The moment he looked down, however, his expression changed."It's Bayi, the leader of the Wardens of Nob.""Bayi?"Jeremy frowned in confusion. He and Bayi were good friends, so it was unusual for the man to summon him in such a manner. If Bayi wanted to see him, he could easily have come upstairs to his office. Besides, they had ongoing business together."Did he come with anyone?" Jeremy asked."Yes. There's a young man with dark hair and a young woman accompanying him. The young man looks very young, so I doubt he's anyone particularly important. Perhaps he's a young master from some influential family.""A young master?"Jeremy repeated the words and rose from his seat. He crossed the office and approached the window, peering down at the three figures standing outside.He recognized Bayi, but the young man and woman were complete strangers to him."Bayi! Why are you standing down there calling for me? Why don't you come up here?" Jeremy shouted from the window."That's him," Bayi

"Just take me to him."The leader nodded. "Go and prepare a carriage for us," he instructed one of the elders.The elder immediately left the hall to make the necessary arrangements. A few minutes later, he returned to announce that the carriage was ready.Samuel and Aaliyah followed the leader to the carriage."Sir Jeremy, I've reviewed the files concerning the auction house owned by a man named Gidona, and something is wrong with the evidence provided. I suspect it was fabricated. Who submitted it?"A young man stood before an older man whose face was twisted into a deep scowl."So, you're now teaching me how to do my job?" Jeremy shot back."I'm not trying to teach you how to do your job. I've simply discovered a loophole that might have been overlooked, which is perfectly understandable. I'm not saying it's your fault," the young man explained."You're clearly looking down on me. That's what this is about!" Jeremy abruptly rose to his feet, his face flushed with anger. "I won't to

Then realization dawned on him, and the source of Samuel's hostility finally became clear.“I didn't do anything wrong! Gidona's auction house was illegally selling weapons. How is that my fault? The authorities were the ones who investigated them and brought charges against them. They even have evidence!” he protested desperately.Samuel stared at him for a moment before asking, “Since you insist on lying, I assume you'd prefer another beating. Am I right?”“Please, don't! I'm telling the truth! Believe me, I genuinely know nothing about this!” the leader cried out in panic.“You know nothing?” Samuel sneered. “You threatened them and ordered them to shut down their auction house, or you'd deal with them yourself. Now you're standing here expecting me to believe you have no idea what's happening?”“I truly know nothing about the charges against them!” the leader insisted, his voice trembling. “Yes, I admit that I threatened them, but I didn't mean it! I was only making threats for th

The approaching mages wasted no time launching their attacks. Waves of mana surged through the air as they unleashed a barrage of magical techniques, sending powerful streams of energy hurtling toward the golden-armored puppet.Kaiser stood his ground.He raised one arm, and a golden energy barrier materialized before him. The incoming attacks crashed against it, producing bursts of light and energy, but none could penetrate the barrier.Kaiser emerged completely unharmed.“My turn,” he declared.With that, he swung the chain.The massive iron ball tore through the air, its weight and momentum transforming it into a devastating weapon. It slammed into the approaching mages, sending them flying in every direction. Some were hurled high into the sky, while others crashed to the ground with bone-rattling impacts.Kaiser pressed forward relentlessly.He swung the iron ball repeatedly, smashing through the enemy ranks as though the mages were little more than obstacles. Their attacks could

“What is the name of the sect?” Samuel asked calmly.“They are called the Wardens of Nob. I heard that all of them are mages.”“All of them are mages?” Samuel repeated, his expression impassive. “Leave this matter to me. I'll handle it.”“Are you sure you can handle it?” Gidona asked, studying him with concern. “I heard that you're no longer affiliated with the Ice Frost Sect, so I doubt they'll offer you any assistance. Without their support, how do you intend to deal with the Wardens of Nob on your own?”Samuel didn't bother explaining his plans. Instead, he turned and walked away, leaving Gidona wondering how he intended to resolve the matter.“Can I come with you?” Aaliyah asked, hurrying after him and grabbing his arm.“You can come,” Samuel replied without hesitation.With that settled, they left the auction house and headed for the Wardens of Nob.*********Wardens of NobA man dressed in a black robe sat on a throne in the middle of a grand hall.

"Is that all you've heard?" Samuel asked with a faint smile. "I'm sure there are plenty of other stories circulating about that incident. You probably believe all of them, too, don't you?"Gidona fell silent for a moment.Deep down, he knew the story didn't make much sense. It was difficult to believe that someone would fall in love at first sight and immediately risk his life by challenging a powerful opponent during such an important occasion simply because he was captivated by a woman's beauty."Fine, I'll be honest with you," Gidona admitted at last. "I know that story is false. However, I'm still angry about what happened. I also never knew you had other women. If I'd known, I wouldn't have allowed my daughter to date you in the first place."His expression hardened as he continued."And now that I know the truth, I won't allow the two of you to see each other anymore. I don't want her having anything to do with you. My daughter cannot marry a polygamous man.""There's no need fo
