"Riley, what's the matter?" The trio sprinted over, and Howard scooped Riley into a comforting hug."Dad, there's a girl lying over there!" Riley's voice trembled, her finger quivering as she pointed to a spot near a large rock.Howard and his companions turned their gaze and spotted a teenage girl, about fifteen or sixteen, sprawled on the ground, utterly still.Her complexion was ghostly pale, lips tinged with blue. She looked as if she were nothing more than skin stretched over bones, barely tipping the scales at 40 pounds."She's still breathing," Mystical Chubby announced, striding forward to examine her. He produced several silver needles and expertly inserted them into some places on the girl's body."Honey, stay here with Riley. I'll handle this," Howard instructed, gently setting Riley down beside Talia."Okay," Talia acknowledged with a subtle nod."What's the verdict?" Howard approached Mystical Chubby, concern etched on his face."Her heartbeat's faint, barely cling

"Get her settled somewhere safe, but not here at the base. Find a hotel close by," Howard instructed, nodding toward the girl.They were playing the waiting game, baiting the other side to make a move. It was clear that the Shadow Sect's stronghold was off-limits, few were bold enough to storm their fortress for a kidnapping."Sir, who is this kid?" the Judge asked, his brow knitting in confusion."We don't have the full picture yet," Howard replied, shaking his head before giving the Judge a rundown of what they knew.The Judge's frown deepened as he processed the information. "Someone's dabbling in dark magic? They're asking for trouble!"With that, he signaled for a couple of Shadow Sect's own to take the girl off their hands.Howard's hunch was spot on. Before the clock could strike twelve, their visitors arrived.The hotel, a mere five kilometers from the Shadow Sect's lair, had been chosen by the Judge for its isolation. He had made sure it was emptied of other guests, lea

One replied, "Instructor Leon Chapman has tracked her to Mendorra using the Shadow Curse mark she bears. He's already there with a team, but we've yet to hear back.""How long has he been gone?" Davis said icily."Just over four hours," the man replied, bowing."Four hours and no word? Useless, all of them!" Davis's gaze turned steely."Get Leon on the phone. I want to know what's happening!""Right away!" The man nodded and pulled out his cell phone.Thud! Thud! Thud!Footsteps echoed in the silence, and a man clad in black hastened to the mouth of the cavern."Boss, we've got trouble!" he announced upon arrival."What's got you so rattled?" Davis demanded, his voice a low rumble."We can't reach any of Mr. Leon Chapman's crew on their phones!" the man reported."What!?" A chill seemed to spread from Davis as he roared, "Get someone over to Mendorra now to check out what's going down!""Right away!" The man shuddered and beat a hasty retreat.No sooner had he left than a

"You're such a fool, and you don't even know it! Your little parlor tricks are nothing but a joke to my boss!" Mystical Chubby said calmly.He was not just sucking up. Two years back, he had seen Howard take on the ten demons of Dark Mountain all by himself with his own eyes, and it still gave him the chills. That day, the whole mountain was cloaked in evil energy, with a bone-chilling wind cutting through the air. The ten demons of Dark Mountain summoned thousands of vengeful spirits to swarm Howard. It was a sight to behold, like a scene straight out of hell itself. Every creature on Dark Mountain dropped dead from sheer terror as if the end of the world had come. However, as the old saying goes, good always triumphs over evil, and light outshone the dark! The demons had been in for a rude awakening when they found that Howard's sheer force of good would not let those spirits anywhere near him. Any that got within ten meters just vanished into thin air. In the end, Howard's Bloo

Howard had waited until then to bring in the Shadow Sect's Elegant Uniformed Troops for a reason. He wanted the Yaron family to come clean about certain matters.Otherwise, they could easily dismiss that as Davis's lone wolf act, unrelated to the family.That was not the result Howard was after!Wyatt let out a heavy sigh, his breath fogging in the chill air as he faced Howard's respectful bow."My deepest apologies. I had no idea we were dealing with the Shadow Sect. Any offense was unintended, and I beg your forgiveness.""The arts of Light and Dark was Davis's find, not ours. The Yaron family was in the dark about it. Please, have mercy on us.""You sure switched gears fast, old timer! You weren't singing this tune a minute ago. I've got the recording. Want to hear it?" the Judge mocked with a disdainful laugh. "I..." Wyatt's face twisted in anguish as if he had lost everything dear to him."Ryker, take your orders!" Howard commanded with authority."Detain everyone, leave
