In the Sword Sect, upon his return, Santiago immediately took care of Rodney's faction.He helped the Famous Sword True Master to sit on the Master's chair.He also knew his own lazy nature, totally unsuited for the Master's position, but now he was only in his forties, still capable of fighting for the Sword Sect for a few more years....On a small island outside Tranquility Phoenix.A person in a black cloak stood on a submerged rock, holding a fishing rod, focused on fishing, while Mr. Watson stood not far from him.Mr. Watson gravely looked at the man in black:"Theophilus has returned, moreover, his strength has greatly increased, at least half a step into the Divine Realm!"The man in black raised his hand, retracting the fishing rod he had cast, and said with a laugh: “Just half a step into the Divine Realm, that's nothing to me, but I went looking for the Divine Realm expert you mentioned and don't know where he has hidden. He wasn't in the secret mountain cave of Mysterious
Theophilus smiled too, remembering Kenna from Evergreen Terrace a year ago, but surprised to see her again in Maple Glen a year later."What a coincidence, Ms. Edwards!"Kenna smiled and said: “Mr. Jake, you can come in with me. My invitation can bring two people."Kenna had seen the situation with Theophilus and Chester but knew Theophilus's status was not simple; otherwise, the Cromir family wouldn't have been so courteous to Theophilus at Evergreen Terrace.With Theophilus's capabilities, securing an invitation would be easy."Kenna, don't be rash!"Seeing this, the young man, Tobias, yelled at Kenna. He had just ridiculed Theophilus and Chester, and now Kenna was about to bring them in. Wasn't this a slap in his face?"Tobias, Theophilus is my friend. It's not your place to worry about what I do!"Kenna then led Theophilus and Chester towards the hotel, and with Kenna leading the way, the guard at the door dared not stop them, given the strong influence of the Edwards family in Ma
When Ignacio approached Theophilus and Chester, everyone was shocked, wondering who this middle-aged man was to dare approach the three, especially at a time like this. Didn't he fear getting implicated?Only a few people saw Ignacio just now talking with important figures like the president of the Maple Glen Trade Association, Roger. Being able to converse with such individuals was no small feat.Stefan's expression changed too, though he didn't know who Ignacio was, anyone who could talk with Roger surely wasn't simple. However, he didn't know what relation this middle-aged man had with Theophilus.Ignacio ran up to Theophilus, raising his hands and saying: “Young Master Jake, after our last encounter in Celestria, I never expected to meet you again in Maple Glen. I've visited many times but only managed to see Mr. Ninh."Theophilus responded to Ignacio's enthusiasm with a light handshake before quickly letting go, without saying anything further.Ignacio must have heard something t
After Theophilus's group left, some family managers exchanged looks before turning to their bodyguards: "Please, take Chairman Peters to rest."Roger did not dare to object, allowing the guard to lead him towards the elevator."Mr. Charlie, Ms. Edwards, who exactly is Young Master Jake?"A leader of a major clan asked in a low voice.Kenna was somewhat startled and said: “I don't really know either. I met Mr. Jake in Vi Chau. I only know that Mr. Jake is a distinguished guest of the Cromir family.""The Cromir family!"Everyone started buzzing, the Cromir family being a leading power abroad. In front of the Cromir family, the forces in Maple Glen were like ants."Of course, Young Master Jake is a distinguished guest."Ignacio scoffed and said: “Do you know about Pyra Terra, about the Phillips family in Celestria?""The Jake family in Pyra Terra!""The Phillips family in Celestria!""The two young masters just now, one named Jake, the other Phillips!""My God!"Several leaders of the m
As soon as someone heard Phineas had offended Theophilus, they hastily cut off contact, only kindly reminding that even if it meant bankruptcy, Phineas must secure Theophilus's forgiveness, or no one could save the Callum family.Thus, Phineas initially intended to send Mabel over through the butler, but decided to deliver her personally instead, wanting Theophilus to feel his sincerity."Oh!"Theophilus did not even lift his head, casually responding.Phineas, nervous, quickly said: “It's like this, Mabel admires Young Master Jake as a heroic youth and wanted to get acquainted with you, so now I've brought Mabel here, shamelessly. I won't disturb the two young people anymore!"After speaking, Phineas Callum hurriedly left the room, even closing the door behind him, not forgetting to glance at Mabel. Mabel, protected by him, was still very naive. He initially planned to groom her to flatter important figures, and now it was a good opportunity, using Mabel to secure safety for the Call
Three days later, at the main headquarters of the God Of Light organization.Inside the temple, there were many large statues of deities from ancient mythology, making the place look less like the headquarters of God Of Light and more like a tourist attraction, bustling with visitors taking photos.Theophilus, Brady, and Magnolia walked along the path that wrapped around the temple, slowly making their way inside."This doesn't look like the headquarters of a major organization at all!"After a few steps, Magnolia exclaimed, her first visit here feeling somewhat novel."People from God Of Light like to play god.” Brady murmured, also unsure why the organization had turned its headquarters into this.Theophilus eyed the continuous stream of pilgrims and the massive stone statues suspiciously but quickly regained his composure....Inside the inner sanctuary.This area was not open to the public, and from three days prior, major underworld forces had received notices from both God Of Li
As the Blood Angel spoke, Theophilus's expression remained as calm as water, only his sleeve flicking lightly.The giant sword above him carried an overwhelming momentum, cutting through the air towards its target.Observers felt a chilling fear, wondering if this time a victor between East and West could be determined. Was the Eastern master, Theophilus, stronger, or was it the legendary Western angel?Everyone fortified themselves with their protective Qi, focusing intently on the match.Facing the blood dragon rushing towards him, Theophilus showed no emotion. He simply raised his right hand and pressed it down in mid-air, shouting:"Slayer!"The giant sword struck the massive body of the blood dragon with such force.Observers had thought this duel would be like a meteor crashing into the earth, a pinnacle clash between Eastern and Western masters. However, the outcome was beyond everyone's expectations, including the five arbitrating knights.The giant sword easily bisected the l
The killing aura instantly enveloped the entire temple, making everyone inside feel as though they had fallen into an icy pit.The aura emanating from Theophilus was terrifying.In just a blink of an eye, it was as though a massive mountain was pressing down on the temple. Even Brady and Magnolia felt an overwhelming force descending from him, rendering them breathless. The surrounding vegetation was flattened by the invisible pressure.Brady stepped back two paces, staring at Theophilus. This was the real power of someone half-stepping into the Divine Realm. The mere presence of him had already deprived Brady of his will to fight.Members of God Of Light and civilians were in even more distress, finding themselves seated on the ground, gasping for air.Dawn and Odin also looked at Theophilus with serious expressions. Although Theophilus had defeated the arbitrating knights, they hadn’t taken him seriously until now.The sudden explosion of aura from Theophilus put them on edge.Holy
