Kevin decided not to go out immediately to follow the Lontaan family. He was still hungry. And the french fries that the waiter had just served at his table looked very appetizing. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, with just the right sprinkling of salt and spices.Kevin picked up a chair from the restaurant, lifted it with one hand, and walked casually toward the front door of the inn. In his other hand, he carried a large plate of french fries still steaming.Outside, the scene was already very tense. The Lontaan family stood lined up on the front porch of Dragon Inn in a formation that showed readiness for their final battle. Leo Lontaan stood in the center, even though his wounded body had to lean on Roni's shoulder. Behind them, family members still able to stand took their stances with faces already resigned but determined.Soraya stood beside her grandfather with a short sword drawn in her hand. Her eyes, which had been full of hope when speaking with Kevin earlier, ha

Over there, the Lontaan family had already finished off the cultivators who had lost their powers.The leader of the Dananjaya family, who was at the twelfth level of the Celestial Core realm, and several of his members who had not joined the attack earlier were still standing in their places, their faces completely changed.The arrogance and self-confidence that had filled his face earlier had now been replaced by a fear he could no longer hide.But Kevin did not care about them. He just sat down and ate his potatoes with great satisfaction.Soraya, who was standing on the terrace, looked at Kevin with tears streaming down her face and a very wide smile. She lifted her face to the sky and whispered."Thank you, God. You truly heard my prayer. You sent an extraordinary helper for my family."Leo Lontaan, who was still leaning on Roni's shoulder, looked at Kevin sitting and eating potatoes with an expression that was very difficult to describ

The sound of heavy footsteps came from the emergency staircase leading to the roof. Kevin did not turn around because he had already sensed that person's presence several minutes ago.Erastus, the owner of the Dragon Inn, emerged from the emergency staircase door with slightly labored breath from climbing the stairs. His plump body with a thick mustache was not suited for climbing steep stairs at night. But he forced himself up to the roof, and Kevin could sense that there was a very important purpose behind his effort."A nice spot to enjoy the view," Erastus said as he walked closer to Kevin and sat down beside the large dragon carving, his breath still heavy.Kevin turned slightly and looked at Erastus. All this time, he had regarded this innkeeper as an ordinary plump man running a business in the middle of the desert. But now, in the silence of the night with only the stars as witnesses, Kevin sensed something different about Erastus. Something that had bee

"The White Lotus Organization is the largest underground organization that has ever existed. Not just a local mafia or an ordinary criminal syndicate. This is a network that spans many countries, with branches in every major and minor city across the cultivation world. They are involved in everything, from black market trade to security services, from gambling to smuggling rare goods."Erastus raised his finger. "But what sets the White Lotus Organization apart from other underground organizations is its leader. According to the stories I have heard, the supreme leader of the White Lotus Organization is a girl who never appears older than seventeen."Kevin felt his heart beat faster. A sensation he very rarely experienced."That girl," Erastus continued, "is known by many names in various places. But her real name, according to sources I trust, is Mayang Terurai."Kevin closed his eyes. His hand, resting on his knee, clenched without him realizing it.

The first and second days passed without any significant movement from the Dananjaya family. The Lontaan family used that time to recover and repair their damaged building. Leo received better medical care from the healers in Filemon city, and his condition began to improve significantly.Kevin spent those two days roaming around Filemon city, photographing various sights, and enjoying the local cuisine. He discovered that the French fries in Filemon city were made in a different style from what he had eaten at the Dragon Inn, seasoned with typical Eastern region spices that gave a unique spicy flavor. Kevin enjoyed this variation.On the second night, Kevin sat in a chair in front of the main gate of the Lontaan family compound. He had just finished dinner and was gazing at the night sky of Filemon city, which was not as beautiful as the desert sky due to the city's light pollution.That was when his primordial spirit detected something. A large group of people
