Chapter 611

Howard let out a sigh. "Shylah, how are you going to manage a household if you marry Lukas when you're so...detached?""Are you teasing me, Howard?" Shylah's cheeks tinged with a hint of pink."Work's important, sure, but life's more than that. You've got to invest a little more in living, you know?" Howard's smile was warm and encouraging. "You could take a page out of Nevaeh's book. She's got the work-life balance down to an art—effortless and graceful. Isn't that something?""Sir, I..." Shylah's voice was barely above a whisper."Hey, no need to freeze up. I don't swing by your neck of the woods often, so you owe me a decent meal, don't you think?" Howard's laughter cut through her hesitation.Shylah was exceptional in many ways, but she seemed almost too ethereal as if she was on the verge of transcending worldly concerns.She was more talkative with him, but around others, she was the epitome of an ice queen, barely uttering a word.When she did speak, it was usually with a

The woman was in her mid-twenties, with a radiant complexion and a slender figure. She wore a touch of makeup and carried herself with an undeniable elegance.She graced the room in a flowing green dress, her black coat trailing behind her. Waves of hair cascaded over one shoulder, complemented by the glint of an emerald necklace at her throat. She had the unmistakable air of high lineage.Trailing her was an older man, his presence exuding a seasoned strength that marked him as more than the average martial artist. Two burly bodyguards in black suits, faces set in stern lines, followed suit."Who's she? Do you know her?" Howard leaned in, curiosity piqued as he nudged Shylah.Truth be told, Shylah's own striking features and aura held their own against the newcomer. However, Shylah's taste for warrior's garb over gowns meant she blended into the background more than the lady in green."Sir, that's Selena Fabish, the Fabish family's pride and joy. She's Quintilian's very own renai

"I can't fathom what went down. Even if they rubbed someone the wrong way, wiping out her whole family is just... It's unthinkable!"Selena took a moment to compose herself before adding, "Shylah, there's more to this than meets the eye. Watch your back, okay? And ring me if you need an extra pair of hands.""Thanks, Selena," Shylah acknowledged with a nod."Mr. Lincoln, Shylah, I'll leave you two for your meal," Selena said, addressing them both."One of these days, I'll have to treat you to a bite. Hope you'll join me.""Sure thing, go handle your business," Shylah nodded once more."Mr. Lincoln, take care," Selena bid Howard goodbye and made her exit.Soon after, Howard and Shylah's food arrived at the table."Sir, don't tell me Selena's smitten with you just from one glance?" Shylah said earnestly after she poured Howard a half cup of coffee. "I've noticed she's got a certain...something in her gaze when she looks at you."Howard picked up a fork and lightly tapped her for

"Let's check it out." Howard's brow creased as he rose and headed for the stairs, Shylah right on his heels.Meanwhile, just a short distance from the third-floor staircase, a tense standoff was unfolding between two factions: Selena's group and the Blood Leopard's crew.Selena and her close-guard were both nursing injuries, the marks of a recent skirmish. Two other men, dressed in black, lay still on the ground, barely hanging on to life. It seemed unlikely they would last much longer."Ms. Fabish, what's it going to be? Made up your mind yet?" Blood Leopard eyed Selena with a mix of impatience and amusement. "I'd suggest you come quietly with me. Otherwise, it'd be a real shame if my friends here accidentally marred that pretty face of yours.""Blood Leopard, you lowlife, do you have any idea what you're getting yourself into?" Selena's bodyguard glared at him, his voice thick with anger. "Do you really think the Fabish family is a pushover?""Oh, I'm shaking in my boots!" Blood

"Selena, what's the deal here?" Shylah had reached Selena's side."That jerk Kylo is trying to bully me into signing some transfer agreement. I said no, so he sent Blood Leopard and his goons to drag me to a meeting with him," Selena explained."Transfer agreement?" Shylah raised an eyebrow in surprise."The Waker family has been drooling over a shipping business our Fabish family owns. They've been pushing for a buyout, but we're not selling," Selena clarified."Shylah, this is none of the Shadow Sect's business. I'd advise you to stay out of it," Blood Leopard said, his voice steady after a deep breath."And who are these guys?" Shylah gestured toward the two young men."Lord Shylah, they're the Cold-faced Twin Devils, A-Class Fugitives from your own Shadow Sect," Izel chimed in, picking himself up off the ground.Shylah's brow furrowed at that.The sound of heavy breathing filled the air.Hearing that, the two grim enforcers bolted for the stairwell.The Shadow Sect had sp

