"You're a bunch of shameless pervs!"Waverly didn't spare the men's pride at all. She warned, "Please leave us alone! Otherwise, we'll call the cops on you!"The men cackled."What are they talking about? Calling the cops on us? Cutie, I guess you don't know who we are, eh?" a bald man crowed haughtily. "This beach resort belongs to me! Not only that, but I also own a few entertainment establishments here! My net worth is 300 million dollars, you know!"He continued, "This right here is the CEO of Lighthart Group! His net worth is a billion dollars! As for that man, he's…"The bald man introduced his companions one by one. All of them were billionaires.Qyra just huffed coldly. "So what? You're nothing to me! I'm going to warn you one more time—get out of my sight right now!""Oh? You're a feisty one, aren't you?"The bald man licked his lips while grinning lecherously. "I've seen too many women like you. You pretend to be innocent when you're secretly a whore on the inside.
"Oh, shit!""I didn't expect the security team to react this quickly. There are so many of them, too. I think there are at least 100 guards at this point.""That guy's toast! Those two beautiful ladies most likely won't be able to escape from their fate, too!"The onlookers began muttering among themselves.The leader of the security guards roared ferociously, "How dare you beat up our boss, you punk! You really have the balls of steel, huh? I won't be able to rest easy unless I cripple you and torture you to the point you wish you'd have died!"As for you two slutty bitches… Heh! I'll make sure to imprint the ways of true ecstasy on your bodies later!"Waverly and Qyra looked terrified. They knew that Gideon was strong, but they had no idea how strong he actually was. Of course, they wouldn't assume that Gideon was strong enough to face hundreds of security guards on his own. That was practically impossible!What should they do?Waverly and Qyra hid behind Gideon in fright.
The trio chose to dine at a restaurant that specialized in stews. Soon, they took their seats at a table.Waverly was still in awe and shock of what happened at the beach. "Gideon, you were so cool! I can't believe you actually defeated 100 people on your own!""It was nothing.""Gideon, what have you been doing in the past five years? Did you get yourself a mentor and learn how to fight?" Waverly asked curiously.Gideon nodded. "In a way, yeah. I picked up many skills on the way. They're all necessary to my plans.""Gideon, why don't you give us a sneak peek? Where on earth were you over the past five years?" Qyra looked very curious.Waverly was eager to hear his answer, too.Gideon smiled at them. He was about to respond to them when a middle-aged woman appeared next to his table."Hello, sir.""Hmm?"Gideon raised an eyebrow. "Who are you?""Hello, sir. Who I am isn't important. What's important is that my mistress is very interested in you. You're a very skilled fighter
"I understand now, Ms. Steele. I'll get it done right away."The middle-aged woman looked quite excited. She had already made up her mind to inform Kingsley Manson, the strongest man in Iron Fist Guild, to teach Gideon a proper lesson.…Gideon, Waverly, and Qyra decided to go for a soak in the hot spring after their meal. This was Waverly's request. It seemed that she planned on showing off her figure in front of Gideon on purpose.After all, Gideon was still stuck in a cooling-off period before his divorce. In a month, he'd be a bachelor once again. Waverly needed to make some preparations in advance in order to plant a seed of romance in Gideon's heart. She still had feelings for him after all these years.When they were about to head toward the hot spring, Anna's phone call came through."Sir, when are you coming back? Ms. Mosley is still waiting for you!""Tell her to get lost.""What?" Anna seemed shocked. She had no idea that there was a discord between Gideon and La
"Ten-year memberships?"The manager, Thomas Roth, was stunned. The young man next to him was surprised, too. He said curiously, "Let's check it out. Only a handful of clients apply for ten-year memberships, and I happen to know all of them.""This way please, sir." Thomas was very respectful to the man.Rosette Springs was a business under the Walker family of Goldspire. The young man was the scion of the Walker family, Vincent Walker."Sir, my boss, Mr. Walker, and my manager are here."Gideon turned around at that moment.Vincent froze up instantly. He exclaimed, "Gideon Snow?""Oh?"Gideon racked his brains for a while. Finally, he remembered who Vincent was."It's you, Vincent. Long time no see.""Yeah… It's been a while, indeed."Vincent walked over and stuck out his hand. He and Gideon shook hands briefly.After that, he said in a friendly manner, "The upper crust has been buzzing about your return lately. I didn't believe the rumor at first. But wow, I didn't think
The moment the man walked into Rosette Springs, his presence attracted everyone's attention immediately.The front desk agent was so terrified that she summoned the security guards instantly. Even so, the man's ferocious demeanor was extremely intimidating.Even the leader of the security guards was wholly affected. He tentatively asked, "Sir, are you here to enjoy the hot springs? Or are you here because of other reasons?""I'm here to look for someone!""Who are you looking for, sir?"The man tossed a photo to the front. He stated, "The guy in this photo! Tell me which private room he's in!"The leader looked at the photo, soon recognizing the man as Gideon.Vincent had made small talk with Gideon earlier with the leader around, so the latter recognized Gideon right away.But high-end establishments always protected their clients' privacy. Also, the leader thought Gideon and Vincent were friends, so he felt that he couldn't possibly give up Gideon's information to the man.L
