Chapter: 870
"The Harmon family has produced yet another amazing talent!" Hector was pleased too. Dylan wasn’t far off from becoming a general if he was already a high–ranking commander before the age of 30.
"Congratulations, Dylan! You’ve attained the greatest heights out of all of us! Don’t forget about me when you make it big one day!" Kate sucked up to Dylan.
"What are you saying, Kate? We’re family! If you ever need anything, just let me know!" Dylan reassured with a pat on his chest.
"Hahaha! You’re the best!" Kate giggled.
"Right, Dad, you were talking about the Grants. What about them?" Dylan changed the topic.
"Well, this is how things are right now…" Jacob briefed Dylan about everything that went on in the family.
After Dylan heard what had happened, he laughed.
"Dad, Uncle Hector, don’t you worry! With me here, Tyler won’t dare to step out of line."
"You may be a high–ranking commander, Dylan, but Tyler is a general. I’m afraid…" Jacob left his sentence hanging. It was true that his son was capable and brilliant, but he was still lower in power compared to Tyler.
"Dad! Don’t forget that I’m from the Dark Panther Cavalry! Even deputy generals have to treat me with respect!" Dylan boasted conceitedly.
The Dark Panther Cavalry differed from ordinary units. They were the best of the best, and all the high–ranking commanders from the Dark Panther Cavalry were elites. If they were to be transferred to other units, they could easily be promoted to deputy generals. That was the prestige of the Dark Panther Cavalry.
"Dylan, Tyler is not just a deputy general. He’s been given the title of General Lionheart, and he’s an official of the third rank!" Jacob reminded him.
"So what if he’s a third–ranking official?" Dylan scoffed condescendingly.
"My general is the Scarlet Warrior, who is well–known across the whole of Dragonmarsh! And she’s a first–ranking official!"
"What? The Scarlet Warrior?" Everyone was astonished.
The Scarlet Warrior was one of the two aces of the Spanner family. She was on par with Adam Spanner, the God of War, and was also the only female general in Dragonmarsh, earning her the title of Goddess of War. Her achievements were extraordinary, and she was skilled in both civil and military strategies, which was why she had such high military standing. Almost everyone in Dragonmarsh knew her.
"My son! I never knew that your general was the Scarlet Warrior! That’s awesome!" Jacob was both surprised and elated. It was an honor not only for Dylan himself but even for the whole Harmon family to have him fight alongside the Scarlet Warrior.
"Well, Dad, do you still reckon that Tyler would act recklessly now?" Dylan asked with his chin lifted high. Though he did not exactly hold a high military position himself, he had the Scarlet Warrior backing him up. With such strong connections, who would dare mess with him?
"Hahaha! Even Tyler has to give way to the Scarlet Warrior! He’s no match for her!" Jacob laughed triumphantly.
"That’s great! There’s hope for us!" The rest of the family cheered.
What a turn of events! With Dylan’s return, the Harmons finally had hopes of turning the tables. The Grants were in for a shock on the day of the birthday banquet!
Over the next few days, the Harmons began sending out invitations and busied themselves with preparations for Hector’s 50th birthday celebration. As one of the Fabulous Five, the Harmons were a large family with lots of connections, and the leader of the family, Hector, was widely revered. Hence, when news got out that Hector was celebrating his birthday, it sent almost half the city into an excited frenzy. Countless celebrities, wealthy elites, and influential figures were eager to attend the event.
