Jennifer Mitchell…

The description of her did not need to be that long. She had blond hair, green eyes and was a beautiful woman that most of the world could not help but admire, a world-class actor with nine Hollywood movies behind her.

Her appearance and career were also well-known. She had the power to attract and persuade people to follow her. It was often called aura or charisma, and Jennifer Mitchell had it.

In addition, she had her own stubbornness and style. She was not just charismatic, she had an aura that could make her one of the most brilliant stars on the stage of Hollywood.

It was impossible to become a global actor without a clear sense of self-worth and stubbornness to adhere to her ideals. Her passions were intense, unrivaled, and of course, they did not change much in the monster era.

She had charisma and the aura to lead people, and she never intended to live her life because she was not satisfied with the unfairness. That was why she became the leader of the Resistance, a so-called Free Liberation Army leader in Texas, which was in the hands of the Pentagon.

Would Jennifer Mitchell look sad, like a pathetic heroine in a movie, to an Asian man who she had never seen before, even though he had shown an absurd ability?

Of course, she wouldn’t

“You said Kim, didn’t you?” Ting! She took out a grenade she had hidden in a pocket between the shabby wrinkles of her skirt, and she pulled out the safety pin at the same time. She asked, keeping the safety handle depressed, “Kim, what do you want?”

“The occupation of Dallas City by the Resistance.”

“Why are you helping us?”

“Don’t get it wrong.” Of course, Kim Tae-hoon was not a man to be daunted in this situation. “This is not a negotiation or a deal.”

Rather, the opposite, Kim Tae-hoon’ enemies so far had been too great to be frightened by a grenade. If he was really scared and lowered his posture here, it would be an insult to the enemies who had died by Kim Tae-hoon.

“I’ll tell you again. I don’t intend to negotiate, or make a deal.”

Crucially, Kim Tae-hoon had many experiences dealing with groups like the Resistance. So at this moment, he did not intend to negotiate or deal with them. What he wanted to do was a one-sided demand. To put it bluntly, it was a threat.

Jennifer Mitchell’s eyes flashed sharply at Kim Tae-hoon. But Kim Tae-hoon’s eyes were overwhelming enough to make her nervous, who had been fearless against even against the Pentagon.

‘Where on Earth did he come from…?’

In front of Kim Tae-hoon, Jennifer Mitchell, who had great charisma and aura, could not show her hostility right away. Instead of getting angry, she put her brain to work. She acknowledged that her opponent was out of the ordinary, and she began to consider getting something more advantageous in this situation.

“Did you say that you are going to wake up the Black Dragon? Don’t be ridiculous. If you wake up the Black Dragon, Texas, including Dallas, will be destroyed.”

She got to the point. The most shocking and key thing Kim Tae-hoon had said was that he would wake up the Black Dragon sleeping in Eagle Mountain Lake!

“Please don’t think that we didn’t do it because we didn’t know about it.”

What the Resistance forces of Texas were pursuing was not like overthrowing the regime. It was to prevent the unjust, inhumane, immoral Pentagon from hurting anyone. Of course, the Texas Resistance had never thought of waking the Black Dragon just to hurt the Pentagon.

Using the Black Dragon to drive out the Pentagon would be like bringing a tiger home to deal with a local mad dog. It was not a good idea for anyone who called Texas their home. If anyone wanted to wake the Black Dragon, the Resistance would be willing to hold hands with the Pentagon to stop them. From that point of view, Kim Tae-hoon, who was going to wake up the Black Dragon rather than the Pentagon, was more dangerous.

Kim Tae-hoon answered her question with a cool expression. “The role of the Black Dragon is to paralyze Dallas with the fear for a while.”

Jennifer Mitchell asked back, with a ridiculous laugh. “You can kill the Black Dragon any time you like it, as I see your babbling about like that way?” In her cross-question, Kim Tae-hoon lightly spread his right hand instead of answering.

“Ugh!” At that moment, Jennifer Mitchell’s grip on the grenade faltered.

Thud! The grenade fell to the floor.

‘Oh, no!’ Jennifer Mitchell was surprised, and the people around her were shocked. At that moment, lives flashed before people’s eyes.

The grenade that fell to the floor was sucked into Kim Tae-hoon’s hands. Kim grabbed the grenade tightly and squeezed. The grenade crumpled like an empty can of drink.

Three seconds later, there was rumbling bang, and a small explosion broke out in Kim’s hand. Kim Tae-hoon’s hand was covered with the scales of the Dragon, and his eyes were slitted like a Dragon’s. It was the Draconian mode. The explosion of the grenade was just a minor nuisance to Kim Tae-hoon, who wielded a power that was mighty and transcendent. Kim Tae-hoon kept his Draconian mode and unfolded his palm covered with scales.

The grenade fragments tinkled to the floor. Nobody could sigh or even show surprise in front of the scene. It was so shocking it made them impossible to judge it rationally.

