chapter 15 Black Dragon Fury

"It's me."
These two words, short as they were, resounded through the entire venue like thunder, stunning everyone, and leaving their minds blank and in disarray.
Even Olav Xiao on the auction stage was stunned.
He was the Deputy Commander of the Western Frontier Army, seasoned in countless battles, but he too was left dumbfounded by Ellison Jiang's shout.
When he finally reacted, he saw a man walking in.
This man wore a black mask that concealed his face, exuding an aura of coldness.
This chilling presence seemed to lower the temperature of the entire venue by several degrees.
"Is it him?"
"The masked man who killed Midas Xiao!"
In the venue, many people recognized Ellison Jiang as the man who had brutally broken Nasser Xiao's arm and beheaded Midas Xiao, leaving his body in a pool of blood.
"Is it you?" Olav Xiao's face darkened.
In the surveillance videos of the Xiao family, he had seen this masked man. He now realized that the masked man was the one who had killed his father.
"Jiang family remnant?" Olav Xiao glared at Ellison Jiang. Despite being the Deputy Commander of the Western Frontier Army with numerous battles under his belt, he felt a trace of fear emanating from Ellison Jiang.
Ellison Jiang, wearing a black mask that revealed only his eyes, had blood-red pupils.
As for Lucas, who followed behind him, he couldn't help but shiver when he saw Camellia Tang on the auction stage, covered in blood and barely conscious.
He realized that today, in this place, blood would be spilled.
Having accompanied Ellison Jiang for many years, Lucas understood Ellison Jiang's temperament well.
Ellison Jiang cared deeply about his brothers, the ones he had shared life-and-death experiences with.
Besides that, he held an unwavering gratitude toward the girl who had saved him from the raging flames.
For the sake of Camellia Tang, Ellison Jiang was willing to give up the highest honor he could achieve.
If he hadn't made this choice, his prestige would have undoubtedly propelled him to become the head of the Five Great Commanders in the future.
But now, Olav Xiao had dared to harm Camellia Tang.
It was as if he had touched Ellison Jiang's most sensitive nerve.
Just like how a dragon had its reverse scale, which, when touched, would bring death upon the offender, Camellia Tang was Ellison Jiang's reverse scale.
Olav Xiao was doomed, and no one could save him now, not even the presence of the Carefree King. Anyone who dared to obstruct would meet the same fate as Olav Xiao.
In the vast auction hall, a deathly silence hung in the air.
Ellison Jiang and Olav Xiao locked eyes, and under the overwhelming aura, Olav Xiao, a seasoned Deputy Commander, felt a shiver down his spine. Unnoticed by him, beads of cold sweat formed on his forehead.
Ellison Jiang extended his hand to his waist and pulled out a thin iron wire.
He tightened the iron wire formed from silver needles and, under the watchful gazes of many, took step by step towards the auction stage.
Thump, thump, thump!
Each step of his heavy shoes hitting the ground created a rhythmic sound that sent shivers down the spines of everyone in the room.
As he reached the end, it felt like an earthquake, causing some tables and chairs to tremble.
"Black, black..."
Olav Xiao saw the thin iron wire composed of silver needles in Ellison Jian's hand, his face filled with terror.
He remembered a person — there was only one person who could use silver needles to form a weapon like this!
Whoosh!
Ellison Jiang made his move, and the iron wire in his hand instantly split apart, transforming into a series of silver needles that accurately pierced Olav Xiao's forehead. Then, the silver needles flew back, reassembling into a thin iron wire.
Traces of blood stained the iron wire.
Olav Xiao stammered, "Bl—"
He never got to say the word "black" in its entirety.
However, in his final moments, he felt deep regret.
He had watched the surveillance footage of Ellison Jiang's iron wire, but the distance had been too great for him to see it clearly.
If he had seen it clearly, he wouldn't have dared to provoke trouble for Camellia Tang!
This was the Black Dragon!
A name that resonated throughout Southern Wilderness, one of the Five Great Commanders, and a peer of his superior!
But he knew, even though they were peers, ten Carefree Kings wouldn't be a match for a single Black Dragon!
In the eyes of many horrified onlookers, Olav Xiao slowly collapsed without making a sound.
Camellia Tang lay on the auction stage.
In her dazed state, she saw a face with a black mask approaching her.
She desperately tried to get a clear look and remember the mask, but she had lost too much blood, and her head spun. She fell unconscious.
Before losing consciousness, she felt strong hands lifting her up.
"No one from the Western Frontier Army will be left alive, and no one from the Xiao family will move. I want them to know what despair is and die in despair," Ellison Jiang declared coldly.
He cradled the unconscious Camellia Tang in his arms and walked step by step toward the exit. His emotionless voice echoed through the venue.
Meanwhile, the heavily armed soldiers on both sides of the stage were petrified. Their bodies trembled in fear.
Lucas received Ellison Jiang's command and advanced. With a swing of his trench coat, he reached for the knives at his waist.
Swish, swish, swish!
Throwing knives were launched one after another.
Two Western Frontier Army soldiers fell into pools of blood.
Lucas moved behind the stage, swiftly and silently dealing with any remaining Western Frontier Army soldiers. In the end, none of them had a chance to retaliate.
The vast venue fell into absolute silence.
The celebrities and elites in Jiang Zhong all cowered, clutching their heads, crouched on the ground, not daring to move.
It took about ten minutes before someone gathered the courage to stand up. When they saw Olav Xiao and the Western Frontier Army soldiers lying in pools of blood, they gasped in surprise.
The other Xiao family members were also too frightened to say a word.
At this moment, they were afraid!
The words, "No one from the Xiao family will move. I want them to know what despair is and die in despair," continued to echo in their minds.
Some people reacted quickly and called the police.
Soon, officers arrived at the scene, freed the trapped members of the Tang family, and began securing the area.
They started conducting interviews and collecting evidence.
