And this gesture earned Albert a sliver of goodwill.Babel spoke calmly, You don’t need to thank me. The Fourth Legion is also part of the Dragontooth Vein—I would never do anything to harm it.Isabel chimed in from the side, Who would’ve thought you could say something sensible, Babel?Babel shot her a glance. It’s not that I never talk sense. It’s that you’ve always held such a grudge against me that you never listen.Why should I listen to you? Isabel snorted haughtily.Babel’s eyelid twitched slightly. In the end, he fell silent and took a seat at the stone table. He had known Isabel for years, and he knew just how fierce her young lady’s temper could be.Babel, for this joint mission, the four legions will take Albert as their leader. Let me make this clear—the Fourth Legion no longer dominates the four legions like it used to.Isabel was not about to let him off, pressing him further.Babel’s eyes lowered slightly. The four legions are independent. We only need to cooperate to c

Angel’s expression turned bitter as she said,Several years ago, she went to the Dark Region for training and was injured by evil creatures. Her foundation was ruined, and her strength has progressed slowly for years. Her once-glorious reputation as a genius has become a burden. Many who envied her talent now call her trash, saying she wasted the resources the clan poured into her.Albert’s lips parted slightly.A once-great genius reduced to a useless cripple.He knew this story all too well.This clans-sister of his was probably not simple.Naturally, Albert agreed to Angel’s request without hesitation. When he reached the Westling Realm, he was quite interested in meeting this sister of his.After that, Albert rested for another day before heading to the square.When he arrived, many team members who passed by bowed respectfully to him, their eyes filled with admiration.In the few short months Albert had taken charge of the First Courtyard, it had undergone a complete transformati

His golden soul body had been completed. Next, he would use the Nine-Aperture Gold Stone as a medium to attempt advancing into the Light Soul Body, the third realm of the Soul Body stage!After such a long period of accumulation, Albert was undoubtedly about to reach the heavens in a single step.Three days later.Albert’s breakthrough finally came to an end.In the cultivation chamber, Albert opened his eyes. The vast soul power surging around him gradually receded, eventually fully withdrawing into his body.Albert lowered his head, stretched out both palms, and circulated his soul power simultaneously.Golden light flowed within his flesh and blood, dyeing his skin a pale gold hue, giving him an air of invincibility.Moreover, as Albert continued to channel his soul power, the golden light grew increasingly dense, until faint light patterns began to appear.These light patterns were crystal clear, flowing through his flesh, blood, and bones.Albert stared at the patterns, a faint s

He then looked at Albert and asked, Are you willing to go retrieve the Flame Infant Saint Fruit for Joseph?Upon hearing this, Albert could not help but heave a stirring sigh.With a single sentence, Thomas had not only allowed him to take the First Institute on a mission openly and legitimately, but had even found him three allies.In that moment, he grasped a simple yet profound truth.In this world, no matter how strong your fist is, it cannot compare to a powerful background.On the day after the small gathering in the Bamboo Garden, Albert felt his state was perfect and complete, so he hesitated no longer and prepared to begin refining the Profound Yellow Dragon Aura.Inside the cultivation chamber at the top floor of Albert’s residence.He sat cross-legged on the central stone platform. Before him floated five jade vials, each containing a wisp of golden Profound Yellow Dragon Aura flowing gently.Albert stared at the vials, his expression slightly solemn. Then, with a thought,

He wasn’t really that interested in the Dragon Head title. After all, he cared more about tangible benefits. But if winning the position of Dragon Head was the only way to claim the Nine-Pattern Sacred Heart Lotus, then he would just have to oblige.I only wanted to develop quietly, but you’re forcing me to become the Dragon Head.Thomas greatly admired Albert’s courage to face any battle. Their Dragon Fang Clan was famous for its offensive prowess, and what they needed was exactly this kind of spirit—fearless against strong enemies, unwilling to admit defeat. Oddballs like Dale were, after all, extremely rare.Thomas thought for a moment and said,Since you have this confidence, then first try to seize the Dragon Head. If you fail by then, I will obtain the Nine-Pattern Sacred Heart Lotus through other means. I’ll just pay a higher price if I have to.He knew the lotus was extremely important to Albert. So even if Albert did not become the Dragon Head in the end, he had no intention

This type of Light Soul Physique produces a protective profound light with two or three colors, which is why it is also known as the Three‑Light Glazed Layer.Thomas pointed at the Nine‑Aperture Gold Stone inside the purple jade box and said slowly,My request for you is that you must cultivate the Three‑Light Glazed Layer.Albert was not surprised; he only let out a helpless, bitter smile.He should have known.Still, Grandfather’s expectations of him were far too high.The Three‑Light Glazed Layer would be an immense challenge.Well? Do you have the confidence? the old man asked with a smile.Albert paused for a moment and asked,What benefits does the Three‑Light Glazed Layer bring?Back in the Newhurst Empire, there had been no such concept as the Three‑Light Glazed Layer.There, anyone who could form a Light Soul Physique was already considered a prodigy among their peers. Few cared how many colors the glazed protective profound light had.Perhaps the conditions for the Three‑Lig

