Chapter 574
Paul responded calmly, “It’s two against two. We’re not exactly at a disadvantage.”
“Sir Paul, I’m afraid it’s two against one. You should ask Sir Moran if he’s still willing to open this
can of worms,” Roger spoke profoundly.
“Hmm?” Paul turned to Keith and realized he seemed upset. It appeared like he had decided to back
out with his silence. Keith was able to go up against Tyler alone, but with Roger backing him, it was a
different story. After all, he wasn’t too acquainted with the Harmons. There was no need to jeopardize
his career over this.
The Harmons feel dejected by Keith’s silence. Once he backed out, it would be hard for the Harmons to
escape the situation unscathed.
“Mr. Harmon, I was indeed taken by surprise by your planning. Sadly, it isn’t enough. So, what is your

With Roger’s army, Paul alone wouldn’t be able to save the Harmons. Hector furrowed his brow, his
expression solemn. Was he to give in to the Grants?
As the situation grew increasingly dire, Trent stood up to mediate. “General Lionheart, we can discuss
this. There’s no need to escalate things this far.” The Harmons had used up their trump cards. They
could only give in if they didn’t wish to receive their wrath.
“Of course, but I have a condition,” Tyler said calmly.
Trent responded, “What condition?”
“I want this brat’s life!” Tyler exclaimed unexpectedly, pointing a finger at Dustin. A plebeian who dared
challenge the authority of the Grants should pay a price. He was going to set an example
today.
Trent froze, shifting his gaze toward Hector, who was beside him. Hector was silent. No one knew what
he was thinking.
“Tyler Grant! Don’t go too far!” Natasha finally reached her breaking point.
“You should take responsibility for your actions. You were the ones who made the decision,” Tyler said
indifferently.
“You-” Natasha’s expression grew increasingly cold.
“Seems like this Dustin guy is done for.” Zoey, who was among the crowd, sighed.
Zeke sneered. “Hmph! This is the consequence for daring to challenge General Lionheart.”
“If you think about it, he brought this upon himself.” Gordon was silently happy about it.
“Tyler Grant, I’m afraid you’re still not worthy of taking my life.” Dustin remained calm.
“What? Do you think anyone else can save you today?” Tyler uttered coldly.
As soon as he spoke, a guard rushed in anxiously. He reported, “Sir Leinonen, there’s trouble! A group
of guards have barged in!”

expression hardened. “Even if the emperor himself were here, it wouldn’t change a thing, let alone a
small group of guards! Drive them out!”
The guard’s expression turned grave. “W–we can’t. They are the viceroy’s personal guards.”
“So what if they are the viceroy’s personal guards? I-” Roger was halfway through his tirade when he
froze. His words were stuck in his throat.
The viceroy and his personal guards? It couldn’t be… The viceroy was here? Before Roger could fully
comprehend the situation, he saw someone walk through the door. It was a well–dressed, middle–aged
man. The man had a handsome face and a dignified posture. Even when he was calm, he carried an
air of authority, and every move of his was imposing.
“Lord… Lord Xenos?” Roger’s expression turned for the worst immediately at the sight of the man.
