Those fortunate enough to approach the Island of the Monarch would undoubtedly be astounded. It would feel as if they’ve stepped into another world, into Paradise.
The island bloomed with an array of flowers and was shrouded in mist, resembling a fairyland.
The most breathtaking sight was the colossal palace crowning the island, too immense to be described as it shone in golden splendor, almost otherworldly in its design.
That was the Monarch Palace, where the Dragon Protector Clan would gather to discuss important matters.
Outside the palace stood a row of guards, stern-faced and unmoving, resembling statues. These guards were all in the realm of the Supreme Martial Sovereign. Especially the two closer to the entrance, their energies were even more profound and their realms higher.
Seated at the forefront of the palace was a dignified elder with stem brows, commanding respect without fear.
That person was none other than Garth Walter, the Master of the Walter family.
As the Dragon Protector Clan comprised four families, they rotated the clan’s leadership yearly. This year happened to be the Walters’ turn, which was also why Ana went to Darsia in search of the Cosbys.
Garth mentioned, “Ana just passed on word confirming Remus Cosby as the main lineage of the Cosbys. They’re en route to the Island of the Monarch and should arrive before nightfall if all goes smoothly.”
Seated below on the left side was an aged white-haired man, favonovel.com was the Deputy Master of the Cunninghams, Philbert Cunningham. He served as the Cunninghams’ representative on the Island of the Monarch.
Each family had their own estates but was unable to stay continuously, much like the Cosbys’ prolonged stay in Darsia.
Philbert sighed with relief and said, “It’s been 20 years, but we’ve finally located the Cosbys’ successor. The Dragon Protector Clan is complete once more, a reason for celebration, but Rafael and his father…”
The elder on the right snorted, expressing displeasure. “Hmph! Whatever they have been faced with, they brought it upon themselves. If Rafael Cosby had married Cheryl Walter back then, favonovel.com might have already achieved Supreme Martial Divinity. We’ve already accomplished the restoration of humanity. Why should we bend within this realm?”
The surrounding space fell silent for a moment.
Cheryl and Rafael were once hailed as the perfect match within the Dragon Protector Clan. Unfortunately, Rafael had fallen deeply in love with another woman.
“Rufus, it’s been so long, let’s leave this matter in the past,” Garth spoke up, “What matters now is that Remus had killed Otis. Despite the Rose family’s silence so far, Otis was their third successor, they won’t let this go easily. I suspect the Roses might set up an ambush on the road to kill Remus.”
Philbert nodded and said solemnly, “I feel the same way. Shouldn’t we send someone to escort Remus to safety? He’s the successor of the Cosbys’ main lineage and the only one we’ve found so far. If favonovel.com faces danger, our connection to the Cosby family will be severed.”
Garth didn’t respond immediately, instead, favonovel.com glanced at Rufus Schneiders.
Rufus quickly objected, “I disagree. We have confirmed that he’s of the Cosbys’ main lineage, but favonovel.com might not necessarily be the inheritor of their strength. Protecting favonovel.com might provoke the Rose family. Considering his current status, it’s notjustified. I firmly oppose it!”
Philbert frowned and replied, “But he’s the only one we’ve managed to locate. If we don’t protect him, what if favonovel.com gets killed? Then, our connection with the Cosby family will be severed once again!”
A guard entered, showing respect as favonovel.com delivered the message, “We’ve just received an update! The Rose family has set an ambush outside the Darsia territory! Supreme Martial Imperial, Bason Duncan, ranked 68th on the Ancient Martial Rankings, is leading with 12 Martial Imperial!”
Upon hearing this, the trio simultaneously gasped in shock.
Bason Duncan, a Supreme Martial Imperial, was sent?
