“Boss, what level is that guy?” Nathan asked, still staring at Boss Pen. “He feels stronger than someone at the late-stage Transformation level… but he’s not a Grandmaster.”“Half-step Grandmaster,” Hudson replied.Nathan’s expression shifted. So the Eonhy Sect really came prepared.Because he’d seen what Hudson could do, and because he knew how dangerous the formation around the villa was, Wei understood the difference. A half-step Grandmaster might sound close to the real thing, but the actual gap in power was massive. Ten half-step Grandmasters attacking together still couldn’t defeat a true Grandmaster.That was why Nathan found himself oddly excited. He wanted to see how these men would react once th

The Villa sat at the very peak of the mountain, overlooking the rest of the valley like a silent guardian. There was only one road leading up to it, a narrow, winding path carved along the ridge.From the terrace outside the pavilion, Hudson and Nathan could clearly see a group of people making their way up the mountain road. Judging from their matching dark uniforms and the symbols embroidered on their jackets, it was obvious they were members of the Eonhy Sect.For the past few days, the sect had been unusually quiet. Nathan originally thought that Patrick and his team had been scared off by Hudson and had decided not to cause any more trouble. But now it was clear the Eonhy Sect wasn’t the type to back down easily. They must have realized that Hudson wasn’t someone ordinary, so they brought someone stronger.Seeing the group return, a flicker of murderous intent flashed across Hudson’s eyes.Soon enough, Patrick and the others stood in front of the main gate of the Villa. But since

Shipments of materials began arriving one after another at Pacific Crest Lodge. Aside from the herbs, stones, and rare items Hudson needed, Nathan had also ordered his men to bring construction supplies, wood panels, metal posts, reinforced wiring, to start building a full perimeter fence around the entire property.Hudson threw himself completely into setting up the formation. His plan was to build five layers around the lodge, four for defense, and one specifically designed to improve the property’s environment and energy flow.The four defensive layers, when complete, would be strong enough to withstand even a grandmaster-level attack.The first layer, the Five Elements Array, was the simplest and easiest to set up. The later ones, however, needed far rarer components and were much more difficult to construct. Their materials were scattered, expensive, and in some cases nearly impossible to find.To speed things up, Hudson contacted Vicente, asking the Sandoval to help search for t

“Boss… are you sure I really need to do this?” Nathan’s voice trembled.He had never dealt with anything like this before. He’d only seen things like “mystical formations” in movies and TV series. But considering Hudson was the one who built it, he knew the danger was real. Even as the former head of the Blue Tiger Crew, someone who had seen a lot, Nathan couldn’t stop the instinctive fear creeping up his spine. What if he didn’t make it out?“What are you afraid of?” Hudson shot him an annoyed look. “You think you’re actually going to die in there?”Then he softened his tone just a little. “Relax. You’re the best person to test it. If the formation can’t handle you, then it’s useless anyway. Don’t worry, I’m watching everything. If anything gets dangerous, I’ll shut it down.”At that point, refusing wasn’t an option anymore. With a stiff smile, Nathan walked off, completely unaware of the small grin curling at the corner of Hudson’s mouth as he watched him leave.When Nathan reached

At the Lewis Residences, Ivory walked around the place, nodding continuously, clearly pleased with what she saw. Arlo had already told her that the Lewis family’s relationship with Hudson must not be broken, so he specifically asked her not to go back home for now and to follow Hudson to their new place.“How is it? You satisfied?” Hudson asked with a small smile.“Very! This place feels so relaxing,” Ivory said, her face glowing with joy.Their eyes met, and something warm flickered between them. They were slowly leaning closer when Ivory’s phone suddenly rang. She glanced at the caller ID, smirked proudly, and hurried downstairs.“The delivery’s here,” she called out before running off.Before they came, Hudson had given her a list filled with unusual materials, things that weren’t easy to find. Since Hudson rarely asked anyone to prepare anything for him, Ivory took it seriously. Price didn’t matter to her, her only instruction to the team was simple, deliver everything fast. As lo

“Don’t!” Patrick clenched his fists hard, silently praying they weren’t talking about the same person.If the man Arthur wanted revenge on was really Hudson, then things were about to get complicated. Moments ago, he had confidently promised to help. If he suddenly turned around and claimed he couldn’t do anything, it would be humiliating.Arthur was caught off guard by Patrick’s hesitant question. A thought flashed through his mind, Could it be the two of them actually know each other?Patrick hadn’t mentioned Hudson’s name outright, he only asked whether the guy’s last name was Brown, and the Lewis family only had one young man with that surname. It clicked for Arthur immediately: they were talking about the same person.Because he still didn’t know what kind of relationship Hudson had with the Shekat Gate captain, he asked cautiously, “Is his last name Brown? Hudson Brown? Are you two friends?”He remembered Enzo telling him that Hudson was a martial artist, and the Shekat Gate wa
