Chapter 0520 The Duke of War, Maxine, renowned throughout the land! Even among Wyverna's common folk, those who had not seen Maxine in person had at least heard of her illustrious name through countless television broadcasts and military reports.
Under the command of the Temple of War, at the pinnacle of martial prowess, personally ennobled by the ruler of Wyverna, second only to the Lord of War! "Maxine Griffith!" Besides Alexander, Harper evidently had already guessed the identity of Maxine, his legs trembling in fear,
instinctively about to kneel down.
"Duke of War, please forgive me. I was unintentionally disrespectful. It's all a misunderstanding, truly..." His voice abruptly halted! Alexander casually extended his hand, a subtle surge of invisible energy spreading out. He then calmly spoke, "Return to the factory, seal the doors, deactivate all cameras." "Nothing that occurs here is to be leaked to anyone, or else there will be no mercy!" Boom! Harper's mind buzzed for a moment, completely dumbfounded! 'What is Mister Kane saying? How could he dare to give orders in front of the Maxine? Didn't he realize Maxine's

She, the female Duke of War with countless military exploits, was the most trusted individual of the Temple of War and also ranked among the top 10 powerhouses in the entire Wyverna.
Among global powerhouses, she could easily make it into the top 50! "Do as I say." Alexander sensed Harper's astonishment, raising his hand gently. "Don't worry, go on!" Along, thick surge of invisible force propelled Harper's body involuntarily into the production workshop behind.
The gates closed, all cameras extinguished, effortlessly cutting off the video feed with this surge of
energy! "Look!" Not far away, Larry could not hold back anymore, suddenly pointing at Alexander, angrily scolding, "He dares to act so arrogantly in front of you. It's outrageous! He must be..." Slap! Slap, slap, slap, slap...
A torrential storm of resounding slaps! Maxine's beautiful face turned pale as she wielded her palm like a sharp blade, drawing fresh blood from both sides of Larry's face. Then she let out a tender yet commanding shout, "Kneel before me!" Buzz! Larry was struck so hard that he saw
stars, stumbling around in place, utterly dumbfounded.
Am I supposed to kneel before this brat?" 'Is she out of her mind? I'm her cousin.
How can she turn against me like this? Shouldn't she make this kid kneel to me instead?" Beside him, the four enforcers Larry brought along were already trembling with fear, kneeling on the ground as if their souls had left their bodies.
They did not even have the right to speak, let alone the courage to open their mouths! "Mister Kane." Without Alexander's permission, Maxine would not dare to reveal the identity of the Lord of War.
She bowed her head respectfully and

Alexander nodded slowly as if in contemplation.
Six years ago, when the Temple of War had just been established, the Four Dukes of War had not yet been officially appointed. Due to the invasion of the enemy country into Wyverna, tens of thousands of civilians suffered, and Maxine's family and many relatives were brutally slaughtered. She only had a few surviving relatives left.
Since joining the Temple of War, Maxine had fought tirelessly on the battlefield, achieving countless ) military exploits despite being a woman. Eventually, she gained the recognition of Alexander, who personally taught her martial arts techniques, finally becoming a Duke of War! Within the Temple of War, the relationship was akin to that of a mentor and disciple. He knew of her life experiences.
Larry had not yet to kneel, one hand covering his bloodied cheek, the other pointing at Alexander's nose.
He cried out, "You, why do you seem to fear him? Isn't the Lord of War your backer?" "He just disrespected the Lord of War.
We can't let it go! Isn't the Lord of War the strongest in the world? Bring him out and let him settle the score with this kid!" "The Lord of the Temple of War is the only idol of my life. Even if it costs me my life, I must make him pay with his blood!" Fool! "The one standing before you is the idol you just spoke of, the Lord of War, revered by all!’ Maxine bit her lip, kicking Larry to the ground, then bowed 90 degrees, her voice filled with regret.
Whether Larry lives or dies, it's up to you to decide, Mister Kane. I have no objections!"
