Bagas, who had just woken up, tried to look toward Bintang. He noticed the mask lying on the ground and suddenly remembered being defeated by the masked man.“Y-you…”“Bagas, stop spilling the ruler’s secrets… C-can I still endure this pain?!” Yuga tried to muster his courage. But the sensation of multiple strange poisons gnawing at him made him babble incoherently.“I-I…” Bagas couldn’t find words.“Seems like you two are siblings… Judging from how coordinated you are, even if one of you is in constant pain, you still won’t speak, huh?”Bintang grinned widely. It showed that the young man, whose age was close to Yuga and Bagas, was ready to do the same.“D-don’t you dare hurt my brother! Just kill me… and let my brother go! Y-you… Ahhhh!” Yuga continued to endure the pain.“Brother…” Bagas suddenly felt like crying, and he stared at Bintang.“What exactly do you want? Tell me, and I’ll answer!”Bintang nodded in satisfaction. “Your mind is more mature than your brother’s…” Just as he

“Hmmm… You’re pretty skilled yourself, managing to keep evading our attacks… Seems like you’ve experienced life and death battles alongside martial arts masters, huh?”Bintang didn’t answer. Nei’s condition was worsening. Judging by her pale face, the arrow must have been coated with poison.“Watch out…” one of them warned.Bintang had just delivered a feint. The attack struck perfectly at the chin, catching the masked man off guard and unable to defend himself.Bang!“One?!” Bintang didn’t want the man he struck to recover.He leapt and then drove his foot into the man’s stomach.Bruuuk!The powerful step drove the man into the ground. The impact rendered him unconscious.“Bagas…” The surprised man realized the masked fighter was now targeting his body.Instantly, attack after attack was unleashed by both of them. But Bintang had anticipated all their movements, patiently waiting for a small opening to end the fight.“H-how can you see all my attacks?!” Yuga shouted, striking while t

“Nei, capture him alive… I want to know who’s trying to kill me.”Nei nodded quickly. Not long after, a familiar figure stepped into his secret clinic.“Bintang…” Dewi entered the clinic.“Y-you…” Bintang was startled. How could Dewi possibly know where he was?“Don’t be surprised. I came here… to thank you. After you freed me from the cruel life of the Rahwana family… I came with sincere feelings.”“I did all of that not for you… but for my parents, and for myself. Dewi, leave. This isn’t a place for you to play around.”Dewi nodded and left the clinic with calm, unhurried steps.“Thank goodness she’s gone… But how did she know I was here? And what does she really want… That expression of gratitude wasn’t as simple as I thought,” Bintang muttered, refocusing on his main purpose for coming to North Pearl Village.A short while later—Nei returned with two assassins who had nearly injured Kiana.“Young Master… as ordered…” Nei pulled off the cloths covering the two men’s faces.“Bring

Shifting his gaze, for some reason the Village Chief seemed to believe Bintang’s words. But who exactly was the masked man standing before him?Destroy Boma City? Who could possibly do such a thing?“Jeni… we have a guest. Why are you still busy with your own matters? Please, serve the young master some tea.”A twenty-three-year-old girl entered the research room. She nodded quietly, but from the sharpness in her eyes, Bintang began to feel that something about her was off.Soon, a cup of warm tea produced by North Pearl Village was placed before him.“Young master… this tea tastes especially smooth while it’s still warm. Please drink it right away,” Jeni said with a gentle smile.Bintang nodded. He poured it and slowly inhaled the aroma rising from the cup.“Very fragrant… but extremely dangerous,” he murmured with a faint smile. He did not throw it away. Instead, he began to drink it.Gleeeek?!Jeni’s gaze shifted instantly. The Village Chief, who had adopted Jeni as his daughter, n

“Kiana… deliver this remedy to Febri. Junaidi, Nei, help me prepare to receive the villagers who will be arriving soon.”The three of them nodded and immediately carried out the tasks Bintang had assigned. Not long after, the villagers began arriving one by one. Having heard that Candra had been cured of Dragon Scale Pox, they eagerly spoke up.“Is your medicine really that powerful?”“Yes! If it’s true, please help me!”“That’s right! Hurry and give us the remedy!”Bintang gave a faint smile. His plan had worked. He calmly placed small cups filled with the remedy on the table.“Take it.”Gleeeek! Gleeeek!One by one, the villagers felt warmth spread through their bodies. Their stamina surged, and the hardened scales on their skin began to melt away.“I–it’s…”“So effective…”“This secret healer’s clinic is incredible! Look—I’m cured!”Everyone rejoiced. Those who had not yet received their share began pushing forward in desperation. That kind of behavior, however, was something Binta

The branch in the Goddess of War’s hand snapped cleanly in two. That alone was enough to declare that Nei had won the third round.“I-I lost…”“For a martial artist, the sword is their life. If the sword breaks, it means defeat…” the Goddess of Gambling said involuntarily.Bintang then looked toward the two goddesses. “I have fulfilled all the conditions. Are you going to go back on your word?”Both of them shook their heads. “You’ve won. We will not break our promise. Come, enter…” The Goddess of Gambling stepped forward, with Bintang following behind her.However, Bintang did not enter the residence. Instead, he fixed his gaze on Kiana.“Master?” Kiana still did not understand.Slaaaash!He took a needle and pierced the vein in his wrist. Instantly, bright red blood—tinged slightly with a dark greenish hue—dripped into a bowl that had once held the Goddess of Gambling’s tea.He crushed two Thousand-Poison Antidote Pills and mixed them into the blood until they dissolved together.
