"Got it!" Yoel nodded and said confidently, "Sir, you want me to step in, I'm on it!"He had known about Howard's call to station the Blood Shadow Force in the Eastern defense zone for a three-month stretch well in advance.To him, the task at hand was not the important part. What mattered was being there for the boss.Howard had laid out his plans, and Yoel was ready to go all in."Right," Howard said, taking a deep breath to steady himself. "We can't let the Eastern District go on like this. If we do, we're just asking for more trouble.""I'm with you," Yoel replied with a firm nod. "I'll follow your lead, Sir.""Sir, what's Ezra asking Mr. Louis about?" Dragon chimed in."Dragon, haven't you heard?" said The Judge, cracking a smile. "Mr. Louis is moving up in the world!""What's that supposed to mean?" Dragon asked with a hint of surprise in his voice."The brass is thinking of putting Mr. Louis in charge of the Eastern District!" said The Judge, smiling wider."For real!?

"I've told him to stick around for a couple more months. Once you and Yoel get the lay of the land, he can head back to Ciolara.""Got it!" Dragon nodded with a gravity that matched his words. "I'm at your command, Sir. Wherever you send me, I'll go.""Excellent!" Howard returned the nod and cast a glance at both Yoel and Dragon."You've made a promise, now pour everything you've got into it. You've got three months to flip the Eastern District's situation on its head!""And if Dragon's hundred thousand Blood Shadow troops aren't enough, feel free to pull in more from the Western Region!""Sir, you can count on us. We won't disappoint you," Yoel and Dragon said in unison."Mhm," Howard murmured, setting down his cup to give Yoel a thoughtful look."The official appointment might take a few more days to come through. Use this time wisely, and try to upgrade your level before you start the job!""Got it!" A fierce determination flashed in Yoel's eyes.…That morning, Howard got

Chapter 383

Those so-called noble families.They had lineages stretching back centuries, even millennia.Nonetheless, even the 'terrestrial titles' ranked families were a cut above someone's garden-variety rich and influential clans.In Mareno City, the Sabine family's power was unmatched. Even if someone lumped together the four top families, including the Browns, they would not have held a candle to the Sabines.In fact, those four families were pretty much the Sabines' underlings from the get-go.No one could argue that the noble families did not do their bit for Rackaham over the years. However, they had lost their way and got too big for their britches, thinking they were above everyone else. They only took and never gave, sucking the life out of the land without batting an eye.The worst part? Some of them were double-dealers, cozying up to enemies and betraying their own country—absolute scoundrels. Sure, not every one of the 11 noble families was rotten, but at least half of them wer

"You're comfortable with Talia managing a 7.5 billion empire? You're not worried she might tank the whole family biz?" Howard asked, a wry smile playing on his lips.He had not seen that move coming from Kenny. However, for Talia, that could be the big break she needed.She had the drive, and with a platform that size, she might just pull off something spectacular."Come on, Master Howard, cut it out," Kenny said, a half-smile flickering on his face. "It's just pocket change!""The whole Oceania Group is in your court. Just say the word, and I can make it all yours in a heartbeat."Besides, I've got faith in Ms. Jenkins's chops. She won't let Swanson Group crash and burn!""That's your empire, not mine. I only threw in a little cash," Howard replied, his smile undiminished. "Let me mull it over. I'll get back to you in three days."If the role of general manager at Swanson Group was the only position offered to Talia, she likely would not suspect a thing.Her work had always st

The following morning, Howard gave Kenny his approval to move forward with their plan.Kenny wasted no time and got straight to work.Time zipped by, and before they knew it, three days had gone by."Dad, Mr. Louis is snoozing over there again!"It was about five in the afternoon when Howard and Mystical Chubby were on their way to pick up Riley from school. As they neared the villa, Riley pointed out Yoel, dozing off in the same gazebo as before.Ever since Yoel was tapped to be the Eastern District marshal, Mystical Chubby had taken on the role of Howard's chauffeur. He was having the time of his life, delighting in every playful moment with Riley.Mystical Chubby chuckled. "Riley, Mr. Louis is honing his craft!""Honing his craft? What kind of craft? I want to learn too!" Riley's big eyes sparkled with curiosity."You want to learn? How about I teach you some other time?" Mystical Chubby offered with a grin."No way!" Riley shook her head emphatically. "You don't even know

