Greta's stubbornness was outrageous!"Oh, we had some visitors!" At that moment, Bo walked in. He strolled in casually and confidently. The female grandmaster, Elara, followed, her sharp eyes scanning the surroundings for potential threats."Bo, you're here?" Greta's expression softened upon seeing her younger brother."Greta, you haven't eaten yet, have you?" Bo said. "I've brought some food from Regal Court. You should try it out."Bo took the container from Elara and placed various dishes on Greta's desk. It was a well-rounded meal, ranging from salads to steaks."Bo, you're a lifesaver. I've taught you well." Greta smiled, her previous concerns now brushed aside. She was genuinely thankful for her thoughtful brother."Greta, do these guests have any urgent business here?" Bo looked over at Ezra and Eleanor. He recognized them as fellow scions of well-off families, although they weren't exactly close friends."It's all business, but we haven't struck a deal yet," Greta expl

As Bo gave the signal, his bodyguards rushed forward and surrounded Eleanor and Ezra. Their menacing expressions made them look like a group of sharks circling two helpless fish."What do you think you're doing? I warn you not to make any rash moves. I'm from the Welch family, and if you lay a hand on me, you'll pay dearly!" Eleanor sternly warned, her face showing a mix of anger and fear.She hadn't expected Bo to be so unreasonable. It was much better dealing with Greta than with him."Mr. Dawson, calm down. In business, there's no need for hostilities. There's no need to escalate this." Ezra tried to defuse the situation with a forced smile.Bo's status was widely known among the elite circles of Oakvale. He was cherished and protected by the Dawson family, regardless of any mistakes he made. Bo stood on a different level from the young heirs of the prominent families. In other words, even if Bo beat them up today, the Welch and Swanson families wouldn't dare to retaliate.

"That's fantastic!" Greta's face beamed with excitement, and she felt a renewed sense of optimism. She had been fretting about how to deal with the competition and minimize potential losses. However, to her surprise, good news had come their way.The Dawson family already held a prominent position in the pharmaceutical industry, controlling nearly 70 percent of the Oakvale medical market. With their resources and connections, they never struggled to sell their products. That was why the Welch and Swanson families had approached them for a collaboration to promote their Rejuvenaid. But, their greed and reluctance to compromise had caused the negotiations to fail.Now, with the unexpected news from Bo, the Dawson Medical Group was no longer shackled. In fact, this could be an opportunity to go head-to-head with the Welch and Swanson families!"Hold on a sec ..." After the initial excitement, Greta seemed to recall something important. She suddenly asked, "Bo, who are these peopl

Inside a speeding Maserati, Eleanor was seated in the back. She poured herself a glass of red wine, which she chugged down. Her beautiful face was now tainted with anger and bitterness."Those damn Dawson siblings!" Eleanor fumed. "Kicking us out? I'll make them pay for this!""Eleanor, take it easy. Dealing with the Dawson family won't be a cakewalk. Let's not make this worse," Ezra advised."Hmph! We're part of Oakvale's eight great families and a force to be reckoned with! We shouldn't fear them," Eleanor argued."It's not that I fear them; it's just unnecessary to stir up trouble." Ezra shook his head.If the strengths of the Welch and Swanson families combined, it would give them an edge over the Dawsons. But if they faced the Dawsons head-on, it would only result in mutual damage."I still think it's necessary!" Eleanor responded with determination in her eyes. "In a competition of willpower, we should stand our ground. With Rejuvenaid at our disposal, we can use this o

Brooke, who had been standing behind Dustin, broke the silence. Brooke had been watching the situation unfold, but there was little he could do. Even with his impressive medical skills, he couldn't help without the right ingredients."Mr. Shaffer is stable for now, but I can't say for how long. We need to gather the ingredients and make the Sanctifix as soon as possible to cure him fully," Dustin said, concern etched on his face.Using true energy to prolong life was a temporary solution, not a permanent fix. With time, Mr. Shaffer's condition would deteriorate. If they continued on this path, there would be no way out."It's my fault for not being able to find the other two rare herbs," Brooke said, filled with guilt. Despite his reputation in the medical field, he had hoped his connections could help locate the herbs, but he was disappointed."Don't blame yourself, Dr. Busch. Precious herbs can be hard to come by. We can only do what we can and leave the rest to fate." Dustin

An hour later, Dexter slowed down the Land Rover and parked in front of a huge martial arts dojo.The dojo was almost like a school, with various facilities and activities. A stone plaque at the entrance bore the words "Celestial Dojo".The Celestial Dojo belonged to the Celestial Alliance.There were three major factions that reigned the martial world: the Celestial Alliance, the Mystic Arts Order, and the Sword Union.The Celestial Alliance boasted an impressive army of disciples, with a whopping hundred thousand members, most of whom were elites. Among these three factions, the Celestial Alliance stood out for its numbers and tremendous influence.Conversely, the Mystic Arts Order was known for its mysterious and deadly techniques. They were a nightmare to those in the martial world. As for the Sword Union, they were famous for one thing—pure strength!The Sword Union's disciples might be few in number, but they're unbelievably powerful. Their disciples were like supernatu

