Chapter 129

Author: Jason Chord
The Snow family was on the verge of an uproar.

Fred's heart pounded, and he felt an inexplicable excitement, but he quickly regained his composure.

This scene made Gary, Denzel, and the other senior members of the Horne family look at him with new respect.

He was a fine young man who wasn't blinded by beauty.

Fred explained, "Mr. Gary, this matter is of great importance. It concerns Ms. Horne's lifelong happiness and shouldn't be taken lightly. I don't understand why you're doing this, but whatever the case, we can't rush this.

"We appreciate the gift, and our family is grateful. However, I can't agree to the marriage with Ms. Horne."

"Why?" Gary asked. "Xena has already agreed. You just need to nod. We didn't force her. She made the choice willingly."

Fred said, "Willingly? I'm not so sure about that. As a leader of the Horne family, Ms. Horne feels obligated to contribute to the family. But she's a living person and a young woman—not an object or a tool for trading benefits. I

    The changes in Goldspire were not just affecting the city. They were impacting the entire Verdura and the entire country.Such a major upheaval could not be kept a secret. People all over the country were talking about it."Ms. Mosley, do you know what's happening? Why is the Ministry of Defense taking control of Goldspire?" Benny asked Lavinia, who had called the Ministry of Defense leaders an hour earlier to inquire about the situation.However, the leaders couldn't provide any answers."It's unclear at the moment. The higher-ups are very secretive about it. But from what I've gathered, it seems like Goldspire has an influential figure!""An influential figure?"Benny was shocked.What kind of figure would warrant such a grand response from the country? It was unheard of. Even if the country's leader were to visit Goldspire, it wouldn't justify such measures.Lavinia frowned. "It's indeed strange. I've tried every channel I have but haven't found any useful information. We'll

    "Noon," the officer replied."Why hasn't anyone questioned me yet? By the way, the police can only detain someone for 12 hours. You must let me go if there isn't any follow-up paperwork."The police officer replied, "Who's questioning anyone? The entire Goldspire is at a standstill.""What do you mean?""Who knows? The higher-ups suddenly ordered a halt in all government departments for a day. Some are on standby, and leaders are being isolated for review. The Ministry of Defense's War General Troop has taken control of the administration.""Is that so?""Of course. Now, the streets of Goldspire are filled with soldiers and are eerily quiet. You'd better not go outside. Just stay here."Gideon was speechless. He knew this had to be related to him. He never expected that asking Anna to call Leopold to get him out would lead to such chaos.Leopold must have reached out to Oasis Vale. The champions were deployed."Can I make a phone call?""Absolutely not." The police officer sh

    The sudden, authoritative shout, which was full of overwhelming power, made the police officer tremble and nearly fall to his knees.He didn't know who the Cabinet Elders were, but he had seen Caius on the news many times. Seeing Caius standing beside the three elders, looking like a subordinate, stunned him.Who were these three elders?"Step aside." Caius' voice was sharp and commanding.The police officer scrambled to move out of the way.The Elders approached Gideon directly, their expressions respectful and apologetic. "Mr. Snow, sorry for being late!""Who are you?" Gideon asked."We are the Cabinet Elders of Dasovia.""The Elders?"Gideon was slightly taken aback. As a citizen of Dasovia, he knew the status and power of Cabinet Elders."My apologies for troubling you with such a small matter," Gideon said."Mr. Snow, don't mention it."The Elders admired how approachable Gideon seemed. He was not as arrogant as they had expected.One said, "Mr. Snow, this was truly

