Blaine took a deep breath as if to calm the unusual throbbing of his body, before respectfully taking a step forward.“I’m here to see you again, Aunt.”“I told you many times, Blaine. I’m a monk now. You may call me Master Mograine.”The monk turned around before glancing at Blaine with an annoyed look. She was glaring fiercely, but her eyes were still a captivating gaze.Blaine smiled.“You’ll always be my aunt. It doesn’t matter if you’re a monk or not. This place is yours to stay for as long as you want.Master Morgraine chuckled, then rubbed Blaine’s head.“It’s been a while since you came here. Is something troubling you?”“Not only are you one of the four elders of the Immortal Pavilion, but you’re also a miracle doctor who even countless wealthy families couldn’t get,” Blaine said.“It wouldn’t be exaggerating to say that you have a high status. With my identity, I wouldn’t dare show up all the time! You might just hate me if I come too much!” he added.“You’ve been a

“You’re staying.”Master Mograine let out a cold chuckle.“I’m just an outsider, but my family still belongs in the world.“I haven’t left ever since I joined the sacred martial arts training ground because I couldn’t let my family go.“You people are my worst obstacles!“It’s only natural to do something for you this once.“I’ll show Representative York just how deep the waters run in Golden Sands!“Even the sacred martial arts training grounds have no choice but to humble themselves!“What’s the point of that man’s existence when all he can do is flaunt using the Martial Arts Alliance’s name?“I’ll make sure he gets a good lesson!”Blaine John gave a horrible expression.“That’s no good…“You haven’t fought in many years.“Harvey York was capable of killing Layton Surrey!“Legends say that he’s also on par with a God of War…“This is just…”Master Mograine scoffed.“Do you think I’m not capable of the same thing?”“I know you’re a God of War, but…”“There won’t be

“That said, a woman in traditional clothing showed up at the site on an afternoon.“She easily found twelve tempest-type gems, then announced that nothing was left to find in the first batch.“Nobody believed her at first, but the next dozens of customers couldn’t even find a gem the size of their pinky!“Then, the customers stopped after that.“The next day—yesterday, the woman came again when the second batch of stones showed up.“She easily found another twelve gems before announcing the same thing.“Nobody dared to challenge her anymore.“Seventy percent of the stones that could be turned into piles of gold were instantly recognized as garbage that nobody would bother to examine.“Today’s the third day.“According to the plan, we’ll be releasing our final batch.“If that woman comes again, I’m afraid…”Arlet Pagan was helpless.It would be nothing if the woman only found a few gems; not only would it hype the atmosphere, but the customers would also be in a craze after

Along with Kora’s movements, a few men in black hopped down from the balcony before shoving the crowd aside to get to the stones.The stones varied in size. Some looked smooth and plump, while others were simply deformed.The men in black did not waste a single second. After paying for the stones, they immediately got the smiths to start working.“Gems! Gems! Gems!”The crowd was exhilarated when they saw the sight.The women screamed in excitement, as if they had never seen money before in their entire lives.The place completely heated up in an instant.“The same thing happened twice before, but nobody noticed it the first time,” whispered Arlet.“But on the second time, everyone’s attention was completely captured.“This time…”Arlet shook her head with a hint of helplessness showing between her furrowed brows.The Pagan family had no choice but to remain passive since Kora already made her move.Their reputation would be tarnished entirely if the family did not act at a

In everyone’s eyes, Harvey York was just an idiot.‘He wants to gamble against Kora?’‘Who does he think he is?’‘Is he even worthy?’‘Even the Pagan family, one of the six Hermit Families, was utterly beaten by Kora!’‘What else can Harvey even do?’‘Under these circumstances, ordinary people would’ve made a deal with Kora. Maybe even pampering her so she wouldn’t cause any more trouble.’‘He must be desperate to die for going against her like this!’The people behind Kora showed judgmental gazes while looking at Harvey, scoffing.Arlet Pagan wanted to say something but briefly hesitated before letting Harvey decide.“Are you scared, Kora?Harvey showed a calm expression.“I’ll pick twelve stones too. I guarantee the gems I picked will definitely be worth much more than the ones you picked. How does that sound?”Everyone scoffed after hearing Harvey’s statement.They were wondering what sort of bet Harvey would come up with.‘Gambling stones?‘How can this guy, who cam
