"Mr. Snow!" Mose greeted."Mr. Pead, sorry to bother you again," Gideon said.Laughter came from the other end of the line. "Don't be so polite. I'm always happy to hear from you. Is there something important? Could it be about the Hackle family again?"Gideon replied, "The Hackles are nothing more than insignificant ants to me. I don't give them a second thought. What I want to ask is, do you know the location of the royal family?""The royal family!" Mose lifted an eyebrow.After a few seconds of silence, he asked, "Why are you suddenly asking about this? Don't tell me a royal family member has provoked you. As far as I know, the royal family members aren't allowed to leave their secluded territories without permission. They shouldn't have any contact with you."Gideon said, "You're overthinking it, Mr. Pead. I'm simply looking for someone. I have a friend within the royal family, and I'd like to meet her."Because of the gravity of the situation, Gideon refrained from reveali
Harvey's mind raced.But figuring out how to persuade Gideon to help him was a real challenge and would require careful planning.When he returned to Elk Manor, something felt off. The estate was eerily silent. As he walked in, he saw that it was completely empty. The elites and wealthy guests were nowhere to be found."Dad!" a shout rang out.Harvey turned toward the voice and immediately froze. Xavier was kneeling on the ground."Who did this?" Harvey roared.The lights suddenly brightened, revealing a group of people cloaked in black robes sitting in the hall.There were eight of them. Their faces and bodies were concealed, leaving only their eyes exposed. Their presence was chilling. Just one glance made Harvey's hair stand on end.Not daring to act recklessly, Harvey asked, "Who are you people? As far as I know, I have never met you and should have no grievances with you."One of the black-robed figures spoke in a raspy voice, "We're here to find our junior disciple.""J
"Father! Mother! Where are you?" Gideon called out.Late at night, he stood alone by the shore, lost in thought. With some clues finally in hand, he desperately hoped everything would go smoothly.The sea breeze blew gently. Ripples danced across the water's surface.Unbeknownst to him, Rachel was watching from the distant woods. Seeing his lonely silhouette filled her with sorrow.He was so alone. Though he stood at the top of the world, unmatched and unparalleled, he seemed utterly out of place in this world.Rachel wished so much that she could go up and embrace Gideon.Meanwhile, Harvey had already driven to the bridge. "Gentlemen, that's Beaker Island!""Get down." The black-robed men stepped out.Confused, Harvey asked, "Gentlemen, aren't you going to Beaker Island? Or should I go ahead and inform Gideon and have him crawl over to meet you?"The black-robed men didn't respond.One of them squinted and sneered, "That young man on the beach matches your description. He mu
"I see." Gideon nodded, his face growing cold. "In that case, there's no reason for Daemonium Sect to exist. I'll start with you all.""You're courting death!" The black-robed men were furious.A few of the more hotheaded among them attacked immediately, roaring as they charged."Kill!" three of them shouted as they rushed forward.However, as soon as they stepped within three feet of Gideon, a sudden chill overwhelmed them. An inexplicable fear surged through their hearts.They froze in their tracks.As transcendents, their sense of danger was exceptionally sharp. Realizing the terrifying energy surrounding Gideon, the three attempted to retreat."Time to go." Gideon uttered three words, his voice like the judgment of a god.The trio's pupils shrank in terror, their fear reaching its peak. They couldn't even breathe as immense pressure crushed their bodies, shattering their bones.In an instant, Gideon obliterated all three of them with a punch. Not a trace of their bodies re
Harvey dropped heavily to his knees. His face was pale as a sheet. Terror consumed him, and his body trembled uncontrollably, like a leaf in the wind."Spare me, sir! I was wrong! I'll never do it again! Please, have mercy!"Harvey knocked his head on the ground repeatedly, tears streaming down his face as he begged for his life.Gideon said coldly, "I spared you once, but you didn't cherish it and came looking for death again.""I was wrong! I was wrong! I was wrong!"Harvey's forehead was bruised and bloodied from his incessant knocking. Blood streamed down his face, but he didn't dare stop.Gideon said, "Give me a reason to let you live. If you can't, then you'll join the others on their way."Harvey's face lit up with hope.He cried out, "Sir, I have a secret I haven't told you yet. It's about your parents.""Oh?" Gideon raised an eyebrow.Harvey said, "From what I know, it wasn't just the Jaeger royal family that wanted to capture your parents back then. There were also
Recently, Zane left Goldspire and went to Dalhurst to lay low. After hearing about the family's crisis, he rushed back in a hurry.Zachary's face was firm, burning with rage. "That bastard, Harvey, dared to play me! Does he really think the Farrell family is an easy target? We've been rooted in Goldspire for over a century. Does he think we're that easy to topple?"Zane, you shouldn't have come back. I'm heading to Dalhurst right now, and you're coming with me!"Zane was baffled, while the rest of the Farrell family members were trembling in fear. They thought Zachary was preparing to flee."What are you afraid of?" Zachary snapped. "I'm going to Dalhurst to get reinforcements! Don't you all remember who Zane's mother is?"The younger generation of the Farrell family was confused, but the older members gasped in shock before their faces lit up with joy.Zane asked, "Dad, what are you talking about? Didn't you say Mom passed away a long time ago?"Zachary sighed. "Zane, I lied to
In the countryside outside of Goldspire, a BMW drove into Roselake Village, drawing the attention of many villagers working in the fields.This was a poor village, and cars were rarely seen. The arrival of a luxury vehicle naturally caused a stir.Gideon parked the car at the foot of the mountain behind the village.This area was remote, with only one household nearby. It was a simple house with a fenced yard where a few chickens and ducks roamed about."This should be the place," Gideon thought, his mind filled with memories.The reason he came here was related to his parents. Many years ago, when he was a child, he accompanied Peter to this very place. Peter had brought the Empyrean Atlas to consult with an elderly gentleman, seemingly for research purposes.Back then, Gideon didn't understand much and didn't think much of it.It was only recently that he remembered this person. However, so many years had passed that he wasn't sure if the old gentleman was still alive.Walkin
Elliot crawled under the bed. When he came out, his face was smudged with dust. "Gideon, the box is gone!""I see how it is." Gideon's expression turned grim.While he was busy scouting out Elliot, it seemed like someone was also stalking him.He hadn't expected to fall into someone's trap. Who could it possibly be? Gideon contacted Leopold and Nino, issuing an order, "Take all available personnel right now and head to Crimsonhill. Seal off all major traffic routes!"Next, Gideon made a call to Caius. Upon hearing that someone had stolen Gideon's treasure, Caius was shocked. He quickly mobilized the police department and other relevant authorities to enforce a complete lockdown on Crimsonhill, extending the restrictions to the entire district."Interesting. I'm really curious to see who you are. Could it be someone from the Jaeger royal family?"As far as Gideon could think, the only people who might covet the Empyrean Atlas were from the Jaeger royal family. Of course, other
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
