Last Man Standing Chapter 444
"I was out on business yesterday and didn't come back to the villa last night. This morning, I went to pick up the young master for work, but he wasn't at the villa."I tried his cell, but it was off. I even checked with his secretary, and she confirmed he didn't show up at the office today."I thought maybe he switched off his phone for a flight, so I had someone check the flights out of Mareno City today. No sign of him boarding."His phone's still off!""Hmm?" A distant feeling settled over Howard. "Anything out of the ordinary at the villa?""Nothing! The place was spotless. I think the young master never made it home last night," Old Tucker assured him."Is there anyone else who's usually with Kenny besides you?" Howard pressed on."Two others, but their phones are off too," Old Tucker said."Do you know what his plans were last night?" Howard's concern deepened."He was supposed to be hosting some guests at the Justiniano Hotel.""Got it. Keep searching his usual spots

"Reporting to the district governors, someone's monkeyed with the Justiniano Hotel's surveillance system, and no records to be found," Onyx reported."The hotel claims their system's been on the fritz for two days, and they haven't gotten around to fixing it yet.""And the cameras outside?" the Judge pressed."We've only got footage of Mr. Carter going into the hotel. Nothing on him leaving," Onyx replied."There's an underground garage at the Justiniano Hotel. Carter might've hitched a ride with someone else, or he could still be holed up in the hotel.""Hmm?" the Judge's brow furrowed."Also, we've checked Carter's phone logs. His last call was indeed made from the hotel," Onyx added."Got it. Stand by for my instructions," the Judge said before ending the call.After briefing Howard on the latest developments, a curious glint appeared in his eyes."Hmm?" Howard's brow furrowed. "What's the deal with the Justiniano Hotel?""The Justiniano Hotel is one of the top luxury hote

Footsteps echoed down the corridor as a squad of security guards approached. "Ms. Bromley, is there a problem?" one of them inquired, eyeing the woman in uniform."They're here to see the boss. I've told them she's not available, but they won't take no for an answer," she responded."Gentlemen, our boss really isn't here. If you need to see her, you'll have to come back another time," the man addressed the trio."Do I have to resort to violence?" the Judge's brow creased with irritation."Do you have any idea where you are? Let me give you a friendly tip. If you don't want trouble, don't make a scene. Otherwise, you're going to regret it," the man warned with a grave tone."So, you're not going to call her out?" A distant aura began to radiate from the Judge."It seems you came here looking for a fight!" The man's frown deepened, and with a wave of his hand, he commanded, "Kick them out!""Roger that!" The seven guards behind him responded in unison and advanced swiftly toward t

"Sophronia!" The Black Panther crew bowed deeply as they greeted her, their voices laced with reverence."My apologies, the folks downstairs aren't too familiar with how things work around here. Please excuse them," Sophronia said, her eyes sweeping over Howard before breaking into a warm smile.She felt a twinge of surprise. She could not pick up on any martial arts energy from the trio. Could they possibly be stronger than her?There was something about Howard. Even Sophronia, who prided herself on her worldly experiences, felt an aura around him like none she had ever encountered, one that dwarfed the presence of any high-profile figure she had met before."So, you're Sophronia?" Howard's voice was composed, detached."That's me!" Sophronia's smile did not waver. "Would you three care to join me upstairs for a bit?""Sounds good," Howard agreed with a nod.The hall was getting crowded, and it was not the place for a private talk.Minutes later, they were in a banquet hall on

Howard looked at Sophronia, impatience in his voice. "I'm running out of patience, so make up your mind."Sophronia let out a heavy sigh and took another sip of her coffee."I honestly don't know where Mr. Carter has gone. I haven't seen him since we shared a drink last night."However, there was another group here last night. If something's happened to Mr. Carter, they might be involved."Also, last night, someone snuck into the hotel's security room and wiped all the surveillance footage from the last few days. It's gotta be their handiwork," Sophronia said, taking a deep breath to steady herself."Who are we talking about?" Howard's brow creased in concern."The Mareno City Chamber of Commerce!" Sophronia pressed on."From what I've gathered, they've been dying to have Mr. Carter join their ranks, but he's not biting. He's turned them down time and again, and there's been bad blood between them for a while," she explained."The Mareno City Chamber of Commerce?" Howard paused

"Sophronia, that's no way to welcome a guest!" A man's voice echoed from the corridor."I come here in good faith to talk business, and your goons block the door? That's a bit much, don't you think?"With that, a man in his forties with a face crisscrossed by knife scars walked in, his menacing look intensified by the aura of violence that clung to him.Right behind him was a gaunt man in yellow, with fingers like delicate twigs and skin paler than any lady's, his eyes occasionally betraying a sinister gleam.Two muscular men followed, each gripping a machete, their demeanor fierce."Flower Scorpion, is that you!?" Sophronia's expression tightened at the sight of the leader, and she shot a quick glance at Howard.Talk about perfect timing!"Tsks, Sophronia, you've gotten even prettier since I last saw you!" Flower Scorpion strode into the hall, completely ignoring Howard and the rest, his eyes lingering on Sophronia."I made a special trip to see you last night, but you avoided

"Sophronia, my apologies for the rough handling," the man in yellow said with a cold smile."Flower Scorpion, are you really trying to start a fight with us?" Sophronia asked, ignoring his feigned politeness and addressing Flower Scorpion directly with an icy tone."Sophronia, I'm here to offer a partnership, nothing more," Flower Scorpion said with a smirk."However, if you refuse to join our association today, it'll be tough for me to explain back home, and you might find yourself in a tight spot.""Tell Mr. Harper to forget it. I, Sophronia, have no intention of joining the Mareno City Chamber of Commerce," she replied calmly."Okay, then!" Flower Scorpion shrugged nonchalantly. "Sorry it has to be this way."He was about to attack Sophronia, his martial prowess on par with hers."Is that you, Flower Scorpion?" Howard's voice suddenly cut through the tension."Recognize me?" Flower Scorpion paused, a flicker of surprise crossing his face before he turned to look back. "What

The Judge had held back until then, quietly dug into the newcomer's past through the system. What they said was true: you never knew until you looked. What he found was chilling.The Jade-faced master, with his delicate features, was not innocent. He carried the weight of seven or eight lives on his conscience, snuffed out for the pettiest of reasons. Two had simply teased him about his feminine looks and met their end for it.Then, that vile murderer had crossed their path, the Judge knew what had to be done."Please, no..." The Jade-faced master's eyes shrank to pinpricks as he felt the impending strike, desperately trying to dodge.However, his skills as a martial general were no match for the Judge.Thud!It echoed as the Jade-faced master was sent sprawling through the air, hitting the ground hard. He gasped, trying to speak, but life left him before he could utter a word. His eyes remained open, staring in disbelief.He had spent years on the run, thinking he had finally s

"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
