Robert sat down obediently.“You must have been the one I’ve been in contact with?” he asked.The man’s voice sounded familiar to Robert. It was confident and slightly authoritative, but in a way that did not irritate or annoy. Instead, it gave off a strange sense of reassurance.It made you feel like obeying willingly.“You are right. My name is Stany, and this here is Mikel,” he said as he introduced them.Robert nodded. “Are you serious about what you said on the phone? If I join you, I can reach the Golden Core realm in one fell swoop? Is that even possible? I wasted a lot of resources just to reach my current level, and I know that reaching the Golden Core will not be possible for me in the next three years.”“You underestimate us? We can make you even more than that. Oh, I also discovered something important. You are an illegitimate son of Gaus,” Stany said calmly.“Ah, it seems you did quite a lot of digging on me. What else did you find?” Robert asked curiously.“Yes,” Stany s

“It’s simple. Accept my spiritual imprint,” he said calmly.The prisoners exchanged glances among themselves. Accept his spiritual imprint? Is that all? That was the so-called condition? They wondered if it was a joke or some kind of trap.“Is that all?” the man who had spoken first asked again.“That’s all.” Samuel smiled confidently. All of them would surely agree. After all, a spiritual imprint was never something harmful.Samuel had realized that his master-and-servant binding technique did not exist anywhere in this world. After conducting some research, he discovered something similar, yet unfamiliar to him.Spiritual imprint.It was like branding a person with your spiritual consciousness. Once branded, you would be able to know the person’s location no matter where they were.Just like the binding technique, the recipient had to accept the imprint into their spiritual consciousness or soul. Once they accepted it, they would be branded for life, and their location would always

“Well, well, well. How did you two get here? You even released my captives,” Stany said, still smiling.“He invited us.” Samuel pointed at Robert, who was visibly shocked.“Me? That’s a lie! I didn’t bring anybody with me. Please don’t believe him,” Robert said frantically. His heart was filled with fear as he did not know whether Stany would believe him.“Maybe you didn’t invite them, but they followed you anyway. Your movements might have been loud and drawn attention, huh?” Stany smirked.“I swear, not a single soul knew about my involvement with you guys. This guy is clearly lying. He came by himself…”“Enough!”He was cut off immediately. This time, it was the gloomy man, Mikel.“This is not the time to argue. Capture them, and we will naturally find out how they got here,” he said in a loud voice.Stany was the first to move. He was confident he could take down Gilbert again, and Mikel would be able to handle the rest just like before. But this time, there were Samuel and Nina.

Stany realized he was in serious trouble. At first, he had believed he could handle them. Even after Nina joined the fight, he thought it would not matter. He believed he could deal with even three people at the same level as himself. Unfortunately, he realized the truth far too late.Nina alone was already enough to defeat him. With the addition of Gilbert and Trisha, his situation became completely dire.The rest did not dare move closer. None of them wanted to die so early. Although they were all in the Golden Core realm, the gap between their strength and Stany’s was still two levels. One careless strike from him was all it would take to end their lives.Instead, they turned their attention to the group of Core Formation experts. Even though those experts were severely weakened, they were far easier to deal with. Robert was also captured, but he was not killed.Because he had walked together with Stany, they assumed he was someone important. They kept him alive in case they needed

He had been using a special technique to conceal his aura and presence, but it wore him down heavily since he had only a thin reserve of energy left.Luckily, he had managed to get far away. There was no way he could be traced now.He coughed, and blood spilled from his mouth.“Under normal circumstances, I could have handled him,” he thought angrily. The aura he had sensed earlier was nowhere near as powerful as the Abomination’s, so he believed that at his peak, he could have fought whoever it was and won.But in his current condition, he was in no shape to fight. Doing so would only endanger his life, with the chances of victory being painfully slim.He moved his body a few meters away. Finally, he found a tree and climbed onto it.Taking out his phone, he made a call.“Hello, Sam? Where are you right now? Are you hurt?” she asked worriedly.Samuel forced a small smile. She had not even waited for him to speak first.“I’m fine, Nina. I just wanted to let you know that I won’t be co

