2025-03-14 16:37:12Astrid was shocked. "You arrogant piece of trash! This is Mr. Reginald!"
"Reginald?" Kai sneered and interrupted her. "He’s just a leech living off women—don’t tell me you actually think he’s somebody." Astrid's lips were trembling, she snapped, “You piece of…” But before she could finished, Reginald stepped forward and kicked Kai straight to the ground. A sharp jolt of pain shot through Kai's ribs as his back hit the pavement. His breath came out in ragged gasps. He clenched his teeth, pushing himself up, but Reginald shoved him down again with his foot. “You’re nothing, Blackwood,” he spat. “A pathetic, delusional nobody who actually thought he could compete with me.” “Fuck you!” he huffed with clenched fists, his body trembling but the moment he tried to move, Reginald stepped on his head hard in an extremely insulting posture and crushed it with force. Kai’s breath came in ragged gasps. His vision blurred. A deep, primal rage bubbled in his chest. He absolutely could not be humiliated like this by these scoundrels, never! Kai exerted force once again, the muscles in his sturdy forearms bulging. He found the right moment and pushed himself up with all his might. A full-force punch, raw and desperate. CRACK! Reginald's body jolted. His head snapped back, and he flew off Kai, hitting the ground with a thud. The entire yard went silent. Kai staggered to his feet, his body trembling. His hands clenched at his sides as he stared down at Reginald, who groaned in pain. For the first time, fear flickered across Reginald's face. Kai exhaled sharply. "Not so tough now, are you?" Reginald glared up at him. "You son of a.." Before he could finish, Kai was already on him. His fingers wrapped around Reginald’s throat, lifting him off the ground like he weighed nothing. Reginald’s eyes widened in terror. He clawed at Kai’s grip, but it was useless. Kai’s voice was cold, unrecognizable. "You wanted to break me?" He tightened his grip. "Let's see who breaks first." Reginald's face turned red. His legs kicked wildly. "Kai, STOP!" Astrid’s shrill scream cut through the air. Kai didn’t even spare her a glance—his heart was a furnace, burning with nothing but rage! All he wanted now was to make Reginald pay. This was the price of underestimating him! But in the next second, a sharp, searing pain exploded in Kai’s skull. His grip went slack. He staggered back—and turned. It was Astrid. She’d smashed a vase over his head. Kai ignited in an instant, his bloodshot eyes blazing with fury as they locked onto Astrid. Astrid froze, utterly terrified! Never—never—had she seen that look on his face. It was monstrous. It was something out of a nightmare. “Guards!” she shouted toward the door, trying to mask her fear with false bravado. “Grab him!” A wave of confused bodyguards rushed in. When they saw their boss, Reginald, bleeding and injured, they instantly surrounded Kai. “Kill him!” Reginald bellowed, clutching his neck, rage twisting his features. "I need to see his body today!" With that, he leaned on Astrid and hurried out of the house. Behind them, blades flashed—cold steel in, blood out. For a moment, the only sound in Kai's ears was that of the blade piercing flesh. The pain engulfed him, yet the unwillingness in his heart prevented him from closing his eyes just like that. He shouldn't and couldn't die like this! The next second, a searing pain shot from his wound, growing hotter by the second, as if his sinews and bones were about to be incinerated, only to be reborn! Then… BOOM. A shockwave erupted from his body. The guards were sent flying like rag dolls in an instant, crashing into walls, the sidewalk, and cars. They groaned, trying to stand up, and then beheld a terrifying sight. Kai's face was ferocious, his eyes blood - red, a faint golden light wave lingered around his body, sending chills down one's spine. In the next second, the light wave moved towards his body, and those wounds gradually began to heal. His body, which had been dripping with blood and riddled with holes, became completely unharmed in an instant! This must be a haunting! Kai came to his senses and saw the guards lying on the ground. He looked at his own body in disbelief. What on earth had happened? But before he could make sense of it, a roaring gust of wind hit the top of his head. Frowning, he walked toward the street. Then he heard the low, powerful hum of engines. There was three massive helicopters hovering over the sky. And the largest and most luxurious helicopter began its descent...right in front of him! The entire street froze. People stood rooted to the spot, eyeing Kai's retreating figure curiously and whispering among themselves. Kai’s muscles tensed. Did Reginald already call in reinforcements? That bastard moves fast! But the doors opened. A woman stepped out. Elara Vasquez! The wealthiest woman in Dominus City. The most powerful business mogul. Ruthless. Unshakable. Untouchable. Then, in front of everyone, she bowed slightly. “Young Lord,” Elara said, her voice smooth, authoritative. “The Master wishes to see you.” Kai frowned. Master? Young Lord? What is this—some medieval roleplay? “I think you’re mistaken.” His voice came out low, firm. "No, Young Lord", Elara’s gaze didn’t waver "why not come with me to see for yourself?" Kai’s gaze swept over the helicopter hovering behind him—powerful, imposing, and with a magnetic pull that drew every man in, himself included. He'd just managed to get rid of a life - complicating headache. So why not tag along with her, unwind, and enjoy the sight? With measured steps, he walked forward. As the helicopter rose, he glanced down. The people in the streets were staring in awe. Some still had their phones out, recording. Whispers filled the air. “Wait...that’s Elara Vasquez! The wealthiest woman in Dominus City! She bowed to him?” "Last time, she flung the mall owner out without hesitation! And now, she's bowing to that guy? Who the hell is he?" The videos spread like wildfire. Within minutes, the internet exploded. Who was the mysterious man Elara Vasquez personally escorted? Could he be some mysterious billionaire?

