For the first time since arriving in this world, Samuel was completely helpless. The Golden Kun Supreme Body Art and the Primordial Devouring Art worked frantically together to regenerate his broken body.If not for them, he would have been crushed into minced meat.The creature seemed surprised that Samuel had not turned to mush. It howled and released him, and before Samuel could even feel relief, the monster grabbed his leg. With brutal strength, it began to smash him into the hard floor, against stone pillars, and every solid surface around.Samuel’s head struck the ground repeatedly, blood pouring freely. Most of the impacts landed there, and each blow felt like a thunderbolt exploding inside his skull.He spat blood, and though his head had not yet turned completely to pulp, it was close. His absurdly tough physique and nearly impossible regeneration were the only things preventing the creature from smashing it entirely, but even that recovery was slowing. The damage was overwhe

“No need to be afraid.” He laughed softly. “I don’t bite.”“First, I’d like to thank you for saving me. I can’t thank you enough.” Samuel smiled, attempting to reassure him.“Ah, haha. It’s alright—it was nothing. My name is Fellon,” the other replied, introducing himself.“I’m Samuel. I need to find a place to recuperate, like a large cave or something similar. This room feels too small and suffocating.” He realized he hadn’t even been able to lie down straight and had been curled up the whole time.They could have just treated him outside, he thought. What he didn’t know was that the villagers had brought him inside because of the heavy rain. It had been pouring nonstop for the past two days, so they couldn’t leave him out in the open.“Ah, a cave. Follow me.”Samuel followed him out of the village area until they reached a nearby cave.“Here it is, sir giant…”“Just call me Samuel, please,” he interrupted immediately. There was no way he’d ever be comfortable with that strange form

"Well, it's sad that I can't be of any help." He shrugged."Maybe you can." The priestess stepped forward and held his hand tightly, staring at him so intensely that it completely creeped him out."Oh? How then?"The other three were also curious, wondering how he would be of help.She said, "The Blackstone brought you here. I'm sure of it...""No, it didn't." He shook his head. "I'm even more sure of that." He didn’t want to give them any false hope, so he stayed firm."Then can you just come with us to the mountain, please?" She pleaded, lifting her head, her deep black eyes staring into his.Samuel looked down at her. He was sitting on a rock that wasn’t even tall, yet he still had to look down at her."Alright, it's just to check it out, right? I’ll just do that." He shrugged again.To him it wasn’t a big deal. He only had to take a look at the Blackstone and the pool, then leave after proving to her that they had no connection.They all walked toward the mountain, but the others

He went back to the cave he stayed at last night and cultivated. The next morning, he woke up after the day had fully broken. Since the Blackstone was no more, that meant there were no more locked boundaries, so he decided to leave immediately and head straight to Nork.From Nork, he would head back to the normal world where he planned to pursue corporate success and end this madness.Before leaving, he had given Salo and Cesar a large amount of weight loss pills. He told them that if he stayed away for more than two months, they should hand everything over to Tony to sell.It was already over two months, so he was sure they would have been sold. He should have around two billion plus dollars to start developing his company.As he crossed the village, he was shocked to see he was not the only one leaving. The villagers all carried sacks on their backs, ready to depart.He approached one of them, Fellon, the one who had saved him. He also wanted to meet the village healer who treated h

"Why is Samuel not back yet? Daddy, please, let us lead a search party and look for him." Ivana grabbed her father's hand pleadingly after pacing around the hall aimlessly.Maxwell could only sigh. If what Nina said was true, he would not be going anywhere near Egean City for a while, nor was he going to send his men to die. But he did not know how to tell his daughter.His brother Ferguson understood his worry. He stepped forward and held Ivana gently."Do not worry, Ivana. If he does not come back two days from now, we will do something," he said assuringly. He knew it was an empty promise, but he already had a plan.He would simply send out some men to go outside the city and stay for a while. When they returned, they would claim they did not find anything.Tiara looked at her twin sister, wondering how she could be acting like this because of that jerk. Nina and Azarath could only watch silently from the side.Jacob was nowhere to be seen. After Maxwell successfully became the cit