"What... What?" Blood Leopard's eyes widened in shock before he vehemently shook his head. "No...never heard of it..."A heavy sigh escaped him.The big boss of the shady underworld had been so rattled by Howard's strike that his thoughts were a jumbled mess.Still, how could he, the top dog of Quintilian's criminal world, not know about the Canfield family's big scandal? His denial was as good as an admission of guilt.Howard's hand sent a slicing gust of wind that cut across Blood Leopard's shoulder like a knife's edge.A heavy thud followed as an arm, cleanly severed, dropped to the ground, blood gushing out in torrents."Ah!" Blood Leopard's scream pierced the air.His crew, witnessing the horror, shuddered and scrambled back several meters."Tell me everything you know, and maybe, just maybe, you'll save your own skin," Howard said, closing the distance with a calm stride.He had merely thrown out a question to probe, but it turned out the man actually knew something."I

"Thank you, Master Howard!" Izel bowed deeply in gratitude."It's all good," Howard replied with a smile, then turned to Selena. "Ms. Fabish, I'd appreciate it if you kept today's events under wraps for the time being.""You have my word. Not a peep from me!" Selena declared."Thanks," Howard said with a nod.Kaison was quick on his feet. In no time, he showed up at the stairwell with a crew of ten from the Shadow Sect."Take these folks back and make sure they stay out of touch with the outside world," Howard ordered, gesturing toward Blood Leopard's gang."Consider it done!" Kaison from the state gave a firm nod."Shylah, we're out," said Howard. They both made a beeline for the stairs, Shylah right on his heels.Blood Leopard's tip pointed them to a motel in the Quintilian suburbs, a stone's throw from where Howard and his company had their meal.As they made their way, back at the motel, a man in his forties lounged on a couch, leisurely puffing away at his cigarette.A w

"What the—?" The four men shook their feet.Howard and Shylah then stepped through the wreckage."Monsters!" Shylah's voice thundered as she saw the woman on the couch."Look what we have here; it's another knockout!" The ponytailed man's surprise quickly turned into a leer as he advanced on Shylah, gulping."And who might you two be? Got a death wish?" The previously speaking man scowled, his brow furrowed.He was the toughest of the bunch, nearly a martial knight in skill. He could not get a read on Howard, but Shylah... She radiated danger."Sir, your orders?" Shylah glanced at Howard."Spare one. The rest? End them," Howard commanded, ice in his voice.Shylah had been itching to move. At Howard's command, her curved blade sang through the air."You filthy—" The ponytailed man's insult was cut short as the blade sliced through him.Thump!He tried to speak, but no words came. He fell, his body convulsing briefly before going still."Brother!""Big Bro!"The three men l

"Who hired you?"The man then said, "It was—"A sniper's bullet sliced through the silence, shattering the window and burrowing into the man's skull from behind. A blood spray burst from the man's head as he toppled over, dead before he hit the ground."Huh!?" Howard's brow creased in surprise. He had not anticipated a sniper and was caught off-guard."Son of a gun!" Shylah dashed to the window, scanning for the shooter, but came up empty.She paused, then turned to Howard, "Sir...""How did they know we were onto these guys?" Howard cut her off."Huh?" Shylah blinked, then caught on, "Sir, are you suggesting we've got a leak?""It's no coincidence they chose this exact moment to take him out." Howard's gaze sharpened as he gave a slight nod."This is a mess!" Shylah's frown deepened. "You think it was one of Selena's crew?""It might've been an inside job," Howard mused with a furrowed brow.Shylah exhaled sharply, frustration evident in her breath. She fished out her phone

After briefing Shylah and his companion, Howard headed to Black Blade's room."Marshal!" The medical attendant, bustling about the room, straightened up and saluted as Howard walked in."How's Black Blade doing?" Howard asked, giving a small nod."Marshal, that remedy you concocted is nothing short of magic. The bruise from that nasty hit has vanished from Black Blade's body," the attendant reported with a hint of awe. "Won't be long now. He'll be coming around any minute!""Good." Howard nodded and strode to the bedside.He checked Black Blade's body. After a couple of minutes, he pressed a hand to his chest, channeling a surge of core energy.A moment passed and Black Blade's brow twitched, his eyes fluttered open."Marshal?" he gasped, shocked to see Howard."Back with us?" Howard offered a slight, reassuring smile."Can't thank you enough, Marshal." Black Blade knew full well that Howard had snatched him from death's grip."That hit's been cleared from your system, but yo
