Ralph stared at the live feed, watching his foolish son lay bare every secret of the taint source, and his anger flared out of control.

Gillian snapped sharply, “Turn himself in? You never trusted Merrick from the very start. He is completely innocent.”

How could a father act like this?

Her temper finally boiled over. “I even wonder if you have been parasitized, too. Please leave the 9th Legion compound at once.”

Ralph’s expression turned icy. “Watch your tone, Captain Sterling. I hold the rank of Supreme Leader of the Capital Planet Legion. You are only a lowly captain on the Outer Planet. I have the authority to execute you on the spot for disrespecting a superior-just as you executed Omar of the Phoenixkin under the name Mrs. Cole.”

Ralph held up his official medal to prove his identity.

Fifty years earlier, the beastmen of the Outer Planet had been drained and ravaged by raw taint. The territory officially fell under Capital Planet’s jurisdiction. Still, the Capital Planet government had always ignored Wasteland City, letting it struggle and survive on its own.

No one had guessed that Ralph was the reclusive Supreme Leader from Capital Planet.

Shock washed over Gillian.

He was the Supreme Leader? Then, in my past life, when Wasteland City collapsed, why did he never send reinforcements? He just let Merrick die deep in the taint zone. Why would he abandon his own son? Do Merrick and Maddox know the truth?

The tiny Blue Phoenix perched on Gillian’s shoulder flew upward instantly to scan the authenticity of the medal. “Medal verification: one hundred percent genuine. Greetings, Supreme Leader.”

The badge was real.

All the beastman soldiers outside the metal door dropped to one knee. “Greetings, Supreme Leader.”

Gillian had never expected Ralph to hold this highest office.

She stood frozen, stunned by the revelation.

Elara tugged Gillian down to kneel beside her.

Refusing to kneel before the Supreme Leader counted as a serious offense.

The line of succession for the Capital Planet Supreme Leader was unusual. A hundred years ago, after the taint began poisoning the Outer Planet, the great noble clans united to elect a supreme ruler.

A new leader was appointed every fifty years. Each successor was chosen privately and handed power directly by the previous Supreme Leader.

To safeguard his life, the Supreme Leader always wore a mask.

Over 10 billion beastmen lived on Capital Planet, and more than 6 billion on the Outer Planet.

Only the core inner circle of noble families knew the Supreme Leader’s true face. No one else had ever learned his identity.

Fear crept over Gillian and Elara. If Ralph were the Supreme Leader, would he kill every witness here today to keep his secret?

Would none of them make it out alive?

Gillian could feel the thick, murderous intent rolling off him. He regarded every life in this room as completely disposable.

I cannot afford to fight him head-on.

Gillian said cautiously, “Supreme Leader, Merrick is not here. He is deep at the taint source. I cannot shut down the live broadcast. You will need to travel there to find him yourself.”

Ralph let out a cold laugh. “Do you take me for a frail old man?”

His frigid gaze swept toward Elara and Lily. Both of them felt the crushing weight of his killing aura, and a powerful urge to run washed over them.

He said, “I have no time to waste on delays. If you refuse to make him end the stream, I will kill these two behind you first.”

Ralph was overwhelmingly strong. Even if the three of them joined forces, they would not stand a chance.

Gillian held Lily tightly, afraid the little flower beast’s own killing instinct would draw Ralph’s

attention.

She had sensed disaster the moment Ralph forced his way into the base.
