Chapter 10

Author: Eternal Life
All the surrounding tables, chairs, and benches exploded. The glass windows on the wall shattered, and even the bars collapsed. As for Hurley, he flew out like a cannonball, knocked a hole in the wall not far behind him, and fell to the concrete floor outside.

"So…so strong…" Hurley uttered with blood gushing out of his mouth. He twitched a few times and died. He never imagined that as the king of the Nimbulus's underworld, who was admired by thousands of people, he would one day die because of a little girl! If Hurley were given a chance again, he would never accept the Reynolds family's job no matter what! Unfortunately for him, there were no ifs in this world, and all good and bad deeds would have their consequences, and everything had cause and effect!!

Howard spat a mouthful of blood again due to the turbulent emotions worsening his injuries. At the same time, his momentum also weakened.

Was he still too late?! Why did the universe punish him in this way! Was there a need to be so ruthless?! Riley was still a child!

Not long after, the sound of frenzied footsteps came from the entrance. It was Milan, coming in a hurry with hundreds of fully armed police. All of them appeared as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

When the crowd entered the hall, they all gasped at the sight before them. The bustling restaurant in the past had turned into purgatory on earth, and the scene was shocking. Not only that, but the group of people at the front saw Hurley lying motionless in the distance, and they were stupefied.

The man who had influence all over Nimbulus was dead?! What the hell happened here!

Who was the brave person who killed this formidable person in Nimbulus?!

"Stay where you are and wait for my order!" Milan took his eyes from Hurley's corpse, turned to look at his subordinates, and instructed solemnly.

The horror in his heart was no less than anyone else's! When Howard asked him to come to handle the aftermath earlier, Milan vaguely guessed that something big would happen! Hence, he immediately brought his team over after hanging up.

Milan had fought Hurley for so many years, and he knew the man very well.

Hurley was ruthless and scheming, with thousands of younger subordinates under his command. None of them were saints.

Even though Milan was aware that the members of the Blood Shadow Force were very strong, he thought it was impossible to defeat hundreds of people alone, no matter how powerful the person was! If something happened to Commander Lincoln in his jurisdiction, he would really be screwed!

However, after seeing the situation at the scene, Milan finally understood Commander Lincoln's strength!

"Yes, sir!" The crowd stopped in their tracks.

Afterward, Milan approached Howard shakingly and stopped about ten meters behind him, asking, "C-Chief Howard, a-are you okay?"

It was not that Milan did not want to get closer, but Howard's obvious killing intent made it difficult for him to move forward. Even so, Milan still felt a strong murderous aura enveloping him, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

Howard sighed and turned to look at Milan. "You should know about the Reynolds family, right?"

"T-The Reynolds family?" Milan met Howard's eyes, and he almost collapsed. He thought Howard was like a demon that had just come out of hell.

Howard's anger was overwhelming, and Milan could feel his intense killing intent. Moreover, when Howard's sharp eyes met his, Milan felt a sense of fear from the depths of his soul.

"Who are the main members of their family?" Howard continued to ask in a deep voice.

"The older generation of the Reynolds family will be Keith and Holland, and they're brothers. Holland has no children, while Keith has three."

Milan took a deep breath to calm his emotions and continued, "The eldest son, Stephen, and the second daughter, Ellora, are mainly responsible for all the shady but regulated businesses under the Reynolds family, such as nightclubs, clubhouses, casinos, fighting clubs, and so on."

"Keith's youngest son is in charge of the Reynolds family's proper industries, and he serves as the general manager of the Reynolds Group. Among the three children, he's the most highly regarded by Keith. If everything goes well, he'll probably be the next successor of the Reynolds family…"

"Does Lucious have a daughter the same age as Riley?" Howard interrupted.

"Yes. She's six years old this year…" Milan seemed to catch something when he said that, and he shivered. "Sir, what do you mean by that?"

"Lucius's daughter is going to have a heart transplant, and Riley just happens to be a match for her!" Howard responded coldly.

Milan trembled. The Reynolds family was digging their own graves!

After taking a deep breath, Milan asked, "Where's Riley now?"

"Keith took her to Mareno City!" Howard's eyes were red, and each word he said revealed a strong hint of anger.

"What?!" Milan exclaimed, trembling. He knew what it meant!

"Immediately have someone locate Lucius's phone and find him!" Howard ordered.

"Yes, sir!" Milan nodded and hurriedly got to work.

In less than five minutes, Milan's phone rang. After answering the call, Milan looked at Howard. "Sir, we found Lucius! He's in a clubhouse owned by the Reynolds family. "

"Text me the address!" Howard said and quickly walked out of the hall. Then, he ordered, "You're in charge of cleaning up this place as fast as possible. Just set aside Lucius's matter, and I'll call you when I need you!"

