All Chapters of Last Man Standing: Chapter 231 - Chapter 240

"Listen here, you hag, what do you think I'm here for? You haven't given me an answer about my kid's kindergarten spot!"Howard and the others recognized the voice as that of Nash Jacka, the gold chain-wearing man who had collided with their car."Your child... Your child just isn't a good fit for our school. I'm asking you, please, could you consider another school?" The woman, dressed neatly and obviously a teacher, pleaded.Two sharp slaps echoed again."Do you think I won't demolish your school if you push me too far, you hag?!" threatened Nash.Overhearing this, Howard turned to Talia. "Honey, why don't you take Riley to the playground for a bit? I'll call you when it's time.""Sure!" Talia agreed with a nod.She understood what Howard intended and did not want Riley exposed to such hostility."I'm asking you one last time, you hag. Are you going to process my kid's enrollment or not?" Nash pressed on, his voice seething with anger."Just... I'm begging you, please...find

"Roger that!" Yoel quickly texted the Judge.20 minutes later, Talia, Riley, and the rest emerged from the building, smiling and talking."Everything went smoothly, Talia?" Howard asked, a friendly grin on his face."Yep!" Talia's smile was a bright spot in the room as she nodded. "Mrs. Wheeler even spent some time playing with Riley!""Thanks so much, Principal!" Howard said, offering Bellona a warm smile."Oh, Mr. Lincoln, you're too kind. Riley is such a sweetheart, truly a delight," Bellona replied, her smile matching Howard's.Suddenly, the sound of chaotic footsteps thundered through the air.A moment later, a motley crew of about 50 men armed with knives and clubs stormed in, their demeanor menacing."Mr. Jacka, who's the blind idiot that crossed you? Just point them out, and I'll take care of them," the bald leader demanded as he approached Nash."Those two brats right there!" Nash pointed straight at Howard. "I want one of their arms chopped off first!""Got it!" The

"Elder Yacono, it's a pleasure to meet you. I can't thank you enough for looking after my brother all this time," Ximero greeted the man known as Hunter Yacono with genuine warmth."Please, there's no need for such formalities. Zane has become a part of our Red Crimson Sect, so we're all family now," Hunter replied, casually sipping his tea."Zane still has much to learn about our ways. I trust you'll guide him," Ximero added with a smile, feeling at ease. He had always kept tabs on Zane's well-being, and their occasional phone calls kept the brotherly bond strong.The Jacka family had their hands deep in the mining game, and rubbing shoulders with the big players meant that clashes were just part of the daily grind.Over the years, they had built up a solid crew, but the last six months had thrown them a real curveball in the form of a tough new rival.Every time they butted heads, the Jackas came out on the losing end, bleeding men and even forfeiting a mine, which had Ximero fu

"Nash!"The Ximero brothers' anguished shouts echoed in unison.Hunter and the rest, standing by, were equally stunned. They had not seen it coming—that someone would dare to cut down Nash right before their eyes."I'll make you pay. You're dead!" Ximero's eyes blazed with fury. "Get over here, now! Take them down!"The pounding of feet thundered like a drum roll as a horde of two to three hundred men, armed to the teeth with knives and clubs, stormed toward Howard and his companions.The leaders, radiating a formidable aura, were unmistakably warriors of the Martial Arts."You killed the young master. Now you'll pay!" The head man bellowed, his blade slicing through the air toward Howard."You have a death wish!" The Shadow Sect warriors intoned, their figures blurring into ten swift shadows darting into the fray.Their wrists flicked with lethal precision, the Cold Moon Saber tracing deadly arcs of silver light, cutting through the air.A chorus of screams erupted. One by on

Ximero slumped to the ground, suddenly looking decades older.He knew, without a doubt, that the Jacka family was done for.Meanwhile, Hunter, caught mid-charge, froze in terror. It hit him just how colossal his mistake had been.Core energy unleashed, killing without a trace, the power of at least a martial general—a whole level above his own.However, what truly shook him was the sight of the Cold Moon Saber's platinum handle in the Judge's grip.This was one of the Shadow Sect's legendary Five Blades.With no time to think further, he dropped to his knees."Please... I beg you, spare me! I have vital information for you, just... just spare my life..."Regret consumed him. Had he known he was facing the Shadow Sect, he would never have defended Zane, not for anything.The most crushing realization of all was who he then understood the Judge to be—Howard.In their lands, only one man could command the Shadow Sect.The King of the Western Region, the lord of the Shadow Sect,
