He instinctively retreated behind his officials.

At that moment, the three water–type and four wood–type Starcards in the hands of the seven Starbornes glowed simultaneously.

In the next second, arrows of water and sharp wooden spikes shot through the air.

With a chorus of shrill piercing sounds, seven of the closest Vyrdenia officials were struck almost instantly.

Their screams were sharp and miserable.

None of them were warriors. They were at best at mid–level. Against these high–level Starbornes, they had no hope of defending themselves.

In mere seconds, all seven fell to the ground. They were dead.

The twelve remaining officials beside Emperor Grant were paralyzed with fear.

“The Sunset Empire is insane! They’re all crazy!”

“What do we do? What do we do now?”

“Run! We have to run!”

“There’s no way out behind us. How do we run?”

At that moment, seven or eight of the terrified officials suddenly turned toward the interrogation chamber where the Sirius Pack and Lorne stood.

“Over there!”

“If we die, we die together!”

They gritted their teeth and sprinted toward the chamber door.

Realizing his human shields were abandoning him, Emperor Grant immediately followed.

But as they reached the doorway, Randolph and the Sirius Pack stepped forward and blocked the entrance.

The officials leading the charge were mercilessly kicked back by Randolph and the others.

As they landed in a heap, Randolph glared down at them coldly. “You already picked a side. You can’t take it back.”

All pride and dignity abandoned, he charged for the interrogation room.

He was only forty–five. He was still young. He didn’t want to die.

But just before he made it in, Randolph stepped in his way.

Emperor Grant instinctively glanced at the advancing Starbornes behind him, then screamed in desperation, “Let me in! 1 order you to let me in!”

Randolph smiled coldly. “Your Majesty, your status is far too noble. This kind of place… isn’t suitable for someone like you? Feeling death breathe down his neck, Emperor Grant was almost tempted to kill Randolph then and there.

But he knew he was no match for this high–level warrior.

No matter how furious or afraid he was, all he could do was glare at Randolph and snarl, “You think just because the Draco Guards are here, you’re safe? Fools!”

Emperor Grant added, “The Draco Guards only obey my orders. If I die, they’ll never help you. And there’s not a single Starborne in that room. In the end, you’ll all die too!”

He gave an offer. “Let me in now, and I’ll pardon you. I’ll even grant you a position in the Draco Guards, or maybe even as a Starborne yourself. But if you don’t know what’s good for you…”
