......"Hmm, are you sure you want to threaten me with her?" Aarav's voice cut through the charged air like a blade, his gaze unwavering as he locked eyes with the kidnapper leader.The sharp gleaming knife pressed against Bella's neck added a chilling urgency to the scene.Bella's heart pounded violently; fear paralyzed her, making it impossible to voice even a single plea. The cold touch of the knife on her neck seemed to sear into her very soul.She could only plead with her eyes, hoping Aarav could save her from the clutches of the kidnapper."Step... Step...!""Stop... right there. I am not joking when I said I would slice this girl's neck if you take another step!" The kidnapper leader's threat echoed, attempting to assert control, yet a subtle tremor betrayed his bravado when facing Aarav's relentless approach."And if you do, what do you think would happen to you?" Aarav's steps remained unyielding, bringing him within a two-step distance from the leader.His words served as a reminder to the kidnapper leader about the fate of his men."Think wisely, Mr. Kidnapper. You have a choice: harm her, and you won't live to regret it," Aarav's voice dipped lower, carrying an ominous undertone that sent shivers down the kidnapper leader's spine.The kidnapper leader, trying to cloak his fear with false bravado, scoffed, "You can't intimidate with your petty tricks, you punk. I've dealt with worse."Aarav's eyes narrowed, his retort slicing through the tension, "Worse than me? I doubt that. But go ahead, make your move. Just remember, it'll be your last.""Swoosh!"Aarav seized the opportunity when the kidnapper was momentarily distracted, imagining the scene in his head. With swift steps, he closed the gap and stood beside him."Bamn...Thud...!!" Aarav's elbow landed on the kidnapper leader's side, right on the liver. The impact forced the kidnapper to drop his knife, collapsing to his knees."Ahhh...Cough...Cough....!!"He clutched his stomach, crying out and coughing relentlessly, each breath marked by pain."Ahhh," Bella, her eyes closed in fear, feeling a strong gust of wind pass by."Are you okay... get behind me!" Aarav's calm voice prompted her to open her eyes in surprise. She found Aarav standing in front of her, providing a shield from the kidnapper.'What just happened, how did he do it.' Bella's mind swirled with questions as she looked at Aarav's strong back, feeling a newfound sense of security."Bamn...Ahhhh!""Now then, Mr. Kidnapper! How about spilling who you are and why you tried to kidnap Bella Rossi, the second miss of the Rossi family." Aarav kicked the guy, making him cry out and lie there at his mercy.His words seemed to fall on deaf ears, as the kidnapper continued to convulse, still experiencing seizures and clutching his stomach."Don't make me repeat myself," Aarav's annoyance was palpable as he stood over the guy, his intense gaze conveying the gravity of the situation."Step...!" Aarav stepped over the hand of the kidnapper, pressing his fingers beneath his weight to force him to open his mouth."Ahhhhhh...!" The kidnapper screamed, pain coursing through his crushed fingers under Aarav's leg."How tough...Again...!" Aarav, frustrated by the kidnapper's continued silence, again stepped over the kidnapper's fingers, this time targeting the other hand."Ahhhh....sto...Ahhhh...Stoppppp!" The kidnapper cried out in agony, the double pain now too much to bear. He pleaded desperately for Aarav to cease his ruthless torment."Huh, you feel like talking now!" Aarav, though visibly irritated, halted his steps, watching the kidnapper writhe in pain. His snot-streaked face and tear-stained eyes painted a sorry picture, but Aarav's frustration and fury overpowered any sympathy"Please... I will tell you, hey...!" Aarav, hearing the pleading tone, stopped tormenting the kidnapper leader, standing straight and waiting for him to spill the beans. However, he didn't notice the glint in the eyes of the kidnapper."Swiish....!""Haaaaa...go to hell...!" A whistling sound cutting through the wind alerted Aarav, who noticed the kidnapper suddenly lunging towards Bella, aiming for a fatal blow."Ohh...Nooo!" Aarav felt distressed and angry for letting down his guard against this scum.He reacted immediately, placing himself in front of Bella, who was still in a state where she didn't even notice the attack at all."Ahhh...!"The knife grazed Bella's beautiful left hand near her shoulder. A sharp gasp escaped her lips as pain etched across her face."Clang...fuck you bastard!"Aarav, his protective instincts heightened, glared at the kidnapper, a storm of anger brewing within him."You coward! What have you done!" Aarav's voice thundered through the room, his eyes ablaze with a mixture of fury and concern."Hahahahahha! This is what you get for cornering me, but I still failed to leave a deep scar on her, hahaha!" The kidnapper laughed sinisterly, his voice resonating with madness as if he had lost his mind at that very moment.Aarav couldn't shake the disturbing feeling that perhaps his kick had landed too heavily on the kidnapper."Thud...!" "Damn it...now I won't know why he was after Bella!" Aarav cursed as he witnessed the kidnapper fall to the ground right after his maniacal laughter."Shit...Ahh, are you all right!" Aarav cursed under his breath a few times before he went back to see if Bella was alright.Bella had a pained look on her face, almost on the verge of crying, the wound had already started to bleed a little."Tearing sound...!""Right, here this will do for now!" Aarav tore a piece of cloth from his shirt before carefully covering the wound.Just as he was done with the first aid, Suddenly he felt a few presences coming from behind not much distance from them."Click....click...click...!""Stop...hands up, put Your hands in the air, and don't move!" Loud, multiple clicking sounds were heard, followed by a stern warning, making Aarav freeze and turn around in shock.He saw four figures in uniform, guns aimed at him. Ready to fire, with a sinking feeling, Aarav thought he was in deep shit seeing them.............

