Chapter 351  

A week passed quickly

During this week. David and Blue Enchantress would walk the streets of the Peace Area every day.

They entrapped people and also seduced those who did not have proper jobs to take the bait. However, he and Blue Enchantress would also often teach lessons to people who wanted to rob them because of their wealthy appearance

Two Oangs even wanted to sexually assault Blue Enchantress and rob them of their money. However, they were swiftly killed by the latter

In the past week, two people who despised evil appeared in the Peace Area, and they scared people who operated in this field so much that they did not dare to go out 

Therefore, in the last two days, no one had taken the bait at all. 

Today was the day when everyone gathered. 

David was sitting on the main seat of the hall in the temporary gathering place of Red Flame

Mercenaries, with Blue Enchantress and Paul standing behind him. At this moment, the hall was full of people, unlike a week ago when there were only a dozen people present. 

They were all captains of mercenary groups of various sizes in Chaos Land. Most of them came for the high commission and not many of them truly wanted to join Red Flame. 

Only Killer‘s small team, Black Water Mercenaries, and some scattered mercenaries really wanted to join

However, the group was also much stronger than a week ago. There were now three masters in the late stage of Dragon Rank, and they were all captains of large mercenary groups in Chaos Land.

Two of them were recruited by Tulip while one was

persuaded by Killer. Additionally, there were also many other mid-and beginner-stage Dragon Rankers 

With so many large and small forces gathered together, their group started to look like they mean business

Coupled with the fact that David was a super master above peak level, no one dared to ignore the existence of his force.

“I’m Silver Face, the captain of Red Flame Mercenaries and the initiator of this mission. If you have any questions, you can ask me,” David said.

“Captain Silver Face, can you really kill Tyrant?“ Asked Lion King, one of the captains at the late stage of Dragon Rank

This was also the concern of everyone present.

They liked money, but they also needed to be alive to spend the money

If Tyrant did not die during their attack on Dark Cape this time, everyone would have to suffer in the future.

“Naturally, I wouldn’t joke about this with you guys.” David said,

“How would you prove it? Talk is cheap, we will not…

Before Lion King could finish speaking, David emanated an aura that terrified everyone present. It enveloped the entire hall and then disappeared in an instant,

“Do you believe me now?’ David asked insipidly.  

“1-1 believe you. I didn’t expect Captain Silver Face to have taken that step. I feel so ashamed of being inferior to you. I. Lion King, will definitely support you, Captain Silver Face,” Lion King said respectfully.

The stronger they were, the better they understood David’s strength. With Lion King’s strength, which was in the late stage of the Dragon Rank, he had absolutely no room for resistance in the face of the aura David just let out.

This was not something a peak Dragon Ranker could do. Lion King knew he would not be able to defeat Tyrant, but he would still have the courage to face him. 

However, he did not dare to endure the aura David had just emanated.

“Any other questions?” David continued to ask. 

“Captain Silver Face, I want to ask how we should divide the benefits after we take down Dark Cape. After all, we came for the benefits so it’s better if we make it clear now. Plus, you aside, we’re the strongest among all the mercenaries and we brought so many people along. We can‘t get the same treatment as the others, right?” Another master at the late stage of the Dragon Rank asked. 

The other masters also looked at David, waiting for his answer.

This was related to their interests.

Chapter 352

Dark Cape was blessed by the heavens, and if they could jointly occupy and manage the land, their life in the future would be much more comfortable.

Even if they could not, they would try to get more benefits from Silver Face.

“After we take down Dark Cape, I will reward you in proportion to how much you’ve contributed and give you enough money to satisfy you. In this place, just because you’re strong, it doesn’t mean you’ll contribute more. It depends on your role in this mission. However, Red Flame Mercenaries will be the only ones occupying Dark Cape, and if I think you’ve made a large contribution, I will issue you a Silver Secret Order. Those who have the Silver Secret Order will get a promise from me. You should all be aware of the weight of this promise,” David said in a low voice.

When David said this, everyone’s eyes lit up. 

A promise from Captain Silver Face?

With his current realm, it was a very hefty reward. If they kept this secret order until the day he broke through to the next realm, the value would increase exponentially. 

