When Skylar heard that, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he quickly dismissed the thought. He knew that
the soul in him would be able to read all of his thoughts.
Once he returned to the lobby, one of the Warriors Alliance’s members came to report to him. “The head of the
Deragons, Ryker Deragon, has requested an audience with the president. What do we do?” the other man asked.
“He’s already here, so invite him in.” At that, Skylar sat on the frontmost seat in the hall. Ryker entered the hall with
a file in his hands.
The moment he saw Skylar on that seat, he froze. “Skylar Norton?” Ryker drew his brows together. “Why are you
sitting there? Where’s President Zeigler?”

“Please take a seat, Mr. Deragon,” Skylar said with a small smile. “President Zeigler is currently absent due to
certain matters, and I am now the vice president of the Warriors Alliance.”
“What nonsense is this?” Ryker cried out. “You’re a mutt who has no family, so how can you be the vice president of
the alliance? Moreover, the vice president is elected. How could they have possibly chosen you?”
The moment Skylar heard Ryker call him a mutt without a family, his expression turned downright glacial.
That was the most painful thing in his life. Jared had annihilated the Norton family, and he, who was once the son of
the mighty Norton family, had turned into a man with no support.
“You can question my position, but mind the way you speak to me.”
At that, Skylar unleashed his aura, which sent waves of pressure toward Ryker.
Ryker was an experienced Martial Arts Grandmaster, so he was no weaker than Zion. Hence, it was impossible for
him to be fearful of a young man like Skylar.
Ryker was not even afraid of David if the latter was still alive, let alone Skylar.
Ryker shuddered, and a wave of aura exploded outward toward the waves of pressure.
However, just as the two auras collided against each other, Ryker felt a powerful pressure crush him and force him
back onto the chair.
In fact, the chair beneath him shattered and left Ryker in a disheveled state.
Immediately, Ryker whipped his head to look at Skylar in astonishment.
He never thought that Skylar would grow so powerful in such a short time.
“Mr. Deragon, if I say I’m the vice president of the Warriors Alliance, then I am the vice president of the Warriors
Alliance. This is the token, and you can take a look at it.”
As he spoke, he took out a piece of white nephrite with a carving of an eagle’s head on it.
Ryker’s expression changed greatly at the sight of the gem, and in the end, he threw it back to Skylar.
Skylar’s lips curled when he saw Ryker’s expression. “Mr. Deragon, have you come to hold a Trial?”
Ryker nodded. “Indeed. These are the documents.”

Skylar skimmed through the papers before knitting his brows. “Dragon Island?”
“Yes. Dragon Island is a plot of land that belongs to the Deragons, so holding a Trial at Dragon Island would be an
appropriate choice,” Ryker said with a nod.
“But Dragon Island is now an ordinary island and is even a tourist spot now. There aren’t any resources there to be
found, so what’s the point of holding a Trial there?”
Skylar knew Dragon Island far too well. Back then, he had tricked Jared into going to Dragon Island. Yet, not only did
he fail to carry out his plan, but he also let Jared get his hands on the draconic essence. He returned with empty
hands and even crossed Jared in the process.
A faint smile grew on Ryker’s lips. “Although the fire and ice dragons on Dragon Island have disappeared, there is
still an ancient ruin under the island that no one has been to. I hear that it’s a dangerous place, and therefore, we’ll
have to find the younger ones for the Trial this time.”
“Is there really an ancient ruin there?” Skylar asked, a little doubtful.
“Of course. If it’s just a normal island, the people will curse at the Deragons until the end of the world if I were to
hold the Trial there,” Ryker explained.
