Last Man Standing Chapter 611
Howard let out a sigh. "Shylah, how are you going to manage a household if you marry Lukas when you're so...detached?""Are you teasing me, Howard?" Shylah's cheeks tinged with a hint of pink."Work's important, sure, but life's more than that. You've got to invest a little more in living, you know?" Howard's smile was warm and encouraging. "You could take a page out of Nevaeh's book. She's got the work-life balance down to an art—effortless and graceful. Isn't that something?""Sir, I..." Shylah's voice was barely above a whisper."Hey, no need to freeze up. I don't swing by your neck of the woods often, so you owe me a decent meal, don't you think?" Howard's laughter cut through her hesitation.Shylah was exceptional in many ways, but she seemed almost too ethereal as if she was on the verge of transcending worldly concerns.She was more talkative with him, but around others, she was the epitome of an ice queen, barely uttering a word.When she did speak, it was usually with a

The woman was in her mid-twenties, with a radiant complexion and a slender figure. She wore a touch of makeup and carried herself with an undeniable elegance.She graced the room in a flowing green dress, her black coat trailing behind her. Waves of hair cascaded over one shoulder, complemented by the glint of an emerald necklace at her throat. She had the unmistakable air of high lineage.Trailing her was an older man, his presence exuding a seasoned strength that marked him as more than the average martial artist. Two burly bodyguards in black suits, faces set in stern lines, followed suit."Who's she? Do you know her?" Howard leaned in, curiosity piqued as he nudged Shylah.Truth be told, Shylah's own striking features and aura held their own against the newcomer. However, Shylah's taste for warrior's garb over gowns meant she blended into the background more than the lady in green."Sir, that's Selena Fabish, the Fabish family's pride and joy. She's Quintilian's very own renai

"I can't fathom what went down. Even if they rubbed someone the wrong way, wiping out her whole family is just... It's unthinkable!"Selena took a moment to compose herself before adding, "Shylah, there's more to this than meets the eye. Watch your back, okay? And ring me if you need an extra pair of hands.""Thanks, Selena," Shylah acknowledged with a nod."Mr. Lincoln, Shylah, I'll leave you two for your meal," Selena said, addressing them both."One of these days, I'll have to treat you to a bite. Hope you'll join me.""Sure thing, go handle your business," Shylah nodded once more."Mr. Lincoln, take care," Selena bid Howard goodbye and made her exit.Soon after, Howard and Shylah's food arrived at the table."Sir, don't tell me Selena's smitten with you just from one glance?" Shylah said earnestly after she poured Howard a half cup of coffee. "I've noticed she's got a certain...something in her gaze when she looks at you."Howard picked up a fork and lightly tapped her for

"Let's check it out." Howard's brow creased as he rose and headed for the stairs, Shylah right on his heels.Meanwhile, just a short distance from the third-floor staircase, a tense standoff was unfolding between two factions: Selena's group and the Blood Leopard's crew.Selena and her close-guard were both nursing injuries, the marks of a recent skirmish. Two other men, dressed in black, lay still on the ground, barely hanging on to life. It seemed unlikely they would last much longer."Ms. Fabish, what's it going to be? Made up your mind yet?" Blood Leopard eyed Selena with a mix of impatience and amusement. "I'd suggest you come quietly with me. Otherwise, it'd be a real shame if my friends here accidentally marred that pretty face of yours.""Blood Leopard, you lowlife, do you have any idea what you're getting yourself into?" Selena's bodyguard glared at him, his voice thick with anger. "Do you really think the Fabish family is a pushover?""Oh, I'm shaking in my boots!" Blood

"Selena, what's the deal here?" Shylah had reached Selena's side."That jerk Kylo is trying to bully me into signing some transfer agreement. I said no, so he sent Blood Leopard and his goons to drag me to a meeting with him," Selena explained."Transfer agreement?" Shylah raised an eyebrow in surprise."The Waker family has been drooling over a shipping business our Fabish family owns. They've been pushing for a buyout, but we're not selling," Selena clarified."Shylah, this is none of the Shadow Sect's business. I'd advise you to stay out of it," Blood Leopard said, his voice steady after a deep breath."And who are these guys?" Shylah gestured toward the two young men."Lord Shylah, they're the Cold-faced Twin Devils, A-Class Fugitives from your own Shadow Sect," Izel chimed in, picking himself up off the ground.Shylah's brow furrowed at that.The sound of heavy breathing filled the air.Hearing that, the two grim enforcers bolted for the stairwell.The Shadow Sect had sp

"What... What?" Blood Leopard's eyes widened in shock before he vehemently shook his head. "No...never heard of it..."A heavy sigh escaped him.The big boss of the shady underworld had been so rattled by Howard's strike that his thoughts were a jumbled mess.Still, how could he, the top dog of Quintilian's criminal world, not know about the Canfield family's big scandal? His denial was as good as an admission of guilt.Howard's hand sent a slicing gust of wind that cut across Blood Leopard's shoulder like a knife's edge.A heavy thud followed as an arm, cleanly severed, dropped to the ground, blood gushing out in torrents."Ah!" Blood Leopard's scream pierced the air.His crew, witnessing the horror, shuddered and scrambled back several meters."Tell me everything you know, and maybe, just maybe, you'll save your own skin," Howard said, closing the distance with a calm stride.He had merely thrown out a question to probe, but it turned out the man actually knew something."I

"Thank you, Master Howard!" Izel bowed deeply in gratitude."It's all good," Howard replied with a smile, then turned to Selena. "Ms. Fabish, I'd appreciate it if you kept today's events under wraps for the time being.""You have my word. Not a peep from me!" Selena declared."Thanks," Howard said with a nod.Kaison was quick on his feet. In no time, he showed up at the stairwell with a crew of ten from the Shadow Sect."Take these folks back and make sure they stay out of touch with the outside world," Howard ordered, gesturing toward Blood Leopard's gang."Consider it done!" Kaison from the state gave a firm nod."Shylah, we're out," said Howard. They both made a beeline for the stairs, Shylah right on his heels.Blood Leopard's tip pointed them to a motel in the Quintilian suburbs, a stone's throw from where Howard and his company had their meal.As they made their way, back at the motel, a man in his forties lounged on a couch, leisurely puffing away at his cigarette.A w

"What the—?" The four men shook their feet.Howard and Shylah then stepped through the wreckage."Monsters!" Shylah's voice thundered as she saw the woman on the couch."Look what we have here; it's another knockout!" The ponytailed man's surprise quickly turned into a leer as he advanced on Shylah, gulping."And who might you two be? Got a death wish?" The previously speaking man scowled, his brow furrowed.He was the toughest of the bunch, nearly a martial knight in skill. He could not get a read on Howard, but Shylah... She radiated danger."Sir, your orders?" Shylah glanced at Howard."Spare one. The rest? End them," Howard commanded, ice in his voice.Shylah had been itching to move. At Howard's command, her curved blade sang through the air."You filthy—" The ponytailed man's insult was cut short as the blade sliced through him.Thump!He tried to speak, but no words came. He fell, his body convulsing briefly before going still."Brother!""Big Bro!"The three men l

"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
