However, as Benjamin had just turned his back and started to walk away, the sound of Phoenix's voice rang out once again."If you dare to take half a step further, my next bullet won't just hit the ground like before."This time, Benjamin genuinely had no choice but to stay put. His eyes, filled with annoyance, focused intently on Phoenix."What do you want? I don't have time to linger here!"In truth, Benjamin knew that Phoenix wouldn't shoot to kill him. However, this woman had a notorious reputation for being unpredictable, and he couldn't be sure she wouldn't put a hole in him somewhere. Therefore, all he could do was stop and negotiate."Meet with my sister once, and I'll let you go!"This time, Phoenix was equally committed, directly stating her demand. However, Benjamin's response was even more adamant."Impossible!""Why?""Because…"His words barely left his mouth when Benjamin's voice suddenly halted. His eyes then filled with an endless murderous intent."Prepare to die!"A
Although it's said that the only descendant of the Lee family was once promoted to deputy leader of the second Dragon Guardians team, it was during that time that the Lee family made significant progress. Countless talents from their family infiltrated high-ranking positions in various cities and provinces.At that time, Denish was also determined to become an official member of the Dragon Guardians. However, he was still young, and his temperament had not yet been tempered, so his patience was not as it is now. After experiencing several hardships, he eventually couldn't endure them and was demoted to a reserve team member.Of course, as a core member of one of the five most prominent families in the country, Denish couldn't accept being a reserve team member. As a result, after being demoted to the reserve team, he couldn't bear it and ran away, escaping from his unit.Due to this incident, the reputation of the Lee family was tarnished, and Denish became a target of criticism. He h
As he spoke, for some reason, he couldn't help but look toward the figure outside. In the eyes of these Dragon Guardians members, Benjamin was not just a former member of Dragon Guardians Team 3. Above all, he was once a war god, a legend that countless members of Dragon Guardians Team 3 deeply respected."Let's go. There's nothing left for us to do here!"After speaking, Phoenix quickly left. But as she stepped into the armored vehicle, her steps suddenly paused, looking back at the remaining members still outside."By the way, each of you writes your report about everything that happened here. Don't hide anything. Just record the events in order. Furthermore, the content must be truthful, and no fabrications are allowed, understood?!""Understood!"The members of Dragon Guardians Team 3 shouted in unison. A glimmer of light appeared in their eyes. However, Benjamin didn't know about these things. At this moment, he had gathered with Noam, Venn, and Olivia. Then, the group quick
Phoenix's voice carried no emotion, just an unassailable solemnity. For a moment, the members of the Dragon Guardians team standing opposite her couldn't help but shudder and hurriedly spoke up."Captain, we've finished gathering information here. Should we leave?"While speaking, the member couldn't help but glance at the figure outside. To these Dragon Guardians members, Benjamin was more than just a former member of the third Dragon Guardians team. He was once a warrior god, a legend whom countless team members revered."Let's go. There's nothing left for us here."With that, Phoenix quickly left. But as she stepped into the armored vehicle, she suddenly stopped and looked back at the remaining members outside."By the way, each of you should write a report on what happened here. Don't hide anything. Just write it down in order. Moreover, the content must be truthful, no fabrication, understood?!""Understood!"The entire third Dragon Guardians team shouted in unison. A glim
"Alright, I won't tease you any longer. I came here today to invite you to my house. My grandfather wants to meet you. Moreover, he asked me to convey a message: if you want to know your secret, come to the capital and meet him. At that time, all your doubts and questions will be resolved."As Griselda spoke these words, her face took on a slightly mischievous expression, making Benjamin unable to resist glancing back at her. That's when he noticed her deep gaze on his left chest area. A hint of suspicion appeared in her eyes, startling Benjamin, who hurriedly tightened his collar."What's the matter? Can't I take a look?"Griselda's words made everyone in the car turn their heads to look.Griselda felt embarrassed and quickly glared at Benjamin, realizing she had said something inappropriate."I've conveyed the message. Whether you want to go to the capital is up to you. But if you do, head straight to the outskirts, near the large lake. That's where my grandfather lives. He lik
"Help me check this car's license plate; I want to see who's inside."Upon hearing Benjamin's request, Venn performed a series of operations. Soon, the computer screen zoomed in on the person sitting in the car. However, due to the satellite's distance, even Venn couldn't identify the person's face. Moreover, the vehicle was moving at high speed. If Venn hadn't been a professional, capturing a moving image on the main road would have been challenging."Boss, I'm sorry. This car is moving too fast. Plus, the satellite I'm accessing could be of better quality. We can only determine that the person driving Griselda is likely a woman, and the car is heading toward New Harbor. If we want to find out who is inside, we may have to go to New Harbor ourselves. Hopefully, the car owner won't travel too far."Seeing Venn's slightly helpless expression, Benjamin didn't say anything. After a moment, he furrowed his brow, pointed at the screen, and spoke up."Venn, help me take a screenshot and
