Chapter 823 Dead Or Alive
There was a reason why the divine-stage Novem Ste Warriors were very arrogant.
After all, there were very few in the world who could reach their level.
This was also the reason why Stuart found Draken''s jab quite humiliating. He was thus determined
to fight with Draken and reim his lost dignity.
Stuart brandished the two scimitars he was holding and charged right at Draken.
Indeed, Stuart did possess the abilities of a divine-stage Novem Ste Warrior.
When he dashed over, his form had suddenly split into two.
Is this a shadow cloning technique? No, both apparitions appeared to be real. This is definitely not
an illusion.
Just as everyone was waiting to see Draken''s response, Draken snapped his fingers and looked at
Stuart as though he was a fool.

Stuart keenly felt that something had opened in front of him, but he could not see what that thing
was.
Suddenly, the scimitars Stuart held seemed to hit something that resembled a cobweb.
Not only did his des not manage to slice through the cobweb, but the huge rebound Stuart felt
when he hit the cobweb had nearly broken his wrists.
“What the heck is this thing?”
As soon as Stuart finished speaking, his head appeared to have been cut by a sharp knife,
revealing nothing but his bloody neck.
Everyone was so taken aback that they gasped collectively and jumped out of their seats.
How did Stuart end up beheaded just like that?
As they all stood up collectively, the blood-soaked Stuart suddenly disappeared from everyone''s
view.
Meanwhile, the real Stuart was rooted to the spot, too frightened to even move.
He could not tell when Draken had chosen to act.
He could also clearly sense that Draken did not wish to kill him. Otherwise, Draken would not have
cared that it was merely Stuart''s apparition that had been struck. Draken could''ve easily disposed of
them both without much difficulty.
“What now, Mr. Irving? Do we still need to cross swords?”
Stuart knew that Draken had chosen to spare him, so he did not dare to speak impertinently either.
With an awkward smile, he said, “Absolutely not. There''s no need for this. I merely got a little carried
away earlier. So how does the Youngblood family want to conduct this operation? What do you
need me to do? I wouldn''t darein.”
Draken was satisfied with Stuart''s sudden change in attitude.
What''s this about being hot-tempered? In the world of Ste Warriors, only the capable ones have
the right to be hot-tempered. Anyone who''s not capable simply doesn''t have the right to behave that
way.
“Apart from Mr. Irving, is there anyone else who isn''t happy with the Youngblood family?” asked
Draken.
His gaze swept through the room, and the other nine Ste Warriors did not dare say a word.
Everyone present was a divine-stage Novem Ste Warrior. Even if they had to fight each other,
these fights needed to be reciprocal, and multiple rounds of fighting would be needed to determine
the victor.
However, when Draken attacked Stuart, the winner had been decided in the blink of an eye.
The more concerning aspect was that nobody had noticed how Draken made his move.
When there was such a vast difference in skills, nobody dared to object.
“Since there are no objections, then we shouldmence this meeting.”
Draken signaled to his subordinate, who gave each of the nine Ste Warriors a copy of the
documents.
“This document contains a map showing the route Jennifer takes on her dailymute, as well as
her other daily routines. I know that you are all used to being superior and think that someone like
Jennifer is small fry who doesn''t need that many people to handle. However, let me draw your
attention to some of this intel.”
Draken paused briefly before he added, “A few days ago, two experts of the divine stage of Mortal
Realm have gone missing in Pollerton. Until now, we do not know if they are dead or alive.”
