CHAPTER 651
Not far from the royal castle.Denver and Novick exchanged hits, and Novick kept getting pushed back. His aural constructs were vaporized like they were nothing.“You’ve gotten significantly stronger in the few days I haven’t seen you,” Novick seemed a little jealous. “Your lightning is not even red, yet it’s already quite potent thanks to spiritual aura.”“You got appointed as the temporary southern guardian, so you shouldn’t be here right now,” Denver retorted. “If you don’t leave, I’ll beat your ass and demand points for it.” He glanced in Natalia’s direction.Natalia normally wouldn’t have agreed, but Novick was on Mickey’s side right now, so she nodded.“Beat my ass, you say?” Novick smiled. “I have my prestige to keep as a royal knight, so I can’t lose to you or to any other ranker for that matter. Don’t think you can beat me just because you unlocked spiritual aura. You’re still a newbie at using spiritual aura. I can work my way around and pummel you to the ground.”“Do your w
CHAPTER 652
A few minutes earlier, elsewhere in Hawk Park.Kuro was on his way to exiting the park, but he suddenly got teleported against his will.And he found himself standing in front of Ilene.She glanced at the horn-like crystal in his hand. “So that was what you were after. Then the whole talk about making a name for yourself in this country… a lie?”“If I really had such a dream, you think my dad’s bodyguard would have come with me when I first came here?” Kuro asked back.“Killer King Shindo, huh… Certainly…” Her eyes were fixed on the item in his hand. “Do you even know what that is?”Kuro paused for a moment before saying, “Ryu no tsuno… Dragon’s horn. This is the horn of the great serpent that once ruled the world. You and your little group of hawks don’t know how valuable this is.”“I assume you’re going to consume it and grow stronger?” she asked.Kuro didn’t say anything.“Let me guess… you’re going to give it to someone else,” Ilene added. “Is it your dad, or… is it the head of th
CHAPTER 653
At the western border of Hawk Park.The clash between Mickey and Lily could be heard and felt here.“Should we really be standing here and doing nothing?” Diane asked. “Didn’t you say Lily was fighting Mickey herself? What if she loses? Then everything we’ve invested in so far will go to waste!”She didn’t want to look silly in front of her sister and Denver, so she wanted to make sure she was on the winning side.“If we help her now, we’d actually be hurting her pride and stature,” Leo replied.“What pride? She’s fighting a lawbreaker, so there’s no need for her to fight him alone,” Diane blurted.“It’s still not the right time for us to intervene,” Leo was saying, and Serena arrived there.Seeing her covered in bruises and blood, Diane snorted, “What the hell were you doing while your boss is fighting with her life on the line?”Serena was a bit frozen by Diane’s attitude. “Who the fuck is this bitch?” she looked at Leo.“My girlfriend,” Leo replied.Serena slightly frowned. “She’s
CHAPTER 654
The clash between Mickey and Lily exposed the veins of aura rippling through the air, the scent of their auras stitching into the breaths and very souls of those nearby.Nox’s heart nervously guttered like a flickering torch. He wanted to join the fight and bring it to a close, but he was waiting for Mickey’s signal.However, it seemed like Mickey wanted to fight Lily by himself.Nox did not doubt Mickey’s abilities, but Natalia had already put some sort of a curse on Mickey, which made it difficult for him to use his telekinesis ability and also aura, in general.Lily did not mind fighting Mickey like this.She looked smaller and leaner than Mickey, but she had the lean muscle of someone who had learned to make every inch of her a weapon.Her Nightlaser was a strip of darkness caged in light, humming with the promise of a sun in a sliver.Just a touch from this sword could disintegrate the opponent’s aura, which was why Mickey had to be supremely alert when fighting her.“I can under
CHAPTER 655
Catherine was probably the most shocked of all.Firstly, how was Sheryl able to close in on them when Catherine was struggling to breathe even though she was more than a hundred meters away?Was she using psychic aura to withstand the pressure exuded by their exchanges?“G-Green Fang!” Natalia was slack-jawed. “What the hell are you doing? Why did you attack Lily?!”“Ah?” Sheryl cast a cold glance at the old woman, as though telling her to shut her mouth. “Did crows eat part of your brain or what? The competition is still ongoing, so I can attack whoever I want. I’m quite pissed right now, so be glad that I’m not hurling my fists at you.”“You…” Natalia felt like attacking Sheryl right away. She could not stand Sheryl’s arrogance being directed toward her. “Do you realize who you’re talking to?”But before Natalia could attack, Mickey and Lily attacked Sheryl from a few meters away.“Tri Aural Palm!” Mickey sent a devastating palm forth.“Crescent Vow!” Lily also used a double-handed