"Benjamin, are you alright?"Suddenly, Olivia's voice rang in his ears, bringing him back to reality. He shook his head slightly, looked at her, and smiled."There's nothing wrong, and I'm just thinking about a few things!"After saying this, Benjamin quickly went to freshen up. A few minutes later, he emerged, and Olivia had already set the table with a simple breakfast consisting of two fried eggs, a sausage, and some cheese.Although the breakfast seemed nothing special, Benjamin's mood was quite good. He looked at the food on the table and smiled."This is the first time my landlady has cooked breakfast for me. I wonder if it's as good as what's served at a restaurant?"Although he said this, Benjamin's actions were anything but slow. He quickly picked up his utensils and tasted the fried eggs. His eyes then lit up, and he continued to praise the meal."Wow, this is the best breakfast I've ever had. You're truly number one!"As he ate, Benjamin deliberately raised a thumb t
In this situation, Benjamin knew very well in his heart. However, he didn't expose it but instead turned to look at Venn."And you, why did you decide to return to your hometown and become the owner of a general store? I remember you had saved quite some money back then, which could have been used to start a business in the city, right?"Upon hearing Benjamin's question, Venn just smiled without giving a direct answer.Seeing that, Benjamin didn't continue speaking either. For a moment, the atmosphere inside the car became much quieter."By the way, boss, I heard you got married. Is that true?"After some time, Noam's voice suddenly rang out, livening up the atmosphere in the car once again. However, Benjamin's gaze turned fierce as he looked at Noam."Who told you that?""What?!"Caught off guard by Benjamin's counter-question, Noam didn't know how to respond, stammering for a while before finally finding his words."It's not a secret or anything. Actually, my wife is the CE
Benjamin, unbeknownst to him, was oblivious to the demonic prince's frenzy over the armor. He held in his hand a command token, under which lay a somewhat tragic corpse. However, a familiar energy emanated from the token, causing his brows to furrow deeply, for a voice resounded urgently within his mind."Chirp chirp!"Deep in thought, Benjamin was roused by Alan's voice. The creature, now the size of a sparrow, perched gracefully upon his shoulder.Recognizing the intention behind the creature's head rubbing against him, a tender smile graced Benjamin's lips: "You did wonderfully." he praised."Chirp chirp!"In response, Alan regurgitated an ancient ring which landed deftly in Benjamin's palm. As it touched his skin, the ring transformed into a golden glow, wrapping around his finger. It was the space ring Benjamin had discovered in the Dragon Palace. Although the spirit inside was dormant, its basic functions remained accessible.Earlier, Benjamin had entrusted this ring to Alan to
Instantly, his face became grave. Only now did he discern the fading form of Alan, with even the flames upon it having waned by more than half. Yet, what was most alarming was the emanating ominous aura from the Demon God's heart, causing Benjamin to jolt and hurriedly shout,"Elder!""Hm?!"Hearing Benjamin's call, an ethereal figure suddenly appeared outside the central region of the altar. Its gaze locked onto the sealed space above the altar."Ha ha ha, foolish humans, my true form is almost here. Once it arrives, I'll reduce the both of you to mere ashes!"Sensing the familiar aura steadily nearing the altar, the Demon God's heart laughed triumphantly.However, a languid voice suddenly intervened,"Quiet!"Following which, an overpowering force, emanating from Benjamin, suddenly descended, shattering the very core of the heart."AHH!"A scream echoed from within. Simultaneously, an ethereal figure, eyes filled with disbelief, turned towards the altar."What is this force?!"Feeli
Boom!Boom!Several blows in succession, and Benjamin had lost track of time. But at this moment, cracks began to appear on the wall before him. They spread and widened until finally, with a full-force punch, the wall collapsed. A vast space revealed itself, stretching out before his eyes.Here, Benjamin beheld a huge sacrificial altar, filling almost the entire space. Above the altar hung a heart. Though he could not ascertain from what creature it was taken, its appearance allowed him to sense an incredibly evil energy, pervading the entire space.Moreover, this evil energy made his mind reel slightly. Were it not for his strong will, Benjamin feared he would have been bewitched by the heart.Instantly, his face marked with caution, he retreated a few steps."This is truly bizarre? How could such an altar appear here?"But just then, stepping back some twenty meters, a sound of great astonishment suddenly came from behind him.Startled, Benjamin quickly turned to see the people who
