Chapter 1 The Return of The Scarlet Dragon

A gentle breeze rustled the leaves of a cypress tree in Silversand Cemetery which was on the outskirts of the West Side of Paramount.

There, a tall male figure stood silently before a tombstone, as still as a statue.

‘Here lies Naeve Warren, beloved daughter of Norman Warren.’

The man was Jacob Lynch. He looked at the smiling woman in the black and white photo on the tombstone. His handsome face was marred with endless sorrow and regret.

“Naeve, I’m back! Why didn’t you wait for me?”

His eyes welled up with tears as he recalled a past memory. He remembered a beautiful girl saying to him timidly, “Don’t cry. You need to stay strong…”

Six years ago, Jacob stabbed a government official at a banquet to protect his girlfriend. The aftermath forced him to escape to the outland. On the other hand, Naeve remained in Paramount which was the Central Federation’s capital in Avalon. Jacob thought she would be fine due to her family’s status. He did not expect to return to find her dead.

While on the run, Jacob saved an old man who gave him a book called Secret Records of the War Deity before he died.

Jacob struggled to survive in the outland in the six years he was away, hoping to return home one day. He had trained in the most powerful techniques and challenged the strongest enemies.

Now, he returned to Central District with a body full of scars but with unparalleled power.

At this moment, Jacob kneeled before the tombstone in grief. However, his tone sounded murderous as he asked, “How did my girlfriend die?”

After he spoke, a two-meter-tall muscular man stepped out from the shadow of the cypress tree and said, “Sir, according to the investigation by the Shadow Squad, Miss Warren died of birth complications.”

“Birth complications!?” Jacob’s intimidating aura filled the surroundings.

He turned around and asked urgently, “When did it happen?”
