Chapter 363
“Lord Viperbane, resorting to a cowardly ambush.” The Cobalt Strike Commander red at Lord
Viperbane. His face was ashen, and the boiling light of his fury churned violently.
"You should thank me for sparing your life," Lord Viperbane''smanding presence overwhelmed
the warriors around. His domineering aura made hundreds gasp for air, forcing them to retreat
repeatedly.
"Where is that traitorous cur of mine? Did you y him?"

"Commander, there''s no need for this verbal sparring. Hand over vin. You cannot protect him."
The Grand Elder stepped forward out of thin air, standing to the left of Lord Viperbane, his
expression cold and his gaze even colder. He’d toiled for Cobalt Strike for many years, only to be
trumped by the importance of one single person, vin. Now, with the situation boiling over, he''s
been saddled with all manner of vile reputations. But no matter, as long as he could acquire vin
and seize the legacy, his stagnant power could surge dramatically. Who then would dare look down
upon me?
The Cobalt Strike Commandermented, "Even if you plot rebellion, you shouldn''t lose your dignity.
What do you mean by standing behind Lord Viperbane? Are you going to hand over Cobalt Strike to
him as a vassal?"
The Floral Enchantress Commander watched their standoff with detachment, showing no intention
of intervening. Since she didn''t covet the Kings'' eptance, she wasn''t about to wage war against
Lord Viperbane over a mere boy like vin.
"Enough! Hand over vin!" Lord Viperbane strode towards Stormcast. Each step he took was like
a mountain shifting, trembling the skies, terrifying the townsfolk. Lord Viperbane paid no heed to the
distant Floral Enchantress Commander, certain she wouldn''t dare interfere.
"While things are yet in control, surrender vin, and I might spare your life," the Grand Elder
reminded Commander Kashann.
The leader of Amber Valley, Tobin, lurked in the shadows, quietly targeting the Floral Enchantress
Commander.
The atmosphere suddenly tensed as five sacred auras swept across thend, rumbling through the
wilderness and shaking the very fabric of space.
“What if you do get vin? Can you keep him safe?” The Cobalt Strike Commander roared in
defiance.
"Whether to hand him over is your choice. How to protect him is our concern. I remind you onest
time, hand him over! Or don''t me me for beheading you in public!" Lord Viperbane was resolute,
taking bold steps forward. The trio had traveled day and night, finally reaching Stormcast before it
was encircled by other Organizations and Kings. They were determined to quickly take vin and
then join forces to divide the spoils of the Kings'' eptance.
"What do we do? What can we do?" Helna and the others were fraught with fear.
The Cobalt Strike Commander clenched his fists and bravely faced Lord Viperbane. "If it''s a war you
want, then war it shall be! I would rather destroy the Kings'' eptance than let it fall into your
hands."
"A spent force, yet you speak of courage," Lord Viperbane''s mighty aura twisted space itself. The
oppressive weight of mountains and rivers seemed to crush the wilderness.
Many lurking powers retreated once more, lest they be affected by his sacred might.
"Why does the Floral Enchantress Commander not strike?" Oda, tearful and anxious, clung to
Helna.
Celesse sighed softly, "It''s no use ming her. She''s not confident she can withstand Lord
Viperbane, the Grand Elder, and Tobin. She won''t intervene lightly."
"What do we do? Who will save us?" Oda trembled gently.
Helna embraced her. "What of Lady E? Has she not gone to seek help from her grandfather?"
The group sighed. Even if help did arrive, would Jarad assist, or would he seek to dominate? After
all, the temptation of the Kings'' eptance was immense.
Before the Cobalt Strike Commander and Lord Viperbane could sh, their titanic auras collided
like massive waves, and thundering booms spread like rolling thunder across the skies outside the
city.
Inside and outside the city, the air was thick with tension, and all eyes were fixed on the skies, many
too afraid even to breathe.
However, at this moment of high tension, over a dozen elite assassins from Amber Valley silently
infiltrated Stormcast from beneath the ground, taking advantage of the charged atmosphere
between Lord Viperbane and the Cobalt Strike Commander. They sneaked near the city hall in the
shadows of the evening twilight, quietly dispersing throughout the building in search of vin.
These assassins, handpicked by Tobin, were highly skilled, their power and experience making
them aces of their craft.
The Grand Elder and his allies were no fools. They dared not take vin openly. After all, taking
him was easy, but keeping him was hard. So they devised a n. To have Lord Viperbane openly
challenge the Cobalt Strike Commander, then use assassination to spirit away vin unnoticed,
making everyone think vin was still in the city. Even if they couldn’t find him, people would
assume the Cobalt Strike Commander had hidden him away.
