Truman was in the middle of his meditation when he heard a commotion. He opened his eyes and shot a glare at Adrian. "How old are you? Why are you still so impulsive?""Grandpa, I'm just so excited."Truman asked with great interest, "Oh? What's got you so happy? Could it be that you've hooked up with another beautiful woman?"Adrian smiled and said, "Sort of. This beauty has quite a remarkable identity!"Truman's brows furrowed. "What have you done now, you brat?""I wouldn't exactly call it causing trouble, but some may see it that way. Grandpa, I'll cut to the chase. I've captured Rachel Avila, head of the Avila family and chairperson of Avila Group in Goldspire!"Initially, Truman believed that Adrian had merely stirred up some drama in Emberstone. In that scenario, no matter who it was, it could be easily handled. But what he didn't anticipate was that this troublemaker had also caused trouble in Goldspire."You've captured the head of the Avila family in Goldspire?" Withou
"Rachel, don't be scared. Your grandfather, Simon, and I were once rivals. You have nothing to fear by marrying my grandson. The Linc family is just as prestigious as the Avila family."Before we continue, I want to ask you something. Is it true that Simon has disappeared?"Rachel stared at Truman and said coldly, "My grandfather is doing just fine. Thank you for your concern!"Truman's brows furrowed. "That doesn't make sense. If he never disappeared, how could you have become the head of the Avila family and gained control of Avila Group?"With a sneer, Rachel spoke coldly, "My grandfather had unmatched bravery. He entrusted me with the entire Avila family without fear that I would destroy it. Even if I brought chaos and destruction, he had unwavering confidence in his ability to fix any situation."That's true self-assurance. Do you possess that level of faith? Would you risk handing the control of the Linc family over to Adrian?""You!" Truman's brows knitted together in ange
"How many Rachels could there possibly be in Goldspire? Wasn't she the head of the Avila family? She was also known as the top young female entrepreneur in all of Verdura!""Really? Or is it just a rumor?""It's true, but I just saw Rachel from afar. She's stunning, like a queen who could take down an empire with her beauty. I can't help feeling envious of Mr. Linc for having such a breathtaking woman by his side."Silence filled the room.In Linc Manor, the members of the Linc family were talking about it heatedly. The Linc family had a thriving bloodline. It hadn't been long before there were already over a thousand family members in the manor, and this was just a part of them. Many more were still on their way.The manor was decorated with fairy lights and colored streamers. The household staff were busy arranging everything in a hurry. There was an air of festivity all around.However, they had no idea that a crisis was about to descend. At this moment, Gideon had already arr
Truman and a group of people came to the front gates. They looked around and finally fixed their eyes on Gideon.Was there really only one person? Who was this young man? What had he come here for? Truman didn't think he was from the Avila family."Dad, something is off." Larry looked at the shattered square and the collapsed stone pegasus statues. Somehow, he felt uneasy.However, Truman didn't care at all. Even if the man was incredibly powerful, what could he do? The Linc family had summoned 30,000 men! Yes, 30,000 men! It was all of the Linc family's forces.The Lincs reigned over Emberstone's underworld because they were the most powerful family. The second and third factions combined did not even come close to having 30,000 members, while the troops in the war zone of Emberstone only reached a total of 30,000.The Linc family held control over all of Emberstone, with Truman as their leader."Kid, who are you?""Gideon Snow!" replied Gideon."Gideon Snow? Never heard of
The laughter continued."It's hilarious.""Is this guy an idiot or something?"The Lincs bent over, laughing. Their laughter was loud and mocking, and their faces were full of scorn.Right at that moment, Adrian strutted out and gave a smug smile. "You must be Gideon," he taunted. "One of Rachel's admirers, I presume? Well, just to inform you. She's already taken… by me!"Gideon's expression changed.Adrian's reckless behavior grew worse as he laughed loudly. "I've played with her numerous times," he boasted. "She started off so arrogant, but now she's like a loyal dog, begging at my feet! Does that make you angry?" He laughed. "She may be your goddess, but to me, she's just a toy!"At this particular moment, Gideon appeared to be quite composed. However, anyone who knew him well would recognize that this was actually a sign of extreme anger for him.A loud boom echoed through the air, followed by a sudden burst of intense murderous energy. It filled the entire area, causin
The thunderous sound of marching feet echoed through the air as 30,000 men advanced forward to attack.The front square of Linc Manor was massive, with enough space for at least 50,000 to 60,000 people.At that precise moment, there was ample room for the 30,000 men to spread out and prepare for battle. It was a startling sight, indeed!Every individual held onto a sharp object—either a knife, spear, or club. They all had menacing looks on their faces. With such a large group of people, even the saliva from each person could engulf an average person.But they were just ordinary people. Gideon, however, was not.Throughout the entire encounter, his expression hardly wavered. In fact, a hint of disdain and disgust could be seen in his eyes. 30,000 men? They were insignificant to him.At Arcane previously, he had single-handedly fought off ten fully armed legions. These legions were equipped with advanced technological weapons, such as tanks and cannons.The battle had been watch
