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

A faint red glow began to pulse beneath Hudson’s chest.If someone looked closely, they would see it, the dragon-shaped jade pendant hidden beneath his skin, faintly shining.As the red light flickered, something strange happened.A thin layer of black scales briefly appeared across Hudson’s body, then vanished just as quickly, like an illusion.“Hm…?”Shienna stirred in her sleep. She felt something was off.Her eyes opened slightly, and for a brief moment, she saw a faint red glow coming from Hudson’s chest.She glanced around the room, confused.Everything seemed normal.After a moment, she shook her head lightly and closed her eyes again.But sleeping like that, slumped over the bedside, was uncomfortable.She hesitated for a second… then made up her mind.Carefully, she climbed onto the bed and lay beside Hudson, gently holding his arm as she drifted back to sleep.Time passed quietly.The Shekat Sect quickly mobilized and released an official explanation for what had happened.A

In the blink of an eye, several bodies hit the ground.They were dead before they even understood what had happened.The Shekat Sect members stared wide-eyed, unable to close their eyes even in death. None of them could comprehend why the Ninth Elder, Julo, had suddenly turned on them.Without hesitation, Julo dragged their bodies deeper into the cave and threw them into the same pit where the dragon had once been sealed.He didn’t stop there.After finishing, Dein stepped forward. Taking a deep breath, he suddenly launched himself upward like a missile and struck the ceiling of the cave with immense force.The impact shook the entire cavern.Rocks and debris rained down, crashing into the pit and quickly filling it. At the same time, a large opening formed above, connecting the cave to the outside.When it was done, the scene looked completely different, chaotic, collapsed, and empty.As if something massive had broken free and escaped.The two men turned and walked out without anoth