"Noted, sir!" Milan responded loudly and forwarded the address to Howard. Two minutes later, Howard started his car and accelerated away.

Not long after, Yoel called. Howard answered the phone. "What's the situation? How's Talia?"

"The head of Aellus family brought people to capture Ms. Talia and her family, wanting her to bring you over and apologize to his son," Yoel explained.

"How foolish!" Howard frowned. "Did you settle it?"

"Yes!" Yoel nodded. "From now onward, the Aellus family will never bother Ms. Talia and her family." After a short pause, Yoel continued to ask, "Marshal, how's your situation? Did you get Riley's whereabouts?"

"The Reynolds family did it!" Howard responded coldly, and he explained the matter in a few words.

"The Reynolds family must pay!" Yoel's voice was equally chilling.

"I'll send you an address. Go there immediately, and we'll meet there!" Howard continued.

"Yes, sir!" Yoel replied.

Half an hour later, Howard slammed on the brakes at the entrance of a high-end club in downtown Nimbulus.

"Marshal!" Just as Howard got out of the car, he saw Yoel running over.

"Mm!" Howard nodded. "Let's go in!"

    "And look at that bracelet, it's stunning! Oh, and the compact has such a unique charm! Should we get one of each to decorate our homes?""Yuffie, you're still in school. How can you afford all this?" Talia chided gently. "You have a hundred fifty-dollar budget. Spend more, and it's coming out of your allowance.""What? Only a hundred fifty dollars? You're being too tight-fisted, sis!" Yuffie's complaint was lighthearted as she playfully turned to Howard. "Howard...""Don't even think about it. His wallet is in my hands!" Talia cut her off, fully aware of her little sister's ploy."Fine..." Yuffie's pout was all in good fun."Haha! It's not every day we get to do this, honey. If Yuffie finds something she loves, let's get it for her. Who knows if it'll be here next time?" Howard chuckled."Yay! You're the best, bro-in-law!" Yuffie cheered, her face lighting up with joy."You're just making her more spoiled!" Talia gave Howard a playful eye roll and turned her attention away from

    Howard's willingness to visit the antique market was not solely to assist the sisters in their quest for a legendary blade. Such weapons were treasures often stumbled upon by chance, rarely found by those who sought them.His real intent was to immerse the sisters in the rich culture of the martial arts clans they were then a part of. More exposure to the ways of the warrior guilds could only benefit them on their chosen path.The following morning, Howard's group of five set off in the direction of Nathanael. Talia and Yuffie buzzed with excitement throughout the journey, their minds alive with wonder.Nathanael, nestled in the mountains to the northeast of Mendorra and a couple hundred kilometers away, awaited them.By 10 a.m., they arrived, parking at the gates of a sprawling estate on the city's outskirts—the site of the famed market.Stepping out, they were greeted by a lively throng at the estate's entrance, many adorned in traditional robes, weapons hanging from their belts

    "And that's not all. They might even be a bona fide king-level warrior." Howard's brow furrowed with uncertainty."It looks like The Dark World is a whole lot more tangled than we thought," Yoel mused aloud.Then, turning back to Howard, he inquired, "Sir, did the old man ever share anything with you about The Dark World?""Not a word," Howard replied, shaking his head."Sir, do you think our mystery person could be from one of the elite families or sects, maybe just there on some errand?" Mystical Chubby chimed in.His speculation was not unfounded. Most of the king-level warriors from Rackaham were known to hail from the secretive clans and sects."It's unlikely." Howard dismissed the idea with another shake of his head. "From what Sabertooth described, our guy seems to know The Dark World like the back of his hand.""Who's that supposed to be?" Mystical Chubby scrunched his brow in confusion."Let it go for now. We'll head back to The Dark World in a little while," said Howa

    "Um..." Blood Rakshasa nodded, the woman's earlier words still ringing in her head."Sir... Sir, was what you said earlier true?" Blood Rakshasa asked Sabertooth, her voice barely above a whisper."What did I say?" Sabertooth looked puzzled for a moment."You said... You said next time, we'd go back home together to get married..." Blood Rakshasa's cheeks turned a soft pink."Hehe, absolutely," Sabertooth chuckled, his smile warm and genuine. "The boss gave me the order, and I've given my word."Blood Rakshasa's smile was shy but filled with joy.Soon after, Qemal strode in."Sabertooth, I've tracked down the hideout of the Slaying Heaven Palace," Qemal announced upon arrival."Is that so?" Sabertooth's eyes sparkled with anticipation. "Tell the crew to take a two-hour breather, then we move out!"The Slaying Heaven Palace's goons had nearly wiped out them today. Payback was due.With the Palace's top fighters gone, the rest were hardly a threat. It was time to cross the Slay

