"What a joke!" Vihelm scoffed. "First off, I don't know any Graham. The Calnan family has never harbored such a man.

"Next, the Calnan family had nothing to do with the ambush on the Shadow Sect leader three years ago. You better get your facts straight before you accuse us of anything."

"Is that so?" Howard's voice was steady. "So, the Calnan family plans to hide a Shadow Sect felon to the bitter end?"

"I'm telling you once more, the Calnan family doesn't have your man," Vihelm retorted icily.

"That's the end of it. If you're set on this path, don't blame me for not showing the Calnan family any courtesy.

"This is your final warning. Give up the killers, and I might just let you live," Howard declared with a grave tone.

"If you're not gone in a minute, you're on your own!" Vihelm barked with fury.

"Fine by me!" Howard's gaze sharpened.

He then glanced toward the woods to his left. "Mystical Chubby, if you don't show yourself now, I'll have your sister drag you back up the moun

    "Hey there, Sir, Mr. Louis!" greeted Mystical Chubby with a wide, cheeky smile as he approached Howard and his companion."It's been ages, Mystical Chubby! I see your skills have sharpened once more!" Yoel greeted back, his voice warm with laughter."Oh, Mr. Louis, stop pulling my leg. Next to you, I'm just a small fry." Mystical Chubby chuckled once more.Mystical Chubby, whose real name was Donn Bruce, was a prodigy of the Rectenwald sect. At the ripe age of 22, he was not just a master of the sect's healing arts, his martial prowess had soared to the late stages of a martial knight's major mastery.After tagging along with a Rectenwald elder to the Western Region, he became a permanent fixture there, refusing to head back to the mountains. He took up the mantle of lead expert for the Western Region's Imperial Medical Team.He spent his days in leisure, happily lost among the team's nurses with no desire to return home.Then, Howard roped him in with a simple phone call to Ciol

    Their fate was sealed from the moment they crossed the Shadow Sect, whose authority was beyond reproach."Sir, what should we do with this one?" asked Mystical Chubby, nodding toward Vihelm on the ground."He obstructed the Shadow Sect's justice and sought to kill to cover his tracks. He must be executed," Howard stated calmly."You... You wouldn't dare!" Vihelm coughed up another mouthful of blood. "Go ahead, try to kill me. The Calnan family won't let this stand—"He was cut off mid-sentence by a flash of Shylah's blade."Stop right there!"A man's shout interrupted, followed by a powerful gust of wind aimed at Shylah."Another nosy one?" Mystical Chubby said with a hint of amusement, countering with a sweep of his hand.Boom!Their forces met, and both were pushed back several steps, perfectly matched."Hm!?" The newcomer was taken aback, not expecting Mystical Chubby to match his strength."Not too shabby," Mystical Chubby muttered, his brow furrowing.At that moment, S

    "Wido, it's an honor to meet Master Howard!"Wido approached Howard with a deep bow, showing utmost respect.He then nodded a greeting to Yoel."Mr. Raad, you flatter me!" replied Howard with a slight smile. "What brings you here today?""Master Howard, before we proceed, I need an answer. What crime has Vihelm committed that your Shadow Sect has sentenced him to death?" Edward cut in before Wido could speak, his voice heavy with authority."Since when does the Shadow Sect owe Special Patrol an explanation for its actions?" Howard's voice turned icy."You..." A chilling aura spread from Edward."You want a fight? Bring it on, I could use a good scrap!" Mystical Chubby leaped forward."You're really asking for it!" Edward's brow furrowed, and his presence intensified."Mr. Larson, just hold your horses," Wido said with a calming wave of his hand before turning to address Howard."Master Howard, the incident with the Shadow Sect from three years back? The Central Authority has

