Tobe turned to face Thaddeus once more. This time, a triumphant smirk was clearly etched across his face. He leisurely adjusted the cuffs of his black suit, savoring every second of the changing expression on his opponent's face."Did you honestly think I came here just to exchange pleasantries and wait for you to show up, Thaddeus?" Tobe chuckled, his laughter sounding hollow and sinister in the silent room. "You're far too naive if that's what you believe."Tobe took a step forward, narrowing the distance between them."The truth is, several hours before you even set foot in this academy... I was already in this very room," Tobe continued, his low voice dripping with cruel satisfaction. "And I didn't simply sit back and watch him suffer. I administered a special essence poison directly into his bloodstream."It felt as though a massive hammer had slammed into Thaddeus's chest. The blood throughout his body surged violently, and the temperature in the room seemed to plummet within a

The air inside Mentor Gu Hai’s private room suddenly seemed to grow thinner, as though the very atmosphere had become suffocating under the weight of the hostility between the two men.The tension hanging between them had now evolved beyond a mere battle of psychological warfare. It had transformed into something far more dangerous—a silent confrontation carrying the unmistakable threat of imminent violence.Tobe stared at Thaddeus through narrowed eyes. The arrogant smile that had been lingering on his lips gradually faded, leaving behind a cold expression tinged with growing frustration. His jaw tightened almost imperceptibly, while his fingers twitched slightly at his sides.Throughout his career as an elite fighter of the dark faction, Tobe had always prided himself on his exceptional ability to provoke his enemies. He knew precisely which words to use, which weaknesses to exploit, and how to manipulate someone's emotions until their rationality crumbled beneath the weight of thei

Tobe Lahadalia stood with an arrogant smile, his words carefully chosen to provoke his opponent and stir up his emotions.On the other side, Thaddeus Drake stood tall, his golden eyes radiating an extraordinary sense of calm.Thanks to the innate leadership instincts flowing through his Dragon Blood lineage, Thaddeus knew exactly how to deal with a manipulative opponent like Tobe.Tobe was no ordinary street thug who could be defeated through blind rage. He was an intelligent martial arts strategist, composed and calculating, with an exceptional ability to manipulate his opponents' psychological rhythm.If Thaddeus lost his temper and launched a reckless physical attack, Tobe would get exactly what he wanted: an opportunity to gauge his opponent's power and study the patterns of his internal techniques.“The fundamental principle of psychological domination: when an enemy tries to provoke an emotional reaction and draw your anger to the surface, the only way to break their strategy is

The thunderous crash of the thick wooden door being kicked open by Thaddeus reverberated through the room, shattering the silence of the chamber filled with the lingering scent of ancient medicinal herbs.Thaddeus stormed inside, breathing heavily, followed closely by Aerilia, whose blazing eyes swept across the room with fierce vigilance.On an ornate, elevated wooden bed at the far end of the chamber lay Mentor Gu Hai, utterly motionless.The veteran martial artist's face was deathly pale, his eyes tightly shut, and his breathing came in ragged, labored gasps.Dried patches of dark blood stained his lips and the collar of his white robe, underscoring just how critical his condition had become.Yet what caught Thaddeus's attention most was not his mentor's suffering, but the figure sitting casually in a wooden chair right beside the bed.A man in a black suit slowly rose from his seat, his tall, sturdy frame emerging beneath the impeccably tailored fabric.He brushed down his neat su

Thaddeus’ footsteps paused briefly on the marble courtyard of the Northern Mountains Martial Arts Academy.The cold mountain breeze pierced his skin, carrying with it the distinctive scent of pine and aged wood resin that permeated the entire legendary martial arts compound.Before him, hundreds of academy students and members of the Special Forces still stood at attention in their ceremonial formation, awaiting orders from the undisputed heir.Thaddeus casually waved his hand, signaling the guards to disperse and return to their respective posts.Without wasting any time, he continued toward the main hall of the inner residence, where Mentor Gu Hai's private chambers were located.Beside him, Aerilia Drake walked at an easy pace. She drew her black coat closer around herself, enjoying the tranquility of the mountain air, so different from the hustle and bustle of the big city.Remembering the question that had been bothering him since their arrival, Thaddeus glanced at the woman besi

"Why didn't anyone tell me about this sooner?!"Thaddeus's voice rose, tinged with a rare sense of panic. His eyes widened as he stared at Aerilia, his expression filled with deep concern.The news that his mentor, Gu Hai, was in rapidly deteriorating health struck him like a devastating blow, shattering his composure that night.Aerilia looked at Thaddeus apologetically. She pulled her black coat closer around herself before explaining gently."I only received this intelligence a few hours ago, Thaddeus... And you know very well that from this afternoon until midnight, you were busy dealing with the chaos and family drama at the Kincaid residence.""I didn't want to disturb you in the middle of such a complicated situation. That's why I'm only telling you now."Thaddeus clenched both fists tightly. His heart was pounding, not out of fear, but because of the immense respect and gratitude he owed his mentor.Gu Hai was his adoptive father, martial arts teacher, and the man who had shap
