After a long silence, Sheldon sighed deeply and turned to the man beside him–Kurtis.

“So, he has finally arrived.

“As expected the missing son of the Young I ord Dragon is still alive 16:58 Mon, 10 Mar Chapter 1064 Sheldon Rivers Finished “I was right all along. Twenty years ago, there was only one possible explanation for his disappearance- Shadow took the Young Lord Dragon’s son.

“Shadow has raised him into an unparalleled killing machine for two decades.

“Dragon Manor’s secret guard, Shadow, is clusive. We’ve been tracking him for years without success. It seems there will be no escape from this impending catastrophe.

“Kurtis, the Rivers family is facing an unprecedented crisis. Bastien will not walk away from this unscathed. You must make a decision.

“Over the years, you have contributed greatly to the Rivers family. My advice to you is to take Bastien and leave. Otherwise…”

Kurtis immediately understood the unspoken warning.

“Mr. Rivers, my life belongs to you. My son’s destiny is also tied to the Rivers. This battle cannot be avoided!

“Even if it means.death, as the number one warrior of Sakurania, it is his duty and honor to fight!”

Sheldon’s eldest son, Cooper Rivers, spoke gravely, “Kurtis, Drakebane’s skills are far beyond Bastien’s capabilities. He has no chance of survival.”

Kurtis nodded. “I know. And I also know that I will be his next target.

“Ever since the Dragon Manor’s surveillance records were stolen, I knew this day would come.

“Mr. Rivers, Drakebane seeks revenge for his mother.

“I was the one who took her life. I cannot run from this. Even in death, I must face him in battle. That is the way of warrior!

“I have decided–Bastien will take the first fight. In the second battle, Drakebane will challenge me.

“These two battles will buy you time to prepare. Give the order, Mr. Rivers.”

Sheldon nodded. “Very well. Let Bastien respond and accept Drakebane’s challenge!

“I will immediately summon Juan to discuss our countermeasures against Divine Drakebane.”
