How dare you hit me?” the man growled, his anger bubbling over as he pointed a trembling finger at the beauty.The woman’s eyes glinted with coldness, and she responded without a hint of fear or hesitation. “I don’t care who you are.

David’s expression shifted instantly upon seeing Caleb. His heart sank as a chill ran through his spine. Quickly, he plastered a smile on his face, attempting to mask the fear beginning to creep in. “Mr. Stones, you’ve really misunderstood me,” he said, his voice forced and trembling. “It’s not that I want to cause trouble here, but someone hit me and now insists I apologize.”Caleb’s eyes narrowed as he studied the scene, his lips curling into a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes. “Is that so? Then I must see who dares to be so arrogant.”Not realizing that Richard was already in the room, Caleb took a few steps forward, eager to handle the situation.

His breath hitched, and the color drained from his face as he stood there, rooted to the spot.The room went still.

David’s face twisted in disbelief as he wiped the blood from his lip. His entire body trembled, not just from pain, but from humiliation. He had never imagined that someone would dare to lay hands on him, let alone someone like Richard. As he struggled to rise, his voice cracked with fury.“You think you can just walk away after doing that to me?” David snarled, his eyes burning with rage. “I won’t let this go so easily!”Richard, his posture still unwavering and calm, locked eyes with David. He could feel the tension in the room thickening. The air felt heavy, suffocating, as if the entire room was holding its breath.

The pain was nothing compared to the humiliation gnawing at his pride. “What are you going to do now?” he spat, his voice dripping with venom. “Do you think you can just walk away after beating me like that?”Richard didn’t even flinch.

With the Dawn Brotherhood retreating into the mist, Richard, Zara, and Kai caught their breath, their bodies bruised but alive. The giant man stood silently, his massive form looming over them. He was older than Richard had first assumed, his face weathered and his body covered in scars that told stories of countless battles.“Thank you,” Richard said, his voice hoarse from the fight. “You came just in time.”The giant grunted, his gaze scanning the forest, still on alert. “You’re lucky I was nearby.

They’re trying to get ahead of us.”Richard’s eyes narrowed. More than one? This wasn’t supposed to be an ordinary mission. Other people were seeking the Xan Ling herb, too.It wasn’t long before the sound of footsteps echoed through the mist.

The journey had been long and arduous, but Richard, Zara, and Kai were close. They had crossed rough terrain, climbed steep hills, and navigated through dense forests. The further they ventured, the more isolated the world became. It was as if the earth itself was conspiring to keep the Xan Ling herb hidden from all but the most determined seekers.After several days of travel, they finally reached the base of the mountains, where Tian Jun’s village was rumored to lie hidden. The village was shrouded in mist, the tall peaks above creating a natural barrier between the outside world and this secretive place.

As he squared off with his opponent, he took a deep breath and focused. For the first time, he wasn’t relying solely on his speed or strength.

There’s something important we need to discuss.”Richard, still processing the chaotic events of the past few days, agreed.

Mr. James looked as composed as always, his usual calm demeanor unwavering. After a brief greeting, they walked together, moving through the busy streets until they reached an unassuming house. It didn’t look like much from the outside—an old, two-story house with peeling paint and a small yard. But Richard had learned long a
