Chapter Forty-Six: The City Is Ablaze
"It's heavy, sure, but apart from its weight, I don't see anything special about it."Elena examined it carefully but couldn't see anything different about the broken sword."Young Master, you're not going to choose this sword, are you? Sister Winslow is right. Besides the weight, it's ugly and awkward to use."Wren said with disdain."Young Master, a weapon's quality isn't measured by its weight. If this broken sword were really a treasure, why would the Hargroves leave it on display here? It must be unwanted junk they stuck in this corner. I can see several other swords over there, gleaming, of decent quality, top-grade Awakened weapons."Barrett said.Gideon ignored them. Holding the heavy sword, he could feel its extraordinary nature. He poured his violent energy into it, and it immediately gave off a humming sound. The amount of energy this sword could withstand far exceeded that of his old battle sword."These mortals know nothing, kid. Congratulations, you've found a treasure."
Chapter Forty-Five: The Heavy Sword Needs No Edge
A black wind howled, and a great fire suddenly swept through the Hargroves' pill workshop, the billowing flames lighting up the whole area.Outside the workshop, Gideon and the others gazed at the sea of fire ahead, but no joy showed on their faces. Murder and arson had never been their intentions. The dead were gone forever, and the living had to do something for them."Burn it hard."Damon gritted his teeth."Young Master, what's next?"Wren looked at Gideon."We'll sweep through the Hargroves' businesses one by one. Next, the weapon workshop."When he'd said that, Gideon turned and headed for it.That night, Jadehaven was destined for chaos, and the Hargrove family for unrest."Look, there's a fire.""My god, it looks like the Hargroves' pill workshop is burning. How could such a big fire break out so suddenly?""It really is the Hargroves' pill workshop. Strange. It's one of the Hargroves' most profitable businesses, with plenty of experts stationed there. How could it catch fire?
Chapter Forty-Four: Why Is It Only This Little Money?
The fiery red sword came to rest on the old man's neck. Feeling the immense pressure coming off the blade and the soul-threatening heat, the old man's face went deathly pale, and he didn't dare move an inch."Who... who exactly are you people?"The old man's voice shook. As a late-stage Awakened expert who'd been with the Hargrove Trading Company a long time, he had some insight. He could tell these people were truly rare in strength. Their arrival tonight, ostensibly to rob, was probably an excuse. They were actually after the Hargroves."Enough nonsense. Hand over all the pills, herbs, and Yuan Crystals here."Barrett's face was full of fat and looked fierce."What's going on? Why is it so noisy?"At that moment, another elderly man, with white hair and a white beard, walked out of the pavilion.This old man was even stronger, a master at the Perfected stage. The moment he came out, he saw the corpses scattered across the ground and flew into a rage. His violent energy surged out of
Chapter Forty-Three: Be More Civilized
Night fell.Though Jadehaven was brightly lit, the sky above it was unusually dark. Just as Gideon had said, it was a dark and windy night, a night for murder.With Gideon's arrival, Jadehaven could no longer hope to keep its former peace.A great calamity was slowly closing in on the Hargrove family's businesses.The Hargroves' business empire stretched across half of Jadehaven, and Gideon meant to bring all of it down. Since he was going to start his revenge, he'd go big and treat it like a game.Five figures approached the gate of the Hargrove Pill Workshop like ghosts. According to Barrett, the pill workshop was the most profitable of the Hargroves' businesses. Since it was profitable, they'd start with the pill workshop."Young Master, shouldn't we change into some night clothes or something? We're here to rob someone properly, not just show up out in the open like this. It's a bit disrespectful to the profession of robber."Barrett said."Fatty, why do you say such awful things?
Chapter Forty-Two: Robin Hood-Style Charity
Gideon burst into wild laughter, then turned and walked away.Elena pouted beneath her veil. "What's with the arrogance? I was just showing a little concern."But she laughed too, right away. It seemed this man really wasn't easy to mess with.Julian Hargrove had offended him, and now he was dead, stuffed into a storage bag.Jadehaven was only a small border city in Dragonspine Domain, not a prestigious place. Gideon and his group traveled fast and reached the city gates in a single day.As for the Hargrove family, they still didn't know their second son had died horribly in a secular kingdom.It was only natural. None of the people involved in the massacre at the Cole Trading Company had gotten away. Even the two elders at the Perfected stage had been killed by Gideon. There was no way anyone could have informed the Hargroves.Even King Cassian hadn't known the details of the battle at the Cole Trading Company. It was only because Gideon had moved so fast. After briefly reviving Wren
Chapter Forty-One: You Think I'm Easy to Mess With?
The palace was engulfed in flames, the fire spreading so fiercely that it swallowed the entire capital.That day, chaos broke out across the capital. The people in the palace scattered and fled, screams echoing through the city.King Cassian spat out a mouthful of blood, staring at the burning palace. The King could do nothing. Countless palace guards carried tools, trying to put out the fire with water.But just as Drake had said, the Vermilion Bird's divine fire couldn't be put out by ordinary water. No amount of water would help."Gideon Hale, a year from now, I'll make sure you die without a grave."King Cassian's roar, fueled by boundless rage, echoed from the palace grounds.He was probably the most pathetic king in the world. His house had burned to the ground, and he could only watch helplessly as all the Awakened masters he'd trained died.A king reduced to a figurehead would be a laughingstock for many years to come.At that moment, King Cassian could only place all his hope
