The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 6542
As James's words reverberated, the three leaders exchanged glances and stumbled a few steps backward, visibly shaken and overcome with frustration.
The realization dawned on them. They had fallen into a trap. The young man standing before them held the reins of destiny over them.
Standing before such a powerful man, they could not muster the courage to challenge him.
Seeing the embarrassed looks on the three leaders, Princess Lumia stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Forty..."
James interrupted her, saying, "Hush. Call me Biefren."
Princess Lumia was startled, but quickly understood his intentions and said, "They haven't grasped the full extent of the situation yet, Sir Biefren. Please refrain from further humiliating them..."
James scoffed. "Am I humiliating them? I'm merely helping them face the gravity of the situation.

He looked at the three leaders and said, "You could live with your head raised high, but choose to kneel before someone else. You three are too old, and aren't capable of upholding your respective force's honor."
The three leaders raised their heads with horror.
"You're trying to take the Bellerian Dynasty?" Tace looked at James with widened eyes.
Xantoni shouted, "Tempestara’s legacy was created by our ancestors! I won't let you take it from us!" "I can’t care less about your identity! If you intend to seize the Jercente
Sect, you’ll have to get through our tens of billions of members!" Lamuel retorted through gritted teeth, his voice rising in defiance.
"Do your forces still have anything left?" James was amused by their seething fury.
He continued, his tone laced with disdain. 'The moment the Genesis Worlds was destroyed, so were your forces. On the surface, you've submitted to the New Alliance. However, you're merely begging them to let you live, allowing the billions of disciples under you to cower in fear.
"You do whatever Yaquis tells you to, even to become sacrifices for his cause."
James' scathing remarks echoed, and the three leaders closed their eyes and lowered their heads in resignation and despair.
They were furious about their unfair fate, with how their prestigious forces ended up so tragically.
Their forces were under the New Alliance's control and were pawns to their schemes. Their members had to risk their lives on the battlefield and gain nothing in return.
They had enough of living under such oppression, but could not believe anything would change after siding with the young man.
