Chapter 27

Penulis: Jason Chord
The Seymours all sported strange expressions. They didn't know what to say about Matthew, who'd fled off quicker than anyone would've thought. What was he doing here now?

Matthew also felt awkward, but he tried to explain himself. "You've misunderstood me, everyone. I only ran off to get help!"

"To get help?"

"Of course! How could I have possibly abandoned you guys? If not for the backups I found, Ella wouldn't have been able to return unscathed."

Gideon's lips twitched. He couldn't believe how shameless Matthew was. From the looks of it, Matthew was trying to twist things around.

However, Marion's eyes lit up as she exclaimed, "It's all thanks to you, then! Here we were thinking it was Gideon who saved Ella."

Matthew was secretly pleased. He'd only made it up on a whim to see if he could get lucky. He didn't expect to actually succeed.

Was it Gideon who saved Elara? Regardless of whether it was the case, Matthew was certainly going to take the credit for it.

He thought, "Oh, G

    "I also get a share?" Matthew asked."Of course! If not for you, Ella would've had to suffer, and we wouldn't have gotten five million dollars. You deserve half of it."Matthew was tickled pink. Why would he reject such a windfall? He was getting 2.5 million dollars without having to do anything."Well, in that case, I won't stand on formalities, Mrs. Seymour," Matthew said as he cast a smug look at Gideon.He no longer thought it was Gideon who saved Elara, either. Only a big shot could get Nino to humble himself and hand over five million dollars as a token of his apology. Neither Gideon nor the Snows could do it.Gideon was also thoroughly disappointed with Marion and Elara. Why didn't they use their brains? Did they not stop and consider what kind of family the Carters were? How could they get Nino to back down?"I'm heading home, Dad," Gideon said before leaving the room. He didn't want to waste any more of his breath on them.Marion glared at Arnold and complained, "See th

    "I won't take the 2.5 million dollars you're offering me, either. Let's put all five million dollars as an investment in your name. Would that be alright with you, Mr. and Mrs. Seymour?""We couldn't possibly do that, Matthew," Marion said. "It'll be at your expense."Matthew replied, "Ella and I are such good friends. This means nothing to me. It's not like I need the money, either. I'd feel bad about taking 2.5 million dollars from you guys. Let's just invest everything to save you the trouble of having to put the money in the bank."Arnold was a little hesitant. After all, five million dollars was a massive sum of money. He was a bit worried about handing everything over just like that."What's there for you to think about?" Marion questioned. "Matthew is clearly doing us a favor. We should be overjoyed. There's no reason for you to hesitate."While speaking, she passed the box of cash to Matthew."Here. Take it all. We'll invest all five million dollars. I wish you all the be

    "Ms. Mosley, I have received an urgent report!" Benny cried out as he came rushing up to Lavinia, who was in the Mayor's Mansion discussing something with Caius Grayson, the mayor of Goldspire.She shot Benny a look and said in displeasure, "Can't you see that I'm talking to Mr. Grayson? What's so important that it can't wait until we're done?"Benny lowered his head before saying, "I'm afraid it's something major, Ms. Mosley."Seeing that, Caius smiled and said, "It's alright. Ms. Mosley. Why don't we hear what it is? I doubt your guard would be impolite enough to interrupt us if it wasn't something serious."Thinking he had a point, Lavinia said, "Go on.""Ms. Mosley, we received an urgent report saying that Reaper, the ninth-ranking hitman on the hitman tier list, has come to Goldspire.""What?" Lavinia exclaimed. She was a little taken aback.Caius' expression stiffened as well. As the mayor of a major city like Goldspire, he was well-informed. The Hitman Guild was a dark do

