Chapter 53
Hector did not know why Rowena was so terrified. However, he knew that Rowena had figured out the
identity of their father’s murderer.
It was the same person who murdered the other patriarchs as well.
One family, in particr, stood out to him.
The Cadens! There was only one family who had bad blood with the Xaviers as well as the other three
families.
It was the Cadens, who were destroyed ten years ago! He did not ask further questions or say anything
else, turning to leave instead.
Lying on the bed, Rowena was in despair.
All she wanted was for the Xaviers to reim their power.
Now, she knew that it was fruitless.She should be counting her blessings that her family was still alive.
“The ck Dragon is terrifying.He''s trying to get rid of The Great Four once and for all.I get it
though.Based on what happened ten years ago, anyone else would have a hard time putting it behind
them too,” Rowenamumbled hopelessly.
Simultaneously at some military base.The Blithe King was in his military uniform, adorned with five
stars.
“Sir, something happenedst night.A few people were murdered.They were...” The Blithe King''s most
trusted confidant approached, giving him a rundown ofst night’s events.
“Hmm?”
The Blithe King’s brows furrowed.
“Was it the ck Dragon?”
“Highly likely.The ck Dragon was the one Thea saved from the fire ten years ago.His face was badly
burned and disfigured.Somehow, he managed to transform his facepletely.He ended up at the
Southern ins, bing a soldier and killing enemies on the battlefield.He made his mark within the
short span of ten years, earning the moniker of the ck Dragon and leading the ck Dragon Army
of a million soldiers.”
“Confused, the Blithe king asked, "Does he have a grudge against The Great Four?"
"I''ve discovered that the incident ten years ago regarding the Cadens getting eradicated is closely tied
to the X.viers.The fire at the Cadens'' involves The Great Font as well.” The Blithe king looked as
though he was deep in thought.
Previously, all he knew was that James murdered Trent because Trent had made a move on his wife,
Thea.He did not expect that it would be thisplicated.
Thea saved James ten years ago, while the Xaviers were responsible for eradicating the Cadens.
“Sir, what should we do? It''s supposed to be your session ceremony today, but James has made a
mess of things.If we don''t say something, this will affect your reputation!”
The Blithe king looked bitter.
“Say something? What do you want me to say? Do you expect me to send an army and take the ck
Dragon down? I don''t have the guts.Report it to the higher-ups.Let''s see what they say!”
“Yes, sir."
"Hold on..."
“Is there anything else, sir?”
“Forget about it.”
The Blithe King gave it some more thought, saying, “Cover it up.Get someone to take the me for
James.”
"Sir, please consider it carefully.The ck Dragon resigned and returned to Cansington for
revenge.This is just the beginning.Who knows how many more of The Great Four will die? We can
cover it up once, but can we do it forever? If we’re not careful, this could cause an uproar.Furthermore,
this is under your jurisdiction.If the higher-ups were to pin the me on someone, the responsibility…”
“Do as I say!”
The Blitheking took a deep breath.
Who was the ck Dragon? He was themander of the Southern ins,manding his soldiers
like a god.
Not only was his strength unrivaled, but his medical skills were also second to none! The Blithe king did
not think the higher-ups would cause any trouble for theck Dragon.
If he reported it, they might even suspect him of using the ck Dragon.

He really would not be able to take the me then.
“Yes, sir.I''ll think of something now and notify the media.” The Blithe King’s confidant left.
The Blithe King pondered on the matter.
Surely the higher authorities were familiar with James’ background.
Yet, they allowed James to return to Cansington.Then, they assigned him here.
“What are they trying to do?” The Blithe King exhaled deeply.He could not guess at their thoughts
anymore.
