Last Man Standing Chapter 289
"Grandpa and Dad told me not to bother you with a call..." Wynie sobbed. "But… But the doctor said today that my uncle's leg is messed up badly. He's not fit for surgery, and he might even lose the leg…"So I... I went behind their backs and called you.""Hey, Wynie, take a breather. Let's go see uncle Colton," Howard said, trying to soothe her."Thanks a million, Mr. Lincoln!" Wynie wiped away her tears and led Howard down to the hospital room.They arrived at a secluded single room down the hall. Howard took in the scene: Xever and his son Zaid were there, both looking like they had been through the wringer.Colton was propped up in bed, his right leg encased in plaster, his face and arms a patchwork of bruises. A doctor in a white coat was giving him the lowdown.At the sound of their arrival, Xever and Zaid turned to look."Howard?" Xever started to say 'Master Howard' but caught himself, the title hanging unsaid in the air.Howard had yet to make his role known, and it fel

"Howard, can you truly save Colton's leg?" Xever asked, his face alight with hope."Yes," Howard nodded, his smile unwavering as he produced a set of silver needles. "Mr. Colton Rhodes, just hang in there. It'll sting a bit, but it'll be quick.""If it means saving my leg, I can handle the pain," Colton declared, his voice laced with anticipation."Alright then," Howard agreed, and with a nod, he began the treatment on Colton's injured leg.10 minutes had passed when Howard, with practiced ease, applied the Ancient Refining Technique. His palm rested firmly on the man's knee, channeling a surge of core energy into the damaged limb.A soft grunt escaped Colton's lips as a brief grimace of pain flickered across his face. Thankfully, the discomfort was fleeting, quickly giving way to relief.What happened next left everyone in the room in awe. Colton's twisted right leg was visibly straightening, the swelling subsiding before their very eyes.A collective gasp filled the room, with

"Wynie!" Xever's voice cut through the tension."It's the truth! They didn't even bother to apologize, and they had the nerve to warn us that if we don't drop it, they'll make sure the Rhodes family regrets it!"Wynie's voice was tinged with frustration. "Grandpa tried to get some answers from them, and he nearly got roughed up by their goons!""Hm?" Howard's brow creased in concern. "Mr. Xever Rhodes, who's backing these guys?"Howard knew that Xever was no ordinary warrior. He was a martial master, and it would take a fellow martial artist to even come close to hurting him."Howard, just let it be. It's all water under the bridge, and Colton's fine now. No need to stir up old trouble," Xever urged, taking a moment to steady his breath."Mr. Xever Rhodes, I made a vow to myself to keep your family safe for life," Howard declared with gravity. "If I can't even sort out this little mess for you, then what good is my word? It would be as if I were just spouting nonsense!"And you

"Sir, is something wrong?" the Judge asked, his voice betraying his shock at Howard's frosty demeanor."Find him. We'll discuss it in person," Howard replied, curt and distant."Got it!" the Judge said, his voice firm.Before five minutes had passed, the Judge was on the line again, informing Howard that Xerxes was at his family's residence."Head to the Zuniga estate and wait for me," Howard instructed before ending the call.Half an hour later, Howard's Range Rover came to a halt near the gates of a stately manor—the Zuniga family's stronghold."Sir!" The Judge and Yoel came forward to greet him.Howard nodded in acknowledgment and stepped out of the vehicle."Sir, can you tell me what's going on?" the Judge pressed.Howard's voice was heavy with disapproval as he finished recounting the events. "You call this a competent lieutenant?""What?!" The Judge's shout was a mix of fury and disbelief.Yoel, who had been listening quietly, frowned. It was clear that the Shadow Sect

Yamil could tell from their demeanor that they meant trouble."Unless you want a disaster for the Zuniga family, cut the chit-chat," the Judge pressed on."Hmph!" Yamil scoffed, his voice dripping with contempt. "Big talk for such a small fry. I'm dying to see you try to shake up the Zuniga family!""Call your son out now, or I swear I'll take you down first!" the Judge shot back, his tone icy."Insolent fools!" one of the henchmen in black pointed at the Judge, his voice rising in fury. "You've got a death wish, barging in here like this? Leave now, or else—"However, his threat was cut short as he was hurled through the air, a gush of blood escaping his lips before he crumpled to the ground, unable to rise."Hngh?!" Yamil's face twitched as he witnessed the Judge's prowess."Dad, what's all the commotion?" At that moment, a preppy-looking guy strolled out from the villa's grand hall.It was Xerxes, the Zuniga family's eldest son, wearing an expression that just begged to be p

"Your son has been down this road before, hasn't he?" Howard asked, casting a sidelong glance at Yamil before turning to the Judge. "Dig up his past. I want to know everything.""Got it," the Judge acknowledged, pulling out a specialized Shadow Sect phone and getting to work.Yamil's frown deepened as he listened. The casual demeanor of Howard's crew unnerved him.The name Shadow Sect would usually send people running scared, but those guys? They were practically inviting him to call in reinforcements. Did they have some heavy hitters in their corner?"What've you got?" Howard inquired a few minutes later.The Judge looked up from the phone. "He's got a rap sheet a mile long. Ten offenses in three years, with two ending in death."First, a street race went wrong—sent a family car flying, left one dead and another injured."Second, he and his buddies harassed a college girl at a bar until she took her own life. And every time, someone's been there to clean up his mess with a fat

Plenty had lost their heads over it before."What's gotten into you?" Xerxes cried out, bewildered."Hawkins, who... Who is this guy?" Yamil trembled uncontrollably, sensing big trouble."Mar… Marshal..." Hawkins, soaked in a clammy sweat, could not bother with the father and son any longer, his voice quivering as he addressed Howard.At that title, Yamil and his son went limp, their faces etched with sheer terror.The marshal? Was this man the King of the Western Region, the lord of the Shadow Sect?The pair finally grasped the mess they were in."What's the Shadow Sect's creed?" Howard asked Hawkins, his voice devoid of emotion."Marshal, I...I'm sorry, I..." Hawkins stuttered, his voice barely above a whisper."I'm asking about the Shadow Sect's creed," Howard repeated, his tone even, his face unreadable."To rid the world of violence and bring peace, to punish the corrupt and wipe out evil..." Hawkins managed to say, his throat dry."Care to explain what those words mean

With a resounding crash, Kase was hurled through the air before he could even land a blow on Hawkins.He hit the ground hard, his chest screaming in pain from at least three or four broken ribs as he coughed up a gush of blood."Kase, you can't just do whatever you want in front of the marshal!" Ryker's voice cut through the tension, stern and commanding. "Were you trying to kill him to keep him quiet?""Ryker, stop slinging mud!" Kase retorted, struggling to his feet. "Hawkins had it coming!""Kase, you heartless jerk, you left me to die and now you want to shut me up permanently? I'll take you down with me if it's the last thing I do!"Hawkins' voice was a raw, furious roar. He turned to Howard, pleading his case with desperation."Marshal, I know I'm a dead man walking now, but Kase is a thousand times worse. He's been playing his own game, lining his pockets, making deals with the devil, and betraying his own people!"Every dirty job that Xerxes got blamed for, I had Kase sm

"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
