Chapter 9

Author: Jason Chord
Silence fell as the room filled with an awkward tension.

Sporting an unpleasant expression, Matthew clutched the saucer without knowing whether to put it away or toss it in the trash.

"What kind of heinous trick did you pull to make the pattern disappear, Gideon?" Elara questioned in fury.

Scoffing, Gideon replied, "The pattern was made with a special kind of ink that is hard to remove, but it's possible to do so with the help of heat and alcohol. It's that simple."

However, Elara didn't let up. "How did you know it could disappear with the combination of heat and alcohol? I get the feeling that you wanted to ruin the saucer on purpose! Apologize to Matthew at once, or else, you'll have to pay for his loss!"

Gideon's expression turned grim. Why was Elara being so unreasonable and saying such ridiculous things? Was it simply because Matthew was her bosom friend?

Alas, those words sounded disgusting to his ears. He was repulsed by them.

At that very moment, Matthew chimed in with

    Eric was scared stiff. How did Gideon do it? How did he take down over a dozen men in the blink of an eye?While Eric stood there in a daze, Gideon slapped him so hard that he flew backward and lost a few teeth in the process. Both sides of his face were now swollen."You didn't learn your lesson back at the Snow residence, huh? The nerve of you to try and come after me. Do you think I'm a good-tempered man?" Gideon questioned, his expression frosty.Clenching his jaw, Eric roared, "Just you wait, Gideon! I'll cripple you today if it's the last thing I do!"As soon as he finished speaking, he attempted to run off. Amused, Gideon picked Eric up like a little rat and threw him against the floor. Instantly, his nose broke, making him howl in agony.Just then, there was a commotion in the hallway, and a group of men in black appeared. Gunnar Scarrow, the burly man in the lead, had a menacing scowl on his scarred face."I received a report from our customers that someone's causing

    "What did you say?"Arnold's face turned pale as he roared, "Gideon was crippled by Eric? How did this happen? Did you instigate it?"Feeling aggrieved, Elara protested, "Dad, it has nothing to do with me! Gideon was too arrogant. He hit Eric, so Eric brought a bunch of his men to the bar. I don't know what happened after that, but I'm sure Gideon didn't come out unscathed. He was probably crippled.""Why didn't you take Gideon with you when you ran? He's your husband! How could you leave him there to be beaten up and turned into a cripple? How could I have such a cold-blooded daughter?""Dad, I don't love Gideon, and he's not good enough for me. Stop calling him my husband. Now that he's crippled, I won't spend my life with a cripple. I'll divorce him immediately!""You insolent girl!"Arnold was so furious that he slapped Elara across the face.After striking her, Arnold regretted it instantly. He had never hit her before—not even once. This was the first time.Elara stood th

    "What did you say? You want to be my wife?" Gideon was a bit stunned, but immediately, his face clouded over.He felt like Simon had tricked him. That old man wanted to make him the Avila family's son-in-law. Was he asking to be taught a lesson?Meanwhile, Rachel was completely serious. She thought to herself that if marrying Gideon would solve the Avila family's crisis, then she was willing to make the sacrifice.Besides, she didn't think Gideon was as ordinary as he appeared. She knew how shrewd Simon was. If Simon valued Gideon enough to want her to marry him, it meant Gideon had some hidden power."Have you thought it over, Gideon? As long as you're fine with it, we can get our marriage certificate right now. I consider myself decent enough to be worthy of you," Rachel said earnestly.Amused, Gideon shook his head. "You're indeed beautiful and very capable, but unfortunately, I'm already married.""You're married?"Rachel was surprised. Did Simon know Gideon was married? And

    "I'm telling the truth!" Gideon declared."You still refuse to admit it, huh?" Marion rebuked in outrage. If not for Arnold holding her back, she would've slapped Gideon already."Who the hell do you think you are, Gideon? How dare you doubt Matthew? Apologize to him at once!" Elara demanded in fury.Despite being generally cool-headed, Gideon couldn't help but feel angry. Snorting, he shot back, "You're believing everything he says? You foolishly believe he received Rachel's recognition just because he says so? "Where's the evidence? Have him call Rachel up right now."Matthew's heart thumped nervously.However, Marion said in distaste, "You disgust me, Gideon. You're just stubbornly refusing to admit you're wrong. Since that's the case, Matthew, call Ms. Avila right now and prove it to him!"Matthew wanted to cry. He dared not call Rachel, of course—he'd be on cloud nine if he even managed to get her number!"Make the call, Matthew, so that we can shut him up and stop him fr

