Chapter: 428:Bait"Trying to do what I'm supposed to do, of course," Alex rolled his eyes, trying to get past Avery who had blocked him."What the heck do you think you're doing? He has helped us countless times, and yet, this is what you want to pay him with? Are you out of your senses?" Avery's expression darkened, blocking Alex fully.One who didn't hear their discussion fully would think Alex really wanted to assassinate Eric."How dumb are you? This is the best time to get rid of him. Haven't you seen the bounty?" Alex frowned slightly, raising his voice, a hint of annoyance could be felt within it."And how's that my business, I won't let you do anything to him," Avery scowled, also raising her voice, at the same time unsheathing her Katana, ready to face Alex."Move aside, he's an easy target right now, it won't be bad if we just finish him off," Alex spoke again, trying to convince his twin, clearly unwilling to fight her."Stop talking, I won't allow you to do anything to him. And if you must,

Chapter: 427Plan"Sir," The twins smiled bitterly after stabilizing themselves, shame washed over them as they couldn't meet Eric's gaze.They were defeated under three moves by the other party. But then, they would want to blame him on the fact the other party used poison.Again, according to a law, all is fair in love and war, so they were still at fault.If it were not for the fact they had attacked suddenly, it was clear they wouldn't have been able to land even a blow.And that was shameful to hear."So have you learnt your lesson?" Eric raised his brows, staring at the twins."Yes sir," The two nodded, recalling all that had happened.They had made quite a few mistakes and they were sure Eric must have realized it, but he didn't tell them because he wanted them to learn the hard way.One of the mistakes they made was not understanding the nature of the attack of the other party.Though they could argue they just met her and there was no chance to investigate.

Chapter: 426:Greenhorn"Sure," Eric agreed almost immediately, taking a plate of food from the lady."And you two?" The lady turned to the twins, brows raised as she seemed to scrutinize them."Nah, we're good," Alex refused, frowning slightly, feeling as though something was off, but he didn't say anything."Alright then," The lady nodded, her smile gentle as she placed back the food on the trolley.But just as she turned away from them, a sinister smile spread out on her face before it vanished almost immediately before walking into the inner compartments."Don't you think that lady was weird?" Alex turned to his twin, his expression unsettling, his mind replaying the scene over and over trying to find what was wrong."Yeah, she gave off a kind of dangerous aura, and I can't seem to fathom what it is," Avery agreed, eyes also squinting as she thought about it."Sir? Don't you find anything strange with that lady?" Alex couldn't finally hold back and turned to Eric who was devouring the food."Of course, t

Chapter: 425:The Train(Hours Later)"Sir, where are we heading to?" Alex asked as they walked out of the hotel, the hotel staff blinked, staring at them, wondering when they had walked back in.Well, they had no idea as they all thought maybe it was their colleagues there that morning that saw them."We headed to the train station," Eric answered, flagging down a taxi making the twins wonder where they were heading to.It was already nighttime, and they were sure Eric didn't know any place in Oakdale,so where did he want to go?"I heard there's a beach in a certain part of Oakdale, so that's where we'll be going, Eric continued after a while."Beach?" The twins froze, still not believing their ears. There was no way they were going for a vacation right? But then thinking about it, that seemed to be the case. Eric had given the old man five days to reconsider meaning they had five days to waste.That was just perfect. They could finally relax.They had been busy for quite a while and were only going to ge

Chapter: 424Let Me SleepInside the Harrison Family main gate, the void slashed open and Eric alongside the twins stepped out of it, back into the Array.But this time, the Array didn't attack them as Eric had suppressed it, so they walked out of the gate without any problems."Sir, are we heading back to the hotel?" Alex asked, turning to Eric, wondering where their next destination was."There's quite a lot of things to do, but I actually feel like sleeping first," Eric yawned and then grabbed the twins disappearing from the spot.The next moment, they reappeared in Eric's hotel room. The twins smiled and shook their heads, just as expected, Eric was really unconventional."There are some killers aiming to silence the three of us," Eric broke the silence, calling the attention of the two."They haven't yet latched onto our location for the time being," He continued, yawning as he strolled towards the bed."I want to sleep, before I wake up, get all the information of the killers who have recently entered Oa

