"I don't care who you are. Hand over Rachel immediately, or don't blame me for being merciless."You think setting up a few hidden fans and hiring an actor to put on a show makes you some big shot?"Cameron sneered, his face full of mockery.To him, that so-called overwhelming presence earlier was just the work of hidden wind machines. As for Terry, Cameron assumed he was just an actor playing a role.When Tyson heard this, he immediately caught on. Thus, all his fear vanished. A sinister grin appeared on his face as he growled, "You little punk, do you even know who I am?"I am Tyson Payne, the leader of Tiger Clan, one of the most powerful groups in Emberstone's criminal underworld. I've got almost 30 thousand men under my command."If you dare take my wife, even if you had a hundred lives, you still wouldn't survive. Now, hand over my wife and kneel to face your death."Otherwise, I'll make you experience the cruelest punishment in the world. By the end, you will wish you wer
A loud thud echoed.Steve could no longer stand. Trembling, he knelt on the ground, cold sweat pouring like rain. "Mr. Snow, I am incompetent! I will voluntarily resign after resolving this matter!""What's this? Do you not have a sense of responsibility? Are you thinking of running away instead?""No, no, Mr. Snow!" Steve was on the verge of breaking down. "Mr. Snow, I won't resign! Now that the Linc family and Tiger Clan are either dead or destroyed, I believe I can govern Emberstone well and live up to your expectations.""Start governing Emberstone by cleaning up your internal forces first."Gideon's cold snort was enough to make Anthony drop to his knees."Mr. Snow, I failed to raise my son properly. Please forgive me! I will resign willingly and accept any punishment!"Gideon shifted his gaze to Cameron.Cameron's hair stood on end, and he immediately knelt, bowing desperately. "Mr. Snow, spare me! I didn't know who I was dealing with. I was wrong! Please, have mercy and
A loud boom echoed as a thunderclap erupted on a clear day, like a bolt from the blue.Tyson, Steve, and everyone else present were horrified.Only a selected few at the pinnacle power of Dasovia could be addressed as an Elder of the Cabinet. It all made sense now.With just one phone call, all traces were immediately erased. Only someone like a Cabinet Elder could make that happen."No!" Tyson was filled with unwillingness and despair.However, Terry did not dare to give him another chance to speak. Afraid of provoking Gideon further, he swung his blade.With a single stroke, Tyson's head flew into the air.The leader of Tiger Clan and a figure who had dominated Emberstone's criminal underworld for two decades was no more!"It's over. It's all fine now." Gideon patted Rachel's head reassuringly, but she was still in shock.She had heard rumors that he was involved in the recent power shift in Goldspire, but she could never have imagined that he could directly command an Elder
Gideon returned to Goldspire with Rachel. He did not wait for Leopold and Nino, who decided to stay behind.After all, with the fall of Tiger Clan and the Linc family, Emberstone's criminal underworld was bound to undergo a complete reshuffling.Being Gideon's men, Leopold and Nino were sure to gain the support of Steve and the other officials, making their rise in Emberstone smooth and effortless.With such a large territory at stake, how could they give it up?Gideon didn't care about any of this.Upon returning to Goldspire, he arranged for Rachel to stay on Beaker Island.Although Rachel held a significant status in Goldspire, this was her first time visiting Beaker Island."This is such a beautiful villa. No, it's more like a palace!" Her eyes sparkled with delight.On their way back to Goldspire, she had leaned against Gideon's chest the entire time. He didn't feel it was appropriate to push her away, and thus, she felt completely content. She felt as if her relationship
"Emberstone?" Harry asked."Mr. Yelverton, I just found out that something big has happened in Emberstone. The Linc family, the city's leading family, was suddenly annihilated. "Tiger Clan, one of the top forces in the criminal underworld, was also destroyed. Mr. Yelverton, do you think there's a connection here?"Harry pondered aloud, "Are you suggesting that the one who destroyed the Yovarian Guild and the one who wiped out the Linc family and Tiger Clan might be the same person?""It's highly possible," his subordinate answered."Then, head to Emberstone to investigate!""I'll do it at once!" The middle-aged man quickly made arrangements.Not long after, three elite teams set off for Emberstone. Upon their arrival, they immediately headed to Linc Manor. The estate had already been reduced to ruins."Who goes there?" a sharp shout suddenly rang out.At the same time, the elites felt an overwhelming presence pressing down on them."How strong!"The team leader was horrif
"What do you mean by that?" A chilling light flickered in Lavinia's eyes, and a sharp air emanated from her. "Are you scheming against my sister?"Harry quickly waved his hands. "No, no! Lavinia, you misunderstood! I have no interest in Ruby, that little girl. The one I admire is you!""Enough! I don't want to hear this nonsense.""Then, about dinner…" Harry put on a fawning smile.Lavinia thought for a moment and coldly said, "I hope you're not lying!"He patted his chest. "Don't worry. Why would I lie to you? Ruby's situation is urgent. Let's sit down and talk.""Fine."With that, she got into her Hummer.When Harry tried to follow her in, the car door slammed shut, leaving him to drive his Bentley and follow behind.Before long, the two of them arrived at Dawn Restaurant.After sitting down, Lavinia urged, "Speak. What exactly is going on?"However, Harry said, "There's no rush. Waiter, two cappuccinos, please!"Then, he clasped his hands on the table, sitting upright, a
