Supreme Mars novel Chapter 447

The badge in Reece's hand was all blood red, as if it had been soaked in blood before. Besides, there was a mighty and bloodthirsty flying dragon carved on it.

Leo couldn’t be more familiar with the badge, because it was his Dragonlord Badge.

"What’s that?" Lydia and Michelle looked curiously at the badge, wondering what it was.

Reece replied proudly, "It’s normal for people outside the Newman family not to recognize it. This is the new Dragonlord’s badge used for commanding the border soldiers. It represents Dragonlord himself. Except for Dragonlord of Northernland, the lords of Westernland, Easternland and Southernland can take military action with the badge!"

Lydia turned pale upon hearing Reece. Now she realized what was going on here. Anyone with the Dragonlord Badge was able to deploy forces. Just as Reece said, the Dragonlord Badge was indeed the representation of supreme power.

Music Maestro couldn’t help but cast a look at Leo before she asked in a grim voice, "Why do you have the Dragonlord Badge?"

Reece burst into laughter. "That’s something you shouldn’t know, but it doesn’t matter if I tell you about it."

As far as Reece was concerned, they weren’t important figures in the army and wouldn’t understand it even if he told them the truth.

"You guys don’t know that Dragonlord, who is supposed to defend Northernland, left the army and came back home to get married, and now no one is guarding Northernland, I assume? But Northernland can’t be left unattended, even for one day. Therefore, the lords of Easternland, Westernland and Southernland discussed it and decided to hold the Northernland Conference in Hopkins to select someone strong from the masses to defend Northernland."

"Does it have anything to do with you?" Music Maestro asked coldly as she shot a glance at Leo carefully.

However, the four lords weren’t of a mind. The other three lords felt bitter about Dragonlord of Northernland beating them all, and the Northernland Conference was held to make Dragonlord a mere figurehead.

Leo, nevertheless, couldn’t care less about it. He even gave a contemptuous smile.

Reece laughed and replied, "It’s been years since you left home, so it’s normal for you not to know it. Grandfather has known Cassius, the lord of Westernland, for a long time. Grandfather pleaded him and Cassius agreed to help the Newman family take in strong fighters across the country to attend the Northernland Conference on behalf of the Newman family, so that our family will become a national family, no matter who wins in the end, and that explains why I am here. I’m here to look for strong fighters for the Newman family. It’s just that I happened to be in Emerdale when I heard you were giving a concert, so I came to attend it."

Everyone but Leo got tense as they heard what Reece said.

Music Maestro, however, snapped, "The Dragonlord Badge is used for defending out country, not for satisfying your own needs."

Reece said slowly, "That is the truth, but don’t push me too far, or you’ll regret it." He paused and crooked his finger at Music Maestro. "Now, come to me. Maybe I’ll consider letting them go."

Unmoved, Music Maestro turned to Leo despite herself.

Lydia’s face also grew solemn. "What should we do now…"

Leo, nonetheless, remained collected from the beginning. He poured calmly a cup of tea for himself, took a sip and said, "The Northernland Conference is nothing but a gathering of a bunch of clowns entertaining themselves. Go back and tell Cassius that there’s no point in doing so."

Leo could imagine what the Northernland Conference would be like. To him, it was nothing serious, but it would definitely affect the future setup of Hopkins.

Some families would prosper, while others would fall overnight, which was why royal families in Valenham wouldn’t hold such conference in Valenham, because no one wanted to suffer loss. Even if the winners received high returns, there were a lot of risks as too.

Stunned for some time, Reece finally roared angrily, "How dare you call the lord of Westernland by his first name!"

Leo broke into laughter. "But if you must entertain yourself, it’s quite understandable. After all, they’re filled with resentment."

Not only Reece was stupefied by Leo’s words, but Lydia was also staring blankly at him.

Leo spoke as if he was Dragonlord of Northernland.

The next moment, Reece replied in disdain, "Cut the crap. Anyways, Music Maestro won’t go anywhere but leave with me today. Besides, you’ve also committed a major crime by killing my men."

"Is that so?" Leo smiled faintly. "In this case, go get help. I wonder who you can get."
