Rufus smiled indifferently. “We poisoned Julius. If he wants to live, he needs to listen to us.”
“What if he has a way to treat the poison?” Eloise asked. Rufus shook his head and smiled. “It doesn’t matter if he can neutralize the poison. Julius is a smart person. He knows that working with Reagan is like partnering with a lion.
“Julius could act confidently before as he had some influence. However, he has absolutely nothing now. He’s not on equal footing with Reagan at all. Once Julius loses his value, Reagan will not spare him.
“We’re different, though. Julius is from the Rhys family and is a blood relative to me. I can still spare his life even if he betrayed us.
“If he performs well and manages to redeem himself through his mission, we can offer him a life of prosperity. What do you think he would choose?”
“Your Highness, you’re right. However, it’s difficult to tell what he is thinking. What if Julius refuses the opportunity and insists on going down the wrong path? What should we do?” Eloise asked.
“If that’s the case, Julius is just seeking for death,” Rufus replied indifferently.
“I don’t care if Julius dies or not. But Austin…” Eloise was hesitant to continue.
“Don’t overthink. They’re no longer kids. They long have the ability to handle things by themselves. Exterminating Dragon Guard can be considered a test for them this time.
“If they can successfully complete it, I can entrust West Lucozia to them with confidence.” Rufus smiled.
His two sons were not ordinary individuals. Although they were young, they were way more capable than him when he was their age. They would surely become outstanding figures with some training.
“Don’t look so solemn. I’ve already called Albert over. If anything happens, he will make sure they’re safe,” Rufus consoled.
“So you’ve already prepared in advance.
“Eloise let out a sigh of relief.
“They’re my sons. There’s no way I wouldn’t be concerned about them. However, I hope they can take on more responsibility.
“That’s why Albert wouldn’t help them unless it’s a life-and-death situation. It’s all up to them whether they succeed,” Rufus said.
“What a good strategy. It seems like I’ve been worrying too much.” Eloise nodded. Eloise didn’t care if they could exterminate Dragon Guard. She only wished for her son’s safety. That was all she hoped for.
In a villager’s house located at Bronx Mountain Range, Dustin sat and closed his eyes. He was patiently waiting for the outcome of the investigation.
After a long time, the door suddenly swung open.
Austin and the top grade spy rushed inside.
After Austin came inside, he sat down and took out a map. Then, he started to explain. “Our spies did a comprehensive research along this region. Finally, we discovered something unusual in a quite dangerous location. Here!”
Austin pointed to the middle of the map with his index finger. Then, he continued, “This is a massive valley with entrances at both ends.
“The entrance at the front is in our territory, while the back entrance is at the border of our enemy nation. This valley spans two countries.
“Of course, this isn’t the main point. The most important part is that our spies found a tall and thick wall at the entrance of the valley.
“There were also many firearms on top of it. It’s similar to a fortress in times of war from it looks. If I’m not mistaken, this should be the secret base of Dragon Guard.
“However, due to the number of Dragon Guard spies around it, our spies didn’t dare to get close. They hurried back to report to us after confirming its location.”
After hearing that, Dustin nodded.” Good job. We finally found where their base is.”
“Although we found where their base is, its location makes it easy for them to defend and hard for us to attack. It’s going to be challenging to capture all of them.
“Most importantly, we don’t know what it’s like behind the wall. How many troops does Dragon Guard have? If we recklessly attack, we might face heavy losses!” Austin explained seriously.
