Everyone saw clearly what the figure looked like the moment it showed up.
He was wearing dark clothing, his head shaved in a buzz cut, his face covered with a metal mask, which gleamed with a cold , silvery light.
There was nothing unusual about him, but the man exuded power, and was much stronger than those Mysteration masters from the Hamilton family.
A shiver ran down Lydia’s back as she saw the man clearly. Now she regretted having come to the Lawson Residence alone since they had already set a trap for her to jump in.
Nadine heaved a sigh of relief as she saw Leo was all right, but the look on her face became solemn the moment she heard what he said.
"Did you say he comes from Westernland, my lord?"
"Exactly." Leo nodded and continued in a low voice, "The way he moved his body just now and how quietly he breathes are exactly the same with those of people from Westernland."
Pompeii was composed of four parts, Easternland, Southernland, Westernland and Northernland, each border heavily guarded and led by a lord, just as Leo guarded the border of Northernland as Commander of Wyverns.
However, Leo had made more contributions than any other lord of the rest borders of Pompeii during these years, and the Wyverns was the best equipped forces, so the other three lords were unhappy with it.
"That’s interesting." Nadine’s lips curved into a grim smile. "Such a great fighter from Westernland actually submits himself to the Hamilton family."
Nadine had lived in Westernland for some time since she had started following Leo. It was a tough and war-ridden region. Citizens from the other parts of Pompeii were no match for Westernland people in terms of fighting, let alone a martial arts master known to all.
However, Leo lost interest in him after throwing a glance at him. He turned to Tristan and asked, "So he comes to your rescue?"
"Yes. His name is Zakariya and he comes from Westernland!" Tristan burst into laughter and came to Zakariya’s side. "He’s the top fighter of the Hamilton family, and she’s no match for him."
"I doubt it," Nadine sneered. "As far as I know, Westernland is the weakest region of Pompeii, and it can’t compete with Northernland at all. I don’t think a fighter from Westernland is intimidating to me."
"How dare you say that!" Tristan flew into a rage and pointed his finger at Nadine. "You have no idea what you’re talking about! Have you ever been to Westernland? If you had, you would find all your great skills are to no avail there!"
"Father, stop talking nonsense with her. She has no idea how strong the killers from Westernland are!" Now that Zakariya had showed up, Jaxon wasn’t afraid at all and started to ride the high horse again, as if he had found the key to success.
In the Hamiltons’ opinion, no matter how strong Nadine was, it was impossible for her to have been to some dangerous place like Westernland, and she couldn’t compete with a top fighter from Westernland like Zakariya.
"You’ve gone too far…" Nadine growled through clenched teeth. When she was fighting alongside Leo throughout Northernland, Jaxon was still a mere nobody.
"Nadine!" Suddenly, Leo called loudly.
Nadine recovered herself and stepped back behind Leo upon hearing that.
Watching this scene, both Tristan and Jaxon thought Leo was intimidated, and the grins on their faces widened.
"Now you realize what trouble you’ve got yourself into, kid, but it’s too late! Do you think you’ll survive tonight after you killed so many masters from the Hamilton family?" Tristan snarled.
Jaxon looked at Nadine with a scowl. "And you, you threw a dagger at me. Don’t kill this woman for now. Let me play with her first. I just want to see if she’s so fiery in bed!"
Zakariya strode towards Leo and Nadine with a dagger, saying nothing.
