Inside the Jill family's reception hall, Haldo treated Hudson with the utmost respect. He personally invited him to take the main seat, behaving almost like a servant attending to an honored guest.Hudson didn't bother with formalities and simply took the seat offered to him. Once he was settled, he glanced at Reilan with a hint of surprise.“You revealed your identity?”Even before Brandon had taken him away, Hudson had already been curious about Haldo's intentions. The two families had no previous relationship with him, yet Haldo had willingly stepped forward and offered to take their side. There had to be a reason behind his unusual behavior.Now that he had seen how respectfully Haldo treated him, Hudson had a pretty good idea what had happened. Reilan must have revealed some of her strength, allowing Haldo to recognize that she was a Grandmaster. That would explain why the head of the Jill family was treating them so politely.Reilan shook her head and gave him a wry smile. “He r

“Because!”Hudson suddenly straightened in his seat, his expression turning serious. “I simply don’t like you. Is that so hard to understand? Just because you're a Grandmaster, you think you're invincible? You act as though everyone’s life is in your hands and you can do whatever you want.”Some things needed a reason. Others didn't.From the moment they first met, Brandon's arrogant attitude had rubbed Hudson the wrong way. He knew that unless he got Brandon to reveal what had happened earlier, the proud old man would never let the matter rest.There was another reason, too. Brandon kept calling him a “little kid,” as though he were some elderly man with decades more experience. If an eighty- or ninety-year-old man called him that, Hudson might have accepted it. But Brandon was only in his fifties. He had no right to act as though Hudson were a child.For that reason alone, Hudson had already decided that Brandon was not leaving the room alive.Brandon was clearly caught off guard by

Hudson naturally understood what Reilan was thinking. He could tell from the murderous look in her eyes that she was already considering how to deal with Brandon and his people.However, not every problem required her to get her hands dirty. Sometimes, it was better to let others bring trouble upon themselves.With a faint smile, Hudson gently pressed the back of Reilan's hand, silently asking her to calm down. "Don't do anything reckless. We shouldn't make things difficult for this kind-hearted gentleman."He gave her hand another reassuring squeeze before adding, "I'm only going with them for a little while. I'll be back soon."Under the watchful eyes of the two family leaders, Reilan had no choice but to suppress her murderous intent. She obediently nodded, although she still wasn't entirely happy with the arrangement.She didn't understand why Hudson had decided to go along with Brandon's demand, but she trusted him. If he had chosen to do this, he must have had a reason.Besides,

The harsh screech of brakes filled the air as the vehicles came to a sudden stop. One after another, they positioned themselves around Hudson and Reilan, forming a tight circle that left the two with nowhere to go.The car doors swung open, and a large group of people stepped out. Their sharp, intimidating gazes immediately settled on Hudson and Reilan. Judging by their clothes and the way they carried themselves, they were members of a martial arts family.The crowd soon parted, making way for a middle-aged man with one eye covered. He strode toward the pair with an arrogant expression, looking them over as though they were already under his control."Hey, kid. You two saw the strange phenomenon that happened here earlier, didn't you?" the man asked. His name was Brandon.Hudson and Reilan exchanged a brief glance. They found the man's attitude rather amusing, but neither showed it. Instead, they simply nodded."Yes, we saw it," Hudson answered.Brandon nodded in satisfaction. The fa

The Sealed Heaven Realm was a space that isolated everything inside it from the outside world. Nothing within its boundaries could affect anything beyond them. However, the moment Hudson brought the wooden statue out of the Fengtian Realm, it seemed to break free of whatever had been restraining it. Before he could react, the statue slipped out of his grasp and rose into the sky, hovering high above them.A brilliant blue light suddenly burst from the statue, growing brighter by the second until it became almost impossible to look at directly. The glow was so intense that it resembled a second sun hanging in the sky. With the blazing sun above them and the blue one shining below it, the sight was nothing short of extraordinary.Hudson's heart tightened. He immediately tried to rush toward the statue, hoping to catch it before anyone else noticed the commotion. He knew all too well that such a spectacle would attract unwanted attention, especially if the blue light continued to grow st

After returning to the Andaya family, Arvin reported everything that had happened to Hudson.Hudson’s way of thinking was much like Arvin’s. He believed that opportunities belonged to those who were willing to make the right choices and take the necessary risks. Those who refused to take risks but still expected to reap the rewards without making any sacrifices weren’t worthy of his help.Hudson had never liked interfering too much in other people’s affairs. When Arvin asked him about the Andaya family’s future development, Hudson simply told him to manage the family as he saw fit. He wouldn’t interfere with their decisions, but he had one clear expectation: the Andaya family needed to grow stronger as quickly as possible.Once Arvin had finished copying the cultivation techniques and other materials Hudson had provided, Hudson gave him a few brief instructions before leaving with Reilan.However, shortly after the two departed, Johar and the three men who had chosen to leave the Anda