CHAPTER 656
Sheryl swiftly dodged the Nightlaser and created gauntlets of wood. They were highly elastic and durable.Still, she used the gauntlets to only deflect the Nightlaser sword because she knew of its capabilities more so than anyone else.This sword was equipped with a deathly aura that could nullify a person’s aura.So, Sheryl had to rely on her forest ability to keep defending herself with extreme care and precision.Even the slightest mistake or miscalculation could lead to her death.“How does your own medicine taste?” Lily relentlessly attacked her.Sheryl’s face was a map of scratches. Blood trickled down from her temple, but a smile still tugged her lips. “Like I said, your skills are nothing to sweat at. You have stopped improving after taking this sword from me. You think I’ll be afraid of facing the likes of you?!”Sheryl momentarily caught the Nightlaser sword between her palms and pulled it, trying to snatch it away from Lily.Lily switched off the blade fast, so Sheryl lost
CHAPTER 657
Denver was planning to head to the castle, but the arrival of Diane and Leo stopped him.He didn’t turn back, but his senses clearly told him who they were.He did not recognize Jamie, but he felt some sort of familiarity as though he had met him in the past.“Leave things here to us,” Sheryl told Denver, and Catherine nodded in agreement.“Are you sure?” Denver asked once more because it wasn’t just Diane and Leo, but there was also Jamie among them.Just then, Nicole and Sakura arrived there, and they brought Lovia, Rocky, Stoney, Idris and others along.“I’ll leave things here to you then,” Denver told Sheryl.He briefly glanced in the direction of Lovia and others. He was happy and glad that they were alright.He only faintly smiled before leaving, but that smile was noted by his teammates.He didn’t need to say more.Sheryl stood before Leo, whereas Sakura, Lovia and others were eyeing Jamie and other members of Eagle Rise Group.Natalia was just watching silently with mixed emot
CHAPTER 658
CATHERINE’S POV:Many years ago.The corridor next to the pool was dim, lit only by the warm pulse of a single lantern hanging crooked on its hook.I didn’t mean to be there. I had forgotten her watch, so I came back to fetch it.It was something trivial.Something normal.I was about to enter a room, but I heard a laugh from the next room.It was a man’s laugh.“You’re doing it too hard, Diane,” his voice was unguarded, a sound no man should have been making in that room at that hour.On top of that, why did Diane’s name come out of that man’s mouth?It surely can’t be my sister, right?But then, I remembered giving a spare key to my sister a while back.That thought froze me for a second.My hand hovered mid-air, fingertips tingling.It can’t be my sister, I told myself.“What if someone comes and sees us?” the man stated.Another voice followed, husky and light. “If someone sees us, I’ll just drown them to death in the pool.”It was Diane’s voice.Chills thickly gripped my spine.A
CHAPTER 659
The next morning.Catherine had the habit of waking up neither early nor late. She had her timings set, which was six o’clock.If the breakfast wasn’t done by then, she would help her mom.They didn’t talk to each other much as they would cook in a hurry because Richard would start yelling if the breakfast wasn’t prepared before seven.At the breakfast table.Catherine served food to her dad, and she was also eating with him.“Are you really planning on competing in swimming and running at a higher level?” Richard asked her.“Yes, Dad.”“You believe that you can get to the top?” Richard’s voice contained doubt. “One small injury can change everything, you know. You should at least get a degree first. I don’t have a degree, but I didn’t need one back in those days. However, things have changed now. You need qualifications to get decent jobs. It’s important to have back up, so don’t neglect your studies. And don’t have too many friends.”“I only have four friends, Dad. And I’m confident
CHAPTER 660
Richard drove his old car and arrived at an abandoned warehouse.His crew wasn’t there yet.“Tsk, they have a severe starting problem,” Richard thought. “I’ve gotta do something to kill their laziness so that our productivity will increase.”A vintage Ford Falcon stopped by.A one-eyed man stepped out of the car.“Are you Mr. Sedrick?” Richard went over to greet him, but Sedrick did not shake his hand.Richard felt a bit embarrassed, but he was quick to cover it.Good thing, no one else was watching.Sedrick handed out the construction plan to renovate the warehouse.“Reinforcing the walls, pillars, and fixing the ceiling…” Richard said. “All these can be done, but you want to build a hidden basement?”“Yeah. Why are you asking about it? Can’t you do it?”“It’s one thing to build a basement before the warehouse is built,” Richard explained, “but now, I need to find out if the warehouse will endure the construction of a basement.”“I need the job done as quickly as possible,” Sedrick g
