Meanwhile, at the police station, everywhere was bustling with everybody busy with one or two tasks. They were all focused on their work, not even having the chance to have free talk with their colleagues except those who were working together or exchanging useful information.A young man not in uniform walked into the main hall of the police department with an ID hanging on his neck, indicating that he was a cop there.Walking inside the busy hall with a tired look on his face, his white T-shirt was soaked with sweat, a testament of the long day he had endured."Detective Deng, Captain requests you immediately report to his office when you're back," another cop said to him after they exchanged greetings.Without any hesitation, he made his way to the Captain's office.Knock! Knock! Knock!"Come in," a deep voice said from inside.Entering inside, across the table, a middle-aged man could be seen focused on the computer in front of him, his hands speedily clicking across the wide keyb

The next morning, news of the Kensingtons being attacked by bandits was all over the news. People were surprised by this; thoughts of who dared to send these bandits to attack them filled their heads, but one thing they knew was that the Kensingtons might have offended someone or a family more wealthy and powerful than them. The public doesn't know about the current bad terms between the Hidalgos and Kensingtons. In fact, the news about Thomas being attacked in the "Luxe Fernandez Hotel" was hidden from the public and only known by a few people.On a popular TV channel known as ZeeTv, a show was airing. Three presenters were on stage, two female and one male in the middle."Strange that the cops didn't arrive on time, until twenty minutes later," the female presenter on the left side of the male said with a thoughtful expression."It seems like the attack was well-planned because it was reported that the moment these people attacked, the network suddenly went down and they couldn't

"What the hell?... So you're telling us that your daughter disappeared into thin air?"The bandits were pissed off.Pow!One of them shot the bleeding guard, completely killing him off.Everyone gasped in fear when they saw this, terrified as they were afraid of what would happen to them. Instantly, they all caught cold, shivering at the heavy smell of blood."Do you all think we're joking here? If you don't reveal to us where Catherine is, every minute, we're going to kill one person until she is provided."The tension in the air right now was high; no one wants to die at the cold, bloody hands of these wicked souls, who were ready to kill everyone.Marianne and Bridget thought about why the bandits were even looking for Catherine. They knew the kind of person she was; she wasn't troublesome, making them wonder how she could have offended these gangsters."Ahhhhh!" Suddenly, the loud, deep voice of someone crying out in pain drifted over to the ears of everyone."What's happening up

After Bruce came to help handle the bandits outside, William felt relief and immediately rushed off to get to the main deal. "I pray I make it in time. Please be safe and sound for me, Catherine," William silently continuously said to himself as he ran towards the back of the mansion. Checking his phone, he noticed that there was no network, the same as it was on Henry's side. Meaning it wasn't a coincidental attack but was planned for them to use the same trick here too. Unfortunately, they didn't know who they were dealing with, William wasn't the powerless weakling of before; now, he was at a higher level than anyone thought. "After this, I'll make sure I deal with the bastards involved in this," he already had two people in mind, Tony McAllister and the Hidalgos. He already knew about the Hidalgo's revenge on the Kensingtons; it was all over the news. He did some digging into the matter and discovered that the Hidalgos were the ones behind everything. But William wasn't going

Vrooom!On the road, a power bike was traveling at high speed. There was no joy on William's face as he raced the bike speedily on the road.William was riding the bike crazily, with the heavy wind brushing against his face.Even some road users stopped, taking their vehicles to the side and allowing him to pass when they saw his rough mode of driving.Many rained insults at him, but William didn't mind; his head was occupied with getting to his destination right away.Soon, after some minutes, he arrived close to Catherine's house.From a distance, he could see two big buses park beside the Kensington's gate, and several boys armed with guns vigilantly stood there.Those boys task was to make sure that no one came in or went out during the operation.Vrooom!The bandits outside heard the sound of a fast bike approaching in their direction.Without any hesitation, with their guns set ready for things like this, they began to fire at William.William was someone who always plans ahead

"WTF! What's wrong this time around?" William felt uncomfortable as he looked at the notification that just arrived.He quickly clicked on the notification, bringing him to a fresh page.[System alert!!! There is an emergency within your marked user location. Click here to view Catherine's location]"Hope nothing happens to her," William silently said to himself through a tense tone as he looked at the page that he had specially designed for Catherine's sake.The reason for creating the private website was to keep himself updated about Catherine and easily notified anytime there was danger around.Earlier that night, when they were attacked by those gangsters while coming back from Catherine's granny's birthday. He secretly got access into her phone and activated a locator signal inside it.He already had the thought to do that to keep a better lookout for her; he couldn't afford for her to be in any trouble that would endanger her life.Seeing the expression on William's face, Henry a

