***** Meanwhile, on an island in Rex City, which Olive had purchased a few weeks ago, a massive cargo ship was docking right now. Standing ashore, a few men in black stood with a tense expression on their faces, staring at the Cargo ship. "Have you guys figured out why the master is deploying all the brothers here?" one of the three leaders in front of the men on the shore asked, glancing to the side, but the other two shook their heads. "Master wanted us to blow up the entire city before, but now that his order is for us to stop and he’s coming himself, what right do we have to speculate?" One of them inquired while the second one only frowned. Seeing that he wouldn’t be receiving any response, the man who had asked the question shook his head before looking back toward the ship. By this time, the Cargo ship was already done ducking. "March!" the three men at the front barked in unison and following their command, the men in black behind them marched forward in a highly discip
*****Inside a living room that was filled to the brim with a tense atmosphere, four people sat in absolute silence.Two of them had faces etched heavily with shock and disbelief while one of them was filled with nervousness, as for the last of them, no matter how much he tried to hide it, the look of pride and joy on his face was just too obvious.These four people were Ava, Smith, Olivia, and Ares.Ava and Smith just learned the news of their daughter’s condition, that she is pregnant for Ares.The news was just too shocking that even the usually fierce Ava couldn’t react for a long time.She and her husband sat with their mouths and eyes wide open, gaping at their daughter as though she had just revealed a heaven-and-earth destructive level of news.This silence lasted for almost an hour before finally, Ava suddenly shook her head.“I must be dreaming,” she mumbled to herself, then she slowly rested her back against the couch backrest and then shut her eyes, dumbfounding Ar
***** Mason had been completely busy and engrossed in preparing for the next day’s action after returning to the villa that day. He had even utterly forgotten about the men he gave the task to monitor Ares round the clock, but that was before he received a sudden message from them. At first, Mason was too lazy to check the message, however, he changed his mind after thinking that it might be an important message. The content of the message was; «We’ve gotten a piece of important intel which might be important, concerning the target.» Mason’s eyes immediately constricted upon reading this. “A piece of important intel that might be important to me?” He mumbled to himself before suddenly, a sort of fear took over his heart. ‘Hope it isn’t that that bastard had found out that I’ve been busy laying around traps for him?’ The instant this thought crossed his mind, Mason became terrified. Perhaps, he wouldn’t even have gone through the trouble of being bothered to poison Ar
*****“You are telling me that that so-called Vanguard who had outright rejected my goodwill to join my sect is also determined to kill the so-called grandmaster you have found?”Inside a dark meeting place, the grand elder who presently pressed his phone against his ears asked.He had initially not wanted to answer the call, given how he was in an intense meeting.However, hearing what his son had just reported to him, his mood became even more great.“This is great.” He suddenly laughed, scaring everyone in the meeting place as they had never seen him laugh before.Even Mason, who was at the other end of the call was scared badly.He hurriedly checked the ID of the person he was calling, to make sure he hadn’t made a mistake. However, seeing that it was really his father, he swallowed hard.‘Have… have I bathed the wrong soap?’ he thought as his heart began to pound hysterically.However, it looked like his father hadn’t finished giving his shock, as his next word finally s
*****“You think a no-name person would be capable of killing the enemy we weren’t able to kill even after deploying almost all the power of our sect times without number?” The Patriarch inquired, sounding incredibly disappointed.The grand elder immediately understood why no one was excited about the news he just shared.‘No wonder nobody else but me could be the brain of this sect,’ he thought with a sigh in his mind before carefully looking at the Patriarch.“Number one, we don’t know whether the grandmaster found is the same one we had fought against for centuries,” he suddenly stated calmly, no longer showing any of his previous excitement.Before anyone could react, the elderly man continued. “It might be that person’s descendant, moreover, even if it’s that person, for him to have shown his face now after disappearing for some years only indicated that they are now very certain of their strength.”Everyone’s brows immediately furrowed, hearing the grand elder’s explanatio
***** Although he was severely injured, Master Liam wasn’t sad per se, instead, he was presently thrilled beyond words, as he had never anticipated that his impulsive action would result in such a significant reward. It wasn’t that master Liam intentionally wished to give his life away by sneaking his way into the lion’s den. No, he went because he was overwhelmed by intense curiosity. The reason for this curiosity was to understand why the Demon sect would suddenly withdraw just when they were so close to butchering him. That's correct. Master Liam truly believed he would lose his life this time when the Patriarch of the Demon sect, whose strength likely matched that of his own master, joined forces with his men to face him. He had even resolved to fight to the death, never expecting that just as the two sides were about to clash, the Demon sect would withdraw, glaring at him with ferocity and reluctance. Being no fool, Master Liam quickly deduced that something urgent must hav
*****Ava’s shout of fear filled the car and almost deafened the trio with her, then she became pale.“Do you bastard even know what an enormous place like Greenville estate entails?”“You useless entity! Not even the entire main family would be able to pay if we were caught trespassing!!!”Ava was really scared shitlessly this time around, dumbfounding Ares.He had always thought Ava was a courageous woman who had no fear for anyone and anything, but now… Ares finally smiled wryly after a while of hearing Ava’s yell.He was about to assure her when he felt a sudden hard tug on his chair. “Turn this fucking car around now you wretched bastard! I’ve made up my mind not to accept you!”Her voice was filled with certainty and gave way to no argument, showing that no matter what anyone told her, she wouldn’t listen again.As soon as Olivia heard this, her heart pounded hysterically in her chest and she quickly looked toward her father for help.What she saw instantly made the wor
***** This is the sort of wife he wanted. One that would freely show her emotion before him and not one that would only always exclude coldness whenever she sees him. Filled with love, Ares slowly raised his head to pat Olivia’s head, but then suddenly, he felt two icy-cold auras rushing at him from the back. One was normal while the other was laced with killing intent, causing Ares’s heart to immediately shake before he hurriedly took back his hand. “I was only trying to ignite the engine,” he looked back and explained with a nervous smile on his face, but neither Ava nor Smith responded, instead, they just glared at him, clearly indicating their disbelief in his explanation, prompting Ares to quickly start the engine after a moment of awkwardness. With that, he drove in silence, and a sense of calm settled over the car, causing him to unconsciously let out a sigh of relief. Meanwhile, the farther Ares drove into the estate, the more nervous Ava became, until she suddenly glanc
