The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 7054
Dorvus and several Emperors strode toward Youcef the next instant.
However, before they could reach him, Youcef directed a beam of colorful light at those men and sent them flying away.
"Enough!" Youcef’s voice reverberated through the space. Everyone halted at that moment.
"I am the chief commander of today's operations." Youcef bellowed, "All of you are to follow my commands. As I've mentioned, no one is allowed to interfere in the battle between me and James Caden.
"Those who do will be executed immediately!"
Youcef raised his hand and grabbed at the air. In the distance, Dorvus was simultaneously lifted in the air by a mysterious energy. "You! You challenged my authority over and over again. Die!"
He cast a lethal blast in Dorvus' direction, but a ball of purple light came quickly from his left just then. It snatched Dorvus away and moved out of the trajectory of Youcefs attack.
Youcef stared at Hankin, who stood to his left, with bulging eyes.
He never imagined his master, whom he had the utmost respect and admiration for, would someday do something similar to what his cunning and shameless father would do.
Youcef could not tell anymore if Hankin had changed or if he had always been pretending to be someone graceful and virtuous.

"Young Master, have you forgotten about what your father has entrusted you to do?" Hankin knitted his brows.
Youcefs expression hardened.
Hankin’s final remark was both a reminder and a subtle threat.
With that, Youcef finally realized what kind of man Hankin was. His kind and upright demeanor was all a facade.
That still did not make things any easier for Youcef. He still had to choose between resurrecting his mother and fighting James or following his principles and giving up reuniting with his mother.
Whichever decision Youcef ended up making would make him suffer equal levels of guilt and agony anyhow.
While Youcef was distracted for a split second, several God-Kings managed to surround and subdue him.
Then, he was dragged to where the Marauder Army was. A group of their men was tasked to watch over him.
James observed everything that was happening from where he stood.
While he felt sorry for Youcef, James also seemed to have gotten a full grasp of the situation.
"James Caden.” Hankin turned around and pointed to James. "You have two options. Firstly, exit the Gate of Mystery right now. We'll forget all this has happened.
"If you won't, we'll kill you right here. You will lose the chance to be reborn again forever."
Morgott grumbled, "What a load of bullshit..."
James waved his hand dismissively and signaled Morgott to stop.
Then, he took two steps forward and looked at Hankin. "Alright, it's about time you guys are done with the act.
"You should get serious and come at me all at once. My patience is about
to wear out."
James showed no fear as he said all that.
He also made it very clear that he had no intention of negotiating with these people.
