The villa’s courtyard had transformed into a nightmarish battlefield! It was a purgatory, engulfed in chaos and
terror.
Gideon tightly gripped a seemingly ordinary wooden sword, barely thirty centimeters in length. However, its
invisible blade extended to an impressive two meters! This mystical weapon had been temporarily bestowed upon
him by The British Lord.
Though the wooden sword appeared small and unassuming, it possessed a power reminiscent of the lightsabers
from Star Wars. Its killing range was extraordinary, surpassing the logical setup of the cinematic lightsaber.
Gideon’s wooden sword, infused with an ethereal aura, could manifest its deadly blade, under his precise control.
Several bodyguards attempted to confront Gideon, but his swift motion of shaking the sword in the air unleashed an
invisible force, a sword chi that pierced through the atmosphere, striking its target with deadly precision. A mere
flick of his wrist caused blood and innards to erupt uncontrollably, instantly claiming the life of the unfortunate
bodyguard.
The remaining bodyguards were utterly petrified. They had never witnessed such an inexplicable attack before.
Gideon’s diminutive wooden sword stood at a considerable distance from their comrade, yet it effortlessly pierced
his chest and tore open an invisible wound.
This gruesome spectacle sent shivers down their spines, overwhelming them with terror. Though their instinct to
survive urged them to retreat, Gideon’s presence made escaping an impossible feat.
Despite Gideon’s speed being slower than the radar-locked close defense guns and the shells they fired, these
ordinary martial artists had no hope of beating him. If the gun symbolized a hunting rifle, then Gideon was akin to a
cheetah and these hapless Martial Artists were nothing more than rabbits incapable of even piercing a leopard’s
skin.
As the bodyguards halted and prepared to flee, Gideon took a step forward, his right foot propelling him like an
arrow unleashed from a taut bowstring.
Moments later, a mournful scream resonated through the air.
The slowest bodyguard observed the bleeding wound on his chest and let out an anguished cry. Curiously, despite
his severe injury, he sprinted even faster than before. In a bizarre turn of events, he lost control of his movement,
hurtling uncontrollably towards another comrade. All the while, his chest continued to gush blood.
Fear consumed the man as he cried out, “What the… hell is this?”
The two men lost their momentum and the room filled with the cacophony of chaotic sounds. Gideon swiftly
advanced, methodically beheading the terrified Evans family bodyguards one by one.
Though some of the bodyguards brandished their pistols and fired upon him, Gideon’s movements were too swift
for their aim and reaction speed. Their bullets failed to inflict the slightest harm.
Unlike the Evans family’s bodyguards, Gideon’s lightning-fast agility rendered their attempts at escape futile. These

Not far away, halfway up the mountain, Zeba observed Gideon’s killing spree at Willow Estates, a frown etching
itself onto her face. She had always believed that the old man was solely dedicated to his cultivation. Yet, today she
realized the extent of his bloodlust.
Just as she contemplated Gideon’s ruthlessness, a low-flying helicopter appeared in the sky, heading towards Willow
Estates.
The Evans family’s hearts trembled as they listened to the screams outside.
Unbeknownst to them, their family had barely survived a crisis that nearly wiped them out in New York. Now, their
pursuers had tracked them down in China with astonishing speed.
Morine’s third uncle, Martel, nervously suggested, “Father, mother, this time it might be fatal. You two should
escape through the back door.”
Desmond reacted swiftly, echoing his brother’s sentiment. “Yes, Dad, you and Mom go first. We’ll remain here and
keep watch.”
The old man, Samuel, snorted coldly. “Go? Where do you think you can go? Whoever is coming, their target is our
family. None of us can escape.”
Samuel then turned to Jack and spoke with conviction, “Jack, this is the Evans Family’s affair. We already dragged
you into it once before. This time, we cannot let you become entangled again. You should go first. The adversary is
after us, not you.”
Jack helplessly smiled, his tone serious as he replied, “Uncle Evans, last time I followed your advice and left first. As
a result, I was riddled with bullets like a hornet’s nest. In contrast, you and the others in the box were safe. Today,
you want me to leave again? It doesn’t seem appropriate, does it?”
Samuel exclaimed, “Jack! I’m not joking! The circumstances are different this time. Get out of here before they kill
you! Leaving Willow Estates is your safest option.”
Jack shook his head, his smile unyielding. “Uncle Evans, you are the fortunate one. It’s safest for me to remain by
your side.”
Growing anxious, Samuel scolded, “Why are you so stubborn? If anything happens to you because of my Evans
Family, how can I face your family?”
Suddenly, the room’s door was kicked open and a cold voice pierced the air. “Leave? Hmph, none of you will leave
here today!”
The occupants turned their gaze towards the intruder, an old man in a flowing robe, exuding an air of slim
elegance. They were momentarily taken aback by his presence.
Samuel confronted Gideon, his voice firm with a tinge of suspicion. “Who are you?”
Gideon’s lips curled into a cold smile as he surveyed the room arrogantly. “My name is Gideon Alastair, you can
address me as Master Alastair or just Gideon.”