330. Getting Ambushed Right After Landing
............Just as Aarav and Marcus took the lead to enter the center of the Sylvanus Domain, on another side from them, another fifty large ships came to a stop."My Lady, we have arrived. The coast is clear; we will search the perimeter while the others disembark the ships," a few men reported before they got down, immediately stepping down from the ship to start searching around the area for any danger."Emilia, are you alright... we should take a little rest. If the area is clear of any danger, then we can meet up with Mr. Aarav and Mr. Marcus," Aria asked first, pressing her hand on Emilia's shoulder before suggesting they look at the clear coast to avoid any kind of danger."It's alright, and it's not like you haven't exerted yourself either. As for rest, we do need to consider it looking at everyone's condition," Emilia shook her head, smiling back at Aria, who was also sweating a little from the exertion of energy.Aria observed their men's condition and found that most of
329. Landing on the Orion Domain
............From the center ship, Aarav watched the chaos ahead and squinted his eyes as he noticed something on the sea creatures.His eyes glowed with a faint, divine light as his newly refined fourth-stage perception mapped out the battlefield. He could see exactly where the warriors' muscles were tearing from the heavy impacts and how the sea monsters were getting mopped back into the sea.In all the sea monsters, he noticed that same disgusting and foul energy coming from their bodies which he had seen during the last fight against Sylvanus's men.Just then, a massive, sperm-whale-like beast breached right in front of Aarav’s ship, its shadow looming over the deck. It opened its cavernous mouth, preparing to swallow the front of the ship whole."You really picked the wrong opponent," Aarav muttered, and was about to unleash his newly developed attack, but someone beat him to it.Aarav didn't have the brute physical strength of the warriors, but his control over his divine heali
328. Reaching Orion's Domain
............After two weeks of traveling on the sea, the Orion Warriors finally neared their destination."My Lord, we see Sylvanus' Domain up ahead!" Grandel shouted with an excited expression toward their Lord Marcus, who was sitting comfortably on the deck while munching on a large fish which they had caught not long ago.He have some refined taste, eating the fish after frying it over an open fire at a high temperature."Oh... have we arrived already?" Marcus looked up and muttered, hearing Grandel's shout he got up before throwing away the half-eaten fish.The journey was quite uneventful most of the time but they did came across some troublesome sea creatures, which was quickly handled by the True Warriors.Marcus occasionally oversaw the training of his warriors, even though they were on the ship surrounded by the sea but cause of Aarav atleast they avoided getting injured.Beside treating training manics, Aarav was, almost all the time, meditated on the deck of another ship,
327. Orion Domain Warriors
............"Nothing much. It's just that our Lord Marcus organizes sparring matches for competitive purposes from time to time, and these kinds of injuries are common here," Grandel explained, scratching his head. He didn't know that Aarav was quite surprised to hear the calm tone in his voice, wondering if broken bones and tendons were considered common here, what a serious injury might be.Shaking his head to clear those unnecessary thoughts, he started to treat them one by one.But after treating just a few men, he felt it wasn't efficient enough, so he started using an area-of-effect heal to deal with a large number of people in less time. Even though it took a large amount of energy out of him, it needed to be done to save time.Half a day later, he had healed everyone before asking Grandel to lead him to the next location."Yes, Lord! As you asked previously, I relayed your orders to my subordinates and they have efficiently executed them. We only need to reach the next locat
326. Getting Marcus to Join
............The Lioness City was also known as the border guardian city of the Orion Domain, much like Quartzgate in the northern part of Elandor's Domain.Just as Aarav and the True Warrior Order arrived near the city, they were greeted by a massive, 50-meter-tall wall surrounding the area, with a huge gate where people were entering and exiting.Grandel took the lead, saying a few words to the guards which allowed them to pass uninterrupted into the city."Hmmn, it sure is lively," Aarav commented, looking at the passing people who were busy preparing for the upcoming feast."Today is a big event, as Lord Marcus has organized a massive feast in order to welcome you, Lord," Grandel said, gesturing for him to follow along.Looking at most of the men and even women he encountered on the street along the way, Aarav was quite surprised to see that their physiques were so burly.When he observed their bodies a bit closer, he understood why that was.Almost all people in the Orion Domain
325. Leander Leo
............"Clash...!!""What... What's going on...!!" they hurriedly opened the door and entered the cottage, asking in anxious voices."Huh... you are...!!" Just as they entered rudely without informing the owner, the owner—an old man with golden hair, a healthy complexion, and bright eyes—stared back at them in confusion.Leander Leo, Patriarch of the Leo family, wondered who these people were, as he felt a slightly familiar presence from them."Ahh... our apologies, Patriarch Leo. We are the True Warrior Order, who serve the Lord Heir. And I am Grandel, Chief of these men. Once again, we apologize for disturbing your family outing, but we were given a specific task from Lord Marcus himself." The burly man stepped forward and bowed in apology together with his men before he introduced himself and explained why they were disturbing them."Oh... I remember you, Chief Grandel. No need to apologize; it was my fault for reacting like that, which alerted you guys. Please be at ease; y
