Chapter 866
After Joseph offered the first incense, the others stepped forward one by one to pay their respects.“Young Master, the first wave of assassins has been dealt with.”“But more will inevitably enter Nova City.”“Once we’ve begun this operation, there’s no turning back.”“For quite some time to come, we’ll be in a constant state of elimination.”“They’ve suffered heavy losses tonight. The next wave will be far more cautious.”Neil Foster approached Joseph, brows knitted in concern.“Old Foster is right,” Brian Adams added with a nod. “If Miss Morgan remains at the center of this storm indefinitely, it’s not a sustainable solution.”“You mentioned earlier that you had a way to change the situation. May we ask what you have in mind?”“My plan requires no involvement from you,” Joseph replied evenly. “Continue with what we’ve already arranged.”“Leave the rest to me.”His tone carried quiet certainty.“Very well. We won’t press further,” Neil said. “But the assassins who follow will be str

“Boy, mind your tone! Is that how you speak to the Young Master?”Brian Adams’ expression darkened as he rebuked him.“It’s fine,” Joseph said, raising a hand lightly. “Ambition in the young is no fault. I admire it.”“I meant no disrespect,” Tony Rogers replied at once, dropping to one knee. “I only wish to grow stronger and earn distinction.”“Rise,” Joseph said calmly. “Since the matter is settled, we return. See to your wound without delay.”“Yes, Young Master.”Tony answered with deference.“I’ll take Monad’s head.”Brian Adams tightened his grip on his blade.“Chief Instructor, allow me.”Tony stepped forward eagerly.“Oh?”Adams regarded him for a moment, then handed him the knife.“Very well. Do it.”Tony approached Monad’s body. He lifted the blade high and brought it down in a single, decisive stroke.The head separated cleanly.Blood splashed across his face, yet he merely clenched his jaw. There was even a flicker of exhilaration in his eyes.“The boy’s mental fortitude is

Just as Brian Adams was about to strike, his movement was restrained in an instant.“Young Master?”He looked up and found Joseph standing behind him.“How is it? Monad is ranked eleventh on the leaderboard. Is he really that troublesome?”Joseph’s gaze rested calmly on the two figures locked in combat inside the steel factory.“It’s not that he’s difficult,” Adams replied, shaking his head. “It’s just that neither I nor the others have intervened.”“Who’s the kid?” Joseph asked.“He enrolled in the Military Command Academy last year. Tony Rogers. Nineteen this year. Comes from a martial family—both his grandfather and father served in the armed forces.”“The boy’s foundation is solid. After I brought him in, his progress was astonishing. He’s already ranked within the top thirty on the leaderboard.”“Of course, compared to you at his age, he’s still far behind. But he’s a prodigy, without question—his future is limitless.”“This time, he wants to kill Monad with his own hands and tak

“He really was here.”Clarence Bennett gazed at the headless corpse on the ground, his voice filled with certainty.“There’s someone inside. Let’s go.”Hearing movement from within the house, Mandy moved to rush in.Clarence caught her arm.“Careful.”He turned to the soldiers beside him.“Stay alert.”With that, he stepped inside first, every movement measured and cautious.The moment they entered, they saw an elderly woman and a little girl huddled in the corner.An old man lay near the table, collapsed in a pool of blood.“Ma’am, what happened here?”Clarence asked gently.“Please—save my husband. He’s still alive, he’s still breathing.”The old woman’s voice trembled with urgency.“Get in here! Take him to the hospital—now!”Mandy called out, then turned back. “Ma’am, are you hurt?”“The girl and I are fine. A benefactor saved us. He killed the bandit outside—cut off his head.”Though shaken, the old woman spoke clearly.Mandy and Clarence exchanged a look. Each saw the same concl

Kitaharai lunged forward in a sudden burst, aiming straight for Joseph.Though the dagger in Joseph’s hand appeared short and unassuming, the force behind it was formidable. With a deft parry and a fluid sidestep, he neutralized the strike effortlessly.When the first attack failed, Kitaharai sprang into the air. In the span of mere seconds, he unleashed dozens of flying kicks in rapid succession—each one sharp and precise. Yet every single blow was dissolved with ease.Joseph was far stronger, his build more solid, his movements swifter and more controlled.Most of Kitaharai’s strikes cut through empty air; those that did not were met head-on and overpowered.Compared to his brother, Kitaharai relied more on agility and technique. But age had caught up with him. Speed without strength was hollow, and his body no longer possessed the vigor it once had.Joseph had not expected this old skeleton to rush so eagerly to Nova City to meet his end.Steel clashed against steel, sparks scatter

“I’m taking his head with me.”Joseph glanced at Kitaharano, sprawled helplessly on the ground.“This…”Mandy and Clarence Bennett were momentarily stunned.Without waiting for their reply, Joseph crouched down. Kitaharano had not yet drawn his final breath.“Didn’t you once say your dream was to be a wanderer, unbound and free?” Joseph said quietly. “And yet, you never escaped the world’s chains. In the end, you came to Elysia for money.”“I admired your philosophy once. It’s a pity—it was never true freedom.”With a faint sigh, Joseph pried the long blade from Kitaharano’s hand.He weighed the weapon briefly, then gripped it with both hands. In a single, decisive stroke, he severed Kitaharano’s head.“Ugh—!”Several young recruits, unaccustomed to such brutality, turned pale and retched. Their legs buckled beneath them.For many, it was the first time witnessing a man killed before their eyes. The shock was more than they could bear.“Whether you agree or not, I’m taking it,” Joseph