    Meanwhile, Gideon was at the lakefront, looking at the figure in black with keen interest. He chuckled and asked, "You seem strong, but I don't recognize you. Where are you from, or rather, who sent you?" "Tom," the man replied flatly. "Ah, I see. That fat pig's got some nerve to be still causing trouble," Gideon remarked.Reaper's gaze turned ice-cold. He stated, "Tom is my friend. Insulting him is insulting me, and doing so is a death sentence. "Take ten seconds to savor the sun and this world one last time because I'm sending you to meet your maker soon." Gideon laughed, genuinely entertained. "At least tell me who you are, so I don't die clueless.""Reaper—Ninth on the Hitman Guild's Shadow Ranking!""Hitman Guild?" Gideon pondered thoughtfully. He suddenly remembered the self-proclaimed King of Hitmen, Jeremy Boisclair, who ranked first in the Hitman Guild's Shadow Ranking. Jeremy had been caught and brought to Oasis Vale years ago, initially defiant but eventually b

    "Staying in Goldspire was the right choice," Lavinia thought, her mood significantly improving. She even believed Dominic would change his mind in time and agree to help her deal with Tylland. She looked at Reaper's body again, her expression turning cold. "Take photos and send them through Cipher. Let the entire Hitman Guild know that Shadow Ranking's Number Nine, Reaper, has died." "Yes, Ms. Mosley!" her guards immediately complied.Poor Tom was still waiting for good news at his mansion, unaware that Reaper had already crossed to the other side.…Elsewhere, Gideon casually strolled into Snow Corporation, completely unbothered by his earlier encounter. Killing Reaper had been such an insignificant matter to him that he had not given it a second thought."Mr. Snow!" Fred greeted him as soon as he entered the building. Fred, now appointed as the company's CEO by Gideon, wielded considerable power and was immensely grateful for the promotion. The company had been on the brink

    Gideon arrived with his entourage and surveyed the scene. Besides Eric, there were five other young men, all dressed in designer brands and wearing watches worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. They were clearly spoiled heirs from wealthy families. Fred leaned in and whispered, "We might have a problem. Those are the heirs from the Mackenzie, Winston, Campbell, Lane, and Torres families—all second-tier families with close ties to the Gross family."Gideon nodded slightly, understanding the situation.Meanwhile, Eric's laughter dripped with mockery. "Gideon, you finally decided to show yourself. I was starting to think you would hide like a coward." Gideon smirked. "After yesterday's beating, you should know better by now. Look at you. Your face is still swollen and bruised. Do you really think I'd back down?"Eric's face turned ashen, unable to respond. At that moment, Ivan Mackenzie stepped forward with a sneer. "Gideon, long time no see! I heard you've been farming for the

    "Are you done laughing?" Gideon asked, causing Eric and his group to fall silent immediately. "If you're done, get out of my sight," Gideon continued. "And Eric, don't forget about the acquisition—tell your father to prepare the contract."Eric's face twisted in fury. "You've got some nerve, Gideon! Talking like you actually can do it. Well, I came here for two things today—first, to buy this worthless company, and second... to settle the score for what you did to me."At that moment, about 60 intimidating men burst into the lobby. Fred and the others paled instantly. They could tell at a glance that these men were clearly dangerous criminals and were far more than their 20 security guards could handle.Eric sneered, his tone dripping with malice as he said, "Since you're such a tough guy, Gideon, we brought some friends for you. These 58 gentlemen are hardened criminals with blood on their hands. I hope you don't disappoint them." In seconds, the thugs encircled Gideon, makin

    At the same time, the young heirs of the Torres, Campbell, and other families received similar harsh scoldings from their fathers. The five men exchanged bewildered looks, uncertain of what was happening."What's going on, guys?" Eric asked in confusion, but they could only offer apologetic looks. "I'm sorry, Eric. There's an emergency at home. I need to go right away," Ivan said hurriedly. "Same here..."The others echoed similar excuses and quickly bolted out of the building with their hired muscle. What had been a crowd of 58 thugs now dwindled to just eight."Surround them!" Fred commanded quickly, and their 20 security guards encircled Eric and his remaining thugs. The tables had turned, bringing relief to the Snows, while Eric stood there dumbfounded, unable to understand why his allies had suddenly abandoned him."Fred, I'll let you handle this," Gideon said casually. "No problem," Fred replied with a cold smile. Though he did not know exactly how, he was certain Gid