"Thanks a bunch, Sir!" Yoel called out with a grin.After a quick wave to Mystical Chubby and Riley, he spun on his heel and took off."Hey Sir, when are you gonna show me the ropes so I can level up and join the big leagues?" asked Mystical Chubby as they strolled home."Your body's a bit unique, Chub. It's not gonna be a walk in the park for you," Howard replied."But don't sweat it. You'll do just as well as Yoel, if not better. If you're itching for a quick boost, head back to the sect. Mysterious Elder's got a trick or two that could skyrocket you to the top.""Nah, I'll pass. Who knows if I'd ever get out once I'm back there! I'm still having too much fun out here!""You're grown up. You can't just play all the time, you gotta buckle down," Riley chided, sounding wise beyond her years."Cough!" Mystical Chubby's lips quirked in a half-smile. "Loud and clear, Princess!"Riley's laughter peeled like bells in the air.It was about 5 p.m. when Howard's phone rang."Hey, lov

"Thanks, Mystical Chubby, but we'll pass for now. Maybe another time," Nance replied, her mouth twitching in a forced smile."Come on, my skincare is top-notch, you..." Mystical Chubby tried again."Mystical Chubby, why don't you head over to the food section and wait for us there?" Howard suggested, barely concealing his irritation.That guy always stops dead in his tracks at the sight of a pretty face!"Fine!" Mystical Chubby sulked and turned toward the buffet."Nance, this place is packed. And they're not all from our company, are they?" Talia inquired, puzzled."Take a closer look, Ms. Jenkins. Besides our own people, there are a few faces you might recognize," Yancy hinted."What do you mean?" Talia asked, scanning the crowd.Her eyes widened in surprise. "What's the Mendorra Rackaham investment team doing here?"Having worked closely with Mendorra as the marketing director for Swanson Group, she was well-acquainted with them."Ms. Jenkins, we're just as clueless. It's

"You should leave now, or else..." Nance warned, her brow furrowed.Smack!Montez's hand flew, cutting her off with a slap that left a red mark on her face.He had been itching for a fight, and Nance had just become his target."Ah!" Nance gasped.Howard, taken aback by the sudden violence, radiated a chilling fury."How dare you hit someone!?" Talia sat bolt upright, her voice filled with outrage. "You're such a jerk!""People need to learn their place," Montez retorted icily."Apologize," Howard's voice was a low growl."Look at the big shot here!" Montez scoffed with disdain. "What's that? Say it one more time—"Wham!Sent flying with a swift kick, Montez crashed to the ground, a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth."Seems you've got a death wish, talking trash in front of the big man. You must be sick of living!" Mystical Chubby said, nonchalantly munching on a slice of cake."Better crawl over here and say you're sorry if you want to keep breathing."Nance an

"Going to crawl over here and say you're sorry?" Mystical Chubby said, eyeing Montez as he licked the last crumbs from his fingers."You... Have you any idea who my uncle is? I promise you, you're not leaving here on your own two feet today!" Montez spat back, his pride wounded but not his resolve.He had a sneaking suspicion that Mystical Chubby's abilities surpassed those of a martial general, but he had his own ace up his sleeve. He was not intimidated by some martial general wannabe."Oh, you have a powerful uncle, do you? Well, enlighten me. Maybe your story will scare me," Mystical Chubby taunted with a smirk."My uncle is the district governor for the Special Patrol's Eastern District!" he proclaimed, scrambling to his feet and snatching a pile of napkins to dab away the blood on his forehead.His voice hardened as he continued, "Just because you've got a smattering of martial arts moves, don't get cocky thinking you're top dog. My uncle could squash you like a bug without

"Are my words not clear? I want you on your knees, now!"Kenny's voice was firm and commanding. He strode over to Howard and gave a respectful bow. "Master Howard, my apologies for the delay. I was caught up in a meeting. I hope you can forgive my lateness, Master Howard."The crowd gasped.Who was that man that commanded such deference from Mr. Carter? Even the elite few did not get such a reception!Nance and Yancy, standing off to the side, were utterly stunned.They knew Howard was no ordinary man when they met him before, but they never expected he would be so influential that even Mendorra's top dog would bow to him.It was beyond belief!"M—Mr. Carter, who... Who is this guy?" Montez's anxiety was mounting."Still haven't come to terms with it, huh?" Kenny's voice was laden with gravity."Didn't you say you were going to call your uncle? Go ahead, tell him you want Master Howard's wife to dance with you. I'd love to hear what he thinks about that!"Oh, and make sure yo
