[Red Beard] – Granello was one of the key henchmen of the Second Prince Dominguez; he controlled more than half of the forces at Imperial Patrol.
Although this tough looking man didn't have the influence and the intelligence Paris had, he was quite a character in St. Petersburg with his five-star fire elemental warrior energy and a smooth social skills. He was technically only under Paris in terms of status on Dominguez's side, and many people in St. Petersburg had to greet him with respect.
People at St. Petersburg had already forgotten when this Red Beard came into the politics.
The only thing that the people could recall was that this tough man was standing behind the Second Prince when Dominguez was summoned back to St. Petersburg by Emperor Yassin; at that time, a lot of ministers were against summoning back the Second Prince who still had the identity of a love-child. Back then, this guard standing behind the Second Prince didn't catch anyone's attention; after all, even the Second Prince at the time were looked down at by a lot of people.
Six years ago, there were eleven main battle legions in Zenit.
However, the commander of the eleventh legion mocked the Second Prince Dominguez who just came back to St. Petersburg for less than one month when they were at a party; they were fighting over a beautiful female slave. What people remembered from that was the red beard; the red-bearded guard cut off the head of this drunk commander to protect his master, and everyone remembered him ever since.
That chop made the a battle legion of 50,000 soldiers disappear.
That chop turned the former eleven battle legions into ten battle legions.
No one knew what Emperor Yassin was thinking at the time, but this guard who killed that commander didn't get punished; instead, he was rewarded by Emperor Yassin three days after for bravely protecting his master and got promoted. After that, he soon gained control of the Imperial Patrol and became the second most fear character under Dominguez.
Of course, the number one most feared character was the female slave that people were fighting over – She was Paris.
After a year, people in the capital started to address her as the [Demonic Woman].
At St. Petersburg, [Demonic Woman] Paris was the only person who was able to match up against [Zenit's God of War] Arshavin and [Goddess of Intelligence] Tanasha.
The family the eleventh legion commander was also getting pressured by their foes in the empire, and Emperor Yassin turned a blind eye to it. Soon, that family only existed in the history. After that incident, people got one thing straight; Emperor Yassin really liked his second son! And it wasn't impossible for the emperor to give the throne to him!
Since then, Dominguez became one of the most influential people in Zenit with the help of [Red Beard] and [Demonic Woman], and he was the only rival for Arshavin in terms of the race for the throne. Under this fact, a lot of noble families at St. Petersburg jumped onto his ship and supported him in the fight for the throne.

...
Today, [Red Beard] personally helped Fei and his men to get into St. Petersburg under Paris' instruction.
One reason for this was to ensure the plan was executed properly.
Another reason for this was that [Red Beard] Granello was very curious about Fei. He wanted to see for himself; he wanted to see what kind of person this king, who dared to fight anyone, was. A hidden dragon who was about to soar into the sky? Or a lizard who could just spite some fire.
Now, Granello knew.
Of course, Fei didn't know that this normal-looking red-beard guard was the fearful [Red Beard] who controlled Imperial Patrol; Old Zola's intelligence report told him that there was such a character.
After expressing his thanks, Fei didn't hesitate to ask them to leave politely.
Granello didn't get mad; he left with his men in a friendly manner.
After that, only Lampard, Cech, Torres, Oleg, Pierce, Drogba, and three other strongest Saint Seiyas were in the room – of course, there was the singled eyed tough man who had his limbs broken and mouth stuffed.
This man was one of the six top warriors at Blood-Edge; he was captured by Fei a few days ago at the campsite of Byzantine.
Compared to twenty days ago, this man looked a lot thinner, but vicious lights still flashed in his eyes. Fei could tell that this man hated him dearly.
"I said that I will let you witness how I destroy Blood-Edge. The day has finally arrived. I didn't let you wait for too long!" Fei kicked the cloth away from the man's mouth and sneered with a murderous intent in his words.
The man started to struggle and shout loudly.
"There is no use, no one will come to save you..." Fei said subconsciously. After he said that, he felt like it could be misunderstood into something obscene, so he quickly followed up: "This room had already been set up with noise-canceling arrays. Even if you smash all the things in here, your peers won't hear it!"
"King of Chambord, don't get ahead of yourself. There are a ton of powerful warriors at Blood-Edge, and we are backed by one of the superpowers at Zenit – Fellon Family. What can a small level 6 Affiliated Kingdom do to us?" After understanding the situation, desperation crept into the man's eyes. However, the words that came out of his mouth sounded even more ferocious.
Pia!
Tough Drogba was direct and forceful. He smashed the man's face, and blood spilled everywhere. The man's cracked jawbones got smashed into pieces.
Fei, on the other hand, switched to Barbarian Mode, and powerful physical strength was endowed onto his body.
At the next moment, his face changed color. He sensed that there were a lot of powerful warriors hidden around the headquarter of Blood-Edge. There were four or five groups, and they seemed to be from difference forces; they were all waiting for something.
"These people must be from the forces that Paris made deals with. They wanted to use me to wipe out Blood-Edge and divide the wealth."
Fei thought about it and realized this was a rare opportunity.
"This time, no one needs to hold back. Bring out all your strength, and use the Star Saint Sets I gave you when necessary! I need you to lock all the possible exits of their headquarter and don't let anyone escape! I will let these people pay for what they did to Chambord!"
Fei's clear and murderous words sounded by everyone's ears.
...
...
"Leader, we got it. The murder of the northern slave capture team is related to King Alexander of Chambord, and the man who killed Blood-Edge members in the camp area is also him!"
In the bright stone palace lit up by torches, numerous shadows moved as the fires flickered.
One person kneeled on the ground as he passed on the message.
"King Alexander of Chambord... that little king of level 6 affiliated kingdom who defeated the Executive Knights? Huh... if it is really him, then this situation might get a little messy..." A mid-aged man who was wearing a dark blue cape made from the skin of a Demon Beast wondered as he rubbed the handle of the throne he was sitting on; the throne was decorated with two lion statues.
"According to the information we gathered from the Blackstone Kingdom, it could be that we have captured too many slaves who were from Chambord."
"Getting on the wrong side of Blood-Edge because of some slaves? What a dumb reason... Looks like this King of Chambord is very naive. He is an idiot! No wonder he dared to anger half of the Executive Knights... Eh, even if a man like this got a lot of strength, he couldn't do much with it. Looks like I overestimated him..." The man on the throne relaxed.
"You are right, my leader. This King of Chambord is a bumpkin who would be killed sooner or later by others!"
"In my opinion, this king is a poor soul who was used by others. He looks dominating now, but he would be taken care of!"
"Hehe, I will personally conquer that little kingdom with my team and revenge for our brothers!"
"Fellon Family really wanted to recruit that idiot I think we need to send someone to Chambord's campsite and ask him why he killed our men. If he couldn't give a good answer... Hehe, we could kill a few Chambordians. We shall let him know that he couldn't protect everyone with his personal power."
All the members of Blood-Edge laughed along with their leader. They started to shout and mock Fei; the heavy pressure that the young king gave them seemed to have disappeared.
