Winner Takes All

Inside the workshop.

The chilling feeling of kill filled the atmosphere.

It was as if the air froze.

With extreme determination, Achilles White and the eight Golden Guards kneeled in front of Zenith Harol.

This had never happened in the history of Dragon Cavalry!

No one had ever allowed the Commander to set such a precedent in the Dragon Cavalry!

As Jack Hughes knelt on the ground, the bursting pain made his body tremble uncontrollably. His chest violently heaved up and down and he let out a heavy gasp.

At this moment, when he saw Achilles and the eight Golden Guards kneel on the ground, he took a cold breathe, meanwhile, he let out a mocking smile.

After more than ten years of hard working, why should the two generations take lose the competition?

He wasn't sure what the relationship was between Zenith and Brown Hughes.

But when Zenith moved, his steps were too similar with Brown's as if they just came out of a mold. Thus, Jack already had a rough guess in his mind. Master and disciple!

Of course, aside from this possibility, there were also other possibilities.

But right now, this possibility was the most probable one for Jack.

With the background of Uncle Brown, it was impossible for Zenith, as the Commander of the Dragon Cavalry, to not know his identity and background.

He was different as compared to the bystanders Achilles and the eight Golden Guards.

Jack was actually seriously fighting against Zenith.

What he experienced couldn't simply be seen clearly with Achilles and the eight Golden Guards' naked eyes.

How could one say that Zenith only showed mercy in his last strike out of the three strikes?

Zenith was being merciful all the time!

Or else, with just 10% of his strength, one strike would be enough to kill Jack.

"Heh, I'm sure you all have noticed his potential."

Zenith calmly gazed at Achilles and the eight Golden Guards. His invisible deterrence made them extremely uncomfortable, "With such great potential, isn't he good enough to join the Dragon Cavalry? Who among you dares to have a fight with him?"

That one question.

Suddenly made Achilles and the eight Golden Guards blush.

How could they compete?

They couldn't compete with him at all!

The fact that he was an "abandoned son" from the interregnum of more than twenty years and used only a year to grow to this level, it was enough to make everyone feel ashamed. Putting aside his horrifying growth in only a year.

Jack's horrifying combat instinct was enough to prove that no one could ever match him.

"Is no one going to talk anymore?"

Zenith calmly asked.

The eight Golden Guards lowered their heads at the same time.

Only Achilles held his head high and stared at Zenith.

His anger and opposition were different from what the eight Golden Guards felt.

Achilles was angry, not only just because of the entry of Jack into the Dragon Cavalry and his promotion to the second highest position directly.

But also more because of his unwillingness and his anger of accepting the changes in their status.

Last second, Achilles was in the second highest position as the Chief Guard of the Twelve Golden Guard in the Dragon Cavalry.

Next second, he became a foot soldier, but Jack, a criminal who everyone thought should be killed, was suddenly promoted and directly replaced him as the Chief Guard. Achilles would even be willing to risk his life but would never accept this change.

"Commander, even if this is a violation of military law. I, Achilles, need to say something. This action of yours would not convince the three million soldiers of Dragon Cavalry."

"He, Jack Hughes, was the culprit! It was because he seriously injured Chattis, that's why we acted without permission. It was his bodyguard who killed three of our Golden Guards. If Jack didn't seriously injure Chattis, how could this be happening right now?"

"Well, now the victim was punished heavily for his revenge, but when the killer counterattacked your three strikes, he got promoted. That makes no sense!"

Zenith stared fiercely and forcefully as his gaze crashed and swept onto Achilles' body.

He sternly said, "Whatever I, Zenith Harol, say in the Dragon Cavalry will always make sense! He was blessed with unique talents and potential and great combat instinct, yet you opposed so strongly. Then, with the same 10% of my strength, you counterattack my three strikes!"

"..."

Achilles was speechless. His face and ears both turned red.

He didn't dare counter him!

Even though Zenith would only use 10% of his strength, Achilles still didn't dare counterattack his three strikes.

Because he clearly knew that without Jack's unreal and horrifying combat instinct, it was just impossible to withstand Zenith's three strikes.

"If you don't even have the confidence, why are you being so noisy?"

Zenith coldly smiled, "Achilles White, you've got some nerve! He, Jack Hughes, is willing to join the Dragon Cavalry. I'm sure that he will surpass you within three years. Are you telling me to not cherish such talent and just kill him?"

"Jack will be the Chief Guard of the Twelve Golden Guard in the Dragon Cavalry. Who else is against this?"

Silence.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

The silence stayed within the workshop.

The eight Golden Guards frowned. Though they were against it, nobody spoke a word.

To Achilles, Zenith's attitude was already very clear.

No change could be made to this matter anymore!

However.

"I'm against it!"

Jack tried his best to squeeze out a word from his teeth, "I want to go home. I have my own goal."

"Hmm?"

Zenith suddenly turned around and looked at Jack in surprise and confusion.

Then, he smiled evilly, "As the Chief Guard of the Twelve Golden Guard, you don't need to be at the Cavalry all the time. You can freely do whatever you want, and temporarily enjoy your treatment as the Chief Guard. You don't need to serve. Only come when the Dragon Cavalry needs you!"

Achilles was stunned when he heard those words. Even the eight Golden Guards looked at each other and were extremely shocked.

This kind of solicitation wasn't an implicit offer anymore, it was an explicit offer where he could just sit back and enjoy.

Those who could join the Dragon Cavalry are all outstanding people.

Therefore, the Golden Guards and Chief Guard were the best of the best.

He could enjoy the honor of being the Chief Guard, but he didn't need to serve in the cavalry and be in the battlefield?

Nevertheless, Jack still stayed silent.

At that moment.

He was finally sure that he really got in through connections mysteriously.

Zenith was simply being way too obvious.

He gave him such a high position where he could lead thousands people. He didn't even need to put in any effort. How could this make any sense?

"Okay!"

Since they had already reached this point, Jack didn't act reluctant anymore and nodded his head in agreement.

Whoosh!

Zenith threw out a business card, and it flew down to Jack.

"This is my contact information. If anything happens, the Dragon Cavalry will back you up."

Jack stared at the business card in a daze.

When he came back into his senses, Zenith already left the workshop with Achilles and the eight Golden Guards.

The engine of the warplane rumbled like the thunder.

As it rumbled, the warplane took off, flew into the sky, and disappeared in the night sky.

After a long while.

Jack finally slowly adjusted to his body condition.

Although Zenith's three strikes were deadly, painful, and even made him vomit blood.

But he was clear that those three strikes, even the final killer strike.

Zenith controlled his strength with such skill to make him look like a mess on the outside, but unharmed on the inside.

The extreme pain caused Jack's right hand trembled hard.

But he still endured the pain and picked up the business card on the ground.

The black alloy business card was heavy.

It was extremely simple. The telephone number was engraved on top.

When he flipped it over and saw the words on the business card, Jack burst into laughter.

The words on the business card were surprisingly, "Your uncle is my master."
