Lucien patted Jack's shoulder. "If you suspect anyone, whoever it is, never hesitate to tell me, okay!"The bodyguard then turned around, about to leave the place."Mr. Galway, shouldn't you apologize to them first?" Jack nodded towards the elders of the sect."Ah, you're right!" Lucien smiled awkwardly. "If you hadn't reminded me, I would have surely forgotten!"He then walked towards the three of them. "Please forgive me for this misunderstanding!"Without waiting for their response, Lucien immediately left the place.After the bodyguard left, Jack approached them. "Please forgive me, but may I ask?""Young man, you've saved our lives!" The first elder slightly bowed his head to show respect to Jack. "Forget asking, even if you want us to do something, we will do it as long as we can!""You don't have to be too polite to me!" Jack held the first elder's arms to make the old man lift his head. "As long as I can help, of course, I will gladly do it!"Jack then leaned towards the first
"As I've told you before!" said Tarquin. "Don't blame me if I do something you think is over the line!"Tarquin quickly unbuttoned his shirt and approached Maartje. However, before the young man could do anything to the lady, a loud banging sound was heard from behind the bedroom door.Bang! Bang! Bang!"Damn! Who dares to be so rude as to disturb me!" The disturbed young man had to abandon his intention. "Didn't I tell them not to disturb me even if the world was ending!"Tarquin walked towards the bedroom door lazily and angrily. Before he could open it, another loud banging sound was heard.Bang!This time it was such a strong push that the door flew off its hinges and hit Tarquin, sending him flying four meters before crashing into the wall.Thud!Immediately after that, dozens of men in all-red uniforms entered the room. However, they dared not approach Maartje. They waited for a girl in a similar red costume to approach the lady.The all-red uniforms were typical attire of the D
Maartje tightly clenched her mouth, holding back the increasing anger within her heart."Lady, forgive me if I interfere!" Ester looked at Maartje with a pleading gaze. "But, may I express my opinion?" The girl knew that Maartje was in a dilemma.Although Ester was Maartje's personal assistant, the eighteen-year-old girl was also a descendant of a baron, so she wasn't too shy to express her opinion to Maartje. Besides, Ester was also a very intelligent girl whose opinions Maartje often heard on many matters.Maartje took a deep breath and nodded her head. "Just say it, Ester!""Do you think by complying with Tarquin's wishes, this issue will be resolved?" Ester whispered in Maartje's ear. "Tarquin has gathered such a large army to intimidate you, don't you think he has other motives besides getting your approval to marry him?"Maartje furrowed her brows, as if trying to decipher Ester's true meaning."I mean, even if you marry him, there's no guarantee that he won't cause trouble in t
"Everyone, listen to me carefully!" Tarquin yelled."Don't let a single soldier from the opposing side stand tall today! Kill them all! And for anyone who can kill the most, I will give a very generous reward to you all!"The shout seemed to pump up the spirits of the blue-clad soldiers even more. "Kill! Kill! Kill!" they shouted enthusiastically.These soldiers were criminals or mercenaries that Tarquin hired to be his troops. Of course, they would do anything for money. Especially when it came to taking the lives of others, which was their hobby."Hahaha! Good! Good!" Tarquin exclaimed satisfactorily.Not only the front side of the villa, but also the villa itself was now destroyed by the onslaught or the attack of the soldiers from both sides.The beautiful villa on the vast land now lay in ruins where blood stains splattered in many places and the bodies of the soldiers scattered everywhere."You're truly a psycho!" Maartje yelled, looking towards Tarquin and swinging her sword ev
"Everyone, stop!" shouted Tarquin.Like a command from the heavens, all the soldiers in blue uniforms immediately halted their attack on Maartje's forces.On the other side, the soldiers in red uniforms quickly understood what they had to do. They didn't waste the opportunity to join Jack behind him."Listen to me carefully!" Tarquin shouted again. His voice sounded not only highly intimidating but also carried a tone of anger."Anyone who can kill this young man," he said, pointing his index finger at Jack. "I will give ten million RG as a reward!"Tarquin then turned his head back to his soldiers. "Of course, you can all kill him together! And I won't reduce the share of each of you who are involved! I leave this young man to you! He must die today!"After that, Tarquin withdrew from the fight accompanied by a Paragon by his side.Meanwhile, the soldiers in blue uniforms still on the battlefield immediately turned their gaze towards Jack. Such an enticing offer, how could they not p
The Paragons could only stare at Jack in shock. It was clear in their eyes that Jack was a terror to them."So, how about it?" Jack approached them, placing both hands behind his back. "Are you still holding onto your word that I can attack you as I please?"Of course, that was merely a rhetorical question.They had almost felt death with just one blow from Jack. And now the young man said he wanted to strike them even more. Only a fool or someone tired of living would say "Yes" to Jack's words.Therefore, without much thought, they knew what they had to do."N-no! No!" uttered the leader of the blue-uniformed troops. "I was wrong! I made a huge mistake!"Ignoring the intense pain on his face and head, he then placed his forehead on the ground, prostrating himself at Jack's feet.The nine Paragons behind him then did the same."Master, forgive my foolishness! I did not see who you truly are! If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have dared to say a word to you!"The Paragon indeed desire
The Paragon stared at Tarquin without saying anything. From the look in his eyes, it was evident that he disliked the Baron's son's condescending words. "What? Why are you looking at me like that? Don't tell me you're also afraid to face that young man?" Tarquin spoke again. Initially, he wanted to torture Jack as cruelly as possible to vent his hatred and anger towards the young man. However, upon seeing the immense power of the young man, Tarquin could only take a deep breath and leave. "Why are you just silent? Answer me quickly!" Tarquin attempted to grab the Paragon's collar. But before he could do so, the Paragon's body had been thrown dozens of meters away. Thud! The body stopped after hitting a large tree and didn't move anymore. "Didn't you say that I must die today?" A young man suddenly stood in front of Tarquin. He was none other than Jack. "Y-you..." Tarquin's mouth seemed to be locked. He struggled to find words. His heartbeat quickened, and cold sweat flowed hea
Lucien stared sharply at Jack. "What exactly do you want to say?" "Mr. Galway, it was you who asked Ester to send so many troops to the villa! But you weren't there yourself! Isn't that very clear? It doesn't take a genius to figure out that you're the mastermind behind this dirty plan!" Lucien now grinned cunningly. "You're quite smart, it seems! Well, since it appears you already know everything, I won't hide anything anymore!" He released his grip on Jack's hand and stared intensely at the young man. "Yes, I was the one who planned it all!" A week ago, when Maartje was still in Rivertown, Lucien went to the Moon Palace with the intention of kidnapping the girl. Not only that. To create chaos there, he killed anyone he encountered, regardless of whether they were loyal to Duke Dujardin or not. He killed them all using a sword he stole from the Killer God Sect. Lucien did this with two goals in mind. First, he wanted to tarnish the reputation of the Killer God Sect. Because unt
