The elites and dignitaries whispered among themselves, all gloating and keeping their distance from the Yates family, eager to watch the drama unfold."Mr. Caspian, what do you think should be done about this?" Ruby asked."This…" Caspian was both shocked and furious. Tanner was useless and a disgrace!"You wretched child! Get up and apologize immediately!" Caspian kicked Tanner again.However, Russell spoke meaningfully, "Do you think an apology alone will suffice after offending our chairwoman? On top of that, you're only going to stand and apologize?"Caspian's heart tightened.At that moment, Timothy was consumed with rage. He believed that Russell's acquisition attempt on Yates Group, which humiliated the Glevensky family and ruined his apprenticeship plans, all stemmed from Tanner offending Ruby.The two were clearly working together. Offending Ruby meant offending Russell. Wasn't that why the acquisition happened in the first place?It was infuriating!Timothy was livid
"What do you need us to do, sir?" the subordinate asked.Daniel appeared thoughtful.After a moment, he waved his hand and said, "Wait and see what happens over the next couple of days. Let Ruby launch the Rejuvenation Pill first. Once the market accepts it, we'll snatch it from her. That way, the Hackle family won't even need to go through the trouble of launching a new drug ourselves.""Sir, that's brilliant!""Report to the family immediately. Gather some people to come here, and make sure to bring along some martial arts experts if possible.""Understood!"After the middle-aged man left, Daniel walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows. As he looked down at the bustling streets below, the corners of his lips curled into a cold smile."Ruby, everything you have will serve to benefit me. The Rejuvenation Pill? Great. As long as there aren't any issues, this will undoubtedly become a globally explosive new drug."Wealth will flow in endlessly. It must come under the control of my
"To prevent anyone from accusing me of falsification, the health reports have been officially notarized by the mayor. Everyone, take a look!" Ruby said.The crowd saw that the health reports indeed bore the official seal of the mayor's office.Unbelievable! The mayor was endorsing Aeternum Group. It was irrefutable.Some wealthy individuals couldn't wait any longer and shouted, "Ms. Mosley, hurry up and start selling! I can't hold back any longer!"Ruby smiled and said, "Everyone, please be patient. There are some things I need to clarify first. "First, because the Rejuvenation Pill is currently in limited supply and cannot meet the overwhelming demand, each person is limited to purchasing one pill and must be at least 14 years old. Those bringing infants to increase their count can forget about it."Immediately, some people showed dissatisfaction.Russell let out a cold snort, and his imposing presence blanketed the venue. All complaints instantly disappeared.Ruby noted to h
In the main conference room of YM Tower, Ruby received a report from her assistant. "Ms. Mosley, in just one hour, we've sold 10,000 Rejuvenation Pills. News has already spread to other cities, and many wealthy individuals are rushing here!""That's faster than I anticipated.""Ms. Mosley, at this rate, the production of the Rejuvenation Pill won't be able to keep up."Russell suggested, "Temporarily limit sales. Mr. Howell is researching the ancient formula and hopes to simplify it for mass production, but that will take some time."Ruby nodded. "Send out a notice. Sales will be halted for today. For the next month, sales will start at 12:00 pm daily, with 500 to 1,000 pills available each day. They'll be sold on a first-come, first-served basis.""Got it."After the assistant left, Ruby appeared worried. "Mr. Briggs, in just one hour, wealthy individuals from other cities have already heard about it. At this rate, it will soon spread nationwide and even overseas…""Are you sca
Gideon explained, "I didn't steal them. I took them.""Took them?""Stealing is stealing. How could you do such a thing!" Marion was so scared that her face turned pale.Arnold quickly interjected, "Gideon, we cannot afford to upset Aeternum Group. No matter where you got so many Rejuvenation Pills from, return them untouched at once!""Dad, I am the one who created the formula for the Rejuvenation Pill. And I could take way more than just a hundred pills. I could take ten times that amount, or even more, all for free!"Marion was full of anger. "That's ridiculous! Gideon, don't think that you can act arrogant just because Elara is showing you affection now. You're talking nonsense. Who do you think you are to have access to so many Rejuvenation Pills?"Don't drag us into your downfall! Leave this instant!"Marion grabbed Elara and forcibly pushed Gideon out of the door. With a loud bang, the villa door slammed shut behind him. Gideon was speechless, but he was relieved to be
As Ruby drove away from the villa area, a group of men in black, hidden in the neighboring yard, immediately contacted Daniel. "Mr. Hackle, Ruby has just left. Should we do it?""Stop talking nonsense! You want to wait until the New Year to do it?""Understood!"After hanging up the phone, the men quickly got into a car. They soon noticed a Hummer tailing Ruby."Boss, that looks like Lavinia's car!""If Lavinia's in there, things could get complicated. She's a war hero, after all. We are no match for her," expressed the leader with concern.However, one of his subordinates spoke up, "According to the thermal imaging, there are only two people inside. It's probably just her two personal guards protecting Ruby.""In that case, it should be an easy job. We'll take out the personal guards first!"This group of men were the elite members of the Hackle family, and they had no problem taking on two personal guards in secret.Ruby jumped when she heard a loud crash behind her, but she
