The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 6163
Yegor looked at Xitlaly and asked, "Are you really engaged, young lady?"
Xitlaly nodded and answered, "Yes, but it was only a verbal agreement."
Yegor frowned and asked again, "Then did my son force you to be with him?"
Xitlaly denied decisively, "No. James brought US together, and we both willingly started this relationship."
Yegor asked sternly, "Did James force you into it?”
Xitlaly shook her head and replied hurriedly, "No. When he introduced US, he was unaware I was already engaged. I hid it from
them."
Mattaniah intervened, saying, "It was just a verbal agreement, and there wasn't an official wedding certificate."
He turned to Joaquin and said coldly, "You're a talented powerhouse of our sect and shouldn't be causing a scene here. Leave
immediately."
Mattaniah was set on clinging to Skynet, even if he had to forcefully suppress his own.
Quartney sensed things were about to get out of hand and hurriedly pulled Joaquin aside. Then, she said, "Let's go. Stop being
stubborn."
Joaquin refused, "No. Even if it was only a verbal agreement, I still recognize her as my betrothed."
Mattaniah immediately had a murderous aura after hearing Joaquin's words.
Quartney could sense Mattaniah's hostility and quickly tugged at Joaquin, saying, "Don't be stubborn! It'll be the end of you if you
keep this up. We won’t be able to stand against..."
Truett stepped forward, looked at Joaquin, and said, "Wait. Xitlaly isn't an object and isn't yours to claim. Who she marries is up
to her, not you. You can't use your power to force her."
"Fine," Joaquin squinted and said, "We’ve been already engaged for a long time, right, Xitlaly? We're childhood sweethearts and
grew up cultivating together..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xitlaly had already walked over to Truett and held his hand.
"Our engagement was an agreement between our parents. In the past, I thought about accepting my fate because of our family's
relationship with the lustus Sect.
"However, during the years we went out training together, we've encountered various dangerous situations. You never took care
of me and always escaped first. I always made a narrow escape on my own. I was so disappointed in you.
"After that, I made a bet with our Grand Patriarch. If I can reach the Yuraeceon Daelm Rank's Ninth Tribulation’s peak within
three epochs, I have the right to choose my husband."
Mattaniah nodded, saying, "Yes. She did indeed make a bet with me."
Xitlaly looked at Joaquin and said, "I’ve already reached the peak of the Yuraeceon Daelm Rank's Ninth Tribulation. Regardless
of whether I met Truett, I would’ve chosen to void our engagement."
Joaquin laughed furiously and sneered, "You're a vain woman greedy for power. You're only with him because of his status as
Skynet's young master, and think it'll benefit you. Is that why you're trying to void the marriage at all costs?
"Even if you marry into Skynet, you'll just become a slave to them. All of them are humans. They are the most cunning, vicious,
and pretentious beings to exist..."
"Joaquin," Truett interrupted him, saying, "I used to admire your willfulness, but I do not appreciate your foul language."
Joaquin sneered, "Ha! You're just a piece of shit in the middle grade of the Yuraeceon Daelm Rank's Ninth Tribulation.
Meanwhile, I'm at the Yuraeceon Daelm Rank's Ninth Tribulation's peak. Just because your father is the leader of Skynet, you
think you can look down on me? Is that all there is to you?"
Truett squinted and said, "If you put it that way, let's have a duel to determine who's stronger. We'll fight till one of US is dead."
Joaquin laughed and sneered, "You're challenging me with your strength? Sure, I’ll accept the challenge. However, if you’re
killed, your father...”
Truett interrupted, saying, "My father will not interfere. Life and death are up to fate. I will fight this battle on my own.”
"Your words don't count," Joaquin turned to Yegor and said, "I need to hear it from him."
