James hid the car and ascended the mountain road. He glanced ahead and took out his phone.His phone had fallen silent.His whereabouts seemed clear to the enemy despite the lack of a tracker on him. With this, he deduced that they were somehow tracking him through his phone.He dashed out and disappeared into the forest beside the mountain road.Entering deep into the mountain forest, he managed to find a hare and tied his phone to it. James patted the hare’s small head and released it.The hare instantly disappeared into the forest.Meanwhile, James walked out of the dense forest and made his way to the mountaintop.“Where’s the Black Dragon?”“His phone location seems to suggest he’s wandering around the mountain and is getting further from Mount Thunder Pass.”“As expected from the Black Dragon, he noticed what we were doing. He’s definitely making his way here as we speak. Pass down the order for everyone to stay on guard. Use drones to keep an eye on the mountain trail
He saw many fully armed mercenaries, combat aircraft, tanks, heavy artillery, and other lethal weapons. His lips twisted in a scowl upon seeing this scene.It would be difficult for him to secretly rescue Henry since Mount Thunder was so heavily guarded.If he simply showed himself, a fierce battle would ensue.James was not afraid of fighting.However, he was afraid of Henry’s life being used as leverage against him during the battle.After observing the enemies' situation, James quietly descended the tree and approached Mount Thunder.Not long after, he saw fully armed mercenaries ahead. He cautiously scanned the surroundings and found countless snipers hidden throughout the area.There were many people hiding on the mountain roads to the top.The whole area was filled with danger, and he’d be courting death if he continued to advance. Yet, Henry would die if he did not ascend the mountain.Henry had followed him for many years, and he was not going to let him die a te
James had disguised himself among the mercenaries and was silently observing the situation. When Willy ordered everyone to move toward the mountaintop, he followed the mercenaries in tow. After they gathered at the top, James scanned his surroundings. He was able to make a rough guess on how many people were gathered there. There were around five hundred mercenaries and all of them were armed to the teeth. The remainder totaled up to fifty people, including foreigners. He saw Henry, who was being trampled underfoot, surrounded by seven or eight men. They were all pointing their guns at Henry’s head. If he made one wrong move, Henry would have been killed on the spot. Even if James believed he could kill everyone here, he chose his actions carefully. He was here to save a life, not to kill. Willy’s eyes scanned the mercenaries gathered before him. He suddenly realized something and yelled, “Back off, all of you!” After that exclamation, he grabbed the dying Henry of
“Stop right there, Black Dragon!” Willy pressed his gun against Henry and fired a warning shot. “Stop right there or I’ll kill him,” He said coldly. James was around ten meters away from Willy. He stopped in his tracks. At that moment, hundreds of firearms were immediately pointed at him. “Ha ha ha…” Willy burst into laughter. “So what if you’re the Black Dragon? You still lost to me in the end.” James looked at the masked Willy, and his face darkened. “I’ve shown myself. Let him go.” “You wish. This will be your final resting place.” James said disinterestedly, “I’ve already resigned from my post but it’s different for him. He’s still a general of the Southern Plains. Killing him will only incur the wrath of Sol. Are you willing to stand against the fury of Sol and millions of the Black Dragon army? “I assure you. If he’s dead, the Black Dragon army will storm out of the pass and trample all neighboring states underfoot. Blood will be spilled. There’s no way you
The fighters did not want to kill James in the state he was in. They all wanted to defeat James in a proper fight and claim the title of the number one fighter in the world. Willy, who was sent flying earlier, got up from the ground and shrieked furiously, “Do you have any idea what you’re doing?! Do you seriously think you bunch of small fries can defeat the Black Dragon? Get a grip! I’m ordering you to kill him now!” James crouched down. He looked at Henry on the ground and took his pulse. James’ face darkened. He swiftly marked the vital acupoints on Henry’s body and pulled out a few silver needles. Dexterously, he inserted five silver needles into Henry’s vital acupuncture points. Henry’s life was hanging by a thread. James had to end the battle as soon as possible. He needed to get Henry out of there and treat his injuries. Otherwise, it’d be too late. Willy pulled out his gun once more. “Move and you’re dead.” The 28 fighters in turn pointed their guns at
The remaining 27 men shuddered. Though they had heard of the Black Dragon’s strength, they didn’t expect it to be this terrifying. The man who had just been killed was called Titan. He was the strongest fighter in all of Malgudi. The Malgudians were widely known as the warrior race, a title they wholly deserved. Upon seeing this, Willy was left speechless. He grabbed a machine gun on the ground and blasted away at James. “Die! Die!” James was nimble. He rolled toward Titan’s corpse and used it as a shield against the burst of gunfire. Then, with a flick of his finger, a silver needle flew out from his hand and plunged into Willy’s body. Willy immediately went limp and fell to the ground. As he knew Willy was not the mastermind behind everything, he made sure to leave him alive. Willy was the only lead he had in uncovering the person who was actually behind all of this. After taking Willy out, he looked at the remaining 27 fighters. Although they were stunned by
The Black Dragon was the commander-in-chief of the Southern Plains. He was in charge of an army a million strong and was also the guardian of Sol. It was the perfect opportunity to hunt him down now that he had resigned from his position. The Black Dragon had been the target all along. Not only did they have a group of mercenaries and the twenty-eight-nation martial art gurus, but they also had a trump card up their sleeves─the twenty-eight-nation military coalition. The 28 tiny nations at the border of the Southern Plains had each mobilized three thousand men and formed a hundred-thousand-strong grand army. They only had a single objective in mind─exterminate the Black Dragon. Seeing the combat aircraft, James carried Henry and swiftly made his way into the depths of the forest. He knew that it was his only option if he wanted to make it out alive. If he were found, he would be relentlessly bombarded by the combat aircraft. Although his strength was unrivaled, he was def
However, he was currently in a precarious situation. There was no way he could keep Henry alive on his own. “I’ll avenge you, Henry.” Wearing a grim expression, James clenched his fists. “I’ll never forgive the person behind this. Rest well here. I’m going to divert the enemies’ attention. You must hang in there. Reinforcements will arrive at daybreak. When the time comes, I’ll bring you back to Cansington.” James lifted Henry and walked toward the deepest parts of the cave. Finally, he found a secluded spot and hid Henry there. After that, he removed any lingering scents and traces that were there. James knew that the enemy would have military dogs. If they happened to detect their scent, Henry would be as good as doomed. Removing Henry’s scent would prevent them from sensing his presence. After ensuring everything was set up the best it could be, he quickly left. He left the stone cave and headed straight into the thick foliage. His experience staying in the Southern