If this was left to the end, it would be a foundation for power! 

This would guarantee their safety for a few decades at least.

No one could resist such a temptation. 

A promise from a master that was about to break through to the legendary realm.

Everyone on the scene had been in Chaos Land for many years, so who among them did not have enemies?

At this time, if Red Flame Mercenaries took down Dark Cape

and Captain Silver Face killed Tyrant, his fame would skyrocket and anyone who held the Silver Secret Order would also be respected.

“Don’t worry, Captain Silver Face. Since you have said so, we will do everything in our power to help you seize Dark Cape.”

“Yes, we will definitely help you take control of Dark Cape,” everyone said in unison.

“Alright, now that nobody has any problems, you should lead your own teams and break them up into small groups. We will meet on the west

side of Dark Cape in three days. Once there, I will challenge Tyrant, the number one Dragon Rank, and everyone will witness how I kill Tyrant in person.“ 

Everyone left with their teams in tow. Right now, they needed to rush to Dark Cape.

Their current location was nearly 1000 kilometers away from Dark Cape. Although three days were more than enough, they still wanted to get there as soon as possible, so as not to miss the battle of the century.

This battle was destined to go down in history. 

There were only about 3000 people who belonged 10 Red Flame Mercenaries, a figure they only reached after David recruited more than 1000 people from Black Water Mercenaries.

However, what surprised David was that the owner of Rock Bar, Tulip, a mid-Dragon Ranker, had also stayed.

David then split the team of 3000 people into a few small teams. He let Killer and the other strongest members each lead a team before taking off.

Meanwhile, David brought Blue Enchantress and left on their own.

Dark Cape.

On the land that borders Somerland and Falconia, the only place not disturbed by magnetic fields.

The geographical location of this place was unique, and the two empires are forced to pass through this area if they want to trade. Even planes would need to fly above it.

Neither of the two empires allowed each other to occupy this territory, so the Bloodthirsty Mercenaries seized the chance to do so.

Before Bloodthirsty Mercenaries occupied this place, it was controlled by multiple factions. 

However, after it was seized by the Bloodthirsty Mercenaries, this place fell exclusively under their control.

Anyone passing through this place, whether it was a car, a ship, or a plane, would need to pay, resulting in the checkpoint fee the Bloodthirsty Mercenaries collected every year being an astronomical amount.

Therefore, despite having tens of thousands of members,

after occupying this place, Bloodthirsty Mercenaries had not needed to perform a single mission. This place was too profitable, such that they did not have to worry about money at all. 

Chapter 353  

There was a huge castle in the center of Dark Cape.

The core of the Bloodthirsty Mercenaries lived here, including Justin the Tyrant.

The low-level members of the Bloodthirsty Mercenaries were sent to every corner of Dark Cape, guarding this piece of land that they personally believed belonged to them. They would have rotate positions once a day.

The Bloodthirsty Mercenaries had been occupying Dark Cape for many years and they had slowly abandoned the structure of a mercenary group and began to develop into a sect.

There were three guardians, six elders, and eight secret societies.

Currently, in the great halls of the castle, the core of Bloodthirsty Mercenaries were all gathered.

Sitting in the main seat was a thin middle-aged man with a pale face, a green shirt, and a folding fan in his hand. He looked like a scholar from ancient times.

It was hard to associate this person’s image with the legendary Tyrant.

However, the truth was that this thin and weak-looking middle-aged man was Justin the Tyrant, the captain of Bloodthirsty Mercenaries.

His strength reached the peak of the Dragon Rank and he had been number one in the Dragon Rank for five years. All those who challenged him had been brutally killed in various ways. His brutal reputation resonated throughout the underground world, making countless people tremble at the mere mention of his name.

“Parker, report the situation,” Justin the Tyrant said.

“Yes, Captain,” one of the middle-aged men in his forties stood up and replied.

Immediately afterward, he continued, “When we inspected the edge of the waters of Dark Cape this time, we found a luxury cruise ship with more than 1000 people on it, of which 700 were guests and more than 300 were the staff. These 700 people are all from the upper–class circles of more than ten countries, including the two empires.”