Samuel furrowed his brow, questioning Gideon’s motives. “If you claim to be a true man and do practice in a Taoist
temple, why have you resorted to indiscriminate killing?”
Gideon’s laughter echoed, filled with a sinister edge. “Who says a true man cannot kill? Today, I, Marshal Gideon
Alastair, shall unleash a massacre upon this place. None of you shall escape!”
His eyes widened suddenly, as if struck by an electric shock. He exclaimed, “How can there be a faint presence of
reiki here…?”
Unbeknownst to the Evans Family and Jack, Morine’s Rejuvenation Pill had quietly set up a hidden formation within
the villa. It remained active, infusing the air with a subtle reiki and the medicinal effects of the pill.
Gideon’s sudden interest in the aura left the Evans Family members puzzled. They were oblivious to the hidden
enchantment. Gideon had unwittingly stumbled upon a new realm, his excitement reaching unprecedented heights.
Previously clueless about formations, he now realized the presence of faint reiki within this reinforced concrete
structure. In an era where finding natural reiki was rare, he never expected such a subtle
energy within this villa! If the reiki remained constant, cultivating here would yield incredible results with minimal
effort.
Overwhelmed by his discovery, Gideon pointed his wooden sword at the crowd, his voice cold and commanding.
“No one dares to answer? Since silence is your response, I shall select a victim and behead them before your very
eyes, to serve as an example!”
His gaze fixed upon Tece Evans, dressed in provocative attire. Gideon mockingly inquired, “Is this the Evans Family’s
second daughter, Tece Evans?”
Tece warily questioned, “What do you want?”
Gideon sneered, “I want to teach your parents and siblings a lesson called ‘The Consequences of Refusing to
Cooperate’.'”
With a swift wave of his wooden sword, the invisible blade slashed towards Tece Evans. Tece felt a gust of wind on
her face, becoming frozen in place, unable to move a muscle.
Just in the nick of time, Jack abruptly slammed a delicate teacup onto the floor, shattering it into countless shards.
His voice reverberated through the room, laced with fury and desperation, “You damned mutt! If you have even the
slightest inkling of curiosity about Maria’s whereabouts and her precious ring, you better put an end to this charade
right now!”
Gideon’s pupils dilated in response to Jack’s unexpected outburst. His hands froze in midair, and his incredulous
gaze fixated on Jack. He couldn’t help but blurt out, “What in the world… How do you know Maria’s name? And her
ring? Speak up! What is your connection to her?”
Jack couldn’t believe that the words he had learned from Morine had actually struck a nerve!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm
Jack felt a wave of relief as Gideon suddenly stopped, giving him the confidence to assert himself, “You still haven’t
earned the privilege to learn my name!”
Gideon’s expression turned stormy and his voice grew grave as he cautioned Jack, “I highly recommend that you
act wisely and reveal all the information about Maria and the ring, otherwise, I can assure you that your life will
become a living hell!”
Jack sneered in defiance, “What’s this? Threatening me, are you? Listen to me carefully! If you even think about
causing harm to anyone who is here today, you will never, ever find out where Maria is for the rest of your pitiful
life!”
Although Gideon was experiencing both anxiety and excitement, he understood that he was very close to
accomplishing the task assigned to him by the British Lord. His Mastery of the sword chi, a technique capable of
decimating the entire Evans Family with a single strike, had him brimming with anticipation. The fact that he had
stumbled upon a clue related to Maria filled him with a newfound vigor! Could it be that his journey to Aurous Hill
this time would yield an astounding treasure trove?
Fuelled by this thought, he strode purposefully towards Jack, wasting no time in snatching him by the neck with one
hand. With astonishing speed, Gideon hoisted Jack into the air, his voice dripping with icy disdain, “You possess no
aura, nor are you a Martial Artist. So prey, tell me, how did the name Maria escape your lips? Who fed you this
information?”
Jack dangled helplessly in Gideon’s iron grip, his face turning an ugly shade of black and purple. Yet, he mustered
every ounce of strength to endure the searing pain, mustering a cold smile as he glanced contemptuously at
Gideon. Through gritted teeth, he managed to utter, “Have… the courage to end me!”
Gideon’s voice turned frigid as he retorted, “Do you believe I lack the guts?”
Jack sneered defiantly, his teeth clenched in defiance, “Then prove it! Let’s see if you dare!”
Gideon’s teeth ground together for a moment before his visage transformed into one of pure malice. With
venomous determination, he continued, “Let me enlighten you. My mission here today is to exterminate the Evans
family! Now, that mission is on the precipice of success! After annihilating the Evans family, should I stumble upon
Maria, it would undoubtedly be the icing on the cake. But even if I fail to locate her, obliterating the entire Evans
family today will still be a monumental accomplishment! So don’t delude yourself into thinking that revealing
Maria’s whereabouts will earn you any leniency. On the contrary, if you don’t disclose her location within the next
three seconds, I will be the first to send you to your grave!”
In that very moment, a young man’s voice echoed from the doorway, cutting through the tension like a swift
breeze, “You’re just an old dog, barking about annihilating the entire Evans family, old man, your mouth is far too
big for your own good!”
