I truly didn’t expect you two could go this far, he said in a cold, menacing voice.Covered in blood, Albert broke into a bright smile. He waved at Bernard and said, Farewell, buddy. Rest assured, I will lead the Martin Family back to its former glory. When that day comes, I’ll burn paper money to let you know.Albert, don’t get complacent. Don’t think this is over, Bernard’s voice was grim. But after saying these words, the light in his eyes faded rapidly, replaced by a dull, lifeless gray.With his graying eyes, he glanced at his own body with great difficulty, then turned his gaze to Albert and Emily. An extremely complex emotion flickered in his eyes, yet in the end, he said nothing—only let out a long, faint sigh, allowing his body to be completely dissolved into nothingness by the two forces.Albert and Emily watched this scene calmly. They didn’t bother to figure out what Bernard’s final gaze meant, nor did they care if he felt regret. All the chaos had already been unleashed;

The moment Howard was wounded by Joseph’s single saber strike, countless cheers erupted within the Martin Family. Those loyal to Albert and Emily all wore expressions of excitement. Now, Bernard was dead, Jared was on the brink of death, and even the Divine-Rank powerhouse who had come to reinforce the enemy had been severely injured and forced to retreat. Clearly, the life-or-death crisis facing the Martin Family today had finally taken a turn for the better!From this day onward, Albert would officially become the Patriarch of the Martin Family!This internal turmoil was finally coming to an end!In contrast to the wild joy of Sean, Alvin, and the others, the hall masters who had defected to Bernard turned deathly pale. Their will to fight vanished in an instant, and they collapsed limply to the ground, allowing themselves to be captured without resistance.Obviously, in the face of such a situation, they had already fallen into despair.We won!Cherry’s charming face was also filled w

The Regent’s mind raced, and he immediately made up his mind. With a backward leap, he retreated directly out of the airspace above the Martin Family headquarters.As he withdrew, the Golden Wing Divine Light ceased its pursuit. Instead, it transformed into wispy strands of golden mist that drifted back and were swallowed by Charlotte in a single breath.The confrontation between the two had happened in the blink of an eye. By the time most people regained their senses, they only saw the Regent hastily retreating—this instantly filled the hearts of many top powerhouses in Newhurst with shock. For anyone could tell that in the previous clash, it was actually the Regent who had been at a disadvantage!Yet one must remember: the Regent was at the 5-Star Divine-Rank realm!He was undoubtedly among the most top-tier Divine-Rank powerhouses in Newhurst!How could he have been forced back by a mere projection of Charlotte?Fleeing so soon? Weren’t you so arrogant just now? Charlotte stared col

Albert rolled his eyes. From his parents, he could clearly feel what favoritism meant. Just looking at all the trump cards and skills Emily had—those Divine-Rank secret techniques were most likely left for her by his dad and mom. But when it came to him? He got nothing. Everything he had was earned through his own efforts; even his final ace had to be obtained by trading his blood with the Three-Tailed Heavenly Wolf. It really summed up to nothing but misery.Of course, he understood this was only because he hadn’t had the ability back then. After all, when Andrew and Charlotte left, he was still stuck with an empty soul. Even though they’d laid out a cultivation path for him, no one could have known just how far he’d actually go. So it only made sense to leave those trump cards in Emily’s hands, where they’d be put to better use.But understanding didn’t stop Albert from silently complaining about the obvious double standard.Charlotte also walked over with a smile, reached out, and

But now, the two of them have appeared in the form of projected avatars, which has shattered this rumor. While this doesn’t mean they will ultimately walk out of the Otherworld Battlefield safely, it has at least given people a glimmer of hope.In particular, Charlotte had previously made a powerful move to repel the Regent—who held immense influence in Newhurst. Such strength was even more thrilling to people.Although Albert’s performance at the Family Assembly was extremely stunning, when it came to actual influence, he was clearly no match for a Divine-Rank powerhouse by any means. Even so, Albert was in a rather good mood. After all, Bernard had been eliminated one way or another, and with his parents’ appearance to deter others, the Martin Family’s disaster could be considered truly resolved. From now on, even if the Regent still harbored covetous intentions toward the Martin Family, he would have to hold back a little and wouldn’t dare to act so blatantly. At the very least, he
