Only one person had come.Based on the aura Hudson sensed, the man was a half-step grandmaster, someone who already had one foot in the grandmaster realm.Hudson stood near the gate, watching the distant road with confusion in his eyes.According to the information Vicente had provided earlier, the strongest member of the Nelson family was only a fourth-rank grandmaster.That made Hudson wonder if the man approaching was someone the Nelson family had hired for help.After all, the Nelson family had remained silent for two straight days. They probably understood that ordinary grandmasters weren’t enough to deal with him, so they may have brought in someone stronger.Soon, the man appeared on the road directly outside the entrance.A powerful martial artist forcing his way into the formation around Seaside Pavilion would consume energy and damage the formation itself. Since that kind of trouble could easily be avoided, Hudson walked out personally to meet him at the gate.“You’re Hudson

As the sun set over Calexito City, every major martial arts family in the city was shaken by shocking news.“What? Edan was killed?”“Who the hell has the guts to kill someone from the Nelson family?”“Looks like Apollo, that old tiger who’s been lying low for years, is finally coming out again.”…The Nelson family held significant influence in Calexito City, and even though Edan was known more for causing trouble than accomplishing anything, his status within the family was undeniable.Now that he had been killed, everyone understood one thing clearly, Calexito City was about to erupt into chaos.Inside the Carter family estate, Owen still sat weakly on the floor.Olivia’s cold body lay in front of him.On the other side, Oliver knelt silently, tears running down his face.He knew very well that if not for him, his sister never would have died.At that moment, he deeply regretted both his obsession and his weakness.Meanwhile, Owen’s heart was filled with endless regret.The bloody

Edan… was dead just like that.Olivia sat collapsed on the floor, her entire body trembling. The sickening sound of Edan’s neck being crushed still echoed in her ears.The moment she realized something was wrong, she had still believed Edan could rely on the power of the Nelson family to protect him.No matter how strong Hudson was, she thought he wouldn’t dare go too far.But reality hit her hard. Hudson clearly didn’t care about the Nelson family at all.Now that Edan was dead, she knew she would be next.At that moment, Olivia finally realized how foolish she had been from the beginning.Hudson was someone she never should have provoked.After Edan’s death, everyone’s attention shifted to Olivia, whose face was now pale with terror.“M-Miss Ivory…” she stammered as she crawled toward Ivory on her knees. “I know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. Please… please don’t hold this against me.”She didn’t want to die.Her life had only just begun, and right now, she was willing to a

“Move aside!”The guards shouted as they stepped forward.Ivory didn’t move.Shienna immediately stepped beside her, standing shoulder to shoulder as they shielded Hyan behind them.Edan slowly applauded as he stood up from the couch.“What touching sisterhood,” he mocked with a grin. “I’m honestly moved.”“In that case, I won’t wait anymore.”“Let’s get started.”As soon as he spoke, he gave a look to the men he brought with him. The guards immediately understood and quickly left the office, shutting the door behind them.Hyan instantly realized what Edan intended to do.Her face turned pale. She suddenly stepped around Ivory and stood in front of the other two women, her eyes already red.“I’ll do it,” she said through clenched teeth.She had always understood Ivory’s plan.The only reason they had been stalling was to buy time until Hudson arrived.But now, because Ivory and Shienna were protecting her, Edan had shifted his attention toward them instead.Hyan couldn’t accept that.

Olivia kept staring at Ivory and the other two women from Edan’s arms, and the more she watched them, the more something felt wrong.The three women were far too calm.They had clearly seen Edan bring so many people with him, including two grandmasters, yet none of them showed any real fear.Especially Shienna.Not only was she calm, but she even looked bored, as if she didn’t take Edan seriously at all.That uneasy feeling in Olivia’s chest grew stronger.Still, when she thought about the terrifying strength of the Nelson family in San Angeles, she quickly calmed herself down.No matter how capable Hudson was, there was no way he could stand against the Nelson family.Compared to the Nelson family, the Carter family was nothing more than a small local business family.Edan casually played with Olivia’s hair while staring openly at Ivory and the others.The more he looked at them, the more tempted he became.Ivory had a mature and elegant beauty.Hyan was lively and charming.As for S

A day passed in the blink of an eye.Since the three women were all busy outside and none of them were at Omega Villa, Hudson headed to Black Dragon Villa to check on the training progress of the newly recruited members.He had barely arrived when Vicente called him. Vicente had just gone to Omega Villa himself and learned that Hudson wasn’t there.“What’s going on?” Hudson asked directly.“Master Hudson, the Nelson family seems to be planning to make a move against you,” Vicente replied seriously.“The Nelson family?”Hudson frowned slightly. He didn’t remember ever dealing with anyone from the Nelson family before.Thinking it might be inconvenient to discuss over the phone now that Vicente was already in Beverly, Hudson told him to come directly to Black Dragon Villa.At that moment, Nathan also happened to arrive. Hudson turned to him and asked, “There aren’t many families with the surname Nelson in California’s martial arts world, right?”It wasn’t that Hudson was worried about t
