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
"Tell me exactly what happened! How long did you go up against Gideon for, and how many rounds did you have? How did he defeat you? What tricks did he pull?" Adeline demanded to know."Ms. Steele, I…" Kingsley flushed, feeling like he couldn't get the words out. "I was thoroughly defeated. It feels like he and I aren't even in the same league. My attacks rained down on him, but he easily deflected and countered each move. In the end…""What happened in the end?""In the end, he took me out with a simple move. I couldn't even defend myself, let alone fight back. This is humiliating, Ms. Steele, but I have to be honest. I admit that he's powerful! I don't stand a chance against him!" Kingsley said.Adeline was agitated. She'd sent Kingsley to take Gideon down a notch, but the latter had humiliated Kingsley and made a fool of him.The middle-aged woman didn't speak. If Gideon had managed to take Kingsley out with a single move, he was truly scarily powerful. No wonder he was so arrog
"As if!" The policeman looked mocking. "You don't know how rich those five men are, do you? They're powerful—what about you? We've already investigated you. You're Gideon Snow, the head of the Snow family."That would've been a big deal in the past, but the Snow family has fallen off its pedestal now. You're not even half as influential and powerful as those five men."Gideon smiled without saying anything. Per protocol, he was temporarily detained in the interrogation room. The policemen left him there for a while.…Meanwhile, Qyra called Anna and told her Gideon had been taken away. Anna panicked and hurriedly informed Leopold, who was startled. He couldn't imagine what would happen if Gideon were to be harmed in any way.The various kings at Oasis Vale would storm Goldspire together and wreak havoc. No—they would turn Dasovia upside down."Who the fuck did this?" Leopold snarled.Nino joined him upon learning about Gideon's arrest. He asked, "What are we still waiting for?
Ian stood at the central peak of Oasis Vale and channeled his presence, which shot heavenward. He roared, "Everyone, gather here! Mr. Snow has been arrested!"Ajax was digging when he heard this. He jolted and cried, "Mr. Snow has been arrested? What the fuck? Who would dare do that? They're asking for death!"Meanwhile, Alistair was cleaning feces. He dropped everything and ran to the central peak while roaring, "I'm coming, Mr. Snow! I'll skin whoever has the nerve to arrest you!"Hercule, Paul, and the other kings shot to their feet. For a moment, Oasis Vale was filled with nothing but their intent to kill. They gathered at the central peak.Ian looked furious as he said, "I just received a call from Leo. Mr. Snow has been arrested under suspicion of intentional harm, which is utter bullshit! We're heading to Goldspire in Dasovia right now!"Hercule asked, "Is it just us?"Ajax said, "Dasovia is one of the two largest countries in the world, and their borders are too well-prot
The whole world was in an uproar. All nations were closely monitoring the situation.Dasovia was left in the dark, confused and uncertain why so many troops were approaching.Millions of troops assembled in such staggering numbers! Good gracious!The Dasovia Ministry of Defense immediately convened an emergency meeting with more than a dozen senior government leaders in attendance."What is going on?""Why is there suddenly an army of millions preparing to invade Dasovia? Who is behind this? Could it be our arch-nemesis, Mihany?"The minister of Dasovia's Central Intelligence Agency, David Maine, spoke up, "The likelihood of it being Mihany is low because intelligence indicates that even their high-ranking officials are shocked. All nations are equally surprised."The minister of defense, Luther Phillips, said, "We don't have time for speculation. There are millions of troops. It's no joke. I request we immediately enter a wartime state and mobilize the entire military!"David
Ian, Ajax, and Justin had received the news."Dasovia has sent fighter jets to attack. I thought they would be cautious, but they have started retaliating.""That's even better. It suits me just fine.""Let's make them regret it! Though Dasovia is a superpower, our strength is enough to wound them severely."Justin was a war fanatic. He had been captured by Gideon and taken to Oasis Vale because he was obsessed with creating conflicts and warfare. Even now, his temperament had not changed."Attack!" he issued the command without hesitation.Suddenly, countless fighter jets opened fire, and the Dasovian Air Force fought back fiercely.An aerial battle was on the verge of breaking out. It was terrifying.Although it was already night, the skies were lit as bright as day as it was ablaze with smoke and fire. Fighter jets exploded every second, and debris rained like a storm. The scene was incredibly brutal.The Dasovian Air Force suffered massive losses and was no match for their
