Hearing the figure’s question, Kai didn’t rush to answer. Instead, he smiled slightly and shrugged like he genuinely didn’t understand what they were talking about, then he tilted his head and said, “Stalling? What do you mean by that?”

The three didn’t relax at all. In fact, their expressions only got colder as they stared at him, and one of them stepped forward slightly, eyes narrowing as he said,

“Do you think we’re fools? You’ve been talking non-stop, asking useless questions, dragging thi

  • 612: A Strategic Retreat

    Kai didn’t rush as he led Jerry toward the inner section of the barrier. The walk itself was calm, almost too calm for what had just happened outside, but that was just how Kai moved when he wasn’t in a fight, steady, quiet, and thinking ten steps ahead of whatever came next. Jerry followed closely behind, his posture straighter than before, his expression more composed, though there was still something restless in his eyes that Kai didn’t miss.When they reached the boundary, Kai paused slightly and glanced back at him. “Don’t force it,” he said casually.Jerry frowned. “Force what?”Kai smirked faintly. “The barrier doesn’t like strangers who act like they belong.”Jerry didn’t respond to that, but he stepped forward more carefully this time, letting Kai’s presence guide him through. The moment he crossed, he felt it again, that subtle resistance melting away, and he understood immediately that without Kai, he wouldn’t have been able to enter so easily.“Intteresting,” he muttered

  • 611: Threads Being Pulled Together

    The moment Abigail mentioned it, something clicked in Kai’s head so cleanly it almost annoyed him that he hadn’t thought of it first. His eyes lit up slightly, not dramatically, but enough for Abigail to notice, and he leaned forward just a bit, resting his forearms on his knees as he let the idea settle properly.“The Immortal Forging Sect…” he repeated, almost testing how it sounded out loud.Then he let out a quiet breath and shook his head once with a faint smile. “Yeah… that works.”Abigail raised a brow. “You didn’t think of it?”Kai shrugged, completely unbothered. “I was busy dealing with idiots,” he said casually, jerking his thumb toward the tied-up pile behind him. “Didn’t really have time to think about networking.”Emily let out a small breath that might have been a laugh, and Abigail rolled her eyes, but neither of them argued with the point.Kai stood up then, stretching slightly like he had already made up his mind. “We can trust them,” he said simply. “They’re not j

  • 610: The Sect

    Hours passed before Kai came out again, and this time, he looked like a completely different person, not in appearance, but in presence. The exhaustion from earlier was gone, the irritation that had lingered after the fight had faded, and the weight in his movements had been replaced with that same calm steadiness that always made it hard to tell what he was thinking. He stretched once as he stepped out, rolling his shoulders slightly like someone who had finally gotten the rest they deserved, and for a brief moment, he just stood there, letting the silence settle around him again.His gaze moved slowly and it landed on the pile.The tied-up old men.They were still there, breathing and still very much aware of their situation.Kai stared at them for a second, his eyes half-lidded like he was debating something important, then he looked away like they were furniture and walked past them without a word.“Irrelevant,” he muttered under his breath.That was it, there was no follow-up,

  • 609: Public Service Announcement Delivered with Fists

    Kai didn’t rush it.That was the first thing that made it worse.He stepped in, closed the distance like it meant nothing, and the moment he entered their range, the entire rhythm of the fight shifted. Their coordination didn’t break immediately, no, they still tried to hold formation, still tried to maintain control, but it didn’t take long before they realized something was wrong.Very wrong.Because Kai wasn’t reacting to them anymore.He was moving through them.The first man lunged with a clean strike aimed at Kai’s shoulder, the kind of move meant to restrict motion and open space for the others, but Kai didn’t block it in the usual way.He leaned just enough for the strike to graze past him, stepped in closer, and drove his elbow straight into the man’s ribs.The crack echoed and the man’s eyes widened before he then folded instantly.“Ah..!”Before he could even fall properly, Kai grabbed the back of his robe and tossed him aside like excess luggage.“Next,” Kai muttered casu

  • 608: The Lesson

    The moment Abigail, Emily, Trouble, and Allen’s group began retreating, the tension didn’t ease, it sharpened. The old men watched them go, but none of them moved to stop them, not because they didn’t want to, but because their attention had shifted entirely to the man standing in front of them.Kai.He didn’t chase or even turn to look at the ones leaving.He just stood there, relaxed in a way that felt wrong after everything that had just happened, like the chaos from a few moments ago didn’t matter anymore.“So..” Kai said, rolling his shoulders slowly as if loosening up for something casual rather than a fight.His gaze swept across them.Then he smirked.“Come.”That was all, just one word.But the tone behind it was infuriating.One of the old men’s brows twitched. “What?”Kai tilted his head slightly, like he hadn’t been clear enough. “I said come at me.”He lifted a hand and gestured lazily, like he was calling over a group of juniors instead of people at his level.“I’ve got

  • 607: Judgment Arrives Late

    The moment they moved, it was clear they weren’t holding anything back, and the shift from words to violence came so fast that even the air seemed to split under the pressure of their auras. Multiple attacks surged forward at once, overlapping, colliding, reinforcing each other, turning what should have been separate strikes into one overwhelming wave that rushed straight toward Abigail like it intended to erase her from existence in a single breath.Abigail didn’t move not because she didn’t want to but because she knew.She knew exactly what she could handle and what she couldn’t, and this...this was far beyond something she could block head-on. Her muscles tightened, senses sharpened, her grip firmed as she prepared to deflect what she could, survive what she couldn’t, and counter if she got even the smallest chance.“Well they are definitely too many,” she thought, her eyes narrowing slightly as the attacks closed in.She braced herself and then something cut through the space i
