Last Man Standing Chapter 170
The destination was a private estate in Harrington, the venue for the Brilliance Beyond exhibition tour.By the time the group of four arrived, the entrance was swarming with people, all turned away for lack of an invitation.Two massive LCD screens stood outside the gates where the hopeful crowd lingered, eager for just a peek at Brilliance Beyond's splendor.With invitations in hand, the four made their way inside.The estate's sprawling lawn had been transformed into an elegant exhibition space, complete with a towering stage. At each corner of the stage, another large screen faced the cardinal directions.Surrounding the stage were rows of pristine white chairs. Beyond those were tables laden with an assortment of pastries and drinks.They could not help but notice the tight security—every few steps, a guard, every few more, a sentry—adding up to a small army of burly men in black."Why all the fuss for a global tour when they don't even sell Brilliance Beyond? What's the po

"Yaretzi, there you are! I've been searching everywhere for you!" A dapper man in his late twenties swaggered over, a smug look plastered across his face."Mr. Brown, for the umpteenth time—call me by my full name. Or Ms. Cole, if you please!" Yaretzi's alluring eyes narrowed as she regarded him."Ha, it's all the same to me!" Arturo Brown sauntered up, nodding at Kenny in greeting.He then eyed Howard with a lofty sneer. "You're a new face around here. What's your name?"Arturo had been watching from the sidelines, and it was clear to him that Yaretzi was quite taken with Howard, which irked him. Yaretzi was his prize, and he would not stand for anyone else making a move on her.He was a man of confidence and pride. The women he chased never got away, and certainly, no one dared to challenge him for them."Ms. Cole, enjoy your chat. I'll catch you later," Howard said, shooting Arturo a look before turning to leave for the seating area."Huh!?" Arturo's face soured as Howard dis

"Counting to three. No apology, and you'll get a beating if your own mother won't recognize you," the Judge cut him off.A formidable presence radiated from the Judge, wrapping around Arturo in an instant."One!""Man, you... You've got some nerve, You... Just you wait..." Arturo trembled, fear flickering in his eyes.He had not anticipated that the Judge's mere presence could chill him to the bone."Two!" The Judge kept counting."Arturo, take my advice and apologize now, or you'll live to regret it," Kenny said calmly."Three!" As the Judge spoke, the pressure around him intensified.Thud!Arturo, the typical playboy, could not stand the overwhelming force. His knees buckled, and he crashed to the ground.He managed to stammer out, "I'm... I'm sorry, it was...all my fault! Please...forgive me..."Jaws hit the floor all around. The young elites could not believe Arturo was actually apologizing. It was surreal!One of Mareno City's most eligible bachelors was apologizing in

The auction room was electric with bids flying higher and higher. In under an hour, sales had soared to nearly 150 million dollars.Time zipped by, and two hours vanished in the blink of an eye."Thank you, everyone, for your enthusiastic participation. That wraps up today's auction!" The hostess, dressed in a chic uniform, announced her return to the stage."I know you've all been waiting with bated breath. Don't worry; the moment you've all been waiting for is just around the corner."Let's kick things off with a round of applause for the general manager of San Briers Company, the one and only Ms. Nyla!"Ms. Nyla isn't just the boss. She's the mastermind behind Brilliance Beyond, and she'll be showing it off herself!"The applause was like a thunderstorm, rolling through the venue.Then, a vision of elegance, a statuesque beauty with golden locks and piercing blue eyes, graced the stage. She was the epitome of Western allure, twenty-seven or twenty-eight, with a noble air and

"Thank you for your interest, sir," said the stunning Nyla on stage, taking the mic with a graceful smile and speaking perfect Rackaham. "However, this necklace isn't for sale.""You think the price is too low? How about I double it to two hundred eighty million dollars?" he bellowed."Sir, we've made it clear that Brilliance Beyond isn't on the market. Please, no more interruptions," a staff member said, stepping up to the man."I refuse to believe there's anything money can't buy!" the man bellowed, "I'm getting that necklace today, so name your price, now!""Sir, if you don't stop, we'll have to escort you out!" the employee warned."Out of my way. This isn't your place to talk!" The brash man shoved the employee to the floor.At that moment, two brawny men in black suits swiftly moved in.The man sneered, turning to face the newcomers. "What are you gonna do?! Touch me and see what happens..."Crack!Before he could finish his taunt, one of the men delivered a swift chop t

To Howard, it was nothing more than a simple gesture. He had not expected any gratitude. After dealing with the assailants, he left without uttering a word to the two he had rescued.Little did he know, those two were members of the esteemed Garside family."My savior, you've finally remembered?" Nyla's face was alight with emotion.Nyla gave Howard a deep bow, her voice filled with sincerity. "I just want to say thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for saving my life."Howard offered a gentle smile. "Please, it was nothing. Just lending a hand.""Maybe it was just a small gesture to you, but to my grandfather and me, it means the world," Nyla replied, her voice trembling with emotion."After you helped us, you vanished without leaving a way to get in touch. My grandfather and I have spent the last year trying to find you through every means possible."We even joined the Brilliance Beyond world tour, hoping against hope. And now, here you are!"If he could see this, he'd be

Bang! Bang! Bang!The gunmen, clad in black, did not stand a chance. Bullets rained down, and they dropped dead.Screams pierced the air as the crowd at the exhibition panicked. Near the manor's entrance, a few men and women were not quick enough to escape the hail of gunfire and fell, struck down."Damn it!" Howard's presence turned icy as he sprang into action, moving like a ghost.He barked orders with authority."Judge, take out the sniper!""Yoel, keep the audience and Ms. Nyla Garside safe!""Kenny, get an ambulance on the line!""Got it!" The trio responded, springing into action."Be careful!" Nyla's voice was tinged with fear as she watched Howard head straight for the shooters.Yaretzi was close by, shouting, "Are you crazy? They're armed!"Before her warning could even land, Howard was already upon the four men with their automatic rifles.With a forceful sweep, a powerful surge erupted, and the men exploded into a gruesome spectacle, their bodies and weapons bla

The chill of the blade flashed, and the air was charged with power."Watch out!" Nyla shouted, her voice laced with fear.Howard glanced at the man. "You're in over your head!" Howard retorted, his tone icy.With two swift steps, he thrust out a palm. The wind howled from the force, and the air crackled with the impact."What the—?" The man's eyes went wide as he felt the full brunt of Howard's strike.At that moment, he realized he was up against a true titan. The irony that he had thought to take Howard down was bitter in his throat.With no time to dwell on his mistake, he tried to block Howard's blow with his sword.The palm strike was relentless, snapping the sword in two and continuing unabated to the man's chest.With a gush, blood spurted from his mouth. He flung back like a ragdoll and crashed to the ground with a heavy thud.He soared through the air for a good hundred feet before slamming into the ground with a bone-crushing impact. Blood gushed from his mouth as he

"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
