As soon as the words left his mouth, Janko's face darkened immediately. Before he could lash out, Spartan's phone was already connected. "This is Spartan. Get the president of Egenda on the line in the next ten seconds, or in three days, your country's flag will be replaced," Spartan commanded, his voice like rolling thunder.The sheer authority in his tone sent chills through everyone in the private lounge. It was an unmistakable threat, challenging the nation's president. But if anyone had the authority to make such a statement, it was Spartan, the regional director of Dracarium's operations in Afrishan.Before even five seconds passed, a steady voice came through the speaker. "Mr. Spartan! Hello! This is Castro. You wanted to speak to me?"The call was on speakerphone, allowing everyone in the room to hear every single word. In just one sentence, the president of a nation addressed Spartan with an honorific term."I'll give you five minutes to get to Room 412 of Hotel Delta. Be
Xayne’s tone was calm as he questioned."I was wrong!" Mapen stammered, tears streaming down his face as he dropped to his knees."End it yourself," Xayne said casually.Janko’s eyes blazed with fury as he turned to glare at Xayne after he commanded him to kill himself."Guards! Help him do it," Castro shouted without a moment’s hesitation.Before anyone could react, two of Castro’s bodyguards stepped forward, drew their pistols, and unloaded their clips into Mapen’s head.Yzil squeezed his eyes shut in terror as the room was filled with the deafening sound of gunfire. The floor was smeared with blood and shattered bits of skull."Mr. Xayne, does this resolution satisfy you?" Castro asked, turning back to Xayne, his hands extended for a handshake.Spartan stepped forward, blocking him. "Do you think you’re worthy of shaking Mr. Xayne ’s hand?"Castro’s face twitched as he bit his lip and stepped back, swallowing his pride.Xayne cast a dispassionate glance at Janko and said,
"Then, why did Mapen say his pass could get me in?" Xayne frowned."Mr. Xayne, Mapen's pass would only grant you access to the first level. Even my pass can only get someone to the second level. The pyramid has seven levels in total. Our passes only allow access to the outer sections," Castro explained, his voice steady.Xayne's expression shifted slightly as he processed the explanation. After a moment of contemplation, Xayne asked, "What if I force my way in?""That's not possible. I've heard of your reputation, Mr. Xayne, but aren't you worried about the Master of Human Realm? It's said that among the High Priests, there's someone in that realm. For centuries, no one has dared to breach the inner sanctum of the pyramid, and for good reason," Castro said, shaking his head earnestly.The phrase piqued Xayne's curiosity. Castro thought it referred to a person, but Xayne understood it as a legendary level of power, a realm of mastery he knew only from stories.Xayne couldn't believ
"Mommy, I don't want to die, I miss Daddy. Can you tell me who my Daddy is? Will Daddy come to see me? I'm not a worthless bastard!... waaah!"Serena Swift, with tear-streaked face, tightly held the small hand of Coco, who lay in a hospital bed, covered in blood. She cried, "Daddy will come, Coco, you just have to be a good girl," as she tried to reassure her daughter.In a panic, Serena reached for her phone and dialed a number she hadn't called in five years. "Xayne, this is Serena. Our daughter Coco had an accident. She's dying. Please, can you come see her... she's been asking for you... please... where are you?" Her voice trailed off as she crumbled to the ground, unable to speak and trembling uncontrollably."Serena?" Xayne Xavier's voice shook as he heard the news on the other end of the phone. He was dressed in his green Drakonian army uniform, standing on the rank conferral platform of Mount Tiberius, where the area was sealed off with one hundred thousand soldiers statione
Meanwhile, at VolkCare Hospital in Shalholm, a group of black-suited bodyguards burst into the hospital room, forcefully removing the medical staff who were administering emergency treatment to Coco.Serena Swift's distress was evident as she desperately exclaimed, "Who are you? What on earth are you doing? My daughter's life is hanging by a thread!"The sound of footsteps echoed through the corridor outside the emergency room.A young and handsome man, dressed impeccably in a white suit, walked into the emergency room. He calmly said with a cold smirk, "Well, well, Serena. Still not ready to accept my proposal, huh? Consider this car accident a friendly warning. If you agree to my terms and spend a few nights with me, I'll take care of all your daughter's medical expenses. She'll get the best damn treatment money can buy."Serena stared angrily at the tall man in front of her, her eyebrows furrowing with hatred. Suddenly, she lunged forward and grabbed his tie, screaming, "Tristan
The Shalholm airport was currently under lockdown for an unbelievable reason— the world-renowned top three doctors had all arrived in Shalholm on the same chartered plane! This news had sent Mayor Kenneth Selby of Shalholm and the city's wealthiest man, Chuck Lavy, along with numerous entrepreneurs and celebrities, rushing to the airport to meet the three esteemed doctors: Stephen Saye, Rudolf Virchow, and Henry Gray!Each of these doctors had gained worldwide acclaim. They possessed the ability to treat complex medical conditions and even perform miracles, bringing people back from the brink of death!

"Supreme Commander, what should we do?" Chesley expressed his concerns. "I've already ordered Shalholm's combat division to be on standby, but I'm worried that once the Dragonbreakers Legion, with their three hundred thousand troops, arrives in the five provinces of East Yoskea, it will create unnecessary trouble and cause public outrage."Rhaega's expression turned serious, his face darkened. "Establish immediate contact with the Drakonian Council to inform the four elders about this situation! Also, personally go to Shalholm! Hurry!"Afterward, Rhaega stared at the red dot symbols representing the three hundred thousand Northern Plains army on the electronic screen, consumed by deep panic!"Contact the Shalholm authorities right away! Demand the mayor, Chief Enforcement Officer, and the stationed combat division to provide updates on the situation every half an hour! And make sure Linford Haith takes charge of this for me! If there are any oversights or consequences, he'll answer
Mark was dumbfounded. He had received a call from the city hospital and specially requested the Raptor Operators for backup to deal with these extremely vicious criminals, yet he was getting yelled at by his superior!The weirder thing was when Mark looked at the expression on Harold's face, he realized that he seemed very scared of these people in front of him."Chief Saun, what's going on? I'm here to capture them. Why are you asking us to retreat?" Mark swept his gaze across Xayne and his men. He was not a fool, and he could sense an aura of aggression and killing intent from them!If Harold had not barged in suddenly, he would most probably have ordered the Raptor Operators to open fire!"Mark, you stupid donkey! Are you saying I'm not high-ranking enough to order your Patrol Enforcement Division? Get your men out of here now! All of them!" Harold shouted at the top of his lungs, as his heart pounded uncontrollably.Kenneth had given strict orders that no one was allowed to in
