With conflict brewing in the West End, the Zovince elections approaching, and

a Martial Saint from Shoiya sweeping through Chanaea’s martial world,

tensions were rising across the nation. Yet, in the Ancient Woods of Eldoria,

peace still prevailed.

Xarri and Quell had returned once more to the Ancient Woods.

“That hidden Summerton family is truly despicable. They gave us a fake tome

that almost led us into madness! Their intentions are clearly malicious!” Quell

complained as they trekked through the dense forest, biting her lip in

frustration.

The two had saved Julian and Ashton, only to receive two conflicting versions

of the Dragon Tome. Now, they were missing Roselynn’s version to complete

the puzzle.

Over the past weeks, Xarri and Quell had studied the Dragon Tome. If not for

Xarri’s deep internal strength and resilience, he wouldn’t have been able to

save Quell from the dangerous effects of the fake tome, which almost drove

her into insanity. It had been a close call, far too dangerous for comfort.

Xarri listened to Quell’s words, nodding as he gazed into the distance.

“Everyone has their reasons for what they do. The hidden Summerton family

must have deeper motives behind this. We can’t underestimate them.”

“Xarri, what do you think their goal was in giving us a fake tome?” Quell asked,

walking slightly behind him, curious about his thoughts.

“The hidden Summerton family has always been a formidable power with

grand ambitions. They once sought to dominate Chanaea, and when that

dream collapsed, they withdrew from public view. But even in hiding, they’ve

been stockpiling weapons. I doubt they’re doing that just for self–defense,”

Warri explained carefully. “I suspect they released the fake Dragon Tome to

harm others, yes, but also to stir up chaos.”

“Chaos?” Quell still seemed confused. “It feels like they’re acting randomly. We

don’t have any personal grudges with them. Why would they target us too?”

Xarri’s expression grew grimmer by the second. “I believe they want to create

as much disorder in Chanaea as possible. The more chaotic things become,

the easier it will be for them to seize power and benefit from the situation.”

Quell wanted to say more, but Xarri suddenly gestured for silence. Moments

later, they heard footsteps approaching through the forest. The siblings

quickly hid, and they saw a group led by the large–headed steward entering

a cave. The people with him wore what appeared to be an unusual type of

military uniform.

“Xarri, what are those Summerton family people up to? They’re armed with

guns!” Quell whispered in shock,

Xarri didn’t immediately respond, as he wasn’t sure himself. The last time

they had ventured to the mountain peak had been relatively easy, but now,

with the situation escalating, he couldn’t help but warn his sister, “Quell, this

time, if we’re going to steal the real Dragon Tome from the summit, it’s going

to be a hundred times more dangerous than before. You need to be mentally

prepared.”

“Understood,” Quell replied, her eyes growing more serious as the gravity of

Just as they had expected, this time, the stone door was tightly locked. They

had no idea how to open it, and unlike their previous visit, they couldn’t just

The Dragon Tome rightfully belonged to their family, the Lannisters. It was the

key to restoring their family’s honor and clearing their father’s name. They

couldn’t afford to fail.

Xarri glanced at the sky and whispered, “It’ll be dark soon. We’ll move once

night falls.”

“Understood,” Quell replied. She had unwavering faith in her brother’s abilities.

Though proud and cold to others, she obeyed her brother’s every word.

After waiting a while, the night finally descended. As luck would have it, the

four guards stationed at the door were switching shifts. Xarri gave Quell a

quick signal, and the two silently slipped into a hidden spot, deliberately

making noise to draw attention.

“Who’s there?” The four guards, preparing to switch posts, immediately

rushed toward the noise.

Marri and Quell lured them down a dead–end, and once they had them

where they wanted, the siblings turned to face the guards.

“Well, well, I thought it was some lost animal, but it turns out it’s peopler one

of the men sneered.

“Haha, and that woman’s got quite the charm. I bet her skin feels soft; mind if

I give it a touch?” said the man in the lead, reaching out to caress Quell’s

face.

In a flash, Quell unsheathed her sword and sliced his hand clean off. Blood

spurted wildly as the man’s screams were silenced by a mouthful of grass

that Quell shoved into his mouth. She glared coldly at him and asked, “How’s

that? Do you like it?”

The remaining three guards were instantly pale with shock. They hadn’t

xpected the woman to be so formidable. Their leader had let his guard

down for a moment and paid the price with his hand.

The guards prepared to attack, but their focus was entirely on Quell. Before

they could react, Xarri swiftly took them down in one clean strike each.

Thud. Thud. Thud.

The three bodies hit the ground almost simultaneously, leaving the one

injured guard staring in horror, unable to make a sound with his mouth

gagged. Who are these terrifying people?

“Put on their uniforms,” Xarri ordered, his face emotionless.

Ten minutes later, the siblings found themselves back at the entrance.

“What took you so long?” One of the guards standing at the door scowled

with impatience.

“Sorry, two of the guys had some stomach issues and took a while,” Xarri

muttered in a low voice.

“Where are they now?” the guard asked suspiciously.

“Still… dealing with it,” Xarri replied, keeping his head down.

“Fine, whatever. If anything goes wrong, it’s on you!” the guards grumbled,

preparing to leave.

Xarri probed carefully, “Where’s the key to the stone door?”