Chapter: 423: Five DaysThe three elders frowned slightly, wondering why their ancestor had finally silent the moment he saw the content of the book.What could be so good that shut him down? Though they were curious, they didn't move closer and could only watch from where they were.After a while, the old man finally finished reading the book, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at Eric."How did you know I needed this?" He finally asked after a long moment of silence."Ain't that simple?" Eric clicked his tongue, staring back at the old man as though what he had just done was a normal thing."I'm far stronger than you are, so why are you shocked?"The three men behind froze hearing this as they couldn't believe their ears. This young man before them was stronger than their ancestor?Was that really the case or was he just bluffing? But then the expression on their ancestor's face said otherwise which didn't make it seem like he was lying."So what do you say now?" Eric continued, pushing the matter forward.Af

Chapter: 591: The Moment Everything BreaksThe moment those two Unity Dao experts stepped forward and openly mocked Kai, the rest of the invaders couldn’t hold it in anymore, their laughter spreading across the battlefield like wildfire, loud, confident, and completely unrestrained as they watched what they believed was a foolish display unfold before them.To them, everything Kai had done so far was nothing more than empty movement, meaningless strikes that carried no real threat, and now that he had been directly challenged, they expected nothing more than another round of disappointment.Even from the side, the other old men who had refused to follow Kai earlier couldn’t help but grin, their expressions filled with quiet satisfaction as they watched, one of them even shaking his head slightly as he spoke under his breath.“We were right not to follow him,” he said calmly.Another nodded faintly. “He talks big, but this is the result.”Their sect members, who had retreated earlier, also began to relax slightly, some of them

Chapter: 590: The Calm Before RuinThe moment Kai’s Helberd struck and nothing seemed to happen, the battlefield froze in a way that felt unnatural, like even the wind had paused to watch, and for a brief second, everyone questioned what they had just seen, their minds refusing to accept such a strange outcome.An attack had landed cleanly, perfectly even, yet there was no explosion, no visible injury or immediate effect, and that alone made it feel wrong.“What was that?” one of the old men muttered under his breath, his eyes narrowing as he tried to understand what had just happened.Another frowned deeply, his voice low but filled with doubt. “Did it miss… or was that intentional?”From the other side, the invaders didn’t even bother hiding their amusement, their expressions quickly shifting from brief confusion to outright mockery as laughter spread among them, light at first, then louder, as if Kai had just performed something ridiculous for their entertainment.“That’s it?” one of them said, shaking his head slow

Chapter: 589: The Hidden BladeKai’s lips curved the moment he saw Allen move, not just move, but commit fully, dragging his sect into the fight without hesitation, and in that instant, the loose threads of the battlefield tightened into something he could finally control. It wasn’t perfect, not even close, and it certainly wasn’t how he originally planned it, but it was enough, more than enough to create the opening he needed.“Good,” he muttered under his breath.His eyes flicked briefly toward Allen, studying him again for just a second, and though he didn’t show it openly, there was a trace of approval in his gaze. The old man hadn’t understood everything, there was no way he had seen the full structure of Kai’s plan, because if he had, he would have coordinated with the others instead of acting alone, but even so, his instincts had pushed him in the right direction.“He’s not blind,” Kai thought.Reckless?Maybe.But not useless.And right now, that was more than enough.The battlefield was shifting fast, Tr

Chapter: 588: Shift in the FlowThe moment Abigail’s words landed and the Unity Dao expert charged with full force, the entire battlefield shifted in a way no one had expected, and for a brief second, it felt like everything had gone completely out of control. The old men who had just been preparing themselves felt their hearts tighten instantly, their expressions changing as they watched the scene unfold, confusion and disbelief mixing together as they tried to understand what exactly they were looking at.“What is this…” one of them muttered under his breath, his brows furrowing deeply.Another stepped back slightly, his voice tense, “Why would they provoke him like that?”From their perspective, it made no sense at all. The opponent was clearly far stronger, clearly more dangerous, and yet instead of trying to stall or defend carefully, the girls had chosen to insult him further, pushing him into a state where he would attack without restraint, and that alone was enough to make even experienced cultivators uneas