Chapter 761: One Last Battle
The purge left the wasteland noticeably thinner.Entire sections that had been crowded only an hour earlier now had gaps running through them, with several camps already being dismantled as the people Kai had expelled gathered their belongings and prepared to leave. Some went quietly, too frightened to risk attracting his attention again, while others carried the bitter expressions of people who still believed their punishment had been unfair but possessed enough sense to keep those thoughts inside their heads. The dead were removed quickly, the wounded treated, and what remained of the alliance slowly reorganized itself around those who had chosen to stay loyal when it mattered.Emily watched all of it from the edge of the gathering.Kai stood nearby with his hands behind his back, looking almost bored now that the internal problem had finally been dealt with. Abigail was speaking with Elder Harkan a short distance away, while Vivienne stood farther off with several people from the d
Chapter 760: No Use for Cowards
That single question did more damage than the pressure crushing the stage ever could.For several seconds, nobody among the rebellion’s core moved. Then one of the men closest to the front dropped to his knees. Another followed almost immediately, and within moments the same people who had been standing confidently behind their new leader were kneeling across the broken platform and the ground below it, all traces of arrogance gone. The change was almost embarrassing to watch. A few minutes earlier, they had been shouting about strength, succession and taking control of the wasteland. Now some were already bowing deeply enough that their foreheads touched the ground.“Lord Kai, wait.”“We can still be useful.”“This was a mistake.”“We were misled.”The excuses began coming one after another.Kai stood there without expression.One of the stronger elders among them hurriedly raised his head. “The invasion is coming. You said it yourself. You need fighters. Everyone here has cultivatio
Chapter 759: Choose How You Die
The reaction did not come all at once. It moved through the wasteland in waves, beginning with those closest to the stage before rolling outward through the thousands gathered behind them. For a heartbeat there was only stunned silence, then someone recognized Kai, another recognized Abigail, and suddenly the people who had known them before their disappearance began reacting very differently from everyone else. Those who had remained loyal to Emily and the old command structure visibly relaxed, as if the weight that had been sitting on their shoulders since the rebellion began had finally been lifted. A few disciples even shouted Kai’s name, and once the first cheer broke through, several others followed, relief quickly becoming excitement.The reaction on the other side was nothing like that.Cultivators who had known Kai before but had chosen to support the rebellion went pale almost immediately. Some stopped breathing properly, while others instinctively took half a step backward
Chapter 758: The Weight of the Real Monsters
Kai, Abigail, and Vivienne stayed hidden for a moment longer.None of them moved when Emily stepped out and revealed herself to the entire wasteland. The shock that followed was immediate enough that it seemed to freeze the assembly in place. Thousands of cultivators stared at the woman they had spent the last several hours mourning, arguing over, replacing, and in some cases openly abandoning. Even the people who had remained loyal to her looked as though their minds needed a moment to catch up with what their eyes were seeing.Emily stood there calmly, her real face exposed and her aura no longer hidden, while the question she had just asked still seemed to hang over the wasteland.Why exactly had any of them thought she was dead?The broad-shouldered man on the stage recovered first.The surprise on his face lasted barely a second before something much uglier replaced it. He looked Emily over carefully, clearly searching for signs of injury, and whatever he sensed seemed to satisfy
Chapter 757: The Dead Woman Speaks
The pressure did not remain without a source for long. From the far side of the assembly, a group of cultivators began moving through the crowd, and wherever they passed, people instinctively forced themselves aside despite the weight pressing down on them. There were not many of them, perhaps a dozen at most, but every single one carried enough strength to stand apart from the ordinary elders gathered in the wasteland. At their centre walked a broad-shouldered man dressed in dark robes, his face hard and his steps unhurried, as though the thousands of people struggling beneath his aura were already beneath his authority.Kai’s eyes narrowed slightly.So this was where the loose thread led.The group climbed onto the makeshift stage without asking permission. Allen tried to move, but the pressure immediately concentrated around him, forcing his body stiff before he could take more than a step. Elder Sophia fared little better, while the Grand Elder’s expression turned ugly as he strug
Chapter 756: The Weight Above Them
The argument might have gone on for another hour if someone near the centre of the gathering had not finally raised his voice above the rest.“There is a simple way to settle this.”Enough people heard him that the shouting gradually weakened. The speaker was a broad-shouldered cultivator from one of the larger sects, not old enough to carry the same ancient weight as Harkan or the Grand Elder, but powerful enough that nobody dismissed him outright. He stepped forward when the attention shifted toward him and looked across the divided crowd.“If everyone believes they have a better candidate, then stop wasting time arguing. Let strength decide.”The reaction was immediate.Some frowned.Others became interested.Allen’s face hardened from the platform, already disliking where this was going, but before he could interrupt, the cultivator continued.“We’re standing at the front line against an enemy that understands only power. Whoever leads us should be capable of standing above the re