    "Shadow Demon Shrine?" The woman's brow creased for a moment, but she quickly dropped the subject.She then turned to Sabertooth and observed, "You and your group have the vibe of soldiers. You're not originally from The Dark World, are you?""Speaking to our savior," Sabertooth gave a respectful nod, "we were part of the Rackaham Western Region's military before we came here."He was open with the woman who had saved over a hundred of his comrades."The Western Region's military?" The woman paused, a hint of recognition in her voice, "You're with the Blood Shadow Force?""That's us," Sabertooth confirmed with another bow."Is your leader the King of the West, Master Howard?" she inquired further."You know my boss?" Sabertooth looked surprised."Not personally, but I've heard the name," the woman replied with a shake of her head. "What's he got you doing in The Dark World?""Over the past couple of years, the world's heavy hitters have been funneling their muscle and resource

    "You'll live to regret this, Dark Demon Lord!" Blood Rakshasa declared, locking eyes with her adversary. "Kill us, and Master Howard will avenge us by wiping out every last one of you in your cursed palace...""Ha! That Master Howard of yours better think twice before stepping into The Dark World again, or it'll be his grave!" The Dark Demon Lord mocked with an icy laugh."You're the fool!" Sabertooth growled. "No one in The Dark World has been born who can take down our boss. Your time's coming!""Is that so?" The Dark Demon Lord sneered with disdain. "You're clueless, all of you. You have no idea how powerful the Shadow Demon Shrine truly is!""Enough babbling. Time to end this. I'll send you both to join your boss," he declared, his presence intensifying as he prepared to strike them down."I love you," Blood Rakshasa whispered, her eyes closing."No, don't!" Qemal and others shouted in despair.Then there was a thunderous boom.However, the expected tragedy did not unfold.

    Sabertooth sneered, watching the man's futile efforts. "You're such a fool!"He then declared solemnly, "Blood Shadow Technique, second form, Sky Slash!"With those words, he summoned all his strength, his saber carving a fierce arc of light through the air, striking like thunder at his foe.The Blood Shadow Technique was known for turning the tides against stronger adversaries.The white-haired elder's eyes narrowed in alarm. Caught mid-leap, he desperately wanted to dodge but could not. The saber's light bore down on him, a chilling aura of death shrouding him completely.In that instant, a wave of energy crashed through the air like a tidal wave, bringing a howling gale with it.Crash!Suddenly, Sabertooth was hurled away like a shell fired from a gun, blood spraying from his mouth as he flew, before he slammed into the earth, leaving a huge crater and falling silent."Sabertooth!" Blood Rakshasa's shout pierced the chaos as she spun and dashed to his side.She barely made

    The man in black was sent hurtling through the air, slamming into the ground with such force that he lay there motionlessly, struggling to rise. A gaping wound, carved by the relentless sword, oozed blood profusely from his abdomen."What in the world is that sword technique?" he gasped after a torturous effort to stand, his face ashen.He had underestimated Blood Rakshasa's swordplay. Since her breakthrough to a higher echelon of mastery, her blade's might had surged, utterly dominating her seasoned adversary."The Sword Without a Name," Blood Rakshasa declared icily.Without wasting another second, she launched another assault. Sabertooth was in dire straits, and she was determined to aid him.Her blade danced again, weaving a web of sword energy that shot toward the white-haired elder, ensnaring him in an instant.The old man's eyes narrowed in a flash of panic, realizing he was trapped with no way out."This is it!" he snarled, brandishing his blade and lunging forward.How

    With a thunderous explosion of energy, Blood Rakshasa's power surged, forcing the old man before her to stagger back in disbelief."Impossible! Have you broken through?" he gasped, steadying himself, his face a mask of astonishment."You bet I have!" Blood Rakshasa's face lit up with triumph.She had done it, just as the old man had surmised. Amid her swordplay, she felt a dormant core energy within her erupt, catapulting her to the zenith of martial knight at peak mastery stage.Master Howard's words rang in her head. The core energy left in her by a once-mighty warrior was too much to absorb at once. Back in that cave, she only managed a minor mastery in martial knight. However, Howard had predicted further advancements, and he was right."Let's see if you can handle a few more of my strikes!" Blood Rakshasa challenged, her spirit soaring not just from her newfound strength but also from a deeper connection to her swordsmanship."Bring it on!" the old man bellowed, his blade re
