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.

    "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

    In all his years, Mystical Chubby had only ever looked up to two people in medicine. One was his sister, and the other was, of course, Howard.He did not pay much mind to the old-timers of the Rectenwald sect, boasting that with a bit of time, he would leave them in the dust.The old-timers did not take his bravado to heart. They knew he was full of hot air, and they needled him from time to time—suggesting he measure up against his sister and Howard. That would usually take him down a peg."For real?" Talia's eyebrows rose in disbelief.Howard was, in fact, not joking. His serious face said it all."Cross my heart," Howard replied with a grin and a nod.They all piled into two cars and made for the park.Mystical Chubby was like a kid magnet, and on the drive over, he and Riley became fast friends.At the park, Riley stuck to Mystical Chubby like glue, playing non-stop for two hours before she finally gave him a break. She then roped Talia into seesawing with her."Caught up

    "You've got to give it your all, but some things just can't be forced," Howard said with a light smile. "Going with the flow, that's the real secret to living right.""Man, I can't wait for that day to hurry up and get here!" Mystical Chubby smacked his lips again."When it does, it won't matter if they're from some high-and-mighty family or a secretive martial arts sect. As long as those ancient fogeys who've been around for centuries stay out of it, anyone else who rubs me the wrong way is going down!""You just love stirring up trouble, don't you?" Howard could not help but roll his eyes.Right then, Howard's phone started blaring. He checked the caller ID and saw it was Xander."Mr. Lowe, what's up?" Howard asked as he answered the call."Master Howard, we've got a serious situation!" Xander's voice was laced with urgency."What's going on?" Howard asked, his brow furrowing."A martial arts heavy hitter from Citrakuta has laid out one of our legion chiefs and snatched a dep

    "Sir!" The moment they stepped out of the car, Yoel was already striding over to them."Right." Howard nodded briskly. "Let's find Xander first."With that, he headed into the compound."Master Howard!" They had barely taken a few steps when Xander, flanked by his team, came rushing up, urgency written all over their faces."We need to hit the airport now. We'll catch up on the move!" Howard commanded."Got it!" Xander shouted back.Within two minutes, the pair of vehicles were tearing down the road to the war zone airport.As they drove, Xander filled Howard in on what he knew.The captured officer was Fabia Zaccone, an intelligence specialist with the Eastern defense forces.Recently, Fabia's team had snagged some critical intel from Citrakuta.That intel was a big deal for Citrakuta. When their top brass got wind of it, they were livid, swearing to get Fabia back at all costs.Thus, they sent their best fighters after Fabia's crew. Miklos Wagaman, the head honcho of Easte

    Those who crossed the sons of Rackaham from the Void Sect only met one fate: death.Without missing a beat, Mystical Chubby swung his arm again, sending a slicing wind toward the archway.With a resounding boom, the structure crumbled, sending dust billowing and debris scattering into the sky."Who in the world has the guts to wreck the Void Sect's gateway!?" The outcry echoed as a swarm of 200 to 300 robed figures charged down the stone steps, their presence fierce and their fury sky-high.Someone had actually demolished the sect's gateway. Was that a declaration of war, a prelude to the sect's downfall?For centuries, the Void Sect had stood unchallenged in Citrakuta. That was, of course, until that unforgivable act had been committed."Who are you three, barging in here like you own the place? Do you even know where you are?" bellowed an elder in a gray robe, his face twisted in rage as he confronted them."Bring out your leader, and maybe I'll let you live," Mystical Chubby

    "Huh?" Yanick paused, a flicker of surprise in his eyes. "You're from Rackaham?""Give him to us!" Yoel demanded, his voice brooking no argument.Yanick responded with a disdainful snort.The arrogance of Rackaham's people knew no bounds. With just a trio, they dared to make demands in Citrakuta. "Do you really think we're defenseless?" he scoffed."Another word, and you're dead," Yoel shot back, his voice icy.Rackaham's reputation for breeding martial prodigies was well-known, and Yanick was itching for a taste. "Let's see if you live up to the hype!" he bellowed.With a thunderous explosion of energy, Yanick's presence as a seasoned warrior erupted, sending his followers scattering like leaves in a storm."Try and withstand this!" he roared, unleashing a devastating palm strike fueled by his full might at Yoel.Yoel moved with a dancer's grace, his wrist flicking as he countered with a slash of pure, cutting energy.Yanick's confidence wavered, his eyes narrowing.

    "Take them down!" Howard's voice was like thunder.With Fabia's fate hanging by a thread, Howard was in no mood for mercy. Those people were done for."Roger that!" Mystical Chubby shot back."Please, no!" The plea came from dozens who tried to make a break for it.However, they were no match for Mystical Chubby—a martial knight with the speed of lightning. In under two minutes, they were all down for the count."To Ciolara 's Citrakuta!"With those words, Howard strode off, Yoel and another in tow.The fall of the Void Sect was the talk of Citrakuta in no time. The sect leader and hundreds of disciples had been wiped out by some shadowy figure. The news had the realm's martial arts up in arms, ready to cut down the killer.Howard and his two sidekicks faced off against ten groups of would-be avengers, including 100 martial generals, 20 martial gods, and five martial knights.However, the outcome was a foregone conclusion.

    "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
