Scott suddenly felt the air around him rapidly heating up. Then, the energy opposite him began to condense incessantly, a dark red flame bursting fiercely, revealing the form of the fire spirit.His elongated ears twitched as he raised an eyebrow, looking at Scott with keen interest. "Welcome to my domain, Guide."Scott looked at the fire spirit in front of him and asked calmly, "Your domain?"The fire spirit, now unusually amiable, explained patiently, "Indeed, this is my domain within this tower. Once here, other spirits cannot interfere in our battle, nor do they have the right to observe it."Pausing for a moment, he smirked, his gaze turning somewhat fierce. "It also means that even if I were to beat you to a pulp, no one would know, and no one could help you!"Scott looked at the fire spirit, facing his provocative words, but he didn't react much. He simply took a step forward, extending one hand forward, and said in a low voice, "Let's begin."The fire spirit smirked, his e

Scott looked at Albert and asked, "So, does the Adel family know the details of this fire incident?"Albert shook his head. "No, our organization exists to ensure that ordinary people aren't drawn into special events. Naturally, we wouldn't let the Adel family know the details of this matter."Pausing for a moment, Albert continued, "This might sound quite unbelievable, but our organization has a prophet. After the fire, he prophesied that a major disaster would befall the world. It would be a catastrophe so severe that it could lead to destruction. The only way to prevent this disaster is to gather the four lost artifacts of the gods. I don't know if they're truly items dropped by the gods, but they're referred to as such, so I call them that."Scott intertwined his hands, speaking solemnly, "So, Solomon's scepter is also one of the artifacts dropped by a god."Of course, Scott already knew this from some of the things Solomon's scepter had said.Albert was also unaware of this fact,

Scott glanced at the documents on his desk, understanding Jennifer's concern. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, even if they try anything, they won't succeed. You know me well, Jennifer."Hearing Scott's words, Jennifer quickly shifted out of work mode and spoke softly, "This time is different. Neither Walter nor I are allowed to accompany you."Her beautiful eyes looked at Scott, displaying clear concern. "What are you planning, Scott? And what threat has emerged? I've told you before that both Walter and I will always be by your side. You shouldn't shoulder everything alone anymore, Scott. The past is behind us."Scott faced Jennifer, but for the first time, he avoided her gaze. His voice lacked emotion as he said, "I've already told you, Jennifer. Nothing will happen."Hearing this, Jennifer knew she couldn't ask further.Before leaving, she restrained herself from saying, "Walter will definitely be unhappy about you going on a business trip without him. Moreover, I'm curious to

When Scott opened his eyes again, he found himself standing in a pitch-black void to the extent that he couldn't even see his own hand when he raised it.Scott furrowed his brow slightly but didn't make any movements.Soon, faint green lights appeared, accompanied by a vague voice, "You shouldn't attempt to enter the high tower from such a distant location. It's very dangerous, and you might get lost."The spirits in the high tower all had voices similar to children. This voice sounded more mature, but Scott could still clearly distinguish it as the voice of the wind spirit.Nevertheless, he didn't reveal this and simply asked, "What would be the consequences if I got lost?"The glowing spots remained silent.Scott continued, "Then what level of proficiency do I need to freely enter the high tower?"After a while, the glowing spots finally spoke, "Wait until you reach the top of the high tower."Scott didn't ask anything further, and even if he wanted to, he wouldn't have the chance.

Scott's group, with the same number of people, notably had Ciel alongside a tall, unfamiliar man next to Helen. He was perhaps two meters tall, slightly hunched, with a bulky, imposing figure. Notably, he wore sunglasses and a mask, making it impossible to see his face clearly.The two wheelchairs quickly moved along the streets, eventually stopping at an inconspicuous empty lot in the capital. Getting off the vehicles, Helen looked up at the somewhat gloomy sky today and couldn't help but remark, "The weather isn't great today. The Z country's capital rarely has weather like this. It seems we're quite unlucky."Scott glanced at her and remarked, "You seem overly cheerful. I wonder what's on that island."Helen smiled. Today, she wasn't wearing a dress; instead, she opted for a more streamlined outfit to facilitate movement. The tight black attire accentuated her graceful curves, and she covered her mouth, chuckling lightly, "Don't jump to conclusions, dear."Scott showed no reac