“What’s it, Sheena?” Sophie asked in shock. Everyone knew she had always been best friends with Sheena.“You think I don’t know you have been giving information about all my movements to the sect leader?” Sheena said coldly. “You even told her who Sam is. You are the reason she became so invested in finding a husband for me.“It was never like this before. You ruined my life.”“How did you…?” Sophie asked, stunned.“I have my ways, Sophie.” Sheena smirked.“Listen, Sheena. I had your well-being at heart. Sam is not worthy of you. He’s just a very weak man. Besides, even if I didn’t tell her, you couldn’t possibly hide your relationship forever, could you?” Sophie reasoned.Sheena did not say another word. She was worried about her father, seeing that he looked like he was about to say something. What if he was punished because of her again?Harold seemed to understand her thoughts and stepped forward.“Where are you going, Harold?” Margaret asked coldly.“To speak to my daughter, of c

A Jeep drove them to the government house. It was a ten-minute journey. The scenery along the way was nothing to write home about, but as they got closer to the government house, it suddenly felt as though they had entered an entirely different city.The streets became more beautiful, with better houses and well-paved roads. Although it was still not as good as the streets back in his own country, the contrast with the area they had passed through earlier was extremely sharp.Samuel, Eric, and Nina were in the same military Jeep, while the rest of the group rode in another vehicle.“I pity the engineers,” Eric sighed. “They looked really scared and agitated. I wish you had seen their faces when we were surrounded.”“I think that’s understandable,” Samuel shrugged. “It was their first encounter with military men pointing weapons at them. I believe, for a moment, they thought we were about to be attacked. They are normal civilians, after all.”Soon, both Jeeps stopped in front of a huge

“What’s going on?” he asked as he approached.Albert realized their loud voices had sent the wrong message.“I’m sorry to disturb you, Sam. It’s nothing serious. We’re just having some creative differences. I’ll have it settled now,” he assured him.Samuel nodded. He didn’t care about their internal affairs as long as it didn’t affect his plans. The two engineers immediately lowered their voices.Eric and Nina walked up behind him as they waited. After a while, Albert finally stepped away and walked toward them.“How is it?” Samuel asked.Albert was already fully informed about what he was here for.“The land here is good, although we would need to deploy large testing machines to get accurate estimates. Still, I can give a rough figure based on my experience.“Oh, go ahead,” Samuel said, nodding.“I think building a dock with six berths will cost around half a billion dollars,” he reported.“And for residences, power plants, factories, telecom infrastructure, hospitals, schools, and

“Fine, but why would he scam us?” Eric asked.“A premonition. And my premonitions never go wrong,” he said firmly, offering no further explanation.Eric did not argue again.“Alright. I guess we should be extra careful in our dealings. I’m sorry I allow myself to trust too easily.” Based on his experience, Samuel’s intuition was always right. He still could not forget the day at the auction. The scenes from that day were still fresh in his mind.The two of them returned.“How is it, Eric? Have you spoken to your friend? Tell him I am not a businessman. I am a president. A president of an entire country.” He struck his chest, pretending to be deeply offended.“Mr. President, I understand your point, but we do have a reason that cannot be disclosed. I will be blunt with you. You really need this money. But if you don’t, then you can simply forget that we ever met. I will be heading back to my country.“There are other countries where we can obtain an island,” Samuel said before Eric cou

Samuel strolled casually around the island, watching as everyone tucked in their tents for the night.Nina had already set up her own tent, but when she noticed that Samuel looked as though he intended to remain outside, she frowned. She stepped away from her tent and walked over to him.“Aren’t you going to sleep tonight?” she asked softly.“No. Everyone can’t just sleep,” he replied in a low voice. “Someone has to guide the tents while everyone else is asleep.”“Then that should be me or Eric,” she said. “It’s your subordinates’ job to guide you, not the other way around.”“Eric is not my subordinate, and you are more than just a subordinate to me,” he said calmly. “In short, I no longer see you as one. Don’t worry about me. Nothing will happen even if I don’t sleep for days. Go and rest.”Nina walked a short distance away, picked up a rock, and placed it beside Samuel. Then she sat down next to him.Samuel looked at her in surprise, but he did not say anything to discourage her. Kn
