"Am I losing it, or did I just hear that right?" Nance blurted out."Easy there, Nance, you're giving me a heart attack!" Yancy chided, pressing a hand to her heart."This is huge, right? How much is our company going to balloon after this?" Nance pressed on."We're even taking over the Mendorra Building. That has to shoot us up to the top five in Mendorra, doesn't it?""Let's not jump the gun, Nance. It's still up in the air if this is a win or a flop," Yancy said, cracking a smile before turning to Talia. "Ms. Jenkins, what's your take?""I'm just as surprised. Who knew Swanson Group was actually part of Oceania Group, and now this whirlwind of change?" Talia mused."This means a major shake-up for the company—mergers, layoffs. Whether it's a blessing or a curse for us, only time will tell.""Ms. Jenkins, do you think you'll be shuffled around too?" Nance asked, her voice tinged with concern."Doesn't matter to me. I'm sticking with you, come what may. That is, unless I get t

Talia was hitting her stride, her words flowing smoothly, her thoughts organized. She was the epitome of a powerhouse career woman."Doesn't she look familiar to you?" a woman's voice suddenly cut through the murmur of the crowd."What do you mean? You know her?" another woman inquired."You know, now that you say that, she does look kind of familiar," a man added."I'm trying to place her—I know I've seen her somewhere!" the first woman insisted.Then, with a brief pause, she gasped. "I got it! Isn't she the woman from that epic marriage proposal that had the whole town talking?""Ah! Now I remember, it is her!" the man exclaimed, equally astonished."No way! Are you sure? She's the one all the ladies were envious of?" another woman asked, her voice rising with excitement."I couldn't be more sure—it's her!" the first woman confirmed with a vigorous nod. "There's no one else in Mendorra as stunning as she is!""Wow, she's really living the dream, isn't she?" the other woman s

A surge of formidable energy erupted from Howard, instantly wrapping him and Talia in a powerful protective aura.The sniper's bullet pinged off the powerful protective aura and clattered to the ground."Damn!" Two snipers muttered under their breath as they watched through their scopes, then quickly ditched their rifles and bolted.They knew all too well that against someone of Howard's caliber, they would get only one shot. Miss it, and they were as good as dead."Sir, are you alright?" Mystical Chubby called out from the hotel lobby entrance, fury rising within him. The audacity to attempt an assassination on my boss was unthinkable!"I'm fine." Howard's gaze turned piercing. "One sniper at one o'clock, another at three. Don't let them get away!""Got it!" Mystical Chubby's voice was a low rumble. "Sir, you and your lady hop in the car!"He was off like a shot, his figure a blur. As a martial knight, his speed outmatched even that of a martial god, disappearing into the shado

The woman, sensing the impending danger as Howard's power surged, narrowly escaped death.Nonetheless, she was still hurled through the air by the wave of energy, crashing down hard and coughing up blood."How... How can this be!?" Lying there in shock, she stared at Howard. "How can you still wield such incredible strength!?""You've seriously overestimated the poison of the Eroding Ghost Flower." Howard inhaled deeply, his body trembling as a flurry of silver needles shot out from him."There's no denying it, the Eroding Ghost Flower's poison hit me hard at first, but you just love the sound of your own voice, don't you? That gave me the break I needed. If you'd come at me full force from the get-go, maybe you'd have a shot today."The keyword here is 'maybe'!""Impossible! You can't force out the toxicity of the Eroding Ghost Flower, even if your cultivation base has reached the later stages of the martial ancestor..." At that point, it seemed as if there was a sudden realizat

"Sir, the Eroding Ghost Flower is exclusive to Abatemarco and Abbercrombie. These thugs must be from Abbercrombie; they've got no ties to Abatemarco," Mystical Chubby said, his voice heavy with concern as he stepped closer."Indeed," Howard acknowledged with a subtle nod."Abbercrombie is sending assassins to Mendorra to take you out, Sir. Are they itching for their downfall?" Mystical Chubby's face twisted with rage."I'll get on the phone with Carbonemys right now. He'll lead the Blood Shadow Force, all hundred thousand of them, and we'll crush Abbercrombie once and for all!""Hold on a second." Howard's gaze was locked on the horizon, his voice laced with thoughtfulness."Remember last year? The Blood Shadow Force nearly halved Abbercrombie's strength. They know full well the price of their actions."If they succeed in killing me, Abbercrombie will vanish from the map. Trading a whole nation for one life is a losing deal."And yet, they've gone ahead with it."Don't you thin
