Chapter 437: Incident at Goldridge suites
Alistair gently reached over and placed a reassuring hand on Elizabeth's shoulder, the faint, warm trace of his celestial qi seeping through her coat to instantly soothe her frantic nerves. "Breathe, Elizabeth. Panicking will not solve whatever trap he has walked into."Elizabeth took a deep, shuddering breath, feeling the cold knot in her chest ease under his touch. "He was supposed to be landing at the airport today from his university in the Capital. I have no idea why he’s at Goldridge Suites or what kind of trouble he’s in.""Then let us go and find out," Alistair said calmly, opening the driver's side door for her before walking around to the passenger seat. "Get in. I will accompany you."Relief washed over Elizabeth as she quickly nodded and slid into the driver's seat. Knowing Alistair was by her side made the oppressive weight of her anxiety feel infinitely lighter.She started the engine, shifted into drive, and tore out of the hospital parking lot toward the central distr
Chapter 436: Big sis, save me!
Alistair turned and walked toward the suite’s balcony doors, looking through the glass down at the quiet hospital courtyard below. Two elite guards from Isabella’s private force stood hidden among the manicured hedges, their sharp eyes scanning the perimeter with unyielding vigilance.Satisfied that the floor was completely secure, Alistair exited the VIP suite, shutting the door behind him with a subtle, metallic click.As he walked down the quiet marble corridor toward the elevators, he retrieved his phone and dialled Master Xie's number.It rang only once before Master Xie picked.“Master Reid.”“Has there been any movement from Elder Kuro's associates?” Alistair asked.Master Xie replied. “Not at all, Master Reid. In fact, Elder Zhao has reason to believe that the demonic cultivators currently in Haven have gone into hiding. It's most likely that with their eyes and ears in the Beggars sect gone, they don't dare to make themselves known anymore.”“That's to be expected.”“Indeed,
Chapter 435: Walking the path of healing and combat
"A foundation is only as strong as its quietest days, Elizabeth," Alistair said smoothly, his hands resting casually in his trouser pockets as they reached the elevator bay. "Your family stood firm when others flinched. Protecting that resolve costs me very little."The elevator doors chimed and slid open.As they stepped inside, Elizabeth remarked. “What happened with the puppeteer… I was really scared. I hated the fact that I couldn't do anything to save my dad or myself.”“You can't expect yourself to be more than what you are capable of. It is impossible.” Alistair simply said. “Regardless, as your disciple, I should be able to do more.”Alistair chuckled. “You are practicing medical arts, not how to fight.”“Then I'd like to learn how to fight as well. I want to be able to defend myself.” Elizabeth said without hesitation.Alistair raised a brow. “Martial arts are significantly harder to learn than the medical arts. Also, learning both at the same time is no easy task. It would
Chapter 434: Checking on the Boltons
Elizabeth took the wheel of her white executive sedan, navigating through the quiet, leafy avenues of Haven's northern district. With the morning sun shining bright and the looming threat of the demonic cultivators temporarily suppressed, the air felt lighter than it had in weeks.Upon their arrival at the hospital, Elizabeth led Alistair to Caleb's private medical ward, which he was sharing with Donald. Pushing open the doors, Alistair walked in to find Caleb Bolton seated upright on his bed, a steaming cup of herbal tea in his hands. Though pale and bearing bandages beneath his silk robe, the sharp, formidable glint had returned to the old patriarch’s eyes.Across from him sat Donald Bolton, looking far better rested, his breathing steady as he reviewed a stack of financial documents."Grandpa, Dad—look who I brought," Elizabeth called out as she stepped into the room.Both men immediately looked up.The moment Caleb saw Alistair walk in, his expression transformed from calm digni
Chapter 433: Going into Hiding
“Elder, this…”“The treasures of the Blood Demon King can wait. It will always be there, but we cannot risk a war with the righteous sect now. So again, I will repeat, all demonic cultivators are to retreat. If there is anything you are doing at the moment, I'd advise you to give it a rest until further notice.”“And what about Alistair Reid?”“He is clearly on the level of a Grandmaster. Someone like that cannot be easily defeated. So, we will keep an eye on him for now. No man can be a fortress forever. Once a chip in his armour shows, we will not hesitate to drive a blade through his heart.”The elders in the cavernous hall bowed their heads in silent, reluctant agreement.Though bloodlust simmered beneath their dark qi, none were foolish enough to dispute the Vice-Sect Master’s logic.A Grandmaster wielding pristine celestial light was a localized apocalypse for demonic practitioners.Pushing forward now was tantamount to suicide."As you command, Vice-Sect Master," Elder Muye int
Chapter 432: A meeting in the dark
"Alistair Reid..." Marianne whispered, her fingers tracing the edge of her jade wine glass until fine cracks appeared in the crystal. "How interesting. A nameless dragon sleeping in a small pond.""Your Majesty, what are our orders?" Samuel asked desperately. "Should I request reinforcements from the Royal Enforcement Division? Grandmaster Elders?""No," Marianne commanded coldly, her sharp mind already shifting pieces across the continental chessboard. "If he truly possesses power beyond the High-Master realm, sending mere elders will only humiliate our lineage further. Besides... The arranged marriage with the Shadow Royal Family of Arcadia cannot be delayed much longer. Lord Shadow has already sent word that his grandson will soon finalize his worldly trials."A dark, calculating smile touched the Queen's lips as she gazed out over her frozen empire."You may return to the Capital," Marianne ordered smoothly. "As for this Alistair Reid... send the shadow intelligence unit to invest
