"Clap! Clap!! Clap!!!" Applause echoed through the room as James turned his attention to Victor, witnessing him enthusiastically clapping his hands.Victor, with a satisfied smile, remarked, "You certainly possess audacity to issue threats to my person in my presence."In response, James said, "Initially, I failed to discern your actions, but fortunately, I have a keen observer. Your confidence is well founded. You not only dispatched Julius and my associates but also rescued your mother in law. Your prowess as a cultivator in the Noble Realm is impressive, cleverly concealed to the point that even I was nearly deceived."Approaching the motionless, or rather lifeless, Mr. Cooper, James retrieved a needle discreetly stuck in his heel."Remarkable precision! Your throw was executed with such unexpected speed that I couldn't even track it with my own eyes. Such good aim and accuracy," James remarked, his gaze fixed on the acupuncture needle. In the ensuing moment, he gestured as though
Sporting a displeased countenance, Mike wore an expression of displeasure on his face. While engaged in a fierce confrontation with Victor, Victor skillfully extricated himself from the ongoing skirmish, redirecting his focus to another battle where he sought to rescue Malik.In a fit of indignation, Mike bellowed, "How dare you disrespect me?" His anger propelled him forward, launching a powerful punch toward Victor in an attempt to assert dominance.Enraged by the sight of his fallen subordinates, James channeled his anger and actively joined the fray alongside Mike. Together, they relentlessly besieged Victor, leaving him no respite in the midst of their coordinated assault. Victor found himself caught between the dual onslaughts, enduring a continuous barrage that allowed him little room to breathe.At this juncture, Josephine exuded immense joy, her sole desire being the sight of Victor's death. Meanwhile, Malik harbored concerns, observing the unfolding events with a sense of
As the swirling dust gradually subsided, the onlookers witnessed an astonishing sight – James, who had attempted to stomp on Victor, was forcefully propelled backward, and Victor stood enveloped in an ethereal, faint white light.As James regained his footing, confusion etched across his face, he asked, "What just happened?"Meanwhile, Mike, his gaze unwaveringly fixed on Victor, uttered with a sense of disbelief, "He's breaking through."In synchronous realization, both James and Mike exchanged a determined glance, vocalizing almost simultaneously, "We cannot allow him to break through."Swiftly, they materialized next to Victor, launching potent punches infused with their spiritual energy at him with remarkable speed.However, the forceful blows aimed at Victor were not met with impact; instead, they were absorbed by the ethereal, faint white light enveloping him.Witnessing this extraordinary phenomenon, Mike quivered, a surge of fear prompting him to pivot with the desperate inten
Victor nodded decisively, rendering Mike unconscious with a swift blow before dialing Martin's number. "Both of you, head to the Cooper family's residence immediately. No time to waste."Following the call, he also sent a text message to Martin without delay.After concluding the conversations, he leisurely approached Josephine, delivering a sinister message, "A contract will soon arrive, and you will willingly relinquish all the properties your family has. I'm sure you have the whole power to that."Defiant, Josephine retorted with hatred as she spat on him, "I would never do such. I would rather die than surrender to you."Victor casually wiped away her spit, chuckling, "So be it. Your wish will be granted, but rest assured, I will still claim all the properties. You should know there is always a way."Victor shifted his attention to the family members of Wilson and Morris, who glared at him with unmistakable animosity.His actions had undeniably fueled their resentment, having been
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
