Last Man Standing Chapter 342
Fate sure had a twisted sense of humor."I see!" Talia's smile was radiant as she turned to Howard. "Honey, you two chat. I've got to get back to work. Give me a ring if you need anything.""Sweetheart, why not stay?" Howard's gaze lingered on Talia. He could almost taste the awkwardness filling the room."No, I've got a ton of stuff at the office, and there's a meeting I can't miss." Talia's smile did not waver. "Don't rush on my account. Just call me when you're finished, and we'll head home together.""Okay, then," Howard managed a tight-lipped response."Ms. Cole, take care!" Talia offered Yaretzi a warm smile."Goodbye, Ms. Jenkins, and thanks!" Yaretzi mustered a steady smile in return.Once Talia left, the older man addressed Yaretzi, "Ms. Cole, you chat with Mr. Howard. I'll be just outside if you need me.""Sure!" Yaretzi nodded."Mr. Howard, welcome. Please have a seat!" Yaretzi gestured to the couch with a respectful air once they were alone.Howard settled into th

"I'm just worried that after working with the Yehooda Chamber of Commerce for so long, the Cole family might've accidentally slipped up somewhere along the way, and so..."Yaretzi took another deep breath, searching for the right words to continue."As long as Master Howard can look the other way, the Cole family is ready to make it right. Whatever it takes, as long as it's fair, we're on board."Howard chuckled. "So, the Cole family thinks they can smooth over any problem with cash?"You're putting too much faith in money and not enough in the Shadow Sect. If cash could clear every guilty conscience, we wouldn't need the Shadow Sect, would we?""Master Howard, I... that's not what I'm saying. I..." Yaretzi stammered, her voice tinged with panic.She could not understand why she felt that way. Usually, she was the epitome of confidence, able to hold her own with the bigwigs of Mareno City without batting an eye.That was why the Cole family had her on the ground in Mendorra.Ho

"She's a knockout who came all the way from Mareno City to find you, and you're not even going to treat her to dinner?""Uh..." Howard grimaced slightly. "Honey, it's only our second meeting. We're hardly acquaintances.""Really?" Talia gave Howard a pensive look."Maybe she's just an acquaintance of yours, but it might not be the same for her. I'm a woman too; I can see there's more in her eyes.""You might be overthinking it, honey." Howard offered a light smile."Believe me, my intuition is spot on," Talia said, her smile beaming as she smoothly changed the subject."If I'm not wrong, she's the heiress of the Mareno City Cole family, isn't she? Did she come because of her brother's trouble a few days ago?"Her sharp mind had pieced it together the second she heard he hailed from Mareno City."Yep!" Howard confirmed with a nod."So, what's the Cole family's angle? They are out for blood to defend their golden boy?" Talia probed."Not at all." Howard chuckled, shaking his he

Meanwhile, in a restricted zone in Ciolara, two old-timers were parked in an office—Ezra and his buddy in the plain getup."He's boarded," Ezra said calmly, checking his phone."Yep," the elder in plain clothes agreed. "However, his timing could be better. It's a bit dicey right now.""I'd like to see anyone try to stir up trouble on my watch," Ezra shot back, his voice edged with irritation."Just don't go making things worse for the kid," scolded the elder in plain clothes, giving Ezra the stink eye. "Things tend to escalate when you get involved."After a pause, he asked again, "Who's he got with him?""Yoel, the Shadow Sect's Five Blades, and Quispe," Ezra replied, taking a leisurely sip from his cup."You sure Dragon and his crew aren't going to show up?" the elder in plain clothes pressed on."Can't be certain," Ezra said with a decisive shake of his head, setting his cup down. "If his trip to Ciolara goes off without a hitch, fine. However, if someone's looking to stir u

A sea of 3000 Shadow Sect Elegant Uniformed Troops knelt in unison, their voices thundering in a powerful salute."Stand and let's talk," Howard commanded with a wave of his hand."Thank you, marshal!" they responded, their voices echoing as one.A young man quickly stepped forward from the group, approaching Howard and his companions with a crisp military salute."Elvis of the Ciolara Shadow Sect, at your service, Marshal. Vice-Marshal Louis, and the distinguished district governors!""Is everything set with the vehicles?" Nevaeh inquired.Ciolara was her turf, lying within the northern sector as per the Shadow Sect's territorial divisions. Elvis Warren, her subordinate and the district inspector, was the top dog at the Ciolara Shadow Sect."Everything's ready to roll, ma'am," Elvis assured her with due formality."Sir, where to go first?" Nevaeh asked, turning to Howard."To the Shadow Sect headquarters," Howard decided."Got it," Nevaeh acknowledged with a nod.Within fiv

The carriage filled with the sound of hacking coughs."Shylah, do you always have to go straight for the jugular? Just talking about chopping heads off like it's nothing!"Those were the big shots from the Metro Defense and the Imperial Guards. Sure, they in the Shadow Sect were not exactly shaking in their boots, but if they went slicing and dicing, they could kiss entering the city goodbye!"What's with the overreaction? If you're chicken, I'll handle it solo!" Shylah's icy gaze swept over the four members of The Judge as she spoke with a chill in her voice."Shylah, take a breath. Let's see what our boss has to say first!" Nevaeh's grip on Shylah's hand was firm, trying to prevent a rash beheading spree."Sir, your call, what's the play?" The Judge turned to Howard."Why all the panic? Maybe they just stumbled upon us and stopped to let our caravan pass," Howard said, his voice calm but his eyes betraying a flicker of steel.He knew the score—that was a power play, plain and

Considering what they knew about Master Howard, if they truly incited him to act, they would not stand a chance combined."Move it!"In an instant, the extended SUV was upon them. Monty's eyes narrowed, and he quickly sidestepped a good distance away.The other three, hearing his command, did not second-guess and swiftly cleared to the roadside.The SUV blasted by them in a heartbeat, not even hinting at slowing down. Had they been a fraction slower, they would have been dead.The Shadow Sect's convoy tore past them in hot pursuit.The men left standing roadside gaped, slack-jawed, as the vehicles vanished before them, frozen in disbelief.Could they do that!?"This is insane!" Yerek spun around, watching the SUV fade into the distance, his face stormy enough to rain.The others looked just as sour as if they had each swallowed a bug.They had arrived in force at the crack of dawn, all to avoid missing their window. Then, after all that waiting, the convoy did not even bother

"Sure!" Nevaeh agreed, then went straight to business. "Graham's been off the grid since that mess three years ago. Not a peep from him since."But from what our people have dug up, about a year back, this Fabius Redmann guy shows up on the Calnan family's VIP list."I had my guys look into him, but it's like he's a ghost. Someone's covered his tracks real good.""Is that so?" The Judge perked up, intrigued. "Nevaeh, you're saying this Fabius is actually Graham?""That's right," she confirmed with another nod. "Different face, but it's him. We've checked and double-checked—it's Graham, no doubt about it.""That explains the radio silence from Graham," Quispe said, the pieces falling into place."Nevaeh, Fabius is in Ciolara, isn't he?" Shylah piped up, eager for the next piece of the puzzle."Got it," Nevaeh nodded in acknowledgment."We've confirmed they're one and the same, so I've had someone on his tail at every hour of the day.""I mean, Graham's been a martial god with u

"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.
Last Man Standing Chapter 673
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
