"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

    After an hour, the Range Raver stopped in front of a skyscraper in downtown Mendorra that had not been operating officially.“This is Mendorra Tower?” The two got out of the car and walked to the square. Howard looked up with a complicated expression.This was the biggest wish of his adoptive father during his lifetime. He wanted to build the tallest building in Mendorra and make it a landmark of Mendorra. People will be reminded of Mendorra Tower at the mention of Mendorra herself!According to the plan, after the building was completed, it would integrate high-end shopping facilities, hobby centers, entertainment amenities, hotels and offices all in one.However, before the completion, his adoptive father was involved in an accident!“Yeah!” Yoel responded. “Your adoptive father had an accident, and the project was stopped immediately. The relevant departments of Mendorra planned to find someone to take over. But on one hand, the investment on this project was too enormous, and

    Then, Kenny turned to Yoel. “Hey, it’s been a while. I miss you!”“Darn it. I don’t have a preference like yours!” Yoel glared at him.“Uh…Yoel, you can’t ruin my reputation!” The corner of his mouth twitched, and he looked at Howard.“Young Master Howard, it’s not officially open yet, do you want to go in and have a seat?”“Let’s go and sit in the car!” Howard looked up at the building again, turned around and got into the car.“Young Master Howard, haven’t you been in the Western Region all this while? Why did you suddenly come to Mendorra?” After the three got into the car, Kenny looked at Howard and asked.“You’re something, huh. I haven’t seen you for two years, and you’ve shed a few pounds!” Howard did not answer his words.“Hey, since you asked for it!” Kenny grinned.“I have been exercising a lot in the past two years, and I have completed the slimming goal you set for me!”“Yeah, it’s not bad! You have some perseverance in you!” Howard smiled lightly.“Thank you for

    “What?!” Hearing Kenny’s words, the old man felt a chill down his spine, and utter shock was the only thing that could be read on his face. He finally understood why the eldest young master was so respectful of him. Alone, this man had the power as strong as a country. He made the surrounding bandits shivered by just the mention of his name. With his Blood Shadow Saber, corpses would scatter all over the field and blood would taint the rivers with just a moment of thought. In the face of such a character, perhaps only a few people dared not bow to him!“I, Kenny Carter’s life, was also saved by Young Master Howard. Without him, I would have been a sloping loess!” Kenny continued to say. “And it’s all thanks to him as well, that I have my achievements and wealth today! It can be said that Young Master Howard’s kindness to me is more important than that of my parents!”As he spoke, his eyes flashed with deep gratitude and awe.“Understood!” The old man’s pupils also flashed with awe.

    The group of people including Sean was so frightened that they fell to the ground. They were horrified and cold sweat broke out. They were so close to becoming dead bodies under the wheels of the Hummel!Immediately afterwards, two men stepped down from the Hummel. They were dressed in brocade uniform and wore sabers on their waists. They had serious expressions and emitted intimidating aura.“Damn it, who the hell are you guys? Don’t you know what this place is? You want to die?”Sean took a deep breath and stabilized his emotions. He was furious and roared angrily. How dare these people busted into Haffen Villa and make a commotion? They should have known better!“Are you Sean Austin?” A man said coldly after looking at the photo on his phone.“Who the hell are you?” Sean snapped. At this time, a group of men in black quickly rushed towards them and each with a stun gun, looking overbearing.“Master Sean, what happened?” the leader asked loudly.“Stop the nonsense. Get these t

    A young man with twinkling eyes was sitting in the center of the garden—it was none other than Howard. Yoel and the Judge stood on either side of him. After a simple disguise, Howard looked entirely different. He had no intention of letting Mendorra's people know he was back, deciding to settle things after ensuring Talia and Riley's safety.Apart from the three, ten well-dressed men with stern expressions guarded the garden from all directions.Sean, visibly nervous, finally mustered the courage, saying, "W-Who are you? I'm from the Austin family in Mendorra. Touch me, and the Austin family will make sure you regret it!"Howard ignored Sean's outburst and casually swirled the wine in his glass before taking a sip. "Gentlemen, do you recall that night five years ago?"Confused, Sean and the others frowned, attempting to recall the past."W-What do you mean?" Sean asked while the others began to recall."Don't remember?" Howard said, "It's understandable. With all the despicable a

    A cold glint flashed, and a saber spun toward Connor's arm at lightning speed.In the next moment, an arm severed from the body dropped straight to the ground, and blood splattered everywhere as Connor let out a gruesome scream, his expression twisted in agony."It's your responsibility to set an example to your children!" Howard glanced at him casually. "Tonight, I'll give you three a chance to personally send your sons to the afterlife and beg for Ms. Ziegler's forgiveness!""Of course, you can choose to forfeit this opportunity. However, the consequence of doing so is that everyone who came here tonight, including the families behind you, will have to die. The choice is yours." After saying this, Howard raised his red wine glass and took a sip. "Damn, who the hell do you think you are? You're so ignorant! I'll end you right now!" A burly man behind Vonn roared angrily and charged at Howard."Ignorant fool!" The Judge by Howard's side swiftly moved his wrist. The cold glint rea

    The Judge responded sternly, "His identity is none of your business! If you don't want to die here today, I suggest you accept the chance he's giving you. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind killing you personally."Upon hearing his words, all three men immediately knelt, bowing their heads vigorously toward Howard."P-Please, sir! Spare Sean this time," Vonn pleaded, taking the lead. "I'm willing to compensate Ms. Ziegler. Just name the amount, and I'll transfer the money immediately."The other two family heads nodded quickly, expressing their willingness to pay if it meant saving their sons' lives."Are you wealthy?" Howard took a sip of red wine. "How much are you planning to pay? A hundred billion dollars or a hundred trillion dollars?""I..." Vonn struggled to find words, rendered speechless.Despite being the top-ranked family in Mendorra, the Austin family could only come up with cash up to a hundred billion dollars in a short time. Even if they sold off all their assets, it might

    "Investigate the matter!" Terry looked at the Austin family butler standing at the doorway and spoke sternly. "Immediately arrange someone to check whether any remnants of the Ziegler family survived. Report immediately if there's any news!""Got it!" The butler nodded before turning to leave."Terry, the connection between that kid and the Shadow Sect is extraordinary!" Vonn, too, lit a cigar and took a puff. "If he's really a survivor of the Ziegler family, we must be cautious!"Terry snorted coldly. "What does it matter if he has a good relationship with the Shadow Sect? If he's truly a Ziegler family survivor, I'll make sure he dies again, even if he's the head of the Shadow Sect!"After saying this, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he continued, "Call Jacob immediately. Tell him something terrible happened to Seane and ask him to return in the next couple of days!""Terry, you already have a plan?" Vonn raised an eyebrow."No matter who the other person is, I'll make su

    "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