    At that moment, somewhere within Bandit's Hollow, eight figures surrounded a central altar, and the person lying in the center was none other than Elara.The eight people were, of course, the seven hooligans and Ivo.Ivo was strikingly handsome, clad in red, with an almost otherworldly charm. A genius by birth, he had already reached the sixth-tier peak transcendent at the age of 36.In the past few days, he had broken through once more to the seventh-tier peak transcendent with the help of the seven hooligans.Ivo's eyes were filled with greed as he stared at Elara on the altar. "Masters, have you decided on a method yet?"The seven hooligans consisted of four men and three women. Six appeared middle-aged, while one was an old man, Pacino Albe. He was the leader of the seven hooligans.Holding a snake-headed staff, he said grimly, "This woman's pure-essence core has already awakened. The pure-essence energy it's releasing is terrifying."If we weren't suppressing it, the energy

    "We're already here. If we don't go in and take a look, wouldn't that be a waste?" Gideon was optimistic, grinning. "I'm like a cockroach. I'm hard to kill.""I'll go with you." Winter grabbed Gideon's hand, eyes blazing with determination. She was ready to live and die alongside him.Gideon kissed her forehead. "This might sound harsh, but honestly, Winter, if you come with me, you'll just be a burden.""Do you have to be that blunt?" She glared at him."Either way, don't get any ideas. You all stay behind. I'm going in alone."Gideon looked toward the deep, dark passage and took a deep breath.Umbra hesitated, but in the end, she said nothing.She and Gideon weren't at the point of life-and-death loyalty yet. Besides, even if she wanted to follow, Gideon probably wouldn't allow it."Stay safe. I'm off."Gideon descended the mountain, sprinting toward the eerie canyon. A gust of cold wind blew against him, chilling him to the bone.Winter bit her lip, watching as Gideon ente

    At that critical moment, a black shadow slammed forward, shattering the claw imprint into pieces.It was the beast with a severed limb, Zephara's companion beast. It caught Zephara, whipped up a storm, and fled into the distance.At the same time, the fallen beasts gradually steadied themselves, stirring up fierce winds that obscured the sky.Gideon watched silently.Before long, everything settled, and the dust cleared.Orabella walked over and asked, "So, how does it feel?""Exhilarating!" He couldn't help but laugh. "A random tribe, under a single woman's leadership, could unleash such power. As expected of Asgard Plains, there's always someone stronger."Gideon sighed emotionally.Orabella chuckled. "The Windrunners aren't even the top tribe. The gap between them and the top-tier tribes is even bigger. So, don't get cocky. You've still got a long way to go!"Gideon glanced at her. "Why do you sound like an old sage all of a sudden, lecturing people?"She rolled her eyes.

    "Ms. Tempest, the target is just ahead. It's ten miles away on the mountain peak. It looks like they're waiting for us."Zephara Tempest's expression darkened. That was outright contempt!"They must be killed.""Got it!"The howling wind stirred the clouds above, creating a turbulent sky.Gideon stood proudly at the mountain's peak, gazing into the distance.Before long, a dark mass rushed toward him. The entire world was engulfed in a massive storm. Razor-sharp wind blades tore through the mountain, and trees turned to dust.Zephara perched atop her beast companion, looking down at Gideon with cold eyes. "So, you're the human who provoked my people?"Gideon's face remained blank. He said flatly, "No need for words. Let's see how strong you Windrunners really are.""You're courting death!" Zephara was furious.Gideon didn't even bother to explain. It wasn't just disrespect at that point. It was outright humiliation."Kill him!"In an instant, the storm descended. Winds from

    "As for mud-blood Barbarians, they're artificially created. Typically, newborn babies have their blood replaced with beast blood or their organs swapped with those of beasts—brutal methods like that. Those who survive become mud-blood Barbarians."There aren't many pure-blooded Barbarians. Most of them are mud-blood Barbarians."Something crossed Gideon's mind. He asked, "Is The Light Council's genetic engineering project related to the creation of mud-blood Barbarians?"Orabella nodded. "Actually, the genetic engineering project was originally inspired by mud-blood Barbarians. But the process of creating mud-blood Barbarians is too cruel. They replace blood and organs indiscriminately, and the success rate is extremely low."But if the genetic engineering project succeeds, it will be much safer. Right now, though, it's still in its early stages."Suddenly, the aircraft shook.Lysander reported through the communicator, "Entering a high-wind zone! Hold on tight!"Orabella's expr

