“That sounds about right.”
Dustin nodded.
“There’s been a huge change in the Astonishing World List. Alaric Drakon and Seth Hughes passed away one after
another. Cesar Fent is still missing, and Nestor Wilkins was killed. We lost four of the ten best fighters from last year.
It’s a huge loss. We’re lucky to have found new and strong fighters to replace them. It’s true that new talents will
always replace old ones,” Grace said.
“Do you know anything about the new people who just made it to the list?” Dustin suddenly asked.
“The fifth one on the list, Reagan Judd. He is the new leader of Dragon Guard. My father told you about him before.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe used to go by Reston Rever. He finally got what he wanted when Alaric Drakon died.”
“I know Reagan Judd. What I don’t understand is, he was never on the list before. How did he make it to the list
after Alaric’s death and how did he make it to the top five?”
Dustin was slightly curious.
“How should I explain this? Reagan has never revealed much about himself. When Alaric was still alive, Reagan was
overshadowed and no one paid much attention to him. After Alaric’s death, Reagan succeeded him as leader. He
quickly took control of the remnants of Dragon Guard with an iron fist. When that happened, the Zenith Society
finally realized that Reagan was no ordinary person and ranked him fifth. This was based on their conservative
estimation. His true potential should be no weaker than the leaders of the three major sects,” Grace spoke in a
serious tone.
“Really?”
Dustin frowned slightly. The gap between those listed on the Astonishing World List was huge. Seth Hughes still won
despite taking on three of the fighters on the Astonishing World List alone. From this, the gap was obvious for all to
see.
Besides, Dustin had fought against Nestor Wilkins. His and Nestor’s abilities were on par with each other. Dustin had
to use the secret Rhys technique just so he could win by a little. Even Nestor who ranked tenth was very strong. He
couldn’t imagine how terrifying Reagan would be, given that he ranked fifth. He wasn’t sure if he would survive the
match if he really met Reagon, much less win the fight.
“He must be extraordinary to become the next-in-command of Dragon Guard.”
Grace said seriously, “Besides, there are many talents in Dragon Guard.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlthough Seth might have defeated half of the force, those that remain still pose a real risk. Our trip to West
Lucozia this time is very dangerous.”
“What? Are you scared? If you regret coming with me, we can still turn back. 11
Dustin flashed a smile.
“I will, of course, fulfill what I have promised you. Besides, you might not be able to go up against the remnants of
Dragon Guard without my help,” Grace said.
“Your Highness, you’re absolutely right. When we arrive in West Lucozia, I’ll depend on you entirely.”
Dustin poked fun at her.
“Stop joking around. You’re the mastermind. You have to do your part, my job is to assist only,” Grace said in an
exasperated manner.
“You’re the more able-bodied one among us. I’m a patient now, and I need to rest.”
