Leron stood frozen, staring at Damian’s limp body hanging in Hudson’s grip like a rag doll. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing.Just moments ago, when Damian had been caught, Leron had assumed he was holding back, letting the situation escalate so he’d have a better excuse to act. After all, Damian was a half-step grandmaster. Dealing with some random young fighter from outside their sect should have been effortless.But now… Leron realized how wrong he had been.It wasn’t that Damian didn’t want to break free.He simply couldn’t.If a half-step grandmaster could be crushed so easily, then Hudson’s strength had to be at least at the grandmaster level, if not higher.As that realization sank in, panic flooded Leron’s eyes.One reason was obvious, Damian was dead. That meant there was no going back. They were now enemies, and Hudson might kill them all to keep this from getting out.The other reason was even worse.If Hudson really was a grandmaster… then none of them were walking o

“What’s the problem?”Hudson looked at the thin young man who seemed to be leading the group and spoke calmly.From the emblem on the man’s jacket, he could tell they were from the northeastern branch of Butienmen. This wasn’t Hudson’s first run-in with them.Back when he was searching for the Divine Stone Herb to treat Arlo at the Sacred Fire Sect, he had crossed paths with Butienmen disciples who were after the same thing. To avoid bringing trouble to the Lewis family, Hudson had killed them and disposed of the bodies without a trace.And now, here they were again.Hudson couldn’t help but wonder, was he just destined to keep running into people from Butienmen?“What did you just pick up?” Damian asked, narrowing his eyes at Hudson. But his gaze kept drifting toward Shienna, lingering on her figure as his throat moved slightly.Hudson reached into his pocket, pulled out two clean fragments, and tossed them over.“This,” he said casually. “There’s more in the grass over there if you

For a long time, Hudson had never been the kind of person who abused his strength to bully others. Even when dealing with arrogant people who liked to provoke fights just because they had a little power, he would usually give them a chance. Only those who refused to back down, or didn’t know when to stop, would meet their end at his hands.Even against the Nine Great Sects, which were known for their power and influence, Hudson felt no fear.If the disciples they sent to Los Angeles kept to themselves, he wouldn’t care which sect they came from. But if they went looking for trouble, then he wouldn’t hesitate.If their sects had failed to teach them properly, then he’d do it himself.And his way of teaching was simple.Knowing Hudson’s nature, Dein didn’t press the issue any further. He understood that Hudson wasn’t someone who sought conflict, but he would never back down from one either.After ending the call, Hudson turned to Hansel.“What’s been happening at Dragon Valley lately?”

Shaun didn’t waste any time and began explaining right away.“The leads have actually been traced for a while,” he said. “I already coordinated with Hansel earlier.”At that, Hansel stepped forward and took over.“At the time, Hudson was still unconscious,” he explained. “We couldn’t risk letting word get out that he was alive.”Even though Julo had eliminated the Shekat Sect members who knew Hudson entered Dragon Valley near Los Angeles, there was no way to completely silence the White Night Gate.No one knew for sure whether they had already learned that Hudson survived. But if they had, it was only a matter of time before they made a move.Julo understood just how powerful the White Night Gate was. If they came for Hudson, he wouldn’t be able to stop them alone.That was why Hansel chose not to pass along any updates at the time.After hearing the explanation, Hudson’s expression softened as he looked at Shaun. He had originally been ready to question why the information hadn’t bee

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,
