“You’re ignorant! You’re not even qualified to fight me!” Megrez coldly retorted. “After this, make sure to apologize to the vale’s citizens you have harmed!” As his words fell, his eyes narrowed and a faint sword shadow appeared before him.


    “Die!” With a deep voice, the sword shadow shot out like a speeding bullet, unstoppable. At his level, whether he had a weapon or not made no difference. He could materialize any weapon with his true energy, and its power was no different from a physical object.


    The sword shadow, carrying an unstoppable force, pierced straight through the mouth of the skull statue. Then, it pierced through Aiden’s forehead, leaving a gushing stream of blood from his brow.


    “So… strong…”


    Struggling to utter a few words, Aiden fell straight down, legs twitching, and took hisst breath. One of the culprits behind the vale catastrophe from a hundred years ago had perished.


    Five minutester, Megrez and Fabian walked out of the estate’s gate. The once tranquil estate was now engulfed in mes. At this moment, the Yade family, one of the few duke families in Xidengia, was officially eradicated.


    …


    The next morning, news of the Yade family’s annihtion spread like wildfire throughout every corner of Xidengia. Everyone who heard the news wore a stunned expression. The mighty Yade family had been wiped out overnight. Everyone was guessing which the force possessed such strength and audacity was.


    Inside the Xidengia Pce, the sovereign, upon hearing the news, erupted in fury and ordered a thorough investigation to find the culprits. A prestigious duke family being eradicated right under his nose was a direct p to his face, and it stung. If this matter was not exined, Xidengia would no longer be able to hold its head high on the international stage.


    Soon, investigators returned from the scene with news that the Yades’ residence had been reduced to ashes. There were no clues to be found within thepound. Furthermore, from 10 p. m.st night until this morning, all surveince systems within a ten-kilometer radius of the Yade family’s estate had malfunctioned, failing to record any information.


    After hearing the report, the Xidengia sovereign smashed a vintage vase, standing as tall as an adult, into pieces in a fit of rage. Although he had long suspected, hecked any evidence. He couldn’t simply confront vale based on his own spections. If it were a hundred years ago, such actions might have been possible. But now, vale was on apletely different level. He was well aware that if a full-scale conflict erupted between the two countries, Xidengia would have no chance of winning. Therefore, besides ordering a continued investigation, he had no other choice.


    “Lord Dragon!”


    The next morning at 8:30 a. m., Princess Eligina of Aqundia arrived at the resting area of vale. After finishing her conversation with Billy, Megrez greeted Ivy and Harleen once again.


    “Princess Eligina, please have a seat!” Harleen smiled lightly.


    “Thank you!” Princess Eligina nodded and took a seat on the couch. After a brief pause, she looked at Billy and asked, “Lord Dragon, how should we arrange today’s matches?”


    Beforeing here, an agreement had already been reached between the two countries. The Aqundia contestants would follow Billy’s instructions, so she had to check in with him every day. While speaking, her mind was not calm. She had heard about the Yade family incident early this morning, and her first reaction was that Billy had ordered it. Although she hadn’t personally experienced the vale catastrophe a hundred years ago, she had thoroughly researched it. She knew that Aiden Yade was one of the perpetrators who invaded vale a hundred years ago, and now the entire family had been wiped out. It was most likely the work of people from vale. She genuinely admired Billy in her heart. To eliminate such arge family in one fell swoop, it took an extraordinary strength and courage that ordinary people couldn’t possess.


    As the princess of Aqundia, Eligina had seen countless so-called talented young individuals, but none of them couldpare to even one-tenth of Billy’s abilities. For a brief moment, she had a feeling of meeting someone she should have met long ago.


    “Today, send out your highest-ranked Aqundia contestants one by one to earn some points for yourselves.” Billy said calmly.


    Originally, Aqundia’s ranking in thispetition was not within his considerations. However, thinking about the ice cave in Pr Snow Domain, which allowed the top three countries to enter, he changed his mind. The situation inside the ice cave was unknown and filled with uncertainty. Having an extra ally would be better than having an extra enemy.


    “Thank you, Lord Dragon!” Eligina expressed her gratitude. After a slight pause, she continued, “Lord Dragon, will all the top-ranked contestants be sent out today?”


    “Except for Steve, everyone else willpete today!” Billy responded calmly.


    Upon hearing Billy’s words, Eligina couldn’t help but feel shocked. Steve was the true strongest contestant sent by Aqundia to participate in thepetition, their ace. But on the surface, he had only disyed the cultivation level of a Fourth-Rank Sovereign, ranking third. This matter was highly confidential within Aqundia. But now, Billy directly mentioned his name, indicating that he already knew his true strength.


    “Are you surprised?” Billy smiled faintly. “For me, Aqundia has no secrets, so it’s better for you not to y any tricks! Otherwise, you will bear all the consequences!”Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    “You’re being serious, Lord Dragon!” Eligina steadied her emotions and continued, “We are allies, and naturally, we should be honest with each other!” Then, she stood up and said, “I’ll leave you to it. I’ll go make the arrangements!”


    “Okay.” Billy nodded in response.


    “Boss, how should we arrange things today?” After Eligina left, Azure Fang looked at Billy and asked.


    “Casey, Azure Fang, Bob, Ivy, and Harleen, the five of you keep an eye on the top ten contestants from Aqundia.” Billy said. “If everything goes as expected, they should bring out the top-ranked contestants from Northfortia and Xidengia!”


    “Boss, are you suggesting that if the Aqundia contestants are not a challenge, we should step in?” Bob asked.


    “Yes!” Billy nodded, “But only if we are confident!”


    “Understood!” Casey and the others nodded in unison.


    “Azure Dragon, you and the rest continue as you did yesterday, visit every arena and score some points first.” Billy continued, looking at Azure Dragon and Ian.


    “Alright!” Vermilion Bird and the others responded in unison.


    “And what about us?” Felicia asked Billy.


    In yesterday’s matches, she, along with Rakshasa, Han Holmes, and Judge, each scored several tens of points for vale before conceding and withdrawing from thepetition.


    “The four of you keep an eye on Oriana and Veridiania’s representatives, see if they have any tricks up their sleeves.” Billy instructed again.


    “Got it!” The four of them stood up and left after responding.


    At 9 o’clock in the morning, the day’spetitions officially began.
