“Sir, you can’t go!”
“F*ck off!” Nathan kicked the bodyguard blocking his path aside.

Outside, Ashton witnessed the scene and quickly stepped up to stand beside Nathan, both prepared to force their way through the guards.
The confrontation was moments away from turning physical. Neither side would go all out, but the sight of it still made their older sisters‘ hearts ache.
“Veronica, let Nathan take the lead this time. He is the future of our family.”
“That’s right. I support Nathan as well!”
“A true citizen takes responsibility for their country. Nathan’s words truly moved me!”
“He’s finally grown into a real man!”
One by one, Nathan’s sisters spoke up, urging Veronica to give in.
Veronica let out a long sigh. “Since you all feel this way, then we’ll risk everything this time.”
She had always wanted to fight alongside her brother, but this family was not hers alone to decide for. Now that Nathan had taken the lead, and all her sisters had thrown their support behind him, the family could stand united–no more hesitations, no more doubts.
“Finally!” Nathan shouted in excitement as his second sister finally relented. “Then hear me now! Everyone in the Chapman family, grab whatever weapons you can and come with me–we are defending Congress!”
“Let’s go!” Audrey was the first to respond, rallying behind her brother.
One by one, the others followed. Men, women, young, and old–the entire Chapman family mobilized.
The sight of it deeply moved Ashton. This was a battle that would decide the fate of Chanaea, and she was honored to stand alongside them.
Meanwhile, Hattie and Blake hadn’t gone to meet up with the Chapmans. Instead, following the silent message in Magnus‘ eyes, they arrived at the grand estate where Emmanuel had previously stayed.
There, they found Xylie.
Just as Magnus had predicted, the Two Saints of Silver Dragon and Savage Tiger were indeed here, recovering from their injuries. Their caretaker was none other than Xylie.
The two old men had failed to catch the masked figure they had been chasing. So, their first instinct was to come check on Jane’s daughter.
As they sat with Xylie, they couldn’t help but be struck by how much she resembled her mother–not just in appearance, but in demeanor.

Like Jane, Xylie possessed a delicate, almost fragile aura that effortlessly stirred a man’s protective instincts. But beyond that, she carried an undeniable femininity–gentle, nurturing, and deeply caring.
The two old masters had never won Jane’s heart, but now, they sought solace in her daughter’s presence, allowing her to care for them as they recovered from their wounds.
Hattic, led by Xylie, burst into the room where the two legendary warriors were resting.
“You’ve got to be kidding me! Do you two old men really have the luxury of lying around playing dead at a time like this?”
Blake had never been one to hold his tongue. With chaps raging outside, the Two Saints of Silver Dragon and Savage Tiger were lounging here, enjoying their downtime. It was impossible for him not to voice his frustration.
Yorick immediately frowned.
Blake instinctively stepped back. Even though Yorick was his elder brother, if he got serious, Blake wouldn’t stand a chance.
“Haha, what’s going on?”
Unlike Yorick, Santiago was more easygoing. Though he had spent the past two days recovering from his wounds, he had a good sense of what was happening outside. Now, he wanted to hear the full story.
“Masters, Emmanuel, all of us, and Chanaea itself need your help!” Hattie was direct and composed as she pleaded, “Emmanuel is leading Wolf Warrior against an army of a hundred thousand outside Zovince!
“Meanwhile, Ezra Zelinsky and Gautier Verkade are attempting to seize Congress through treason. If they succeed, they will overthrow the entire Chanaean government. Right now, the only ones who can stop them are the two of you!”
She even called out her father’s name directly–because she had nothing but hatred left for the Zelinsky family.
Santiago exchanged a glance with Yorick.
“Why should we bother?” Yorick spoke up, his voice as cold as ever. “Especially me. I hold nothing but hatred for Chanaea and Artemis Barton’s faction.”
Xylie trembled slightly at his words.
“Lord Dotson, stop pretending,” Hattie interjected, her voice urgent. “If you truly resented Artemis Barton’s faction, you wouldn’t have spared Ethan Hale back at Divine Mountain, The ones you hate are the people who framed you–the very same people working with Ezra! Don’t you see?”
She wasn’t privy to the full details, but her deduction was close enough. Even if Ezra hadn’t orchestrated the whole thing, he was undoubtedly involved.
“I simply didn’t have the chance yet.” Yorick remained indifferent.
“Oh, come on, Yorick! Drop the act! It’s painful to watch” Blake finally stepped forward again, unable to hold back. “We may not talk much, but you’re still my brother. We share the same blood. If I were in your position, I could never serve the Shoiyan! I know your heart was always here. Now that you’re back in Chanaea, fight for it once more–just like you did on the Tocvale battlefield!”

His words struck a nerve. Even Santiago squinted and smiled, reminiscing about the days when the Dragon, the Tiger, and the Phoenix fought side by side in their youth. If Yorick took action, Santiago would undoubtedly take up his silver spear once more and fight for Chanaea.
“Mr. Dotson, Mr. Santiago, please, help us defend Congress!”
Xylie wasn’t one for cloquent speeches. She could only plead with sincerity.
But that was all it took.
Yorick rose to his feet.
At that moment, Simba, as if sensing his master’s call, suddenly leaped to the doorway, startling Xylie.
“Santiago, what are you waiting for?” Yorick vaulted onto Simba’s back and grinned challengingly. “We never settled our duel at Divine Mountain. Let’s see who takes down more enemies this time!”
Without another word, he spurred the tiger forward and disappeared into the night.
“You think I’m scared of you, you yellow–striped cat?! Haha…” Santiago let out a hearty laugh, twirled his silver spear, and mounted his steed.
As the two warriors stormed off, Xylie stood frozen, stunned. Are they really my mother’s suitors? She’s really something else!

“Ugh, I talk my mouth off, and one beauty says a single sentence, and that’s what convinces them?” Blake scoffed but quickly caught himself.
Something felt off.
Hattie was a renowned beauty–one of the Four Beauties of Zovince, no less. When she had traveled to Yeringham, Xylie had still been an unknown girl hiding in the shadows.
Realizing he was digging himself into a hole, Blake coughed awkwardly and quickly changed the subject. “Ahem… I should go help, too! It’s my turn to be a hero!
With that, he bolted before he could say anything else embarrassing.
Hattie finally breathed a sigh of relief. With the Two Saints of Silver Dragon and Savage Tiger in action, they were worth more than an army of thousands. She turned to Xylie, taking her hands with a warm smile. “Thank you, Ms. Tanner. If Chanaea’s order is restored, you will have played a crucial role.”
“M–Me? What does this have to do with me?” Xylie’s face turned crimson.
She and Yuna were complete opposites. Yuna thrived on attention and recognition, while Xylie to stay out of the spotlight.

Meanwhile, at Congress, Gautier led the Grand Hunt Alliance, launching a full–scale frontal assault.
At the same time, Gwain needed no persuasion from Magnus. The moment he heard that war had erupted, he led the Lannister family’s elite fighters straight to Congress‘ back entrance.
His father’s words still echoed in his ears–the Lannisters must seek not only prestige but also real power.
