Chapter 101
Not long after Raymond arrived at the edge of Flamefire Mountain, immediately a strange heaviness settled in his chest. It wasn’t just the searing heat or the volcanic haze clinging to the air, it was something more. A silent pressure, as if the mountain itself was wary of his presence. Every step forward made the ground feel alive, pulsing faintly beneath his boots like it carried a heartbeat of its own.The scent of sulfur was thick, the skies above painted in orange mist, and distant rumbles echoed across the landscape like the growl of some ancient, sleeping beast. Massive cracks in the earth bled molten lava, glowing veins that pulsed along the slopes, and the gusts of wind that rolled down the cliffs carried enough heat to blister skin. Even standing still, Raymond could feel the mountain breathing fire into his bones.Without being told he could tell this wasn’t a place for the weak.Without wasting time, he closed his eyes and activated IgniteFireInfinity, the aura of intense

At that moment, Raymond stood tall in the center of his camp, as he was being Surrounded on all sides. A hundred men encircled him warriors, elders, and spiritual guards from every side forming a wall of hostility. But in the eye of that storm, Raymond didn’t shift. He stood still, his gaze steady, arms loosely behind him, like a lone king before a court of wolves.From the north ridge, a powerful voice thundered forward.It was Chief Darak Flame heart, theFireclaw Clan head, known for guarding the northern peaks of Flamefire Mountain for generations. His cloak of dark red furs flapped behind him as he walked forward. The air seemed to burn just from his presence.Then he pointed a thick finger at Raymond. “You. Outsider. Speak—what is your mission here in Flamefire Mountain?” His voice boomed through the scene. “You entered without permission. You tread upon sacred earth. What gives you the right to come here?”Hearing Chief Darak Flame words Raymond raised his head slightly and
Chapter 103
At that moment, all four chiefs Darak Flameheart, Mistress Aryen Skyrend, Elder Goru Stoneborne, and Chief Borgan Redfang, were visibly surprised when they noticed a lone figure walking steadily toward them. His steps were measured, his demeanor calm, yet his identity was unknown to any of them.Despite their alertness, the chiefs instinctively sensed that the approaching figure was not an immediate threat. The man's aura was low, his presence confident but not hostile. Still, the atmosphere was tense, and the warriors surrounding the chiefs gripped their weapons tightly.However, Raymond, standing amidst the encircled formation, felt a wave of fury the instant his eyes locked onto the newcomer. His jaw clenched, his eyes narrowed sharply. There was no mistaking the figure, it was Widem.Without needing confirmation, Raymond knew. The traps meticulously laid across his path, the carefully concealed hazards within Flamefire Mountain, it all reeked of human sabotage, not natural dangers

At that moment, Waylon took a deep breath, lifted his chin with righteous flair, and continued his dramatic speech. His voice echoed through the mountain basin, his words heavy with conviction and fire. “I took it upon myself to be here today,” he declared, pausing just long enough to let the silence weigh on the crowd. “Not for fame. Not for power either. But because someone had to act. Someone had to make sure that the culture, the legacy, and the sacred spirituality of Flame fire Mountain would remain untouched, pure, as it has been for generations.”His eyes scanned the gathering, locking with each of the four chiefs Darak Flameheart, Mistress Aryen Skyrend, Elder Goru Stoneborne, and Chief Borgan Redfang. Then, slowly, his arm lifted, finger extended, stabbing through the air like a dagger as it pointed straight at Raymond.“But him,” he spat, “people like him they’re the poison. They should never have stepped foot on this land, let alone dared to breathe its sacred air. And yet

At that moment, upon hearing what Raymond just said, Waylon suddenly burst into slow, mocking applause. The sound of his palms clapping together echoed sharply in the tense room. He smirked and said, “Wow, Raymond. What a very touching story indeed. Look at you standing here, spinning words so sweet that everyone now thinks you cannot even hurt a fly. This is what you always do, isn’t it? You walk around deceiving people, blackmailing people, twisting truths just to get what you want. You put on this mask of righteousness, but behind it is nothing but schemes.”At that moment Waylon’s voice grew louder, more forceful, his eyes scanning the faces in the room as if trying to sway them even more to his side. “And now, you bring the same excuse here. You want to use pity, you want to use fake virtue. Well, it’s not going to work this time. That’s the very reason I came here today, to expose you for what you really are. I won’t let you fool these people like you’ve fooled others.”The room

