After completing his tasks, Victor proceeded directly to Maple Villa, feeling fatigued from the intense battle he had just experienced.Upon the arrival of the next morning, Victor was abruptly awakened by a phone call from Butler Kain.Answering the phone, the resonant voice of Butler Kain conveyed, "Congratulations, young master, on your triumphant conquest of MidRidge."Surprised, Victor sat up in bed, remarking, "That was fast. You got the news so quick."With a chuckle, Butler Kain remarked, "The Parker family holds significant influence, ranking among the foremost families in all of Varisia. Keeping tabs on every development in a small city like MidRidge is a straightforward task for them."Curious, Victor asked, "Now that I've completed this task, what comes next?" He knew this call was not just to congratulate him. Butler Kain had once talked about a second mission the last time they spoke. However, he was not provided with the details.Butler Kain responded, "It's imperative
Mike's astonishment and bewilderment were palpable as he grappled with Victor's unsettling revelation. "What exactly do you mean by saying you will be dead?" he asked, seeking clarification.In response, Victor wore a sly smile, elaborating, "Essentially, I plan to vanish without a trace. Your task is to establish that when the fatal blow was dealt during our intense confrontation, not a shred of my physical form remained, as our brutal clash left everything utterly obliterated.""Mike looked puzzled as he asked, 'So, how do I go about getting my monthly antidote?'Victor responded, "It's simple. I got you a SIM card, saved the number, and I'll reach out when it's time. I might switch phone numbers, so your number needs to stay the same. Only I should be able to contact you on this number by the way."Victor casually tossed the SIM pack into Mike's hand, sealing the deal.In a moment of liberation, Mike drew in a profound breath, rising from the ground and striding away from the confi
While Victor was in the taxi, he noticed a face that seemed oddly familiar. The individual bore a striking resemblance to the Seventh Elder of the Warden Clan. However, a stark difference caught Victor's attention – this person's attire exuded a level of opulence beyond the Seventh Elder's usual style. Moreover, an air of arrogance surrounded him, leading Victor to dismiss the possibility that it was indeed the Seventh Elder and rather assume it was a mere doppelgänger.As the taxi continued its journey, Victor quickly realized that Palue surpassed MidRidge not only in size but also in complexity. The city's vastness hinted at a more intricate web of power dynamics and political structures compared to the relatively simpler setup in MidRidge.After Victor, Michael, and Malik successfully hailed a taxi, they collectively made the decision to check into a humble hotel. Despite Victor and Malik's affluence, their unfamiliarity with the city prompted them to keep a low profile until t
Victor grinned at Peter, expressing, "Believe me, I find your reinforcements quite disappointing. I expected a more formidable challenge; this is hardly noteworthy." Shifting his focus, he then directed his attention towards the four individuals who had arrived to support Peter."Give it your all or don't complain when you lose badly. Probably, I might not be able to control my strength and mistakenly kill you. It wouldn't be too bad though after all, you're my enemies." Victor said with a laugh.In the ensuing moment, the four men charged at Victor, delivering potent punches at an impressive pace. However, in Victor's perception, their swiftness resembled the sluggish movement of ants. With a casual lift of his gaze, he effortlessly sidestepped every oncoming strike."This isn't captivating; I crave excitement. Show me some action," he urged. As his demand echoed, Victor skillfully evaded a barrage of attacks, refraining from launching any offensive moves himself."Unimpressive; i
"It's truly remarkable, young man, not only can you handle your liquor exceptionally well, but your poised demeanor in my presence is even more commendable.""Most individuals, when faced with the prospect of standing or sitting before me, tend to exhibit either excessive excitement or palpable fear," Wayne remarked, a smile playing on his lips.Victor responded with a chuckle, "Fear holds no dominion over my life. If I were to meet my end due to a lack of strength, so be it. I refuse to succumb to cowardice, a trait reserved for the feeble.""Regardless of the formidable challenges that may lie ahead, even when the odds are stacked against me, I approach them with unwavering determination."Wayne chuckled while rising from his seat, "I have no doubt that someone of your caliber will undoubtedly uncover opportunities and create exploits in this city. Welcome to Palue. Should you require any assistance, don't hesitate to reach out. Take my business card."Having said that, he casually
The taxi eventually came to a stop at a junction, prompting Linda to guide them along a narrow bush path until they reached their destination. To Victor's surprise, standing before them was a lavish villa that exceeded his expectations.Overwhelmed by surprise, Victor asked, "Is this where you live?"Linda responded with a cheerful smile, confirming, "Yes, indeed!"Victor's confusion manifested in his words, "But you! Then why?" The precise question eluded him as uncertainty clouded his thoughts.Linda, sensing his bewilderment, offered a cryptic response, "It's a long story. I will explain later," guiding them into the house with an air of mystery.As they entered the house, it was empty so Linda led them through its corridors until they reached the garage. Within its confines, an elderly man diligently tinkered with various items, completely engrossed in his work.If Victor had not seen a picture of the elderly man previously, stepping into this scenario for the first time might h
