At the same time, in the biggest private room on the third floor.

Lucius was reclining on the sofa, with a beautiful girl in one hand and a cigar in the other.

Two other young men in the room were also holding girls in their hands, drinking and smoking.

"Congratulations, Mr. Reynolds. You have signed another big project. We'll be counting on you in the near future!" The tall man raised his glass and looked at Lucius.

"Haha, don't worry. You guys will receive the best treatment if you are with me!" Lucius smiled faintly and clinked his glass with the tall man's.

"By the way, how's your daughter's heart surgery going? Have you found the suitable heart donor?" The other man asked after taking a drag on his cigar.

"I found it!" With a smile on his face, Lucius said, "if everything goes well, she will undergo the surgery in half an hour!"

Speaking of this matter, Lucius looked evidently happier.

His daughter had been waiting for the surgery for almost two months. In the past two months, the Reynolds family had tried every means to get her a suitable heart donor.

As for the life of the heart donor, Lucius did not give two damns about it.

In Lucius' view of the world, everyone was born into different classes, either high or low according to their socioeconomic status. He felt like it was an honor for that heart donor to have her heart transplanted into his daughter's body!

"Really? That's great! Congratulations, Mr. Reynolds!" The two men said at the same time.

"Haha, thank you!" Lucius laughed and drank up the wine in one gulp.

Boom!

At this time, the room door was smashed into pieces by a gust of strong wind, and wood chips flew in the air.

"Ah..." the girls in the room exclaimed at the same time.

"Who dares to create a scene here? Are you courting death?" The tall man was shocked.

Then, he stood up and walked toward the people at the door. "Where did these trashes come from? Who do you..."

Bang!

The tall man was thrown backward as if he was hit by a car.

His body hit the wall behind him and fell heavily to the ground. He opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of blood. Then, his head rolled to the side as he fainted.

"Ah..." the three women screamed again.

"Lucius, don’t you dare leave. The others, get out of here!" Yoel said in a low voice.

The three girls and one man ran towards the door without hesitation.

They did not dare to say anything more since they had learned from the tall young man's mistakes.

"Who are you?" Lucius calmed down after a short moment of the initial shock.

This was his territory. He did not believe that the other party dared to do anything to him here!

Moreover, he believed that his subordinates would come up soon after such a big ruckus.

In less than three minutes, the two young men at the door would know the consequences of provoking him, Lucius Reynolds!

Slap!

Before he finished his words, Howard raised his hand and slapped Lucius across the face.

Lucius was knocked to the ground, rolled over several times and fell flat on his face. Both of his front teeth were knocked out upon the impact and blood spurted out continuously from his gums.

"How dare you hurt me?" After struggling to get up, Lucius shouted angrily, "I swear, I will make your life a living hell today..."

Before he finished his words, Howard came to him in an instant.

Crack! Crack!

Then, Howard stepped on Lucius's right ankle. After a few crisp sounds, the whole ankle was smashed into a soft lump of bloody mess.

"Ah..." Lucius let out a hysterical scream, which could be heard all over the building.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps rushing from the corridor.

Then seven or eight men in black rushed into the scene, each holding a pistol.

"Are you courting death? How dare you hurt Mr. Reynolds?" The man in the lead shouted.

"What do you bother talking to him? Shoot! Shoot them now! Kill them!" Lucius roared angrily.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Several men in black reacted and pulled the trigger at the same time. Bullets shot toward the two of them at the door like rain.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

To their despair, the bullets fell to the ground about one meter away from the two people, as if they had hit an iron plate, making a crisp sound.

"How... How could it be possible?"

The men in black froze as if they had seen a ghost, and their faces were filled with endless horror.

How could one block bullets like that?

What the hell!?

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The next moment, Howard raised his hand and swept out a strong wind in a swift movement. The eight men in black were all thrown backward. They all fell to the ground and trembled for a few times before they stopped breathing.

Lucius's jaw dropped, his face as pale as flour, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

Lucius finally realized what kind of a person was standing before him.

