How exactly did you manage to steal a Sovereign Privilege Card? For a second, I actually thought you were a White Crest General of the 7th White Death Order of the nation, but I was clearly mistaken just now...”
His eyes were strangely humorous as he heavily scrutinized how completely tattered and ordinary Elijah appeared, before chuckling darkly. “Maybe

Chapter 574
The intertwined lightning came bursting down again, but not toward Elijah this time.It was towards the Ferrari which was now humming to life. Elijah stepped directly into its path and what came out of his sleeves this time wasn’t a silver acupuncture needle.The pair of Heaven-Piercing golden needles.Already beginning to glow.He drew a slow breath, and the golden energy housed inside them surged through the meridians of his fingers, finding what was left of his core in a fraction of a second.The needles carried their own energy. Normally, channeling personal energy into them was the wiser path. But for anyone below the level of a Grandmaster, drawing that spiritual energy inward instead could tear a cultivator’s core apart without caution. Energy of that nature was never meant to sit inside a lower vessel.The moment the golden current touched his core, he pushed it back out immediately, refusing to let it settle for even a single second.A surge of raw energy tore out of his bo

Zzzt! Zzzt! Zzzt!Six bursts of lightning, faster than his own movement, struck the exact spot he had just vacated. Then they curved to track his sideways motion without missing.He leapt into the air at the last possible second and threw both hands toward the hole above. His fingers stretched rigid, every last drop of his internal energy collapsing into their tips. A narrow bolt of lightning fired from his palm straight up at the six.Five of the staffs swung in unison and slapped the incoming bolt sideways into the wall.CRACK!The wall there began to crumble too, bricks tumbling loose.Elijah dropped to his knees on landing and coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face draining of color. His vision blurred at the edges, and his legs had gone completely unreliable beneath him.He had seen this coming. Most of his spiritual energy had already gone into putting down one of the Seven Calamities tonight, and he hadn’t recovered any of it. His plan had been to be gone before the other six
Chapter 572
It was at this moment that every Stonewell and Blackwood around the table finally focused on the lifeless body lying on the floor beneath the six men.The Stonewells who recognized the face went pale instantly, their pupils shrinking in their sockets.Even Jared stumbled backward where he stood, nearly collapsing entirely.Theo Blackwood twisted in his chair, his mind connecting the dead body to the six standing figures with their staffs charged and crackling. Wasn’t that one of the Seven Calamities?Lila pulled herself up over the table to look properly, but what she saw didn’t change the second time. Her voice shook with real fear as she turned to her brother. “Is he dead? They can’t die, right? They can’t… That’s Five.”Peter wasn’t listening to her at all. He rose to his feet, his face twisted with rage, and pointed a shaking finger at the six men. “What are you waiting for?! Hurry up and do it! Kill him! Now! Do it now!”
Chapter 571
Everyone at the table remained frozen. Many didn’t dare breathe too loudly. Even the Stonewells, who had never once imagined a night like this in their wildest fears, sat in absolute stillness. The presence of the Seven Calamities of the East had always made them untouchable, even before the family’s return to Brooklyn Heights.Now, after clearly seeing what Elijah Langston could do, and with that protection nowhere in the room, they could only keep their heads down.Not even Peter Stonewell dared speak from his corner. He could only clench his jaw, then clench it again.The elders said nothing either. A ringing confirmation had already settled in their minds. This was the heir of the Langstons that the careless Wexlers had failed to dispose. No random impostor would know how the SCDG had truly come to exist before its explosive rise fifteen years ago, when it became one of the five great families. The Stonewell name had always stood at the front of that business, but the elders kn
Chapter 570
A thick swallow moved visibly down the old man’s throat and his face twitched violently.This was a topic that had been forbidden inside the Stonewell household for fifteen years. No one spoke of where the family’s business had truly come from. No one dared.Elijah’s smile turned cold. He stepped back, turning slightly to address the wider table now, his voice carrying into every corner of the dark hall.“I still remember that day before the massacre, the Stonewells sent notices to every building the Langstons lived in across all four districts. Risk of imminent collapse, the notices said. Evacuate that very night. Every Langston in every district. Estates, private residences, even the smallest of houses. All of them, supposedly, on the verge of falling at the exact same time.”He let the silence sit for only a second.“Something was clearly wrong about that. How could every single property belonging to one family suddenly become structur
Chapter 569
It took a full minute for the Blackwoods and Stonewells to gather themselves. When they did, it was only to stagger to their feet in fright.Tyler Blackwood was the first to move. He stumbled over the edge of the large oak table, scrambling toward the door, and a glinting silver needle flashed past his eyes in the dark. It buried itself into the wall directly ahead of him.He froze where he stood. His knees nearly gave out completely.Ever since what Elijah had done to him before, he had carried a phobia of needles so severe that the patriarch of his own family had ordered them kept entirely out of his sight. At this point, he could be likened to a male version of Sleeping Beauty. Except his curse had never lifted, not until the exact time Elijah Langston had declared.Now, having just watched the same man reduce the patriarch of the great Stonewell family to barking like a dog, how could he not try to run?Tyler staggered backward a
