A boat sped swiftly across the river. Atop it were the president, the prime minister, and one other senator. Several military men were also on the boat, standing guard.Beside them were two additional boats, each filled with fully armed soldiers. They were the finest troops from Panya, sent to ensure that the president reached Dell City safely.“Mr. President, what exactly happened to our men?” the prime minister asked.“I don’t know,” the president replied grimly. “They haven’t returned from the mission, and I haven’t been able to contact them either. I already sent other men to investigate. They should call me once they find anything. But for now, all we know is that the targets are still alive and healthy…”He clenched his teeth before finishing, “…and they are waiting for us in Dell City.”One could only imagine his shock when he received a call from Eric that morning. Soon, Dell came into view. He had already informed the city mayor of their arrival in advance to prevent any unne

A high-level Cultivator at the Golden Core realm. A standard senior captain of the White Guards, a force established by Majeed’s uncle and one of the most recognized and respected groups within the Supernatural Organization.They specialized in hunting down anything that posed a threat to the world, including Urgabas and other organizations that surfaced from time to time. Their influence stretched all the way to the Divine Beast Continent.A senior captain like him was someone with both power and influence. He could take an entire squad on his own and carry out high-level missions independently. Even though he was not the strongest among Majeed’s uncle’s disciples, he was definitely close to the top.He was also famous in New City. And yet, an ordinary youth had challenged him out of nowhere and even dared to speak to him in such a manner. Even if the boy came from one of the top families in the capital, unless his family were those hidden monsters, no one was going to save him.Ever

“I beg to differ, Old Man Brown, but you might not be a match for the strongest of the Urgabas,” Samuel said.The old man looked at him in a new light. “You know more than I thought, son. I think I understand what you are referring to, but the thing is, matters concerning Abominations of that level are not spoken of lightly. When I mentioned the strongest, I did not mean them.” He smiled faintly.“We have a rule not to mention them to others.”“Have you ever come across any?” Samuel asked.“I’m afraid not. I wouldn’t be alive if I had.” The old man threw the question back, though only for form’s sake. Samuel would not be standing before him if that were the case. “Have you?”“Maybe. Let’s not dwell on this topic,” Samuel said, shifting slightly. Still, he could not help thinking about his terrible luck. He had encountered two of them, while a renowned Urgaba Hunter like Brown had never come across even one.Samuel clasped his hands together and began explaining the artifact he had bui

Samuel was prepared to leave in the morning. He went to Majeed’s room and knocked, but there was no response. He turned the doorknob, and the door opened.He did not know what to make of the sight before him. The first time he had met Majeed, the man also had two women by his side. Back then, he had seemed like some big shot in Samuel’s eyes.Who would have thought that such a person had once been in a position where he could only rely on connections to avoid a beating? But that was simply how the world worked. Everything had its own level.If he had not grown this powerful, he might not even have had the chance to meet people like these.At the moment, Majeed had two women resting against his arms.“Did I interrupt something important?”“No.” Majeed finally got up lazily. “I didn’t know it was you knocking. Just give me a few minutes and I’ll get changed.”“Alright. I’ll be at the dojo waiting for you.” Samuel nodded and closed the door behind him.When he arrived at the dojo, he was

“They told me to ambush and kill you, friend. I’m sorry,” Mikel said seriously.He has really lost it, Samuel thought.“Who asked you to kill me?” he asked.“Sorry, friend. I can’t tell you. But because you are my friend, I will make your death quick, without any pain.”Mikel balled his fist as his qi surged violently. He threw a punch. The ground trembled under the impact. Samuel dodged swiftly, but even so, the shockwave blasted him backward and sent him skidding across the ground.“Much stronger than before, but not by a lot,” Samuel gauged calmly.Mikel rushed forward again, and the two collided repeatedly. Their bodies crashed into each other over and over, fists and limbs clashing with explosive force. Dust and shattered stones flew into the air. After several more fierce exchanges, they finally separated.“Friend, you are strong. Truly powerful,” Mikel said, smiling faintly. “Now I understand why you are my friend. Someone like you is worthy. I will give you the honor of going