In the stillness, Kim Tae-hoon said quietly. “A couple of days from now, at 11 pm, the Black Dragon will appear in Dallas> There may a slight error on the time, so take it and prepare.”

Kim Tae-hoon looked at the bartender for the last time and said, “Hot water and a mug.”

The first thing the Pentagon did after it took over Texas was to replace the mayors of Texas’ major cities with those who suited their tastes. In the process, the Pentagon was supported by many influential, experienced, and talented people. It was so natural. It was like holding some of the absolute power that Texas would become the center of the Americas, and even of the world, in the future.

The Pentagon, furthermore, only admitted kings and slaves. Being the owner of the city under the Pentagon was virtually the same as being a king. In this background, Bean Cohen, who had become the Mayor of Dallas, was, of course, one of the most influential figures in the Pentagon.

‘I am not satisfied with only Dallas.’ In addition, Mayor Bean Cohen had no intention of being satisfied with his position now. There was also more prey!

‘If I eat up to Houston, Texas is practically mine.’ In fact, Houston was not very attractive, geographically and economically, in the present situation.

‘If I eat up only the institutes there…’ Instead, Houston had the most famous state-of-the-art research institute in the world, NASA. The Johnson Space Center, one of NASA’s affiliated organizations, was also located in Houston.

‘Now it’s NASA that’s going to develop a new era.’ In the present era, there would be a question of what use rocket scientists were, but if they were smart, including the Pentagon, they had to notice them. Rather, it could be said there was no one as important as NASA researchers in the present age.

This was a characteristic of space research. Studying the universe was like studying the way of survival in the unknown future of a terrible, harsh universe. In a way, NASA’s researchers were the ones who fired rockets at the moon with computers that were worse than people’s smartphones. They were the best brains to face the monsters and the unknown times beyond.

‘If they’re all in my hands, it’s not impossible for me to devour the Pentagon.’

That was why Mayor Bean Cohen coveted Houston. If he had the oil fields of Texas, the countless Hunters and combat weapons gathered here, and the manpower and technology to face the future, he would no longer be afraid. And it was not long before it might be possible.

‘Not long. By the end of the year. There’s nothing to worry about. There’s nothing to fear.’ Mayor Bean Cohen’s plan was making steady progress. There was nothing to fear now.

‘But what the hell…’ In that situation, the Mayor of Bean Cohen was feeling creepy all over his body. It was so strange.

‘I’ve never felt this way before… No, I think I’ve had this feeling before…’

What was even more strange was that Mayor Bean Cohen felt that this strange sensation was not the first time. It was not the first time that his whole body felt creepy, and his spine was cold without knowing anything. It was not the first time.

But if this experience was not the first time, he should remember when. In the end, Mayor Bean Cohen had to frown while he was groping for memories.

‘What the hell is it?’ The frowning face of Mayor Bean Cohen began to spread. He looked beyond surprised and startled, to pale.

‘No, no way. The Black Dragon?’ He remembered the monster that had made Texas a crucible of fear and despair in only one morning.

Keuooo!

The Black Dragon appeared in Dallas.

The appearance of the Black Dragon, which crushed human reason and common sense by just appearing in the sky, was sudden and intense.

Soon after, it slowly came down to the ground, flapping its wings, and the buildings of Dallas were buffeted by the winds. When it reached ten meters above the ground, the Black Dragon stopped flapping its wings.

The body of the Black Dragon, ten meters high, created a shock wave that everyone could feel throughout Dallas.

Keuooo!

With its neck raised high, the fear that it had vomited to the sky left all the living things in Dallas City just barely alive. Almost everyone in Dallas fell to the ground, mindless with fear.

“Uh…”

“Run, run away—”

Only a few people with high Energy rank did not faint, but that was all. Even if reason and thinking remained, they could not hope to do anything.

There was only one person on Earth who could withstand the Dragonfear without any preparation or preparation.

In other words, only those who had prepared could move.

“Hoo-oo!” That way why the Texas Resistance, after long sighs and some trembling, could bear the Dragonfear. Jennifer Mitchell was one of them.

“Move.” So they began to move to regain Dallas City, where everything had stopped. At that time, the only man on earth who could stand in front of the Dragonfear without any preparation was facing the Dragon. That was enough to stop the Black Dragon, who could melt the whole city of Dallas with its deadly poisonous breath.

Krrr… It was amazing. A monster that could not be confronted by anything was warily watching a man who stood in front of its fear. Frozen with vigilance, it could not move at all.

Krrr… It just stared at the man with its own eyes, the man with two swords on his back.

However, the man didn’t care much about the Black Dragon’s attention, vigilance, and anger. Instead, the man was only looking at a watch on his wrist.

At last, when ten minutes had passed, Kim Tae-hoon confirmed the time and looked at the Black Dragon, not the clock.

At the same time, behind Kim Tae-hoon’s back, three beads made of blue thunder, red flame, and blue ice appeared, sparking with power.

The Black Dragon hunt began.
