Chapter 552

"Why are you back so soon, Son? Weren't

you warding off enemies at the borders?" Jacob quickly went up

to his son joyfully once he snapped out

of the initial shock of seeing Dylan.

"Everything's peaceful over at the borders now, so I took a few days off

to come back for a bit." Dylan chuckled.

"Good, that's good… It's great to see you back! I haven't seen you in a y

ear! You look even more ripped now!" Jacob patted Dylan on the back delig

htedly. He was pleased with his son's achievements. Out of all the member

s of the younger generation in the Harmons, Dylan was the most accomplish

ed of all.

"I've got good news, Dad. I've been promoted! I'm now a high–

ranking commander in the Dark Panther Cavalry. I've got over a thousand m

en working under me!" Dylan announced proudly.

"What? A high–ranking commander?" An excited chatter broke

out among the crowd, who were all delightfully surprised to hear that. Th

ere were also some who were envious of his progress.

As a high–

ranking commander, he was just one step away from becoming a deputy gener

al, and Dylan wasn't even 30 years old yet! To achieve what he had

now, especially at such a young age, Dylan had a bright future ahead!

"Hahaha! Great! That's amazing!" Jacob laughed heartily. "My son is amazi

ng! He's been promoted again in just a year! I'm proud of you, Son!"

"Like father, like son!" Trent exclaimed enviously. "You'll be as great a

s Tyler Grant, if not better than him in the future, Dylan!"

"The Harmon family has produced yet another amazing talent!" Hector was p

leased 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 u

p 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 c

hanged the topic.

"Well, this is how things are right now…" Jacob briefed Dylan about every

thing 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 ge

nerals 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 wer

e to be

transferred to other units, they could easily be promoted to deputy gener

als. 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 reminde

d him.

"So what if he's a third–

ranking official?" Dylan scoffed condescendingly. "My general is the Scar

let 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 wa

s 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 achi

evements were extraordinary, and she was skilled in both civil and milita

ry 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 a

wesome!" Jacob was both surprised and elated. It was an honor not only fo

r Dylan himself but even for the whole Harmon family to have him fight al

ongside the Scarlet Warrior.

"Well, Dad, do you still reckon that Tyler would act recklessly now?" Dyl

an 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 st

rong 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!
