A man in white robes stepped forward from the group.A warm smile rested on his face."You shouldn't have chased it that far."Samuel looked at him silently."You could have been ambushed," the man continued. "You need to think about your safety first."Samuel shrugged."Well, there's no way they could have ambushed me when they were literally trying to escape the city."The man chuckled."You are right."He extended his hand."My name is Dong Dong, the current City Lord of Heavenspire City.""City Lord Dong?"Samuel frowned."To be frank, it's not nice to meet you."The surrounding crowd immediately fell silent.Even the City Lord looked surprised."Why would you say something like that, Sir Samuel?" he asked."Someone once threatened me using your name. Hearing it again made me angry."The City Lord's expression darkened."Who dared to do such a thing? Tell me, and I will punish him.""His name is Abel. I think he's your cousin or something."The moment the name left Samuel's mouth,

Walker watched as the contracts were signed and the pills were sold to those hundred people.The crowd grew tense. Everyone waited. Waited for the next item.The same question echoed through everyone's mind."Is it real?"No one had truly believed that Golden Core and Grandmaster Magus Realm Breakthrough Pills existed. Yet now, they had watched them being sold with their own eyes. But this one was different.A pill capable of allowing anyone below the Third Level of the Nascent Realm or Archmagus Realm to advance by an entire level wasn't merely a treasure. It was something that could reshape the balance of power and strengthen countless factions.The attendant stepped forward once more."This time, we have the Nascent Realm and Archmagus Realm Breakthrough Pills. I assure you, this is the only place in the world where you can obtain such pills, so don't bother looking elsewhere.""At a price of twenty million energy stones, one can be yours. There are only ten available today, and we

"Carson, both you and Kael are now powerhouses. With the techniques I'll teach you, the two of you will be unmatched within your level, and if you train diligently, you may even be capable of holding your own against those in higher realms," Samuel said, addressing them both."Mia will also stay here. She's a Level Three High Beast, so her presence alone is enough to deter anyone. The three of you will be in charge until I return. I've left a large amount of my Aether qi with Mia, so the production of the Holy Grail artifacts must continue at full capacity," he instructed.Extracting such a massive amount of Aether qi had drained him over the past few days. Fortunately, only a tiny amount was needed to produce a large number of Holy Grail artifacts, so he was confident that even if they were away for a long time, production would continue without interruption."Trust us, Master. We'll do our best to take care of the mansion and the Nova Shop," the three of them said in unison."That's

The sharp-curved-beak bird suddenly became alarmed as the tattoo on Samuel's arm peeled away from his skin and transformed into a black fox with nine majestic tails.Even Timothy was left speechless.The moment the fox appeared, the bird felt an overwhelming pressure descend upon it like a mountain.It cackled frantically, its entire body trembling with unease."What's happening?" Timothy asked in confusion.Samuel didn't answer. He wondered why Nyx had come out. Unless something serious had happened, she preferred to remain inside his body, lazily feeding on his energy rather than bothering to show herself. Nyx was simply that lazy.Nyx began communicating with the bird through spiritual consciousness.The bird's eyes suddenly lit up."You mean... if I accept him as my master, I'll be able to feed on his energy, the pain tormenting me will disappear, and I might even evolve?" it asked eagerly.Nyx nodded proudly."But..." The bird hesitated. "I don't want to serve anyone. I want to b

A massive bird soared toward Kelp City, a well-known city that, while prosperous, was not counted among the four major cities.The giant bird landed just outside the city gates. Long lines of people waited patiently to enter, though the crowd was nowhere near as overwhelming as the endless queues outside Heavenspire City.Samuel and Nina headed straight for the city guards, with Roi following closely behind.This time, Samuel simply handed over his identity cards.The guards' expressions changed the moment they saw his rank. Surprise flickered across their faces, but they were seasoned professionals. None of them voiced their thoughts."You may enter, esteemed sir and madam," one of the guards said respectfully.Samuel nodded, but another thought crossed his mind."Do you happen to know where the other powerhouses have gathered?"The guard's eyes immediately lit up."Is this about the new dimension? I know where the meeting is being held. One of us can even escort you there.""That wo
