While Sheyrl and Catherine attacked Brother Wool, Brother Linen was just standing still.“Are you going to fight, or are you going to watch your brother die?” Denver asked.“We don’t plan on losing, but even in the worst case that we lose, we’ll destroy the feathers we have,” Brother Linen smirked.“What if you die before you can burn the feather?” Denver said, crackling electricity in his palm.Brother Linen gave a long stare at Denver. “All of you brothers and sisters of the Nighthawk family are so shortsighted. If there’s anyone that’s praiseworthy, it would be Borg. Only that son of a bitch knows what he’s doing.”“So you’re planning on going to Borg’s side,” Denver said. “But he’s not part of Hawkers anymore.”“Can’t you see?” Brother Linen retorted. “The future isn’t ruled by humans but by machines. While we’re all busy fighting each other, they’re slowly growing in power. And your brother, Borg, has always dreamed of combining the machine and man to create the perfect cyborg. H

Sheryl stabbed the brothers in the thigh with wooden spears.“You fucking bitch!” the brothers growled at Sheryl. “Our information will definitely help you. We know the origins of Den bank and why you shouldn’t associate yourself with it. Don’t you want to know about the masked swordsman who approached you recently, Don Denver?”Denver’s expression changed.“Don’t listen to their nonsense,” Sheryl said, twisting the wooden spears, making the brothers cringe in pain. “They are cleverly trying to make us poke our own eyes.”“The same guy approached us, too!” Brother Linen growled through pain. “We refused to join that organization, but we’ve gathered intel on it. It’s information that will save your lives.”“Oink all you want. I’m not buying your shit,” Sheryl pulled the spears out and was going for the kill.“Wait,” Denver said.Sheryl stopped the spears at the last second, which made the brothers grin.“Boss, you can’t trust a word that comes out of these bastards,” Sheryl said. “They

Thanks to Sheryl’s warning, Catherine spit out the banana piece from her mouth.“What’s wrong?” Catherine quickly asked. “Why did you tell me not to eat it?”“Aren’t you asking the obvious?” Sheryl yelled. “What if it’s poisoned?”“EH?” Catherine looked at the old shopkeeper who was smiling cheekily. “A-Are the bananas poisoned?”“My, my… which fruits aren’t loaded with pesticides and chemicals these days?” the old lady replied while cleaning an apple with a cloth. “They are slow poison, so you won’t die right away from eating them. But in time, you will fall sick and you wouldn’t even know why you got intestinal or some other form of cancer.”“The heck?” Catherine looked bewildered as the old lady was speaking scary stuff with a smiling face.Sheryl picked up a banana and sniffed it. “I don’t think it’s poisoned.”“Whew…” Catherine was relieved to hear that.“But don’t recklessly eat from a random store,” Sheryl warned. “No, you shouldn’t eat from any store or from any place unless y

“You’re dead meat, Denver!” Joffrey leaped down from the wall in great fury.“Green Tide!” a flood of vines rolled forward and flew at Joffrey like a tsunami.“Hawk Glide!” Joffrey expertly dashed through the vines, barely stepping on some of them as he changed directions pretty fast and came down and attacked Denver with great momentum. “Hawk Fang!”Denver’s claw also met with Joffrey’s claw in the same fashion.Both of them used the same attack. Their fingers locked together as Joffrey tried to rip out Denver’s fingers.Denver released a pulse of shocking energy through his claw, but Joffrey resisted it with his own pulse of pure somatic aura.“Leaf Shuriken!” Sheryl threw a spinning leaf that went for Joffrey’s neck from the side.Joffrey was forced to bend his upper body back.Denver used this opportunity to kick him in the gut and send him flying back to the wall.Sheryl continued her previous ‘Green Tide’ attack and seemingly swallowed Joffrey alive.The huge wall itself got de

At the royal castle.More than a hundred people arrived at the front gate, led by the new 25th ranker Devon.But they all stopped because the main gate was being guarded by a sturdy old man who was tall and big like a teak tree.“Ronny Burns. A loser who couldn’t become a guardian or a royal knight,” Devon smirked. “If you don’t want to lose your pathetic life, then open the gate and let us go inside.”“You want to enter the castle? For what?” Ronny questioned calmly.“I will put an end to this stupid festival,” Devon replied.“Oh, so you want to gong the golden bell.”Devon licked the bloody sword in his hand. “I don’t give two shits about this festival. I’m just here for my father’s head.”“The king?” Ronny’s expression changed. “You think you have what it takes to even get to the palace?”Devon grinned. “You think I don’t know that the royal knights are spread out in Hawk Park during the festival? The security of the castle is the weakest during the festival. This is the perfect ti
