With a soft thud, Blood Rakshasa stood up from the couch and approached Howard, bowing respectfully."Young Master Howard, you've not only healed my wounds but also guided me to break through a new level in martial arts! I owe you more than I can ever repay. From now on, my life is yours. Whatever you ask of me, no matter how dangerous, I'm ready." Her eyes shone with profound thankfulness as she spoke.She had been on the brink, unsure if she would last much longer, let alone regain her cultivation base. However, in just under an hour, she felt her injuries mostly heal, and her power surged to a new cultivation base level.Advancing in the martial god level was notoriously tough, like trying to climb to the sky. Many warriors spent years without moving up even one level. Howard had not only saved her life; he propelled her forward in her training, too."Look at me when you speak," Howard said with a casual gesture. "You're not out of the woods yet. You'll need a bit more time. I'l

Howard had not figured out the perfect way to do it yet. It was going to take some serious creativity."Think it over, because if I'm not happy, I won't say 'I do'!" Talia said with a playful grin."Really? That's a tall order!""Have a little faith in yourself!""..."After a bit of banter, Howard pulled into the restaurant's parking lot.He casually took Talia's hand, and they made their way inside. They soon reached a private room on the second floor. Opening the door, they found two men and two women already there.The women were around Talia's age, both striking in their own right. Though not quite on Talia's level, they were undeniably gorgeous.The men were decked out in designer gear, exuding confidence with an air of arrogance that seemed to come naturally to them. Their eyes brightened at the sight of Talia, a spark of admiration flickering in their gaze."Talia, you're finally here! Come sit!" exclaimed the more curvaceous of the women."Sorry for the delay, we hit

"I bet there are loads of women who'd give up ten years of their lives for a single day with Brilliance Beyond."Talia grinned again. "You can't be serious?"After a brief pause, she turned back to Ava curiously. "Ava, we were having a good time. What made you think of Brilliance Beyond all of a sudden?""Oops, I totally spaced on what we were talking about!" Ava slapped her forehead, remembering."In just a few days, the glitzy Brilliance Beyond's third world tour would light up Mareno City. Hey, are you up for some fun at Mareno City?" she asked with a hint of excitement in her voice."I'll pass. You two have a blast," Talia replied, her smile not quite reaching her eyes."Don't be like that. It'll be a blast with all three of us together!" Ava chimed in, trying to sway her."Even if we can't get into the actual event, we can soak up the buzz right outside!" she added with a wink."Why can't we get in?" Talia's curiosity piqued. "Is it an invite-only kind of thing?""Exactly

"Do you now believe what I've been saying?" Howard asked, his voice calm and detached."We believe, we do..." They nodded incessantly."Stand here for three hours and think about what you've done," Howard commanded. "Next time I hear you've been throwing your weight around, the consequences will be far more severe."And keep my identity a secret from Talia and her friends. You know what to do, right?""Yes, of course!" They nodded vigorously once more."You two good-for-nothings, show some gratitude to the Marshal for letting you off the hook!" Diego barked."T... Thank you, Marshal, for your leniency..." They bowed deeply."What brings you here?" Howard turned away from them and addressed Diego."Sir, a criminal from beyond our borders has slipped through the eastern defenses, wounding more than thirty of our men," Diego reported with due respect. "We've been on his tail for three days and nights. Just half an hour ago, we got word he's holed up in this restaurant. We've got e

Seeing Talia, they felt an almost uncontrollable urge to leap at her.Tired of the usual dolled-up women they encountered, Talia's natural beauty was like a breath of fresh air. She irresistibly drew them in."We don't know you, and we'd like to keep it that way. Please leave us alone!" Ava spoke up, her voice firm and her brow furrowed in frustration."Knowing us isn't necessary. A drink together, and we're all friends," Yafe said with a sleazy grin, licking his lips."Keep it up, and we're calling the cops!" Tracy snapped, her patience wearing thin."Heh, you're gonna call the cops?" Yafe chuckled with a sneer. "What're you gonna tell them? That we invited you for a drink and you felt the need to dial 911?""Ava, Tracy, we're leaving!" Talia said, rising to her feet once more."Right!" Ava and Tracy stood up in unison."Hey, why the hurry, gorgeous? It's fate we met. Let's be friends," Yafe said, stepping forward to block Talia's path."Listen here. My husband will be here a