“Everyone, what should we do with these people?” Tyrant asked.

“Captain, why don’t we let the people from the two empires go? And we‘ll ask the families of the rest to prepare a large ransom in exchange for them.” 

“I think we should treat them equally. We can’t be biased to the two empires. What can they do to us? Ask each of them to prepare a ransom of 10 million dollars. We‘ll release the hostages once we receive the money, otherwise, we’ll throw them into the sea to feed the fishes.”

“Agreed, we can’t let other people look down on Bloodthirsty Mercenaries. The two empires must also pay to get back their people, but I have to choose two girls to warm my bed first, I haven’t tried beauties from the upper-class before.”

“Yeah, I agree. I want to choose a few too!”

“I agree too!”

The high–level executives in the room spoke up.

However, some people expressed different views.

“I think it’s better not to offend the two empires. If the two empires join forces to drive us away, we’ll be finished.”

“Derek, why are you so timid? How could the two empires ever join forces? You are overthinking things They obviously want to kill each other. How else would we get the chance to occupy Dark Cape?” “It’s a possibility.” “The possibility you mentioned will never happen!” 

“I agree with Derek. We should avoid offending the two empires as much as possible.” 

Everyone in the hall was giving their opinions. It was a little noisy and they were now split into two sides.

One of the sides said that they could not let Bloodthirsty Mercenaries appear weak and they completely disregard the two empires.

On the contrary, the other team felt that they should not offend the two empires and they should instead keep a amiable relationship with them. 

Tyrant tapped the table with his folding fan. 

The hall fell into silence. Anything Tyrant said in Dark Cape would be the imperial edict and no one would dare to go against him. 

Chapter 354  

Tyrant thought for a while and said, “Ask for all the identities of these people and ask for ransoms according to their family’s situation, let’s just say half of their family‘s property. As for the citizens of the two major empires, just take some money from them as a token. You can have your pick from among the ones who refuse to pay, and you can throw the rest into the pond to feed the piranhas.”

Captain Tyrant had made the final decision and no one raised any objections.

Feeding the hostages to the piranhas was far crueler than throwing them into the sea.

Dark Cape had a huge pond where Tyrant kept many piranhas. Most of those who opposed him were thrown in there to be fish food.

This showed how brutal Justin was.

“Rory, continue the report,” Tyrant said again.

“Yes, Captain.”

A gentle-looking man in his thirties stood up and spoke.

“According to the information received, a month ago, Chaos Land established a mercenary group called

Red Flame. Using a large amount of money as incentive, they attracted a lot of mercenary groups in Chaos Land and are going to attack Dark Cape.”

“Rory, you don’t need to tell me this, right? So many people wanted to attack Dark Cape but how many dare to come in the end?”

“Yeah! This is just a way for them to get famous. How dare those irrelevant rats say they want to attack Dark Cape? It seems they have forgotten the fear Bloodthirsty Mercenaries brought to Chaos Land after so many years of us not acting.” 

“It‘s not the same this time,” Rory, the trusted adviser, said.

“Oh? What’s so different?”

“Red Flame Mercenaries are on their way to Dark Cape and they‘ve joined forces with three large mercenary groups in the Chaos Land. The captains are masters in the late stage of the Dragon Rank. The combined number of people from these three groups comes up to more

than 10 thousand. In addition to Red Flame and those scattered small and medium-sized mercenary groups, there are more than 20 thousand people on their way to attack Dark Cape. Plus, Red Flame Mercenaries even spent a lot of money purchasing a lot of the most advanced weapons to prepare for this,” Rory said with a serious look on his face.

After Rory said that, the high-level executives in the room were all shocked.

An allied army of more than 20 thousand people was on its way to attack Dark Cape with the most advanced weapons in the world?  

This was no joke.

It would definitely cause them a lot of trouble since this battle would not be easy. Still, they never thought they would lose because Tyrant was their captain. “Rory, who is the captain of the Red Flame Mercenaries? How did he convince the three mercenary groups to come and court death?” Someone asked.