Soon, the sky was filled with dark thunderclouds, and strange energy surged in the middle of them.Everyone looked up, drawn by the sight."What’s going on?""Look at the sky! Those lightning strikes are terrifying. I’m scared I’d die if even a little spark hits me.""Is that scary event from a few days ago about to happen again?""......""......."Panic spread as people watched the chaos, especially among weaker cultivators who felt afraid.Thunder and lightning flashed across the sky, their loud roars creating a sense of dread.In different clans and sects, powerful experts stopped their training, opening their eyes to the sky with worried expressions."It can’t be," said the grandmaster of the Chilling Wind Clan, fear in his voice. "This energy is different and much stronger than what we felt days ago." He tried to look deeper into the sky but was hit by a wave of lightning that nearly killed him....In the palace, the king stood on the roof of the tallest building, staring at the

The eyes of everyone were fixed on Lu Shang, and their expressions revealed a mixture of curiosity and seriousness.Lu Shang seemed unfazed by the attention, continuing in a calm tone. "Sir," he began, "I would like to know if my friends and I can still participate in the next monster core submission?"Instructor Deng's eyes widened, and his voice betrayed his disbelief. "Wait. You're talking about the class 2 monster core submission?" he asked, still struggling to grasp Lu Shang's request.Lu Shang nodded, his mouth composed into a cute smile.The room fell into an unusual silence as everyone absorbed the weight of Lu Shang's request. Even the Elders and teachers present were taken by surprise. Was Lu Shang being overconfident, or was there something wrong with him at that moment?Instructor Deng stood dumbfounded for a moment, trying to regain his composure. "You want to submit a class 2 monster core?" he confirmed again, shock evident in his voice.Lu Shang's friends watched from t

Meanwhile, the sect leader of the Glossom battalion sect arrived in front of a magnificent building.Approaching the grand gate, he was about to fly through when abruptly stopped."Stop there! Who are you? Don't you know the rule that no one is permitted to fly into the palace except for special individuals?"The guard's voice boomed around the vicinity, which immediately alerted the guards inside. They began to rush out, prepared to attack if the person was an enemy.It was a laid-down rule that flying isn't allowed in the palace vicinity except for some individuals. Everybody knows about this, so seeing someone break this rule in broad daylight was quite shocking.The sect leader obeyed without hesitation, cloaked in black with his face concealed, except for his eyes. He stood calmly on the high wall of the gate, his hands behind his back."Oh, sorry, sire." The moment the guard got to him and saw his face, he immediately went down to his knees and apologized. "I never knew it was y

The junior cultivators discussed amongst themselves, looking at Lu Shang in shock, their hearts sinking in disbelief. Some refused to believe that a 5th stage body enhancer cultivator would be able to hunt for so many monster cores.Even some senior cultivators couldn't help but talk about him, rebuking the idea that he gathered such monster cores with his own strength, suspecting he might have gained them through unfair means."Lu Shang? Isn't he the weakling that Mo Shen always bullies?" one junior cultivator asked, the disbelief evident in their voice."Yes, I still remember him. That's him," another replied, shaking their head in disbelief."I heard he suddenly fought against Mo Shen and even beat him. Not only that, he dealt with Mo Shen and his friends mercilessly," a third added, the shock evident in their tone."I also heard that he and his friend got into a conflict with the Furious Five and defeated them, causing them the biggest embarrassment," someone else chimed in, their

Everyone was stunned by Lu Shang; it was an unexpected scene. It is quite shocking to see a junior cultivator at the 5th stage of the body enhancer realm bring out many monster cores at once.Instructor Deng and other teachers, along with some elders, widened their eyes in shock, looking at Lu Shang as a monster.Only some elders weren't surprised at Lu Shang bringing out numerous monster cores, especially the ones that happened to witness when Lu Shang and his team were battling against numerous class 1 magical beasts with ease.Elder Su had a bright smile on his face. 'I wonder how you got stronger so quick. The sect master must know something about you; he wasn't shocked nor surprised when I told him about you.' He was thinking deeply about Lu Shang."Impossible! It can't be true. He must be one of those greedy fools who cooperated with others to rob his fellow students." A student angrily snorted from the crowd.Hearing that, many junior cultivators became angry, follow suit by cu

Several teachers stood at the very front of the students, ready to move on and conduct the next exercise."Next, we're going to see who gets the highest monster core and reward the five winners...." Elder Su was cut short by the sudden noise of the students, and this time he decided to listen."Sir, when we were finding our way out of the forest, my group and I were robbed of our monster core," explained a girl from the back of the crowd."Same here; many of us weren't able to escape the grasp of those greedy fellows," another among the crowd added, along with some others.He allowed them to finish talking. "How does that have anything to do with us? It's none of anyone's business, or you expect us to come to your aid because you're too weak to defend yourself," Elder Su snorted, his expression cold.Those who voice out their problem shut up, not daring to say anything again, and lower their heads in shame.Elder Su took a few steps forward and then halted. "Why do you think you were
