“You…” stammering, Zoey looked at Lance in horror.
She assumed that Lance came to find faults with Levi.
“Get lost! Stop bothering me again,” Levi bellowed.
Pursing his lips, Lance shot Zoey a look fraught with emotion.
“Are you out of your mind, Levi? How could you ask him to leave?” Zoey stared at Levi in disbelief.
Whatever it is, Levi is only an ordinary man whereas Lance is one of the Nine Lords.
“It’s okay. I’ll beat him should he appear again,” Levi scorned.
Zoey shook her head helplessly.
He hasn’t changed a bit.
Meanwhile, there were several cruise ships spotted in South Hampton, with the biggest one ferrying William II, The
Avengers, Kuro Dragon, and the others.
“Our prince can’t die in vain. We must demand vengeance for him,” Kuro Dragon tried fanning the flames of the

The rest of the men also chimed in, “That’s right! All those who were involved must die!”
“Yes, especially Lance along with their families!”
Upon hearing the remarks, William II was enraged.
That may sound like a joke.
However, as a rich and powerful king who had countless of incredible talents serving him, he could easily employ
any of the world’s top-notch fighters within the snap of a finger.
Faced with his overbearing influence, Erudia was expected to make further concessions.
Moreover, he had just lost his son.
Therefore, he had concluded that Erudia was in the wrong.
“We have to avenge us at the negotiation tomorrow. In addition, we must strive for more benefits. I suggest we
demand Erudia to hand over the Crown King. An eye for an eye; only his death can atone for Prince William’s
demise,” Kuro Dragon proposed.
The other men shook their heads one by one. “That’s a tricky situation! First, there’s no guarantee that Erudia will
hand over the Crown King. Even if they agreed to do so, we can’t kill him either if he refuses to give in.”
“That’s true, but let’s do our best and give them the ultimatum. Every effort counts.”
The gang reached a consensus.
In the evening, the negotiating team arrived in the company of Lance.
They briefly exchanged greetings and then went their separate ways.
Right when Lance was about to take his leave, Kuro Dragon called out to him.
Lance had his guard up as he stared at Kuro Dragon. “Who are you?”
“Your savior,” declared Kuro Dragon.
Perplexed, Lance asked further, “My savior?”
“Absolutely! Now, the entire world knows that you are the one who plotted to kill Prince William.”
“I…”
“You don’t have a reason to refute this allegation, do you?

“Not only will you have to bear the consequences, your family, your entire clan will be dragged into it too!”
Lance was rendered speechless and breathing faster.
“I know you’re one of the Nine Lords. However, it’s impossible for Erudia to take your side in this matter. Knowing
William II, he wants everyone involved to be buried alive.
“I’m impressed that you’re able to thwart attacks conducted in broad daylight. What about those done in secret?
And if there are thousands of killers? We know everything about your family and friends, like the back of our hands.
“Your actions will lead to a great war between two nations. When that happens, you’ll be a disgrace and hammered
to the pillar of shame forever.”
Kuro Dragon’s analysis was on point, leaving Lance at a loss for words.
Though he acquiesced discreetly, he was infuriated and utterly frustrated at the outcome.
What’s the use of having such great powers? I can’t even exercise it before this outrageous conspiracy and trickery.
He felt awful.
“You said you could help me?” Lance recalled Kuro Dragon’s statement.
“Yes, I’m the only one who can save you, but on one condition.” Kuro Dragon smiled.