“I don’t know his identity for the time being, I only know that he wears a silver mask and calls himself Silver Face. He appeared in the Chaos Land more than a week ago. It is suspected that he has reached the peak of the Dragon Rank, if not, I can‘t explain why the three masters at the late stage of Dragon Rank would agree to come.“

After Rory finished speaking, he looked at everyone with a solemn expression.

If everyone was just surprised just now, now, they were shocked, 

A super master

at the peak of the Dragon Rank was leading three great masters in the late stage of the Dragon Rank. It seemed that there would also be a few beginners and mid–Dragon Rankers. Plus, there were 20 thousand allied troops and countless advanced weapons.

Even if this power was not comparable to Bloodthirsty Mercenaries, it was not far behind. 

If the captain was kept at bay by the other side’s peak Dragon Ranker, then it was really hard to determine the outcome of this battle.

After all, they had lived in Dark Cape for nearly ten years and their savageness had long been diminished by this comfortable and peaceful life. 

In the past few years, the few women that had been abducted here via various means had already born several children. Hence, in their hearts, these men were no longer willing to fight to the death anymore.

Chapter 355  

“Captain, I think we need to pay special attention to this incident and bring the guardian and elder back. It will definitely be a tough battle this time and we can’t take it lightly.” Parker said,

“Yes, they’re coming at us so aggressively. We should call the guardian and the elder as soon as possible so we can plan everything accordingly and not give the enemy a chance.”

The high-level executives of the Bloodthirsty Mercenaries who were present started discussing among themselves

Tyrant sat on his seat steadily and he did not say anything. He was letting everyone discuss

More than a week ago, he received a call from his nephew who was hoping that Tyrant would send two masters to Capital City to help with the Chasez family’s development.

At the end of they day, they were his family so he could not refuse. Besides, if his father Joseph had not sent him abroad overnight, he might still be squatting in the prison in Somerland.

Thus, more than a week ago, he sent a guardian and an elder to Capital City in Somerland to temporarily join the Chasez family and act as the family‘s bodyguards to help with their development.

Therefore, he could not just call them to come back.

Moreover, did he need to call the guardian and elder back for this minor thing? 

If even these people could not fight back, could an extra guardian and elder turn the situation around?

They could only blame themselves for living too comfortably over the past few years and completely losing their motivation to fight. 

He could not let this happen.

It seemed that after this incident, the Bloodthirsty Mercenaries would need to change as if this continued, sooner or later, everyone would become a tiger without teeth.

After waiting for everyone to finish talking, Tyrant said, “You‘re so scared by this trivial matter. I think you have been living too comfortably in the past few years. After this incident, I will completely transform the Bloodthirsty Mercenaries. You guys had lost the motivation you had back then and coincidentally, we have lost our status in Chaos Land. When the time comes, I‘ll ask half of our men to stay in Dark Cape and half of the men to go into the Chaos Land to reinstate our glory.” 1 

Gosh!

Everyone looked at Tyrant in confusion, not knowing whether he was serious or not.

However, if it was true, there would be a question of who would go and who would stay.

“Captain, we will discuss the transformation of the Bloodthirsty Mercenaries later. We should still focus on the allied army of the Red Flame Mercenaries and prepare in advance,“ Rory said on the side.

If anyone in Bloodthirsty Mercenaries dared to question what Tyrant said, it would be Rory.

This was not because of how strong Rory was, but because many of his ideas had made Dark Cape prosper after they seized Dark Corner.

Even though Tyrant was cruel, he was not stupid. If not, how would he have achieved so much? Hence, he was very accommodating to Rory.

“Rory, do you think the others will still dare to continue their attack on Dark Cape if I kill the captain of Red Flame Mercenaries?”. Tyrant asked.

Rory was stunned.

Judging from the current situation of the scattered allied army of Red Flame Mercenaries, as long as Silver Face, a peak Dragon Ranker, was dead, no one else would dare to attack Dark Cape.

However, he envisioned that if the captain was hindered by Silver Face, a tough fight would follow. 

The current Bloodthirsty Mercenaries were no longer the Bloodthirsty Mercenaries of old. If they really tried to fight, they might not be able to beat those mercenaries who had been doing missions in the Chaos Land all year round.

