The people in Paramount scrutinized those who came from the outer district.

They detested Jacob. Even more so after finding out about the crime he had committed when he was a fugitive in Paramount.

"It's for the greater good, Governor."

The Fest family's affluent background enabled Zachary to push Gordon's boundary.

"Fine. We are desperate, and it's for the greater good.... Speaking of which, do you have any idea the liquidity value of Draco Chamber of Commerce?

"According to our intel, the assets are beyond ten billion."

"Ten billion... If that is the case, you may contact Jacob to enquire the possibility of an alliance."

Although Gordon abhorred Jacob, this time he had no choice but to compromise, for his supremacy in Paramount that was at stake.

He could turn a blind eye to The Scarlet Dragons' expansion in Paramount if Jacob was willing to help him through this exorbitant ordeal.

Zachary excused himself after consenting with Gordon.

...

During the afternoon. At the entrance of The Pavillion.

"Stop right there and report yourself!"

The security guard on duty hollered when he noticed a middle-aged man walking toward the entrance.

"I'm here to see Jacob Lynch."






























"Our big boss, Mr. Lynch? Who are you?!"

Zachary darted a casual glance at the guard and activated an aura blast.

Poof…

The guard didn't have time to react to the sudden attack. He spat out a mouthful of blood from sustaining an internal injury.

"Code red! We are under attack!"

The other guard triggered the alarm as soon as he saw his colleague being assaulted by an intruder.

The entire of The Pavillion was on high alert. Flocks of Dragon Guardians stormed out from the building and mustered at the entrance.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass on The Scarlet Dragons' territory!?"

Nico lined up the defense and reprimanded coldly as he emerged before the Dragon Guardians.

"The Scarlet Dragons' territory? This place is under the jurisdiction and governing of Central Federation, a territory of the Governor of Paramount!"

Zachary sneered coldly.

"Don't blame me since you're here to find trouble!"