Gideon said flatly, "That won't be necessary."Truman's heart sank. "Sir, what do you mean by that?"Gideon didn't respond.At that moment, Leopold and Nino arrived with their forces. 18,000 men surged forward, encircling the entire area in an overwhelming show of strength.The sudden arrival stunned Truman and his men. They realized that this force of 18,000 radiated a presence far more terrifying than their 30,000 men.In truth, many of the Linc family's 30,000 were nothing more than a disorganized rabble. However, Leopold's and Nino's men were hardened veterans—elites forged through countless struggles."Sir!""Sir!"Leopold and Nino rushed over.Truman was once again shocked. My goodness! Not only was Gideon powerful, but he also commanded such a large, formidable force. Could he be the son of some big shot in Goldspire's criminal underworld?Leopold and Nino looked at the thousands of men lying in pools of blood and then at Gideon. They couldn't help but feel their sca
"What kind of trouble?" Gideon asked."According to reliable information, Ms. Avila was captured by the leader of Tiger Clan after escaping from the Linc family," Nino reported."Tiger Clan?""Yes. It's a major force in Emberstone's criminal underworld. In fact, Tiger Clan is the top organization. However, because the Linc family dominates both legal and illegal spheres, Tiger Clan can't surpass them."Gideon remarked meaningfully, "First, the Linc family, and now, Tiger Clan? Emberstone is full of hidden dangers. It's quite the tiger's den, isn't it? Ha!"Nino asked, "Sir, what are your orders?""To Tiger Clan!" Gideon waved, and the forces moved out in an orderly but overwhelming retreat. They left the Linc family behind without another glance.Those observing from the shadows, including Terry and his team, couldn't contain their excitement. They had been sent here to eliminate the cancers plaguing Emberstone.The Linc family was one such cancer, and Tiger Clan was another.
The mood in the conference room was incredibly tense. "Do you really think the king of Dasovia will agree to a deal with us? It seems doubtful. That's an S-class dragon vein we're talking about, and there aren't many of those in all of Dasovia. Is the king truly prepared to offer it as part of a trade?" "I agree. This situation seems suspicious.""Could he be planning to deceive us and seize our assets by force?" Several main branch leaders were deeply concerned. At that point, a female branch leader inquired, "Mr. Moore, what do you think?"Ewan had a broad face. He possessed an air of authority, effortlessly conveying power without the need to display anger. His strength seemed immeasurable. With a blank expression, he remarked coolly, "Our clan is no easy target. Not even the king of Dasovia can deceive us or seize our possessions without consequence. Dasovia cannot bear the repercussions."Another laughed. "Mr. Moore is absolutely correct. The strength of our clan is e
"Genetic Bond must never end up in the hands of the king of Dasovia. If it does, Dasovia's genetic engineering will advance quickly and overtake ours," Lucifer said. Orabella's heart raced. With a worried expression, she said, "Considering the importance of the Genetic Bond, the Spirale Clan will certainly keep it well-concealed. How do you plan to obtain it? Gideon's assault on the Spirale Clan is merely a tactic to create disorder. He lacks the power to eradicate them." Lucifer grinned and replied, "Relax. The Light Council hasn't been idle all these years. We've already secured an insider. How else would the Pope have access to such classified information?" Ah, that explained it! Orabella realized that there was a spy within the Spirale Clan. This spy had to hold a significant position. Otherwise, they wouldn't have access to such sensitive secrets. The situation was becoming increasingly intriguing.Lucifer said, "Return now. When the major conflict erupts, prioritize your
Standing before Orabella was Lucifer Agma, the esteemed leader of the foremost legion among the ten ace legions of The Light Council. His rank was exceptionally high within the council. Rumor had it that only the Pope surpassed him in authority, making him the second most influential person in the council.The Light Legion, led by him, was the strongest of the ten elite legions. Despite having only a hundred thousand soldiers, it remained unbeatable wherever it ventured. Lucifer regarded Orabella with a calm expression and smiled. "Your concern for him piques my interest even more." Before Orabella could respond, Lucifer lifted his hand to halt her and added, "Rest assured. Since you've requested it, I won't harm him." Orabella exhaled in relief. "Thank you." Even though Gideon had gained significant power, Orabella believed he was still not a match for Lucifer. Lucifer had achieved the status of an eighth-level peak transcendent three years ago. Since then, he had been di
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