    "Mr. Snow! We're approaching Asgard Plains!" Lysander's face lit up with joy.After five days of grueling travel, the exhaustion was stifling. Now that they were nearing their destination, it was a breath of fresh air.However, Orabella spoke up, "Not yet. We're headed for Bandit's Hollow, and there's still quite a distance to cover. If we run into any attacks along the way, it will delay us even more."Gideon had been to Asgard Plains a few times, but he had never gone deep inside. He wasn't very familiar with it.All he knew was that Asgard Plains was crawling with beasts. Countless powerful beasts roamed the land, which was why, despite its rich resources, no nations had ever attempted to take control of it. The risk of retaliation was too great.Those beasts couldn't be wiped out completely, and if they ever launched an attack on cities, it would be a catastrophe.While no country occupied Asgard Plains, they often came here to trade and gather resources. It was a common sigh

    "Alright, then," Gideon said.He contacted Ian, instructing him to notify Rhett and the others that they could lead the champions to Asgard Plains tomorrow.Orabella's eyes flickered. She anticipated that this trip would set off a massive storm."No matter what happens, even if the Pope himself gets involved, I must ensure that Gideon survives," she thought to herself as she watched Gideon's back, lost in her own thoughts.…The next day, the group boarded the aircraft.Lysander remained the pilot. Accompanying Gideon to Asgard Plains were only four people—Orabella, Umbra, and Winter.In addition, they brought along Brightbane Sect's leader, Draven, who they had taken from the eastern plains earlier. He wasn't particularly useful, but leaving him behind on Beaker Island wasn't an option either, so he had to come along.Asgard Plains was incredibly far from Dasovia, located on the other side of the world. The journey required crossing vast oceans and countless mountain ranges.

    Orabella was stunned when she heard Xena calling her "sis-in-law".Although she wasn't from here, she was fluent in multiple languages and naturally understood what that word meant."Hey, what's wrong?"Seeing Orabella staring blankly, Xena didn't quite understand but remained enthusiastic. "You're so beautiful and elegant. Your waist-length hair is so silky! What conditioner do you use? Can you recommend one to me?"Orabella snapped back to her senses. She coolly replied, "I'm not your sister-in-law. Don't go around making up family ties."Xena chuckled. In her eyes, Orabella was just being shy.Orabella quickly changed the subject. "Gideon is refining your fiancé's physique. In no time, his physical strength will skyrocket by several levels, far beyond that of ordinary people.""Really?""Of course. But I should warn you. You're in for some suffering.""Huh?" Xena didn't understand.But soon, something clicked in her mind, and her cheeks flushed red.Orabella's eyes gleame

    15 minutes later, Gideon arrived."Mr. Seymour! Mrs. Seymour!"He and Elara had long been divorced, so naturally, he couldn't call them "Mom" and "Dad".Marion sprang to her feet, closing the distance in a few strides, and snapped, "Gideon! Where the hell have you been these past few days? What did you do to Ella?""Mrs. Seymour, please calm down and listen to me.""I don't want to hear it! I only have one demand. Let me see Ella! No one can talk me out of it!"Arnold pulled Marion back slightly and said in a deep voice, "Gideon, I trusted you, which is why I let Ella go with you. But with no news for days, it's hard for me to keep holding on. Where is Ella now?""Mr. and Mrs. Seymour, Ella is receiving treatment overseas.""Overseas?"The couple was stunned.Then, Marion exploded with rage, grabbing Gideon by the collar. "You bastard! You sent Ella abroad and came back here yourself?""Mrs. Seymour, I've been abroad taking care of her this whole time. You kept demanding to