Chapter: 587: The OpeningThe moment Kai gave that order, sending Abigail and Emily forward without hesitation, the reaction from the old men was immediate and explosive, their restraint from earlier snapping as anger surged through them, not because they were afraid of the enemy, but because they couldn’t understand what Kai was thinking.“Have you lost your mind?” one of them snapped, his aura flaring as he turned toward Kai, his voice filled with disbelief. “You want to send them to face that thing?”Another stepped forward, his brows furrowed deeply, “Are you trying to get them killed? Or are you planning to sacrifice them for your own plan?”The accusations came one after another, their pride already bruised from taking orders earlier, and now this, this made even less sense to them, because from their perspective, sending people weaker than the opponent forward was nothing short of suicide, especially when facing someone at the Unity Dao Realm.Allen frowned as well, though his reaction was quieter, more

Chapter: 586: Divide and BreakKai stood there for a brief moment after issuing the first set of instructions, his eyes moving across the ten figures again, not hurried or panicked, but thinking, calculating and breaking down what stood before him into something manageable. The pressure from the eight Unity Dao experts was still heavy, pressing against everyone present, but Kai didn’t let that distract him, instead he focused on the structure of their formation, how they stood, how they reacted, and more importantly, how confident they were.Then he pointed not randomly but directly at two of the old men beside him.“You two,” he said calmly, “take one of the Spirit Severing ones.”For a moment, there was silence.Then immediate displeasure.“What?” one of them snapped, his brows furrowing deeply. “Why should...”“We are in the same realm,” another added, clearly irritated. “Why should two of us face one?”The pride in their voices was obvious, and honestly, under normal circumstances, they wouldn’t even consider

Chapter: Chapter 12“Hey...wait up!” Scarlett shouted, jogging after Rain who had already stepped out of the sect gate.He didn’t look back.“Do you even know how much a horse costs?” she yelled louder, trying to match his pace. “It’s over a hundred gold coins for just one! Are you sure you can even afford it?”Rain didn’t slow down. “Let’s go. You’ll find out when we get there.”Scarlett groaned. “Ugh! Are you some kind of rich young master or what?”No answer.As expected, Rain's responses were cold, short, and stiff. But Scarlett wasn’t about to give up. He was the only one who talked to her aside from a few elders and the Sect Master. She wasn’t letting that go.After all, her reputation had turned her into a plague.She wasn’t born cursed. In fact, her body constitution was considered one in ten thousand, legendary, desirable even. But the moment the truth came out, it ruined her.Her Yin Body wasn’t ordinary.Anyone who cultivated with her would have their energy drained to the point of death. One

Didn’t trust people who filled silence just because they couldn’t stand it. And if he had any better options, he wouldn’t have picked her but she was the only one who asked, and that said something.They reached the counter where an elder sat hunched, all beard and wrinkles and a face that looked carved from old stone. The man barely looked up.“I’d like to accept this mission,” Rain said, placing the scroll on the table.The elder’s voice was gravel. “You got a teammate?”Rain nodded toward

Chapter: CHAPTER 9Rain soon arrived at his small apartment inside the sect.He pushed open the creaky wooden door, and a familiar wave of dust and stale air greeted him. The room was dim, the window barely allowing any light in, and the floor was cluttered with scrolls, broken bowls, and torn fabric. Still, he didn't spare it a second glance.None of that mattered now.Now was the time to turn this broken, mocked body into something terrifying.Dragging an enormous iron bath bowl from the toilet, Rain placed it near the center of the room. He moved with sharp, deliberate efficiency. Then, he lit a fire beneath the bowl, boiling a pot of water until the steam rose in thick clouds, curling into the ceiling like ghostly snakes.He stared at it.“This is just literally cooking myself alive,” he muttered, but his voice held no humor.Without hesitation, he picked up the large bag of dried herbs he’d purchased and dumped it into the boiling water. A thick hiss followed. Then came the small pouch, the one Jas