No other person possessed such skill in the entire Nimbulus.

"Who... Who the hell are you? What... What do you want?" Lucius gulped and asked in a trembling voice.

"Call Keith!" Howard said coldly.

"What... What do you want from my father?" Lucius was slightly stunned.

Crack! Crack!

Before Lucius finished his words, Howard grabbed his left wrist and twisted it hard. After a crisp sound, his whole arm was twisted into knots and hanging limply over his shoulders.

"Ah..." Lucius screamed again and fainted.

Puff!

Howard took a glass of wine from the tea table and poured it on his face. Lucius woke up again.

"If you dare to speak another word of nonsense, I can send you to meet your men in hell."

A murderous intent burst out from Howard's body and instantly shrouded Lucius.

"Don't... don't kill me. I'll call my father right now..."

Lucius trembled all over and quickly took out his phone to make a call.

"What's the matter? I just arrived at the hospital and was about to get off the car to work. Make this quick!" After the phone rang twice, Keith picked it up. "Dad... Help me... Someone wants to kill me..." Lucius cried out over the phone.

"What?" Hearing his son's voice, Keith shouted angrily, "what happened? Who did this to you?"

"Give me the phone!" Howard took the phone from Lucius.

Howard said word by word, "I'll give you three hours to bring Riley back to the Reynolds family's residence unharmed. I'll pick her up then."

"Three hours later, if I don’t see Riley, not only your son will die, but also everyone in the Reynolds family's will die as well!"

"Who are you?" Keith paused for a moment and then asked in a low voice, "How dare you threaten me? You are really..."

Crack! Crack!

Before he finished his words, Howard stepped on Lucius's knee again, the sound of broken bones was loud and audible over the phone.

"Ah..." the scream echoed through the corridor again, which was extremely frightening for one to hear.

"B*stard!" Keith recognized his son's voice and roared.

"Remember, you only have three hours. When the time is up and I don’t see Riley, be prepared to bury your son's corpse!" Howard replied in a low voice.

Keith took a deep breath and gritted his teeth.

"I'll wait for you in the Reynolds family's residence in three hours!"

    After hanging up the phone call with Keith.Howard took out his phone and called Milan."Sir!" Milan answered the phone as soon as it rang."Bring someone over to clean up the place!" Howard said in a low voice, "See you in the Reynolds Residence in three hours!""What?" Milan was stunned and replied loudly, "Got it!"After hanging up the phone, Howard turned around and walked towards the door. Yoel followed him while carrying Lucius, who had fainted again.At the same time, at the gate entrance of the most high-end private hospital in Mareno City.A Marcedis-Benz was parked not far from the door.In the car, besides Keith, there were the butler of the Reynolds family and two strong bodyguards, and Riley, who was unconscious, lying in the back seat.Keith, who had just hung up the phone, sat in his seat.

He picked it up and found that it was Talia."Talia!" Howard called out softly after he answered the phone."Where are you now? Have you got any news about Riley?" Talia's anxious voice came through the phone."Talia, don't worry. Riley is fine!" Howard replied."Have you found Riley?"

    "What?" Hearing Riley's voice, Howard trembled and stopped."Lora, how's it going?" Keith said in a low voice, his right eyelid twitching wildly at the same time."Father... Help me..." Ellora shouted at the microphone, "He... He wants to kill me...""Give him your phone!" Keith exhaled a deep breath and spoke."Okay... Okay..." Ellora nodded and handed the phone to Howard, "You... Your daughter wants to talk to you..."Howard took a deep breath and looked at the phone."Boy, if you dare to hurt Lora, you will never see your daughter again!" After saying that, Keith turned the camera to Riley.Then, Keith raised his hand and gave Riley a slap. There was a clear palm print on her face."Bastard, don't you miss your father? Say hello to him!" Keith said coldly.Boom!Seeing this scene, a violent and boundless killing intent burst out from Howard's body and instantly filled the whole restaurant, and his eyes were filled with cold rage.Standing in front of him, Ellora felt her

