He couldn’t help but remember how August had punched him right in the face, stopping him from drinking the elixir. If he had succeeded, then even August might be dead right now. That kid was lucky. His anger drove him to have a sharp instinct.“He is still alive,” Raven said with a frown. “What? I thought you were stronger than him.” Michael was slightly surprised. Raven might be among the top strongest people he had under him in the sect; compared to the people above him, he was still weak. However, someone like him should be enough to take care of that kid, as he had long crossed the grandmaster level decades ago. What went wrong?“I’m sorry, but he is slightly stronger than I expected. I could have died if I had stayed any longer.” Raven had to confess even though he hated the outcome.“So even with two elixirs, you are still useless?” Michael growled. His words sent chills down Raven's spine as though he had been showered with a bowl of ice water. He didn’t need anyone to tell h

“It seems you want to do this the hard way instead. I am just here to talk. If you give me what I need, I’ll leave and not hurt anyone here. Do you understand?” The voice said again before grabbing the doorknob and wanting to pull it open, but something like an electric spark surged through and repulsed his hand.“A barrier on a shabby store?” The voice said with a hint of amusement, but right after, a cracking sound echoed, and the next thing, the door was being ripped off its hinges regardless of the barrier around the whole place. Noah was stunned. He knew how strong his grandmother's protective barrier was, and it had been there for several years, yet a strange-looking man had appeared and ripped through it like it was child's play.There was only one explanation for this, and that was the fact that whoever this man was, he had to be very powerful.Swooooh!Wind whistled through the door frame. The outline of a shadow appeared by the door as the moon was shining in the sky. The f

Michael smirked as he noticed both ladies were about to attack him from both sides. Do they think they stood a chance against him or what? Their weakness alone had a very stinking smell to him, and yet they clung to hope, thinking their attack could do damage to him. He couldn’t wait to see the look on their faces by then.“Such a foolish set of people!” He didn’t attack or take a stance to evade their attack. Instead, he even compromised, and pulled his legs off Noah’s head to the floor.“Die!!!!!!!!!!!” Lily attacked with all her might. Her grandmother had taught her cultivation so she wasn’t weak. In fact, she was even more impressive than her brother, and today she was going to prove it by saving him. She punched out, but when her fist landed on Michael, it felt like she had stumbled across a concrete wall. She could have sworn it was his face and punched, yet, it felt so hard that even her knuckles cracked.Bang!She stumbled to the back, stunned. Her eyes widened in shock as s

Michael saw death flash before his eyes. All his ambition, his life, and what he had achieved—all of them were going to end here today and now? He underestimated this woman. Ten minutes was quite a lot of time to take his life.And who could have expected that one could attack from outside the barrier but he couldn't attack back? That was nothing but wickedness at its peak.“Damn it!” He had no choice. He had to resort to any means to save himself, or he was going to regret it in the afterlife. At once, he let out his Qi, using it to forge another barrier inside the barrier. But this one was meant to protect him. Even though the blade seemed to be able to cut through Qi, if he hardened it enough, it might just be enough to lessen the damage and pull his life away from harm. The damage would only be shallow and he would survive it.Quickly, he immediately initiated the process as he was in a pinch. His Qi immediately set up the barrier around him when the attack came forth. He saw

Meanwhile, while all this was going on, August had returned to McChord Island. He walked over from the base down to the island, lost in his head and in pain. When Shadow and the men he was training saw him coming, noticing the expression on his face, though they might not be able to tell if something was wrong with him, it was a different story for Shadow.The air around August, his sulking attitude was enough to explain that he had lost someone again. As for who it was, now wasn't the time to ask him. However, he walked towards August and spoke. He didn't even think too much about the words to say but instead, he just let out whatever came to his head.“We are here for you regardless. You should know that.” He assured, and only then did August look away from the floor to him. He forced a smile and nodded. “Welcome back, boss!” the men said loudly right after.“Thank you.” August looked ahead to the men. They were standing shirtless and now looked more like ferocious wolves than be