    But then, Spencer suddenly noticed a young man standing on equal footing with the Cabinet Elders. What was going on?Who was this young man?"Spencer Gallagher, Chief of Goldspire Police Department. Good. Very good," one of the Elders said with a light laugh. But the laugh was cold and sharp as a blade, making Spencer's scalp tingle.Even he, who was usually arrogant, felt like a mouse before a cat when facing the Elders."I'm sorry! It was a sudden arrest. I was angry, so I spoke out of turn. I hope you will forgive me," he said."Forgive you?" The Elder scoffed, his eyes turning icy and sharp. "You nearly brought disaster upon us, and you still expect forgiveness? You have quite the nerve!""What disaster? What are you talking about? I'm just a small fry. How could I bring disaster to the country? Please enlighten me.""Fine. I'll make sure you understand your fate clearly." The Elder's anger flared. "Do you not recognize this man?"Spencer looked at Gideon with a deep gaze,

    Spencer was killed with a single slap, and his head was smashed to pieces!Oh, my goodness!The sight shattered the five men's perception of reality.Who was this person? Why did he dare kill the police chief of a major metropolis? Was he a powerful official?"Bring those five scoundrels forward," Caius said coldly. He was unmoved by Spencer's death.Spencer was doomed from the start. It was certain. A police chief was nothing. Dasovia's talent pool was vast, and many were qualified for that position.His death was insignificant. Especially when it was an Elder who had ended his life."Move!" The guards of the Mayor's Mansion pushed the five wealthy men into the hall.At that moment, the five were already trembling in terror."Mr. Grayson, please spare us!""Spare us, please!"The five men knelt on the ground, crying and begging.Caius sneered. "You five scoundrels harassed women in broad daylight, gathered thugs to deliberately injure others, even pressured Spencer to act

    The Elder spoke coldly, "Scum! What use is there in keeping you alive?""No, please…" "Kill them!" The Elder showed no mercy.In an instant, there were five gunshots.The personal guards of the Elder acted swiftly, blowing the heads of the five men and killing them instantly.The police officers were terrified. Although they were police officers, they had never witnessed such a bloody and terrifying scene before."Take care of this," the Elder instructed."Sure!"The police officers were relieved. Been given tasks meant they still had hope.Caius said, "Sir, Mr. Snow, this place is too bloody. Let's move to the rear court."The Mayor's Mansion was large.In the rear court, everyone sat down under a pavilion.The three Elders looked at Gideon carefully, their eyes filled with admiration and surprise. They had seen many young talents, but Gideon felt different.He was restrained but had an undeniable sharpness. He was calm and composed, especially his eyes, which shone conf

    "Besides that, there were many other instances where I assisted Dasovia out of trouble. I'm not going to list them in detail. It's ingrained in me that I'm a Dasovian, and every Dasovian has the responsibility and duty to be patriotic," Gideon stated. "Well said!" The three Elders were overjoyed, gleaming brightly and full of approval.Caius was deeply impressed, too. As the King of all Kings, Gideon held immense power in his hands, but such a person remained true to himself and didn't forget his roots.It was hard to find such a patriotic person who would sacrifice for the country in secret, making him a dauntless hero!"I'm deeply sorry for causing trouble to Dasovia this time," Gideon apologized with a wry smile."Don't brood over it." The Elders apologized instead, saying, "We're the ones who caused you trouble. Fortunately, you and your cousin are fine. Otherwise, it will be a great loss to the country."Just then, Amelie said, "Mr. Snow, since we've already come this far,

    "That's great. Thank you, Mr. Snow." The Elders were happy. The silver-haired Elder, Franz Kerkman, took out a token with the word Dasovia engraved on it. On the other side was the picture of a historical-looking building.Gideon narrowed his eyes. If his guess was right, this was the Cabinet building, and the token was an exclusive pass of the Cabinet.Franz said, "Mr. Snow, please take this exclusive pass. With this, you can come into the Cabinet freely to look for us, and you even have access to the palace.""This is too precious. I can't accept it.""Oh, you must!" the three Elders exclaimed simultaneously."Whether it's your contribution to Dasovia or your identity, both qualify you to have this pass."Gideon rubbed his nose and said with a smile, "I'll accept this in that case."Just then, a guard came in and reported, "Sirs, Ms. Mosley is outside and requesting a meeting.""Lavinia?" Amelie was startled."Elders, she's in Goldspire, but I forgot to mention it," said C

