CHAPTER 447 THE NORTHERNLAND CONFERENCE

The badge in Reece's hand was all blood red, as if it had been soaked in blood before. Besides, there

was a mighty and bloodthirsty flying dragon carved on it.

Leo couldn’t be more familiar with the badge, because it was his Dragonlord Badge.

"What’s that?" Lydia and Michelle looked curiously at the badge, wondering what it was.

Reece replied proudly, "It’s normal for people outside the Newman family not to recognize it. This is the

new Dragonlord’s badge used for commanding the border soldiers. It represents Dragonlord himself.

Except for Dragonlord of Northernland, the lords of Westernland, Easternland and Southernland can

take military action with the badge!"

Lydia turned pale upon hearing Reece. Now she realized what was going on here. Anyone with the This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Dragonlord Badge was able to deploy forces. Just as Reece said, the Dragonlord Badge was indeed

the representation of supreme power.

Music Maestro couldn’t help but cast a look at Leo before she asked in a grim voice, "Why do you have

the Dragonlord Badge?"

Reece burst into laughter. "That’s something you shouldn’t know, but it doesn’t matter if I tell you about

it."

As far as Reece was concerned, they weren’t important figures in the army and wouldn’t understand it

even if he told them the truth.

"You guys don’t know that Dragonlord, who is supposed to defend Northernland, left the army and

came back home to get married, and now no one is guarding Northernland, I assume? But

Northernland can’t be left unattended, even for one day. Therefore, the lords of Easternland,

Westernland and Southernland discussed it and decided to hold the Northernland Conference in

Hopkins to select someone strong from the masses to defend Northernland."

"Does it have anything to do with you?" Music Maestro asked coldly as she shot a glance at Leo

carefully.

However, the four lords weren’t of a mind. The other three lords felt bitter about Dragonlord of

Northernland beating them all, and the Northernland Conference was held to make Dragonlord a mere

figurehead.

Leo, nevertheless, couldn’t care less about it. He even gave a contemptuous smile.

Reece laughed and replied, "It’s been years since you left home, so it’s normal for you not to know it.

Grandfather has known Cassius, the lord of Westernland, for a long time. Grandfather pleaded him and

Cassius agreed to help the Newman family take in strong fighters across the country to attend the

Northernland Conference on behalf of the Newman family, so that our family will become a national

family, no matter who wins in the end, and that explains why I am here. I’m here to look for strong

fighters for the Newman family. It’s just that I happened to be in Emerdale when I heard you were

giving a concert, so I came to attend it."

Everyone but Leo got tense as they heard what Reece said.

Music Maestro, however, snapped, "The Dragonlord Badge is used for defending out country, not for

satisfying your own needs."

Reece said slowly, "That is the truth, but don’t push me too far, or you’ll regret it." He paused and

crooked his finger at Music Maestro. "Now, come to me. Maybe I’ll consider letting them go."

Unmoved, Music Maestro turned to Leo despite herself.

Lydia’s face also grew solemn. "What should we do now…"

Leo, nonetheless, remained collected from the beginning. He poured calmly a cup of tea for himself,

took a sip and said, "The Northernland Conference is nothing but a gathering of a bunch of clowns

entertaining themselves. Go back and tell Cassius that there’s no point in doing so."

Leo could imagine what the Northernland Conference would be like. To him, it was nothing serious, but

it would definitely affect the future setup of Hopkins.

Some families would prosper, while others would fall overnight, which was why royal families in

Valenham wouldn’t hold such conference in Valenham, because no one wanted to suffer loss. Even if

the winners received high returns, there were a lot of risks as too.

Stunned for some time, Reece finally roared angrily, "How dare you call the lord of Westernland by his

first name!"

Leo broke into laughter. "But if you must entertain yourself, it’s quite understandable. After all, they’re

filled with resentment."

Not only Reece was stupefied by Leo’s words, but Lydia was also staring blankly at him.

Leo spoke as if he was Dragonlord of Northernland.

The next moment, Reece replied in disdain, "Cut the crap. Anyways, Music Maestro won’t go anywhere

but leave with me today. Besides, you’ve also committed a major crime by killing my men."

"Is that so?" Leo smiled faintly. "In this case, go get help. I wonder who you can get."

"Leo!" Lydia tugged at Leo’s sleeve to stop him. If Reece really called up forces, her identity as the lady

of the royal family in Valenham would be to no avail.

Reece was also surprised to hear what Leo said. Originally, he thought that Leo would be intimidated

by the Dragonlord Badge, but unexpectedly, he didn’t buy it at all.

"Fine. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!" Reece snarled, glaring at Leo.

"Go ahead," Leo said lightly, as if he didn’t take it seriously at all.

"I’m calling them up now!" Reece growled.

"Go ahead." Leo was amused by Reece. "Are you going to chicken out?"

The Dragonlord Badge could bring greatest benefit only under used by the right person.

"Fuck!" Reece went out of the room immediately and made a call.

In fact, it was the first time he had ever used the Dragonlord Badge.

Soon, the call was answered, and a low male voice came from the other end of the line, "Who’s that?"

"Is that the commander of Emerdale Military Region, Commander Rickard?" Reece explained at once,

"My name is Reece, and I come from the Newman family, the royal family in Valenham. I’ve got the

Dragonlord Badge with me, and now I’m being confronted by a stupid ass. He’s kind of dangerous. Can

you help me?"

Hans was stunned to hear that on the other end of the line. He paused for a moment before asking,

"Where are you?"

Overjoyed, Reece told Hans his address.

After that, Reece hung up the phone, went smugly back to the private box and looked gloatingly at Leo.

"You’re doomed. I’ve already asked the commander of Emerdale Military Region to come. I don’t know

why you must ignore the power of the Dragonlord Badge. You’re going to jail!"

Both Lydia and Michelle panicked upon hearing that.

"Leo, I told you not to provoke him. Now what should we do now?" Lydia grumbled, anxious.

Leo, nevertheless, gave a slight smile and comforted her, "Lydia, we’ve been together for so long, and

you still don’t believe me?"

Shocked, Lydia was lost for words for a moment.

Indeed, they had been together for a long time, and usually, Leo wouldn’t say anything he wasn’t sure

about, nor would he do anything he had no confidence in.

However, it was the Dragonlord Badge they were talking about this time…

Lydia sat down next to Leo in doubt.

Reece was still guffawing. "Cut the crap. I wonder if you’ll pee in your pants when my men come."

At this moment, a rush of footsteps came from the stairs outside the private box.

Hearing that, Reece rose to his feet with a grin.

"Haha, here they come. You guys are finished."

Bang!

The next moment, the door was flung open and a squad rushed in.
