Chapter 403

Theodore was even more shocked than Felix. He could immediately recognize from their uniforms that everyone in the warehouse belonged to Earthern Hall. "Interesting. Seems like Andrei sent quite a remarkable person," Felix said, his voice snapping Theodore out of his shock...

Theodore took a deep breath and stepped forward. "Indeed, you're not an ordinary guy. You're even able to command members of Dragon Alliance."

Since Theodore recognized them, things might turn out easier than expected. "In that case, tell me why Andrei's causing me trouble. Make it quick." Theodore shook his head. "I don't know the details. My only task is to take Pierce back."

Felix smiled. "Since you know they're all members of Earthern Hall, do you actually think you can take Pierce?"

Theodore continued forward with a calm expression. "I planned to kill you too at first. Now I'm just taking Pierce. Also, these people are no match for me."

Felix frowned. This man did not seem to be bluffing.

"Well, if it isn't Theodore." Vivian appeared right then, taking her place beside Felix.

Theodore studied her, then smiled. "Vivian? You've grown so much."

Instead of responding, Vivian explained to Felix, "Felix, this is Theodore, former deputy chief of Earthern Hall. He requested to leave after returning from a mission with the vice leader's permission."

No wonder he recognized everyone. He was once part of Dragon Alliance himself." Theodore, don't be foolish. You know the consequences of opposing Dragon Alliance. I can assure you, you'll be offending Dragon Alliance by attacking Felix." Theodore stopped. He was clearly surprised by Vivian's words. He had assumed Felix had merely pulled some strings for backup, but there was clearly more to it.

"Fine. I'll take Pierce and report everything to Andrei. Whatever he decides after that is beyond my control."

Vivian stepped forward as she manifested her aura. "You're welcome to try taking him."

After assessing her, Theodore's eyes filled with admiration. "I always knew you were a martial prodigy. To think that you've reached Martial King level in such a short time. Impressive."

Indeed, after recovering from her injuries from Solomon of the Elders' Council, Vivian had broken through the level of Martial King. It was a blessing in disguise.

When Theodore released his aura, Vivian's expression changed. "You're a Martial Emperor now? But don't forget-if you act today, you're making an enemy of Dragon Alliance. You know the consequences!"

Felix remained silent, though he felt somewhat frustrated. To think a mere Martial Emperor could now act so boldly before him. Losing certain abilities really did not feel good.

Theodore pulled out a token and said, "I did not expect members of Dragon Alliance to be here, but I do have something backing me up too. Vivian, see this?"

He held up a round, uniquely designed black token with a prominent "martial" character in its center. Vivian's face paled. "The Sacred Martial Order? Impossible!" Seeing Vivian's reaction, Felix grew curious. Truthfully, he knew nothing about the martial world's politics.