Giden asked, "Who sent you? Could you be from that Iron Fist Guild or whatever it's called?"Kingsley's expression darkened. He was the strongest fighter in Iron Fist Guild, and it was what had changed his life. Iron Fist Guild was his home. He wouldn't allow anyone to look down on it!"How dare you insult Iron Fist Guild? Very well, then. I'll break your bones one by one to teach you a lesson!" Kingsley laughed maniacally.Gideon sneered at him, looking disdainful. "How interesting! This Iron Fist Guild is quite domineering, isn't it? You want to get rid of me just because I refuse to join. Even world-class organizations aren't as unreasonable as you and your guild are.""There's no need to be reasonable with weaklings," Kingsley retorted."I agree." Gideon nodded. "You make a good point. That's why I don't need to be reasonable with you."Kingsley sneered. "You're all talk."Then, he darted toward Gideon, swinging a fist at his chest. It hurtled through the air.Gideon didn't
Gideon's words were spoken carelessly. To him, Iron Fist Guild meant nothing. He wasn't the slightest bit interested in it.But to Kingsley, he sounded arrogant and domineering to the extreme. Kingsley couldn't say anything to refute him, though. After all, Gideon was too strong. He was strong enough to defeat Kingsley with a single move, rendering him incapable of fighting back."Now, get lost." Gideon waved a hand.Kingsley was relieved to have escaped death. He scrambled to his feet and fled."That was amazing, Gideon!" Qyra and Waverly looked at Gideon, their eyes gleaming with admiration.He shrugged. "It wasn't anything special. Hurry up and get dressed. Let's go to another room."Soon, Vincent hurried over. He was apologetic when he saw the broken door and asked, "Are you guys okay, Gideon? I'm so sorry about this. I didn't expect something like this to happen."Gideon said, "Take us to another room.""No problem. Come with me. I'll take you guys to the best room we have
"But what?" Gideon implored."Sir, we've discovered a cave dwelling. Based on initial observations, it appears to be an ancient ruin, and there may be more structures like it waiting to be unearthed," Ares explained. "Is that so?" Gideon became interested. Ares took the lead, and the trio, including Gideon, reached their destination. "Sir, take a look." Following Ares' instructions, they all saw it. A lone cavern nestled in the large pit, resembling an aged man who has endured countless struggles, finding peace in quiet solitude. "Cut the flattery." Gideon walked up to the entrance of the cave dwelling. Ronan marveled, "This stone door is made of an exceptional material. It's doubtful even a bomb blast could shatter it open." Winter questioned, "So, we have to rely on brute strength to force the door open? Or is there a hidden mechanism?" Ares shook his head and replied, "No, there's no mechanism. We've had multiple teams scour every inch of it for days, but to no av
The majority of the army, led by Justin and other champions, relied on weapons and equipment purchased from Aetheric Guild. Damon had a particular affinity for this submarine. If he could closely examine it and recreate similar models, it would be an incredible feat. As soon as they left Kitherglen, the communication service was back up and running. Gideon wasted no time in getting in touch with Lysander to inquire about recent events. To his astonishment, not only was Lavinia unharmed and safe at the border, but she also single-handedly defeated a massive army of one million and received the prestigious title of a five-star war hero. Her popularity reached its peak, and the entire nation rallied behind her. Gideon couldn't help but smile to himself as he thought, "Life is full of ironies, huh?"It seemed that Lavinia had managed to pull off a miraculous feat. It was highly unlikely for anyone to successfully wipe out one million of Tylland's soldiers. Such a victory was unheard
"Don't worry, Mr. Foley. I will surely live up to your expectations," Gideon declared."Good!" Ronan was very pleased.That night, neither Ronan nor Gideon could sleep. Ronan took the time to show Gideon how to use the Doombringer Knuckle in the midst of the relentless wind and snow. Meanwhile, Gideon couldn't afford to let his guard down for even a second and was completely absorbed in learning.… The next morning, as the first sunray shone down on them, Gideon opened his eyes and exhaled a mouthful of stale air. The techniques and hidden meanings behind the Doombringer Knuckle, along with memories of Ronan's instruction from the previous night, flooded back into his mind.He began to replicate and execute the moves with precision. The sounds of his punches echoed through the air, growing more intense with each strike."Good boy!" Ronan's eyes widened in surprise. Gideon had only learned the basics, and it had only been one night. Yet, he already seemed to have a grasp on the