    Their mockery made Elara turn red, and she grew even more disgusted with Gideon.He was useless, but he still behaved so arrogantly! What an embarrassment he was!Elara was already regretting bringing Gideon along.Matthew laughed and said, "Since Mr. Snow here insists that someone will come to pick him up, let him be. We need to hurry because the visit to Beaker Island has a time limit."Everyone scurried off.Just as Gideon was about to make a phone call, it hit him—there was no one at the villa!Leopold had previously offered to arrange some household staff for him, but Gideon had declined. Now, there was really no one who could come to pick him up.Gideon cursed under his breath. He'd dug this hole for himself, so he had to see it through, no matter what.He called Leopold, and 15 minutes later, Leopold drove up in a rush."Get in the car, sir!""Sorry for troubling you," Gideon said."Please don't say that. It's my honor! Sir, why don't I arrange a few beautiful maids f

    "Gideon!" Elara screamed.Everyone, including Matthew, Lavinia, Benny, and Derek, was all stunned."What are you doing here?" Elara and Lavinia questioned in unison.The two women exchanged glances before asking each other, "You know him?"Elara replied, "Ms. Mosley, Gideon is… my husband, but only in name!""Your husband?" Lavinia was filled with doubt.Wasn't Gideon supposed to be unmarried? Why did he have a wife now?Elara asked, "Ms. Mosley, do you know him?"Lavinia thought for a moment. Not wanting Gideon to use her name to deceive others, she shook her head. "No. I don't know him."Elara breathed a sigh of relief."Gideon, what are you doing here? Ms. Mosley said this residence belongs to Mr. Zeller, the King of Battle! How dare you sneak in here? Do you have a death wish?" Elara angrily scolded him.Matthew and the others also erupted with righteous indignation, shouting, "Gideon, how dare you break into Mr. Zeller's house? Are you insane? You're done for!"Everyon

    "Come in. The door's unlocked."Dominic trembled slightly before carefully opening the door. As soon as he stepped into the villa, he spotted Gideon, who was sitting on the couch."Sir!"Dominic rushed over and gave a low bow of respect.If Lavinia, Elara, and the others had seen this, their jaws would've dropped.Glancing over at Dominic, Gideon asked, "Didn't you give this villa to me? Why did you come back? Have you changed your mind and decided to take it back?"Dominic shook his head fervently. "No, of course not, sir. You've misunderstood me. I came here to see you.""What for?""I'd like to head to Oasis Vale. I hope you can fulfill my request," Dominic beseeched with a solemn expression.Chuckling, Gideon asked, "Why do you want to head to Oasis Vale? You're good friends with Hercule, right? Do you want to visit him?""I'd like to move into Oasis Vale and train," Dominic replied.Gideon was startled. Dominic wanted to train at Oasis Vale? Did he get hit on the head

    Marion explained, "For some reason, Mr. Duran's people said we stole some of their business. They want us to apologize and make up for it.""Mom, Dad, we can't afford to offend Mr. Duran. Let's just apologize and compensate for it," Elara said grimly.Smiling bitterly, Arnold said, "Mr. Duran wants us to compensate him with ten million dollars. Where can we get that kind of money?""What? Ten million dollars? He might as well rob a bank!" Elara exclaimed in anger.Just then, she turned to Matthew and pleaded, "Matthew, can you help us?""That's right, Matthew," Marion chimed in. "You and Elara are the best of friends. Do help us. You can lend us ten million dollars first."Matthew's lips twitched. As it was, the Carters were in urgent need of money. He'd managed to gather a little over 20 million dollars by lying that Rachel thought highly of him, but he wasn't going to lend that money to anyone!That being said, he couldn't possibly reject the Seymours outright, so he assured

    "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

    Umbra's face was pale, and her energy was weak. She clearly suffered some kind of injury.Gideon immediately supported her and took her pulse, confirming his suspicion. "Don't move. Let me heal you first."He opened the small black jar, drawing out a stream of the giant fish's blood.It flowed into Umbra's body. Such a massive surge of energy caused her to suffer a violent impact, but with Gideon there, it wasn't a problem.Half an hour later, Umbra's complexion improved, and her condition stabilized."Thank you.""There's no need for that between us." Gideon then asked, "What happened? Did you get hurt while suppressing Elara's pure essence energy?"Umbra sighed and said apologetically, "I'm sorry. I failed to protect Ms. Seymour.""What?""The day before yesterday, a world-class champion infiltrated Beaker Island. I fought him, but I couldn't suppress him. He took Ms. Seymour."Finally, the pieces were falling into place for Gideon. The unease he had been feeling was becaus