    In the Reynolds Residence, Nimbulus.It was located at the foot of a beautiful mountain in the east of the city. It covered a vast area, close to mountains and rivers. It was a plot of land that the world's creators favored.The Reynolds family had their own pride.In this city, even the people with the highest status had to greet the Reynolds family with politeness and respect when they saw them.Even if the Reynolds family could not control everything in Nimbulus, they were almost there. There was almost nothing they could not do.However, Reynolds Residence was not as peaceful as it used to be. The whole courtyard was enveloped in a tense atmosphere.Not far from the gate of the manor, there were thousands of people standing in the square.Nearly five hundred of them were wearing the uniform of the Thunderous Security. Each of them held a weapon in their hands, with serious expressions on their faces.There were nearly one hundred people in black suits and sunglasses. They l

    "Brat, who do you think you are? How dare you come here? Do you know where we are?"The head of the Hemman family was eager to show his respect to Keith, so he looked at the two men at the door and said in a low voice."Who are you?" Howard glanced at him."I'm the head of the Hemman family in Nimbulus. If you don't want to die, kneel and beg to Mr. Reynolds and apologize. Maybe you can...""You only have one minute to think about it!" Howard interrupted him, "If I don't take your men and leave right now, from tomorrow on, there won't be Hemman family in Nimbulus anymore!""What?" The head of the Hemman family was slightly stunned and burst into laughter. "This is the funniest joke I've ever heard in my life. You're hilarious!""Half a minute left!""Boy, you're really going to keep playing games, aren’t you?""It's a pity that you made the wrong choice!"

    Howard stopped Holland's bardiche with just two fingers when it was ten centimeters above his head! Holland could not press his bardiche down any further, and he was shocked that Howard had just stopped his powerful strike easily with two fingers.Splash!A drop of sweat fell from Holland's forehead as he subconsciously shivered. He knew he had just messed with the wrong guy, who made him despair."W-Who are you?" Holland swallowed in fear and said in a trembling voice.Crack!Howard did not answer Holland. He applied a slight force on his fingers, and then the hard bardiche's blade snapped. Immediately afterward, Howard turned his wrist, and the bardiche's blade flew rapidly towards a tree not far away like a lightning strike.The tree was then broken in the middle and collapsed onto the ground, and the leaves were floating all over the sky. There was a sound of gasping for air at the scene, and many people shivered involuntarily."You'll be dead if you don't answer my question

    "Yes, sir!" Two hundred policemen shouted.The people under Keith, who was about to stop the police force, halted when they heard Milan. No one would dare to face a rifle.Shortly afterward, the cops dispersed to all corners of the Reynolds Mansion.Keith flushed with anger. "Milan Jake, how dare you!"He lost his temper and waved to his men. "Get this man tied for me!"At that instance, there was a sound of uniformed footsteps coming from the mansion's main gate. At the same time, the sky above the Reynolds Mansion turned gloomy as the dark clouds quickly gathered up.All the people besides Yoel and Howard somehow mysteriously felt a little suffocated. The chill in the air sent a shiver down their spines.Soon, about a thousand men showed up in everyone's sights. Those men were royal guards who each wore a saber and pulled on a fierce look."Marshal, Judge of the Eastern District reports."The one who spoke was one of the Five Blades of the Shadow Sect."Marshal, please give

    "Judge, my lord, there must be some misunderstandings between us today," asked Keith while looking at the Judge. Meanwhile, he tried to hold his temper and walked a few steps toward the Judge.Although Keith was an arrogant person, he did not dare to be rude to the Shadow Sect members. He was clear that it would only take less than half an hour for the Shadow Sect to wipe out the Reynolds family if they wanted."Forgive me, my lord. May I know who this respected lord is?" he pointed at Howard, trembling immediately afterward."Marshal, were they the ones who have done that?" The judge ignored Keith completely and asked Howard.Howard nodded.Suddenly, all the royal guards drew their sabers and shouted, "Avenge!"The whole atmosphere in the Reynolds Mansion became more intense instantly. The people under the Reynolds family went weak on their knees and sweated while shivering because they had been terrified by the royal guards."I-I can't take it anymore!" One of the men in black