“The key?” The guards turned back, visibly startled.

One of them, more agitated, blurted out, “You don’t know how to open the

stone door? All you have to do is rotate that stone there and-”

“Shut up!” the lead guard barked, cutting him off, then narrowed his eyes at

Swish!

Xarri moved swiftly, his sword slicing through the air, taking down two of the

guards before they could react.

“We have intru-” The other two tried to shout for help but were silenced in an

instant, each dispatched by Xarri and Quell.

Recalling the guard’s instructions, Xarri carefully searched the area near the

door. After testing a few stones, he finally found the right one, rotating it to

unlock the stone door. Sharing a quick glance with Quell, Xarri led the way

inside the stone hall.

But unlike their previous visit, they were greeted by a shocking sight–an

entire crowd of people, all dressed in military–style uniforms, busy organizing

weapons and gear.

The siblings were stunned. They had suspected that the Summerton family

harbored ill intentions, but they hadn’t imagined they were amassing a

private army, preparing for some major plot.

“What’s going on? Why was there so much noise at the door just now?” The

large–headed steward from earlier entered the stone hall, looking to

investigate. But Xarri and Quell, taking advantage of the darkness, quickly

blended into the crowd. Dressed similarly to the others, they easily slipped

into the chaos unnoticed. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

Unable to find the source of the commotion, the steward stepped outside. His

Immediately, he shouted at the top of his lungs, “We’ve been breached!

He rushed back inside, locking the stone door behind him.

Xarri and Quell were now trapped inside. Quell felt a flicker of panic. Despite

the crowd, they knew that a thorough search would eventually uncover them.

“Let’s move!” Xarri found a gap and pulled his sister into a nearby stone

tunnel, using his exceptional martial skills to sneak them further into the

shadows.

At the top of the stone hall, Salem, instead of being with his new wife, was

engrossed in a discussion with Finley about the current state of affairs.

“Mackenzie Quillen, the chairman of the Nuthana Chamber of Commerce, is

trying to win votes by heading to the West End to form a coalition against the

Five Poison Sect,” Finley said, pointing at a map. “If the Five Poison Sect is

defeated, they’ll likely retreat into the disputed border region. If weapons

from Chanaea end up bombing the residents there, it’ll definitely spark a

border conflict between the two countries!”

Salem stroked his beard, nodding slightly, a glimmer of satisfaction in his

eyes.

“Now look at the East. Yorick Dotson has entered Chanaea, stirring up trouble.

He’s the Martial Saint of Shoiya, highly revered in his country, and a close

friend of the king. If he’s assassinated in Chanaea while a conflict breaks out

between Chanaea and Kasango in the West End, Shoiya–always eyeing

hanaea’s fertile land–will certainly seize the opportunity to send troops!”

Finley continued, his analysis sharp.

“Good! When Chanaea is thrown into chaos, our chance will come!” Salem’s

eyes gleamed with a hint of greed.

“Great Master, that alone won’t be enough!” Finley shook his head, waving his

hand dismissively. “Even with our thirty thousand troops, we won’t be able to

take control of Chanaea, let alone govern Zovince. We’ll need another force

to back us. Only once he’s elected president and grants us legitimate

authority can we march into Zovince and take control of the entire country!”

“Excellent! That man has been scheming with us for years. We’ll be able to

move swiftly with his cooperation!” Salem’s face curled into a sinister smile.

that moment, the big–headed steward came rushing in, panic etched

across his face. “Great Master, we have a problem! Someone’s broken into

the palace!”

“What?!” Salem’s eyes turned icy. “Who dared to break in? Kill them on sight!*

It was a critical time, and the Summerton family’s secrets could not be

exposed to the public. Whoever dared trespass had to be eliminated–no

exceptions.

them down. If they escape, they could become a huge threat to us!” the

big–headed steward added, his voice filled with urgency.

Useless!” Salem, who appeared so benevolent in front of Julian and the

others, was now cold and merciless. He struck the steward across the face.

“You’ve got one day. If you don’t kill the intruder by then, I’ll kill you!”

“Y–yes, Great Master!” The big–headed steward hurriedly retreated to carry

out his orders.

That same night, elsewhere, Teddy was once again guiding Gautier Verkade

in practicing the Dragon Tome.

Suddenly, Gautier’s face flushed, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

“Whoa, Gautier, are you okay?” Teddy quickly rushed over, concerned.

Teddy’s expression grew a little strange, but he still showed concern. “If that’s

the case, let’s stop here for today. Remember, when practicing martial arts,

you must never force it. Always work within the limits of your abilities.”

talent is terrible on purpose?

He knew full well that Teddy had deliberately misled him on a small detail. By

Wollowing Teddy’s instructions and pushing through the practice, Gautier had

ended up in a dangerous state. But he couldn’t stop practicing, nor could he

continue pretending not to get it.

Gautier was acutely aware that Teddy was both testing him and, due to his

cautious nature, preferred him to seem a little “dumb“-easier to control that

way. He had to strike a balance: not too clever, or he’d become a threat, like

Thomas More from the history, but not too foolish, or Teddy might deem him

unworthy of investment.

“Yes, Master!” Gautier replied, taking the towel Teddy handed him to wipe the

blood from his body.