    "Go check it out," the chief ordered.The squad rushed forward. Immediately, they were scared out of their wits."Sir!""This… This is…""It's Brightbane Sect's Francis… and Giles!""How is that possible?"Everyone was stunned.Francis and Giles were monstrous talents known throughout the entire eastern plains. Even as rogue cultivators, they had heard of them.But now, they had been killed!Who had the audacity to do this?"Sir, what do we do? Should we retreat? This is serious. We can't get involved.""No, fortune favors the bold. We're not far from Brightbane Sect. We must report this to their higher-ups immediately. That way, they can track down the killer in time. Maybe we can even get a reward, or better yet, a chance to join Brightbane Sect."The subordinates hesitated for a moment, then came to an agreement.They quickly chopped down trees and crafted two simple coffins, placing the bodies and heads inside. Carrying the coffins, they rushed toward Brightbane Sect.

    The ground trembled.Giles' eyes widened. "This is bad. Francis is about to use that move!"That scared him so much that he immediately retreated.At the same time, Francis had finished gathering his energy. He slashed downward with his blade. At first glance, it seemed like an ordinary strike, but it sent a chilling sense of danger through Gideon."It's Bane Sabre's fifth form, the Soul Severing Slash!"Just a moment ago, he was only using the second form, and now, he suddenly jumped to the fifth. It was no wonder the power skyrocketed!Gideon's morale flamed on. His mighty frame trembled, unleashing the raw power of his flesh and blood. He showed Francis' attack the respect it deserved. "Doombringer Knuckle!"At that moment, both the fist and sword energy collided, shaking the earth.The shockwave blasted Giles, leaving him covered in blood. He collapsed unconscious on the spot.Just then, a figure shot out of the battlefield, diving into a descending military aircraft."Tr

    Gideon's declaration left Francis momentarily stunned. Overcome with anger, he let out a laugh. "You want to take our heads? Fine. I hope you have the strength to back up such claims and aren't just making empty threats!" He stomped hard, causing the ground to crack, and launched forward like a cannonball."Francis, be careful! Don't underestimate him. He defeated the Shadowgnaw Overlord with a single punch!" "What?" Francis' heart skipped a beat. His momentum waned, and in that instant, Gideon struck with his palm, sending him flying. Francis flipped in the air a few times and landed awkwardly, stumbling back more than 30 feet away. His expression turned grim. "What did you say!" "Francis, he took down the Shadowgnaw Overlord with one punch, and this inner core is from that beast." Francis was furious. "Why didn't you mention that earlier?"Naturally, Francis was aware of the Shadowgnaw Overlord. Over a year ago, he had faced it in battle but had retreated in a miserab

    Gideon declared coldly, his voice void of any sympathy, "That's not something I can allow. I'm afraid this is the end for you." The instant the young man clad in black stole the inner core, his fate was sealed."No!" The man screamed in desperation, his face contorted with unwillingness.Suddenly, a fighter jet roared into view, and a startled voice called out, "Giles, what are you doing here?"The young man in black, Giles Terrell, looked up to see a figure dressed in purple standing at the jet's cabin door. Hope surged within him, as if he'd found a lifeline.Giles cried out, "Francis! Help me!"However, Francis Hurst's eyes were riveted on the inner core, a greedy gleam flickering within them.Francis thought that it was fate for him to stumble upon the alpha beast's inner core. If he seized it and used it for his cultivation, he'd surely surpass the young leaders of factions like Martialgarde and Warbringer Gate. Giles had truly given him a wonderful opportunity.Wi