    "And look at that bracelet, it's stunning! Oh, and the compact has such a unique charm! Should we get one of each to decorate our homes?""Yuffie, you're still in school. How can you afford all this?" Talia chided gently. "You have a hundred fifty-dollar budget. Spend more, and it's coming out of your allowance.""What? Only a hundred fifty dollars? You're being too tight-fisted, sis!" Yuffie's complaint was lighthearted as she playfully turned to Howard. "Howard...""Don't even think about it. His wallet is in my hands!" Talia cut her off, fully aware of her little sister's ploy."Fine..." Yuffie's pout was all in good fun."Haha! It's not every day we get to do this, honey. If Yuffie finds something she loves, let's get it for her. Who knows if it'll be here next time?" Howard chuckled."Yay! You're the best, bro-in-law!"

    Howard's willingness to visit the antique market was not solely to assist the sisters in their quest for a legendary blade. Such weapons were treasures often stumbled upon by chance, rarely found by those who sought them.His real intent was to immerse the sisters in the rich culture of the martial arts clans they were then a part of. More exposure to the ways of the warrior guilds could only benefit them on their chosen path.The following morning, Howard's group of five set off in the direction of Nathanael. Talia and Yuffie buzzed with excitement throughout the journey, their minds alive with wonder.Nathanael, nestled in the mountains to the northeast of Mendorra and a couple hundred kilometers away, awaited them.By 10 a.m., they arrived, parking at the gates of a sprawling estate on the city's outskirts—the site of the famed market.Stepping out, they were greeted by a lively throng at the estate's entrance, many adorned in traditional robes, weapons hanging from their belts

    "And that's not all. They might even be a bona fide king-level warrior." Howard's brow furrowed with uncertainty."It looks like The Dark World is a whole lot more tangled than we thought," Yoel mused aloud.Then, turning back to Howard, he inquired, "Sir, did the old man ever share anything with you about The Dark World?""Not a word," Howard replied, shaking his head."Sir, do you think our mystery person could be from one of the elite families or sects, maybe just there on some errand?" Mystical Chubby chimed in.His speculation was not unfounded. Most of the king-level warriors from Rackaham were known to hail from the secretive clans and sects."It's unlikely." Howard dismissed the idea with another shake of his head. "From what Sabertooth described, our guy seems to know The Dark World like the back of his hand.""Who's that supposed to be?" Mystical Chubby scrunched his brow in confusion."Let it go for now. We'll head back to The Dark World in a little while," said Howa

    "Um..." Blood Rakshasa nodded, the woman's earlier words still ringing in her head."Sir... Sir, was what you said earlier true?" Blood Rakshasa asked Sabertooth, her voice barely above a whisper."What did I say?" Sabertooth looked puzzled for a moment."You said... You said next time, we'd go back home together to get married..." Blood Rakshasa's cheeks turned a soft pink."Hehe, absolutely," Sabertooth chuckled, his smile warm and genuine. "The boss gave me the order, and I've given my word."Blood Rakshasa's smile was shy but filled with joy.Soon after, Qemal strode in."Sabertooth, I've tracked down the hideout of the Slaying Heaven Palace," Qemal announced upon arrival."Is that so?" Sabertooth's eyes sparkled with anticipation. "Tell the crew to take a two-hour breather, then we move out!"The Slaying Heaven Palace's goons had nearly wiped out them today. Payback was due.With the Palace's top fighters gone, the rest were hardly a threat. It was time to cross the Slay

