At a rustic-looking mansion in Skyspring…There were numerous people seated in the hall. All of them looked exceptionally grim. There were even a few of them who looked panicky and fearful.Then an old man appeared, entering with the help of a middle-aged woman dressed in a long robe. The old man wore a blank face as he sat down in the center—the power seat.The woman who looked delicate and elegant in the long robe sat beside him. That was the seat of the family head’s wife.No one found the scene unreasonable.The old man was Hudson Wolfenden, the current patriarch of the Skyspring Wolfendens.“Where’s the body?”Hudson’s voice was calm, but everyone in the hall felt the pressure.Someone cried, “Bring him in!”A group of people instantly came in with a stretcher covered with a white cloth.They were the bodyguards who had accompanied Lincoln to Clouspring.An old man around Hudson’s age stood up and shakily went forward to pull the white cloth open.“Lincoln… my grandson
“I could do him this favor if it were anything else.“But this involves something so significant like Lincoln’s death. If I did him this favor, others would think the Wolfendens are pushovers.”Hubert snarled, “Falon Miller thinks too highly of himself!”The second in line, Huxley Wolfenden, sneered as well. “That’s right! Falon needs to know who calls the shot in Skyriv!”The Whitmans would be their warning and lesson to Falon Miller.Meanwhile…Kayson had come to the forest at the back of Aquamarine Manor. He took out the Lightning Wood—a valuable item that regular people could not thoroughly utilize to its maximum potential but not him. He could do it.The Lightning Wood could attract the lightning and thus thunder, absorb its essence, and harvest the power. The pure lightning energy was immensely effective in treating injuries caused by negative energy.This was why Gerald had wanted to get his hands on this Lightning Wood. Despite that, Kayson found it wasteful to use the
Bradley was stunned and became flustered as he did not expect Kayson to leave so soon.“Dr. Yarde…”Kayson stopped in his tracks and turned his head around. “Yes, Mr. Walton Sr.? Is there anything I can help you with?”With his heart hanging in his throat, Bradley asked, “You won’t be mad at us, right?”Kayson chuckled and shook his head. “Of course, I won’t. It's my fault for being abrupt and not thinking about the consequences of you offending the Skyspring Wolfendens.”It was true that he was not going to get angry or mad at them. After all, he could understand their situation.For a moment, Bradley couldn't tell if Kayson was really thinking this way or was just being polite.“Dr. Yarde, I’m a renowned fighter as well, and my words weigh. If you want to, I can go with you to the Skyspring Wolfendens and apologize to them.“If you compensate them with money, there's a possibility that they will forgive you.”After all, the person who had died was not the grandson of the pat
Hendrick’s wizened face trembled as a sad expression appeared on it.He had received a call from Mr. Miller, and the latter was equally exasperated as he was.However, there was nothing he could do since Hudson refused to do the favor for him.He could only remind Hendrick to be more careful since there was a probability that Hudson would attack them to put the fear of God into him.Hendrick accepted his reminder but did not expect that Hudson's people would come so quickly.Michael asked sternly, “What does Mr. Hudson intend to do with me?”Damian replied flatly, “Don’t worry. Mr. Hudson isn’t going to kill you. He just asks me to let you taste a bitter pill.”Michael’s heart was in his throat. He was filled with fear as the person in front of him was too powerful.Raymond could exchange a few blows with some grandmasters, yet he stood no chance against this man. All he took was just a finger, and Raymond was severely wounded the next thing he knew.After Damian finished spea
“Gerald?” The figure seemed a little bit surprised.“You’re… Damian!?” Gerald was shocked as well when he realized who the human figure was. “Of all the people, Hudson sent you here? Does he really want to kill his brother and his family that much?” Damian said calmly, “I'm just carrying out Mr. Hudson's orders. I won’t ask any questions.”Gerald’s face sank. He was well aware of how powerful Damian was and was certain that he was no match for him.Damian continued calmly. “Since you're here, can I say that you're going against Mr. Hudson and protecting Hugh's family?”“I've given my words, so I need to carry out my obligation dutifully,” Gerald said sternly.Although he was no match for Damian, it did not mean he couldn’t hold him off.He just needed to stall him long enough until Kayson returned, and then thet could join forces to take Damian down.A hint of coldness crossed Damian’s eyes as he said, “It seems like you have a death wish. I should warn you. The Templars will
Damian had only one arm left. Blood was gurgling out of his wound and staining the ground on his feet with red.At a distance not far away, Gerald’s face was fully written with shock as he said excitedly, “He’s a pre-celestial fighter who can condense his energy… Yet he can’t even take one punch from Dr. Yarde…”It was only now he realized how much he had underestimated Kayson.Damian controlled his energy around his body and stopped the bleeding.He was able to condense the energy in his body, and it wouldn’t take long before he entered the god stage. Even though he hadn’t completely reached the god stage yet, he had half of his foot stepped into it.“There can’t be such a young pre-celestial fighter in this world! Just who are you?” Damian’s face was filled with surprise as he fixed his gaze on Kayson.Kayson said, “Don't use your limited insight to look at the world. You can't do it, but it doesn't mean that others can't do it either.”Damian’s expression changed, and he said
Gerald looked at Kayson. When he saw the calm expression on Kayson’s face, he continued excitedly. “Could it be that…”“You may circulate your energy inside of your body from time to time in these few days. If nothing goes wrong, it shouldn’t be any problem for you to bring your overall battle prowess to another whole new level.”Gerald’s eyes glowed as he said gratefully, “Thank you, Dr. Yarde!”Kayson shook his head. “However, I need you to do me a favor. I want you to continue to protect the Wolfendens for the time being.”“Rest assured, Dr. Yarde!” Gerald patted his chest and said, “As long as I’m alive, no one can lay a single finger on them!”Kayson had a lot of faith in Gerald since he was a man of his words. That was why he promised Gerald that he would help him improve his combat capabilities to the next level.Since Damian was dead, Kayson returned to Whitman Manse.Michael had called someone to come over and clean up a bit, so the courtyard was a lot cleaner.“Kays
Kayson, Michael, and Noella rushed to Skyspring through the night.The drive from Clouspring to Skyspring required four to five hours.When Sadie received Kayson’s call saying that he would not be back for the night, her temper flared. She tossed and turned on the bed, occasionally glancing at the side of the floor Kayson would sleep at, and retrieved her phone since she could not fall asleep.She swiped to her best friend’s contact and sent her a text but did not get her reply.“Since when does Wanda sleep so early!?”Sadie was frustrated. She could only get up and stomp on Kayson’s duvet with nowhere to vent.Meanwhile, Kayson had no idea that a certain heiress pitifully stampeded his beddings.A few hours later, he and his company arrived in Skyspring at midnight. The capital city of Skyriv, Skyspring, triumphed over the other cities in various aspects.Noella had booked a five-star hotel during the drive, and they headed for it directly upon arrival. She had booked a luxuri