“But if you‘re hindered by Silver Face, Captain, we won‘t necessarily win,” Rory said. 

“You don’t believe in me?”

“I just need to take all the possibilities into account to be fully prepared,” Rory said seriously. 

“Then I should tell you that there is actually a gap between peak Dragon Rankers. There is another transitional realm above the peak. If you take that step, even a peak Dragon Ranker would be nothing.” 

“Captain, d–did you break through that step?” Rory asked in shock, his eyes widening. 

The other Bloodthirsty Mercenaries high-level executives also looked at Tyrant excitedly, waiting for his answer.

If the captain

really took that step, they would not need to worry about the allied army this time and Bloodthirsty Mer

cenaries’ reputation would surely catch up with the second-ranked Mandala Mercenaries in the global underground world.

Chapter 356

“Not yet, but it shouldn’t take too long

I’m already standing at the brink of it, and I can take that step anytime now. Even if I don’t take that step, a mere peak Dragon Ranker is no match for my current strength. I

can guarantee you that even if I was surrounded by more than five peak Dragon Rankers, I’d still be able to kill them all,” Tyrant said confidently.

Rory snapped back to reality and said, “If that’s the case, then I’ll leave it to you. Once you kill Silver Face, then there won’t be any need to worry about the mercenaries since they no longer have a captain to follow. Though, we should still teach them a good lesson, lest anyone thinks the Bloodthirsty Mercenaries are an easy target to pick on.”

“Leave Silver Face to me, I’ll kill him in the shortest time possible and crush their confidence. I’ll leave the handling of everything else to you, the more there is left, the better,” Tyrant said.

“Yes, Captain!”

Capital City, Somerland.

After what happened this month, the Chasez family had reached their apex and excelled beyond other first-rate aristocratic families in Capital City.

Coupled with the two bodyguards hired by the Chasez family last week, one a mid-rank Dragon Ranker and a high-rank Dragon Ranker, the Chasez family had become even more powerful.

No one dared to cross the Chasez family in Capital City now.

Meanwhile, Hank and his brother have become even more fearless.

Not only had Hank become the T Faction’s second Téman, but Hanley, who was still a university student, had also become one of the eight great fighters of the faction.

Hanley had become much more arrogant now as well.

Having understood the shocking past of his family, he set his eyes on Celia again.

He did not care that David was the one who killed Zachary, one of T Faction’s eight great fighters since David still did not dare to kill Hanley.

Hanley had a more powerful background than David did.

Therefore, there was nothing stopping him from making Celia his, not when David did not dare to kill him. If David tried, the entirety of Somerland would be after David.

This was why Hanley was not fearful. However, the reason why he had not done anything to Celia yet was that there was something important the Chasez family had to do now.

Once the matter was dealt with, Hanley would then make Celia his regardless of whether she wanted it or not. Once this matter was dealt with, the Chasez family would become one of the distinguished aristocratic families in Capital City.

By then, Hanley would take Celia whether she or David wanted him to or not, and there was nothing David could do to stop him. The Great Wall Club. Hank had once again gathered members of T Faction for a meeting.

No one dared to question him this time. Chase wore a sinister expression on his face, not daring to make a single sound while Stan waited silently for Hank to speak. With the arrival of the Chasez family’s two new martial arts masters, Stan now saw Hank as an equal.

Hank may not be as physically strong, but he had the familial background to make up for it. Stan did not expect Justin the Tyrant to be able to send out two great masters that were mid and high-ranking Dragon Rankers respectively.

Masters of such level were part of a family’s heritage and were only brought out when necessary.

Chapter 357

Hank swept his gaze across the T Faction great fighters before him while the people who he looked at all averted their gazes instinctively.

The Chasez family had already surpassed the other first-rate families and was joining the circle of distinguished aristocrats.

They were not a family the great fighters could afford to make an enemy of. Hanley sat excitedly below the stage. This was the first time he was participating in a core T Faction gathering.

As a middle-tier member of T Faction, the prestige of the eight great fighters was something h e had long heard of and always dreamed to experience.

Not that he expected this day to arrive so quickly. The other three of Greenwood University’s Fantastic Four immediately tried to get in his good graces when they heard that he had become one of T Faction’s eight great fighters.

