Seth suddenly redirected the conversation, his gaze moving between the Iron Dragon and the others.

Aria and Victor immediately felt their stomachs drop. They had assumed Seth and Tyson were only here to visit, never imagining Evan would be brought up.

Victor cursed them silently. “They’re doing this on purpose. They’ve definitely known about Mr. Norwood for while. Dragon’s Breath and Sky Titan are already at a stalemate–if these two jump into the mix now…‘

As the realization settled in, both he and Aria stiffened visibly.

But the Iron Dragon had no such concerns. If anything, he was eager to retell how he had clawed his way back from death’s door.

“You mean Evan? You must’ve heard something by now. I was already halfway to the underworld, but that kid dragged me back alive! Tell me that isn’t a miracle! Hahaha!”

Seth and Tyson stared at him, eyes wide, completely shocked and undeniably intrigued. After all, they were talking about bringing someone back from the dead. It was unheard of. None of them had ever ever ee of such a thing happening anywhere in the world.

“So, where is this Dr. Evan now?” Tyson asked.

The Iron Dragon was just about to answer when the door swung open, and one of his men rushed in, breathless.” Iron Dragon, we’ve got trouble! Latest intel just came in–foreign assassins have entered Silverton, and their target is Evan Norwood!”

The Iron Dragon’s expression drained of color. “That’s bad. Evan’s in danger!”

“They’re here for Mr. Norwood? What do you mean?” Aria, Victor, Tyson, and Seth all turned pale.

“They intend to kill him!”

The entire room froze at once. Even Sylvie, standing beside the Iron Dragon, went white as a sheet, her eyes brimming with panic.

The Iron Dragon immediately understood the enemy’s strategy. “They must’ve realized that after failing once, killing me again won’t be easy. So they’re targeting Evan, the one who saved me. If he dies, there’ll be no one left who can treat me. In the end, I’ll die anyway.”

A crushing silence followed as the weight of the situation settled on everyone.

Victor stepped forward at once. “I’ll go get Mr. Norwood. Find out where he is. Now!”

“He was treating Ivana today,” the Iron Dragon said urgently. “Her residence is on the outskirts. Aria, Victor- get to my daughter’s place immediately!”

“We’re coming too,” Tyson and Seth said in unison.

Victor frowned. “Why are you two going to do?”

Tyson flashed a predatory grin. “To save Mr. Norwood, of course. Didn’t we just say it? He’s the Seven Dragon Units‘ benefactor. And now some bastards dare touch our savior right in our territory? They must think we’re already dead.”

“A talent like Dr. Evan is rare,” Seth added calmly. “We won’t let him die while we’re breathing.”