"What an ignorant young man." Dante shook his head. "You should remember we're not in Southern province but in Oakvale. It's a place teeming with brilliant and gifted individuals. Your meager skills won't cause a ripple here.""Sir Dante, if you're itching for a fight, let's not waste more time. I have a lot on my schedule," Dustin yawned as he spoke, looking sleepy.He had been busy with a multitude of tasks lately. He had been occupied with the reconstruction of Harmony Healers, staff training for Dew Balm production, and keeping his eyes peeled for information on the Emerald Corolla and Iceheart Lotus.His relentless back-and-forth travels had nearly exhausted him. If it weren't because the Fallons could be useful to him, he wouldn't have been bothered with them."You insolent brat!" Dustin's nonchalant behavior angered the Fallons.They've seen plenty of audacious individuals, but nothing like Dustin's type, who didn't take them seriously at all.He was asking for death!

Samson had lost badly. His huge frame created a dent in the wall, and his upper body was stuck inside, rendering him utterly immobile. From a distance, he resembled a piece of artwork hanging on the wall. "What?" The crowd was dumbfounded by the scene they had just witnessed. Their eyes widened in disbelief. When Samson had charged forward, they thought the results were clear. But they didn't expect Samson to be sent flying in such a fashion. They couldn't wrap their head around the unexpected turn of events."What just happened? Samson … lost?""How is that even possible? With Samson's strength, he couldn't have lost to that kid!" "It must have been an accident!"After a momentary silence, the crowd erupted into a heated discussion. Nobody had anticipated the outcome before them. Samson was gifted and highly skilled and was known for his nearly impenetrable defense. The fact that an elite fighter of his caliber couldn't withstand a single strike from Dustin was simply

"Oh? Are we going all out now?" Dustin smirked, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.Mulder, who had advanced to become a grandmaster martial artist through drugs, had a weak foundation. Even after taking the enhanced serum, he still posed no threat to Dustin. If Mulder were a hundred times stronger, he might just barely be able to fight Dustin.As the serum's effects pushed his body to the limit, Mulder suddenly let out a furious roar. His muscles swelled rapidly, and his bones cracked as they expanded. His body grew larger at an alarming rate, and his clothes tore apart under the strain.His six-foot frame stretched to nearly seven feet in mere moments as his body swelled to monstrous proportions. His face twisted fiercely, and his skin darkened as black scales surfaced.With another guttural growl, his roar turned beastlike. He grabbed his shredded shirt and ripped it away, exposing his broad chest covered in dark scales. A faint, eerie sheen flickered across their surface."D

Dustin's words made Mulder frown.Mulder knew all too well that Warrick was the kind of man who had no sense of loyalty or honor. If Warrick could kill his own personal guards without hesitation, what would stop him from killing a stranger? Mulder was certain that the moment things went south, Warrick would be the first to flee. Given the choice, he'd never willingly risk his life as Warrick's sacrificial pawn. But now, there was no turning back.With his undercover identity exposed and him helping Warrick escape, Mulder became a sworn enemy of West Lucozia. His name was now on the most-wanted list.Tonight was their best chance to escape. If they missed it, finding another way out would be nearly impossible.There was only one path left for him—kill whoever stood in his way and make it onto that escape boat."Enough talk, punk. Let's see what you're really made of," Mulder said.After weighing his options, he gritted his teeth and finally decided to draw his longsword. His fig

"You had your chance. Don't blame me for what happens next," Dustin said.With a slight squeeze of his fingers, the steel blades clamped between them shattered with a sharp clang.Before the two Hall of Gods members could even react, Dustin waved his hand.The two men were sent flying as if they'd been hit by a truck, hurtling over 30 feet through the air. Blood sprayed from their mouths and noses before they hit the ground. They were critically injured and on the verge of death.Dustin slowly turned his head and looked at the man who had just tried to ambush him.The man glanced at the broken sword in his hand, then at Dustin, who looked utterly unfazed. He hesitated for a split second—then bolted.With a powerful leap, he dove straight for the sea. He knew Dustin's strength was on a completely different level. There was no chance of outrunning him on land, so the only hope was to disappear into the water.It might have worked—if not for what happened next.Just before he hit

"You're not a fisherman? Who the hell are you?"Mulder's guard shot up the moment he got a clear look at the young man's face.Fishermen who spent their days at sea were usually tanned from the sun, but this one had a fair complexion. It felt a little strangeNoticing something was off, the men behind Mulder drew their blades and fixed their sharp gazes on the fisherman.The so-called fisherman standing guard wasn't just anyone—it was Dustin, who had been waiting for them all along.Since his plan was set in motion, he'd been stationed there from morning until midnight. After what felt like an eternity, his targets had finally arrived."Isn't it obvious? I'm here to capture you."Dustin rose from the deck and rolled his shoulders before speaking in an even tone. "If you don't want to die, surrender now. Otherwise, it'll be too late.""Watch out! It could be an ambush." Mulder swiftly pulled out his dagger. His sharp gaze scanned the surroundings for any sign of hidden troops.