    "Why are you pursuing me so persistently? Whoever reaches the inner core first should rightfully claim it. You were careless, so consider this a learning experience. Isn't that reasonable? Must we really end in a situation where both of us lose?" the young man taunted. "A learning experience? That's truly amusing. You steal my inner core and have the nerve to call it a lesson. You certainly have a lot to say," Gideon retorted coldly. He extended his hand, and a massive shadow hand materialized from above. It was the Clausum Palm. The alpha beast, ridden by the young man in black, sensed the immense power of the handprint and froze in fear, dropping to the ground. "Blast it!" The young man in black was so furious that he nearly coughed up blood. Forced to leave the alpha beast, he continued fleeing on foot. He retaliated with a punch, smashing the hand. "Oh? You still have the energy to fight back. Impressive. You're quite the young talent. What a shame you chose to seek you

    Out of nowhere, a chain shot up from below, snagging the inner core and swiftly dragging it away. "What?" Gideon erupted in fury. Who would dare snatch from a tiger's jaws? This person had some guts. "Stop!" he roared. With a thunderous force, he cut through the toxic miasma, reaching for the chain. But the thief was no ordinary being. They were a formidable opponent, retracting the chain with remarkable speed. Gideon caught a glimpse of a flickering figure in the jungle. "The inner core I captured isn't something just anyone can take. Let's see if you can escape my clutches," Gideon threatened, his voice resonating with intensity. The figure in the jungle hesitated, a chill running down their spine, yet they didn't relent and fled with the inner core.The fighter jet descended rapidly. But with the dense canopy of ancient trees in the jungle, aerial navigation was not possible. Gideon landed a backhand strike on Kori, rendering him unconscious to prevent any interferenc

    Jake let out a terrified scream. He quickly adjusted the fighter jet's course, but just then, a tentacle burst forth from the dense, poisonous fog. The tentacle was black and moved with alarming speed, reaching the jet in mere moments as if intent on tearing it apart. "Fire!" Jake activated the attack system, and over a dozen missiles were launched. The attack was successful, as the tentacle was blown into a gruesome mess. In the distance, a thunderous roar echoed, shaking the heavens and earth—the Shadowgnaw Overlord had felt the pain. Suddenly, more than 30 black shadows emerged from the toxic cloud."Damn it!" Jake swore. He struggled to continue operating the fighter jet amid the overwhelming number of tentacles. Their firepower was no longer enough. Desperately, he called out, "Sir!" At that moment, Gideon sprang into action. Rather than destroying the tentacles, he reached out and seized the one lunging at them. With a powerful yell, he unleashed the strength of

    Luckily, Gideon's fighter jet was a state-of-the-art model, so flying through the poisonous haze wasn't a significant problem. Suddenly, a piercing scream reverberated inside the jet, making it shake violently. Kori's face went white as he yelled, "This is bad! It must be the Shadowgnaw Bug. They're venomous creatures that can survive in this toxic fog. An adult Shadowgnaw Bug can reach the size of a lion or tiger, and the Shadowgnaw Overlord is even scarier, being as big as an elephant." Just as he finished speaking, another high-pitched cry sounded. The fighter jet shook uncontrollably and began to dive. Jake did everything he could to keep the jet stable. If the jet had been a regular aircraft, it would likely have broken apart by now. Kori looked deeply concerned. "Based on the strength of that cry, it seems we've run into the Shadowgnaw Overlord." "What's the big deal about one bug? Can it really be that dangerous?" Gideon scoffed, signaling Jake to open the cockpit door.

    Gideon trusted Kori completely, as Kori's life depended on him, leaving no room for hidden agendas. The fighter jet soared eastward at high altitude. Gideon was immersed in studying the Book of Medicamentum. He vaguely remembered Titus once mentioning the pure-essence physique and other rare physiques, such as the pure solar physique. These were subtly referenced in the Book of Medicamentum. His current task was to uncover information about the pure-essence physique in the latter part of the Book of Medicamentum. If successful, he might learn how to harness the methods concerning the pure-essence physique himself, enabling Elara to fully awaken and transform. Silence enveloped the entire fighter jet.That evening, the jet touched down on the summit of a large mountain. The pilot, Jake Clythe, was weary from hours of flight, was instructed by Gideon to take a one-hour break. Gideon and Kori also disembarked from the aircraft.The landscape was filled with overlapping mountains
