Samuel's group stopped in a small town near Heavenspire. He wanted to refine and consume the pill before heading into the city.They entered an inn that also served as a restaurant."Welcome to Evergreen Inn. Would you like to rent a room, or are you looking for something to eat?" a middle-aged man asked as soon as they walked in."Get us four rooms," Samuel said directly."With them too?" the man asked, glancing at the two-headed Minotaur and the fox."Yes. The four of us. Is there a problem?" Samuel replied as he handed over a bag full of energy stones.The middle-aged man weighed the bag in his hand before nodding."All right, sir. Follow me. We have four rooms close to one another, and they were thoroughly cleaned this morning. I'm sure they'll suit your needs. I'll also have people bring food and wine up for you.""You can send food to the other rooms, but don't come near my room," Samuel warned."Of course, sir. I understand." The man nodded quickly.Samuel's group was led upsta

The city gate guards looked curiously at the approaching group. Their gazes lingered briefly on Mia and Kael because of their unusual appearances, especially the two-headed Minotaur.Three guards immediately stepped forward and blocked their path."Please go back to the line," they demanded in cold voices."Let me handle this." Carson stepped forward."I heard that Ancestor-level powerhouses don't need to queue up, right?" he asked as he slowly released his aura.The guards' expressions changed instantly, their eyes widening in shock."I didn't realize, sir. You may enter, but as for your companions, you can only bring two people with you. Of course..." He smiled meaningfully. "It's still possible for all of you to enter at the same time."Carson understood what he meant. He looked at Samuel, wondering whether they should simply reveal everyone's strength, but Samuel gave him a slight nod.Carson took out a bag of energy stones and handed it to the guards. They accepted it with knowin

Your words make total sense." Logan nodded before turning to Emily's sister."Cara, take him to the main hall. I'm going to call a meeting now," Logan instructed."Alright, I will do as you instructed, Grand Elder Logan." She nodded.Logan hurried away."Follow me, Grand Inquisitor Samuel," she said.Samuel, Nina, Carson, Kael, and Mia followed her."So, Grand Inquisitor, are you really that Samuel from Merika?""Hmm." Samuel nodded."According to the rumors, your bone age hasn't even reached fifty years. Is that true?" Cara asked curiously."Yes, it's true," Samuel answered patiently.Cara wanted to ask more questions, but she forced herself to hold back, afraid of sounding like a fangirl. Emily, however, had no such restraint."Do you know that you're famous here? Many people have imagined what you look like, while others claim your story is fabricated. But Mobius and a few other heaven geniuses insist they've seen you fight and that you're every bit as powerful as the rumors claim.

"Everything here is being recorded and will be sent to the supernatural organization in every city across the world. If the loser refuses to honor the bet, they will be expelled from every supernatural organization and branded as someone without honor.You will no longer be allowed into any city or kingdom where a supernatural organization exists. You will be cast out and avoided like the lepers of legend."After finishing his speech, he began drafting a contract. Once it was complete, he signed it before passing it to several other important figures, who added their signatures one after another.After everyone had signed, the contract was brought before Samuel and Cara."The rules are simple. The first person to cross the round stairs of the main stage will be considered to have crossed the boundary, and that counts as an automatic loss. If you defeat your opponent to the point where they can no longer fight back, or they surrender involuntarily, it's a win," Logan explained.Carson

Samuel found the new mansion by describing its location to Cara.She helped him find it effortlessly.Samuel was impressed by the mansion the moment he saw it. Using the crystal ball as proof that he was the new owner, he officially registered the property with the city.It was the proper thing to do, even though ownership had already been transferred to him. If he didn't provide proof and register it, the former owner would still be recognized as the legal owner."This mansion is very nice. I wonder how you managed to get a mansion before even arriving here," Cara said curiously.Samuel only smiled and said nothing."You can all take any room you like. The house is vast. Tomorrow, I want you to help us hire servants to keep this house running," he said to Cara."Yes, Master." She bowed."Good. You can go now.""Sam, I picked the perfect room for us," Nina said."Us?" Cara muttered.Only then did she realize the two of them were together.The next day, Samuel woke up early and got rea
