King's Awakening

Chapter 512: Chapter 512: The Beacon Fires are Lit!

Upon hearing White Mitchell’s question, Alexander nodded.

“So it is!” Seeing this, White Mitchell involuntarily let out a bitter smile. A feeling of bleakness rose within his heart.

Years ago, his father, River Mitchell brought back a wicked woman into the Mitchell Family, a woman who was accompanied by an illegitimate child.

But River Mitchell disappeared without a trace, leaving behind not a single explanation.

Since then, everything in the Mitchell Family turned upside down. He was no longer the beloved heir of the Mitchell family but a person who had been abandoned.

He had once sought his father’s whereabouts, hoping he could give an explanation, but in the end, it amounted to nothing.

Now, Alexander has not only called him in but has also summoned his uncle, Mateo Mitchell, which aroused his curiosity.

Most likely, the cause was the Forbidden Land, which involved the Mitchell Family.

And the only connection the Mitchell Family could have with the Forbidden Land was his father, River Mitchell. He couldn’t think of any other possibility.

As expected, his father, River Mitchell, was indeed in the Forbidden Land.

Should he rejoice at finally knowing his father’s whereabouts, or should he blame him for abandoning him back then?

For a time, White Mitchell found himself in a dilemma.

From a moral perspective, River Mitchell did nothing wrong. He chose righteousness.

However, on the father-son relationship front, his departure put White Mitchell in the eye of a storm, failing his responsibilities as a father.

“Is he… still alive?” White Mitchell, suppressing his emotion, slowly asked. His voice carried a slight tremble.

This White Army Master, who had braved countless bloody battles, who was iron-hearted, was still a person, a living person, and not an emotionless machine.

Watching White Mitchell’s response, Alexander slowly replied, “He is alive, but barely.”

Barely alive?

White Mitchell paused, upon seeing this, Alexander continued to explain, “With the fall of those pioneers, the Transcendent Powers in the Forbidden Land that covet the Dragon Realm are ready to act.”

As early as more than twenty years ago, we had insights and hence, gathered a group of extremely talented martial artists. We trained them systematically to help them step into the Transcendent Realm.”

Your father was one of them.”

Currently, he is in the Forbidden Land, fighting alongside those we trained to become Transcendent. In a place invisible to the world, they are silently protecting the peace of the Dragon Realm.”

However, their situation is now grim. More than half of them have fallen, and they may not last much longer.”

The reason for this visit is twofold. First, you have already dealt with worldly matters, and secondly, we hope that you can lead the brave men of the White War Department to the Forbidden Land.”

There’s a possibility that you may never return; the deeds you do there will not appear in any historical record. Even your identities will be completely erased by us.”

Consider this carefully, you must think it through,”

Hearing this, White Mitchell drew a deep breath as usual when accepting orders. He stood tall and firmly responded, “Every inch of the Land of Dragon Realm must be fought for! With the White War Department by my side, we won’t let anyone encroach upon the Dragon Realm!”
