David nodded and responded, "Certainly, it's all related to Alexander."Sarah pivoted to face David, curiosity in her eyes. "Apart from causing trouble, what other roles does he play? I've heard rumors that he's connected to the recent disturbances in Fairview involving Young Master G."David leaned in, a cautious look on his face. "Alexander's involvement is both direct and indirect. Can we continue this discussion somewhere more discreet? You know how rumors spread."Although Sarah wore a slight frown, she agreed and motioned for David and Hasen to join her in the car. As she drove, she considered that staying mobile might be the best way to avoid unwanted attention.Sarah finally broke the silence, her curiosity growing. "Alright, spill the beans. What's really happening?"David sighed, contemplating his words carefully. "Alexander has been out of town for a while, but he's been kept in the dark about the situation in Fairview. He's preoccupied with his own matters elsewhere, and up
Later that evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, the lady stirred from her deep slumber, her eyes slowly fluttering open after a day's worth of rest. The first face that met her gaze was Sarah's, who sat attentively by her bedside.In the room, Hasen and David occupied the sofa, their presence casting a protective aura around the lady."I'm safe, thank you for saving me," the lady expressed her gratitude genuinely.Sarah nodded in acknowledgment before delving into her curiosity. "Who are you, and it seems like you were being chased. Who was pursuing you?"A weary sigh escaped the lady's lips as she began to reveal her story. "My name is Helen, from the Baker family, once one of the most prestigious families in Fairview. After our family was usurped, we were placed under house arrest. I managed to escape, and that's why I'm being pursued."Sarah fell into contemplative silence, absorbing the gravity of Helen's situation.Helen continued her tale, frustration evident in her voi
Sarah extended warm greetings to both Old Mr. Chen and Arthur, and their polite reciprocation masked their curiosity about her unexpected presence.Taking the initiative, Hasen stepped forward to clarify the situation, "I'm certain you are familiar with Captain Sarah from the police force, but she's also our primary investor. Her involvement alone eliminates the need for any other investors."The revelation left Arthur and Old Mr. Chen utterly astonished.In response, Arthur addressed Captain Sarah, saying, "Greetings, Captain Sarah, it's a pleasure to see you again. I hope my words won't offend you."He then redirected his attention to Hasen and David, conveying his appreciation, "I'm grateful for your efforts, but I'm curious about how Captain Sarah will contribute. We don't expect her to handle our adversaries through arrests, do we?"Turning back to Sarah, Arthur added, "Once again, Captain Sarah, please accept my apologies if my words seem impertinent."Sarah responded with a fri
Three days had passed since the events in Fairview unfolded. While the residents of Fairview continued with their daily affairs, the situation in Springs was markedly different. Isabelle and her formidable group of mercenaries, known as the Xander Mercenaries, were facing a formidable challenge in the tumultuous region of Rode Island.Isabelle's expedition was split into two teams, with the outer team, under the command of T1, embarking on a mission to assimilate a middle ranked mercenary force into their own ranks. However, what they had anticipated as a relatively straightforward operation took a grim turn when they walked headfirst into an ambush.To their dismay, the mercenaries they had targeted weren't acting alone. Instead, they had forged a surprising alliance with not one, but two other powerful middle level mercenary forces. This unforeseen collaboration had transformed the mission from a simple takeover into a high stakes showdown, where the outer team of Xander Mercenaries
Isabelle responded with a mocking tone, her voice dripping with sarcasm, "Oh, really? I had no idea about those rules. Who exactly came up with such absurd regulations?"One of the opponents, the woman standing across from them retorted, her gaze fixed on Isabelle, "I've heard plenty about you, the audacious leader of the Xander Mercenaries. Your reign has gone unchallenged for so long. This recent victory seems to have inflated your ego to the point where you can't even recognize your impending defeat."Isabelle replied, "Oh, is that so?" She chuckled, clearly unfazed, and turned her attention to Terry, disregarding their opponents. "What's your take on this, Terry? Don't you think the two of us can handle these three?"Terry couldn't help but admire Isabelle's audacious spirit, especially when it came to battles. He willingly embraced her boldness, replying, "Absolutely, dealing with them will be a piece of cake."Isabelle's smile in response to Terry's confidence spoke volumes. She
Isabelle's lips curled into a confident smile as she addressed them, her voice gentle yet resolute, "Belief is a choice, and I can't compel you to believe or disbelieve."Turning her gaze towards the intense battle unfolding before her, Isabelle keenly observed Terry gaining the upper hand. She was acutely aware of the intentions of her adversaries, the man and the woman, who yearned to rush to their partner's aid. But Isabelle harbored a deep determination; she couldn't afford to let any of them escape, for such an outcome would mean disappointment for Alexander.Internally, she mused, "If Alexander can confront a dharma level expert while remaining within the guardian realm, then I, too, can take on these two opponents, even if they are on par with my own abilities."With an aura of blue glow enveloping her entire being, Isabelle moved with unparalleled agility, unleashing a relentless barrage of attacks upon the man and the woman. Her swiftness and precision left them with no op
Isabelle found herself drenched in sweat, her entire body trembling under the weight of agonizing torment. It wasn't merely the searing pain caused by the blade's cruel wound that tormented her; it was the insidious poison that had tainted it, coursing through her veins like a malevolent serpent.In the midst of her suffering, Townsend's keen ears detected the approaching footsteps of the woman. He reached out to Isabelle, his voice laced with urgency and reassurance. "Isabelle, take a deep breath," he implored, his belief in her resilience unwavering. "Your unique connection with the glow grants you immunity to poison, even if we can't explain why it's affecting you now. You have the strength to overcome this."He went on to explain the mystique of the glow, emphasizing its transformative power. "The glow melds your spiritual energy with your physical attributes, elevating you beyond the ordinary. You can harness this power to purge the poison from your system. Though you've wielded t
In City of Springs, Floral Mountains;After three days of uninterrupted slumber, Alexander found himself in a state of astonishment. This deep rest had catalyzed an astonishing transformation within him, propelling him directly from the higher level of the of the guardian realm to the middle level of the dharma realm, bypassing the lower level of the dharma realm entirely.It was an extraordinary phenomenon; if the general populace were privy to the incredible ascension Alexander had undergone merely through his slumber, many would have sought to capture him, driven by a dark desire to extract his life essence. This was not the first time such a thing had happened to him.Yawning contentedly, Alexander finally stirred from his restful repose. "Could someone kindly assist me in acquiring a rejuvenating cup of tea?" he requested, his voice tinged with the weight of his transcendent journey.Master Tobias, whose cheerful demeanor had given way to a momentary seriousness launched a punch
