James sat on the plane as a broody expression clouded over his face. The cabin temperature seemed to drop by several degrees from his chilly attitude alone.

Soon, the plane landed in the Southern Plains.

James received a phone call as soon as he got off the plane.

It was an unknown number.

"Black Dragon, head to the Mount Thunder Pass alone. You must not bring anyone with you. You can be prepared to collect Black Shadow's corpse if we spot someone following you."

The other party gave him brief directions and hung up the phone.

James frowned.

How did he get contacted the literal moment he stepped off the plane?

Had the enemy been watching his every move and was his whereabouts exposed to them?

Who was targeting him?

This was the headquarters of a military region in the Southern Plains.

As soon as James got off the plane, a group of people rushed to greet him.

The person in the lead was the lieutenant in uniform with a one-star badge on his shoulder. Behind him was a group of fully-armed warriors also in uniform.

"Attention!"

Thousands of soldiers rushed over, stood in front of James, stood straight, and raised their right hands to their brows.

"You're finally back, Commander!"

The soldier with a one-star badge approached excitedly.

This was the lieutenant, Levi Grant.

He was in his 40s and had an angular face with a scar, which gave his appearance an intimidating edge.

"Alright, everyone can disperse now. Prepare an off-road vehicle filled with gas and an extra two barrels of gas in the trunk. I'll be leaving the border."

Levi licked his lips anxiously.

"Where are you off to Commander?"

James did not elaborate on the details.

He was currently being watched by the enemy, so it was impossible for him to lead an army out there.

Henry's life would be in danger if he took an army with him.

He knew it would be dangerous to go alone to Mount Thunder Pass. The mountain was a dangerous place, and there was a good chance he would not make it out alive. Although it was dangerous, he had to go.

"Levi."

"Yes, sir!"

"Prepare a bullet-proof vest for me."

"Alright."

Levi immediately presented the vest to him.

James put on the bulletproof vest.

Soon, the off-road vehicle was also filled with gas and ready to leave.

Levi asked again, "Commander, why are you going to Mount Thunder Pass? Let me come with you. I'll bring ten thousand soldiers with us."

James waved his hand in refusal and said tersely, "That won't be needed. I'll be going myself. If I'm not back by tomorrow morning, lead any army to Mount Thunder Pass and rout the mountain." Afterward, James got into the car, started the engine, and drove away from the military region.

Mount Thunder Pass was at the Souther Plains' borders.

To be precise, this place was no longer under the jurisdiction of Sol. This was a place that no country controlled nor cared about anymore.

This place was also on the border of many small countries.

Mount Thunder Pass, mountain peak.

A wooden house stood on the mountain peak.

Tied up inside the room was Henry, the deputy commander of the Southern Plains' Dragon Army.

Henry was covered in blood on the ground with his eyes shut. It was hard to tell whether he was still alive.

The house was full of mercenaries in camouflage uniforms that were armed to the teeth.

Not far away were combat aircraft, tanks, and other terrifying lethal weapons.

"Reporting..."

A man in a camouflage uniform and mottled face rushed over, knelt on one knee, and reported, "The Black Dragon has arrived in the Southern Plains and is making his way for Mount Thunder Pass."

A man walked out from inside a wooden house.

The man wore a black coat and mask. It made his appearance indistinguishable.

A hoarse voice escaped his throat. "Is he alone?"

"Yes, the Black Dragon is alone."
