There was a soft knock at the door.Hudson opened his eyes. The moment his vision cleared, he froze for a second, then quickly sat up.“You… why are you here?”He was genuinely surprised. He had assumed it would be Ivory, but instead, Shienna stood at the door.“She asked me to come,” Shienna said calmly.Hudson was instantly speechless.He had thought Hyan was just joking earlier. After all, what woman would willingly share the man she loved with others?Now he realized he had been wrong. Whatever Ivory was thinking… he couldn’t quite understand it.

At that moment, Julo clearly didn’t believe a word Hudson said.There were only two things he cared about: first, whether the dragon was truly dead, and second, if it was, where its body had gone.While Hudson had been unconscious, the Shekat Sect had practically torn apart Valley in California, digging through the area in search of the dragon’s corpse. They found nothing.Knowing Hudson’s skill with formations, Julo had even suspected that Hudson might have hidden the body using some kind of array before passing out.He had been convinced that once Hudson woke up, the truth would come out.But Hudson’s answer was simple, he had collapsed right after killing the dragon. He hadn’t hidden the body,

Roger had always been the one in charge of the White Night Gate’s operations in this part of California.Even after watching Hudson casually slap a second-rank grandmaster to death, Roger’s expression barely changed. He simply replied in a calm, indifferent tone, “If you say so, then sure.”“You were pretty impressive before,” Hudson said with a faint smile.As Hudson walked toward him, Roger smiled back. “Did it feel good?”Hudson nodded. “Yeah. It felt great.”“But in the end… I still have to thank you.”Roger didn’t fully understand what he meant, but he didn’t bother asking. Instead, he seized the moment and struck. A red talisman appeared in his hand and shot forward.Just as it was about to stick to Hudson, Hudson caught it effortlessly, flipped his wrist, and sent it flying back.The talisman hit Roger, and instantly burst into flames.Fire engulfed him in seconds.A scream echoed through the quiet courtyard before his body collapsed to the ground, motionless. Hudson watched qu

Ramil, who had been lunging at Hudson, was suddenly thrown backward as if hit by an invisible force. His body flew through the air and slammed hard into the ceiling.Hudson slowly sat up, his eyes unfocused.He had been asleep for too long, and it took him a moment to fully come back to his senses.“Run!”Ramil, barely recovering after crashing to the ground, immediately realized they were no match. He shouted for the others to retreat.But before any of them could move, their feet felt like they were glued to the floor.No matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t take a single step.An invisible pressure filled the room, so overwhelming that their hands and legs began trembling uncontrollably.A few seconds later, the haze in Hudson’s eyes cleared. He stood up and walked toward one of the Ren family members, locking eyes with him.Something was off.‘So… they’ve really been controlled.’From the strange, unnatural look deep in the man’s eyes, Hudson immediately confirmed it. Ramil a

Roger was a key figure in the White Night Gate.Over the years, the organization had spread its influence far and wide.While the situation in Sandigan Valley wasn’t public knowledge, the White Night Gate had already uncovered it long ago.The dragon had disappeared. And so had the young man who went in, Hudson.When Roger first received the news, he assumed the dragon had burrowed its way out underground… and that Hudson had been devoured.Back then, he had been thrilled. He even called a couple of old friends, opened a rare bottle of wine, and celebrated.Finally, that troublesome kid was gone.But noo, new intelligence

When Ivory first saw Hyan earlier, she had instinctively become cautious.A woman’s intuition told her that this sweet and beautiful girl, if she spent enough time with Hudson, would definitely fall for him.Now, it seemed that instinct had been right.Ivory, who had already come to terms with everything, smiled and teased lightly, “If you can make him like you, I don’t have a problem with it.”Hearing that, Hyan, who had been ready to give up, felt her spirits surge again.Deep down, she made up her mind.She had
