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
Tanner's actions nearly wiped out the Yateses. Tanner's face paled, his wits seemingly lost. Little did he know that he had offended a war hero! It was a disaster, and everything was ruined."Take him away! Who dares to stop me?" William commanded, gesturing to the soldiers who immediately escorted Tanner out of the room.No one dared to stop them, not even Caspian."Forget everything I said, or you'll face consequences," William warned before leading his soldiers away.The entire Yates family was filled with despair. News quickly spread in their social circle that Tanner had been taken away, but no one knew the exact reason why. Many people asked the Yateses about it, but they were too scared to say anything and pretended to be clueless about the situation.…"Please calm down, Ms. Mosley!" Caius was desperately trying to placate Lavinia inside the Mayor's Mansion.He then discreetly reached out to Gideon and requested his assistance by saying, "Mr. Snow, I've encountered a b
In the grandiose halls of the White Gold Palace in Eanovia, a middle-aged man was observing the president of Eanovia when suddenly his communicator went off, and his expression changed drastically."Sorry. Something came up. I have to go.""Doctor! Doctor…" the president of Eanovia urgently called out to him, but the middle-aged man didn't even look back as he rushed out of the palace.Outside, a team of heavily armed special forces surrounded him.The captain's voice rang out coldly, "Doctor, please continue treating our president. We can handle any trouble you may have.""Handle it, my foot!" the middle-aged man shouted angrily. "Get lost!"A powerful energy swept through the area, knocking down the world-class soldiers with force and causing blood to flow from their ears and noses. The president rushed out and was shocked by this sight."Damn it! Who gave you permission to block him? Get out of here! And make sure to prepare our most advanced stealth aircraft for him immedi
"The audacity! You dare to capture the younger sister of a war hero! Are you not afraid that Lavinia will hunt you down and give you what's coming to you?" Sean asked.Daniel laughed and spoke with arrogance, "Sean, what makes Lavinia so special? She may be a war hero, but she's just a woman. The Hackles are not intimidated by her."Sean calmly took a sip of her coffee before responding, "I won't waste time arguing with you. I need your help in resolving the conflict between me and Lavinia. Ruby has captured my interest.""Sean, are you suggesting that I hand her over?""Don't worry. I am willing to compensate you for it. Name your price, or I'll owe you a favor. In the future, if you encounter any trouble that is within my ability to solve, I will be obligated to assist you." Sean then added two significant words. "Well, then?"Well, it was clear that he felt pressured into making the deal.Daniel's brows furrowed. How had Sean found out that he had Ruby in his grasp? This was a
The second round of carpet bombing arrived. However, due to the champions coalition forces taking shelter in the air-raid shelters, they managed to avoid the full impact of the disaster. Nevertheless, several air-raid shelters collapsed, burying those who were already injured and had limited mobility in tragic fatalities. The scene was absolutely devastating!After a continuous 30-minute bombardment, the mountain range was almost entirely flattened. Thick smoke enveloped the area, and flames rapidly spread.Helio experienced an intense sense of exhilaration."Surround them! Take it slow and pick them off one by one. Let them feel that crushing despair. So what if they are masters or transcendent? They're nothing but mere specks!"The fierce wind howled, carrying strands of dark vapor that swept across the entire area. However, this phenomenon went largely unnoticed, as most assumed it was merely smoke from the burning beacons signaling the war.On a distant mountain peak, the ch
"Lord Howard, I think we need to take more drastic measures. This siege is getting pretty dull," one of the men said."Yeah, I agree," another chimed in."There's got to be some bloodshed!""Revenge for the eight major factions!"Howard, Willis, and Lyle were relaxing with drinks in hand, engaging in casual conversation."You guys can come up with a plan, but let's start by taking out 30,000 masters," Howard mentioned nonchalantly."Awesome!" The generals were thrilled.The battle was about to kick off.Shells started flying one after another, blanketing the entire area with firepower and pounding the whole mountain range."No!"The champions coalition forces were caught off guard.Despite their shock, the well-trained powerhouses did not panic. Under the guidance of the transcendent beings, the 180,000 masters joined together as a formidable force and unleashed their terrifying power, creating a massive storm.The impact of their explosions clashed with the energy of the c
Douglas rolled his eyes and said, "Gideon, there actually isn't any deep-seated hatred between us. Why don't we take this opportunity to bury the hatchet?""What do you mean?""Do you have any champions under your command who are younger than 30 years old? You can lend them to my family."Gideon said, "Are you planning to recruit outside help to participate in the Martial Arts Tournament? Is that even allowed?"Douglas answered, "It wasn't allowed in the past, but it's permitted for this time round. The Foxhall royal family fought hard for this change, as their young leader's death has left them with a lack of capable successors. They have no choice but to seek help from outside."Moreover, the participants in this tournament are all familiar faces from the previous one, which can be quite dull. So when the Foxhall royal family suggested inviting outsiders to compete, the other royal families simply agreed."What do you say? Do you have any skilled young champions in your command
