Chapter 1891: The World Was Alarmed
Douglas waved the letter in his hand, and spoke to all the elders and powerhouses in the Frost Dragon Tribe with a frown. “Alex found the Frost Order, but he didn’t find Rankster. Moreover, this matter is related to the devil. I’m afraid the worst might have happened to him.”
All the giant dragons paled. Although Rankster didn’t have many real supporters in the Frost Dragon Tribe, he was still the number one powerhouse of the Frost Dragons. It was no doubt a huge impact to the Frost Dragons if he was confirmed to be dead.
“He… is indeed dead?” The eyes of Fox, who was sitting at the last seat, lit up. The news that he had been waiting so hard for was finally confirmed. He just didn’t expect that it would eventually be revealed by Alex.
However, all this was no longer important. Elizabeth had already left the Frost Dragons, and he was the only candidate for the chief now. He could be the Frost Dragons’ chief officially as soon as he got the Frost Order.
“Great Elder, where is the Frost Order now?” Fox tried his best to ask as calmly as possible. “The Frost Order is the Frost Dragons’ chief’s token. We should retrieve it as soon as possible.”
Douglas looked at Fox with a frown, and said, “Alex has already passed the Frost Order to Elizabeth.”
“What!?” Fox immediately stood up, and agitatedly said, “How can such a precious item be possessed by a traitor?”
“Elizabeth still belongs to the Frost Dragon Tribe. She is the daughter of Rankster. How can you call her a traitor?” There was a hint of displeasure in Douglas’ voice.
Fox realized that he had overreacted, so he quickly lowered his head, and respectfully said, “Great Elder, Elizabeth and Alex broke the rules of duel, and almost killed me before fleeing the Frost Dragon Island. Aren’t such actions equivalent to betrayal?”
“Yes, Great Elder. This girl is as hard to tame as Rankster, and she is hard-hearted and cruel. There will definitely be trouble if we keep her in the tribe. Perhaps she will be another Rankster.”
“She must hate us, the Frost Dragons. Why don’t we kill her, and eliminate this threat before she matures?”
The second elder and the third elder chimed in with a cruel look.
All the elders had different expressions, but they didn’t refute, either.
Right then, the sixth elder slammed the table, and angrily said, “Nonsense! Elizabeth is kind and completely different from Rankster. Would she have fought back if you all hadn’t forced her into a dead end? I think you people are afraid that our Frost Dragon Tribe won’t go into a decline, so you try so hard to eliminate our own outstanding younger generation. I’m ashamed to be in your company!”
“Don’t be silly, Sixth. If Elizabeth really becomes our chief, our lives will be worse than the time that Rankster was around!” the second elder shouted severely with a sullen expression.
The sixth elder looked at all the elders sarcastically. “If it weren’t for Rankster, we Frost Dragons would have fallen out of the top 10 dragon tribes long ago, let alone be on par with the Golden Dragon Tribe. You people couldn’t be tyrants when he was around, but to the Frost Dragon Tribe, it was a rare era in thousands of years when we could develop and grow.
“I won’t oppose if Elizabeth becomes the next Rankster. On the contrary, I will strongly support her, fully support her!”
“Alright!” Douglas interrupted their arguments with an icy expression. He swept his sharp gaze at all the elders and Fox before he gravely said, “Elizabeth is the most talented Frost Dragon in the past hundreds of years. Although the Frost Order is a very important artifact of our tribe, it also belonged to Rankster. It’s heartless if we force her to give it back now.”
“Great Elder…” Fox looked grave instantly, and he tried to say something.
“Go to Chaos City and get it yourself if you want to. Alex is in Chaos City now. Why do you think he gave the Frost Order to Elizabeth in such a high-profile manner?” Douglas looked at Fox coldly.
Fox felt all choked up, and instinctively gulped. The person that he least wanted to see was Alex, so how would he dare to go ask for the Frost Order.
“The Golden Dragons will welcome her without hesitation if we continue to push her away. They will even give her the Golden Dragons’ throne,” Douglas said to all of them in a low voice. “By then, there will be no way that we can be on par with the Golden Dragons.”

“The… location of the seal isn’t Golden Dragon Island, but underneath it?” Louis couldn’t help but exclaim as he stared at the notice that he had received.
After the Thunderstorm Mountains’ incident, he already had a deep understanding of how terrifying the devil was.
However, the whole tribe had searched everywhere on Dragon Island with all their manpower, but they still couldn’t find anything to the seal or the devil.
Just as he thought that the mural was probably left behind by the ancient people as a warning, Alex unexpectedly found the location of a seal in the mountain range below Dragon Island.
What made him feel even more uneasy was that the seal was already broken, and the devil was gone.
Louis felt a chill up his back the moment he thought about that powerful octopus monster which had escaped from the seal, and was hiding somewhere.
“We have to go and check out that seal as soon as possible so that we can discuss how to handle it.” Louis strode around in the great hall with an anxious expression.

“I thought that matter at the Thunderstorm Mountains was already settled. I didn’t expect something to crop up again. A devil that has escaped from the seal is indeed a headache.” Andre was also sitting on his throne, and staring at the notice in his hand with a frown.
All the courtiers below looked miserable too.
The Thunderstorm Mountains’ incident was already well-known. All the courtiers knew how powerful the devil was.
Now that a devil had escaped from the seal, it was going to cause more uncertainty to the peace negotiation three days later.
A courtier got up, and asked suspiciously, “Your Majesty, this devil was discovered by Alex and Irina again. Can this be the fake news that the two of them let out to manipulate the peace meeting?”
All the courtiers had a doubtful expression when they heard that too. That was possible too.
“Michael has invited all the races’ powerhouses to explore that seal’s location. We will know if it’s real when they go over there. Alex and Irina wouldn’t do something that stupid.” Andre shook his head, and gravely said, “Let’s discuss a solution. How should our Roth Empire handle the devil if it has indeed escaped from the seal?”

Ding!
The doorbell rang again.
Amy, who had just come down from upstairs, was still holding an ice cream. She skipped to the door, and opened it.
Teacher Luna and Irina were chatting outside.
