The Almighty Dragon General

“Get up." James nodded at them.
Jacopo and Xainte exchanged glances before standing up politely.
Watching his two children achieve what they had today, and witnessing their growth and abilities, James felt immensely gratified.
Truthfully, he had always carried a sense of guilt towards his children. He felt like he owed them too much, fearing they might stray down the wrong path.
Now, he felt reassured seeing how well they had turned out under his lenient upbringing, and the surprises they had provided him with.
Surviving this calamity, he had his own plans for the children upon returning to the Genesis World.
Looking at them, James smiled and said, "Your master has returned to Zymurgy and entrusted me to teach you. Are you willing?"
Jacopo and Xainte looked astonished.

"Is Zymurgy a place?" Xainte asked hastily. "Can we see that old man again?"
Glancing at James, Jacopo hurriedly tugged on Xainte. "Mind your manners."
Xainte quickly covered her mouth with her hand, her beautiful eyes shining with silence.
"No worries," James chuckled. "Respecting one's teacher and valuing etiquette are fundamental to being human. We're all humans and should emphasize this point."
"Thank you, senior." Jacopo bowed again. "Since our master entrusted you with us, it's the providence and boon he left for us, but..."
"What?" James asked.
"The current Genesis World may not accommodate us." Jacopo looked seriously at James. "Senior, it might bring you a lot of trouble if you get involved."
"How much trouble could there be?" James said lightly. "The Genesis World is just a group of ants."
"The key is that we bear the grudge of patricide and matricide, an irreconcilable enmity," Xainte exclaimed angrily. "Our adversary is Tai Chi, the supreme being. Senior, aren't you afraid?"
"Tai Chi?" James' lips curled into a cold smile. "Aren't you afraid?"
"We have no reason to fear, nor should we." Jacopo stared at James with solemnity. "She killed our parents, drove her lackeys to kill so many of our siblings, treating living beings of the Dark World as slaves. This grudge is irreconcilable.
“Our parents fought Tai Chi for countless entropochs. Even though they fell, as their children, we should carry on their legacy and continue to forge ahead, even unto death without regret."