The intense battle seemed to drag on indefinitely. Their physical abilities were beyond human. Gideon and Ronan broke apart from each other. Ronan's body shook with power as he prepared to use the Doombringer Knuckle. Gideon refused to be outdone, and his demeanor shifted, shedding some of his usual depth for a sharper focus.In Winter's eyes, Gideon was akin to a massive and weighty greatsword. He exuded a presence of unconquerable power, as if nothing could stand in his way. Ronan's face took on a serious demeanor, yet Gideon's was filled with unbridled enthusiasm. It had been a long time since he had truly exerted himself, and he felt exhilarated by the prospect. It was a rush unlike any other, and he couldn't help but feel excited at the thought of unleashing all of his strength once again.With a fierce determination, Ronan thrust out his fist and bellowed, "Doombringer Knuckle!" At the same time, Gideon also extended his fist, his voice echoing like thunder as he excl
Having a conversation about fighting with a skilled fighter like Ronan was actually beneficial for Gideon, given that he was a master of the sport. In truth, Ronan had not intended to harm the Jaeger royal family. His true motive was to confront Talia head-on. The Jaegers' top fighting technique, the Supreme Celestial Fist, was renowned as one of the most highly skilled and advanced techniques. He was caught off guard by Oscar's presence. Though, in a way, it aligned with his goals to have a fierce battle with him. His custom-made Doombringer Knuckle weapon had been designed for intense battles and could only truly be understood through fighting. As a top-tier expert, it was rare for Ronan to find an opponent who could truly challenge him in battle.Gideon's words had immediately captured Ronan's intense interest. "If you can make this fight entertaining for me, I may consider teaching you the Doombringer Knuckle," he said to Gideon. "What? Are you serious, Mr. Foley?" Gideon
Talia smiled and said, "Annalise is incredibly gifted. She's not going to meet her downfall so easily." "Got it. I'll be the decoy," Oscar replied. "Thanks." Talia nodded at Oscar to show her gratitude. That simple gesture made Oscar really happy. People would probably be blown away if they found out that the duke of the Chapman royal family could get so caught up in admiration and infatuation.…Meanwhile, as Ronan and Oscar went their separate ways, Gideon and Winter also got moving. Gideon wanted to meet Ronan because he was amazed by the latter's self-created Doombringer Knuckle. Compared to Oscar's Thundering Bruiser, his move was even more impressive. It was a seriously powerful fighting style. And Ronan mentioned it was still in its early stages and could improve for the better. Gideon didn't expect Ronan to teach him the Doombringer Knuckle, but he hoped they could chat about it. He figured it would help him a lot. "There he is!" The submarine—now a flying s
The battle between a god and a demon was undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime epic clash.Even Winter's eyes sparkled as she stared intently at the battlefield, afraid to miss a single thrilling moment."Attack!"Gideon clenched his fists. It was happening!Ronan's Doombringer Knuckle and Oscar's Thundering Bruiser were about to collide. Victory or defeat would hinge on this final move.In the distance, it looked as though the sky was being split in two.Their energies had reached an absolute peak. The radiance of their strikes lit up the sky, and energy surged uncontrollably. Snow-capped peaks crumbled one after another.With a boom, the two finally collided.In the next moment, both were blasted back, flying hundreds of yards apart.The aftershock of energy stirred up fierce winds, sweeping away countless layers of snow.Ronan and Oscar stood silently atop the snow-covered peaks, staring at each other from a distance without moving an inch. For a long moment, neither spoke.Th
Winter said, "Let's go. The Jaeger royal family runs deep. You may be powerful, but going into their territory alone is pretty unrealistic.""By the way," she continued, "do you have a grudge against the Jaegers?"Gideon nodded and then shook his head. "To be precise, I have a blood connection to them.""What?""My mother was a princess of the Jaeger royal family."Winter was stunned. She hadn't expected Gideon to have such a connection to the Jaegers."Let's go." He turned around. "I'll come back someday. When that day comes, I'll deal with the Jaeger royal family myself."Before he finished speaking, a thunderous explosion erupted in the distance.Gideon turned back.Far away, in the snowstorm and high above the sky, two figures clashed with each other, engaging in a fierce battle."They're so strong!" Winter was shocked.The terrifying impact of their clash could be felt even from such a distance. Those were unquestionably world-class experts.Gideon watched intently. He
"What's your plan?" Winter asked. "Should we look for Ajax and the others first?""No need." Gideon shook his head. "After so many days, I'm guessing they've already left. Besides, even though I can hold off the frenzy poison for half a month, who knows if it might suddenly act up? I can't risk going to the Jaeger royal family's territory right now."He was filled with regret.The Jaeger royal family was unfathomably powerful, and Oscar was there, too. With his unstable condition and the hidden dangers in his body, heading there rashly could lead to disaster.Moreover, he didn't have time to waste at the Jaeger royal family's grounds. Every moment counted in his search for a cure."Gideon, will you let me leave for a while? Don't worry. Once I've completed my mission, I'll definitely come back to find you. By then, whether you want to kill me or punish me, I'll accept it," Winter said."Are you going to finish your so-called mission?""Yes.""I think it's time for you to be hon