They wanted to work with Hanley, so the latter took them in as his underlings. T Faction was a sacred existence among the youths of Capital City, and T’s took pride in being a member of the faction.

As one of its eight great fighters, Hanley was now extremely popular among the youths in Capital City. . It could be said that Hanley was treated as a celebrity in university, constantly getting swarmed by sons of wealthy families trying to get chummy with him.

It was just a shame that Celia did not come to school and missed the sight. At this moment, Hank said, “I called everyone here today to announce two things.

The Chasez family has brought in two bodyguards, both of whom are elders who have worked under my uncle for a long time. To welcome them, the Chasez family has decided to hold a banquet in three days, inviting all renowned aristocrats from Capital City.

I hope to see you guys there, as well as give you the chance to witness a highrank Dragon Rank master up close.” “Don’t worry, Mr. Hank! We’ll be there! “Yeah, yeah! We’ll be there!” Everyone said.

“What’s this? You seem rather reluctant, Chasey.”

Hank said, staring at Chase. Chase then let out a somber smile and replied, “Of course not, Mr. Hank. I would be glad to go t o the banquet. I’ll see you in three days.”

The Snow family used to be slightly better than the Chasez family, but now that the latter had the resources of the T Faction and the help from Justin the Tyrant backing them up, they were miles ahead of the Snow family.

No matter how much Chase hatex or felt indignant about Hank’s sudden surge in status, he knew that the Chasez family was currently at its peak and it was not a good time to become their enemy. Thus, Chase’s only option was to yield.

However, Chase knew that he would take revenge without hesitation if there came a day when the Chasez family fell.

“That’s great, then! And here I thought that you were going to reject and make me look bad in front of everyone!” Hank said with a vague smile.

Then, Hank turned to Stan and said, “I hope to see you as well, Stan!”

“How could I turn down your invitation, Hank? I’d love to see a high-rank Dragon Rank master up close,” Stan replied with a smile.

“Since everyone’s agreed, then I shall await all of you at the Chasez residence in three days. O h, right, I almost forgot to tell you! My uncle actually has a dozen more of those Dragon Rankers under him!”

After this, Hank walked out of the private room with a loud laugh as Hanley followed.

Leaving the others in the private room to stare at each other indignantly.

“Mr. Stan!”

Stan interrupted before Chase could say anything.

“Endure it, for now, Chase. The Chasez family has grown into a force to be reckoned with. With Justin’s current strength and powers, there’s no one strong enough to stop the Chasez family. Let it be. Make sure to prepare nicer gifts and get in the Chasez family’s good graces. We’re all members of T Faction, and I’m sure Hank isn’t one to hold grudges.”

Chapter 358

Stan got up to leave the private room.

The other great fighters shared a look and sighed as well.

If even the T-man himself had made it clear that the Chasez family had grown into a force to b e reckoned with, then there was nothing more they could do except follow Stan’s advice and prepare nicer gifts to get in the Chasez family’s good books.

Jon and his wife had experienced both heaven and hell recently. Around a month ago, the Chasez family had given up on targeting them and returned them 54 % of Beautylish Group’s shares.

Jon had gotten back his job and his superior even showed signs of wanting to promote him and giving him more responsibilities.

However, good things did not last for long and trouble arose again in the past few days. An issue came about with the company and Jon’s career was stalled.

The couple spent their days frowning at home. Celia did as David told her and did not attend any classes in Greenwood. She was an understanding lady, and she knew this was not the time to cause more trouble for her parents and David.

Thus, she did not leave the house at all and stayed at home. Jon and his wife initially assumed that the Chasez family was targeting them again, but after asking around a couple of people they found out that the Chasez family was actually too busy to deal with small fries like them these days.

The Chasez family had been very active in Capital City these days, as there were rumors about how they had received the support of some powerful figure and were now expanding their powers.

The family was also slowly breaking past the boundaries of the first-rate aristocratic circle and was aiming for an even higher status.

The trouble the couple was facing was not a direct result of something the Chasez family had said, but rather the result of Beautylish Group’s partners and close business friends distancing themselves from the Young family in fear that the Chasez family would trouble them for their connection.

