He could not address Anna directly as the young master. The other two hesitated momentarily before giving a brief greeting. "Greetings, Madam Delvey."Anna snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, I thought all of you had forgotten me."The others' faces darkened, especially Pat, who said coldly, "We're calling you out of respect for the elder Holy Master. Don't push your luck!"Anna was not angry, but Henry's face turned icy. The terrifying killing intent in him nearly erupted. Anna worried Henry might act impulsively, so she quickly signaled him to hold back. It was not the time to reveal their strength yet.Henry managed to control himself as his mother warned him, and his killing intent faded quickly. He hid his reaction so well that no one noticed, except for Martin, who was momentarily stunned by Henry's killing intent. Martin thought Henry must be incredibly powerful, though clearly not strong enough to challenge Kurt, who could even stand against Tim.Pat sensed the unsettling kill
"Sorry for the delay, everyone. We got caught up with some things," the two said, looking splendidly dressed.Kurt wore a purple robe and carried himself with a commanding presence. He was reminiscent of how Calder used to dress, which made Anna's expression sour.When they appeared, Jensen's eyes immediately fixed on them, eager to see what they got. Kurt had left a strong impression on him, making Jensen feel he could not beat him then.However, after receiving help from Henry with the Demonic Clan Pill, Jensen advanced into peak-stage Grandmaster and became incredibly powerful. He was eager to find a worthy opponent, and the Holy Envoys did not impress him.His gaze caught the attention of the Stoke brothers, who both noticed his impressive strength. They sensed that Jensen had advanced into peak-stage Grandmaster and was formidable.They had not expected such a strong opponent from the Demonblood Clan. Even though Jensen did not use the methods from the Demonblood Clan, his de
"That's why I've invited all of you to this Holy Clan Conference!" Kurt said.With a slight smile, he said, "And don't worry. I didn't bring you here to make you all submit to me."Instead, I want us to choose the strongest among us to lead everyone forward. In other words, it's fair—everyone has a chance."Ava and others quietly shook their heads. It was clear that Kurt saw himself as unbeatable, with no one able to challenge his claim to the position of Holy Master.The so-called fairness was just a pretense, with the rest set up as mere cannon fodder. The others shared that sentiment, but with Kurt's overwhelming strength, they could do nothing. If they did not attend that meeting, they would be doomed. By showing up, they at least had a slim chance of survival.Anna frowned and asked, "You said everyone has a chance. How will the Holy Master be chosen?"Kurt replied solemnly, "That's a great question, Master Delvey. To ensure fairness and transparency, and so everyone's satis
Everyone was momentarily stunned by Henry's words.'Did he say he came to be the leader? It's utterly absurd!'Martin was already in a panic. The moment Cesar challenged Kurt, he thought, 'It's over! We're doomed! Master, please don't say anything more!'To his shock, Cesar's next words were even more outrageous—claiming he was there to become the Holy Master. It was as if he did not care about anyone, not even the Heartless Clan.The generals of Solomon Palace Group who came with Martin were equally bewildered. 'Is this our master?' they wondered.'He's courting death!'Even Ava and the others from the Flower Clan were taken aback. Instead of Henry, the prodigy Anna mentioned, Cesar was the one who did not know his limits.They had sensed Cesar's strength, which was at the late-stage Grandmaster. Usually, that would make him an impressive figure. However, among so many powerful Grandmasters, he was nothing.Emily, however, could not help but admire him.Even Kurt was momentar
"Yes!" Anna nodded.Ava was stunned, unable to comprehend what had just happened.'Wait! Did Anna not summon Henry because she had chosen someone else? So she chose Cesar? But what can a late-stage Grandmaster like Cesar possibly accomplish? Is he merely a sacrificial pawn?'"What about you, Master Santosh? Do you also support Master Murray?" Kurt asked coldly, his gaze sharp and filled with a subtle menace as if she would face the inevitable retaliation of the Heartless Clan if she ever admitted.Ava's face turned pale, wavering in indecision. She glanced at Anna, seeking some form of guidance. However, Anna remained silent, only giving her a nod.Anna was signaling Ava to support the Solomon Palace Group.Kurt noticed this exchange. A murderous intent flashed in his eyes as he said coldly, "Master Santosh, you should think carefully before making your decision. Especially considering that you represent all the beautiful disciples of the Flower Clan."The implication was clear—
Everyone turned their gazes toward Henry, wondering if Cesar was Jensen's master. The idea seemed so far-fetched that it was almost laughable.Ava was especially taken aback. She had gauged Jensen's strength and knew he was at least as strong as herself, possibly even stronger. Yet, he claimed to be Cesar's subordinate.Even Martin was dumbfounded. He had also tried to assess everyone's strengths present, and Jensen's power was beyond his understanding, definitely stronger than his own. The thought that someone like Jensen would follow Cesar seemed absurd.Kurt's face twisted in anger at the insult, and had it not been for Jensen's formidable strength, he might have already struck him down. He said coldly, "Master Young, watch your words.""Did I say something wrong?" Jensen retorted dismissively."No, you didn't. Master Stokes is indeed quite ignorant and full of himself," Henry said.The two of them gang up and infuriate Kurt, who let out a furious snort.Not far behind, Pat
They had not expected Jensen to be that terrifying; his strength was nearly on par with the Stokes brothers.That realization caused a surge of hope within Crowley.Ava felt the same, watching Jensen's overwhelming display of power with growing excitement. It meant they might still have a chance.Kurt's expression darkened—Jensen's strength had exceeded his expectations. It seemed that even he might not be any much stronger.With his intense aura, Jensen stood still and declared, "Today, I'll kill anyone who touches my master!"Kurt and his group looked grim, and Kurt spoke in a deep voice, "Master Young, with your strength, why do you follow a weakling as your master? Tell me—what did he use to threaten you? I'll help you deal with it.""Ignorant fool!" Jensen spat out the words with disdain.Kurt was utterly enraged. He did not want to provoke such a formidable opponent, so he held back."Master Young, it seems you've chosen a path of no return. If that's the case, I'll put a
As soon as those words were spoken, everyone from the Heartless Clan was taken aback.Did Cesar accept the challenge? Had they misjudged him?Ava and the members of the Flower Clan were even more incredulous. At that moment, they realized that Anna's trump card was not Henry but that unfathomable Cesar. Regardless of his strength, just having someone as formidable as Jensen as his subordinate was impressive enough.Furthermore, he had accepted the challenge, stepping up to face Kurt.Ava was eager to see just how strong Cesar was. Anna and Emily also had a glimmer of excitement in their eyes—they, too, were keen to witness Henry's capabilities.The only one who seemed disappointed was Jensen, who had been looking forward to a battle.Martin's face was pale, but seeing the confidence on Henry's face, he did not dare voice his concerns and could only pray in silence. Everything that had happened that day was far beyond his expectations.The two generals standing behind him were eq