A few minutes later, a middle-aged man with blonde hair and glasses, holding a laptop, arrived looking somewhat harried and sleep-deprived. He looked toward Red, placed his hand over his chest, and rapidly spoke.“Prince Red, why have you summoned me here? My research is on the brink of completion, needing only one final step. If there's nothing urgent, I would like to return and continue with my work.”After speaking, the middle-aged man seemed incredibly impatient, ready to turn and leave.Seeing this, Red felt slightly annoyed but did not show anger. Instead, his face bore a placating expression, and he hastily replied.“Mr. Steven, I genuinely have a very important matter that requires your assistance. Agat and Orange are in trouble in New Braum, and I want you to go there and bring them back. What do you think?”Red's attitude was extremely humble, a stark contrast to his earlier arrogance and pride.However, Steven seemed not to care, his eyes sweeping the control room in a glan
However, Steven seemed uninterested, his eyes sweeping the control room before he spoke, a little annoyed.“Your Highness Red, such a trivial matter, and you call me here? If you feel overly bored, I can help you with some training time. Within the next twenty-four hours, I assure you that the time spent will not be wasted at all!”Hearing this, Red's eyes showed a hint of fear.Although the man was just a human, his strength was not particularly great. However, Steven's status in the kingdom was very special. He was a scholar, and his creativity was terrifying.Hundreds of years ago, when the kingdom of Autuman was just a small tribe on the planet Namec, their king, then a young man, luckily rescued a human, and this human was the middle-aged man before him, Steven.Harnessing the terrifying breadth of Steven's intellect, in less than a decade, Autuman evolved from a minor tribe, nestled in the wilderness of planet Namec, into a mighty empire. They conquered the entirety of Namec, an
Boom!Boom!Boom!Blood painted the sky, and countless pieces of metal debris littered the ground.A smirk formed on Benjamin's lips. He hadn't expected that after such a long slumber, its power had grown so immense.However, the sight of the scattered armor shards pained him.Such high-quality armor pieces, capable of enhancing a warrior's strength and providing incredible defense, were now in ruins. For someone of Benjamin's caliber, these armors might not pose much challenge, but if equipped by his soldiers, they would have been invaluable assets, exponentially amplifying their combat prowess.Although he felt a twinge of regret, Benjamin didn't blame Alan. Instead, he commended him."Alan, you did splendidly!""Chirp, chirp!"As Benjamin's praise graced his ears, a rush of exhilaration surged through Alan. In mere moments, his form swiftly contracted, taking on the delicate guise of a sparrow, which alighted on Benjamin's shoulder, its chirps melodious and relentless.Witnessing s
"Ha ha ha, I was merely jesting with you." he laughed with ease, his eyes dancing mischievously: "No need to take it so seriously. Anyway, feel free to examine it. It's now mine, and even if you wish, you cannot claim it."With a boisterous laugh, Benjamin, brimming with amusement, effortlessly tossed a ring towards her.Catching a glimpse of his action, a pang of surprise coursed through Fidelma. Still, she reached out, catching the item.Holding the ornate ring in her hand, she felt a strange force emanating from within. The intricate designs adorning it suggested an ancient aura. Fidelma could confidently deduce that this was a space treasure. Its grade was undoubtedly high, surpassing any artifact she had previously encountered in the annals or in the treasury of the Moonlight Religious Sect."Done examining?" His voice hinted at impatience: "If so, kindly return it."Watching Fidelma cradle the ring, almost reluctant to release it, a twitch of amusement played on Benjamin's lips.
Now, even though its headpiece had been severed, it was still far more complete than the other armors.Without hesitation, he approached, with a mere thought, his storage ring's light flared. The entire armor, along with the leader's corpse, was drawn into it.He then surveyed the surroundings once more, detecting no anomalies. Benjamin then proceeded towards Dermot's wooden house atop the hill."Boss, you're not hurt, are you?" asked Azaria, eyeing Benjamin's bloodstained appearance with a hint of concern.Benjamin glanced at him and shook his head."I'm fine; go rest. Tonight, there may be more to do. I'll handle it myself." he said, continuing straight to Dermot's bedroom.Upon seeing Benjamin's bloodied state, Irina suddenly rushed over, her face filled with alarm. She hastily grabbed his hand, her expression fraught with concern."You...you're alright?" she stammered.Seeing her worry, Benjamin merely shook his head without verbally responding. Meanwhile, Dermot emerged from the
Although puzzled, Benjamin refrained from questioning her outright. Instead, his gaze swept the room. Aside from scattered clothing and discarded food on the floor, nothing seemed amiss. It was logical. After all, someone fleeing in a hurry wouldn't leave traces behind."Where did the woman who was in your room go?" he inquired, his sudden question startling Irina, making her let out a soft gasp.At her reaction, Benjamin's eyebrows furrowed, his gaze growing wary: "What did you ask?" she stammered, fear evident in her voice.Reiterating his query but with more firmness, he watched as Irina visibly shrank back, finally murmuring: "She...she said she had something to do and left. Can...can you not look at me like that? I'm truly scared."Tears welled up in her eyes as she spoke, every word dripping with fear. Benjamin felt a pang of confusion but, before he could react, she threw herself at him, gripping him tightly: "Please don't go. I'm truly terrified. This place... I can't bear to