Chapter: CHAPTER 8Hearing the voice, Rain stopped in his tracks and turned, coming face to face with a figure about the same age. Behind him were two other chubby fools, clearly his lackeys. His gaze dropped to their robes and lingered on the emblem marked boldly on their chest.Wasn’t that the crest of the Pure Yang Sect? The rivals of the Glory Dome Sect?Rain narrowed his eyes.The rivalry between both sects was no secret. One specialized in dual cultivation. The other... Pure Yang was an all-male sect that trained under the Extreme Yang Technique, which turned its disciples into mindless, overbearing dogs.Their attacks were brutal and their words worse.To them, dual cultivation was a shortcut. Trash. Anyone who practiced it deserved no respect.Rain folded his arms, eyes cool. “What do you want?”“Hand over that sack of herbs and we might let you leave in one piece. You trash from a pig sect,” one of the fat boys sneered, stepping forward and reaching like he owned the world.From the distance, C

Rain barely caught the flicker before a figure landed on one knee before him, head bowed, movements smooth and reverent.“Young master,” came the low, respectful voice.Rain’s eyes narrowed.His posture remained calm, hands still behind his back, but every muscle in his body was alert.“You are?” His voice was neutral, but there was a steel edge behind it. No warmth or familiarity.The figure slowly raised his head.“It’s me, Chen.”The moment Rain saw the man’s face, something clicked. Another surge of foreign memories unraveled in his mind, flooding his awareness and his jaw tightened slightly.Chen.Bodyguard. Shadow. One of the most loyal blades of Rain’s father.Powerful, silent and obedient.Always watching.He had no idea what realm Chen had reached but even in his fragmented memories, Chen’s presence had always radiated

Chapter: EPILOGUE. Wow. She was really getting a divorce. "Thank you." She mused, unable to look him straight in the face because she didn't want him to see the tears that clouded her eyes.Damon stood up and went closer to her before he sat down again, "I know I wasn't the best partner to you, I keep secrets but I did everything with your safety in mind Athena but still, I'm sorry and I want you to know that if you give me another chance in your life I'll be a better partner than I was when we faked our marriage." He stated and Athena shot her head up. "Wait, what? What are you talking about?" She asked in shock as she blinked back her tears."I'm not asking you to marry me but I want us to be in a relationship, and get to know each other before we walk down the aisle. If you don't like our relationship then you're free to walk out, I promise I'll not force you."

Chapter: Chapter 218."So everything between you guys was faked?" Damon's mother asked in astonishment as Athena finished narrating everything to her. Damon sighed, he wasn't expecting his mother to find out this way. He wasn't even expecting Athena to ask for a divorce in this manner."Yes, Mom, it was all planned, our marriage was just a mere contract. A part of our plan to get me into this house." Damon answered with a sigh. "Wow, this is very surprising, I actually thought there was something deep between you two." Mrs. Hector said and Athena just smiled.She wished what her mother-in-law said was true but everything between her and Damon was a lie and now that everything was over, it was high time they ended everything. It was for the best. "Well, I don't have a say in what you two choose to do because you are all adults but don't you think you both make a compatible couple?" She asked and Damon cocked his brow. Great, here comes another pressure."Don't get me wrong Damon, I know that expression.

His mother asked as he entered the house, tired and hungry."It was a blast mom, didn't you watch it on TV?" Damon asked as his mother kissed his forehead.That's his mom's little ritual, kissing him on the cheeks or the forehead. He had tried to stop the little tradition because it was weird and for the fact that he was now a Boss but the older woman would have nothing of such, so he was stuck with it. "Welcome Teddy, she didn't watch it on television and she forbids anyone from telling her, she wishes to hear the news from you," Artemis said with a smile and Damon just beamed."Okay, so mom..." Damon began, clearing his throat, "We didn't only win the case, Dad's name is cleared and his company now bears his name, we are cleared Mom, our family name has been vindicated." He added and his mom began to sob and hugged his son. "Gosh! Mom!! Do you always have to cry at the slightest things?" Artemis

Immediately the words left his mouth, and the guards swung into action and began to apprehend Frank, Mr. And Mrs. Carney along with the son-in-law.The chains that were used in chaining him were loosened and he stood up, blood dripping from his body. "What's the meaning of this?" Mr. Carney asked angrily as one of the guards held him firmly. The guards provided a towel and water to Damon and he used it to wipe off his face. When he was done, he was feeling pain all over his body but it was definitely worth it. "Nothing, father-in-law, nothing much, all I did was just play a game, just like you had played with my father, though it was one hell of a painful game, the reward was worth it," Damon said, tearing off his blood-soaked cloth and taking another one provided by one of the guards.
