Chapter - 3230

Draco muttered under his breath, "That old man, always opposing me in life, and even in death, he won't let me have the upper hand. Hmph, once I'm back at my peak state, I'll definitely come back and give you a good thrashing."

He added, "By the way, what worries me the most is your mother. Back then, when your grandfather wanted to kill me, it was your mother who risked her life to help me escape. Your grandfather surely wouldn't have let your mother off easily."

Bianca retorted, "Hmph, you don't need to worry about my family's affairs. If you have any shred of decency left, you'd let me go right now."

Draco replied, "I'd like to let you go too, but the thing is, this young man might not agree."

"Didn't you just say that you could retaliate against him at any time?"

Draco awkwardly said, "Um... I was just joking with you. Let me try to plead with the young Zeke, let my daughter go. It shouldn't be man a problem, right?"

Zeke said, "Of course, no problem."

Draco was somewhat surprised. "I didn't expect you would do that for my sake."

Zeke said, "I can let her go, but not now."

Draco responded, "I knew it. You're not as kind-hearted as you seem. Out with it, what are your terms?"

Zeke said, "My current situation is not good. I need every bit of strength to bolster me. Therefore, she must stay by my side to protect me."

Draco said, "Young man, you can tell too. My daughter is only in the early stages of the Sun and Moon Class. Her actual combat strength might not even match the peak of the Celestial Class. She wouldn't be much help by your side and might even hold you back."

Zeke said, "Of course, I know her combat skills are weak, but her grandfather is incredibly powerful. He's the head of the Dragon Race. Even if he's not in the Eternal Class, he's almost capable of contending with it, right? At a critical moment, if I use her as leverage against her grandfather to support me, could I possibly turn the tide?"

Draco did not know what to say for a moment.

"Zeke, I think you've truly lost your mind. Her grandfather is in the Eternal Class, and he's a veteran of the Eternal Class at that. You're threatening him with his own granddaughter. Isn't that a death wish? With a snap of his fingers, even a mere glance from him could reduce you to ashes! Moreover, that old man won't let me off the hook once he arrives. You're harming both me and yourself with this. What's the point?"

Zeke sighed helplessly. "Ah, don't worry. I won't do such a thing until the very last moment when a life is at stake. When the time comes, I'll summon the Dragon Race's leader. There might still be a glimmer of hope then. But if we surrender, we would only be paving our way to death."

Draco did not say anything to that.

I'm speechless.

Indeed, this time, Zeke had provoked the clan leader of the Kush Clan, a dignified Eternal Class warrior.

If caught by the opponent, Zeke would undoubtedly be doomed.

But if the Dragon Race's leader was summoned, there was a chance he might actually take action.

However, regardless of whether the Dragon Race's leader would help Zeke or not, there was only one outcome for Draco-he would be severely beaten by the Dragon Race's leader.

He stole someone's daughter all those years ago, after all.

Draco felt a hint of regret in his heart at the moment. He shouldn't have messed with his daughter back then.

Before they knew it, the group had reached the exit.

Edurne said, "We are about to leave this cave. The ancient archaeological site is just outside. There are many dangers near the ancient archaeological site. Everyone must be extremely cautious."

Everyone agreed and nodded.

Edurne said, "Good, everyone stay close behind me!"

Everyone proceeded with caution.

The moment Edurne barely poked her head out of the cave, Zeke immediately sensed danger.

Moreover, this sense of danger was extremely intense. If I don't take action, Edurne might lose her life!

Almost instinctively, Zeke pulled Edurne toward him. "Be careful!"

Edurne had just been pulled by Zeke when a black object flashed across the space above her head.
