With a heavy thud, Eugene fell to his knees and said, "My lord, I apologize. I failed to complete the task."
"What?"
Dubond opened his eyes and looked at the kneeling Eugene, frowning. "Eugene, you've disappointed me. Layton is dead, and the Robert family is now defenseless. I sent you to eliminate the Robert family, but instead, you defied my orders."
As he spoke, a cold glint flashed in Dubond's eyes. He angrily added, "What use do I have for you?"
"No, my lord, please let me explain. Layton may be dead, but the Robert family has gained a new dragon clan cultivator named Trevor Penn. I don't know how, but he's now part of the Robert family. I used the talisman to conceal myself and fought him, but he instantly saw through it and forced me back with a single strike. I can't defeat him alone. However, if you allow Fred to accompany me, I think…"
Before Eugene could finish, Dubond suddenly appeared in front of him, grabbing his throat and lifting him off the ground. He coldly said, "Trevor? I've never heard that name before. Eugene, are you trying to deceive me? You didn't give it your all in this fight. You're afraid, aren't you?"
Struggling in pain, Eugene managed to gasp out two words, "Not… afraid…"
With a thud, Dubond released his grip, and Eugene collapsed to the ground. Gasping for air, Eugene's face turned pale and bloodless.
After catching his breath, Eugene quickly knelt and prostrated himself on the ground, awaiting Dubond's orders. With his back to Eugene, Dubond said, "Eugene, I'll give you one more chance. Go now and kill Trevor. Within the hour, I want you to return with his head."