    "No one with half a brain would buy that those six were out to lend Graham a hand.""And if we don't wrap it up now, what's your plan? Round up every aristocratic house and behead them?" Yoel's tone was calm, detached."Fine, forget I said anything," The Judge conceded with a shrug, clearly getting Yoel's drift.Approaching the archway, Lukas' gaze turned steely. With a swift flick of his wrist, a flash of his blade shot up into the heavens.The Calnan family's archway crumbled to the ground as if it were mere paper mache."Tsk, tsk! Lukas, that's some raw power you've got there!" Mystical Chubby cracked a wide smile. "But hey, nice job!"The others wore expressions of cathartic satisfaction.Minutes later, they piled into an extended off-roader and tore off down the road."Son of a—"A hysterical bellow echoed from the central villa of the Calnan family estate.A cacophony of shattering followed. Every piece of glass and wooden furniture in the hall was reduced to rubble.A

    An hour later, Howard and his companions arrived back at the Shadow Sect headquarters."Sir, I've made progress on the investigation you assigned me," Nevaeh reported as they made their way to the council hall."It's as you suspected—it's connected to the Ciolara noble family.""Are you sure?" Howard's eyes narrowed in scrutiny."Absolutely," Nevaeh confirmed. "During our crackdown on the Dark Shady Cartel's intermediaries, I took the opportunity to question Ciolara's representative myself.""He admitted that five years ago, someone had indeed approached him regarding the Ziegler family of Mendorra. Due to jurisdictional issues, they eventually directed the individual to the East District.""How can he be certain they were from a noble family?" A chill flickered in Howard's gaze."The Dark Shady Cartel always played it safe with the big jobs, vetting their clients thoroughly. But when a job came in with a payout north of a hundred fifty million bucks, they were on high alert."

    He had pondered it. Truly, he had.Yoel, playing second-in-command, was like a caged eagle—his talents far surpassed the role. Yoel had the chops to be a lord of his own domain, no question about it.However, Yoel had been steadfast, loyally shadowing him all those years, and he could not just cast him aside.Then, with that chance at hand, he was keen for Yoel to spread his wings on a grander stage."He hangs on your every word. Without your say-so, he won't budge," Ezra remarked, clearly getting Yoel's measure."I'll have a heart-to-heart with him," Howard decided after a beat."Good!" Ezra agreed, then deftly changed topics."We need to keep a closer eye on The Dark World, especially with Blood Rakshasa holding down the fort solo. She's tough, but she's outgunned."The global chessboard is getting trickier by the minute. The big guns are funneling troops and treasure into The Dark World like there's no tomorrow. They're not exactly being subtle about it."Our Rackaham influ

    "It's worth a thought," Howard mused contemplatively."It's a chance for you! Besides, the East District can't keep going on like this.""Sir, can I ask you something?" Yoel said after a brief pause. "Would you take charge of the Ciolara war department?"If you're planning on it, I'll take on the mission. If not, I'm sticking to the Western Region."Everyone in the room understood what he was getting at.If Howard was to lead Ciolara, he would need someone reliable to support him.The Western Region alone would not cut it. Even if the Northern defense was stable, it was clear that the Central domain and Southern defense were not lining up with Howard.If they could not get a grip on the Eastern defense, it would spell trouble for Howard down the line."I haven't made up my mind," Howard replied, shaking his head.Truth be told, he had had no desire to deal with Ciolara and its petty politics. Given the choice, he would rather have spent his days in the Western Region.However

    "Mom, just accept it," Howard said as he walked out with Talia and Riley in tow. He grinned at Kaylee. "Mystical Chubby is no fraud. If he says it's a premium multi-vitamin from a top-notch wellness center, then it's the real deal."The Rectenwald sect was famous for its unmatched medical prowess, and its pharmacy was always stocked with high-end vitamins.The family gasped in unison, taken aback by Howard's endorsement."Wow, is that really such a pricey vitamin!?" Kaylee managed to calm her excitement before saying, "Thank you so much!""Don't mention it. Let me know how it works for you, and I'll make sure to bring more next time," Mystical Chubby replied with a warm smile.Holden and his family coughed again.This guy talked about those expensive things like they were nothing!"Ms. Jenkins, you're drop-dead gorgeous, right up there with my own sister!" Mystical Chubby exclaimed, giving Talia an over-the-top look. "No wonder the boss is head over heels and doesn't want to hea

    "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