    "Shadow Demon Shrine?" The woman's brow creased for a moment, but she quickly dropped the subject.She then turned to Sabertooth and observed, "You and your group have the vibe of soldiers. You're not originally from The Dark World, are you?""Speaking to our savior," Sabertooth gave a respectful nod, "we were part of the Rackaham Western Region's military before we came here."He was open with the woman who had saved over a hundred of his comrades."The Western Region's military?" The woman paused, a hint of recognition in her voice, "You're with the Blood Shadow Force?""That's us," Sabertooth confirmed with another bow."Is your leader the King of the West, Master Howard?" she inquired further."You know my boss?" Sabertooth looked surprised."Not personally, but I've heard the name," the woman replied with a shake of her head. "What's he got you doing in The Dark World?""Over the past couple of years, the world's heavy hitters have been funneling their muscle and resource

    "You'll live to regret this, Dark Demon Lord!" Blood Rakshasa declared, locking eyes with her adversary. "Kill us, and Master Howard will avenge us by wiping out every last one of you in your cursed palace...""Ha! That Master Howard of yours better think twice before stepping into The Dark World again, or it'll be his grave!" The Dark Demon Lord mocked with an icy laugh."You're the fool!" Sabertooth growled. "No one in The Dark World has been born who can take down our boss. Your time's coming!""Is that so?" The Dark Demon Lord sneered with disdain. "You're clueless, all of you. You have no idea how powerful the Shadow Demon Shrine truly is!""Enough babbling. Time to end this. I'll send you both to join your boss," he declared, his presence intensifying as he prepared to strike them down."I love you," Blood Rakshasa whispered, her eyes closing."No, don't!" Qemal and others shouted in despair.Then there was a thunderous boom.However, the expected tragedy did not unfold.

    Sabertooth sneered, watching the man's futile efforts. "You're such a fool!"He then declared solemnly, "Blood Shadow Technique, second form, Sky Slash!"With those words, he summoned all his strength, his saber carving a fierce arc of light through the air, striking like thunder at his foe.The Blood Shadow Technique was known for turning the tides against stronger adversaries.The white-haired elder's eyes narrowed in alarm. Caught mid-leap, he desperately wanted to dodge but could not. The saber's light bore down on him, a chilling aura of death shrouding him completely.In that instant, a wave of energy crashed through the air like a tidal wave, bringing a howling gale with it.Crash!Suddenly, Sabertooth was hurled away like a shell fired from a gun, blood spraying from his mouth as he flew, before he slammed into the earth, leaving a huge crater and falling silent."Sabertooth!" Blood Rakshasa's shout pierced the chaos as she spun and dashed to his side.She barely made

    The man in black was sent hurtling through the air, slamming into the ground with such force that he lay there motionlessly, struggling to rise. A gaping wound, carved by the relentless sword, oozed blood profusely from his abdomen."What in the world is that sword technique?" he gasped after a torturous effort to stand, his face ashen.He had underestimated Blood Rakshasa's swordplay. Since her breakthrough to a higher echelon of mastery, her blade's might had surged, utterly dominating her seasoned adversary."The Sword Without a Name," Blood Rakshasa declared icily.Without wasting another second, she launched another assault. Sabertooth was in dire straits, and she was determined to aid him.Her blade danced again, weaving a web of sword energy that shot toward the white-haired elder, ensnaring him in an instant.The old man's eyes narrowed in a flash of panic, realizing he was trapped with no way out."This is it!" he snarled, brandishing his blade and lunging forward.How

    With a thunderous explosion of energy, Blood Rakshasa's power surged, forcing the old man before her to stagger back in disbelief."Impossible! Have you broken through?" he gasped, steadying himself, his face a mask of astonishment."You bet I have!" Blood Rakshasa's face lit up with triumph.She had done it, just as the old man had surmised. Amid her swordplay, she felt a dormant core energy within her erupt, catapulting her to the zenith of martial knight at peak mastery stage.Master Howard's words rang in her head. The core energy left in her by a once-mighty warrior was too much to absorb at once. Back in that cave, she only managed a minor mastery in martial knight. However, Howard had predicted further advancements, and he was right."Let's see if you can handle a few more of my strikes!" Blood Rakshasa challenged, her spirit soaring not just from her newfound strength but also from a deeper connection to her swordsmanship."Bring it on!" the old man bellowed, his blade re
