Chapter 18

Your servant, Dante Fowler, the head of the Ravaging dynasties, is at your service, My Lord!"

"At your service, My Lord!" the few hundred members of the Ravaging dynasties echoed in unison.

That gave Scott a great shock, for he wasn't aware that he had such a status caus he has been in prison and didn't even get time to associate with people before he got in.

"Uh… H-Have you gotten the wrong person? I'm not your overlord!" He shook his head profusely.

"The person wearing the Dragon Ring is the overlord of the League of assassins. There's no mistake about it!" Dante asserted.

At that remark, a fragment of memory flashed across Scott's mind.

"Back when I was in prison, Dracula kept insisting that he was the overlord of some sort of movement people barely know they exist and he kept talking about the League of assassins. Later, he gave me a ring. It looks like it's precisely because of the ring that Dante claims that I'm the overlord of the League of assassins!

"You mean it's because of this ring I'm wearing?" Scott inquired after slipping the ring off.

"Yes. That's the Dragon Ring of the League of assassins. According to the rules of the League, whoever wears it is the overlord of the League!" Dante explained, lifting his head and staring at the ring in the man's hand.

Feeling a tad discomforted to see them all kneeling, Scott waved a hand. "Please get to your feet first."

"Thank you, My Lord!"

Dante and his men all stood up.

"I'll be honest with you. I'm really not your overlord, for someone gifted me this ring. You're truly gotten the wrong person!" Scott clarified.

"We only acknowledge the Dragon Ring, not the person himself. Since you're in possession of the Dragon Ring, you're our overlord!" Dante replied respectfully.

Hearing that, Scott was speechless. It seems that Dracula deliberately passed his position to me!

"Are you all members of the League of assassins?" he queried.

"Yes. The League of assassins has a total of thirteen dynasties, and the Ravaging dynasties is just one of them. However, I'm not familiar with the members of the other dynasties, and we seldom communicate. The only exception is when we're summoned by our overlord. Otherwise, we can't simply reveal our identities," Dante explained.

Words eluded Scott after he heard that. A single Dynasty can shake up the entire city of Starcity with a single stomp of its foot, so the league of assassins itself must be terrifyingly powerful if there are thirteen such dynasties!

"Other than the thirteen dynasties in Chunli, My Lord, we also have branches all over the world. However, I don't know anything specific since my rank is too low."

As Dante's words fell, Scott's shock intensified.

Whoa! They have branches all over the world? That's astounding! I really don't quite understand how a sloppy guy like Dracula could actually be such a mighty figure!

At that very moment, he was anticipating the arrival of the 21st of November. Perhaps I'll know more about the League of assassins at that time!

After his momentary shock, he waved a hand and ordered, "You may all be dismissed. I'll look for you if I need anything."

"Understood!" Dante bowed slightly.

He then left with his men, but Scott remained motionless. His emotions were chaotic for a long time as he was overwhelmed by the sudden identity bestowed upon him.

Meanwhile, Diego and Stephanie hadn't left the Hotel but went to the manager's office on the top floor. It was the Vaquez family's property, so they could go anywhere they wanted.

"Were you serious when you said that to Mr. Reigns just now, darling?" Diego questioned with his eyes glued on Stephanie.

"What are you referring to?"

In response, Stephanie played dumb.

"Drop that act! I know my daughter best. Do you think I'm unaware of your thoughts?"Diego retorted with a smirk.

"Dad, I was just helping him out earlier. How could I possibly have fallen for him when we've just gotten acquainted?"

Stephanie rolled her eyes at him, but a blush stained her cheeks.

"He's quite good. He has above-average looks, and his medical skills are impressive. But I'm just not sure how he fares in other aspects…"

Diego had a good impression of Scott, but medical skills alone weren't enough to be the son-in-law of the Vaquez family. After all, Stephanie was his only child, so he would be handing the businesses of the Vaquez family to her. As such, he had to find someone who could help her manage the company and ensure that his name doesn't get in the mud.
