Rufus smiled indifferently. “We poisoned Julius. If he wants to live, he needs to listen to
us.”
“What if he has a way to treat the poison?” Eloise asked. Rufus shook his head and smiled.
“It doesn’t matter if he can neutralize the poison. Julius is a smart person. He knows that
working with Reagan is like partnering with a lion.
“Julius could act confidently before as he had some influence. However, he has absolutely
nothing now. He’s not on equal footing with Reagan at all. Once Julius loses his value,
Reagan will not spare him.
“We’re different, though. Julius is from the Rhys family and is a blood relative to me. I can
still spare his life even if he betrayed us.
“If he performs well and manages to redeem himself through his mission, we can offer him
a life of prosperity. What do you think he would choose?”
“Your Highness, you’re right. However, it’s difficult to tell what he is thinking. What if Julius
refuses the opportunity and insists on going down the wrong path? What should we do?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEloise asked.
“If that’s the case, Julius is just seeking for death,” Rufus replied indifferently.
“I don’t care if Julius dies or not. But Austin…” Eloise was hesitant to continue.
“Don’t overthink. They’re no longer kids. They long have the ability to handle things by
themselves. Exterminating Dragon Guard can be considered a test for them this time.
“If they can successfully complete it, I can entrust West Lucozia to them with confidence.”
Rufus smiled.
His two sons were not ordinary individuals. Although they were young, they were way
more capable than him when he was their age. They would surely become outstanding
figures with some training.
“Don’t look so solemn. I’ve already called Albert over. If anything happens, he will make
sure they’re safe,” Rufus consoled.
“So you’ve already prepared in advance.
“Eloise let out a sigh of relief.
“They’re my sons. There’s no way I wouldn’t be concerned about them. However, I hope
they can take on more responsibility.
“That’s why Albert wouldn’t help them unless it’s a life-and-death situation. It’s all up to
them whether they succeed,” Rufus said.
“What a good strategy. It seems like I’ve been worrying too much.” Eloise nodded. Eloise
didn’t care if they could exterminate Dragon Guard. She only wished for her son’s safety.
That was all she hoped for.
In a villager’s house located at Bronx Mountain Range, Dustin sat and closed his eyes. He
was patiently waiting for the outcome of the investigation.
After a long time, the door suddenly swung open.
Austin and the top grade spy rushed inside.
After Austin came inside, he sat down and took out a map. Then, he started to explain.
“Our spies did a comprehensive research along this region. Finally, we discovered
something unusual in a quite dangerous location. Here!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAustin pointed to the middle of the map with his index finger. Then, he continued, “This is
a massive valley with entrances at both ends.
“The entrance at the front is in our territory, while the back entrance is at the border of
our enemy nation. This valley spans two countries.
“Of course, this isn’t the main point. The most important part is that our spies found a tall
and thick wall at the entrance of the valley.
“There were also many firearms on top of it. It’s similar to a fortress in times of war from it
looks. If I’m not mistaken, this should be the secret base of Dragon Guard.
“However, due to the number of Dragon Guard spies around it, our spies didn’t dare to get
close. They hurried back to report to us after confirming its location.”
After hearing that, Dustin nodded.” Good job. We finally found where their base is.”
“Although we found where their base is, its location makes it easy for them to defend and
hard for us to attack. It’s going to be challenging to capture all of them.
“Most importantly, we don’t know what it’s like behind the wall. How many troops does
Dragon Guard have? If we recklessly attack, we might face heavy losses!” Austin
explained seriously.