Marco was furious.The Central Intelligence Agency employees were on edge, scrambling for solutions, while the armies of champions paused their advance.Ian and the others thought that attacking Dasovia would have massive consequences and throw the world into chaos. They knew Gideon's reputation as a proponent of world peace.Gideon would be furious if he knew their actions could lead to a world war."Let's negotiate!" This two-word conclusion came out of the meeting.The message was relayed, and all the armies halted along the borders of Dasovia."Mr. Delgado, good news.""Good news, indeed.""The enemy forces have stopped advancing. It looks like they have no plans to invade our territory."A gleam of hope flashed in Marco's eyes. He said solemnly, "This means they are open to negotiations. Establish a communication channel immediately. I want to speak with their leader within ten minutes.""Understood!"As a powerful nation, Dasovia had the means to do so.Ten minutes la
"Men!" Marco called out."Yes, sir!""You all heard that, right? Immediately notify Verdura… "No, the Cabinet will send an investigative team to check on this matter thoroughly. I want to know everything within half an hour!""Understood!"The Dasovia Cabinet, the Central Intelligence Agency, and other related agencies were racing against the clock.During the standoff, the world was in turmoil. Nations were in uproar, and people worldwide were worried about the outbreak of a world war. Some national leaders even sent letters to persuade the parties to advocate for peace.Time passed quickly.20 minutes later, David arrived in a hurry and reported, "Mr. Delgado, we've cleared up everything.""Speak!""A group of wealthy businessmen in Goldspire harassed Mr. Snow's two female companions. Mr. Snow taught them a lesson, and in response, over a hundred security guards tried to disable him but were defeated. "The five have connections at Goldspire Police Department, which led t
After Orabella departed, Umbra asked, "Why didn't you prevent her from leaving? There's a chance she might be meeting with The Light Council members. Stay vigilant and don't let yourself be caught off guard and deceived!" Gideon shrugged, gazing indifferently at the night sky. "I know what I'm doing," he replied. "Orabella has some intentions, but my instincts tell me she's not a threat to me at the moment. Besides, if she was determined to go, I wouldn't have been able to stop her anyway." He then asked, "Speaking of which, how is your physical conditioning progressing? You're currently no match for Orabella." "It's challenging," Umbra sighed. "Cultivating the pure-essence physique isn't simple. It's similar to how developing your Solar Titan Physique requires the right timing, environment, companions, and opportunities."Actually, I'm quite jealous of Elara. Her pure essence core has fully awakened. Once she regains consciousness, her cultivation will advance rapidly, and sh
Eduardo yelled, but it was too late to turn back. The punch smashed through the ranks of Windrunners, leaving a trail of devastation. In a flash, the scene was one of bloodshed and chaos. Countless Black Raptors and warriors from the Windrunners were slain. The air was filled with the sound of rushing wind. Blood rained down from the sky. Eduardo, drenched in blood, held Zephara protectively in his arms. Witnessing the bloody and brutal scene, his heart felt as if it were being torn apart. Thunder rumbled. Yet, it wasn't over. A Blood Moon Tempest began to rise. It was a sword technique unleashed by Gideon—the Blood Moon Tempest. "Dad!" Zephara was already terrified by the previous punch.And now, seeing the storm resembling a blood dragon, she couldn't help but shiver. "I didn't expect him to be so powerful! We underestimated him!" Eduardo was filled with regret.These were the top members of the clan, and now, thousands had been lost, dealing a significant blow that great
Atop the Black Raptors, lines of armored warriors known as the Windrunners stood ready. The foremost Black Raptor was exceptionally large. Clearly, it was an Alpha Black Raptor. Riding on the back of this Alpha Black Raptor were a man and a woman.Gideon had encountered the woman previously. She was Zephara, known as Ms. Tempest of Windrunners. The middle-aged man next to her was unsurprisingly the leader of Windrunners, Zephara's father, Eduardo Tempest. "So, you're the one who attacked my daughter!" "And who are you?" "I'm Eduardo Tempest, head of Windrunners." "I see when I deal with the younger one, the older one steps in. If I defeat you, will your father come after me, too?" Gideon taunted with a laugh. "How dare you!" Eduardo exploded with anger.Gideon chose not to speak further. He activated his Solar Titan Physique, lighting up the night sky as if it were midday. "Let's fight," he declared. "But remember. You'll have to face the consequences, and I hope you won'
"Is this truly the Mystic Supreme Bone?" Gideon asked, still in disbelief that a fragment of a ninth-level apex overbeast's bone was now in his possession. Orabella smiled and replied, "You've got incredible luck. They've unknowingly set the stage for you, and they must be furious about it now." "By the way, what exactly can this Mystic Supreme Bone do? It has a majestic presence, but what is its actual use?" Gideon asked."You aren't familiar with it, are you? The Mystic Supreme Bone has numerous remarkable uses," Orabella explained seriously. "Firstly, it can be used to create weapons. The bone is extremely durable. "Although this small finger bone alone isn't sufficient to make a weapon, you can refine it and integrate it into your own hand, allowing it to merge with your finger bone.""Merge with my finger bone?" Gideon asked."Yes," Orabella said with anticipation, "If you succeed in the fusion, your finger bone will become unbreakable, and the power of a single finger st
