Last Man Standing Chapter 553
"Well, if Sapphira's at the helm, so of course there's no issue. It's just..." Talia began."Great, that's all I needed to hear!" Howard interrupted her. "You and Nance should start on the prep work today. I promise, by tomorrow, you'll be ready to ink the deal."The Wadsworths' days were numbered. After that day, they practically vanished from the Sullivan scene. For the Redfern family, one of the Sullivan elite, scooping up the Wadsworths' leftovers was a piece of cake."But…what about the Wadsworths?" Talia's voice quivered with a mix of excitement and concern.Knowing Howard as she did, he was not one to make empty promises. If he was that confident, it was almost a sure bet."By the end of the day, the name Wadsworth will be history in Sullivan," Howard said calmly.Talia gasped, her eyes wide as she turned to Howard. "Did the Wadsworths get themselves into trouble?""Big trouble," Howard confirmed with a nod. "The kind that demands a heavy price.""Is that so? Oh, thank y

With a resounding crash, Lukas' wrists flicked in rapid succession, his blades slicing through the estate's hefty gates, reducing them to splinters.1000 Shadow Sect Elegant Uniformed Troops poured in, swiftly forming into four precise formations around the courtyard, while Howard and his associates took their positions at its heart.Simultaneously, a wave of 400 to 500 people burst from the estate's interior, their faces etched with sheer terror.Since dusk yesterday, everyone in the Wadsworth household had been on edge, restless and without a wink of sleep, food, or drink. It was as if they were all bracing for a verdict day, a tension-filled anticipation that only those who have lived through it could truly grasp.A group soon stepped out from an opulent villa on the compound's eastern side, the Wadsworth family's inner circle, all except for Baxter. At the forefront was Bruges Wadsworth, the family's current patriarch."The audacity of you Shadow Sect folks, sealing off our es

Bruges' words were meant for all ears in the room."So be it. Your wish is granted!" Lukas bellowed. "Cilix, do it. Off with his head!""Understood!" Unable to contain his eagerness, Cilix lunged forward, his scimitar slicing through the air with a chilling flash."Hold it right there!" a new voice erupted from behind Bruges and his crew.In a blur, a figure charged into the fray, his own massive blade clashing against Cilix's.The two warriors staggered back, their strength evenly matched, each holding their ground after the explosive encounter."Whoa!" The attacker was taken aback as Cilix effortlessly parried his blow, a flicker of surprise crossing his face."Not bad, let's go again!" Despite the wounds that marred his body, Cilix's zeal for battle was unshaken.With a resolute tone, he hoisted his sword, poised to launch another assault."Cilix!" Howard's voice rang out, halting him.Howard's command was still hanging in the air when a procession emerged from the grand e

"If you dare to cross swords with my Shadow Sect's Elegant Uniformed Troops again, it'll be your last!" warned Lukas with an icy edge to his voice."Empty threats!" the man bellowed, drawing his sword for another assault."You're courting death, and I'm happy to oblige!" Lukas' gaze hardened as he raised his blade to clash once more.The air was filled with the sound of metal on metal. In under two minutes, they traded blows in over a dozen exchanges. Lukas' energy seemed to outshine his opponent's by just a fraction."Stay down!" Lukas growled after a few more rounds, unleashing the Cold Moon Blade Technique.A flawless crescent of light arced through the air, cutting off any chance of escape.The man's eyes narrowed as he felt the impending doom of the strike.With no way out, he had to counterattack, pouring all his power into a desperate block.However, it was too late. An arm, severed at the shoulder, hit the ground along with his sword. Blood gushed out.The man's scream

The elder spat out blood and tumbled to the ground, his eyes flickering with utter despair."You thought you could mess with a Shadow Sect district governor? That's a death sentence!" Mystical Chubby advanced and swung his hand down again."You wouldn't dare!" Berrte cried out furiously.Her protest was cut short as the elder's neck snapped, his head lolling lifelessly.Bruges' family gasped in horror.A mid-stage martial knight, taken down so effortlessly? If this guy wanted to wipe out their Wadsworth family, it would be a cakewalk!"Son of a—" Berrte shook with fury.'I had only brought eight people with me to Sullivan, and in a blink, we were down by two,' dreaded Berrte."Enough with the noise!" Mystical Chubby glared at Berrte. "You're the one who ordered a hit on my Shadow Sect's district heads, aren't you? Do you even realize the gravity of your offense?"The guy had some smarts. He was clearly trying to pull Berrte into the mess."Watch your tongue! Do you have any i

By then, even the dimmest bulb like Berrte had pieced together who Howard was.Based on what she knew, the Shadow Sect had some tough district governors, with Lukas from the central district being the top dog. However, even his cultivation base was just at the tail end of the martial knight initial stage.Howard was a different case. The power he was showing off was easily on par with a martial ancesto, if not higher!Who else in the Shadow Sect could flex like that, other than the Sect Master himself?The thought sent shivers down her spine, her face cycling through shades of sheer terror.Regret flooded her heart. If only she had known Master Howard was in Sullivan, she would not have dared to step foot there—not for all the courage in the world.She had really dug her own grave.Her admission sent the Wadsworth family's inner circle into a freefall, all of them shaking like leaves in dread.Was this man truly the legendary King of the West, Master Howard? The Wadsworths were

Berrte was painfully aware that she could then only summon the strength of a mere martial master.Rage boiled within her. Years of dedication, undone in a single blow."Had it not been for your foolish youth, you'd be lying dead before me," Howard said, his voice icy. "Consider this a first and final warning. Cross me again with your wicked ways, and I'll end you."With that, his voice dropped to a growl. "Get out!"With a huff, Berrte let out a heavy sigh of dark energy, picked herself up, and silently made her way to the estate's gate.As she turned, a look of deep spite flashed in her eyes.She would not let that insult go so easily!Once Berrte was gone, Bruges stumbled over to Howard, bowing deeply."I beg you... Master Howard, have mercy... Please spare the Wadsworth family this once... We won't dare to cross you again...""Master Howard, please have mercy..." echoed the pleas of the Wadsworth family's other key members."Lukas, to me!" Howard commanded, paying them no

The fall of the Wadsworth family spread like wildfire through Sullivan by dawn, with many celebrating the downfall of what they considered a blight on the city.Over the next couple of days, the Redfern family scooped up the Wadsworths' key businesses.The Redfern patriarch even brought the Redfern family's inner circle to meet with Howard, offering heartfelt thanks for his role in their windfall.The Redferns had hit the jackpot, becoming Sullivan's top dogs overnight.For the following two days, Howard cleared his schedule to escort Talia to work and back.On the third morning, Talia, on behalf of Swanson Group, inked a deal with the Redfern Group, sealing the partnership."Congrats, honey!" Howard beamed at Talia when they got back to their hotel room from the Redfern Group."It's all because of you, darling!" Talia gazed at Howard with deep affection, "Thank you, my love!"After landing the project, Talia finally felt a huge relief. That big win was sure to boost her standi

"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

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