    Sigric said, "Mr. Snow, let's be acquainted. Do me a favor. What do you say?""Do you think you're worthy of asking me for a favor?" Gideon's expression changed instantly.Not only was Alberto stunned, but even Sigric hadn't expected it. His face darkened.He was Sigric, Oriville's Overlord. Even the Dasovian king had met with him in person. When the imperial army went to the Oriville region to extract resources, they had to inform him first.And now, here came the brat Gideon, daring to humiliate and belittle him just because he had some strength.This was unacceptable."So, Gideon, you're determined to kill Alberto?""He who kills must be prepared to be killed. The moment he tried to kill me, he should have been ready for this outcome, shouldn't he?"Sigric laughed, throwing his head back. "Great! Amazing! Your people these days are terrifying!"Then, Sigric's energy surged, his long white hair whipping wildly. The seawater beneath his feet was split apart by his razor-sharp

    Under absolute power, everything turned to dust.Alberto's ultimate attack shattered completely. The force of Gideon's attack tore through everything and sent Alberto flying.Blood rained across the sky. Even the mountain beneath his feet was leveled.The shockwave tormented the injured warriors before, and some unlucky ones were instantly ripped apart by the energy."Gideon, you've gone too far!""What kind of nonsense is that? You came here with an army to kill me, and now, I'm not even allowed to fight back?" Gideon's face was full of mockery.Alberto was so furious that he coughed up blood. He had arrived with absolute confidence, never expecting to end up in such a pitiful and dangerous situation."Gideon, I admit that I was reckless. We can talk this out and settle the misunderstanding!""Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? I don't know what you're talking about.""Do you really want to fight to the death?""That depends. Do you even have the ability to pull that o

    "Okay, then." Gideon nodded.Alberto lit up with joy. He watched as Gideon pulled something from his robe and tossed it over. It radiated intense heat."What is this?" Alberto instinctively backed away, his expression wary.Gideon chuckled. "This is the core of the Solar Titan Physique technique. If you can't even withstand this little bit of heat, how do you expect to cultivate it?"Alberto found the reasoning sound. He gathered energy into his palm and reached for the flying object.With a whoosh, flames erupted instantly. A piercing scream echoed across the sky.Alberto plummeted, crashing onto the island.The Crosby family's fighters were all stunned. "Mr. Crosby!"Then, the flames died down.Alberto's entire hand was charred black, flesh torn apart, releasing a nauseating stench."Damn it!" Alberto gritted his teeth, voice dripping with murderous intent.Gideon sighed in mock regret. "Tsk, tsk… It looks like you won't be able to cultivate the Solar Titan Physique, after

    "Reporting to Mr. Crosby! Gideon's aircraft has entered the strike zone. Awaiting your orders.""What orders? Attack it! Empty every last round!""As you command, sir!"The next moment, a barrage of firepower tore through the sky.Lysander flinched and quickly maneuvered the aircraft to evade, but the coverage was too vast. There was no way to avoid it completely.The aircraft's defense system was activated, intercepting the incoming fire."Why are we running into another obstacle again? This is so annoying." Orabella was irritated."Mr. Snow!" Lysander shouted.The sheer density of the enemy's firepower was suffocating.Gideon pulled open the hatch. Glancing at the roiling sea below, then at the sky, he ordered, "There are thunder clouds up ahead. Fly straight into it!"With that, he threw a punch, clearing a direct path.Lysander pushed the aircraft's speed to the limit, charging straight into the thunderstorm."Do you think you can run? Open fire! Full barrage!" Alberto

    Jekyll reassured him, "Don't be so hasty. Betraying your clan is an unforgivable crime. No one likes that idea. But you and I have plenty to talk about."As he finished speaking, a subordinate brought over a clean robe.Tedric tore off the tree bark, scooped up water from a nearby lake to wash himself, and put on the robe."Let's go."He knew there was no escaping this. He had no choice but to accept his fate."After you." Jekyll was polite. Dressed differently, he could easily be mistaken for a scholar. His demeanor was refined and cultured.With a rumble, the Ninth Legion withdrew.…Not long after, Gideon and his group of four emerged from Beaumere, but the Ninth Legion was nowhere in sight.Lysander returned from scouting and reported, "Mr. Snow, based on the traces left behind, the Ninth Legion has retreated.""They left?" Gideon's eyes darkened.Jekyll was truly unfathomable. He didn't even attempt to suppress Rhett and his men.Lysander continued, "Mr. Snow, Dasovia'
