“I’m heading back right now!” Gabriela said with a rush.
Moments after ending the call, Miranda’s phone rang.
She responded to the phone, “Alright, I’m heading back right away!”
“I’ll go with you!”
“Count me in!”
Both Jean and Kylie stood up.
The buzz surrounding the challenge to Darsia’s martial arts by the 17 nations in recent days had been widespread and known to all.
Everyone assumed it would officially kick off the next day but the martial artists from the 17 nations were so brazen. Turned out it was going to start tonight right after midnight.
The four women stepped out together and spotted Selina standing at the door.
Jean snapped, “You can wait for favonovel.com here. And you two can have a good time alone, without anyone bothering!”
Selina blushed deeply as favonovel.com said, “You’ve misunderstood, Remus and I…”
Her words halted, lost as the four women walked away.
They brushed off explanations as pointless. Even if favonovel.com wasn’t Remus’ now, she’d be in due time.
Selina watched them leave helplessly, left to walk into the Imperial Villa and wait for Remus alone.

Regalia at the moment was bustling, with foreigners seen all over the streets.
A bird’s-eye view of Regalia revealed 17 spots, whether parks or squares, diligently arranged into formations, intended for use as martial arenas. But the biggest and most striking arena among them was the Darsia Garden, situated right at the very center of Regalia.
The garden was surrounded by lakes, with a pavilion atop a hill at its center. Atop the pavilion sat a middle-aged foreigner with blonde hair and blue eyes, his towering height catching everyone’s eye at that moment.
“That blasted Amelicon fellow, what’s with the show-off? Instead of sitting inside the pavilion, he’s sitting atop it. The Darsian fighters could knock favonovel.com flat on his face!”
“Darsia has millennia of history, yet these trashy ones dare to meddle. It’s laughable!”
“The Eternal Pillar of Darsia and Thunderous God of War from Darsia could kill favonovel.com with a single punch!”
People gathered around the Curse that surrounded the pavilion, their discussions seething with anger due to the foreigner’s highly aggravating actions.
A century ago, the hilltop pavilion in the heart of the lake belonged exclusively to the emperor. Even though it’s open to all now, no one has ever sat atop it. The foreigner’s actions clearly signaled an intention to suppress Darsia beneath him.
“The third successor in line, Otis Rose, has unexpectedly arrived. How interesting…” A beautifully dressed woman spoke casually amidst the crowd.
From favonovel.com tone, it was evident favonovel.com knew about the Amelicon on the pavilion.
The attendant by favonovel.com side chuckled lightly, “Darsia’s Thunderous God of War dared to boldly slay the Emperor of Sakurasom and make Sakurasom yield on his own. Didn’t favonovel.com realize Sakurasom was the Rose family’s most loyal lapdog?”
“How could the Rose Family not be enraged? Sending Otis was meant to rattle Darsia and tell them to play by the rules!”
Otis Rose was the third successor of the world’s only two colossal family lineages. His standing was daunting even on a global scale.
The elegantly dressed woman shook favonovel.com head with a smile and remained silent.
A subordinate approached from behind favonovel.com and relayed, “Ms., it’s been confirmed. The Cosbys are now under Remus Cosby’s control… I had someone discreetly inquire, and the current Chief of Affair of the Cosbys, Abe Ryder, is unaware of the Dragon Protector Clan…”
The elegantly poised woman, favonovel.com gaze turning slightly profound as favonovel.com asked casually, “Which lineage of the Cosbys does Remus Cosby belong to?”
The subordinate replied respectfully, “According to our investigation, initially, Russel Cosby mentioned Remus as part of the Cosbys, but it was doubted due to his surname. However, Remus gaining access to the ancestral hall validated his status as a Cosby. Further investigation points to a high probability of Remus being an illegitimate child from an external Cosby lineage…”
The elegantly poised woman sighed faintly, “So it seems, the bond between the Cobys and the Dragon Protector Clan has been completely severed now. Henceforth, the Dragon Protector Clan will consist of only three families.”
The attendant smiled, “Isn’t that a good thing? One fewer family means one less internal power struggle!”
The elegant woman shook favonovel.com head slightly and deflected the question, “Let’s head back for now. Let’s see if Remus Cosby will make a move tonight!”