At the same time, Gideon and Pacino sprang into action, causing the three forces to clash and the glowing object to be tossed aside. As it landed, everyone could see it clearly. "A bone?" they exclaimed in surprise. They had anticipated discovering a rare treasure or a divine weapon, not a mere piece of bone. Upon closer inspection, it appeared to be a finger bone. It was as large as a palm and incomplete. It was evident that it couldn't belong to a human. It was clearly from a beast."Mystic Supreme Bone." Orabella gasped in amazement. At that moment, Pacino's eyelids twitched uncontrollably, and his aged eyes flashed with a fierce intensity. "Gideon, seize it quickly. That's the finger bone of an apex overbeast. It is Mystic Supreme Bone, with countless incredible applications. We can't let it slip away." In reality, as soon as Orabella had cried out, Gideon had already activated his Solar Titan Physique, exuding an air of dominance. "Doombringer Knuckle!" he shouted,
"Harmoni, are you positive there's treasure here?" Brantley asked, wiping the sweat from his brow. He was standing at the bottom of the large pit, peering up at Harmoni with a doubtful expression. "I've dug this far, and there's still nothing. Is it possible you got it wrong?""No, it's definitely here," Harmoni insisted confidently. "Just keep trying." With no other option, Brantley resumed his digging. Just then, Gideon appeared at the doorway. Harmoni spun around, her eyes narrowing in surprise. "What are you doing here?" she exclaimed. "Hmm?" Gideon looked utterly confused. "Do we know each other?"Harmoni pressed her lips together and stayed quiet.Earlier, during the epic clash between Brightbane Sect and Naesbrey Fortress on the eastern plains, Gideon appeared and defended Umbra from Draven and his allies. He showcased remarkable strength during that encounter. Both Harmoni and Brantley had witnessed the battle, leaving them with a lasting impression of Gideon.W
Gideon looked at Orabella with indifference and said, "Quit having your sights set on Elara!" "You think too highly of me." "What do you mean?" Gideon asked, but Orabella didn't respond. Instead, she turned away and left. Her hands, tucked inside her sleeves, had turned bluish, a sign of frostbite from the pure essence energy. Earlier, Orabella had indeed tried to use the Hellrend Severance Technique to seize Elara's pure essence core. However, she had not anticipated the strength of the core and nearly faced a backlash. Luckily, she stopped just in time, so only her hands ended up frostbitten.… A series of bombing sounds echoed at the entrance and exit.Cinque and Sei hurried over, furious at the sight. "You kids have a lot of guts coming to Bandit's Hollow to wreak havoc! Who gave you the audacity to do this?"As they spoke, a massive handprint struck toward them. Brantley glanced up, his eyes gleaming like lightning. He launched a punch. With a loud boom, the ha
"We're almost there."Under the night sky, a massive winged beast raced through the air. On its back sat a man and a woman—Harmoni and Brantley."Harmoni, what exactly is this treasure you keep talking about?""Let's keep a little mystery. You'll know when we get there. But…" Harmoni's expression grew serious. "This treasure isn't going to be easy to obtain.""What do you mean?""Up ahead is Bandit's Hollow. The treasure is hidden within it. But Bandit's Hollow is home to seven fearsome hooligans. We are no match for them."Brantley smirked. "Then, why the hell are we even going?"Harmoni replied, "Talonclaw has some history with the leader of the seven hooligans. My grandfather once fought alongside him, so there's a bit of a connection."But my grandfather has long since passed. Our clan hasn't contacted him in years. I don't know if he'll honor my grandfather's memory and let us take the treasure."Brantley frowned. "If the treasure is in Bandit's Hollow, wouldn't they have
As everyone knew, the Spirale Clan controlled highly advanced technological weaponry, a power that many coveted. Even the beast tribes kept a watchful eye on them, waiting for an opportunity.Once The Light Council and Gideon's forces launched their attack, chaos would inevitably follow. Various factions—including the beast tribes and those apex overbeasts—would all get involved, each seeking a share of the spoils.If word of this got out, it would shake nations across the world."This is big!""This isn't just any battle. It's an upheaval!""Gideon, Ms. Corthopp, you aren't messing with us, are you? You're seriously going after the Spirale Clan?"The seven hooligans suddenly felt that Gideon storming into Bandit's Hollow to humiliate them wasn't such a big deal.After all, he was now planning to attack the Spirale Clan.They could feel their perception of him shifting once again, elevating Gideon's status to an entirely new level.Orabella nodded. "Yes, we are. The Light Coun
