In an instant, Howard's wrist twisted, unleashing the Blood Shadow Saber in a fierce arc that cut through the air with a screech.As Howard struck, a chilling sense of doom flooded the Ghost Blood Demon King, tingling through his every pore.Only then did he grasp the grave mistake he had made in underestimating Howard's might.That guy was no mere martial god. He was a colossus of the martial knight, his prowess towering over his own.A tidal wave of shock crashed within him. Could Rackaham really be that formidable, where even the most random stranger was a top-tier titan?No time to ponder—he snapped into defense mode, crossing his arms and lining up his Iron Wolf Bar like a shield, hoping to fend off Howard's deadly blow.However, once again, he had misjudged the force behind Howard. His Iron Wolf Bar, supposedly indestructible, crumbled like brittle chalk. The saber's glow did not falter, slicing past his arm in a swift, brutal streak.His arm hit the ground, a fountain of

"You think you can just forget about what you did in The Dark World a year ago? We haven't settled the score, and if you insist on going down this path, you might not make it back this time!""Really? You're oozing confidence," Howard retorted. "It doesn't matter who you are. If you try to stop me from taking down the Ghost Blood Demon King, then I'm sorry, but you're going down with him."With those words, Howard's presence intensified, and he darted toward the two men like a ghostly apparition.His wrist flicked with lightning speed, and the Blood Shadow Saber carved arcs of chilling light through the air, striking with lethal intent."Your arrogance knows no bounds!" the man bellowed, unleashing his power in a furious burst.He threw his hands forward, unleashing a barrage of wild, forceful winds that clashed with Howard's blade, a spectacle as impressive as a rainbow.However, he sorely miscalculated his own strength.The barrage of saber light tore through his assault, cutt

"I can't say I know the whole story," Blood Rakshasa replied with another shake of her head."It was only later that I pieced together that he'd been roughed up over the map. By then, it seemed like a bunch of folks already knew he had it on him."So, my guess is the Dark Ebon Corp crowd that was after me figured I'd crossed paths with him and thought maybe I had the map."Blood Rakshasa looked over at Howard with a twinge of guilt. "I apologize, Young Master Howard. I didn't mean to keep secrets from you, and I never imagined that the Dark Ebon Corp would...""Stop," Howard cut her off sharply.For him, it did not matter whether Blood Rakshasa had shared the information or not. He knew all too well that ever since he had taken down two martial generals from the Dark Ebon Corp, a showdown with them was unavoidable.Moreover, the intel he gathered revealed that over the previous year, several nations with hidden agendas had utilized the forces of The Dark World to infiltrate Racka

"Blood Rakshasa, what's holding you back? Thank the boss! With his backing, not only the top three but even the top spot could be within reach!""Blood Rakshasa, the Judge isn't wrong. This could be the chance of a lifetime!" Yoel chimed in.Both of them finally understood Howard's grand plan. He was looking to create an overseas contingent—a compact version of the Blood Shadow Force."Thank you for putting your faith in me, Howard!" Blood Rakshasa could hardly contain her excitement as she realized what Howard was proposing.Yoel was right—this was the chance of a lifetime."If you're in, you've got to be all in. I don't want you quitting halfway," Howard said firmly."Count on me, Howard. I'll pour my heart and soul into this. I won't let you down," Blood Rakshasa replied, her voice steady and full of determination."Great!" Howard nodded in approval. "Let's get your account details. I'll send over some funds to get you started.""Howard, I've got some cash to tide me over. M

"Hold on, honey, there's something serious I forgot to mention..." Talia began, her cheeks glowing like ripe apples.However, before she could get the words out, Howard's kiss cut her off.Talia blushed even deeper."Babe, you were about to tell me something important. What's up?" Howard inquired."Oh, that's right, I almost forgot with all the distraction." Talia smacked her forehead and rolled her eyes at him. "You're such a troublemaker.""You still haven't answered," Howard teased, twirling a strand of Talia's hair."I landed a job!" Talia burst out, her excitement barely contained."Really? That was quick," Howard said, a hint of surprise in his voice. "What's the company? And what's your role going to be?""It's called Swanson Group, a big-time conglomerate," Talia replied, her face beaming. "They're all about luxury fashion and beauty products. It's a pretty big deal. I'm going for their marketing department manager spot."I've been at Nimbulus for a few years—you know,
