Chapter 15


    "It was me!"


    It was just three words, yet it resounded through the hall like crackling thunder and rang in the


    attendees'' ears, shaking all thoughts from their minds.


    Even Trent, still on stage, was stunned.He was a battle- hardened deputymander of the Western


    border.He had fought hundreds of battles alongside the Blithe King himself, yet James''s roar froze him


    completely, rendering him unable to react for an instant.


    When he was finally able to move, he spotted a man walking into the hall.The person donned a ck


    ghost mask, and a chill emanated from his body.This chill seemed to prate throughout the entire


    hall, lowering the temperature by a few degrees.


    "That''s him?"


    "That''s the person in the ghost mask that killed Warren Xavier!"


    The celebrities finally reacted, their faces growing pale in shock and terror as James walked past them.


    They remembered the gruesome image that had happened only half a month ago, when William


    Xavier''s arm was yanked off, and Warren Xavier was decapitated, his headless body falling into a pool


    of his own blood.


    "You?"


    Trent''s expression darkened.He knew the ghost mask this man wore.He had seen it on their


    surveince footage, when this man murdered his father.


    "The remnant of the Cadens?"


    Trent stared at James, who was still approaching him.He may have been a battle-hardened deputy


    commander, with over a hundred battles under his belt, but the bloodlust he felt from this man was


    nothing he had ever experienced.


    James''s face was obscured by the mask, his blood-red eyes the only thing that was exposed.Henry,


    who had been following James, spotted the bloodied Thea on stage, her shallow gasps for breath the


    only indication that she was alive.His heart started pounding.He knew then that there was about to be a


    massacre within this hall.He had worked under James long enough to know what his temper was like.


    There were only two things James cared deeply about.Therades that fought alongside him...


    And the girl who saved him from that inferno, his savior who had been on his mind ever since that


    fateful day.


    James had given up on eminent glory and honor for Thea Cahan.If he kept that honor, he would


    likely have be the head of the Five Commanders in the future.


    Yet Trent had dared torment Thea like this.


    Dragons hadmes.


    Touch them, and death would be assured.Thea was James''sme.Trent was a dead man.No one


    could save him now! Even if the Blithe King stood before them, he would be cut down if he dared make


    an attempt to stop James! The big hall waspletely silent.


    James and Trent made eye contact.


    Trent''s battle-hardened body trembled slightly under James''s gaze, and sweat beaded inexplicably on


    his forehead.


    James reached behind him and pulled out a length of incredibly thin wire.His hand tightened around the


    wire, made of silver needles, and walked slowly to the auction stage as the crowd watched silently on.


    Thud! Thud! Thud! The sound of his wide leather toe box shoes echoed rhythmically throughout the


    hall, startling the audience with every step he took.His footsteps grew heavier, bing akin to an


    earthquake by the end, even managing to shake the tables and chairs.


    "The...ck..."


    Trent''s face contorted in horror as he spotted the silver needle wire in James''s hand.


    There was only one person in this world capable of using silver needle wires for battle.


    Only one! Swish! With a flick of James''s wrist, the wire split instantaneously.Silver needles exploded


    towards Trent, embedding themselves urately between his brows.


    They then flew back to James, once again converging to form a thin wire, now stained red with blood.


    Trent died without even getting hisst words outpletely.


    The only thing he felt in his death was a deep regret.He spotted a wire in the surveince footage, but it


    was too far away for him to identify what it was.


    If he had known, he would never have dared mess with Thea Cahan, even if he was given all the


    courage in the world! This was the ck Dragon! The legendary ck Dragon of the Southern ins,


    one of The Five Commanders, on par with his superior! Yet he knew that even though they were of the


    same rank, not even ten Blithe Kings would win against one ck Dragon! Trent fell over slowly as the


    horrified crowd watched on, unable to even yell out in pain.


    Theaid on the stage.


    In her daze, she spotted the person wearing the ghost mask.The owner of the mask approached


    her.She tried to clear her hazy vision so she could memorize the mask, but she had lost too much


    blood.Her mind was engulfed in a fog as she passed out.


    Just before unconsciousness imed her, she felt a pair of strong arms pick her up.


    "Leave not even a single member of the western army alive.As for the Xaviers, leave them


    untouched.I''ll show them what true despair is, because that''s how they''re going to die."


    James''s voice resounded clearly throughout the hall as he walked out with Thea.


    The fully-armed soldiers stared stunned at their dead deputymander, trembling with fear as they


    stood around the tform.


    With his order received, Henry marched over to them, his windbreaker flying open as he reached into


    them, pulling out his throwing knives.


    Swish swish! The knives flew towards their targets, and two of the western border soldiers fell, a pool of


    blood forming beneath them.

    Henry made his way backstage, but the fight ended almost instantaneously.


    Every western border soldier fell to the ground before they could even start to react.


    Therge venue once again fell silent.


    The Cansington celebrities were now cowering on the ground, their heads buried in their arms as they


    stayed as still as they could.


    Ten minutes passed before some of the more courageous attendees stood back up, taking in a


    shocked breath as they saw the bodies of Trent and the other western border soldiers lying in pools of


    their own blood.


    As for the other Xaviers, they were too shaken from their fright to speak.


    At that moment, they were ovee with terror! They remembered how the man said he was going to


    show them true despair, that that was how they were going to die.


    Someone finally reacted and called the cops.


    Soon, some police arrived.They found the kidnapped Cahans and released them, then secured the


    parameters and started questioning and taking down statements.
