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 250
It's been two years already and still no sign of Viktor. Some people were already beginning to doubt if he was really still alive or maybe he had moved on with his life. But Sylvester was sure Viktor still had some grand plan, he was just taking his time, waiting for everyone to relax their guard. One thing was certain though to Sylvester; whenever he decided to act, they won't be caught unprepared. Their stronghold, rebuilt the previous year, towered like a fortress of living steel, its reinforced walls humming with layered defenses that could withstand anything short of a natural cataclysm. Patrol units glided through the courtyard with organized precision, and new recruits trained with a discipline that reflected the very heart of the clan: resilience and purpose. Yet, for all the clan’s power and polish, Sylvester found his real peace not within the fortified walls but in the quiet space of the life he built with Emily. They had learned to balance their roles, leaders by d
CHAPTER 249
No other incident occurred after the reported breach and Sylvester gradually relaxed again, permitting himself to enjoy the peace this time. Finally it was time for Emily to give birth and she successfully delivered a baby boy. Everyone who saw him immediately knew he was going to be a handful. He had Sylvester's hair color and eyes. Sylvester held the small bundle in the crooked part of his arm, smiling at his son. Tears blurred his vision but he blinked them away. He had never been this happy before. Time flew by and Sylvester returned to the clan. He told Emily about it and she readily agreed, stating she was already bored with an ordinary life and was considering suggesting going back. When they arrived at the compound two months after Emily's delivery, they couldn't help but stare openly in awe at how transformed it was. Sylvester walked by slowly, his eyes taking everything in. The once-battered front gates glowed with reinforced steel, the clan's insignia embedded
CHAPTER 248
Two weeks at the resort bled past in bliss. Emily loved every second of it. Sylvester tried to. Truthfully, his body still reacted to every unfamiliar sound, immediately switching to combat mode of its a sound he didn't recognize but still despite that, he was trying his best to be deliberate in the learning process. Every morning, Emily woke up first, humming some songs she remembered from childhood while she flipped through baby name lists on her tablet. Sylvester would lie beside her, pretending he didn’t hear her whispering to the baby or giggling when the baby kicked at random moments. Other times, she dragged him for long walks on the sand, resting often but determined to stay active. It was complete transformation from the corporate woman he knew her as to a carefree dedicated wife and soon to be mother. But despite the peace, something flickered under Sylvester’s skin.. a subtle pull, like an invisible tether back to the clan. He didn’t mention it, not wanting to ruin an
CHAPTER 247
The first morning at the resort felt like waking into a different universe entirely. Soft sunlight filtered through the curtains, painting warm streaks across the walls of the room. For a moment after waking, Sylvester didn’t move, preferring to simply lay there, listening to Emily’s gentle breathing beside him and the distant hum of waves rolling onto the shore. Ah… so this is what peace truly feels like? It was a sensation alien to him. Emily stirred after a few minutes, stretching lightly with a low sigh. Her hand instinctively landed on her belly, and she smiled when she felt the baby kick happily in response to her touch. “You’re awake,” Sylvester murmured, turning his head to look at her. “Barely,” she said with satisfied smile, voice thick with sleep. “Did you sleep any?” “A little.” He admitted. “More than I expected actually.” He didn’t tell her that he had woken up twice, expecting danger, expecting the sharp press of reality to hit him. And each time he’d fo
CHAPTER 246
The first few months after the government ceremonies moved like a slow, unfamiliar breeze through the clan. Everything was calmer, almost unnervingly too calm considering what the clan had gone through. No sudden alarms. No explosions rocking the earth. No orders shouted through smoke. It was the first time in months that Sylvester woke up without the taste of battle lingering at the back of his throat. But he wasn’t entirely at peace yet. He still had a lot of work to do and Viktor to hunt. Only then would he wholly embrace peace. Thanks to the news of their victory against superhuman clones, people were coming in from everywhere with the desire to be members of the clan, including those with the potential to cultivate and the ordinary citizens. Also, the world has officially accepted him as the CEO of Red Dragon and he had fished out those corrupt guards who carried out illegal missions for government officials and handed them over to be punished. Now every platoon leader from
CHAPTER 245
Sylvester barely slept that night. The hotel room the government had arranged for him and his team as they arrived later in the day was comfortable… too comfortable, almost offensive in how pristine it felt after what they had just come from. He sat by the window long after Gerald and Otto had gone to their rooms, watching the city lights glitter like nothing had happened. Like lives hadn’t been lost. Like his clan hadn’t bled for a country that didn’t understand what had truly been lurking beneath its own soil. By sunrise, he was already dressed, the adrenaline of unfinished business pushing him forward. The government had scheduled a “national address and media engagement.” Gerald had read the announcement out loud the previous night, but Sylvester barely reacted. He didn’t care about the cameras. He cared about the truth. He cared about the people who deserved to be honored for their sacrifice. When they arrived at the central government hall, everything felt unnecessaril
