As Santiago reached out to Sean…Alexander, Amber, and their companions had made their way back to the Phoenix Grand Hotel.Stepping into the presidential suite on the top floor, Amber gave Alexander a knowing nod before helping the still-petrified Bermita into the en-suite bathroom for a much-neede
Half an hour later, they were on Twilight Avenue, where the dimly lit backstreets came alive.That was the stomping ground of Sean, the Gun King.The weak light from the street lamps barely made a dent in the chaos of the streets where walls were plastered with nonsensical graffiti. At the mouth of
A parking lot turned into a graveyard, not a soul spared?Sean bit down hard, his hand inching toward the sleek black pistol strapped to his leg.That gun was his lifeline.Since arriving in Phoenix City and battling titans from across the globe, his lightning-fast draw has downed countless warriors
Alexander was gone, and Aaron's crew quickly fell in step behind him.The silence in the sprawling underground lot was deafening, the breaths of those left behind sounding sharp and intrusive.A chilling hush had settled."Sean? Sean?" Time seemed to stretch on before one of the faction leaders must
The line went dead.Santiago stood there, petrified, his hand clutching the phone, shaking ever so slightly.It was not fear that shook him—it was pure fury.Back when Twilight Avenue was a no-go zone for outsiders, Sean's influence was middling at best. It was the Quain family's backing that allowe
The Quain family faced dark clouds looming overhead.However, the overseas branch of New Chesire Group presented a stark contrast. Since the start of the workday at 8 a.m., numerous oriental merchants had gathered, making it seem like a bustling marketplace."Miss Chesire, it's a pleasure to see you
Alexander guessed right.At this moment, in the Quain family estate, Santiago looked at the succession of withdrawal notices in front of him. His face turned ashen, his entire body chilled with anger.Everything had gone wrong.Although Radnor had mentioned that these merchants had called and reques
The two peak Martial Overlords made their move without any need for concealment. Setting out from the Quain family estate, they made no attempt at disguise. Though both were blinded, it did not hinder their movements. They proceeded openly along the main street of Phoenix City, heading straight to
"Kill!" As Alexander stepped onto the Empyrean Slope, a monstrous wave of killing intent crashed into his mind."Hmph, you think you're the only one fierce?" he muttered coldly, unleashing his own killing intent to counter the assault.He was the Temple Lord Kane, a man who had tread through mountai
At Battleforge Summit, a place where peril lurked at every turn.As the group continued their ascent, they lost a few more members. The ancient battlefield was riddled with deadly traps and poisonous remnants. The pools along the way harbored creatures so aggressive, it was clear they were not of mo
"Ah…" Alexander yawned, waiting patiently. Without a proper map, he would probably take half a day searching for directions. Battleforge Summit, though seemingly small, had a complex terrain.Time was slipping away, and Maxwell and Crimson Wyrm Master finally reached an agreement. The two-meter-wide
Early in the next morning, Maxwell's group of 40—the weakest among them a Lord of War—gathered quietly by the lake at the back of a mountain, somewhere in Shielded Valley. They stood in silence, their expressions grave.Though many had never ventured to Battleforge Summit, they had all heard of its
"Enemy attack!"Brenda sprang to her feet, drawing her sharp blade. Tensions had been high lately, and everyone's nerves were on edge."Perfect timing! I've been waiting to kill him sooner or later!"Alexander's killing intent surged, and his battle spirit ignited.Crimson Wyrm Master was destined t
As soon as Alexander asked the question, a heavy silence fell over the chamber. The three Guardians exchanged uneasy glances, but no one uttered a word."Never mind if you don't want to say anything, I'm just curious," said Alexander, sitting down cross-legged and closing his eyes to heal his wounds
"As you wish!"Crimson Wyrm Master channeled a furious surge of power into his spear, standing firm as he built up his momentum. Having fought to this point, he knew he had to unleash his most devastating attack."Here it comes!"All eyes were locked on the impending clash, each person holding their
"You fool! Don't think you'll be the last one laughing!"The Second and Third Guardians charged forward, joining forces to deflect Crimson Wyrm's relentless assault. Even with their combined strength, they could barely withstand a few moves."Do you really think we're without reinforcements?" roared
"Heh. I wouldn't dare accept your gift!" Maxwell scoffed, his voice steady despite the looming battle. Politeness had no place in this confrontation."Oh, but I'm sure you'll appreciate it," sneered Crimson Wyrm Master, his eyes gleaming with malice as he pointed at Darko, who lay crumpled on the gr
