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

    "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

    Gideon looked at Orabella with indifference and said, "Quit having your sights set on Elara!" "You think too highly of me." "What do you mean?" Gideon asked, but Orabella didn't respond. Instead, she turned away and left. Her hands, tucked inside her sleeves, had turned bluish, a sign of frostbite from the pure essence energy. Earlier, Orabella had indeed tried to use the Hellrend Severance Technique to seize Elara's pure essence core. However, she had not anticipated the strength of the core and nearly faced a backlash. Luckily, she stopped just in time, so only her hands ended up frostbitten.… A series of bombing sounds echoed at the entrance and exit.Cinque and Sei hurried over, furious at the sight. "You kids have a lot of guts coming to Bandit's Hollow to wreak havoc! Who gave you the audacity to do this?"As they spoke, a massive handprint struck toward them. Brantley glanced up, his eyes gleaming like lightning. He launched a punch. With a loud boom, the ha

    "We're almost there."Under the night sky, a massive winged beast raced through the air. On its back sat a man and a woman—Harmoni and Brantley."Harmoni, what exactly is this treasure you keep talking about?""Let's keep a little mystery. You'll know when we get there. But…" Harmoni's expression grew serious. "This treasure isn't going to be easy to obtain.""What do you mean?""Up ahead is Bandit's Hollow. The treasure is hidden within it. But Bandit's Hollow is home to seven fearsome hooligans. We are no match for them."Brantley smirked. "Then, why the hell are we even going?"Harmoni replied, "Talonclaw has some history with the leader of the seven hooligans. My grandfather once fought alongside him, so there's a bit of a connection."But my grandfather has long since passed. Our clan hasn't contacted him in years. I don't know if he'll honor my grandfather's memory and let us take the treasure."Brantley frowned. "If the treasure is in Bandit's Hollow, wouldn't they have

    As everyone knew, the Spirale Clan controlled highly advanced technological weaponry, a power that many coveted. Even the beast tribes kept a watchful eye on them, waiting for an opportunity.Once The Light Council and Gideon's forces launched their attack, chaos would inevitably follow. Various factions—including the beast tribes and those apex overbeasts—would all get involved, each seeking a share of the spoils.If word of this got out, it would shake nations across the world."This is big!""This isn't just any battle. It's an upheaval!""Gideon, Ms. Corthopp, you aren't messing with us, are you? You're seriously going after the Spirale Clan?"The seven hooligans suddenly felt that Gideon storming into Bandit's Hollow to humiliate them wasn't such a big deal.After all, he was now planning to attack the Spirale Clan.They could feel their perception of him shifting once again, elevating Gideon's status to an entirely new level.Orabella nodded. "Yes, we are. The Light Coun

    "Hm?" Pacino was taken aback.With a meaningful look, he asked, "Ms. Corthopp, what do you want to learn that for? The Hellrend Severance Technique is a vicious and sinister art. As a member of The Light Council, how could you study something like that?"Orabella smiled. "No technique is inherently good or evil. It all depends on how it's used."Pacino was no fool. Lowering his voice, he asked, "Ms. Corthopp, are you planning to strip Elara's pure-essence core?"She replied, "If the opportunity arises, I will.""For Gideon? Tsk! It seems Gideon holds quite a lot of weight in your heart." A strange smile spread across Pacino's face.Orabella asked again, "Mr. Albe, would you be willing to teach me? Consider it a favor. I'll repay you in the future."Pacino laughed and said, "Ms Corthopp, you hold a prestigious position in The Light Council. Having someone like you owe me a favor, that's a deal well worth making. I'll teach you the Hellrend Severance Technique right now.""I'd ap

    They had actually suffered a setback at the hands of some snot-nosed kid. If word got out, people would die laughing."How much farther are you planning to retreat?"At that moment, Gideon stopped in his tracks, took a deep breath to steady himself, and spoke in a detached tone, "Honestly, we're not even enemies. Ivo is dead. Why make an enemy of me for his sake?"Think about the consequences of crossing me. I could just leave Bandit's Hollow, but from that moment on, none of you would ever know peace again."Pacino's face darkened. "Are you threatening me?"Gideon shook his head. "I'm simply stating a fact. Making an enemy of me over a dead man is not a wise move."Besides, I have means of dealing an irreversible blow to you all. Initially, I intended to take you by surprise, but since I've already mentioned it, let me show you. Be careful!"Gideon waved his hand, and immediately, a mist began to spread.In an instant, the hooligans were horrified. They frantically retreated.

    "No!" Mea screamed hysterically.The broken blade was pulled out. Ivo's corpse collapsed to the ground like a pile of rotten flesh, making Mea dizzy, her vision going black."You're not dead! How is that possible?" Pacino was in disbelief.His aged eyes flashed with sharp light as he scrutinized Gideon, realizing that not only was Gideon alive, but his energy was still as powerful as ever, too.It was as if the past half hour inside that eerie mist hadn't affected him in the slightest.How could this be?Gideon sneered. "What? Disappointed? That mist is indeed strange, but unfortunately, it has no effect on me.""Impossible!" "Nothing is impossible. There's a lot you don't know." Gideon was full of mockery, but his face quickly turned cold. "Now, I'll give you a chance. Hand over Elara, and we can go our separate ways peacefully. Otherwise… suffer the consequences!"Pacino sneered. "Gideon, so what if you're still alive? Do you really think you can escape?""Pacino, kill him
