Last Man Standing Chapter 40
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
Last Man Standing Chapter 43
Howard had not expected the situation would coincidentally revolve around the contract for Mendorra Tower. For him, whether it was a three-year contract or one spanning three hundred years, it posed no problem whatsoever."What authority do you have to speak here?" Tasha angrily retorted."Tasha, are you deaf or just mentally challenged? Didn't you hear Talia? He's my brother-in-law!" Yuffie responded loudly. Then, addressing Albert, she said, "Grandpa, Howard is asking you a question. Give a definite answer!"In truth, Yuffie had no confidence in Howard securing the contract for Mendorra Tower. However, for some reason, she felt that since Howard asked, maybe he really had a way to handle this matter."Nonsense, of course!" Albert responded after taking a sip of tea. "As long as you can secure a three-year contract with Mendorra Tower, not only will I fulfill my previous promises, but I'll also supplement the dividends from the twenty percent shares over these years!"For him, th

"Oh, Walter Beech! Nice name!" Howard smirked. "You do seem quite distinguished. Care to introduce yourself?""Walter is the heir of Mendorra's Beech family, and the Beech Jewels, under the Beech family, is the largest jewelry company in Mendorra!" Tasha boasted with pride."Moreover, just yesterday, Beech Jewels successfully secured a one-year contract with Mendorra Tower!""Oh, impressive!" Howard replied with a faint smile.Tasha continued, "Of course! Walter is currently seeking connections to ensure that our products from the Jenkins family can also be featured in Mendorra Tower!""Is that so?" Howard smiled again. "Then you better act quickly, or you might miss the chance." Walter snorted. "How ignorant! If you can secure a contract with Mendorra Tower within a day, I'll kneel before you!"Howard smirked and replied, "Save your breath and hurry back to ensure your family's contract at Mendorra Tower won't be canceled. Otherwise, you'll be in for a rough time."Walter sco

Talia also wanted to vent her anger, but she knew getting angry would not make any difference. Hence, she decided that if all else failed, she would have to seek help on her own. Otherwise, their situation would become even more difficult after tomorrow."I speak this loud; if you don't want to listen, plug your ears!" Kaylee continued to shout."Kaylee, don't be like this. Even without Howard's issue, they wouldn't have cashed out our shares," Holden spoke after taking a deep breath.After tonight's events, Holden, who had harbored a faint hope for the Jenkins family, had given up entirely. He had not expected his own father to be so heartless."Shut up!" Kaylee's anger shifted back to Holden. "I'm still mad at you. Did you hit your head as a kid? What makes you think you can get the contract for Mendorra Tower? If you had that ability, our family wouldn't be in this situation!""I used to know someone in the business department at Mendorra Tower. I was planning to ask him for he

Howard was exasperated at how dense Yoel could be at times, always bringing up sensitive topics at the wrong time!"Did the Jenkins family take your give and chase you out immediately?" Yoel joked again.Howard did not respond to his comment. Instead, he took a sip of tea and then briefly recounted the recent events."Old Master Albert really has some nerve!" Yoel expressed his disbelief. "How about sending the Judge to pay a visit to the Jenkins family and have a chat with him?""We shouldn't resort to force unless necessary!" Howard replied."Fine." Yoel pouted."Is there any update with the Judge?" Howard continued his inquiry.After returning to Mendorra, the Judge came along with Howard and Yoel. Howard instructed him to keep an eye on the Austin, Francis, and Blake families. Once the Jenkins family matter settled down temporarily, he planned to settle scores with these three families.Yoel reported, "I talked to him this afternoon. The Francis and Blake families are quiet

"Let's make a deal. I'll give you a chance." Jayden blew out another smoke ring and added, "If you can defeat all the guys I brought here, I'll immediately compensate for the purchasing price difference in that community. Of course, if you can't handle them, and they end up hurting you pretty bad, I won't be held responsible!"Howard set down his teacup, looked at Jayden, and finally said, "I'll give you a chance too. If you personally go to the community tomorrow morning, apologize to each household, and make up for the money, I'll let you off this time. What do you think?"Jayden burst into laughter. "Interesting! It's been a long time since I heard someone say they'll let me off!"After saying this, Jayden stood up, walked to a nearby chair, and sat down. Then, he raised his hand, signaling his men."Go ahead! But don't go too hard on them!" In an instant, the fifty men raised their weapons and charged toward Howard and Yoel."What a shame." Howard shrugged. Just as he said th

"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
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
