Commander Clayton.”
Sylvester’s pupils shrunk when he heard the name. It was unlikely that Clayton would find out about him so fast which means he had to go deeper in hiding.
With a flick of his wrist, Sylvester removed his weapon from the man’s neck, and grabbed the man by the collar.
Remembering an ancient brainwashing technique, he sliced open his finger, and pressed the first drop on the man’s forehead.
The red-roped man twitched violently but Sylvester’s grip was tighter, and after a while, the man regained the light in his eyes.
“Listen. You will go to your boss and tell him that Sylvester killed all your men, but you activated your trump card just in time, and burnt him to ashes.” Sylvester uttered.
The red-roped man nodded and bowed. Somewhere in his body, his true self knew the truth but there was something blocking him from speaking.
There was also the strange sense of death if he decided to go through that blockage.
“Good. You may leave, and take the body of your men with you.” With that out of the way, Sylvester walked back into the home, and he started thinking.
The cultivation world was really scary. Despite the fact of trying not to attract any attention, someone had still found him out.
Right before he could go deeper, the doorbell rang, and he went to answer it.
“Good day Master. It is I, your beloved disciple.” The person behind the door was a young man, and in his hand was a small box.
Judging from the aura leaking from the box, it had to be something different.
“Gerald. Who told you I was here?” Sylvester raised his brow, this was what he had always wanted to avoid but with this talkative of his student coming here, it was rather inevitable.
“Master! It really is you.” Geral didn’t wait for an invitation before stepping into the house.
“I can’t even sense your level, Master General. It must be because of my very low level. I lack the ability to even comprehend your strength.” Gerald continued, ignoring the fact that Sylvester looked rather pissed.
“You didn’t answer my question or you want me to find out for myself?” Sylvester pinched the skin between his brows.
Gerald smiled, awkwardly dropping the box, “Hozert alerted the secret group chat.” He blurted out, causing Sylvester to roll his eyes.
He should have known that Hozert wouldn’t let the matter die down.
“Thank you for your gift, Gerald. I’d take time to truly enjoy it.” Sylvester smiled, “I remember you own a Housing company right?” He asked, his mind thinking about how he would inform Emily of the new change.
“It’s only because of your wise words and help, Master. I wouldn’t have broken through the Grand Warrior stage, and now I can fight and do a lot of things to support myself.” Gerald was ever ready to fulfill Sylvester’s wish.
“Do you need anything? Master Wright? As long as it involves a home, I can get you anything you want.” Gerald said quickly, bringing out his phone. There was no one who would miss a chance to fulfill the wishes of the Great Grandmaster of the Continental War 1.
“I need a secluded place, to hide me from some sight until I am ready to present myself to the world, and also…”
Before Sylvester could finish his words, Gerald shoved his phone into his face.
“I have the right place; a small cottage where you can get everything you need, from foodstuffs to transportation.” Gerald was all talks but as soon Sylvester raised his hand, he kept quiet.
Sylvester took the phone, and slowly scrolled and in the next minute, he found what he wanted.
Just as he was about to hand over the phone to Gerald, the doorbell rang.
“It’s my wife.” Sylvester gasped, and he looked back but it seemed like the red-roped man had truly carried all his partners, he never expected her to come in so early so he was quite surprised.
“You do not know me!” Sylvester turned to Gerald with a stern look, and the only way he could get the man to listen was to release a bit of his aura.
The door knob twisted, and Emily made her way into the house, she was about to say something when she realized that Sylvester wasn’t alone.
“What’s going on?” Her voice came out in a breathy whisper as she looked from her husband to the stranger in her house.
Sylvester instantly took the initiative, knowing that if Emily got a whiff of what was going on, he would never be able to truly protect her.
“Welcome home, dear. This man said, he was interested in your company and would like to offer a partnership to it and it comes with a house and a good car.” Sylvester smiled, looking pointedly at Gerald who simply nodded. He could never defy his boss.
“Oh wow.” Emily was surprised. Ever since Sylvester got his legs back, there had been various kinds of good news and there were unexpected.
“I don’t know how to say this but I’d like us to discuss this further and I’d like to know if you are interested in what I am offering you.” Gerald took the hint, and handed his business care to Emily.
Sylvester nodded, acknowledging the smartness of his student. Everything was going as planned. He would do his best to convince Emily, while he would also be able to achieve his own goals.
Emily escorted Gerald out and she came back with a letter in her hands.
“I saw this in the mailbox. Grandmother is inviting us for a party? And on behalf of Cullen? Did Cullen win the bet?”
Sylvester frowned when he heard the question. There was no way that loser would win the bet, unless he is on to something devious.

