"Yes, it is. When your sister sent us the information, we needed an executioner. There were no executioners free at the time, and not many of them were powerful enough to fend off an expert like Brown, so we sent him even though he had not fully recovered.To cut the story short, he was brutally beaten again. Based on what we deduced, he managed to escape into the forest before collapsing. We found his body lying only a few miles away from the fight scene.Maybe if they had searched harder, they would have found her.""And had he woken?" she asked."He woke this morning, but he couldn’t remember a thing. He went back into a coma shortly after, so we can’t rely on him now." The man sighed."Very useless. He failed the first time and still failed the second time. Now how do I know who killed my sister?" She felt like causing a scene."You can’t say he’s useless. You might fare even worse if you were in the same position," the man said seriously."This is not the time to blame anyone," h

"Well, you might not really want to know my identity or who I’m affiliated with," Samuel said in a cold tone, deliberately making it sound as though he possessed a mysterious background that could not be revealed so easily.In reality, he was simply playing along, letting Ugadi believe that impression so he would not find it strange that Samuel possessed a storage artifact that was not a storage bag.Ugadi examined the jug carefully. At this point, he had begun to believe that Samuel truly had created the holy Gail. He could tell at a glance that the jug was a high-grade artifact. Creating something like this required the collaboration of a skilled rune master and a high-level blacksmith, yet Samuel had been alone. That meant he had inscribed the runes himself as well.Such talent was far from ordinary. This realization further strengthened Ugadi’s belief that Samuel might be a disciple of a supreme expert or a member of some hidden, super-ancient family.Samuel opened the jug and pla

“I completely understand you, Frank,” Staten laughed. “And the solution is not raising your voice at a senior before proving him wrong. Why don’t we prove him wrong first, then I can join you in shouting at him.” Staten laughed evilly.Frank frowned. “What nonsense are you even suggesting?”“Well, this of course.” Staten twirled the ring.“You are stupid, Staten. You are clearly supporting the wrong person,” the man who had a scuffle with Ugadi at the beginning said. “We all here respect Frank and know that his words are gold. He is one of the most powerful and influential among us and has contributed greatly, at great personal expense, to ensure that we, the Supernatural Organization of Merika, succeed and prosper. When he speaks, we should listen to him, not some random person whose only advantage is a higher level of cultivation that he uses to intimidate people.” He said the last part while glancing at Ugadi, who did not react.Ugadi was simply smiling calmly as he looked at them

“Yes. Please check on her, boss. There was a night I went to check on her, and what I saw on the bed was a demonic beast. I almost attacked, thinking it had swallowed her whole.The next moment I looked again, it was her. Even someone as powerful as Thesa had been traumatized many times by it. She stopped sleeping in the same room as Willows, but being the kind girl she was, Willows insisted she sleep in the living room instead.She has been staying here since then, and she also sleeps here,” Cesar explained.Samuel sighed deeply. He felt that he had failed her terribly. He had failed both siblings. He had promised Cesar that he would look into his sister’s condition, yet he could not fulfill that promise.“I’m sorry. This is partially my fault,” Samuel said with another sigh.“Nah, I don’t think so. I understand that you haven’t had enough time these days, and you were away on the Divine Beast Continent for a long time. It’s not like you had the chance and chose not to help,” Cesar s

“I can’t find any watch that I like here. I’ll leave first,” he said and walked away.But he did not leave the store immediately. Instead, he headed straight to where Thesa was, selecting clothes or rather, where the salesgirls were selecting clothes for her.He was going to punish Samuel. He would return with the two women he had come with.“What are we doing here, Williams?” his girlfriend whispered.“Shut up and stay to the side. Don’t ruin anything for me,” he warned seriously as he walked toward Thesa.“Hi, pretty. I must admit, your beauty is so captivating that I was smitten the moment I laid my eyes on you,” he began confidently.Thesa frowned and ignored him. If it were up to her, she would have kicked this annoying man away without hesitation. But Samuel had warned her to behave normally, so she endured it.Williams thought she was interested in his flattering words, but he was not satisfied yet. He had not used his ultimate weapon, the one he relied on to win every battle.