Upon absorbing the narrative, Victor directed his gaze towards the mysterious mask, taking a thoughtful pause before raising his eyes to meet Samuel's. Inquisitively, he questioned, "Are you suggesting that this mask is crafted from an actual human face?"In response, Samuel affirmed with a nod, "Indeed!"Victor pondered for a brief moment, his thoughts weaving through the intricacies of the tale, before asking further,"Does this imply that the supreme god denied Magnus the justice he sought?"Samuel answered, "He got the justice he sought. The supreme God made him reincarnated and blessed him with the ability to reincarnate for a lifetime." "And for every life he was reincarnated into, he had been looking for the mask till now. I'm sure once he gets the mask,he will regain all his powers and the consequences will be a bloody war with the gods.""So right now, the mask being in anybody's possession will put the person in danger because the other gods are looking to get their hands
After concluding his business at Samuel's residence, Victor concealed his identity once more behind the mask, regaining the previous face he employed for discretion. Accompanied by Malik and Michael, they returned to the hotel to unwind.As dawn broke the following day, they departed from the hotel with a specific destination in Victor's sights—the residence of none other than Jonathan Wilston or rather the Wilston family.This was the very individual to whom Victor had encountered previously, and gave the dragon cauldron to as a gift during the auction.(NOTE: TO REFRESH YOUR MEMORY, THIS HAPPENED IN CHAPTER 51)"Hmmm, Malik, we are going to see an acquaintance. I'm not hundred percent sure yet but I think they might be involved in medicine. But like I said, I'm not sure, just a gut feeling." Victor said."Malik, we're on our way to meet someone, an acquaintance of sorts," Victor mused thoughtfully. "I can't be certain, but I have this intuition that they might have connections to t
At that moment, it was as if his roar was that of a lion as a gust of wind spread everywhere sending John 1 retreating.Victor closed his eyes as a transformation began to take place in his body as a translucent light covered his body whole.This meant one thing, he was breaking through. Naturally, people's breakthrough were normal and there were no many special things to accompany their breakthrough but it was different for Victor. Victor was a special person and as such some of his cultivation breakthroughs were very special and happened with some special events or elements.John 1 was quick to realise this and immediately rushed to attack Victor but the same way he moved forward, he was blown back almost immediately, there was nothing he could do to stop Victor's breakthrough.John 1 looked at Michael and his two brothers, in the next moment, he appeared there with the quickest speed. He wanted them to end Michael at least before Victor broke through totally.His arrival there was
Victor directed his gaze towards Michael and expressed, "I may not possess extensive knowledge about the roar of a lion, but based on what i have seen you do, I'm willing to give it a shot and see what I can do." Observing Victor's willingness, Michael nodded in agreement.In the ensuing moment, Victor let out a resounding roar, its intensity heightened by the surge of his spiritual energy. While not matching the sheer potency of Michael's lion like roar, Victor's ordinary roar possessed enough force to unsettle those who had encircled them.As the men staggered to the ground, momentarily disoriented, Victor and Michael seized the opportunity to advance swiftly, unleashing a barrage of powerful and precise strikes in their coordinated assault.Michael's thunderous lion roar possessed the formidable capability to render the less resilient individuals unconscious or induce bleeding from their ears and various facial regions. In contrast, Victor's roar, though less overwhelming, had a
In concurrence, Victor made the decision to return to their lodging, and this time, Linda accompanied him, her tenacious nature compelling her to follow. Victor acknowledged that their current hotel, where they had been residing, would inevitably be discovered, but despite this awareness, he opted to revisit the place.While Victor possessed the ability to conceal himself effortlessly—dispatching Michael to the Wilston family and directing Linda to her home, and subsequently altering his appearance with the chameleon mask—he found this approach too straightforward. His desire extended beyond mere evasion; he aimed to assert dominance and subjugate the prominent families of Palue under his control.Upon arriving at the hotel, Victor promptly retired to his room, while Michael and Linda also opted for accommodation. Battling fatigue, Victor succumbed to the need for rest, dozing off for about thirty minutes. However, his tranquility was abruptly disrupted by a knock on his door.Risi
