"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

"It's my honor to meet you, vice-marshal!" Emery saluted Yoel after he had stood up."You're getting fatter and fatter in the peace, my friend!" Yoel joked and smiled at Emery."You're flattering me!" Emery smiled awkwardly."Alright. There's nothing you can do now. Get your people out of here.""Yes, sir!" Emery saluted Howard and gave his command to his subordinates. "Head back!""Yes, sir!" The special force armies responded aloud and left."You should go back too. I'll catch up with you when I'm free." Howard looked at Emery and said."Roger!" Emery did not insist on staying there because he knew Howard was strong enough to take down the whole Reynolds family alone. Let alone there were nearly a thousand Shadow Sect's royal guards under Howard."M-my lord, I-I have nothing to do with whatever happened here today..." The patriarch of the Jones family suddenly spoke in a trembling voice."Yes, my lord! Keith Reynolds threatened us to come. He'd have come after us if we hadn'

"As for the Jones and Hemman families, implement the punishments according to the law! No tolerance is allowed!""Yes, marshal!" the Judge replied."My lord, forgive us. We were forced, please forgive us...""The Reynolds family threatened us. I beg you to let us go...""My lord, please spare our lives..."The sound of wailing and whining started to resound throughout the Reynolds Mansion. Keith and Holland slumped on the ground. Their faces were pale, and their eyes were full of despair. They were put to death just by order of Howard. They had never imagined that the Reynolds family, who had thrived in NImbulus for hundreds of years, would be destroyed by them, just because they caught a little girl.However, it was too late for them to regret what they had done. The next moment two heads flipped in the air and then fell onto the ground. And that marked the end of the Reynolds family's history in Nimbulus.Two minutes later Howard got into the car with Riley in his arms. Then,

Yuffie took an exclamatory breath and continued before Howard could reply. "How did you rescue Riley then? Reynolds is much stronger than Aellus!""We called the police. They helped me to rescue her," said Howard with a smile."Really?!" Yuffie stared questioningly at Howard."Yuffie! Are you done?" Kaylee raised her voice again.Then, she faced Howard and Yoel and grumbled. "We're already distressed by the Aellus family, and now you're telling me you've made a bigger mess for us! You like being in trouble, don't you?! Of course, it doesn't matter to the two of you. You two could just come and leave any time you wish, but have you thought about us? We can't stay in Nimbulus and go back to Mendorra. So, you tell me, where should we go?"Talia and Yuffie became solemn when they heard what their mom had said. Kaylee was right. How did they live in the future?"Ma'am, don't worry!" Howard looked at Kaylee. "I'll follow you to Mendorra. If there's any difficulty, I'll deal with it. Pl

"You have your own life, and I have mine. So from now on, please don't come to me again. Take care—""Talia!" Howard interrupted her. "I know you still hate me, but even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about Riley."Soon, she'll go to primary school and make friends there. Won't you be upset if the children there make fun of her because she doesn't have a dad? And if someone bullies her at school, or something like this happens next time, what can you do?"Based on your current situation, can you guarantee to give her a safe and healthy growing environment?""Enough..." Talia sobbed."Talia, trust me. We'll live happily ever after!"Howard turned around and grabbed Talia's arms."It's okay that you can't accept me for the time being, and I won't force you to marry me now. Time will bring our hearts together."But for now, can we at least pretend to be a married couple in front of outsiders and Riley? And when the time comes, I promise we'll have a spectacula

"Tell your parents to pack their stuff. We'll move to Mendorra after two days and start over there," said Howard."You're too idealistic!" Talia took a deep breath. "You don't know how bad our situation is!""There is no place for our family in Mendorra at all!""That was the past!" Howard solemnly refuted, "From now on, everything will be in the past. Believe me. I will definitely be able to do it!""Oh! Why can't you understand!" Talia despairingly sighed. "Forget it. You just didn't believe it no matter how I told you. You'll understand one day!"Then, she looked at Howard and hesitantly asked, "I… can you do me one last favor?""Of course!" Howard nodded vigorously. "What's it?""Three days later is my grandpa's birthday. Our family will go to Mendorra to celebrate with him. Can you go to the Jenkins Mansion with us if you're free tomorrow?""They always mock that Riley is a wild child without a father whenever we meet.""Riley was traumatized by that. Now she doesn't dare

"Marshal, I've already checked it out!" Yoel responded after getting the car's engine started."According to the characteristics of a killer you provided at the time, I asked the judge to track it down for half a year, and he finally found him in a neighboring country. The killer already spit everything out. The mastermind behind the murder of your adoptive father's family was the Austin family, the wealthiest family in Mendorra today, together with the Francis and Blake families.""So I was right all this while!" said Howard. Yoel could sense a firm intention of killing from Howard's expression.Five years ago, Howard's adoptive father's family, the Ziegler family, was the first of the top-four most influential families in Mendorra. The remaining three families were the Austin, Francis, and Blake families. Among the four families, the status of the Ziegler family was far higher than the rest. Howard's adoptive father was a man of high integrity and resolution. He despised the manne

"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
Last Man Standing Chapter 671
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
