Last Man Standing Chapter 628
With no second thoughts, Norwin bolted for the estate's grand entrance. Having thought to challenge the Shadow Sect, he abandoned all hope of fortune upon realizing Howard's true identity.Against the King of the West, Master Howard, his own men were nothing. Even the entire Waker family combined would not pose a threat, not even enough to be considered a nuisance.The Calnan family's fate was a stark reminder of that.That was no ordinary family, they were a celestial-titled lineage, a notch above his own Waker family, and they had nearly been wiped out by the notorious King of the West."Think you can get away?" He had barely made it a few steps when Shylah's voice cut through the air, followed by the swift slash of her blade.Zip!The blade's edge whizzed by, narrowly missing his right knee. His lower leg tumbled to the ground as he crashed down."Ah!" A scream of agony escaped."Please...don't kill me..." Norwin, ignoring the throbbing pain in his leg, pleaded as Shylah clo

"You're too kind, Mr. Yash Fabish," Shylah replied."Mr. Lincoln, Shylah, I can't thank you enough!" Selena said, her face beaming with gratitude as she approached them."Ms. Fabish, please, it was nothing," Howard said with a light smile. "Our business here is done. We'll be on our way.""Master Howard, just a moment, please!" Yash called out.He reached into his coat and pulled out an aged piece of rice paper, handing it to Howard. "Master Howard, this is the formula the Waker noble family has been after. I'm not sure what it's for."The head of the Canfield family made it very clear that it shouldn't end up in the wrong hands, so it's probably not just any ordinary item. You've seen a lot, Master Howard. Any idea what it is?""Let me have a look," said Howard, taking the paper and scanning it."Aha!" His eyes brightened after a brief moment."Master Howard, you recognize this formula?" Yash asked, prompted by Howard's intrigued look, while the others leaned in, equally curio
Last Man Standing Chapter 630
Howard's decision to safeguard the formula was driven by one sole purpose: to prevent the Fabish family from facing any more calamities.The formula was not just a magnet for the Dark Shady Cartel, it also held a powerful allure for various secretive clans and sects.With the word out, the Fabish family's current power was not enough to defend it. Holding onto the formula would only spell big trouble for them.Howard himself was not too fussed about the formula. If he really wanted something like it, the Rectenwald sect would have his back.However, truth be told, he was not all that into using potions to boost his power. He was a firm believer in the path of combat.In his eyes, true strength came from unlocking one's potential through relentless battle, not from any bottle.Take the Blood Shadow Force, for instance. On an even playing field, any rival who relied on potions for power would not last three rounds against the Blood Shadow warriors.Potions were just a boost, not t
Last Man Standing Chapter 631
If Howard was going to strike at the Waker family, he had to hit them hard—wipe them out root and branch. So, he gave them a day to get their act together, enough time to call in all their heavy hitters."Got it!" Kaison said, his surprise quickly giving way to a firm nod.While Howard and his crew were making their way back to the Shadow Sect headquarters, at the heart of the Waker estate, inside the grandest villa of them all, two men sat in solemn conference.One, clad in robes that harked back to ancient times, was none other than the patriarch of the Waker family, Kevin Waker.His companion, garbed in somber gray, wore no expression on his face, his eyes sharp as daggers. His very presence seemed to swirl with menace—a man clearly not to be trifled with."Mr. Abason, let me offer my early congratulations!" Kevin said, lifting a glass of red wine from the table with a nod towards the other man. "Once you secure that formula, and report back, you're bound to climb even higher."
Last Man Standing Chapter 632
"Why the panic?" Kevin's expression turned stormy. "What could go so wrong?""I've just got word... the Third Master and everyone he took to the Fabish estate... They've all been cut down by the Shadow Sect." The guest struggled to get the words out, his throat dry with fear."What!?" Kevin's voice boomed.Italo, standing nearby, was momentarily stunned."Are you sure!?" Kevin demanded, his voice thick with rage."Positive..." the guest replied. "We double-checked as soon as we got the news...""Damn it!" Kevin's eyes were aflame as he slammed his hand down, reducing the coffee table to splinters."Master, there's more... The Shadow Sect sent a message," the guest stammered on."Out with it!" Kevin barked."They claim the Canfield family's secret formula is now in their possession… They also said the Third Master had spilled everything. They're giving you one day to surrender to the Shadow Sect, or else...they'll storm the Waker family compound to take prisoners.""Hmm!?" Ita

"Exactly," Shylah agreed."These leeches. They used to go nuts planting their cronies in every office they could. They've dialed it back these days, but their web's been spun wide."The high and mighty Waker family and their ilk are all in it together. If the family hits a snag, it's going to ripple right through their precious careers."So, whenever the Waker family hits a rough patch, you can bet these guys will show up to play."Howard nodded, his expression unreadable.After placing his cup down, he pressed on with his questioning, "And the Special Patrol folks? Are they the ones running the northern districts?""Absolutely," Shylah confirmed with another nod.Howard's gaze sharpened. "Impressive! The noble families really do hold some serious influence.""Sir, the Waker family must've caught wind that you're in Quintilian. They wouldn't send these people otherwise," Shylah added."Of course, they would've figured it out easily enough," Howard agreed. "What's the deal with
Last Man Standing Chapter 634
"Got it!" Kaison nodded emphatically before turning to Kevin and raising his voice."First off, the Waker family orchestrated a massacre of the entire Canfield family, then silenced the hitman who carried it out."Second, they're in cahoots with the Dark Shady Cartel, responsible for the death of four of our Shadow Sect members and the critical injury of our esteemed elder, Black Blade. Both charges are capital offenses!""Clear enough for you now?" Howard asked, his gaze fixed on Kevin."So that's what you were talking about, Master Howard. I only heard the news last night myself!" Kevin took a deep, silent breath before speaking again, his voice heavy with grief."What a tragedy for our family. All this was the secret doing of that disgrace, Norwin!"After getting the news yesterday, I thought of having him seized and dragged to the Shadow Sect to answer for his crimes. However, I found out he'd already been dealt with, so I let it go."The head of a noble house sure knew how

"Hold it right there!" The middle-aged man's commanding voice stopped him in his tracks.He then turned his attention to Howard."Master Howard, I'm familiar with the situation. It truly was an individual act by Norwin, the Waker family's third in command. It's unrelated to the rest of the Waker family. I trust you'll understand...""What's your name?" Howard cut him off."Metro Defense, Yvain Hayes," the middle-aged man replied, surprised."Does your view reflect your personal opinion or Metro Defense's?" Howard pressed on."What... What do you mean?" Yvain's heart skipped a beat."Answer me." Howard's voice grew stern.Yvain steadied himself with a deep breath before answering, "I... I'm with Metro Defense, so my views naturally represent Metro Defense...""Good to know," Howard said dismissively. He then pulled out his phone and dialed Monty, hitting the speaker button without another glance at Yvain."Master Howard!" Monty's voice came immediately after the first ring.Y

"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
