194: DeathThe battle raged on, the sealed space trembling violently with each devastating clash.Max's palm collided with Vance's, the impact sending a shockwave rippling outward, cracking the barrier slightly at its edges before it slowly repaired itself.Vance stumbled back, but before Max could press his advantage, Holt appeared directly behind him, his fist already swinging toward the back of Max's skull.Max twisted sharply, narrowly avoiding a direct hit, though Holt's knuckles still grazed across his shoulder, the sheer force tearing through fabric and skin alike.A sharp line of blood appeared, soaking through Max's torn sleeve.He gritted his teeth, ignoring the sting, immediately countering with a swift kick aimed at Holt's exposed side.Holt grunted, taking the hit but barely flinching, the temporary power coursing through his body absorbing most of the damage.Maximus and Drummond moved in simultaneously from opposite angles, their combined assault forcing Max to weave th

193: PillsThe four old men stared at Max, their eyes nearly bulging out of their sockets, completely frozen by the overwhelming pressure radiating from him.Max's smile slowly widened, a cold, calculating glint flashing within his dark eyes."It's time for a change," Max announced, his voice carrying an absolute finality.The four men remained silent, still trying to process everything unfolding in front of them."Since you wanted to take everything from me," Max continued, taking another slow step forward, "then I won't bother being polite about this any longer."He paused, letting his words settle heavily in the air."I'm going to take your military power and unify it under one banner," Max declared, "and while I'm at it, I'll expose every single crime you've committed over the years to the entire nation."The words hit the four old men like a physical blow.Maximus's face twisted in horror, his mind racing through the countless secrets they had buried over the decades, secrets tha

192: ShockedMaximus scoffed, his earlier shock quickly shifting back into cold anger."Since that's how you want to play it," Maximus growled, his fists clenching tightly, "we'll teach you a lesson you'll never forget."He turned sharply toward the communicator on his desk, his voice carrying a dangerous edge."Send in Cultivator Renn," Maximus ordered.A few moments later, the screen flickered, showing the corridor outside Tiger's cell once more. This time, a tall, imposing figure walked through the soldiers, his presence alone causing the ground to tremble slightly with each step.The air around him crackled faintly with raw, condensed Qi, a clear sign that this was no ordinary soldier.Tiger, still standing amidst the unconscious bodies of the previous attackers, immediately sensed the shift in pressure the moment the cultivator entered the cell.His eyes narrowed sharply.This wasn't like the others before him. This was real strength, the kind that could actually pose a genuine t

191: You Won't Find ThemThe four old men suddenly burst into laughter, the sound echoing harshly through the room."What could you possibly do, Max?" Maximus scoffed, shaking his head, "You've already taken the pill. Your cultivation is sealed. You're nothing more than a toothless tiger now."Holt leaned back in his chair, a wide, mocking grin spreading across his face."That's right," Holt added, "All that power you used to flaunt around, completely gone. You're just an ordinary man standing in front of us now."Vance and Drummond chuckled along, clearly enjoying the moment, savoring the sight of Max standing there without his usual overwhelming presence pressing down on the room.Maximus turned back toward the screen, his earlier confidence fully restored."You should really consider our offer," Maximus said, his tone carrying a smug edge, "There's no use being stubborn when you're in absolutely no position to refuse."Max studied each of their faces calmly, his expression giving n

190: Leverage Back in the small, dimly lit cell, Tiger paced restlessly from one corner to another, his footsteps echoing sharply against the cold concrete floor.Max sat calmly on the edge of the thin mattress, watching his subordinate's frustration build with each passing minute."Tiger," Max called out, his voice steady, "Calm down."Tiger stopped mid step, glancing toward Max, his jaw tight with restrained anger."How can I calm down, Master?" Tiger snapped, though he quickly lowered his voice, "They've sealed our cultivation, locked us away like common criminals, and you're just sitting there like nothing is wrong."Max simply gestured toward the empty space beside him, a silent invitation for Tiger to sit.After a long moment of hesitation, Tiger finally let out a heavy breath, walking over and lowering himself down beside Max, his hands clasped tightly together."Better," Max murmured, giving a small nod.Once Tiger's breathing steadied, Max leaned in slightly, lowering his vo

189: Bawling Back on the island, chaos had broken out the moment the broadcast started playing.Fiona stood frozen in front of the screen, her hands trembling as she watched soldiers surround Max and Tiger on the street. The moment the pills were forced into their hands, her heart dropped completely."That's... that's Max," Fiona whispered, her voice barely audible.Amelia's face went pale beside her, her grip tightening around the edge of the table."They're taking him away," Amelia muttered, shaking her head in disbelief, "Why isn't he fighting back? Why isn't he doing anything?"Riley quickly moved to intercept Fiona as she suddenly surged forward, trying to get closer to the screen as if doing so would somehow change what was happening."Let me go! I need to—" Fiona's voice cracked, panic flooding through her entire body, "They have him! They actually have him!""Ma'am, please, you need to calm down," Riley urged, holding her arms gently but firmly, trying to keep her steady.Lit
