At that moment, the door of the gangster was open, and a figure got out of the car. It was none other than the cultivator and his whole body was concealed in a black mist.

Recognizing that he won’t be able to defeat Nathan directly, he seeks a more insidious tactic to threaten Nathan with the life of Gwen.

As the cultivator began his boastful tirade, the bald gangster started screaming from behind.

“You don't know what he is capable of and you can’t even guess what he can do. You are feeling that you are great just by knocking on a few doors, and you know that my cultivator is stronger than you. He has killed numerous people until now who are much stronger than you. After killing so many people and killing you nothing in front of my cultivator,” the gangster started boasting about his cultivator.

“Where did I land myself, and what should I do now?” Gwen experienced panic because she was unable to control her body and wasn't taking any action, but she believed that someone else was in control of her body. After listening to the boastful words of the gangster, her fear started increasing.

“Is Nathan really capable of facing these people or did I make a mistake by keeping my trust in him?" Gwen doubted Nathan’s capabilities, forgetting that she had already made the mistake of doubting him just an hour or two ago. She doubted whether his capabilities wouldn’t be of any use in front of that man who covered himself with

After a few seconds, the cultivator approached Nathan. Gwen thought he would do something to Nathan and she almost lost hope in everything. If she is normal, she might be able to fight back and save her along with Nathan, but she was grappling with the unfamiliar sensation of being controlled by someone.

“Oh, he already decided to kill you. I am happy that I am able to see him killing you with my own eyes, as recently he didn’t let blood touch his hands." The gangster felt excited and started screaming out of happiness. “Drain all the blood out of his body, let him experience your cruelty and show him you are more capable.”

While the gangster was still yelling with happiness and excitement, the cultivator did something they never expected. The cultivator kneeled in front of Nathan, which shocked the gangster and Gwen.

To be precise, the gangster wasn’t shocked; he was in disbelief. He rubbed his eyes again and again to come out of the dream. He even pinched himself to check whether what he was seeing in front of his eyes was the truth or was he in a dream.

He had never seen a cultivator kneel in front of everyone. He always kneeled only in front of some higher ranks and that was only when he committed some mistakes but he never expected that he would do that in front of someone other than them.

The cultivator said, “There is a reason behind why practitioners call themselves disciples and behind why they kneel down. They do this to admit their mistakes and not to show their attitude or they should not be rude to their master.”

The cultivator added a twist, saying,

“The new mage from the Hermit sect had killed the supreme mage. I'm not sure whether the new mage is you or not, who deceived his master and made sure that no ancestors were left. Please forgive me for my mistakes.” The cultivator apologized from the depths of his heart.

After listening to the cultivator’s revelation and the turn of events, the gangster was still unable to believe it. He never expected that Nathan would be so powerful; however, after listening to the cultivator’s words, Gwen felt a wave of relief hit her and she relaxed. Her hopes for Nathan increased and she felt bad for doubting his capabilities.

Nathan looked at the cultivator, who was still covering himself with a mist. Nathan’s eyes were showing disdain and he sneered.

“Forgive? Forgiveness was not on the plate.” He stated that "if a practitioner is really asking for forgiveness, he won’t be doing things like you did. If you are really seeking it without any bad intentions behind it, then you should not try to kidnap Gwen or cover your face with mist. You did both, which clearly reveals your hypocrisy. So there is no forgiveness for you ever.” Nathan’s face doesn’t show any emotion,and there is no warmth looking into his face. Seeing him like that, Gwen felt he wasn’t the one whom she knew, even though she already noticed that he always wore an expressionless face but right now there is something else. A murderous intent was written all over and by just looking at him, anyone can die in an instant.

After uttering those words, Nathan stepped his feet on the ground and immediately they saw a wind of energy blowing up and rotating in a circle. In the next moment, the black mist was removed, covering his face and revealing the true face of the cultivator.

The cultivator wasn’t shocked, as he was already aware of the mage’s power so he felt that if Gwen committed suicide by killing herself with the gun in her hands, it would bring an end to all this. However, the captivator felt that his powers were frozen and he was unable to cast his spell.

Gwen, who was still holding the gun in her hands as she was still under the control of the cultivator’s spell, felt a force that made her finger press down the trigger. Fear gripped her heart and in the next second, she also felt another force that was preventing her from pulling the trigger.

A few minutes later, she felt the magic that had made her pull the trigger vanish totally and she lowered her gun. She breathed a sigh of relief after she was able to pull down her hand and look at Nathan with relaxation.
