Last Man Standing Chapter 35
A few minutes later, with the Land Rover in front and the truck behind, they slowly drove toward the residential area where the Jenkins family lived."Marshal..." Yoel hesitated as the car pulled out."I'm not on the front lines anymore, don't call me Marshal," Howard said."Alright, Howard then. Sounds more friendly!" Yoel smiled."Sure." Howard nodded. "What were you going to say just now?""I got a call from Ciolara this morning," Yoel said with a slightly serious tone."As expected. What did they say?" Howard asked casually."They expressed dissatisfaction with your leaving your post without permission and gave you three days to return to the Western Region," Yoel explained. "Otherwise, they'll revoke your title as the King of the West.""That works out perfectly for me," Howard said, appearing indifferent. "Draft a resignation report for me and say I'm resigning from all positions in the military due to personal reasons."Yoel slammed on the brakes. "Howard, your joke is

"Let them investigate as much as they want," Howard said with a slight frown. "A bunch of people with nothing better to do, engaging in petty actions. That's all they're capable of!""I agree. They're just bored out of their minds, always stirring up some trouble to pass their time!" Yoel nodded in agreement.After chatting for a while, Yoel drove the car into an old community. As they entered, they noticed the word 'demolish' painted on the exterior walls of every building. In the open space within the community, elderly people gathered in groups, discussing something with sighs and worried expressions."Daddy!" As Howard and Yoel parked the car at the entrance of Block Eight, a petite figure ran toward Howard."Riley, did you miss me?" Howard bent down, lifting Riley into the air and spinning her around."Of course, I missed you so much..." Riley's teary eyes moistened Howard's shirt."I missed Riley too!" Howard's eyes welled up with tears.Standing not far away, Talia watche

"Don't you understand? Mr. Caunter has set his eyes on your house, bought it for seventy thousand dollars, and today we're here to complete the formalities," the bald man repeated."Sorry, we're not planning to sell the house," Talia responded coldly."We're not here to negotiate with you today; we're formally notifying you. If you complete the formalities today, you can get seventy thousand dollars. If you wait until after tonight, you might not get a penny!"The bald man chuckled. "By the way, you don't know yet, do you? This community, except for your family, has all agreed to sell. In half a month, everyone will be gone!""This community is about to undergo redevelopment, and you guys are probably from the developers, right?" It was clear that the developers were causing trouble."Young man, step aside. Who are you to speak?" The bald man glanced at Howard and said sternly."How audacious!" The man in a brocade uniform was ready to attack the bald man."Wait!" Howard stopped
Last Man Standing Chapter 38
In less than a minute, all of them, including the bald man, were lying on the ground, groaning in pain. They all appeared terrified. After all, before they could even see the figure of the brocade uniformed man clearly, they were all defeated, clearly outmatched."Remember what I said. If your company doesn't act by this time tomorrow, I'll pay a visit to your company directly!" Howard declared, then turned to Talia. "Talia, let's go upstairs.""K-Kid, j-just you wait! I'll make you pay..." The bald man struggled to get up, overwhelmed with anger."Disable one of their arms and get them out of my sight!" Howard instructed as they reached the hallway."Got it!" Yoel nodded in response.The next moment, a hysterical scream echoed from behind Howard."Jayden is quite influential in Mendorra. He'll definitely get back at you for treating his men this way!" Talia expressed concern as they walked."Talia, don't worry. I have some friends in Mendorra. Jayden won't dare to mess with us,

"If they have the guts..." Kaylee started again."Auntie, don't rush. If this isn't resolved by tomorrow, you can go then. Besides, aren't we supposed to visit the Jenkins mansion for Old Master Albert's birthday celebration?" Howard responded."Daddy, I don't want to go to Great-grandpa Albert's house. I don't want to go..." Riley, leaning against Howard's shoulder, vigorously shook her head, tears swirling in her eyes."Riley, I promise no one will dare to bully you this time." Howard gently patted Riley's back."I don't want to go! I really don't want to go!" Riley choked up."Riley, be good!" Seeing her daughter's distress, Talia felt a pang of heartache. She took Riley from Howard's arms and reassured her, "This time, we'll both go with you, and no one will bully you again.""Riley, they said you didn't have a dad. This time, take Daddy with you and show them. Tell them your dad is back, and they shouldn't talk about you like that again," Yuffie chimed in."Okay..." Riley s

Before Tasha could finish her sentence, Howard slapped her hard, ruining her makeup. All eyes turned toward them, dumbfounded. Even though she was shocked, Kaylee found a sense of satisfaction—she had not expected Howard to have such audacity.On the other hand, Yuffie gazed at Howard with admiration, impressed by his bold move. After a brief moment of hesitation, Talia opened her mouth as if to say something but decided against it."H-How dare you hit me?" After a considerable pause, Tasha shouted hysterically. "You bastard! I'll make sure to skin you alive!"Before she could finish her threat, two crisp sounds echoed through the room, leaving Tasha's cheeks swollen."From now on, if you dare call Riley a bastard child again, I'll make sure you never speak again," Howard warned with a stern gaze."You..." Tasha attempted to retort, but Howard's glare intimidated her, causing her to close her mouth."Sir, aren't you going too far? You're assaulting someone in front of all these p
Last Man Standing Chapter 41
Talia's words struck a chord with everyone, including Howard. Even though he knew she said it for his sake, hearing her openly declare him as her fiance in front of so many people moved him deeply.Kaylee, on the other hand, fought to control her expressions. She considered scolding them, yet it seemed inappropriate at this moment. However, holding back her frustration felt almost unbearable.Albert roared, "Y-You actually admit he's your fiance? Are you trying to anger me? What a terrible fate for our family! How did we end up with such an unfilial descendant? You brought shame to our family!"As he spoke, Albert began coughing heavily due to his escalating temper."Dad, take care of yourself. Don't stoop to their level," Holden's younger brother, Kenneth, advised.He then turned to Holden and scolded, "Holden, are you intentionally provoking our dad today? Hurry up and take them away!""Dad, I'm sorry. It was our mistake. Please don't be angry. We'll leave right away," Holden a

"Even when they trample and bully you, you don't even dare to let out a sound!""If you don't want to cut ties with them, I won't force you. We'll proceed with the divorce tomorrow, and I'll live a much better life with our two daughters and Riley!""Mom!" Talia shouted, "Don't be angry. It's not Dad's fault.""It's not his fault? Who else should I blame? If he had a bit of courage, we wouldn't have fallen to this point!" Kaylee angrily retorted."Kaylee, it's my fault for letting you down!" Holden took a deep breath, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes. Then, he turned to Albert, saying, "Dad, thank you for raising me into who I am today. I'll remember this favor for a lifetime. But over the years, I've felt your ruthlessness. As a husband and father, I need to be responsible for them, and I hope you can understand.""Holden, you unfillial son! What are you planning!?" Albert steadied his emotions and asked angrily."Liquidate that twenty percent of the shares for us. F

"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
