Chapter 145
Both vomited a large amount of blood—dark red coming from their mouths, soaking their black robes, dripping onto the rooftop surface in a steady sound.We... we're being killed?!Killed this easily?!Two Elders of the Eternal Black Dragon Sect, defeated by something not even a third the size of their bodies?That thought, if it could even be called a structured thought in their current state, crossed their minds in a way they could no longer process properly.Rex pulled both blades out of their bodies.More blood came out, gushing harder than before, flowing freely from wounds now open with nothing holding them shut.Both bodies went limp where they were, lying on the rooftop surface with breathing that had already turned into something shallow and irregular.No will left to fight remained in either of them.And at that point, Rex stepped toward Lu first.One small hand gripped the man's neck. Not hard enough to strangle directly, but enough to maintain the contact he needed.The next

Five minutes passed.Sweat began soaking Xiao's forehead—not just from physical exhaustion, but from the frustration of someone who had already deployed every technique she had and still failed to land a single graze on an opponent whose size should have made him far easier to catch.Lu had also started panting. His breathing irregular, his arms already feeling heavy from swinging that heavy sword repeatedly with no result.Rex, on the other hand, showed no sign of fatigue whatsoever."You two have tried very hard." He said while dodging one more combined attack, jumping to a higher point on the roof. "But it's all useless.""SHUT UP!" Xiao attacked again, this time with anger already replacing the precision of her technique.Rex dodged it easily—too easily, in a way that made that attack look like slow motion compared to his own speed.He landed in the middle of the rooftop, looking at both Elders who now stood with breathing no longer steady, their swords still raised but the hands
Chapter 143
Both blades shot toward Rex from two sides at once—Xiao from the left, Lu from the right, at angles already calculated to leave no room for escape in any direction.Both pictured the same outcome: the blade piercing that small flesh, the tip emerging from the other side, problem solved before it began.But that didn't happen.Rex raised both his small hands—fingers no longer than a child's pencil closing around each blade at a speed his body that age shouldn't have possessed.Both blades stopped midair, gripped tightly between those small fingers, without a single drop of blood coming from the palms holding them."So weak."A mocking smile appeared on a face that should only have been capable of smiling innocently.Xiao and Lu felt anger rise fast. Not ordinary anger, but the anger of two Elders of a great sect who had just been insulted by something not even a third of their height.Both pulled their swords.But nothing moved.They pulled harder, exerting full strength, spiritual ene

The Presidential Suite's balcony at three in the morning was a different place from the same balcony in daylight.No more sound of the busy city, just lights that never went dark, the occasional sound of a vehicle passing on the street below, and air that had dropped several degrees since the sun had been out.Caelan sat cross-legged there.Not a fully calm meditation. His body settled into the rhythm of meditation, but one part of his senses stayed open outward, monitoring the radius he could reach, reading air pressure and energy vibrations that might indicate something that shouldn't be there.Sleep wasn't a wise choice tonight.Three people from the mysterious sect were in the bedroom inside. The old man was very likely still at the Sterne family residence. And he was already experienced enough to understand that a night that felt calm didn't mean it was a safe one.Inside the suite, Rex had already fallen asleep on the sofa in a way that had nothing to do with the tension of the
Chapter 141
The living room of the Sterne family residence was still lit even though the time had already passed midnight.Light from the chandelier, never switched off before everyone in the house had gone upstairs, fell across expensive furniture, and not one of the people sitting inside was paying attention to that luxury.Daven sat on the left sofa in a way that showed he could no longer maintain a straight posture—one arm on the sofa's armrest, his eyes on a point on the floor with nothing there. Brock on the right, hands clenched on his thighs, not moving but not entirely still either, because something in the set of his jaw showed his mind was working more actively than his body let on.Cedric and Edvard sat on different sides—both already not bothering to hide that they didn't know what to hope for.Two hours.Ixia had never spent more than two hours on something that shouldn't have needed two hours.Neither had Selena.And Ethan, who in his last assignment had been able to complete an ex

Rex followed with small steps. "So that's how it is.""Yes.""Hmm." The small child walked alongside Caelan, his expression neither judging nor neutral. "Papa, I want to say something about that sword."Caelan turned toward him."The energy inside it isn't from this world, same as me." Rex said it in a way that wasn't dramatic but wasn't light either. "And something from a different world, when it exists in a world that isn't its origin, tends to find ways to sustain itself by drawing from what's around it." His eyes went to the sword in Caelan's left hand. "And I'm worried it will start with whatever's closest."Closest.Caelan didn't need Rex to explain any further to understand what that meant."I'll keep that in mind."Rex gave one nod—serious, brief, the manner of someone who had said what needed to be said and didn't need to repeat it.At that point, Caelan crouched beside Selena.Her shirt sleeves had already soaked red at two points—not gushing, but not stopping on their own e