The Chasez family had already grown powerful enough to the point where they need not say anything before someone trying to get chummy with them would take the initiative to help the family out.

This was a treatment that only the top four distinguished aristocratic families in Capital City enjoyed. If you were to become an enemy of those four families, someone would immediately step out and help get rid of the “enemy” without those families even uttering a word.

If the Chasez family continues to grow like this, they would quickly become the fifth distinguished aristocratic family in Capital City.

However, any family that wanted to become the fifth distinguished aristocratic family would surely face obstacles set by the other four to stop them.

After all, there were only so many benefits to go around, and any newcomers meant the redistribution of such benefits. Each party would be forced to reap fewer benefits from then on.

However, the Chasez family had the extremely powerful Justin Chasez watching over them, so no one dared to cross them.

Therefore, these four families would rather reap fewer benefits than make an enemy out of Justin.

As a legendary figure within Somerland, Justin was already a hundred and twenty years old. His body was slowly degrading but even so, Somerland was unwilling to start a fight with him, lest Falconia seized the opportunity to attack Somerland.

That was the only reason why Somerland officials did not make any move when two mid and high-ranking Dragon Rank masters of unknown origin suddenly appeared in Capital City, the heart of Somerland.

If Justin was a mere peak Dragon Ranker, even if he topped the Dragon Rank, Somerland was a strong enough empire that it needed not to be concerned about fighting him.

However, the issue was that Dark Cape was under Justin’s rule and this was too important to Somerland. The empire could not risk such a place following into Falconia’s hands.

In truth, the current situation was the best they could manage. This was because the moment either of the two empires, Somerland or Falconia, got ahold of Dark Çape, a war would break out between them.

Thus, Somerland decided to turn a blind eye and even help the Chasez family grow, as did the other families.

Three days later, the Chasez family invited various aristocratic families in Capital City to witness their rise.

Chapter 359

News of Red Flame Mercenaries preparing to attack Dark Cape quickly spread to the ears of the two large empires.

Dark Cape was of great importance to the two empires, so it was only natural that both empires had people surveiling the area at all times.

The moment something unexpected occurs, the news would immediately reach the ears of high officials within the two empires so they could make a decision.

There had been much news of mercenaries launching an attack on Dark Cape, but this was the first time a mercenary group had gathered twenty thousand men and marched toward Dark Cape like Red Flame Mercenaries was doing now.

Both empires took this issue seriously and started looking into Silver Face, the captain of Red Flame Mercenaries. Most importantly, they needed to check if Silver Face was a mercenary group sent over from the other empire. However, neither empire could find anything.

They each had names of the other empire’s peak Dragon Rankers on their lists, and they would be immediately alerted the moment someone went missing.

This was aided by the fact that David had already planned everything out a long time ago and did not want to reveal his identity yet.

He knew that the moment his identity was revealed, Falconia would prevent him from taking control of Dark Cape. In fact, a war between the two empires might even be sparked in advance because of this.

This was why he had switched between countless identities on his way to Dark Cape and even donned a mask just so he would not be identified.

After analyses and investigations from both empires, they confirmed that Silver Face was not someone sent over by the other empire and thus decided not to join this war.

However, that did not mean they would not continue surveilling the situation. To some degree, Red Flame Mercenaries’ attack on the Dark Cape was exactly what both empires wanted to see.

Bloodthirsty Mercenaries had already been in control over the Dark Cape for almost a decade, and the Dark Cape’s advantageous geographical location meant that all mercenary expenses could be paid for without needing to send the mercenaries out on missions. No missions also meant no losses.

Having control over such extreme wealth meant Bloodthirsty Mercenaries would continue to grow stronger and neither empire wanted this to happen.

It did not matter who won, but both Red Flame and Bloodthirsty Mercenaries would suffer losses during this battle of Dark Cape.

Regardless of who took over Dark Cape in the end, the mercenaries would still need a long time to recover.

Three days passed very quickly.

Capital City’s Chasez residence was extremely lively today, with countless guests who were renowned and powerful families in Capital City.

