ログインWithout knowing that Oscar had already become the Archon, Arthur continued pursuing his own plan to expose Caleb's conspiracy.At last, Oscar used the grandmaster assembly he had convened as bait to lure Caleb and his followers into the Dragon Abyss, where they were captured in a single operation."When I learned that Oscar had become the Archon, I did think about asking him for help. But what father doesn't want what is best for his son?"I lured Caleb into the Dragon Abyss fully prepared to die there myself. That was why I never told Oscar. But the universe's musings left me a way out after all. Somehow, I managed to escape the Dragon Abyss alive!"It was only Amara, Clara, and Freya who paid the price... They became the sacrifices for this plan!"Arthur spoke with deep emotion, and every detail of his account came across as flawless and complete. The senior officials of Draconox standing beside him filled in any missing details and corroborated his story.The reason the sister
"What is going on? Was Arthur not dead for several years? How is he standing here alive and well? Explain yourself!"Arthur wiped away his tears, then slowly began to tell his story.Arthur was a native of Silverton in Solareon. Years ago, he had served as the personal guard to a former Draconox Archon.When that Archon was believed to have died young, the new Archon had no use for Arthur, so he resigned and returned to Silverton to start a business. Thanks to his connections and capabilities, the Chamberlain Group quickly grew into a thriving enterprise.But that peaceful life did not last. The Archon Arthur had once served had never actually died, and years later, he tracked Arthur down. He revealed that he had uncovered a conspiracy involving Caleb.No, perhaps it was a conspiracy involving an entire group of Draconox elders.Under the pretense of curing the Archon's curse, they had secretly colluded with the dragons and spread the Dragonform Technique, the very technique peop
Natalie knew Arthur. Back when he was still alive, Oscar had taken her to the Chamberlain residence several times. She had never met his daughters, but Oscar had wanted her to recognize their faces so she could look after the family if the need ever arose.She had attended Arthur's funeral as well. She had even arranged for a master craftsman from overseas to build his ice coffin by hand. In other words, in her memory, Arthur was as thoroughly dead as anyone could possibly be.To put it bluntly, the grass on his grave should have grown and withered several times by now. And yet there he was, standing right in front of her, very much alive.He barely looked any different. If anything, he seemed even younger than the first time she had met him.No, not younger exactly. The faint lines at the corners of his eyes still revealed his age. What made him appear so youthful was the overwhelming vitality radiating from him.Natalie's instincts screamed a warning. The Arthur standing before
Christopher waved a hand. "What are you all standing around for? Seize them now!"The sisters shrank behind Natalie in fear. With her standing protectively in front of them, the guards did not dare make a move."Anyone who dares stand in our way..."Just as Christopher was about to make his position clear to Natalie, one subordinate suddenly rushed over with a strange expression on his face."Mr. Quintus!" He leaned close and whispered something into Christopher's ear."What?" Christopher's eyes widened. "How is that possible?"Disbelief spread across his face. "Are you certain?""Absolutely!""Quick! Come with me to greet them!"Christopher hurried away, leading a group of Draconox members with him.Meanwhile, the guards surrounded Natalie on all sides. She wondered what could have sent Christopher rushing off so suddenly. However, with guards blocking every path, all she could do was fold her arms in irritation and wait for him to return.At that moment, Giana stepped out
"You wouldn't dare!" Natalie's anger flared at once. "We came here to solve a problem. Is this really your idea of solving it?"She glanced back at the sisters behind her. Terror filled their faces as the guards closed in around them.The Chamberlain family had fallen, and Oscar had been branded a collaborator with the enemy. They had plunged from the heights of privilege into the depths of ruin, drifting like duckweed in the wind with nothing left to cling to.Back at the headquarters, Christopher's confidence had returned in full. "Of course! Lady Red Hawk, I respect you as an envoy of the Everflame Order. But this is Draconox business here in the North Domain, and I suggest you stay out of it!"Every one of these people bears the Chamberlain name! First Amara and Clara were found to possess draconic energy, and now Oscar transformed into a dragon and betrayed us! As members of his family, they are already guilty of a capital crime, one that cannot be forgiven!"Natalie refused
"That man wasn't wearing any clothes, was he?"Betty's heart skipped a beat. She was only 17 and still in high school. She had come to stay with her sister for a few days during summer break.She had never had a boyfriend. Although she occasionally entertained thoughts like that, the demands of school and her strict upbringing had never given her the chance to act on them.She suddenly remembered something she had seen in a comic book. Almost without realizing it, her gaze drifted from the corner of her eye toward the one thing that had piqued her curiosity."Hey, Bets, what are you looking at?"The sudden shout startled Betty out of her thoughts."Nothing! I'm not looking at anything!" She whipped her head toward the window in a panic, and the two women in the front immediately burst into laughter."This handsome guy really is good-looking. No wonder our Bets couldn't stop sneaking glances! Here I thought she had a crush on some boy at school.""Let me tell you, this guy..."
Black storm clouds pressed low over the Percham District.Beneath them, narrow lanes packed tight with men in black jackets and trousers stretched into the distance, cold steel gripped in their hands.Rain struck the blades, and each metallic ring sliced through the night like a warning."Shut th
"That little bastard," Bella snapped as soon as she stepped through the door. "He's gotten real bold."She tossed her umbrella onto the floor and dropped onto the sofa, her cheeks still tight with anger.Amara entered with a cup of coffee, stirring it in slow, steady circles.The other sisters dr
"Miss Bella, you're here!"Unlike Oscar, the Chamberlain sisters lived in the spotlight. They made headlines almost daily. In Silverton, nearly everyone recognized them.Victor hurried to drag over a stool. He wiped it down with his sleeve and offered it to Bella.She glanced at it. Disgust flick
"Victor, we really have no money left!" George dropped to his knees. "We already repaid the 60,000 dollars we borrowed from you. Over the years, it was 6,000 here, 6,000 there. Now it's somehow 600,000? How are we supposed to come up with that?"He pressed his forehead to the floor. "Please. Leave
