The atmosphere in the conference room turned suddenly tense.
+8 Pearls.
Zayden and Trix instinctively pursed their lips. Their faces twisted with arrogance and disdain as they looked at Robin.
Robin sat silently at the table, his expression unreadable. His fingers drummed rhythmically on the tabletop.
Jethro's face darkened further.
Taking a deep breath, he tried to suppress his anger and asked, "Mr. Mickton, what were you doing when you were 20?"
Anton shrugged, his voice dripping with pride. "When I was 20, I was already chosen by the Dragon Lord and brought into the Dragon Palace as a senior technical advisor."
Jethro's response was flat. "At that age, Dragon Lord must have thought highly of you. Did he also look down on the youth, like you do now?"
"Dragon Lord valued me," Anton sneered. "It's because I'm exceptionally talented.
"Back then, among millions of scholars, Dragon Lord chose me. It proves I'm the brightest star in a sea of people. I'm a genius.
"Do you really think the Commander you've chosen for this tournament compares to me?"
Jethro's expression grew grim and he asked coldly, "If you're so talented, then how do you measure up in front of Dragon Lord and Young Lord Dragon?"
Anton's eyes flickered with a hint of awe.
"Although I'm a genius, I admit I still fall far short compared with them."
Jethro shook his head and said, "Mr. Mickton, Dragon Lord nurtured you, but you never learned humility or respect."
Anton chuckled. "Humility is for the weak. I don't need to learn it."
Jethro shook his head and said, "Fine. You probably left the Dragon Palace too early, which is why you're so arrogant. Maybe you've been with the Thalrex Order for too long and have grown too bold.
!
"Anton, considering your background from the Dragon Palace, I want to advise you-only ignorance breeds arrogance.
"There's always something that can't be imagined, but nothing is impossible.
"Don't think that just because you're in some so-called mysterious organization, you're the most powerful person in the world.
"Let me tell you, there are people out there a hundred mes stronger than you!
"You walked in here, constantly provoking us and showing no intention of equal coopération!

"You represent the Thalrex Order in these Summit Meetings, yet you behave so rudely?

"Anton, if you keep this uncooperative attitude, I will report you to the higher-ups at the Thalrex Order and have them replace you.
"I can't stand your lack of manners!"
Jethro's anger made Anton momentarily fall into panic
This was his first tinte representing the organization in collaboration with the military liaison division.
He understood the
message.
If Jethro did indeed report him to the higher-ups, he could lose his opportunity to attend the Summit Meeting. After a long, uncomfortable silence, Anton softened his tone just slightly.
"General Quintana, I understand how you feel right now. But please, try to see things from my perspective.
"The Thalrex Order is one of the leading members of the tournament and we ranked first.
"This means that, regardless of the outcome of the tournament, I will bear the primary responsibility.
"If we fail to complete the task assigned by our superiors, it is the Thalrex Order that will face the most severe punishment, not your liaison department.
"To secure a place at the top-tier small meeting in this Summit and to take responsibility for the tournament's outcome, I must be strict with the team you've provided. "I'm not trying to make things difficult for you.
"But putting a young man with no accomplishments as the Commander-in-Chief of this tournament- don't you think that's a bit reckless?
"His credentials are too shallow, and having him participate in a Summit Meeting with people of our status is, frankly, a joke.
"Because of this, I seriously doubt his ability."
Jethro fell silent, unsure how to respond to Anton's arrogance.
"Mr. Mickton, you want to see our strength with your own eyes?" he asked.
Anton exchanged a look with Zayden, a sneer crossing his face.
"Of course, General Quintana. How can we trust the results of this tournament if we haven't seen the strength of the team?"
A complicated look flashed in Jethro's eyes and he asked, "So, what would you consider seeing our strength?"
Anton leaned back in his chair, exuding condescension

"General Quintana, the military officer beside me is 25 years old and a Level 3 Warrior of the Thalrex Order.
"His combat abilities are the lowest tier in our organization.
"But that doesn't mean he's weaker than the top warriors out there.
"Warriors like Zayden are selected from the strongest fighters in Draconia by the Thalrex Order.
"Perhaps youre not familiar with how we select warriors for our organization.
"I can reveal a bit to you.
"Anyone who becomes a military officer in the Thalrex Order must be a champion of their respectivenoveldrama
team.
"These champions fight through numerous trials to emerge as the best among the best before they can join our ranks.
"And it doesn't stop there.
"The most elite warriors selected must defeat the strongest opponents in the country before they can become part of the Thalrex Order's elite guard.
"To put it bluntly, Zayden once defeated Wilson and Gavin in less than 20 moves.
"These two generals, regarded as military gods in your army, were defeated effortlessly by him.
"And what about him?" Anton sneered, pointing smugly at Robin.
"If this Commander-in-Chief has the ability, then let him last 30 moves without being knocked down by Zayden. Only then will I reluctantly admit he has some strength. "Commander-in-Chief Ramsey, do you believe you can last 30 moves against Zayden?"
Jethro frowned and said, "Mr. Mickton, are you going to prove your ignorance like this?"
Anton wasn't upset with the question, he simply smiled faintly. "I just want to know if Commander-in-Chief Ramsey dares to try."
Robin casually picked up a pen from the table and raised an eyebrow. "Thirty moves? That's a waste of time."
Anton was stunned. "So you're saying you can't even last 30 moves? Well, how many do you think it will take?" Robin twirled the pen between his fingers. "One move is too much of a waste on him."
Anton's smile faded and his face darkened. "Commander-in-Chief Ramsey, you're too arrogant."
Zayden clenched his fists in anger and roared, "How dare you insult me?"
"Insult you? You think too highly of yourself!" Robin raised an eyebrow, casually tossing the pen onto the table.

Snap! The pen broke in two.
At that moment, Zayden's face went pale, his entire body shaking.
Thud! He collapsed to the ground.
"You... what did you do to me?" Zayden gasped, clutching his chest and pointing at Robin.
Anton had no idea what had happened. "Zayden, w-what's wrong with you?"

Trix rushed to help him, but Zayden was trembling, his face in shock, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth. Jethro understood what had happened.
He shook his head in disdain and said, "A frog in a well knows nothing of the ocean. You can't see the forest for the trees." Jethro had heard of Robin's most deadly ability-musical assassination.
By manipulating sound;, Robin could synchronize a target's heartbeat with the rhythm and kill them.
If Zayden had been an enemy, he would be dead right now.
Robin pointed at Zayden and asked, "So this is your Thalrex Order's top warrior? Pathetic."
Anton stood up, enraged, and shouted at Robin, "What kind of dark magic did you use?"
Robin's face turned cold. "You're just a frog in a well! Are you here to negotiate or start trouble? If we're not talking, then leave!
"A bunch of ignorant, arrogant fools. No wonder your team always ends up at the bottom of the
tournaments.
"You lose because of garbage like you!
"You act tough with your people, but outside, you're all weaklings.
"With a team like this, of course, you'll lose.
"I won't work with you-what a bunch of useless teammates!"
With that, he stood up abruptly, ready to leaye.