As night fell, Warrick sat motionless in his room as he tried to calm his mind through meditation. He had always been able to clear his mind with ease. But tonight, no matter how hard he tried, focus eluded him. A restless unease settled over him and refused to let him relax.Nearly two hours passed before Mulder's scouts finally returned. This time, they brought good news.The smuggling route they had scouted was completely safe, with no signs of an ambush. The West Lucozia army had yet to discover this potential escape route.Once everything was confirmed, Mulder let out a breath of relief. Warrick, too, finally felt the weight lift from his chest."Since the route is safe, we should set out immediately to avoid any unexpected complications." Warrick said. He had no intention of waiting any longer. He was a wanted man, and every moment in West Lucozia increased his chances of capture. There was no telling when the army might surround him. Only by escaping to Thaloria would he

After a hearty meal, the burly Warrick sprawled lazily onto the bed and dozed off. He slept soundly till dusk, lost in a deep dream. When the sky was painted in brilliant hues of the setting sun, only then did he wake up leisurely.The exhaustion from the previous day seemed to have melted away. He felt invigorated, refreshed, and in high spirits.At that moment, Leigh had already set the table in the hall with quiet efficiency. Compared to the first meal, this spread was far more lavish.At the center of the table sat a whole roasted pig. Its golden-brown skin glistened with a rich, crispy sheen. The mouthwatering aroma filled the room, making it impossible not to crave a bite.Warrick had never been one for formalities. The moment he saw the feast, he didn't hesitate. He strode over, took a seat, and started digging in. He ate with zero restraint without sparing a single thought for Mulder, who was still out gathering intel.After a while, half of the roast pig was gone. His fac

"Who is it?" Warrick's grip tightened around the hilt of his steel blade. His eyes, sharp and alert, were like those of a startled predator—full of caution and menace.For the past few days, he had been on edge, like a cornered animal. He barely slept and was constantly on high alert, fearing danger would strike at any moment.The door slowly creaked open. An elderly man with gray hair stepped inside with a tray of fruit and pastries in both hands.Before he could even register what was happening, a flash of cold steel appeared, and Warrick's blade was at the elderly man's throat.The elderly man trembled with fear. The tray slipped from his grasp, and fruit and pastries scattered on the floor."Easy, Sir Prescott. He's one of us." Mulder stepped forward and pressed down on the flat of Warrick's blade with a finger. He smiled and explained, "His name's Leigh Houston. He's mute and has served the Hall of Gods for years. He keeps watch over this tunnel entrance and has never slipp

"Here's the problem—even if we know Warrick's intentions, how do we stop him?" Austin asked.Right now, Warrick had already disappeared without a trace. Austin's team hadn't even come close enough to get a hold of him, so there was no way to track him down.West Lucozia's vast territory and resources made it impossible to seal off every exit route completely. While it might be manageable in the short term, prolonging such an operation would significantly impact West Lucozia's economy. Wasting resources on a single fugitive wasn't a wise move."Warrick is a wanted man across the entire city. There's no way he's leaving through official channels. He'll have to sneak his way out," Dustin analyzed. He continued, "According to the maritime charts, if he's traveling from West Lucozia to Artea, he'll have to go through Thaloria. That's our lead. Get someone on it immediately—find out how many smuggling routes there are from West Lucozia to Thaloria.""Got it. I'll get it done right away

"Damn you, Mulder! You've really screwed me over this time." Axel gnashed his teeth as rage boiled inside him. Mulder's betrayal hadn't just implicated Axel's sister, but it had also dragged Axel himself into the mess.Mulder had climbed the ranks to assistant chief of the City Defenders in just a few years, and Axel had played a major role in backing him.Now that this mess had blown up, Axel was right in the middle of it. No matter how he tried to explain, he was going to take the fall for it."Everyone, follow me! Let's capture that traitor."After learning Mulder's escape route, Axel waved his hand and led his enforcement team out at full speed.He had already messed up by failing to capture Warrick, which was a serious lapse in duty. Now, with his brother-in-law openly rebelling against them, things had only gotten worse.If Axel didn't turn this situation around and bring those traitors to justice, his days as an enforcement team captain were numbered.After a thorough s
