In Celestria's old city district, within the garden of a certain small villa.Spencer, wearing silver gloves, led seven or eight men in black, blocking the entrance to the villa.Theophilus stood with his arms folded in the garden.On the ground, several men with sharp eyes lay scattered, each with a mysterious dragon tattoo on their wrist."Who are you? Why can you control the Black Dragon-Guard?"The leading man lying on the ground, his eyes filled with terror, looked at Theophilus, his face dripping with sweat.These men were the Metal Dragon-Guard being monitored by Spencer.They naturally recognized the origins of the silver gloves on Spencer's hand. It was the sharp weapon of the Black Dragon-Guard.But internal news from Mysterious Royal-X had spread, the Black-Dragon King had fled with the Black Dragon-Guard...The sudden appearance of the Black Dragon-Guard in Celestria, monitoring and attacking their Metal Dragon-Guard, was truly shocking and terrifying news."Spencer, deal
Azure Dragon suddenly stopped, saying to Theophilus: "Young Master Alexander's chess skill truly inherits the essence from your predecessor, your moves are unique.""We don't need to continue this game any further.""Until the end, it's impossible to know the outcome, but I'm not sure I can win against Young Master Alexander, so let's leave this game unfinished."Theophilus also stopped, saying: "That suits me as well.""What do you plan to do in the Celestria game? Don't hesitate to share with me." Azure Dragon said directly."Before leaving Celestria, I'll support any of your strategies.""I can also tell you, I arrived in Celestria even before you and Phineas.""With the situation here, I know more than you and Phineas."Theophilus smiled faintly: "How can I trust you?""Is Ernesto's life and the head of Hidden Sword True Master enough?" Azure Dragon asked.Theophilus furrowed his brows, looking deeply into Azure Dragon's eyes."Hidden Sword True Master has used the Sword Sovereign
After all, Mr. Watson had reached the Heaven tier, otherwise, he wouldn't have become recognized as Heavenly King Watson by the underworld.With Azure Dragon King's covert protection, Theophilus could also act more freely."Young Master Alexander, rest assured, no matter how big a scene you create, I can clean up the aftermath for you." Azure Dragon said slowly.Theophilus smiled lightly.Azure Dragon also smiled.Both lifted their cups, taking a sip of tea."Young Master Alexander, here is the intelligence from Hidden Sword True Master." Azure Dragon King handed him a black box: "If you need to meet in the future, send Spencer to find me."Theophilus accepted the black box and nodded slightly."I need to negotiate with Phineas now, so I won't stay here any longer." Azure Dragon said seriously.Theophilus nodded.A moment later, both disappeared from the spot simultaneously.The spacious room was left with only an unfinished game of black and white chess.Theophilus stepped outside th
With Azure Dragon speaking up, Phineas felt like he had taken a tranquilizer, no longer worried.After all, Azure Dragon had faced many major events before, like the time the underworld of Empyria fought against the Western underworld, where Azure Dragon once held the thunderbolt, victorious in every battle.A small place like Celestria, with Azure Dragon here, victory was certain....Elsewhere, after Theophilus returned to the inner city of Celestria, he received a call from Hayden, saying the second young master of the Phillips family was organizing a party and wanted to invite him.Theophilus thought for a moment, ultimately agreeing to attend the party.Hayden and Nameless also drove to pick him up.The black Bentley drove on the bustling main road towards the Phillips family's headquarters, the Emerald Water villa."Young Master Alexander, have you heard? Chester has ascended to the Heaven tier and returned to Celestria." Hayden said."I haven't heard anything about it." Theophi
"Please, let's not be too hasty, if there's anything we can talk it over slowly." Mr. Phillips the Second, seeing the profound look in Theophilus's eyes, immediately understood and spoke up to mediate."Today is a joyful day for the Phillips family. If there are any grievances, please step outside to discuss." Mr. Phillips the Second looked around at everyone and said seriously.With Mr. Phillips the Second, the host, speaking up, the expressions of those present turned complex.The seniors of the major families wanting to use the opportunity to trouble Theophilus all appeared doubtful.It was very clear Mr. Phillips the Second held Theophilus in high regard, being able to stand up for him in such a situation.What did this indicate?It indicated that in Mr. Phillips the Second's perception, the importance of Theophilus alone was greater than a group representing the major families!This was a rather significant signal."Mr. Phillips the Second, last time Theophilus disabled the marti
Theophilus smiled faintly: "How could I fear death if I aim to achieve great things?""Let's act tonight.""Good!" Phineas praised, pleased: "Azure Dragon, I told you Young Master Alexander wouldn't be inferior to anyone and would surely agree with our plan."Afterward, Phineas looked at Theophilus seriously: "I have already pinpointed Ernesto and Hidden Sword True Master's location, but I can't confirm if Stuart is in contact with them or could intervene.""Therefore, Azure Dragon will not take action, only silently observe.""I'll restrain Hidden Sword True Master, you deal with Ernesto.""Killing Ernesto, forcing Hidden Sword True Master to retreat, would be the perfect outcome, avoiding provoking Sword Sect.""If there's no other way, then take the opportunity to kill Hidden Sword True Master too."Hearing this, Theophilus thought silently for a moment: "If Ernesto dies, would Sword Sect let it go?"Phineas frowned: "This would require Young Master Alexander to use his status as t
Hidden Sword True Master waved his hand, and suddenly a group of elite fighters swiftly occupied the entire courtyard.Simultaneously, a middle-aged man with an imposing presence stepped out of the loft, standing beside Hidden Sword True Master."Cleveland Miller of the Sword Sect greets Mr. Hawkins and Young Master Alexander."The middle-aged man who stepped out of the loft spoke with a mocking expression.He wore a gray suit, his eyes sharp as knives, radiating an extremely strong presence."Cleveland Miller?"Phineas looked solemnly at Cleveland Miller, a hint of wariness in his eyes.Cleveland is one of the two guardians of the Sword Sect, a renowned master of the Heaven tier.Although his strength is not as great as Hidden Sword True Master's, he is not much weaker than Phineas.With another powerful master like him, the outcome of this battle is unpredictable.Theophilus looked indifferently at Cleveland who had just appeared.Another Heaven list master had arrived.This didn't
Whoosh!Suddenly, Cleveland launched a sword strike, merging his body and sword into one.He charged like lightning, directly aiming at Theophilus's back.At this moment, fierce sword energy enveloped the area, the killing intent extremely strong.Theophilus did not turn back, his expression indifferent.He stretched out his hand and lifted it, twisting his fingers horizontally.Clang!A crisp sound echoed.Cleveland's figure froze behind Theophilus, his long sword tightly clamped between two of Theophilus's fingers.The blade vibrated as if screaming, but it could not move.Cleveland's face paled, his sword-wielding wrist trembled.He couldn't believe Theophilus could catch his sword!Moreover, Theophilus was still facing away!This was absolute power capable of crushing everything!Simultaneously, a force ran along the sword into Cleveland's body.He stood motionless, unable to move, his body also devoid of strength.Internal energy invaded his body like a mad dragon rampaging every
