Semua Bab Last Man Standing: Bab 161 - Bab 170

The Judge had not even finished his sentence when he launched another palm strike, sending two men flying like rag dolls to slam against the wall. They crumpled to the floor, unconscious, their heads askew.A member of the Elegant Uniformed Troops burst through the door with a swift kick, and four people strode in.Howard scanned the room and spotted Talia and her friends pressed together on the couch.The ladies looked horrid, trembling. Their hair looked tousled, and each bore the angry red imprint of a slap.A stocky man with a crew cut sat beside them, lifting a glass of wine to Talia's lips. Across from them lounged a man built like a tank with a scarred face and a fierce look, not yet fifty but radiating a menacing, bloodthirsty vibe.The bald man Yafe and his cronies stood off to the side, eyes alight with a predatory stare fixed on Talia and her group.A wave of icy fury washed over Howard at the sight."Hm!?" Atwood, the scar-faced man, set down his glass and turned wit

"Right away!" The Judge complied with a nod.All of the Five Blades in the Shadow Sect had Howard's login credentials—a sign of the trust he placed in his top brass, much like Yoel and the Dragon quintet knew of his military system access.In that instant, Atwood crumpled to the ground, his face a mask of horror, sweat chilling his skin.That was when it hit him—the gravity of the person he had crossed. "You... You're with the Shadow Sect?""Well, look at you. You even know who we are." The Judge's voice was icy as he taunted Atwood.Howard turned his gaze to the man before him. "We've uncovered the truth. His crimes are countless. Ten executions wouldn't be too many.""Then let's proceed," Howard said calmly."Understood," the Judge replied with gravity."No, please, you can't kill me! I'm with Mr. Wagar! If you kill me, you'll be in deep trouble yourselves!" Atwood's voice was laced with terror."Oh?" Howard's eyebrow quirked. "Are you suggesting that your Mr. Wagar has sway

Odin was no fool. He knew that anyone for whom the Shadow Sect Five Blades would play second fiddle had to be a major player. He had pieced together Howard's identity."Do you need to drag my superior into this conversation?" Howard's gaze was piercing.With Howard's silent confirmation, Odin's breath caught in a chill gasp, terror etched across his face, his trembling growing more intense.He quickly bowed deeply. "My apologies, Young Master Howard. I had no idea we were in the presence of someone of your stature."Beside him, Karson's eyes betrayed a deep shock. He, too, had not anticipated crossing paths with a VIP like this."Judge, pull up Atwood's file and show him. Let's see if the Shadow Sect is really as ruthless as they say," Howard said, ignoring the man's reaction."Sure thing," the Judge replied, fishing out his smartphone and offering it."I couldn't possibly!" Odin bowed deeply. "With Master Howard on the case, I'm sure there's a good reason Atwood met his end!"

"No!" the messenger replied, his head still lowered."They failed to capture Blood Rakshasa. Worse, they won't be coming back. Everyone who ventured to Rackaham Mendorra has been slain.""What!?" The man on the throne was the infamous Ghost Blood Demon King, and his fury was palpable.With a thunderous crash, the chair beneath him shattered like glass, wooden shards dancing in the air."How is this possible? The martial god warriors of Rackaham's East District guard the borders. There shouldn't be anyone of that caliber in the entire district. Who could've bested them!?" The Ghost Blood Demon King's roar echoed through the hall, a storm of rage waiting to be unleashed."Speak! What's the word from Rackaham?" "Word on the street is Mendorra's got at least three martial god level warriors!""Impossible!" The Ghost Blood Demon King could not hide his shock, his brow furrowing in an instant. "Are you sure about this?""Solid," the man assured, nodding with conviction. "Straight fr

It was just after one in the afternoon when they pulled up to a towering skyscraper in downtown Mareno City, home to the Oceania Group's headquarters."Welcome, Master Howard!"Stepping out of the car, they were greeted by a sea of Oceania Group employees, all dressed to the nines and bowing in unison. Their greeting was like a wave of sound, almost knocking someone over.Yoel rolled his eyes. "This guy and his theatrics," he grumbled under his breath.Kenny dashed over, a trail of high-powered execs in his wake."Master Howard, welcome to Oceania Group!" he exclaimed, bowing deeply with utmost reverence.The staff of Oceania Group watched, mouths agape in astonishment.They were well aware of Kenny's clout in Mareno City, on par with the patriarchs of the top families. Even the big shots from the company never received such a deferential welcome from Kenny!Who was this young man that commanded such respect?"If you try to pull off another stunt like this, I'll have you whitt