In any case, Douglas took a brief moment to gather his thoughts before saying, "I've heard rumors about the Jaeger royal family having powerful secret weapons. It's probably why they're so comfortable living deep in Kitherglen."Did you know, even the Nevitt royal family, who hold the highest rank, didn't select Kitherglen as their territory? They opted for the region surrounding Solaris instead."In the heart of Kitherglen lies many unknown and perilous dangers. Rumors say there are monstrous beasts there that cannot be found elsewhere. These beasts can easily overpower masters and even wipe out transcendents.""Sir, that's correct," Ian confirmed. "Cipher managed to capture three of those creatures in the depths of Kitherglen. But it came at a great cost, as we lost valuable members in the process."Gideon perked up with interest. "If there's any possibility, I want them brought here for me to examine.""Consider it done," Ian replied. He promptly sent a message to Cipher headqu
"Gideon, I advise you not to go too far. I am royalty. You should know how high my status is! How dare you make me kneel? This is outrageous! "Since you're also from Dasovia, you should know that you should respect the royal family and even hold it in awe! It is you who should be on your knees!" Douglas ranted.He was extremely angry, but he could not do anything about it as he was firmly pinned to the ground.Gideon sat with his legs crossed, swirling a glass of red wine in his hand and smiling. "I have to admire you. You're a prisoner now, yet you're still so full of yourself."Douglas snorted coldly, "Gideon, this humiliation won't last long. But you've caused a huge disaster. My family will definitely take action and gather hundreds of thousands of troops. "Even though you have 180,000 masters and 30,000 transcendents, they'll be like paper in front of a fully armed army. They won't withstand a single blow! If you're smart, release me right away and come with me to surrender
"What?" Howard and the others were really mad.Even though a lot of powerful masters and transcendents had been taken out, the rest of the forces were still in good shape. They were still backing up the Chapman royal family. Now that six of these factions were completely gone, it looked like Mullong Dragons and Thunderbolt were bound to meet the same fate of being wiped out as well. Howard and the others were grinding their teeth in frustration.But then Willis said, "Actually, this could work in our favor. We were just worried about not being able to make a move on the battlefield, right? So let's use this to force Dominic to show up.""What do you mean?""Let's send out the troops right away to surround those masters and transcendents. That should bring Dominic and his crew running."Lyle thought for a second and nodded. "Yeah, that’s actually a pretty smart move!"Howard agreed right away and gave the order. Before they knew it, 300,000 men were on the move.Among the eight
It couldn't be Gideon, right?Although Ruby knew that Gideon had considerable power and could make Geoffrey submit to him, it was too astonishing to conquer so many world-class champions. If Gideon could achieve this, he could directly establish a country and become its ruler.Why would he return to Dasovia and stay cooped up in the small Goldspire? Who could it be, then? Ruby was also very puzzled. The two sisters each had their own thoughts and left Beaker Island.…The Chapman royal family was still moving. Finally, after three days, all 300,000 troops were assembled. The forces of the Blood Demons and Thunder Gods also arrived in full. In total, there were 500,000 men.Among them, the number of masters added up to 30,000, and the number of transcendents totaled up to 10,000!The Nine Provinces of Dasovia were extremely vast. Among them, Dalhurst was the largest, with an area equivalent to that of two other provinces. However, two-thirds of it was occupied by mountains and r
This was also what Lavinia was looking forward to."I've read about your deeds carefully. Over the years, you've been silently making contributions to Dasovia and have achieved countless military exploits. I know that you're a patriotic hero."Currently, Tylland is recklessly provoking us by causing chaos at the border, destroying, and stealing from our people. I don't believe that you are not furious about this, and I also doubt that you will remain apathetic."With your strength, we could easily take on Tylland together. I need to understand why you rejected my proposition."Dominic was touched. He could sense a strong feeling of patriotism in her eyes. It was uncommon to see such a deep sentiment in a young woman in her 20s.At that moment, Dominic couldn't help but appreciate her talents and potential. He knew that if she were to be sacrificed for no reason, it would be a tragic and unfortunate loss."Lavinia, there are hidden talents in Dasovia. There are other powerful peop
Blood Demons and Thunder Gods were among the top forces in the world-class arena. They were huge and well-known far and wide. Willis and Lyle were also powerful figures who had made a name for themselves globally.When these two factions sent out all their forces, no one could afford to be careless or underestimate them."Those two, Willis and Lyle, do have some skills. Years ago, I tried to seize them and bring them to Oasis Vale, but they managed to slip away and vanish without a trace. I even went to the headquarters of Blood Demons and Thunder Gods but couldn't find them."It'll be perfect if they show up now. We can take them down, capture them, and throw them into Oasis Vale for some toughening up!"The champions' eyes lit up as they heard this. In their minds, they were already silently offering condolences for Willis and Lyle. "These two factions definitely need our attention, but there's no need to stress too much. We can call on our formidable troops if needed. That's i
