The Almighty Dragon General

Lucille and Thea exchanged a glance after Lyla had initiated her first attack. They were both generating their Genesis Powers to
get ready for battle.
At that very moment, the door of the main hall was pushed open from inside.
James, who was wearing a black robe, stepped out of the door the next instant.
"What's with all the fuss? I was in the middle of my meditation!"
Everyone was seemingly caught off-guard by James' sudden appearance.
"Go back inside!" Lucille shouted.
Thea added, "Hurry up and focus on your meditation!"
James flashed a smile at the two of them. Then, his gaze fell on Lyla. "Elder Lyla, to what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?"
"Forty-nine!" Lyla said in a harsh voice, "Mr. Thornton has ordered for you to see him at the headquarters' main hall."
James' eyes widened. "That's wonderful news! I have never met Mr. Thornton before!"
Upon hearing those words, Lucille and Thea knitted their brows.
They had assumed James was aware that his being summoned to the headquarters would only mean trouble. Yet, it seemed like
he was oblivious to that.
"Don't stand in Elder Lyla's way!" James grinned at Lucille and Thea. "Mr. Thornton probably has an important task for me.
Besides, I have something to report to him as well."

James moved past Lucille and Thea. Then, he stopped before Lyla.
"Take me with you, Elder Lyla!"
James' willingness to cooperate came as a shock to Lucille and Thea. Even Lyla had a look of confusion in her eyes.
"Wait for me in the main hall." James looked over his shoulder and said, "I'll be back with a big surprise!"
Before anyone could react, James grabbed Lyla's wrist and teleported away.
"He's lost his mind!" Lucille stamped her foot. She grumbled, "Does Forty-nine have a loose screw in his head? Going to the
headquarters would only mean trouble!"
Thea said anxiously, "We need to head over there right now. otherwise, he might be in danger!"
Then, Thea stepped onto a huge white lotus, which then rose into the air and flew off.
Meanwhile, Lucille was staring at Perthacus with a piercing gaze. "Mr. Wulte, are you going to act dumb and turn a blind eye to
this again?"
Perthacus sighed wearily. "Forty-nine has committed a huge mistake this time. Mount Martialis is not powerful enough to help
him."
"He's an elder from Mount Martialis." Lucille said frigidly, "If you, our leader won't help him, who else can provide Forty-nine the
help he needs?"
Perthacus closed his eyes. "There's no use even if we go now."

"Coward." Lucille pointed at him. "If you won't go, I will! I'll take on Xachary if the situation calls for it!"
Then, Lucille teleported and vanished from the spot.
