"Xavier, it's been a long time!" Zayan greeted Xavier with a bow, a customary gesture among the Mystics."I heard that you're going public with the news?" Xavier's question was subtle, but everyone present understood what he was referring to.Zayan sighed and nodded. "Yes, we have no choice after Saffronesia's actions forced our hand."Xavier, however, smiled. "It's a good thing to go public. This way, the Mystic community can flourish once again."To Zayan, though, those words sounded rather unpleasant. The peace Hacniane had enjoyed for nearly a century, and its development from poverty and weakness had little to do with the so-called Mystics.The high-ranking officials of Hacniane had always shared a common understanding—Mystic practices and martial arts must be kept within reasonable bounds to prevent chaos. For the past century, they had adhered to that policy, which had proven to be the correct approach.Looking at the crowd coming and going in front of Skylife Palace, Zaya
"Shut up!" Xavier cut off his son before he could speak further.He turned to Hector and said, "Let me think it over. Once the Kennington matters are settled, let's discuss them in Bloomington."Hector smiled and said, "Alright."After leaving Hector's car and returning to their own, Xavier scowled as he scolded Kenlin. "Do you know what you did wrong?"Kenlin respectfully replied, "I understand. I shouldn't have exposed our weaknesses to outsiders."Xavier reprimanded him sharply. "If you knew, why did you still speak carelessly? How we manage the Yggdrasil is our own business. Outsiders don't need to know."Even if we can't manage it well, it's not something Hector should know about. Your words just put the Jennings family at a disadvantage. Do you understand?"Kenlin hung his head in shame. "I understand my mistake."Xavier gave him a stern look and then turned to his grandson, Layden. "Layden, what would you do in this situation?"Layden responded confidently, "Our family
"You bitch! You still dare to make a call? Go ahead! Let's see who you can bring here!""Yeah, do you even know who Young Master Thornton is? His grandfather is a dignitary, and his father is a minister. In Kennington, Young Master Thornton is like a god. No matter who you call, their background can't compare to Young Master Thornton's.""Exactly! You're a country bumpkin! It's your fortune that Young Master Thornton is interested in you, and you dare to resist?"Slap! Slap! Slap!In a private room at the 987 Bar in Kennington's Laketown, Nancy was surrounded by a group of men and women.Two girls were slapping her face mercilessly. The little white fox she had with her was beaten unconscious; its body was trampled flat by a fat man.Nancy should not have been there at all. The celestial beings of the Fox and Python families had taken her away from the subway and sent her, along with Naomi and Matilda, back to Campbell Alley.However, Nancy received an invitation from a college
Nancy's friend thought she had done better than Nancy over the years.However, after being with so many men, each one discarded her after they were done. Finally, she met Waylon, whom she saw as her last hope. She had lowered herself, humbling herself like dirt, to please him.So when Waylon mentioned wanting to sleep with her friend, she agreed without hesitation.She had called several people, but they all refused. Then, she called Nancy on a whim, who surprisingly agreed to come. What shocked her more was that Nancy was actually in Kennington!"Nancy, I beg you! Please, listen to me! This is my last chance!"Despite her friend's hysterical pleas, Nancy struggled against the fat man stepping on the little white fox.Waylon, grinning wickedly, said, "If I can't have her today, you're out of here. I never want to see you again."Driven mad by his words, Nancy's friend lunged at her, trying to force her compliance. However, Nancy stubbornly resisted, repeatedly saying, "I won't a
"Dad, help! I'm at the 987 Bar! Send someone right away! If you're late, I'll be dead!"Uncle, help! I'm at the 987 Bar..."Waylon did not know how many calls he had made; he called everyone he could think of.He could only pray that his family would come quickly and in force!Not only did he want to save his life, but he also wanted to capture those two women!After hanging up, Waylon, feeling somewhat emboldened, looked at Frost Peony with a mix of false bravado and fear."You better not leave; wait here! Let's see how I'll deal with you when my family comes!"Frost Peony was in no hurry. Instead, she picked Nancy up and placed her on the sofa, then the little white fox in her arms. The little white fox was barely breathing and seemed about to die."Daisy!"Nancy held the little white fox with nothing else in her eyes but concern for it!When she arrived earlier, the little white fox had desperately bitten Nancy's pants, not wanting her to leave.At the time, Nancy thought
As he spoke, Chad glanced at the unconscious Waylon and casually removed a triangular talisman from around his neck. Upon unfolding it, he discovered it was a protective talisman from Fearsome Mountain, drawn explicitly by one of its celestial masters.Obtaining a talisman of that caliber was incredibly difficult because the masters rarely created them.At that moment, Waylon's phone rang, and Chad answered it after glancing at the caller ID."Waylon, what kind of trouble have you gotten yourself into again?"The caller ID was marked as Uncle."Are you his uncle?" Chad asked."Who are you?""Me? Chad.""Chad? Which Chad? I'm warning you, don't touch him, or I'll kill you!"Chad replied playfully, "Really? Too bad. I was planning to turn him into a swine. I've already cut off one of his arms.""How dare you! Stop immediately, and I might leave your body intact!"The voice on the other end was agitated, and Chad could hear the sound of a car door closing. Chad then hung up and
"After the country's founding, becoming a demon was forbidden, but it didn't say anything about turning into a human!"As laughter rang out, a charming man with long hair and fox ears walked in. It was none other than the Third Grandpa Fox. He sat down beside Nancy and gently patted her head."Daisy was my most beloved granddaughter. She might be a bit foolish and slow, but she had a kind heart. Although she once served as a guardian immortal for someone, she never did anything evil."Later, she told me she met a human with whom she strongly connected. When I heard that, I agreed for her to become this person's shaman and told her to be happy!"Nancy's eyes reddened, and she threw herself into Third Grandpa Fox's arms, sobbing."I didn't take good care of Daisy. I'm sorry!"Third Grandpa Fox said, "No, this isn't your fault. It's the fault of certain people. If they can't give me a satisfactory answer today, the Fox family will certainly cause a huge uproar in Kennington!"Newto
Meanwhile, in the private room of the 987 Bar, Chad and Third Grandpa Fox sat on either side of Nancy. Across from them stood Newton, drenched in cold sweat, quietly standing by the door like a junior."Waylon, my son…""Nini, why are you here? Don't go in! You can't solve this!""How can you say that, Newton? What do you mean I can't handle it? Who in Kennington dares to touch my son? Waylon!"Fearing that his sister, Nini Heartweld, would collapse upon seeing Waylon, Newton quickly hugged her, saying, "Listen to me. If you want to go in, you must be mentally prepared!"Nini's expression changed."What's wrong with Waylon? Has someone beaten him up? Who is it? Who dares to be so bold? Don't they know Waylon's identity?""It's different this time!"Newton held his sister back, trying to explain, but Nini did not listen to him."What's different? Waylon's grandfather is a dignitary, and his maternal grandfather is a celestial master at Fearsome Mountain. Who in Hacniane dares