"Lavinia, don't get angry. I just want to tell you not to worry. I have a solution!" Harry said"What solution could you possibly have? Your family doesn't even dabble in the pharmaceutical industry!" Lavinia retorted."Lavinia, even though the Yelverton family isn't in the pharmaceutical business, we have extensive connections. You know, the Hackle family isn't the only powerhouse in the medical field."Lavinia's expression shifted slightly.Harry continued, "The Yelverton family has ties with the Glevensky family in Yartsmite. I can step in and ask the Glevenskys to back Ruby up!"The Glevensky family was one of the three major medical families. They weren't based in Drammore, though. They were located in Yartsmite of Silverkeep.In the field of medicine, there was no doubt that the Glevensky family could rival the Hackle family."Do you really have the ability to get the Glevensky family involved? Would they even risk offending the Hackle family?""Lavinia, you may not know
"By the way, Mr. Yelverton, Ms. Mosley and that guy are no longer engaged," the guard chimed in."Oh?" Harry was momentarily surprised.One of the bodyguards said angrily, "A few days ago, Ms. Mosley sought him out to break off the engagement. However, that arrogant, disrespectful fool had the audacity to dump her instead!""What?" Harry was enraged.It was expected that Lavinia would want to break off the engagement. After all, a woman like her—practically born an angel—couldn't possibly fall for an ordinary man.But to be dumped by him? That was a humiliating disgrace!The bodyguard added, "It's said that Gideon's father once saved Ms. Mosley's father's life, which is why the engagement was arranged."After Gideon dumped Ms. Mosley, she decided to let it slide out of respect for their old ties.""I see." Harry picked up on the guard's underlying hint. They wanted him to teach Gideon a lesson.In truth, he already had the same idea.Breaking off the engagement should have be
"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
"Hm?" Pacino was taken aback.With a meaningful look, he asked, "Ms. Corthopp, what do you want to learn that for? The Hellrend Severance Technique is a vicious and sinister art. As a member of The Light Council, how could you study something like that?"Orabella smiled. "No technique is inherently good or evil. It all depends on how it's used."Pacino was no fool. Lowering his voice, he asked, "Ms. Corthopp, are you planning to strip Elara's pure-essence core?"She replied, "If the opportunity arises, I will.""For Gideon? Tsk! It seems Gideon holds quite a lot of weight in your heart." A strange smile spread across Pacino's face.Orabella asked again, "Mr. Albe, would you be willing to teach me? Consider it a favor. I'll repay you in the future."Pacino laughed and said, "Ms Corthopp, you hold a prestigious position in The Light Council. Having someone like you owe me a favor, that's a deal well worth making. I'll teach you the Hellrend Severance Technique right now.""I'd ap
They had actually suffered a setback at the hands of some snot-nosed kid. If word got out, people would die laughing."How much farther are you planning to retreat?"At that moment, Gideon stopped in his tracks, took a deep breath to steady himself, and spoke in a detached tone, "Honestly, we're not even enemies. Ivo is dead. Why make an enemy of me for his sake?"Think about the consequences of crossing me. I could just leave Bandit's Hollow, but from that moment on, none of you would ever know peace again."Pacino's face darkened. "Are you threatening me?"Gideon shook his head. "I'm simply stating a fact. Making an enemy of me over a dead man is not a wise move."Besides, I have means of dealing an irreversible blow to you all. Initially, I intended to take you by surprise, but since I've already mentioned it, let me show you. Be careful!"Gideon waved his hand, and immediately, a mist began to spread.In an instant, the hooligans were horrified. They frantically retreated.
"No!" Mea screamed hysterically.The broken blade was pulled out. Ivo's corpse collapsed to the ground like a pile of rotten flesh, making Mea dizzy, her vision going black."You're not dead! How is that possible?" Pacino was in disbelief.His aged eyes flashed with sharp light as he scrutinized Gideon, realizing that not only was Gideon alive, but his energy was still as powerful as ever, too.It was as if the past half hour inside that eerie mist hadn't affected him in the slightest.How could this be?Gideon sneered. "What? Disappointed? That mist is indeed strange, but unfortunately, it has no effect on me.""Impossible!" "Nothing is impossible. There's a lot you don't know." Gideon was full of mockery, but his face quickly turned cold. "Now, I'll give you a chance. Hand over Elara, and we can go our separate ways peacefully. Otherwise… suffer the consequences!"Pacino sneered. "Gideon, so what if you're still alive? Do you really think you can escape?""Pacino, kill him