The Chasez family wore bright smiles on their faces because, after today, their family name would shake the whole of Capital City and even the whole of Summerland.

However, they had no idea that a huge battle was about to break out at Dark Cape, one that would determine whether the Chasez family lived or died.

Not even the Chasez family’s guardians or elders knew that Dark Cape was about to be attacked.

This was because Bloodthirsty Mercenaries’ high officials knew that Tyrant was on the edge of a breakthrough and so no one thought that Bloodthirsty would lose.

Red Flame only had one peak Dragon Ranker when Tyrant himself said that he could fight five peak Dragon Rankers with no issue.

Thus, no one informed the Chasez family’s guardians and elders.

Dark Cape.

David stood in Bloodthirsty Mercenaries’ castle with Killer, Tulip, Blue Enchantress, Paul, various Red Flame high officials, and twenty thousand mercenaries behind him.

At this moment, David started to feel strange. Logically speaking, they should already have entered Dark Cape’s borders, yet they had been met with no resistance as cut straight to the heart of Dark Cape.

He knew that something was going to happen. It was possible the enemy had purposefully allowed them to enter and decided to attack from all sides.

David was not the only person who was worried. However, they were already here and a battle was inevitable.

Chapter 360

Their opponent was the third most powerful mercenary group in the world, Bloodthirsty Mercenaries. Tyrant was also ranked first on the Dragon Rank with his prestige spreading far and wide.

A loss meant death, but a win would mean many benefits and fame. “Captain Silver Face, there’s been no resistance since we entered the borders, could we have stepped into their trap?” Asked a mercenary captain who was also a highranked Dragon Ranger.

“Fret not, captains. In face of absolute strength, any trap is fruitless. Once I kill Tyrant and send Bloodthirsty Mercenaries into disarray, all they’ll be thinking of is escaping and they won’t be in any mood to fight.

By then, you’ll all be able to attack the palace easily,” David said expressionlessly, looking at the castle in front of him. “Then here’s to hoping that you win quickly, Captain Silver Face!” In the castle. “Has everything been arranged, Rory?” Asked Justin the Tyrant. “Yes, Captain. We’ve blocked off their escape routes, there’s no returning for them,” Rory replied. “Very good! All of you will follow Rory’s orders. Return to your positions and stay on standby. Once I kill Silver Face and crush their confidence, attack and kill them all.”

“Yes, Captain! May you eliminate the enemy and return victorious!” Shouted all of the Bloodthirsty Mercenaries’ high officials.

“Move!” With Justin the Tyrant’s order, all of Bloodthirsty’s high officials followed Rory’s prior arrangement and returned to their positions.

Some of them left the castle through secret passageways and stationed themselves behind Red Flame Mercenary in preparation to block off their escape routes.

David was about to ask Paul to fire two mini-missiles into the castle just to see if there was anyone inside. Then, a few people appeared on the castle walls a dozen feet above the ground.

Standing in front was a middle-aged man with a pale face and a hand-held fan in his right hand.

This man looked over.

Excluding David, everyone else took an instinctive step backward. That was how powerful Tyrant was.

The moment Killer saw Tyrant, the long-suppressed desire to take revenge immediately exploded.

Had it not been for the huge difference in strength, Killer would have long rushed over to kill Tyrant.

“Justin the Tyrant?” David asked.

His voice was not loud, but it managed to travel very far, allowing the people on the castle walls to hear him despite being hundreds of meters away.

Tyrant’s gaze froze, he did not expect this person to know his true name.

It seemed like this Silver Face was an old friend.

“Who are you? Why don’t you dare to take your mask off?” Justin the Tyrant asked.

“Who I am doesn’t matter. All you need to know is that I’m here to kill you!”

“Kill me? Do you know how many people there are worldwide who want to kill me? And yet here I am, standing before you, alive and well. Those who want to kill me have either been thrown into the pond to feed my fish or didn’t even dare to appear before my eyes. You… you’re a bold one, aren’t you?” Tyrant said with a smile.

“Cut the nonsense and fight me! Everyone’s waiting to see us fight, so how about you show m e the strength of the top ranker of the Dragon Rank?” David said seriously. “As you wish!”
