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
Franz nodded at Amelie's words. It made some sense, after all."I didn't make it obvious, so Mr. Snow's identity isn't revealed. Let's hope Lavinia is smart. This is all I can do," Amelie said.Afterward, the three Elders didn't stay around much longer. They passed some instructions to Caius and left Goldspire in a jet, back to their positions in Drammore.…Meanwhile, instead of returning to Beaker Island, Gideon went to the Snow residence. He had his phone, which showed that Fred had called him more than a dozen times, and was worried that something had happened there.But when he arrived, he heard bustling noises from the inside. Even the front doors were decorated and exuded a celebratory atmosphere.Confused, Gideon wondered what was happening and walked through the gates. Upon seeing him in the front yard, a household helper exclaimed, "Mr. Snow is back!"Soon, everyone hurried to the main hall. Sitting with his back straight, Gideon swept his gaze over everyone and aske
"Good." Gideon nodded and left.As Xena watched his straight back, she thought he was really domineering. What an alpha male!…Meanwhile, Gideon visited the Hornes after leaving the Snow residence. After all, he had to do something after they had given them two huge gifts.Gary was conducting a family meeting at the moment. They were badly affected after giving away seven billion dollars. Furthermore, the projects they had handed over to the Snow family were key projects, and the profits were given to them as well. This meant that the Horne family had lost ten key projects, which was another blow to them."Gary, I think the gifts have been too much. Look. Our family is now critically affected. The Farrell family has always been at loggerheads with us and eyeing us menacingly. The situation is precarious now.""Yes, Gary. Think of a solution." The Horne family members wore looks of woe and worry.Gary was in a fix as well, but he had already given the presents and couldn't pos
Gary was in utter shock. He could accept that Gideon could contact the Avila family, but Zus Group was the last thing that would come to his mind.Zus Group was the largest conglomerate in the world and had businesses across the globe. In Dasovia alone, they had several companies with a market value of trillions of dollars. This proved how powerful Zus Group was."Gideon, did you say that you can get Zus Group to invest in us? Are you sure? Do you mean the international superconglomerate, Zus Group?" "Besides that, is there any other company that dares to name themselves Zus?"Gary's face flushed with excitement, and Gideon said with a laugh, "This is not a big deal. It's just an investment."Then, he immediately made a call. Across the sea, in a small town close to a border, a mighty man's phone started ringing in a regular office building.Nobody would have guessed that the global organization, Zus Group, would set up its headquarters in a small building located in a small 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
