Willow drove as fast as she could. Kayson had already understood what happened generally.Campian had discovered the whereabouts of a thief and was ready to deploy his members to catch the latter, but the thief actually had a peak-level grandmaster accomplice. Campian and his team fell into their trap and were on the brink of death.It was fortunate that a grandmaster had passed by and saved them, blocking the grandmaster's attacks, or they would have been killed. Despite that, the grandmaster who saved them was severely injured too, and he would certainly die if the battle dragged on.That was why the members spread out with the plan to escape and ask for help. Willow was lucky enough to flee, so she managed to return to Admiralporium for the scene earlier.Naomi did not think much about it as she asked, “What about the captain? Is he badly hurt?”“The team doctor says that it’s critical. He won’t die right away, but he won’t hold out for long…”Tears welled up in Willow’s eye
Jude nodded in feigned sternness, but his eyes glowed when they landed on Naomi.“This is Living Reaper’s mentee, Ms. Naomi Lynn? I’ve heard of your name in Metrocity.”Naomi greeted politely, “Nice to meet you, Mr. Held.”Jude asked flatly, “Why don’t you work in Metrocity?”His tone was kind of strict, almost like he was questioning Naomi.While Naomi did not like the tone, she replied nonetheless, “I’m fond of my hometown and thought I should come back and serve with what I’ve gained.”Jude did not seem to appreciate her thoughts as he commented disdainfully, “Fool. You can only showcase your abilities to the best in Metrocity.“With Living Reaper’s reputation, your opportunities and payment in Metrocity will be much better than regular people.“You can’t even judge which place is more suitable for your growth? I wonder what your mentor teaches you.“Somewhere so backward like Skyriv versus Metrocity… This is the difference between a city and a village!”Naomi was upset. H
It felt like a huge blow to her ego as the mentee of Living Reaper.“Mr. Yarde, why are you here? Did you save me?”Campian, who had just regained consciousness, seemed agitated.Kayson nodded and told him, “Speak less, Captain Wolke. Close your eyes and rest some more.”“Okay, I’ll take your advice, Mr. Yarde,” Campian replied gratefully.Kayson turned to say, “Naomi, I’ll leave the rest of Captain Wolke’s case to you and go check on the grandmaster who’s kindly helped them.”“Mn.”It felt weird to Naomi. Why did it feel like she became Kayson’s assistant? If her mentor were to find out, he would probably shake in a rage. Naomi sighed inwardly. She wanted to complain to her mentor that it was not that she lacked as his apprentice—Kayson was simply too unbelievably skilled!Kayson went to the elder grandmaster, who had jumped in to save the day. The latter’s hair and beard were white, and so was his face, as his vital signs were barely showing. His internal organs were also inj
Danson did as he was told before he exclaimed in delight, “I can do it! I can control my energy now!”The issue that had been bothering him for years was actually resolved today. He was so thrilled that he wanted to howl into the sky.Those who knew him knew that he was a chivalrous man who would step in at the sight of injustice, but they also felt bad for him—that life was not fair to him. He was such a kind soul, but this was the bad ending he received. The life he had was worse than most criminals.Danson had not hoped to be repaid for his kind deeds, but he was overwhelmed with emotions now that his injuries healed. Life had not given up on him!“Please accept this bow from me, Dr. Yarde!”Danson wore a solemn look and was going to get on his knees, but Kayson quickly stopped him.“Stop messing with me, Mr. Walde. If you hadn't acted in the name of justice earlier, my friends would probably be dead.“I should be the one thanking you!”Danson laughed heartily. “Haha, alrigh
An intimidating force rose within Jude’s body, scaring most of them in the cave.“Mr. Held, it’s a misunderstanding! This is a misunderstanding!” Felicity quickly spoke up. The force made her feel like she was being choked and filled her with fear.Campian’s expression morphed into terror and anxiousness. ‘Sh*t!’Although Kayson could not be blamed, Jude was from Eternalporium after all!Kayson turned to tell him, “Captain Wolke, if I kill him, you have to be my witness that he provoked me first.”Campian jolted and could not help coughing again.Jude snarled, “What a bold claim to say that you’d kill me!“In that case, why don’t you try me? Let’s see if you’re only sharp with your tongue!”Jude attacked with a palm strike right after he spoke. Domineering power launched itself into intangible steel energy that the wall of the cave cracked from the pressure.Danson narrowed his eyes as he cried in a low warning tone, “Dr. Yarde, watch out!”He dashed forward and countered wit
Kayson and the others left the cave and walked down to a relatively flat area.Jude was already standing there waiting, intimidating and authoritative, with his arms on his back.A strong man with sinewy muscles walked out from the woods. Each step he took unnerved everyone there. He stopped when he saw Jude.Jude spoke plainly. “You got away from an easy fight just now, and you actually dare come back again. Have you not realized the disparity of our abilities?”The muscular man did not say anything but kept an indifferent gaze on Jude. It put a frown between Jude’s brows as his expression turned icy. “I’m Jude Held from Eternalporium. Who are you?”“Gael Sky.”The man finally said something. That was all, though, before he stomped a foot and vanished in a flash.A menacing steel gale appeared the moment he vanished and swept toward Jude.Jude raised a brow and exclaimed, “Your inner energy is high in intensity. Interesting!”Gael appeared right before Jude and sent a punch r
Kayson shook his head and stepped away, asking, “What physical training technique do you practice?”“Gilded Guard.”Gael asked indifferently, “I heard that you practice the Titanium Technique?”Kayson nodded. “Yeah. I haven’t reached the heaven stage yet. I’m currently perfecting the stage of being a steel fighter.”“I’m slightly stronger than you then. I became a titanium fighter a few days ago,” replied Gael.Without using any power or energy, their fists then met with just the execution of physically-trained steel power.With the loud sound, Kayson staggered a few steps back, feeling his insides churn. He was alarmed. That was a heavy punch. The power of a titanium fighter was extraordinary!“Your Titanium Technique’s decent,” Gael commented calmly. “It’s unfortunate that I’m instructed to kill you.”Kayson arched his brow and asked, “So you’re from Eden Joy? This was a trap to lure me here today, and Willow’s escape was intentional?”That was because Willow was the only on
Gael was severely injured since he had taken Kayson’s Vulcan Firepalm twice. If he was still able to move about freely, the power of the Gilded Guard would be terrifying.As he half lay on the ground with two arms supporting his upper body, his gaze held no fear for death as he kept it on Kayson.“The Titanium Technique lives up to its reputation,” Gael praised sincerely after a moment of silence.Kayson did not get too close to him as he tossed the Lightning Charmboards out. The charmboards hovered above Gael on two sides facing each other. He asked, “You should recognize the Lightning Charmboard, right?”Gael nodded. “Master Gray’s work. Of course I know about it. I didn’t expect that I still couldn’t kill you even after deflecting your darksoul.“You even have Lightning Charmboards now, and you know how to use them… Who are you?”Kayson did not answer him but continued asking, “With what you can do, even if you aren’t unrivaled at the grandmaster level, there shouldn’t be many