He folded it carefully, slid it into his tactical suit secret pocket, and rose. Otto was already wiping his blade clean on a fallen blocker, his breathing steady, his eyes scanning for danger.“You got what you needed, sir?” Otto asked, his voice low but sharp.“Not sure yet,” Sylvester admitted, patting were he had placed the blueprint on his body. “But it feels… important. Too important to leave behind.”Without another word, they slipped back into the corridor. The carnage was still fresh—bodies sprawled at unnatural angles, blood trailing across the cracked tiles, gunpowder clinging to the air. Neither men looked back.When they stepped outside, it was already early evening. The horizon was smudged with the first hints of sunset. Emily and Katrina stood waiting, their blades stained, their black tactical suit slick with blood. Behind them, Team 2 stood at alert. Emily’s sharp eyes immediately locked onto Sylvester, recognizing the look on his face. “You found something.”Sylvest

“Have you heard from the men we sent out to Jasper's place?” Drake asked Viktor who shook his head. “That's weird. Those men are highly trained. Jasper shouldn't be a problem.” he said thoughtfully rubbing the tip of his dreads between his finger tips. “Sylvester too hasnt shown up for the duel. We can't give the order to the recon team to proceed as planned.” Viktor pointed out. “Hey you… contact the team. Tell them to hold. That anyone who moves without orders will lose his head.” Drake ordered and the person spoken to raced off. Few minutes he returned breathless. “Sir… I can't connect to them.” he said,gaspijg for breath. “What do you mean?” Viktor demanded. “It's either turned off or has bad connectivity.” the man explained. Drake's brow furrowed. “That's new… anyway keep trying.”The man hurried off. “Something doesn't feel right.” Viktor muttered to himself. He looked at the time. It was morning already. Maybe Sylvester got cold feet. ****“We hit at once. Each duo w

“We are moving on with the plan.” he announced to everyone gathered, his eyes landing on each in turn. The room was crowded as Katrina, Gerald who was back, Otto who had come down from the surface with Horzert and Emily stood looking down at the blueprints spread out before them. Each had a grim look on their face as he laid out the plan. “One question.” Otto said, raising up his hand for attention. Sylvester gestured to him to go on. “Let's hear what you have to say.”“What do we about the men lurking outside?” Otto asked, pointing out the window. Sylvester became instantly alert. He closed his eyes and began cultivating, his essence searching and picking out the intruders. Six of them in total, all having the aura of the blockers clan. Damn. He was getting old for him to have missed their poorly disguised aura in the first place. His former self would have picked them out immediately they stepped within the area. Damn. “Everyone wait here. I will be back.” He created an aft

Back in the Underground… “Did you come back with everyone you left with?” Emily asked as soon as Sylvester stepped in through the door. “I know you left with your team who was on standby here in the Underground. Where are they? Where's Gerald?”Sylvester explained. “They are investigating something else. I got done with my investigation before them but we will meeting up later. I left Gerald in charge.” “What about Verity?” Katrina asked anxiously before realizing herself. She gradually recollected herself. Sylvester smiled thinly. “I don't blame you. She was like a sister to you. She is safe and sound. It's thanks to her we will be taking certain actions few minutes from now.”She breathed out in relief and left husband and wife together. “So what's the plan?” she asked as soon as they were alone. “We attack tonight here in the Underground.” Emily's eyes took on a stubborn look. “This time__” Sylvester interrupted her. “This time you are coming along.”The words died in Emi

Next Morning…. “You not going with us. I'm leaving you with Katrina.” Sylvester informed a shocked Emily. Emily couldn't believe what she was hearing. Not this again. “Like hell you are.” she snapped at him, plopping her weapons down on the table between them. “I need you to be safe.” Sylvester tried to make her see reason but she was having none of it. “Like hell you do.” she retorted with the same energy. Sylvester grimaced. “Stop.”“What am I suppose to stop exactly?” she asked, still fuming. “The attitude. It doesn't fit you.”“You should also stop what you trying to do.” she replied. “What am I trying to do exactly?” Sylvester asked her, not quite certain he was on the same page with her. “Leaving me in the dark and treating me with kid gloves. So what if I died a few times? I can take care of myself.”Sylvester threw his hands in the air in exasperation. “See that's just the thing. You are beginning to rely too much on your powers. That's risky and dangerous you know.”

Sylvester didn't know what he was feeling. Hurt, anger, disappointment, betrayal, hatred. They were jumbled together inside of him as he listened to her tell the clans his plans and how to ambush his own clan. “They are getting ready to crack down on the underground as we speak so you all need to act fast. Just don't forget our deal.” Verity was saying and Sylvester felt like someone had twisted a knife in his heart. To think the mole was none other than Verity. But why? Every part of him was itching to crawl out from beneath the floor boards and shake her violently or even wring her slender neck as he asked her what he had done to deserve this betrayal. “I remember your request all too well, young lady.” the same old cracked voice as before said. “What request did she make? We are all in this together so I believe we all have a right to know what she requested, right guys?” another voice challenged and there was a general murmur of agreement. “Silence.” yet another voice
