BrentihillBrentihill was a major city with a population of more than ten million.It was large enough to pass for a small country, yet it remained an independent city-state and one of the greatest trading hubs in the region.Its economy had been heavily strengthened by the countless forests and unique heritage sites scattered throughout its territory. Those places were filled with valuable resources, but much of their wealth remained untouched because of the dangers and complications surrounding them.Samuel stared at the enormous structures rising around him.Towering buildings stretched into the distance, their elaborate designs competing for attention. Some were carved from polished stone, while others were built with materials so rare that Samuel couldn't immediately identify them. Even the ordinary residences looked extravagant.It seemed the people of Brentihill were engaged in some unspoken competition over who could build the most impressive house."Brentihill at last." Rosal

Samuel returned to the inn.“Sam, did you meet with the City Lord?” Rosalie asked.“Yes.”“Is he going to follow you again?” she asked curiously.“I don’t know. But he’ll be fine even if he doesn’t. The inheritance he received is powerful. He’ll become someone great in this world.”“Really? Greater than you?” she asked, her curiosity evident.“Haha.” Samuel laughed. “This world is only my stepping stone.”“You’re really good at bragging. I love it.” She giggled.“It’s not bragging.”A third voice suddenly joined the conversation.Rosalie turned in surprise.A tall, very handsome man with blond hair stood nearby. To Rosalie, however, he was still far below Samuel in terms of appearance.Samuel was one of the most handsome men she had ever seen, but the fact that he knew it—and acted like it—sometimes vexed her.The blond man pulled out a chair and sat at their table as though he belonged there, making Rosalie wonder who he really was.“What is it, Bradley? Or should I call you Mikel?”

When they arrived at the City Lord's mansion, Samuel told Rosalie to wait at a nearby inn while he went in alone. He had barely approached the entrance when the guards stepped forward to block his way."What's your business at the City Lord's mansion?""I came to see Bradley," Samuel replied."That's the City Lord you're talking about! How dare you call him by his name?" the guard roared."Because I'm his master," Samuel replied calmly."Master? Hah!"The guard's face twisted with anger. Without a second thought, he lunged at Samuel.Samuel barely moved. He sidestepped the attack and drove a swift kick into the guard's head.The man flew backward like a broken kite, crashing to the ground.The other guards stared in horror."Go and tell Bradley that Samuel is here to see him," Samuel commanded.The guards exchanged uneasy glances before one of them reluctantly stepped forward to deliver the message. The others kept their distance, their eyes fixed warily on Samuel.The man Samuel had

“Aish. That’s very unladylike,” Samuel complained as he controlled the yellow tiger, sending it soaring into the air.Once they were a little farther away from the forest, Samuel turned to her and asked, “So, where’s your home? I’ll drop you off before I leave.”“Hehe, drop me off at home? Unless you’re willing to go all the way to Brentihill, there’s no way you’re going to drop me off at home,” she said.“Brentihill? That’s indeed very far. What are you doing all the way out here, then?” he asked curiously.“Well, I ran away from home for some time, but I’m going back. In that moment of life and death, I realized how vain this world can be. I’m going back to fight for my sister,” she said resolutely.“Your sister? What happened to her?” Samuel asked.“She was being forced into a marriage by our stepfather. You see, she’s the one who’s supposed to inherit the sect, but there’s a rule that she must marry and give up her special virgin yin before she can receive the inheritance and beco

Rosalie swam out of the spring, grabbed Samuel by the arms, and began pulling him toward the surface.Mama Rita caught the movement out of the corner of her eye. Her teeth clenched, and fury twisted her features. Though she could barely move from where she lay, she stretched out a hand and grabbed a nearby rock. Then, forcing herself onto her side, she hurled it toward the spring with all the strength she could muster.Luckily, Rosalie dragged Samuel inside just in time. The stone whistled past them, missing by a fraction.********Samuel and Rosalie emerged from the other side of the Everfrost Spring.Samuel collapsed onto his back, his chest heaving. He fumbled for some energy stones, popped them into his mouth, and swallowed them whole, leaving Rosalie staring at him in disbelief."Aren't you going to die if you use energy stones that way?" she asked, her brows furrowing with concern."For others, maybe." He shrugged."Intriguing," she murmured."I should say the same about you. Ho

Samuel drew his sword."I don't know, but I was thinking I'm the one who should be asking the questions," he said, tightening his grip around the hilt."Ha, hahaha! You amaze me, little human. Where did you get that courage from? You couldn't even do anything when we captured you!" Omos laughed."Well, you ganged up on me," Samuel replied."All right, then. You have nothing to worry about now. I've told my hunters not to come to this area, no matter what. I'll take care of whoever dares to come here myself.""Really?"Samuel's eyes lit up.If the other hunters stayed away, his chances of surviving this encounter would increase considerably.Omos suddenly dashed forward without warning.Samuel reacted instantly. He grabbed Rosalie and hurled her toward the spring with all his strength."Samuel!"Her startled cry barely left her lips before Omos came within striking distance.The giant abruptly halted, his enormous feet scraping against the rocky ground as he tried to stop his momentum.
