Chapter 41 The Role Model
“Wow! Look at that! It’s Commander Quinn! So handsome!”
“Commander Quinn is my idol. I finally get to see her in person today!”
As Veronica entered the Dragon Building, her confident and outstanding looks immediately attracted the receptionists at the front desk. Each of them seemed to turn into a fan, enamored by her presence.
Despite being a woman, Veronica was skilled in combat and had remarkable martial prowess. Despite her young age, she could lead the Sherland Guardians with ease.
Moreover, she possessed breathtaking beauty and a captivating demeanor, making her both loved and admired by the public.
Particularly among the young women of the new generation, Veronica was considered an idol and a role model.
Who said that women couldn’t excel as men did? Who said that women should only focus on appearances?
Among women, there were those who preferred to join the army. They could fight alongside men and achieve great feats!
Veronica gestured, and two squads of guards entered, gradually taking control of the situation.
But at this moment, Leones and Blackdrake had already taken the elevator and left.
Veronica surveyed the scene, her voice stern. “Who allowed you to gather here? Have you reported this gathering to government? Where’s Blackdrake? Tell him to come to me!”
The receptionists timidly responded, “Our boss is accompanying an important guest. They have already gone upstairs.”
“What kind of guest?” Veronica pressed on. “Who is it? Why such a grand reception? Are you planning a rebellion?”
With thousands of people gathered in the Dragon Building, this was the first time since Veronica joined the Sherland Guardians that she had witnessed such a large congregation. She felt a sense of unease..
“Uh…” Under Veronica’s repeated questioning, a receptionist had no choice but to reveal the truth. “We’re here to welcome the Dragon King.”
What?
Dragon King?
“You mean the Dragon King of the Underground?” Veronica was shocked, and even her subordinates became nervous.
Everyone had heard of the horrifying history of the Dragon Kind of the Underground.
In order to arrest him back then, the authorities mobilized three top–notch war gods to intercept him. Finally, they managed to capture him and imprison him in a secret prison.
From then on, the underground forces fell apart and became a mess.
“Did he escape from prison?”
Veronica felt very anxious. If the Dragon King actually escaped from prison and hid in this building, the situation would become much more severe!

“No, of course not!”
The receptionist hurriedly explained, “It’s not the old Dragon King. It’s a new Dragon King… They say he’s the successor of the old Dragon King.”
The tense guards were only slightly relaxed upon hearing this.
“A new Dragon King?”
Veronica frowned, not daring to underestimate the situation.
Even if this new Dragon King was only half as capable as the old one, he would still be a
formidable challenge.
“Damn it!” Veronica thought, “Just after Mr. Waltson left Sherland, Blackdrake returned, and now
there’s a successor to the Dragon King too? What a mess!”
Since they all gathered together, they must be planning something.
“Take me to meet them!” Veronica said seriously.
Veronica intended to personally assess the new Dragon King’s strengths and intentions.
“Um…” The receptionists hesitated. “We’ll call them first.”
As expected, Veronica’s request was declined.
“Our boss said he’s welcoming the new Dragon King today and isn’t available to meet guests, Perhaps you should come another day.”
Veronica pondered for a moment. She realized that forcefully barging in might lead to conflict, and she didn’t want to be the one provoking it.
Moreover, even though Blackdrake and his group had gathered, they hadn’t actually committed any crimes. The Sherland Guardians had no reason to forcefully arrest them.
“Alright, I’ll come back another day to visit him,” Veronica said.
But as she turned around, her steps paused, and she continued, “Tell Blackdrake that he should behave well since he’s back in Sherland. Sherland Guardians will be keeping an eye on all of you!”
“Let’s go!”
Veronica waved at her team and led them away.
Meanwhile, in the top floor hall, Leones sat on the Dragon Throne, gazing down at the leaders.
to Undrago.
Blackdrake was introducing his subordinates and the matters down at the leaders.
Everyone declared their loyalty to Leones, acknowledging him as their lord. They promised to serve him wholeheartedly.
“This is Josh.”
After introducing his own team, Blackdrake then introduced the guests beside him.
Firstly, he introduced the representative from one of the top ten aristocratic families, the Shelton family.
“The Shelton family?” Leones raised an eyebrow, remembering that Mia had mentioned five major families that had risen with the support of the Soler family, and the Shelton family was one of them.
“Allow me to introduce myself, I am Josh Shelton,” Josh said as he bowed. “Today, I’m fortunate to witness the might of the Dragon King, and I’m truly impressed. The Shelton family is willing to form an everlasting alliance with you.”

Leones glanced at Josh and then inquired, “Has the Peterson family informed you that there will be a meeting among the five major families in the coming days?”
“You mean the rumors about the Soler family returning to the scene?” Josh nodded and continued, “I’ve heard some. It’s said that the Soler family brought in a top–tier expert who managed to intimidate and gain the allegiance of the Peterson family overnight. Wait…”
Suddenly, Josh’s eyes widened as he realized something. “Could it be… that the Soler family’s backer is none other than you, my lord?”
Leones nodded, saying, “Indeed, it’s me!”
“I have a plan to assist the Soler family in their resurgence. When the time comes, I will require the full cooperation of the five major families.”
“I don’t care about the past grievances between your families and the Soler family. We’re putting all that behind us.”
“From now on, I will be in charge of the situation, and everything will be done according to my instructions.”
“At the meeting, you should understand what needs to be said and how to express yourselves, right?”
Josh quickly understood and stated, “Our Shelton family will fully cooperate with you, Dragon King, and stand by your
side.”
Leones nodded in satisfaction.
With Blackdrake’s underground influence now fully under his control and the integration of the five major families at the upcoming meeting, his strength would soon surpass that of the Bloom family.
The reclamation of the Bloom family was now within reach.
While they were discussing, a subordinate rushed in to report that Veronica of the Sherland Guardians had entered with her team and was requesting an audience.
“Veronica? Why is she here?” Leones furrowed his brow but didn’t pay much attention to it. “Let her leave.”
However, as soon as Veronica and her team were sent away, another subordinate rushed in haste to report another incident.
“My lord!”
“Dragon King, something is wrong!”
“An old man has arrived, demanding to see Mr. Blackdrake. We tried to turn him away, but he forced his way up here. No one could stop him!”
Upon hearing this, Blackdrake’s anger flared up. “Hmph! Who does he think he is? Dare to mess with me? Is he tired of living?”
Before he could finish, an elderly voice sounded from outside the hall. “I dare!”
A thin old man with white hair, dressed in simple clothes and holding a quarterstaff, stood outside the hall.
“Mr. Blackdrake, that’s him!” One of the lackeys said, frightened and stepping back.
“Who are you?” Blackdrake asked, puzzled by the old man’s presence.
“I was sent by Mr. Baker,” the old man said slowly. “He wants to teach you a lesson.”