Daniel said, "I have all the information you need, but I'll only give it to you if you provide me with the formulas for the Serenity Pill and Rejuvenation Pill. This way, Lavinia's life will be saved, and she can take control of the situation. "Will you agree, Ruby? Is your sister's life not worth more than these two formulas?"Ruby was stunned into silence. She gazed at Daniel and retorted, "How can I trust you? Everyone in Drammore knows that you are deceitful and treacherous. I won't fall for your lies."Daniel scoffed, "I don't need to deceive you. But to prove my sincerity, I'll give you some information first.""Tell me.""The Quin family!"Ruby trembled in shock.Daniel recounted, "The Quin family was one of the key players in the plot. Back then, Prince Haine had strongly recommended his son, Sean Quin, and everyone had thought that he would be hailed as a war hero. But much to everyone's surprise, it was Lavinia who got chosen instead. "This dealt a huge blow to Prin
The entire city was in shock as the Yates family faced yet another misfortune.This time, they were surrounded by soldiers. The news quickly spread and caught the attention of dignitaries and celebrities. Chaos erupted within the Yateses as Caspian hastily gathered his family members to gather.With a look of terror on his face, he greeted, "It is an honor to have you here, Commander Feld. What brings your soldiers to surround the Yates residence?"William Feld, the commander of the Goldspire War Zone, took notice of Lavinia, but she remained silent. He took a step forward and demanded, "Tell Tanner to come out at once!""Huh?" Caspian's expression showed pure bewilderment. His first thought was that Tanner had gotten himself into some kind of trouble again."You brat!" Caspian exclaimed, both shocked and angry. He yanked Tanner out of the surrounding crowd and hit him hard enough for him to fall to the ground. "What did you do to offend Commander Feld?"But Tanner seemed just as
The suns were burning the sky and boiling the sea.At that moment, the only thing Chaim could think about was how brilliant this was.Two suns hung in the sky, the scorching heat boiling the ocean. The spectacle was nothing short of breathtaking and awe-inspiring.From the floating palace, a tall figure slowly walked out as if the entire world revolved around him, wrapped in radiant light."It's finally done." Gideon clenched his fists, his face full of joy.After two or three days of torment, he pushed through and made it. He had successfully transformed. His battle physique had taken another leap. Now, he could call it Tier 2 Solar Titan Physique."There are nine total transformations—nine tiers. This is only the second. There's still a long road ahead."Gideon wasn't arrogant, but it didn't diminish his confidence. Now, he was sure he could trade blows with a peak Supreme without relying on the Beast Supreme Bone."It's ridiculously hard to break into Supreme Realm."In fact
A few minutes later, an aircraft slowly descended, and several figures disembarked. Among them were four people Noel recognized—Chaim and the others he had stopped before.However, that wasn't the important part.Noel's eyes landed on the man leading the group. It was a middle-aged man in a dark green robe. He whispered, "That should be Nethercult's leader. He's powerful."The energy he radiates is of a Supreme, but my gut tells me he's not fully a Supreme yet. At best, he must be half a step away. There's still something missing."Ronan spoke grimly, "They're here for the netherflame. Gideon's in trouble. But that kid could already go toe-to-toe with a Supreme before. Now, after the transformation, his physique should be even stronger. He shouldn't fear Tristan."On the shore, Chaim was confused. "Mr. Leblanc, why are we here?""Idiot," Tristan snapped. "That freak absorbed the netherflame. He'll be desperate for a safe place to suppress it. He couldn't stay in the aircraft forev
"Damn it!" Atop a mountain peak, Chaim slammed the ground in anger, his face dark with rage, breathing heavily.He had been chasing after the heavenly flame for so long, yet he didn't even catch a glimpse of a shadow."Mr. Ballard, calm down. Don't hurt yourself," the three Nethercult guardians tried to comfort him, though they, too, were seething with frustration.They already had it in the bag, but they blew it."They can't get away. I've already reported to Mr. Leblanc. That guy won't escape from his palm.""If Mr. Leblanc takes action himself, there's no way he'll fail.""Let's heal up first."…Inside the floating palace within Tyrant Sea, Jessica was bored out of her mind.The energy on the third level was incredibly intense. She wanted to check it out but didn't have the strength.Elara, on the other hand, was immersed in her training."Elara, aren't you even a little worried about Marshal Snow?""Why should I? He's tough. He won't die. Besides, we can't help him anyw
