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.

Chapter 95
Sylvester stood at the center of the war room, a faded map of the region stretched out before him, his hands gripping the edge of the table. His gaze, however, wasn’t on the map. It was faraway, sharp with dread and calculation. Around him, his trusted students and commanders gathered, watching his silence with mounting concern.He finally exhaled. “Flyn is dead.”Murmurs broke across the room like a gust of wind. Katherine's eyes widened. Verity’s jaw tightened. Geral stepped forward, brows furrowed.“You’re sure?” Geral asked.“I saw the place myself,” Sylvester replied. “He was murdered in his shop at the black market. There was no struggle. No signs of resistance. Just…poof!” He looked up, voice grave. “Surely, you don’t mean this…” Geral hummed.“I look like I’m joking?”“Where do we even begin to believe something like that?” Geral folded his arms in skepticism.“Well, listen on, would ya?” Sylvester prodded.Geral rolled his eyes subtly.“It was Edrag. And he didn’t just kill
Chapter 94
The sun hadn’t yet kissed the horizon when Sylvester pulled on his cloak, the thick black fabric brushing against his ankles like a shadow trailing his steps. The hood draped low over his eyes, just enough to distort his face. His steps were deliberate, the weight of his dagger hidden beneath his coat adding a subtle rhythm to his gait. But he wasn’t going in for a fight.He was going to find the truth. He only needed a weapon because the black market was that evil.The black market lived beneath the city’s bones, tucked into catacombs and alleyways most wouldn’t dare to whisper about.He didn’t like how coming here always meant he had to be on guard.He really wished he could help the place, but the black market was different from the slums. It was the place purpose built for evil, masked with a rough enclave to make it unappealing to anyone who wasn’t desperate.Because that was who the black market served.The desperate.Stalls stretched endlessly, lined with cursed trinkets, be

The night was thick, masked with the heavy air of tension as the storm raged.Sylvester turned restlessly in bed, his brow slick with sweat despite the coolness of the room. Shadows.He saw shadows…dancing along the walls, flickering in rhythm with the occasional rumble of distant thunder. And then…Nothing.Pitch black. It was a void so silent and absolute it felt like time itself had stopped breathing. In that abyss, Sylvester stood alone. No echoes…no wind. Just him and the crawling chill that traced the back of his neck like a warning.Then came the thunder again. Not from the sky, but from the ground. Deep, guttural, and unnatural. It wasn’t a sound…it felt more like a growl from the belly of something ancient.He jolted upright, eyes wide, breath caught in his throat.Emily stirred beside him, reaching over groggily. “Hold on…you have the ability to dream?” she asked, voice husky. “Much less bad ones.”Sylvester nodded, rubbing the back of his neck. “Not just a dream. This o

Edrag watched himself devolve from a state of slight agitation to a complete mental breakdown.The news that reached him would make anyone crash out, and he was no exception. Everything he thought he was, Sylvester was reported as being better, and as far as he knew, he wasn’t even grandmaster yet.No one could recover back to grand-master after such an accident as Sylvester had.It was impossible.And yet, his spy was in front of him, trembling with news that made his ears bleed.“Say it again,” Edrag commanded.The spy’s voice trembled. “S-Sylvester’s students… they’ve recruited more men. There was a clan that had been involved in some shady deals. Another sect master had been investigating them, and he was being dealt with, and as soon as Sylvester got wind of it…he and his men went in. Not one single unintended casualty.”Edrag hated the last part of the statement.It was almost a mockery…a praise on how efficient of a job Sylvester could do.He didn’t need to know that.Edrag exh
Chapter 91
Outside, the wind was quiet, as if the world had paused to acknowledge what had just transpired. The moonlight filtered in and shared its unjudging rays on the fighters, painting them a tad lighter than the frown etched on their grim faces. Genevieve ran into her father’s arms before Sylvester could even say a word. Lincoln caught her in a tight hug, his large hands cupping the back of her head as if making sure she was really there. “I thought I lost you,” Lincoln said, voice rough like gravel under boot. His eyes were red-rimmed but proud, locked on his daughter as though seeing her for the first time again. “I told you I’d be okay,” Genevieve mumbled into his shirt. “He promised.” Lincoln looked up at Sylvester, their eyes meeting in a silent exchange. Gratitude. Respect. Guilt. When Genevieve finally pulled back, her smile faded into something more serious. “Dad...where did you meet a guy like that?!” she pointed to Sylvester. “He’s a master planner! I mean…the set-up…the
Chapter 90
The door splintered inward with a violent kick, wood flying, and Sylvester charged through like the force he had promised to be. The two guards stationed beside Genevieve’s makeshift prison barely had time to raise their weapons before he was on them. One lunged at him with a dagger, but Sylvester ducked low, drove his elbow into the man’s ribs, and twisted sharply. Bones cracked, the sound followed by a gut wrenching scream. The other pulled a gun, but Sylvester, despite the dull ache in his side, moved faster. He grabbed a shard from the broken door and flung it like a dagger, striking the man’s hand. The weapon clattered to the floor. He pounced before the man could recover, sweeping his leg out and slamming him to the ground. A swift punch to the jaw ended the struggle. Breathing heavily, Sylvester turned to Genevieve. Her eyes widened as she took in his face, almost like she was looking at an angel. Sylvester tilted his head and flashed her a smile. “You came,” she whisper