At that moment, Derek, the FlameClan leader, slowly Step forward, his robe flowing behind him like a sheet of fire. His eyes narrowed as he studied Raymond carefully, his voice calm but edged with weight.“I do not believe your words,” Derek declared, his tone carrying authority. The murmurs among the other clan heads instantly stilled. “Yet… deep inside me, something insists that you are not speaking falsehood. And for that reason, I will not dismiss you outright. Instead, I will give you the chance to prove yourself.”He paused, letting the silence stretch. The weight of his words pressed against everyone present.“You know very well,” Derek continued, “that you cannot defeat us all. Every great clan head is gathered here. If your purpose was to fight, you would have struck already, or fled before we even gathered. But instead, you came before us, with nothing but your words. That alone tells me your intentions may not be what he claims.”he then pointed at Waylon.The crowd shifte

At that moment, upon hearing Derek’s sharp warning, Waylon’s pride burned, but he forced himself to remain quiet. His fists clenched at his sides, his chest heaving as he struggled with the humiliation of being silenced in front of so many. He had always believed his words carried weight, that people should respect his reasoning. Yet here he was, treated like a reckless child, his voice dismissed as if it meant nothing. For a fleeting moment, the thought of speaking again tempted him, but the cold, steely look in Derek’s eyes made it clear, if he pushed further, it would not end well for him.At that moment Waylon lowered his head, bowing slightly in Derek’s direction. The gesture was not entirely out of respect, but more a survival tactic, a way to swallow his anger and protect himself from further embarrassment. His silence hung in the air like a heavy curtain, and it did not go unnoticed by the other clan leaders who were watching closely, each weighing their own thoughts about the

At that moment Elder Goru Stoneborne stood till straighter, his eyes glinting with a dangerous hunger. His lips curved into the faintest of smiles, the kind that revealed nothing to the others but carried enough weight to let his closest followers know he had already begun plotting. years of life… with this alone, he knew they can buy time, build our strength, and crush anyone who stands in our way.Redmaw Clan’s Chief Borgan Redfang couldn’t keep still either. His foot scraped lightly against the ground as he leaned forward, his breathing quickening, his eyes locked on the small jar Raymond held. He wasn’t just surprised, he was burning with desire. Redmaw Clan’s Chief Borgan Redfang, normally calm and composed, looked as if his heart had leapt into his throat. “Years,” he whispered under his breath, almost as though speaking to himself. “Just one piece, and years of Longevity…” He could already imagine elders of his clan demanding he secure the pills at any cost, or perhaps use the
Chapter 109
At that moment the silence that hung in the clearing was unlike any Raymond had felt before. It wasn’t the calm of nature, nor the weight of the Flamefire Mountain’s oppressive aura it was the silence of human tension, the kind that carried daggers hidden in every glance.Deep down in his mind, Raymond could already sense the storm forming behind their guarded faces. He didn’t need anyone to whisper it to him, he knew. These men and women, chiefs of their clans, weren’t allies bound together for the good of their people. No, he could see it in the twitch of their brows, the measured stillness of their breathing, and the way their eyes lingered too long on the jar in his hand.They were calculating. Each of them had their own agenda.They wanted benefits, power, control, leverage. Not one of them was here for fairness. Cooperation? That was a word for the weak. Raymond could tell in an instant: these chiefs, each representing centuries of legacy, were also carrying centuries of ambitio
Chapter 110
At that moment, upon hearing what Derek just said, Raymond’s eyes narrowed just a little.That was it, that was the opening he needed the perfect moment to regain control of this tense and unpredictable situation. A lot was at stake, and one wrong move would paint him as a threat to the Flamefire mountain itself, or worse, ignite a war he wasn't ready to fight just yet. He had no intention of burning bridges not here, not now. Not when he was this close to getting exactly what he wanted.Raymond let out a calm breath as he raised his gaze slowly to the four clan heads, each standing of front of their members like warlords guarding treasure. The air was still heavy, but something had shifted their eyes now held interest, curiosity, calculation.He could see it clearly.They wanted something from him. All four of them. And if there was one thing Raymond had mastered over time, it was how to recognize the hunger of powerful men pretending not to be greedy.Even though he already had a pl