After the video concluded, the security guard interrogating Victor asked, "Given the undeniable evidence, what is your response now?"Victor chuckled, as if finding amusement in a jest, and retorted, "Evidence? Are you referring to the fabricated lies and concoted falsehoods?"Rising from his seat with an apparent intent to depart, Victor's movement triggered a swift response from the surrounding security guards, who promptly brandished their firearms and aimed them at him. The questioning guard pressed on, "Why did you take the life of the mayor's son?" He persisted, adding, "The mayor is en route, and answers are imperative."Of course, Victor was not afraid of the mayor but he didn't want to wait here to see the mayor, he wanted to leave and see how deep Wayne Lois's game could be. Besides, people would never believe the evidence was fake and him escaping was another proof to them but being the person who had a feud with the Lois family, he understood so much.In the next moment,
Victor and Malik swiftly refreshed themselves before making their way to an upscale boutique to acquire some luxurious clothing.Exiting the boutique, as they prepared to hail a taxi, a black car abruptly pulled up in front of them, halting with a screech. Emerging from the vehicle was none other than Linda, the daughter of Samuel.Victor clearly surprised to see her here immediately, "What are you doing here?"Linda's smile widened in response, and she shared, "I had a hunch that you were planning to make an unexpected entrance at the Lois family's gathering. Naturally, I wanted to be a part of the festivities."Victor, feigning innocence, narrowed his eyes and played dumb, saying, "I have no idea what you're referring to. Michael and I are just here for some casual shopping."Linda deftly seized the invitation from Victor's pocket, a swift movement that caught him off guard, revealing his lack of anticipation. Her hands moved with a purpose, extracting the card with nimble precisio
Victor drew in a profound breath, affirming his consent with a nod. The swift pace of preparations for the ceremony caught Malik and Michael off guard, yet not entirely unexpected. The duo found themselves taken aback by this sudden turn of events, but deep down, they acknowledged that Victor's exceptional nature and innate ability to command attention and dominate were ever present, ensuring his influence wherever he ventured.The ceremony unfolded with simplicity, progressing seamlessly. Following its conclusion, Victor convened a meeting with Jonathan and the respected elders.In addressing the assembly, Victor articulated, "Primarily, I wish to clarify my reluctance to assume the role of the Wilston family head. Although I may hold the position nominally, I am committed to entrusting Jonathan with the overarching responsibilities.""He will retain authority over day to day matters, exercising decision making autonomy, except in cases of utmost significance."Jonathan found himsel
A hush fell over the meeting hall as all eyes focused on Jonathan. The anticipation lingered before he addressed the assembly, pondering aloud, "Do you think he should try if he could inherit it?"The one eyed elder took a thoughtful pause before voicing his reservations, "He doesn't share our lineage. It contradicts our longstanding traditions."In response, Jonathan interjected, offering a counterpoint, "The previous leader wasn't a Wilston by birth, yet her influence is the cornerstone of our current knowledge. Without her, the Wilston family was just a struggling traditional medical family."The one eyed elder lapsed into thoughtful silence before breaking it after a minute, asking, "To what extent are you acquainted with his influence?"Jonathan furrowed his brow, reflecting on the matter. "It's hard to gauge precisely, but during the auction, his two companions were very young and both were at the peak of the Noble realm, displayed a clear hierarchy with him.""Their actions ind
"Indeed, he's not dumb," remarked Jonathan. He paused briefly before delving further into the matter, explaining,"Yet, his inability to speak seems to be rooted in psychological challenges. It's likely that some stimuli connected to his past experiences might serve as a catalyst for him to verbalize. The specifics remain uncertain, though."Victor acknowledged the information with a nod, expressing his gratitude, "Alright, thank you for shedding light on this."Jonathan expressed regret, stating, "I apologize for not being able to assist you with any of your requests."In response, Victor responded with a reassuring smile and said, "No worries, it's perfectly fine."Jonathan expressed his commitment, "I will ngage in a conversation with the elders, attempting to persuade them to allow your friend to learn pill making and traditional medicine.""Thank you. By the way, you mentioned your former leader is still alive. How did you come by this information since you haven't seen her in a
"I am Garvin, serving as the head of the security guards and chief guardian for the esteemed Wilston family," declared the commanding figure who led the men that surrounded Victor, Michael, and Malik. He strode ahead, the trio trailing behind, until he halted abruptly. Raising his hand, Garvin gestured and executed a series of signals. In an instant, the panoramic view for Victor, Malik, and Michael underwent a dramatic transformation.Gone were the towering mountains and dense bushes that previously filled their view. In their place stood an expansive compound adorned with distinct villas, each exuding an ancient ambiance that added a unique character to the surroundings. It was as if they were transported to a different era.Infacr, the Wilston family functioned as a self contained community, and as Garvin, the head of the Wilston family's guards, guided Victor, Michael, and Malik through the vast Wilston family compound, he took the chance to show and acquaint them with various ar
