With her sharp intellect, Reign sensed their unspoken thoughts Lawrence might haveâ¦.
âCould it be that Lawrence is dead? Reignâs voice trembled as her eyes went blank, and she collapsed.
Haylan swiftly caught her, and he asked with concern, âMr. Katz, whatâs going on? Is Lawrence still alive?â
âLawrence is alive, but heâs been captured by the redârobed messenger, Landon revealed, recounting the recent events. Haylanâs gaze turned frigid and he asked, âSo, we have two forces targeting us Ter Landon confirmed Mr Baxter explained, âThe Dark Slaves that appeared carlier are connected to the Bernard family, a powerful entity in the Whileal Kingdomâ
Haylanâs eyes flashed with cold determination Bernard again he questioned Just a while back, the Bernard family had orchestrated the death of Bernardâs younger brother, nearly trapping them in ı hotel Nowe, back at their base, the family was still making moves against Lawrence and them.
It was a brazen act of provocation!
If Lawrence is only captured, it means he holds value to the redârobed messenger. They wonât dispose of him easily Haydan reasoned He gently placed Reign on the ground and spoke in a low voice. I finally understand the true meaning behind his cryptic words. Mr. Katz, Yvie, take care of Rei. Iâll be back soon With those words, he vanished instantly, disappearing before their eyes as if he had never been there, leaving only a fing breeze in lus wakr Tiana and Mr. Baxter were awed, witnessing Haylanâs inexplicable disappearance Thoughts raced through their minds. âVanishing into thin air?

But his assessment quickly crumbled as another shocking realization dawned on him âTo achieve such speed, where does his cultivation level reach Godâclass? No, even the most formidable godâclass expert couldnât possess such swiftness. Could it be the God Real? Mr.
Baxterâs horrorâstricken expression intensited The God Realm! The fabled God Realm cultivator actually existed in their world, and today. Mr.
Baxter had witnessed # firsthand Unbelievable truly unbelievable. Mr. Baxter whispered to himself, caught in a spellbusting enchantment. Regardless of others opinions, he continued to repeat this phrase The thunderom roar of an airplane pierced the air, capturing ret yoneâs attention Josef accompanied by his loyal bodyguard, descended from the sky, skillfully landing the plane right before Landon and The others Thury, board the plane. We need to escape this place he urgently called out Lavalon cradled Reign in his arms and gestured for Yvonne to step onto the plane first Then using to My Baxter and Tiana be extended an invitation. âWould you both jom us on this journey Tians des lined gracefully expressing her gratitude Noâneed. Thanks for your invitation, but we have somewhere in go Thank you for your kindness and assistance. We owe you a favor, and should you ever need our help in the future, we will be there without hesitation. Farewell, she said.
After bidding his respectful farewell to Tiana and Mr. Baxter, Landon finally stepped onto the waiting plane.
The aircraft swiftly ascended, disappearing into the vast expanse of the sky.
Tiana broke the silence, turning to Mr. Baxter with a curious expression. âMr. Baxter, have you ever heard of a man named Haylan Jaber?
Mr. Baxter shook his head and replied, âIâm not acquainted with him.â
Tiana leaned in, her voice filled with anticipation. âIn your opinion, who is stronger between Haylan Jaber and our boss?â
Mr. Baxter did not hesitate, his voice carrying a hint of awe. Haylan Jaber, without a doubt.â
Tianaâs eyes widened at his confident response, leaving her momentarily speechless as she watched the departing plane. Amidst the snowy mountain range on the outskirts of Blutbridge City, the redârobed messenger swiftly carried Lawrence, traversing the pristine snow with astonishing agility. Finally, they arrived at a hidden cave, where the redârobed messenger callously threw Lawrence to the ground.
The force sent Lawrence tumbling, his body rolling through the snow, the icy flakes clinging to his disheveled form. He fought to regain his bearings, his movetnents labored.
With a resounding thud, the redârobed messenger appeared like a ghost, seizing Lawrence by the neck and slamming him against the cold stone wall.
The intense pressure caused Lawrence to gasp, blood spilling from his lips, and pain surging through his throat, chest, and back.
The redârobed messengerâs face contorted into a fierce scowl as he coldly locked eyes with Lawrence, his voice dripping with gruelty. âBoy, this snowy mountain is uninhabited. Even if you scream until your voice gives out, no one will come to save you.
âCooperate, and tell me how to extract the divine secrets from your mind, or I will dismantle you piece by agonizing piece Fear welled up within Lawrence, his voice trembling as he hastened to comply. âAlright, Iâll tell you everything.â
The redârobed messengerâs voice thundered, demanding an immediate response. âSpeak!â
Struggling to breathe, Lawrenceâs face flushed red as he managed to utter. âYouâre⦠choking me.
How can I speak?â
Easing his grip slightly, the redârobed messenger allowed Lawrence to catch his breath, his icy gaze never wavering. Taking in deep, ragged breaths, Lawrence steadied himself and continued, âHave you ever heard of the spirit gathering array?â
The redârobed messenger leaned in, his curiosity piqued. âWhat?â
âSpirit gathering array!â Lawrence repeated.
âNever heard of it. Whatâs this?â the redârobed messenger asked.
Lawrence seized the opportunity to explain. âThe spirit gathering array is a powerful array that harnesses the spiritual energy of the universe. By modifying the formation and placing me in a specific position, the powers of the spiritual beetles within my mind can be extracted.â
The redârobed messenger shook his head; his skepticism was evident. âI have never encountered such an array. Are you absolutely certain?â he asked.
Doubt crept into the messengerâs eyes.
This extraordinary array seemed foreign even within his vast knowledge.
Even at that place, there was no such array.
Determined to prove his point, Lawrence proposed a test. âIf you doubt me, release me brietly, and I will set up a small array for you to witness.â
The redârobed messenger agreed, casting Lawrence to the ground with a cold, dismissive tone.
âSure. Remember, any deception will be met with excruciating consequences. I will slice your flesh apart, piece by piece!â
With the threat hanging in the air, a wave of sword beam escaped the messengerâs fingertips, ruthlesslyâsevering a chunk of muscle from Lawrenceâs arm.
Blood spurted forth, and Lawrence cried out in agonizing pain, his teeth gritted. Lawrenceâs eyes narrowed, his voice laced with defiance despite the torment. âIf you kill me, you will never uncover the truth!â
The redârobed messengerâs gaze turned icy, his impatience palpable as he barked. âEnough talk.
Set it up quickly!â
Locking eyes with the redârobed messenger, Lawrenceâs determination hardened. Rather than wasting words, he stoically
