Master Mograine stepped out before finally speaking.“Are you telling us he’s Shepard after getting some random bystander?“Who can even prove that you’re telling the truth?!”Harvey merely smiled.“I don’t need to do that at all.“Shepard will come clean with everything.Then, Harvey glanced at Shepard.“The floor’s yours.“It’s up to you whether you can save your life, or not.”Shepard cracked a smile.“Don’t worry. We’re working together now.“I have no intentions of backing down.Then, he took a step forward before squinting around him.“Tsk! Tsk! Most of the prominent figures of Gangnam are here, I see!“What familiar faces we have here!“Not bad! Not bad at all!”“Enough blabbering!Blaine showed a horrible expression when he coldly glared at Shepard.“How can you prove you’re from Evermore?“And not just some actor that Harvey hired?”“You know this, Young Master John,” replied Shepard.“You know just what Evermore has done since ancient times.“Kings and g
Shepard let out a sigh.“I can’t prove that I’m Shepard…“But I believe that you will soon enough.”“I’m going to help? Dream on!” exclaimed Master Mograine coldly.Shepard just smiled.“Everyone knows other than the head of the Immortal Pavilion, there are also the four elders.“Master Mograine is the least of them all.”Everyone scoffed.“You must be naive to think this would help you! That’s common knowledge!”“Don’t rush.“I’m not done here.“Everyone knows there are The Four Elders since ancient times.“But not many people know the elders represent the four most prominent families in the Immortal Pavilion!“Master Morgraine belonged to the John family. Despite not being a part of the Immortal Pavilion’s families, she still remained as one of the elders. Is that not odd to you people?”The underworld people lightly nodded. What Shepard said was the truth, after all.“That said, the Immortal Pavilion has one special rule. With a significant contribution, even someone
“You…Master Mograine’s eyes twitched.“I don’t believe you know!”“0.1 ounces of eucommia leaves, 0.3 ounces of tangerine peels, and a snow rose…”“Enough!Master Morgraine’s expression instantly darkened.“Don’t say anymore!“You’ll die for exposing the Immortal Pavilion’s formula!”Everyone was showing strange looks after hearing Master Mograine’s enraged words.‘Is she starting to panic?’“Evermore has a deep influence. Who knows if you people have spies planted in the Immortal Pavilion?” exclaimed Blaine John.“If there are, then it’s only natural that you know the formula!“You’re trying to slander my aunt just because of that?“Are you joking?“Do you think anyone here would even believe you?”Ibuki Masato stood before letting out a cold chuckle.“Of course, nobody would believe him!“He can’t even prove his identity!”Shepard gave a chuckle.“Since you don’t believe me, I’ll say something to make you do.“Since ancient times, only the most capable of the Mas
“Evermore’s been working with the John family?”Shepard smiled at Karina Joyner.“Specifically, Blaine’s working together with the Coraal Revered.”Blaine John’s eyes twitched.“Enough nonsense!“I heard that Evermore has ten of the Revered and the Twelve Earthly Branches!“Both sides would never get involved with each other’s businesses!“How would you know if I’m working with the Coraal Revered?!“Besides, if you’re truly from Evermore, why would you intentionally reveal all this?!”Shepard smiled.“Generally speaking, I wouldn’t know about it either.“Even if I did, I wouldn’t mention anything.“That said, you’ve been working with her to snuff me out!“If you succeed, the John family would completely take over Golden Sands, maybe even the entirety of Gangnam, with Evermore’s help.“The John family would simply allow Evermore to invade Gangnam after that!“Evermore would then give the family, you, the greatest benefit possible!“My position!“I’d die a horrible death
Harvey York clapped his hands to get everyone’s attention.Then, he folded his arms before stepping forward.“We have all the proof we need, Young Master John.“Do you require anything else?”Blaine John stood still as he looked around.He did not refute the accusations, nor was he enraged.Only a cold glare could be seen in his eyes.“There’s nothing else to explain.“That’s exactly how it is.“But, so what?“Do you think you can do anything to me just because you’re Longmen’s young master?Then, Blaine glanced at Damon John.“I’m sorry, Father.“I didn’t expect everything to be exposed here.“I apologize.“That said, I’ll deal with the situation myself.“Your rise to power will not be affected in any way.“The John family will remain.”‘What?!’A sudden chill came to everyone’s spine after hearing those words.An unspeakable sense of murderous aura seeped out, making anyone shudder.Damon’s heart instinctively skipped a beat.“What do you mean, Blaine?!“How da
Harvey narrowed his eyes.This wasn’t his first time going against Blaine. However, he never expected Blaine to harbor such high ambitions.‘Ruling for the rest of eternity? He’s trying to be king! At this point, he’s no different than a warlord!’ he thought. “The king’s father?!” Damon said. His expression twisted into something horrible. “Are you saying that if I listen to you, and let you handle everything…I’d just end up being a king’s father in the future?!”Blaine crossed his arms, smiling.“That’s right. After all, your ambition is too small. You can’t hope to lead the family.“But I’m different!“I can raise the family to the peak! When that happens, you can have whatever you want! Isn’t that great?“Let me give you a piece of advice.“Don’t go against me, and don’t drag me down either. Just watch and learn.”“Blaine!” Kairi snarled, her expression ugly. “Some ambition you have! You want to be king? Do you think your family is capable of achieving that?! Wake up
Everyone’s eyes were glowing after they heard Blaine’s words.They stared at Blaine, then at Harvey, looking as if they were making a tough decision.Harvey frowned; he had seen too many princes and young masters in his life. Despite that, Blaine was the only one brave enough to come up with this idea.He scrutinized Blaine for a moment, then waved his hand to stop the people around him from doing anything.“Do you know what you’re saying, Blaine? You’re planning to rebel together with the John family and all these people,” he said. Blaine smiled.“Since ancient times, heroes are born through chaos!” he said haughtily. “As of right now, five strong countries are looking at Country H with ulterior motives.“Mongolia, the country dependent on Country H, is currently in a dispute against Altruria.“This country’s sacred martial arts training grounds, the five hidden families, and the top ten families are completely detached from each other.“Country H is surrounded by enemies!
Crack!Blaine took a step forward, and his fierce aura spread out. The ground in front of him cracked.“Tell me that again! I dare you!” he roared.“I said that you’re no match against Emery,” Harvey said.“You think you’re being discreet, hiding your strength while planning ahead. You paid a huge price just to become a God of War…“But do you think that you can rule just because of that? How naive can you get?”Everyone froze after hearing Harvey’s words. They looked at Blaine in fear.‘No wonder he’s so confident! He’s already a God of War!‘The young master of the John family, a God of War, and the new Shepard of Evermore…‘He truly has the right to rise to power if he was able to achieve all that!’Many were thinking of standing with Blaine at this very moment. Karina and Ibuki secretly made a gesture; naturally, they were planning to support Blaine with all their might.“These might not be enough, but the Locke family values me!” Blaine said.“The Five Royal Families s