The young woman said, Mom, I’ve been with Obed for several years. I know what kind of person he is. If he says he’ll do something, he’ll definitely do it.Damn Obed, the middle-aged woman snapped furiously. Let me tell you, Verna, your dad, your brother, and I will never allow you to marry him. If you still consider us your family, abort the baby and break up with Obed for good. But if you dare leave this house today, the three of us will cut all ties with you. From now on, you’re dead to us!The middle-aged man said coldly, You heard your mother. What she says goes for your brother and me too. Think carefully before you walk out that door. Once you leave, don’t ever come back!The young woman cried, Dad, Mom, are you trying to drive me to my death? Even if you don’t care about me, can’t you care about the baby in my belly?The young man said, Sis, why are you being such a mother hen? You’re only two months pregnant. That’s not even a baby yet—it’s just a fertilized egg!Mia sighed at

Yeah, Mia said. The family couldn’t afford a bigger place, so she and her brother shared a room when they were little. Later, she went to school in another city. By the time she graduated from college, her brother was already a grown man, and they couldn’t share a room anymore. So my classmate came to Plass City to work and rented a place here.She sighed. Today’s her wedding day, and by tradition, she has to leave from her parents’ home. That’s why she came back last night.Alan nodded slightly. Back in the day, when someone married off their daughter in a neighborhood, they’d at least put up an archway at the gate. Why didn’t your classmate’s family do anything?Mia said helplessly: Her family doesn’t want her to marry the guy because he won’t pay the bride price. But she’s pregnant, right? So she has no other choice. I heard her family is furious and won’t even acknowledge her. They said when she gets married today, the whole family won’t go—she can leave by herself if she wants.A

She had been forced to go with Gaisley, only to be dumped by him and passed on to Baldwin.Being with Baldwin was bad enough, but while she was with him, she had gained nothing at all. Instead, she had been made to lick a whole row of urinals at the Splendid Club alongside him. That incident had completely destroyed her reputation in Plass City.Now she was nothing but a laughingstock in the city, talked about and sneered at behind her back by countless people.Tasha believed all of this was her cousin Mia’s fault!So she wanted to see Mia fall harder than anyone else.Suddenly, a vicious plan formed in her mind. She said:Grandma, I have a great idea. If we pull it off, Mr. Sanderson will surely be very pleased—he might even reward us greatly.The Mill matriarch hurried to ask:What plan? Speak quickly!Tasha’s face turned cold as she said viciously:Isn’t Mia the one Alan loves the most? And it seems they still haven’t consummated their marriage. In other words, Mia is still a virgi

Carlson felt as if he had been dealt one heavy blow after another.He stared dumbfounded and said: How the hell did that loser Alan get his hands on such an expensive car? And not just one—he actually has two!Jared’s face was also dark: Alan must be out scamming people again! I just don’t get it—did all the rich people in Plass City get kicked in the head? Why the hell do they all trust this loser?!Carlson was also miserable and snapped angrily: I’ve been waiting for that bastard Alan to crash and burn, but he’s still doing fine!Tasha’s eyes reddened as she said miserably: If it weren’t for Alan, Brother Saul and I would’ve gotten married long ago. Our family wouldn’t be in such a mess, and Mom wouldn’t have been sent to that black coal mine to suffer so much.Jared snapped angrily: Don’t mention that wretched woman!Just then, the Mill matriarch watched as Alan and Mia pulled up in the strange‑looking car. She stepped up to the driver’s door, looked at Alan inside, and said arroga

Jared was always incompetent, and Carlson was even worse—asking him to find ways to make money for the company was next to impossible.He’d been with the Mill Group for several years, yet had not completed a single business deal. He was utterly useless.As for Tasha, there was nothing to say. After graduating from college, she did nothing but idle around all day.When she first dated Saul, she did nothing but spend money. After breaking up with Saul, she went with Gethry, then Baldwin. Now she not only had no business skills at all, but her reputation was completely ruined. She was completely unreliable.But the Mill matriarch was getting old; she couldn’t do everything herself anymore, and her strength was failing. Under these circumstances, she increasingly realized that Mia—the granddaughter she had always looked down on—was actually the most capable person in the entire Mill family.So even though she had come to taunt Ivy, her real goal was to use her overwhelming advantage to ma

So the matriarch was convinced that Allen’s family could barely afford to live in Tomson Yipin, and when it came to real wealth, they were no match for her now.She had once swallowed her pride and begged them to come back when the family needed them, making a complete fool of herself. Yet they’d looked down on her and flatly refused to return to the Mill family. Now that the Mill family had weathered the storm, it was high time to get all that lost face back!The Bentley Continental pulled up in front of Allen’s villa. Carlson glanced at the matriarch beside him and asked: Grandma, shall I go knock on the door?No need. The Mill matriarch sneered: Honk the horn and get Ivy out here.Jared looked up and spotted more than twenty green hats hanging on Ivy’s balcony. He snapped in a rage: That bastard Ivy! She’s obsessed with hanging those green hats out. It’s been days, and she still won’t take them down. Damn her!The Mill matriarch said coolly: If she wants to hang them, let her. They
