"Anyone who passes this level will be awarded the title of Doomsday Admiral and be granted with the authority to lead Doomsday’s Tiger and Wolf Armies.¹'
When Spencer was done speaking, he looked around him only to see everyone backing away. Even the crowd had fallen silent.
Spencer frowned when no one came forward to challenge the sky barrier. His frown formed creases that were so deep that they could squash a fly.
"Where’s Cole? Where the hell is he? Summon him to take the lead in crashing the barrier." Whenever Spencer made a decision and realized that no one was responding to it, he would drag his precious son out to serve as cannon fodder.
Cole stood in the crowd with his arms folded and walked out with a sigh when he heard Spencer calling his name.
"Cole Yorks, as the young master of Yorks Stronghold, you have to take the lead in crossing the barrier. Give everyone an idea of what it’s like."
Cole said, "Aren’t you afraid that I’ll be eternally doomed once I fall into the abyss?"
Spencer's lips started twitching. He glared at him.
What nonsense! How can a nimble man like you fall into the abyss so easily?"
Cole replied, "Better safe than sorry."
"Why did I give birth to a coward like you?" Spencer hissed.
Cole rolled his eyes at Spencer and exposed his scheme. "You know better than anyone who you set u p the sky barrier for. Don't drag me out as cannon fodder just because they're chickening out at the last minute."
Both Grand Old Master Yorks and Spencer looked a little embarrassed.
Spencer asked Grand Old Master Yorks in a low voice, " What was the conclusion you and Jay came up with the other day again, Dad? Did he agree to take on the sky barrier himself?"
Grand Old Master Yorks looked awkward. "He said that his reputation in Yorks Stronghold is terrible, so even if he becomes the admiral, the Tiger and Wolf Armies may not necessarily want to follow his lead."
He then came to a sudden realization. "Oh no, Jay can't have decided to back out and give up on challenging the barrier today, can he?
Spencer said helplessly, "It's so late now and he still hasn't turned up. I don't think he wants to challenge the barrier at all."
