Last Man Standing의 모든 챕터: 챕터 471 - 챕터 480

"Hmm. Something's definitely off," Howard mused with a nod.He knew the Sabine family well enough to expect some kind of reaction. Yet, days had gone by with not even a whisper of trouble, and that spelled trouble in itself."Sir, if the Sabines keep playing dead, should we leak the dirt Harper gave us? Let the Shadow Sect handle the arrests and see how they squirm?" the Judge proposed."It's a waste of time," Howard replied with a dismissive shake of his head."What's that supposed to mean?" the Judge asked, his brow furrowing."Judge, it's pointless. The Sabines aren't like the big three families. Even with dirt, you can't touch their roots," Kenny chimed in."They've got people to spare. They'd throw a few under the bus, take the fall, and walk away clean."Their ties run deep and wide, not just in Mareno City but all the way to Ciolara. Without a knockout punch of evidence, we're just scratching the surface.""So what's the play? We've spread our net wide, hoping to catch t

"Edwin, perfect timing! That jerk hit me. You've got to deal with him!" Griffin called out.The newcomer, Edwin Gibson, assessed Griffin's sorry state, then addressed Mystical Chubby with a stern voice, "Don't you think you went a bit too far?""Got a problem with that?" Mystical Chubby replied calmly."Seeing as you're part of the martial arts world too, how about we find a spot to spar a bit?" The man's eyes flickered with a hint of ice."No can do!" Mystical Chubby dismissed with a wave of his hand. "If you're itching for a fight, make it quick. We've got a birthday party to attend!""You..." The man scowled deeply."Mr. Edwin, the fault did start with Mr. Griffin, I admit. Could you do me the honor of dropping this issue?" Hoyt cut in."Mr. Carter and his friends are here, especially for my uncle's birthday. If you really want to spar with this gentleman, Mr. Edwin, could we perhaps delay it?""Out of respect for Mr. Hoyt, I'll agree. I'll be waiting. Show me you're not one

"What a moron!" Mystical Chubby could not help but retort, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "I'd love to see you try to stop us.""Listen, it's Mr. Ashwin's birthday today, and I'd rather not spoil the celebration. How about we all take a seat and talk this through calmly?" suggested the white-haired elder, his tone even and detached.Mystical Chubby shot him a brief, uninterested look and turned to Kenny. "Mr. Carter, we're leaving."With that, he strode confidently toward the exit."You refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a penalty!" In a blur of motion, the young man leaped from the couch and swung a punch at Mystical Chubby."You're the real idiot here!" Mystical Chubby stood his ground, an invisible force radiating from him.There was a sickening crack as the young man's fist smashed against Mystical Chubby's unseen protection aura. Not a scratch on Mystical Chubby, but the young man's arm snapped with the sound of breaking bone.He let out a howl of agony and doubled

Suddenly, a melodious voice floated from within. "Tyler, we should welcome all visitors. Please, let him in."With a nod, Tyler bowed slightly to Howard. "My apologies, sir. Do come in."With a small smile, Howard entered the garden. A pavilion stood at its heart, where two youths sparred with swords, their movements a dance of steel and shadow. Around a long table, a group of onlookers savored fine food and the spectacle before them. On the opposite side, two venerable figures were locked in a silent chess battle, their presence commanding."Sir, forgive the earlier discourtesy," said a woman rising from the head of the table, her approach marked by an effortless elegance. She was in her prime, her beauty and poise outshining even the renowned Yaretzi of the Cole family.Howard glanced over the woman, squinting slightly as he did. It was evident that the woman possessed a formidable level of cultivation. She had already reached the strength of a martial god at the initial stage.

Ding! Ding! Ding!The Judge's brow creased as he weaved through the onslaught, his curved saber deflecting the chess pieces, causing them to scatter across the floor.The elder he faced was a martial knight, a notch above him in the cultivation base, and it showed in the strain of their clash.He had barely regained his footing when the elder zipped from the stone table's side, fists barreling through the air with a force that screamed trouble."Sixth Elder, what's the big idea? Knock it off!" Macie's voice cut through the tension.She could feel the deadly vibe rolling off their opponents.However, for the life of her, she could not fathom why the Sixth Elder and his crew were out for blood against Howard and his friend.Whoosh!Her plea hung unfinished as another elder joined the fray, swooping in ghost-like, his hands whipping up a storm that sent their fighting spirit soaring, the raw power of a martial knight on full display.Their onslaught came in waves, fierce and unre
