Yates Group was the largest pharmaceutical corporation in Goldspire, so Russell chose it without hesitation. Thus, this scene unfolded."Mr. Briggs," a junior disciple called out and reported, "a large group of people has gathered outside the building. Leading them are members of the Yates family, and they seem furious.""Excellent!" Russell stood up with a smile. "Everyone, let's go take a look."Before Hanson, Caspian, and the others could step into the building, Russell and his group emerged."Hmm?" Hanson's eyes flickered with unease.As the senior of the Glevensky family, he had seen his fair share of prominent figures.Immediately, he noticed the extraordinary demeanor of Russell and his companions, guessing they had to come from a powerful background.However, Caspian was furious. "So, it's you kids who dared to acquire Yates Group! Such arrogance!"Russell responded, "You must be Caspian, the head of the Yates family. I've already placed the contract in the conference r
Silence engulfed the scene. It was the kind of deathly silence that swallowed everything.Everyone was dumbfounded. Even Hanson himself felt his mind go blank, unable to process what had just happened.Russell remained composed and refined, chuckling softly. "Mr. Glevensky, do you still think we're being arrogant now?"Finally, Hanson snapped out of his daze. His hair stood on end.Russell was incredibly strong! He was undoubtedly a top-tier expert, far beyond Hanson's ability to contend with. No wonder he was so domineering. His confidence came from terrifying strength.Although Russell appeared refined, his tone polite and even accompanied by a smile, Hanson could feel the sharp, oppressive energy emanating from him, subtle yet suffocating.At this moment, Hanson had no choice but to set everything else aside. He scrambled to his feet, clasped his hands, and said respectfully, "I didn't expect your strength to be so formidable, young friend. I'm impressed. It seems I spoke out
Lavinia couldn't help but admire Russell. He was someone so powerful yet genuinely humble. It was clear he wasn't faking it. His sincerity set him apart from countless men of his age."May I ask, Mr. Briggs, where are you from?""Well…" Russell paused briefly.Lavinia quickly added, "If it's inconvenient to say, that's perfectly fine. I apologize for being presumptuous.""It's not really a secret. I'm from Healers Valley.""Healers Valley?" She froze for a moment.A few seconds later, her eyes widened, and she exclaimed, "Healers Valley! You mean that Healers Valley?"Russell replied, "How many Healers Valleys do you think there are in the world?"Lavinia's mind was in turmoil.On the other hand, Ruby covered her mouth in shock."That's right!" She was elated. "The Medicine Sovereign is here in Goldspire, isn't he? Mr. Briggs, you must be here with him, right?""How do you know Mr. Howell is in Goldspire?""Classified intel," Ruby said with a chuckle, her eyes twinkling. Sh
"Lav, this is truly a blessing from above! Just a few days ago, I was sad that I couldn't meet the Medicine Sovereign, and now, we're directly collaborating with Healers Valley," Ruby exclaimed, clearly in an excellent mood."As long as I build a good relationship with Russell, Lav, I might even be able to join Healers Valley. If that happens, the Mosley family will have a powerful backer.""Keep it up!" Lavinia was also delighted. Seeing Ruby thrive was a great joy for the family.Ruby said, "I need to hurry up and relocate the company. The Hackle family has been targeting me in Drammore, so I'll just give up that market for now. "Once I've solidified my relationship with Healers Valley, I'll return with a vengeance. The Hackle family? They're nothing more than ants compared to Healers Valley."…That day, the Mosley family in Drammore held a meeting. Everyone was brimming with excitement.The Mosleys actively assisted Ruby in relocating her pharmaceutical company, creating a
The Yates family's total cash reserves amounted to barely a tenth of the offer."Damn it!" Caspian was so furious that he nearly spat blood.If he had known it was that much money, why should he bother with pride? He should have just signed the contract. But now, it was too late."Sir!" The butler rushed in hurriedly. "Someone just delivered an invitation."Caspian glanced at it and said in a deep voice, "Tomorrow, Aeternum Group is holding a grand opening ceremony, inviting the city's elites to attend. It's said they'll also be launching a new drug.""Sir, should we go?""Why not? No matter what, the Yates family is still a pharmaceutical giant in Goldspire. Even a powerful outsider must respect the local powers. There's a chance Aeternum Group might cooperate with us."Timothy added, "They're new here and pushing a new drug. It won't be easy for them to succeed. I think they'll need our family's help. We've taken root in Goldspire for years and have a massive market they can't
"What? Mr. Howell, are you saying the Rejuvenation Pill preserves youth?" Ruby struggled to contain her emotions, but she couldn't help crying out.Geoffrey chuckled. "It does have the effect of preserving youth, but since it's a new drug, I can't guarantee it will work perfectly every time. Generally speaking, it's reliable. "Preliminary tests show that one treatment can maintain its effects for five years. The younger the person, the better the results. The older they are, the less effective it becomes."After taking it, results appear within seven days, especially for younger people dealing with acne or dark spots. The improvements are striking.""That's incredible!" Ruby was ecstatic.It was easy to imagine that once the Rejuvenation Pill hit the market, it would cause a sensation and spark a frenzy.Geoffrey added, "The Rejuvenation Pill is destined to be a global sensation. However, to avoid unnecessary trouble, I've decided to launch it initially in Goldspire. We'll gradu
"Lav, this is no blessing from above. It is because of Gideon," Ruby thought to herself, wanting so badly to tell Lavinia to break off any talks about her engagement to Gideon.Geoffrey had called Gideon "sir". That title alone made him someone who could dominate the entire world!No wonder Gideon always had such a carefree attitude. He had the qualifications for it!"Kid, what are you thinking about? You seem off," Lavinia probed."I'm just so excited, Lav.""Don't let it get to your head. Stay grounded and work step by step to establish a solid market in Goldspire. The family is counting on you!"Lavinia felt overjoyed seeing Ruby seize such a tremendous opportunity with unlimited potential ahead.…Over the past few days, Gideon had been working tirelessly to produce the Rejuvenation Pill and was completely worn out."Sir, tomorrow is the grand opening of Aeternum Group. Are you attending?""I'm not interested." Gideon shook his head.Geoffrey added, "Sir, did you know th
"Me, me, me!""I'll do it!""Pick me! Pick me!"When great rewards were offered, brave individuals would always step forward.A billion dollars was an astronomical figure to any family in Goldspire. Who wouldn't want it?Some people even planned to take the Rejuvenation Pill and then intentionally harm themselves to fraudulently claim the billion dollars!Ruby smiled and said, "I understand what you're thinking, but Aeternum Group will never allow anyone to fool us!"Russell stepped forward, and an overwhelming presence filled the venue.Instantly, the crowd fell silent.Many elites and dignitaries looked at Russell with deep apprehension. His terrifying strength, displayed at Yates Group's building days ago, was still fresh in their memories.Even Hanson had avoided him. How could they dare provoke him?It was clear that defrauding the billion dollars was impossible.Still, there were those willing to try. Ultimately, Ruby chose a woman in her 20s."Huh? Me?" The young wo
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
