A high-level Cultivator at the Golden Core realm. A standard senior captain of the White Guards, a force established by Majeed’s uncle and one of the most recognized and respected groups within the Supernatural Organization.They specialized in hunting down anything that posed a threat to the world, including Urgabas and other organizations that surfaced from time to time. Their influence stretched all the way to the Divine Beast Continent.A senior captain like him was someone with both power and influence. He could take an entire squad on his own and carry out high-level missions independently. Even though he was not the strongest among Majeed’s uncle’s disciples, he was definitely close to the top.He was also famous in New City. And yet, an ordinary youth had challenged him out of nowhere and even dared to speak to him in such a manner. Even if the boy came from one of the top families in the capital, unless his family were those hidden monsters, no one was going to save him.Ever

It had been four days since the visit to Panya. Samuel had requested a meeting with one of the higher-ups of the Supernatural Organization. It was a difficult request, but after Majeed made repeated appeals, his superior finally agreed to meet him. As a result, they traveled to the capital.It was Samuel’s first time being in the capital.“My superior is a very unpredictable man. He’s also extremely powerful. He is at the Golden Core realm, and he even has students at the same realm. Because of that, I believe he is definitely overpowered, even among Golden Core cultivators.”Majeed said this to Samuel as they drove into a vast compound.At the center of the compound stood a structure that resembled a dojo, built a few meters away from the main house.“Alright, thanks for the warning. But if he’s that powerful, how did he end up being your direct superior?” Samuel asked.“Oh, that?” Majeed chuckled softly. “This is actually a secret, but we are related. He’s my uncle, hehe. Because of

A boat sped swiftly across the river. Atop it were the president, the prime minister, and one other senator. Several military men were also on the boat, standing guard.Beside them were two additional boats, each filled with fully armed soldiers. They were the finest troops from Panya, sent to ensure that the president reached Dell City safely.“Mr. President, what exactly happened to our men?” the prime minister asked.“I don’t know,” the president replied grimly. “They haven’t returned from the mission, and I haven’t been able to contact them either. I already sent other men to investigate. They should call me once they find anything. But for now, all we know is that the targets are still alive and healthy…”He clenched his teeth before finishing, “…and they are waiting for us in Dell City.”One could only imagine his shock when he received a call from Eric that morning. Soon, Dell came into view. He had already informed the city mayor of their arrival in advance to prevent any unne

Samuel strolled casually around the island, watching as everyone tucked in their tents for the night.Nina had already set up her own tent, but when she noticed that Samuel looked as though he intended to remain outside, she frowned. She stepped away from her tent and walked over to him.“Aren’t you going to sleep tonight?” she asked softly.“No. Everyone can’t just sleep,” he replied in a low voice. “Someone has to guide the tents while everyone else is asleep.”“Then that should be me or Eric,” she said. “It’s your subordinates’ job to guide you, not the other way around.”“Eric is not my subordinate, and you are more than just a subordinate to me,” he said calmly. “In short, I no longer see you as one. Don’t worry about me. Nothing will happen even if I don’t sleep for days. Go and rest.”Nina walked a short distance away, picked up a rock, and placed it beside Samuel. Then she sat down next to him.Samuel looked at her in surprise, but he did not say anything to discourage her. Kn

“Fine, but why would he scam us?” Eric asked.“A premonition. And my premonitions never go wrong,” he said firmly, offering no further explanation.Eric did not argue again.“Alright. I guess we should be extra careful in our dealings. I’m sorry I allow myself to trust too easily.” Based on his experience, Samuel’s intuition was always right. He still could not forget the day at the auction. The scenes from that day were still fresh in his mind.The two of them returned.“How is it, Eric? Have you spoken to your friend? Tell him I am not a businessman. I am a president. A president of an entire country.” He struck his chest, pretending to be deeply offended.“Mr. President, I understand your point, but we do have a reason that cannot be disclosed. I will be blunt with you. You really need this money. But if you don’t, then you can simply forget that we ever met. I will be heading back to my country.“There are other countries where we can obtain an island,” Samuel said before Eric cou

“What’s going on?” he asked as he approached.Albert realized their loud voices had sent the wrong message.“I’m sorry to disturb you, Sam. It’s nothing serious. We’re just having some creative differences. I’ll have it settled now,” he assured him.Samuel nodded. He didn’t care about their internal affairs as long as it didn’t affect his plans. The two engineers immediately lowered their voices.Eric and Nina walked up behind him as they waited. After a while, Albert finally stepped away and walked toward them.“How is it?” Samuel asked.Albert was already fully informed about what he was here for.“The land here is good, although we would need to deploy large testing machines to get accurate estimates. Still, I can give a rough figure based on my experience.“Oh, go ahead,” Samuel said, nodding.“I think building a dock with six berths will cost around half a billion dollars,” he reported.“And for residences, power plants, factories, telecom infrastructure, hospitals, schools, and
