With a choking sound, another massive spray of blood burst from Pablo's throat.His hands trembled as he lifted them and clamped desperately over his shattered jaw, trying to stop the bleeding."H-How did you… find my… my only… weak point?"Kneeling on the ground, Pablo struggled to speak as he felt his life slipping away bit by bit. He did not feel fear, nor panic.There was only exhaustion on his face, and his hollow gaze rested on Andrew.He had lost.For the first time in his life, he had lost. Moreover, he might not even survive it.However, he was the head of the Hearst royal family. Besides him, the Hearst family had Nate and three other martial gods. Hence, there were five martial gods in total holding down the fort.This was the undeniable honor and strength of the Hearst family. Even now, they were at the peak of their power.If not for the Lloyd royal family producing a monster like Reginald, the Hearst family's glory would have been the brightest among the three ro

Guillermo's face twisted with rage as he clenched his teeth. "Are you threatening me? Don't forget that the Hearst family's interests in Chetvine still depend on me."The voice on the other end exploded. "Shut up, you old bastard! Others may give you face, but the Hearst family doesn't need to grovel to you. I'll tell you one more time: if anything happens to Patriarch Pablo in Chetvine… Guillermo, you will not walk away from this."Because of your personal feud with Andrew, my family already showed you enough courtesy and even helped you. And now you tell me that Patriarch Pablo ran into trouble in Chetvine?"He scoffed and continued, "Mr. Vazquez, spare me the official talk. I can already guess what you consider 'trouble'. Wait and see. I'll take people to the Lloyd family immediately and demand to see Patriarch Pablo in person. If he's not found, then I'm sorry… Chetvine will run red with blood!"Guillermo's face turned livid. He never expected the other side to be so disrespect

"Get lost! I'll kill anyone who gets in my way!"At Chetvine's southern gate, a fearsome old man charged in nonstop from the Sylvan Peaks, carrying towering rage straight toward the city. His eyes were wide, blazing with fury.Before Orson stood 500 figures. They were arrayed in a square formation, their blades drawn in unison, every gaze resolute and cold.The one leading them was Clarence Burnham. A lieutenant general of the military, a martial god in strength. He was Philip's right-hand man and one of the hottest rising generals in all of Holtrien.Standing behind Clarence were Luna and Valerie.Clarence lowered his visor, his voice low and steady as he said, "Grand Elder Orson, the situation in Chetvine is unstable right now, so please calm yourself and return to the Sylvan Peaks."The massive saber in his hands was noticeably wider and thicker than the others. By weight alone, it was close to 200 pounds.The formidable old man with a full, bushy beard was none other than Or

Trevor was carried upward by the surge of power, his entire body leaping into the air. Then, like a God of Thunder descending from the sky, he smashed straight down toward Sheena.The overwhelming pressure blasted outward, flattening trees all around in an instant.Sheena, who had been lowering her gaze, suddenly looked up. Her eyes were filled with icy calm. She clapped her hands together and struck upward with full force toward the falling Trevor.A massive column of energy erupted from the ground, and it collided head-on with Trevor's twin lightning bolts in midair.The two forces tore into each other, grinding and crushing one another.Sizzling sounds could be heard as the lightning pressed down relentlessly toward Sheena. The energy pillar began to falter, receding like a gushing spring forced back.A trickle of blood appeared at the corner of Sheena's mouth and began to spread.Trevor clenched his teeth, his aged face twisted with ferocity. "I told you, you can't stop me.

For a long moment, Lorenzo and Jose stood there in silence. Eventually, Jose gritted his teeth and whispered, "Lorenzo, I've got a plan."A flash of venom passed through Lorenzo's eyes, but his voice sounded pitiful. "What plan? Mr. Vazquez looks down on us now. Hah, it's all my fault. If I were more capable, he wouldn't be like this."Jose hissed, "That's not our fault! It's all because Andrew is unstoppable now. Think about it: the Lloyd royal family is damn powerful. Is that something you or I can handle? Also, that female martial god beside Andrew, Nyx Kerrigan… Can you, me, or even Mr. Vazquez confidently say we could beat her?"He continued, "Look at the major families in Chetvine now. The Reyes family has clearly sided with Andrew. The Harding family was forced to submit, and they dared not make a move. The Cunningham family? Don't even get me started. Andrew nearly wiped them out, and they're in shambles. The Robertson family, like the Reyes family, is utterly loyal to And
