Chapter 445
Vincent Walker spat at Sebastian Simpson’s feet. “Pah! What are you so proud of, Sebastian? If not for that brat, you’d be a corpse. Go on, kill me—but you’ll never be my equal. You’re nothing. Trash.”Sebastian stood quietly, watching Vincent thrash against the inevitable. “And you didn’t lean on the King of Gangbuk? Without him, you think you could’ve staged this revolt with those pitiful followers of yours?”Vincent’s face had the color of ash. He laughed and laughed. “Winners are kings, losers are dogs. Enough talk—kill me or carve me; I’m at your mercy.”Sebastian raised his hand and brought it down, ending Vincent Walker’s life with a single palm.Then he turned to the traitors.“You were once my brothers. I gave you a chance. You chose profit over loyalty. I can’t forgive that.”The ten martial hall masters glanced at one another. Seeing mercy wasn’t coming, they sprang up as one.“If begging won’t save us, we’ll cut our way out. Better a fighting chance than waiting to die!”“

Those two clean, decisive cuts left everyone stunned.“Two strokes! He was one of the King of Gangbuk’s personal guardians—deadly strong—and that young man felled him like it was nothing? This is insane!”“Who are these people?”Only then did Sebastian Simpson fully grasp what Adrian had meant earlier. Adrian hadn’t failed to notice the danger around him—he was simply certain none of these assailants could threaten him. They couldn’t even get past the brothers at his side.After a brief lull, Adrian pocketed the silver needles, a faint smile at his lips.“Brother Simpson, you’re stable for now. You can join the fight and avenge the brothers who died for you.”The words punched straight through Sebastian’s heart. He looked at the comrades who had died with eyes wide open. If not for buying him time, they wouldn’t have fallen.Adrian turned to Emptiness and the others. “The rest are yours. Leave the old one to me.”Quickblade fixed Adrian with a frigid stare, tightening his grip on the

The arrival of nearly five thousand fighters from the Fifteen Commercial Alliances caught everyone flat-footed.“Drop your weapons and surrender! Traitors, the lot of you! You meant to wipe us out to the last!” a burly, bearded man roared at the rebels, fury blazing in his eyes.“Why aren’t you dead yet? What went wrong? Where did our plan fail?” The turncoats were rattled, unable to comprehend how the tide had turned.“Hmph. We had powerful help. Your betrayal has already reached Lord Buddha’s ears. The one aiding us is Lord Buddha’s own brother—Mr. Doyle.”At that, the members of the Fifteen Alliances all turned and bowed toward the entrance.When Adrian stepped into view, the expressions across the hall shifted in subtle, startling ways—most of all on Sebastian Simpson’s face. His pupils contracted; a tremor ran through him, raw with sudden, disbelieving relief. No one else could fathom what it meant to be dragged back from the brink.When he’d messaged Adrian earlier, Sebastian ha

The battle had erupted in full force. Even with Sebastian Simpson and the others fighting tooth and nail on the front lines, the casualties kept mounting.Before Vincent Walker and his men arrived, they had already been locked in brutal combat for hours. Now that the fight began anew, exhaustion overtook them, and their lines faltered.Sebastian Simpson watched his brothers fall one after another and fixed his gaze on Vincent Walker in the distance.“Vincent Walker, all of this began because of you. You want me dead? Then let’s see if you’ve got what it takes!”With that, he called up the last of his strength, surging forward straight at Vincent Walker.Sensing danger, Vincent lifted his longsword with a subtle flick.Though Sebastian was grievously wounded, he was still the stronger of the two. Fueled by fury, his blow landed with explosive force—Vincent grunted and was sent flying by a single punch.Sebastian threw his head back and laughed.“Hahaha! Vincent Walker! You want to be p

“Mr. Vincent, something’s come up and I have to head back immediately. We’ll have to catch up another time.”Vincent Richards’ smile faded. “Mr. Doyle, need a hand? Say the word and I’ll have the brothers go with you.”Adrian shook his head. “Not for now. I can handle it. Mr. Vincent, could you have someone run us to the airport?”Vincent immediately beckoned a sharp-looking young man to drive Adrian and his companions out.From the moment Adrian left, Ophelia drifted, her mind miles away.“You little minx,” Vincent couldn’t help teasing, “this time you can admit it—you’ve fallen for him.”Ophelia lowered her eyes, stricken. “But he already has a fiancée. I don’t even know how he feels about me. And our family…”Vincent rubbed her head. “Silly girl. You’ve never feared heaven or earth since you were a kid—how come love’s the one thing that makes you flinch? If you like him, then go after him. If you don’t ask, how will you know he doesn’t like you?“As for the family, your brother wil

Just as Adrian finished his fight, things on Vincent Richards’ side were drawing to a close as well.“The last stroke—go meet your God!”Nathaniel Ingram felt the blade’s edge lock onto him. His whole body froze. He could only watch, helpless, as the butcher’s knife closed in.“No! You can’t kill me! Don’t you dare—!”With a final, strangled scream, Nathaniel Ingram was cleaved clean in two and tumbled into the sea.Seeing their elder cut down so brutally, the people of the Order of Rebirth and the Eight-Slope Shrine lost their nerve completely. Their leaders dead, they scattered like sand in a strong wind.“How—how could this happen? How did the elder just die like that? What do we do now?”“It’s over. We’re all dead. We’re all going to die here!”Amid the chorus of dying cries, every last member of the Eight-Slope Shrine fell. The Order of Rebirth’s ranks thinned by the second. Emptiness raised his monk’s staff to send the survivors on their way to the next world, but Vincent Richar
