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. His face was as gloomy as the storm clouds, and his eyes were as sharp as blades, full of murderous intent.

He had not felt this angry for almost twenty or thirty years. In Nimbulus, there was still someone who dared to provoke him. This man was getting a little too bold!

Keith had already tortured Howard in his head over a hundred times and over a hundred different ways. Keith wanted to let Howard get a taste of getting flayed alive so as to calm down his anger!

"Sir, shall we go upstairs?" After a while, the butler of the Reynolds family asked cautiously.

He had gotten the general idea from Keith's phone call just now. He was also shocked!

"Go back to Nimbulus!" Keith took a deep breath.

"Got it!" The driver replied, turned around, and stepped on the accelerator.

"Send someone to check who they are right now!" Keith looked at the butler and spoke.

"Sir, I've already sent someone to investigate it." The Butler replied respectfully.

After a while, the Butler's phone rang.

"What's the matter?" The Butler asked after he answered the phone.

The Butler's expression changed several times, which made Keith wonder what the person on the other end of the line had said.

"I see!" Two minutes later, the Butler hung up the phone and looked at Keith.

"Sir, the matter is a little tricky. I'm afraid the enemy is more powerful than we think."

"What do you mean?" Keith frowned.

"I just got the news that Hurley was killed!" The Butler paused and continued.

"Not only him, but also the four major henchmen and over a hundred members of his gang have been killed!"

"What?" Keith's brow raised in surprise.

He was very clear that not only was Hurley a powerful man, but the people that worked for him were not good people as well.

In particular, the four major henchmen were infamously ferocious. They were a known name in the underground forces of Nimbulus.

Moreover, Hurley had an arsenal of powerful weapons in his hands.

In Nimbulus, besides the Reynolds family, he could not think of anyone else who had the guts and strength to kill Hurley!

"Do you mean that the man who called me just now killed Hurley?" After thinking for a while, Keith took a deep breath and continued to ask.

"Yes!" The Butler nodded and said, "He went to Hurley to ask about the little girl's whereabouts!"

"Have you asked how many people there are?"

"Just one!" The Butler replied after taking a gulp.

When the butler heard the news on the phone just now, he almost bit his tongue.

If the person on the other end of the phone was not his trusted subordinate, the butler would probably break out into curses at once. It was nonsense!

One person killed over a hundred people!?

Who would even believe something like that!

However, he knew that his trusted subordinate would not joke with him about matters as such.

The Reynolds family might really get into big trouble this time!

"What?" Keith's voice raised as he was surprised, "Are you sure?"

"Yes!" The Butler nodded solemnly.

Keith exhaled deeply.

"Call Stephen and ask him to move all our men in Mendorra back to Nimbulus immediately. Remind him to bring weapons along as well!"

"Besides, ask Holland to call all the people in the Nimbulus to gather at the Reynolds residence family!"

"Got it!" The Butler nodded.

"Also, you call the heads of the three families, Aellus, Jones and Hemman, and tell them that the Reynolds family has invited them. Ask them to bring a hundred elite men to the Reynolds family as soon as possible!"

Keith mentioned that the Aellus, Jones and Hemman family were the top three family in Nimbulus besides the Reynolds family.

"Okay!" The Butler answered and picked up his phone to carry out Keith's orders.

Keith then took out a cigar from his pocket, lit it, and took a deep puff.

After thinking for a while, Keith picked up her phone and dialed his daughter's number.

"Dad, have you arrived yet? What's up?"

A woman's voice came from the phone. It was the eldest daughter of the Reynolds family, Ellora Reynolds.

"Something happened to your brother..." Keith said in a low voice.

At the same time, Howard and Yoel took Lucius to a restaurant in a secluded area.

The business at the restaurant was not doing that well, and there was no one in the seats.

Yoel took out a wad of cash from his pocket and gave it to the boss. They booked the whole restaurant for three hours.

Then, after throwing Lucius on the ground, Yoel raised his hand and slapped him across the face two times.

Ahem! Ahem! Ahem!

Lucius coughed out a few mouthfuls of blood and woke up. His eyes were full of fear when he looked at the two of them.

"Who... Who the hell are you?"

"Do you think the Reynolds family can do whatever they want in Nimbulus?"

After sitting down, Howard said lightly, "in order to do a heart transplant for your daughter, you shouldn’t treat other children's lives as if they were nothing!"

"The Reynolds family must have done a lot of things like this, right?"

For Howard, now that he had made sure that Riley would not be in danger, for the time being, he was feeling a little more relieved.

As for how many people the Reynolds family would bring to deal with him, Howard did not care at all.

As the king of the Western Region, not to mention the Reynolds family, Howard would not feel threatened even if there were a force coming at him ten times as strong as that.

If he was really pissed off, he could easily destroy the Reynolds family!

"Who... Who are you to her?" Lucius kept bleeding.

"She is my daughter!" Howard replied indifferently again.

"What?" Lucius exclaimed.

"That's impossible! We've already investigated her. She's just a fatherless bastard. Even her mother doesn't know who her father is..."

Before he finished his words, Yoel lift his leg and went in for a kick, and Lucius hit the wall behind him at top speed.

Puff!

He spat out a mouthful of blood, and at least several ribs of his body were broken.

"If you keep your mouth shut, you might be able to live for the full next three hours!" Yoel warned in a low voice.

"You... If you dare to do this to me, the Reynolds family will never let you live..." Lucius screamed and responded with much difficulty.

"Really?" Howard lit a cigarette and took a drag.

"I don’t think the Reynolds family has a say in this matter. You need to know, things are actually the other way around!"

"Do you believe that after today, I can make the whole Reynolds family disappear off Nimbulus?"

    "You... You have no idea what the Reynolds family could do..." Lucius took a deep breath and continued."I... I promise you that you will regret this...""In... In Nimbulus, no one has ever dared to provoke the Reynolds family like this...""Not only you two, but also Talia and her family will die with you...""You're such an idiot!" Yoel replied speechlessly.Scenes of the battlefield flashed through Yoel's mind.The commander was alone, with a saber in his hand. The corpses were scattered everywhere, it was hell on earth!How could a small family like the Reynolds family be able to contend with a person of that level!Ignorant people truly were fearless!After a while, Howard's phone rang. 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 said coldly, "Remember what I said!""Boy, are you here to make fun of me?" The head of the Jones family said."Who

    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

    "My lord, you've misunderstood me!" Emery quickly justified himself."I heard that you had come to Nimbulus. I didn't know what happened, so I came here to assist you!"After a short pause, he continued, "My lord, what brought you to Nimbulus in person?"The Judge snorted coldly. "You Nimbulus people are really something, aren't you?!""I can't believe someone dared to forcibly kidnap an innocent child and disregard her life by performing a heart transplant surgery for their granddaughter in broad daylight! That's unbelievable, isn't it?!""Huh!?" Emery was stunned and puzzled at the same time.Although that matter aroused the great indignation of both men and gods, it should not be big enough for the Judge to bring thousands of people from Shadow Sect to Nimbulus to deal with it. Yet, there was a possible reason behind it.And that was the child's background. The child might be so unique that the Judge had to take a trip personally to Nimbulus! But who is it that can make the j

    "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!" Yuffie cheered, her face lighting up with joy."You're just making her more spoiled!" Talia gave Howard a playful eye roll and turned her attention away from

    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
