Naomi interrupted Nini with a cold sneer, "Do you really think my dad and Sir Holt will stand up for trash like Waylon? He's not worthy!"Those words darkened Nini and Lassen's expressions. Lassen even demanded, "If not for my son, then for this slut?""Frost Peony, slap him!""Yes, Master!"As soon as Lassen finished speaking, Chad coldly issued the command. Then, Frost Peony appeared before Lassen like a ghost.Slap! Slap! Slap!After a few swift slaps, blood flowed from Lassen's nose and mouth, and his teeth were knocked out.The officers instinctively wanted to intervene, but Sheriff Hanstet stopped them with a glance. It was clearly a clash of titans, and it was not the time for them to get involved.Seeing Lassen's miserable state, Naomi took Nancy's hand and said, "Her grandfather was a former elder and the once God of War. Her uncle is the current God of War. And you dare to slander her like this? I'd really like to know who gave you that courage?"Her words stunned La
Gunshots rang out, and a hail of bullets flew toward Chad and his group. Lassen sneered, confident that at such close range, with so many guns firing, not even an earthbound immortal could survive.However, as soon as the gunfire erupted, the room suddenly filled with white petals. Bullets sparked as they struck the petals, and the room echoed with screams of pain.Lassen was dumbfounded. Every officer in the room had their hands severed, their guns clattering to the floor.Sheriff Hanstet was terrified, shouting in panic, "What's happening? How is this possible?"Newton, overwhelmed with fear, screamed in desperation, "Lasses, Sheriff Hanstet, what are you doing? You can't kill them! We'll die if you keep this up!"Naomi was stunned, and when she realized she was unharmed, her eyes reddened, and she started crying. "I'm going to tell my dad that Lassen tried to kill me!"She reached for her phone, which shocked Lassen. He lunged forward to grab the phone, but as he took a step,
He thought that, regardless of the situation, he needed to get his family out of there as quickly as possible. Zayan was a notorious madman known for earning his position by waging war in the firmament for 20 years. It was said that he had killed over a thousand people from the Celestial Realm.On the way, Celton ordered his driver to drive as fast as possible, aiming to reach the place before Zayan. When the car arrived outside the 987 Bar, Celton jumped out and rushed inside.However, when he saw the scene inside the private room, Celton was utterly devastated. His grandson, Waylon, had been mutilated, reduced to a human stump. His son, Lassen, had lost an arm and a leg. Sheriff Hanstet had both hands chopped off, along with over a dozen other officers who had also lost their limbs.Celton's mind went blank, unable to comprehend what had transpired here. When he saw Nancy, he was utterly dumbfounded. He recognized Micah's granddaughter—he visited Micah's family every New Year.
Third Grandpa Fox slowly shed his human form, transforming into a massive black fox. A low, sharp, piercing growl rumbled from its throat, causing everyone present to instinctively cover their ears.Titus's expression changed drastically as he glared at Third Grandpa Fox, shouting, "What do you think you're doing?"Third Grandpa Fox sneered, "I don't intend to do much—just rally Mount Tor's Fox family and wipe out Fearsome Mountain!"Titus burst into laughter. "Fearsome Mountain has 2,000 years of heritage. Do you really think a bunch of fur-covered beasts can destroy us?"Third Grandpa Fox retorted proudly, "We have 6,000 of history. You can't even begin to fathom our power. Fearsome Mountain should prepare for its doom!"Titus was momentarily stunned, then his face twisted into a snarl as he formed a seal with one hand, sneering, "Stoney Heartweld, just because you've become a fox, don't think you can sever your ties with Fearsome Mountain. Others may call you Third Grandpa Fox,
A group of wild beasts had surrounded Stoney's children, gnawing and feasting on them! Fearsome Mountain had orchestrated that horrific scene to sever any ties with Stoney deliberately.When Saffronesia invaded Hacniane a century ago, their forces nearly swept through the entire country, including Fearsome Mountain. The then-celestial master of Fearsome Mountain decided to perform a sky burial ritual on Stoney's children while they were still alive to preserve the sect's 2,000-year-old legacy!Third Grandpa Fox sneered viciously, "This is just a little interest for Stoney. Next, I'll annihilate Fearsome Mountain to avenge him fully!"Titus's face turned extremely grim, but he dared not make another move. The truth was that Fearsome Mountain no longer had many capable celestial masters. Titus had used some underhanded methods to ascend to the position of Fearsome Mountain's celestial master, but he was pretty mediocre in terms of strength and ability. Even his most skilled thunder
"How did he get in here?!"A member of the Mystic Nine Bureau, who was blocking off the 987 Bar, grabbed the collar of the person who had just rushed in and tried to drag him out. The man screamed even more desperately, "I'm not leaving! There are zombies outside, everywhere!"Holding Nancy close, Chad glanced at the man but could not help stopping in his tracks. The man looked crazed, his face filthy and his clothes in tatters, like a beggar off the street.Barging into a high-end bar like the 987 Bar, it was already lucky that he had not been beaten up. Moreover, the Mystic Nine Bureau had locked down the place, so there was no way they would have let him in unless that lunatic was someone important.While Chad was staring at the man, Zayan appeared as well."This is Sir Holt's grandson. He was born with autism and often runs around like this in a frenzy."It was Chad's first hearing that Sir Holt even had a grandson. He had heard that Sir Holt once had three sons, but all thre
Zayan's cold voice said, "Hand the case to the Sheriff's Department. Reassess Celton's dignitary status and relieve Lassen of his ministerial duties. Even though the Fearsome Mountain is part of the Mystic community, Titus is not above the law. If he can't manage Fearsome Mountain properly, the cabinet can help find someone who will!"As soon as those words were spoken, everyone fell silent. They had wanted to be unreasonable, to be overbearing, to argue forcibly, and to turn black into white. However, none of them dared.In Hacniane, even ability users must obey the law. If one was a demon and was told one could not become a spirit, then one could not become a spirit. Even if one were a Mystic, if one did not follow the rules, one was just practicing superstition!Finally, Zayan looked at his daughter, Naomi, and said calmly, "My daughter is my life. The fact that you even considered killing her will come with a price. So, prepare to head to the firmament in the next few days! Oh,
"You know the cause of the illness?"Zayan was shocked, almost in disbelief."Do you realize this child is the same age as you? Even your master examined him but couldn't find the cause!"Chad nodded and said, "But I do know, and I have a bold theory—that the cause of autism in all these children might be the same..."As he spoke, some thoughts suddenly flashed through Chad's mind, shocking even him, leading him to say, "And I suspect this might be related to the increasing number of ability users and cultivators over the past century!""Really?!"Zayan grabbed Chad's arm, hardly believing what he was hearing.However, Chad spoke with firm conviction, "It's very likely true, but I need to see more children with autism.""Wait here; I'll make arrangements right away!"Soon, Chad and his group arrived at the largest hospital in Kennington, the Ninth Military District Hospital, and Xyder was also brought along. Chad saw hundreds of children with autism there!Before entering the