When Gideon left Drammore, Ronan and Noel followed. They entered Tyrant Sea, too, but didn't get close to the floating palace.It wasn't until Gideon blasted his way out of the floating palace, using the Doombringer Knuckle to shatter the killing formation, that Ronan recognized who he really was, leaving him completely stunned."Noel, you and Gideon both inherited my Doombringer Knuckle. Maybe this is just fate. You two are destined to clash one day." Ronan sighed."I'm looking forward to it," Noel said calmly, though the fighting spirit in his eyes was unmistakable.Ronan was surprised. "I thought you'd try to intercept Gideon and take the netherflame for yourself. I didn't expect you to help him by stopping the ones that were chasing him. Are you confident you've got this?"You should know that once Gideon fuses with the netherflame, his power will spike. I know a thing or two about the Solar Titan Physique. Every time it absorbs a new heavenly flame, it evolves."Once he has
"Marshal Snow, are you alright?" Jessica asked with concern as they burst out of Tyrant Sea and made it to shore. Gideon didn't look too good at the moment."Let's get moving. We have to find a safe place." Gideon could sense powerful members of Nethercult were already on their tail.The three of them rushed into the aircraft.Just as they lifted off, Chaim and the other four appeared right behind and struck without hesitation. "Nethervoid Hands!"A howling wind filled the sky as a swarm of black handprints and claw marks materialized, echoing with ghostly wails and eerie cries. The sinister energy pressed in from all sides, trying to engulf the aircraft."Solar Fist!"The two words echoed like thunder.Blazing light exploded outward, scorching and brilliant, spreading in every direction. The mass of black handprints and claws instantly disintegrated into nothing.The aircraft tore through the sky and vanished."After them!"Chaim's group leaped onto their own aircraft and to
The netherflame, as if it had a will of its own, seized the moment and flared up again with wild, unruly energy.Brantley screamed in pain.The sudden turn of events left Harmoni completely flustered. She shrieked, "Nethercult, you bunch of scumbags! It's bad enough that you used us as bait, but now, you're intercepting at the last second? You've got a death wish!"She instinctively assumed it was Nethercult pulling a bait-and-switch."Nethercult!" Brantley's eyes were bloodshot with rage.Gideon didn't say a word. He struck again, slashing open Brantley's abdomen.The netherflame burst out immediately.Inside Gideon, his Earthcore Flame trembled, and the core of his Solar Titan Physique pulsed with anticipation. Sure enough, it drew the netherflame in like a magnet. With Gideon guiding it, the netherflame turned into a stream of ghostly green light that surged into his body."No!" Brantley roared.He had paid such a heavy price. Just as he was about to seal the netherflame,
Brantley truly lived up to his reputation. As soon as the netherflame entered his body, he immediately sat down cross-legged and began channeling his energy. His Martial God Physique reawakened, and he tried to forcefully suppress the netherflame.His body would turn blazing red one moment, as if it were about to melt, and then be covered in frost and ice shards the next.The alternating waves of fire and ice quickly tore through the internal structure of Brantley's Martial God Physique, and his condition kept worsening."No!"Harmoni was terrified. She quickly spat out an inner core—a treasure her father had given her. It was said to be the inner core of a half apex overbeast. However, it was badly damaged and no longer contained the full power of its original level.She instantly sent the inner core into Brantley's body. It exploded instantly, releasing a surge of energy that began to repair his damaged body.But it still wasn't enough. The netherflame was far too powerful. It
"Once you get the netherflame, your Martial God Physique will fully awaken in no time. When that happens, even Gideon won't be a threat."We can track Gideon down, crush him, and strip his Solar Titan Physique at the source. We'll also get the Beast Supreme Bone! Everything will be yours!" Harmoni shouted, cheering Brantley on.Gideon sneered. So, that was their plan.At this moment, Gideon couldn't help but admire the power of the Pharaoh's Shroud. They were just 100 yards away, yet neither Brantley nor Harmoni noticed them.Of course, it might have been because their attention was fully locked on breaking through to the third floor that they let their guards down."Open!" Brantley roared.His energy surged, and behind him, a phantom slowly took shape, radiating a fierce warrior-like energy. That phantom looked like a war god.Brantley kept swinging his fists, perfectly synchronized with the movements of the war god phantom behind him. Each strike made the floating palace tremb
Sure enough, floating in the deep sea ahead was a palace. It was pitch-black, and in the darkness of the deep sea, it was genuinely hard to spot.The glowing fish darted into the floating palace. Thanks to its golden light, Gideon was finally able to see that the palace gates were open.Strangely enough, the entrance seemed to carry some sort of mysterious power that blocked out the seawater completely. Not a single drop made it inside the palace."Marshal Snow, someone beat us to it.""It's fine. That just means they'll go and clear the way for us," Gideon said calmly.It didn't matter who got the heavenly flame first. As long as they weren't peak Supremes, he was confident he could take them on."Now that we've found our destination, do you two want to head back to shore first?" Gideon asked.Elara shook her head. "No. I'm not some helpless little thing. I've learned all the secret techniques you taught me. I can handle myself."Jessica chimed in proudly, "Marshal Snow, don't
