A Jeep drove them to the government house. It was a ten-minute journey. The scenery along the way was nothing to write home about, but as they got closer to the government house, it suddenly felt as though they had entered an entirely different city.The streets became more beautiful, with better houses and well-paved roads. Although it was still not as good as the streets back in his own country, the contrast with the area they had passed through earlier was extremely sharp.Samuel, Eric, and Nina were in the same military Jeep, while the rest of the group rode in another vehicle.“I pity the engineers,” Eric sighed. “They looked really scared and agitated. I wish you had seen their faces when we were surrounded.”“I think that’s understandable,” Samuel shrugged. “It was their first encounter with military men pointing weapons at them. I believe, for a moment, they thought we were about to be attacked. They are normal civilians, after all.”Soon, both Jeeps stopped in front of a huge

“What’s it, Sheena?” Sophie asked in shock. Everyone knew she had always been best friends with Sheena.“You think I don’t know you have been giving information about all my movements to the sect leader?” Sheena said coldly. “You even told her who Sam is. You are the reason she became so invested in finding a husband for me.“It was never like this before. You ruined my life.”“How did you…?” Sophie asked, stunned.“I have my ways, Sophie.” Sheena smirked.“Listen, Sheena. I had your well-being at heart. Sam is not worthy of you. He’s just a very weak man. Besides, even if I didn’t tell her, you couldn’t possibly hide your relationship forever, could you?” Sophie reasoned.Sheena did not say another word. She was worried about her father, seeing that he looked like he was about to say something. What if he was punished because of her again?Harold seemed to understand her thoughts and stepped forward.“Where are you going, Harold?” Margaret asked coldly.“To speak to my daughter, of c

He had been using a special technique to conceal his aura and presence, but it wore him down heavily since he had only a thin reserve of energy left.Luckily, he had managed to get far away. There was no way he could be traced now.He coughed, and blood spilled from his mouth.“Under normal circumstances, I could have handled him,” he thought angrily. The aura he had sensed earlier was nowhere near as powerful as the Abomination’s, so he believed that at his peak, he could have fought whoever it was and won.But in his current condition, he was in no shape to fight. Doing so would only endanger his life, with the chances of victory being painfully slim.He moved his body a few meters away. Finally, he found a tree and climbed onto it.Taking out his phone, he made a call.“Hello, Sam? Where are you right now? Are you hurt?” she asked worriedly.Samuel forced a small smile. She had not even waited for him to speak first.“I’m fine, Nina. I just wanted to let you know that I won’t be co

Stany realized he was in serious trouble. At first, he had believed he could handle them. Even after Nina joined the fight, he thought it would not matter. He believed he could deal with even three people at the same level as himself. Unfortunately, he realized the truth far too late.Nina alone was already enough to defeat him. With the addition of Gilbert and Trisha, his situation became completely dire.The rest did not dare move closer. None of them wanted to die so early. Although they were all in the Golden Core realm, the gap between their strength and Stany’s was still two levels. One careless strike from him was all it would take to end their lives.Instead, they turned their attention to the group of Core Formation experts. Even though those experts were severely weakened, they were far easier to deal with. Robert was also captured, but he was not killed.Because he had walked together with Stany, they assumed he was someone important. They kept him alive in case they needed

“Well, well, well. How did you two get here? You even released my captives,” Stany said, still smiling.“He invited us.” Samuel pointed at Robert, who was visibly shocked.“Me? That’s a lie! I didn’t bring anybody with me. Please don’t believe him,” Robert said frantically. His heart was filled with fear as he did not know whether Stany would believe him.“Maybe you didn’t invite them, but they followed you anyway. Your movements might have been loud and drawn attention, huh?” Stany smirked.“I swear, not a single soul knew about my involvement with you guys. This guy is clearly lying. He came by himself…”“Enough!”He was cut off immediately. This time, it was the gloomy man, Mikel.“This is not the time to argue. Capture them, and we will naturally find out how they got here,” he said in a loud voice.Stany was the first to move. He was confident he could take down Gilbert again, and Mikel would be able to handle the rest just like before. But this time, there were Samuel and Nina.

“It’s simple. Accept my spiritual imprint,” he said calmly.The prisoners exchanged glances among themselves. Accept his spiritual imprint? Is that all? That was the so-called condition? They wondered if it was a joke or some kind of trap.“Is that all?” the man who had spoken first asked again.“That’s all.” Samuel smiled confidently. All of them would surely agree. After all, a spiritual imprint was never something harmful.Samuel had realized that his master-and-servant binding technique did not exist anywhere in this world. After conducting some research, he discovered something similar, yet unfamiliar to him.Spiritual imprint.It was like branding a person with your spiritual consciousness. Once branded, you would be able to know the person’s location no matter where they were.Just like the binding technique, the recipient had to accept the imprint into their spiritual consciousness or soul. Once they accepted it, they would be branded for life, and their location would always
