00:00:01Three years ago, on that stormy night, my best friend broke every bone in my body
00:00:07and buried me alive in this barren mountain.
00:00:11As he buried me, he told me the whole truth.
00:00:14He drugged me, framed me, and stole my family's business and my woman.
00:00:21At that moment, I thought I was truly going to die.
00:00:27That night, I was dug out of the dirt by an old man, with only my last breath remaining.
00:00:33On the brink of death, something dormant inside me awakened.
00:00:37The ancient god's bloodline, a blessing from the primordial gods.
00:00:42My body was reshaped, and my destiny was rewritten.
00:00:47That old man taught me the secrets of alchemy, showed me how to manipulate the ring left by the ancient
00:00:53god.
00:00:54And trained me to control the boundary of life and death with these hands tempered by divine blood.
00:01:02Time has passed, but the roaring fire of vengeance in my heart has never been extinguished.
00:01:15My show of vengeance begins now.
00:01:28Ryan, my best brother!
00:01:30It's been three years!
00:01:32I can't believe you came all this way just to attend my wedding with Abigail!
00:01:38Don't be foolish.
00:01:39Ryan is worthless compared to John now.
00:01:43It seems I didn't choose the right time to come.
00:01:47How could that be?
00:01:48I'm more than thrilled that you can witness the union of Abigail and me with your own eyes!
00:01:54So, brother, did you bring a wedding gift for Abigail and me?
00:01:58Of course I did.
00:01:59But I don't think you're gonna like it.
00:02:01How-how could that be?
00:02:02We are best friends and Abigail will be thrilled too!
00:02:08Ryan, what are you waiting for?
00:02:10Hurry up and show it to everyone!
00:02:23This is my wedding gift to you.
00:02:24Do you like it?
00:02:28Bodyguards!
00:02:29Kill him!
00:02:30Right now!
00:02:39The Kane family's bodyguards, is this the best you've got?
00:02:53Grandpa, he is so amazing!
00:02:55Has he awakened?
00:02:56Help!
00:02:58Someone save the Kane family!
00:02:59I will give you half of my family fortune!
00:03:03Next, it's your turn.
00:03:04Save me!
00:03:05Save me!
00:03:07Young man, one should know when to show mercy.
00:03:10Could you do me a favor and let this go?
00:03:15The head of the Solomon family, one of the two ancient noble families of Fregant, is actually speaking up to
00:03:20protect the Kains!
00:03:22No mean that the hobbold Ryan is, he wouldn't dare to defy the orders of head Solomon family, right?
00:03:25Thank you for saving my life, Mr. Solomon!
00:03:29Who do you think you are?
00:03:31Why should I give you face?
00:03:34I am the head of the Solomon family!
00:03:36So what?
00:03:38My lord, please let me teach him a lesson.
00:03:40Go! Break his arms and legs!
00:03:42He is also an awakening.
00:03:45There are fluctuations of awakening power inside him, and he is at least a mid-tier awakened.
00:03:49Kneel down now, and apologize to the head of the Solomon family.
00:03:53And I might plead for mercy on your behalf, and spare your life.
00:03:58A mere mid-tier awakened thinks he's worthy of making me kneel and apologize?
00:04:05How ignorant!
00:04:06Brian! Watch out!
00:04:08Brian! Watch out!
00:04:20You bastard, let go of me!
00:04:25Who on earth are you?
00:04:30Axel Solomon, the man you sent, doesn't seem to be up to much.
00:04:34Provoking the Solomon family will not end well for you.
00:04:40Quick! Take the old master to the hospital!
00:04:47Mr. Howell! If you want revenge, go after Joel!
00:04:51None of this has anything to do with me! Please, spare me!
00:04:56Dad? What did you say?
00:04:58It was him!
00:04:59He planned it all by himself three years ago!
00:05:02I had no idea!
00:05:03Mr. Howell!
00:05:04Kill him!
00:05:05I won't stop you!
00:05:07A biological father betraying his own son.
00:05:10The Cain family's values are truly an eye-opener.
00:05:14Mr. Howell!
00:05:15I am innocent too!
00:05:17It was all done by that beast Joel!
00:05:19He ruined your family!
00:05:20It has nothing to do with us!
00:05:22Jacob.
00:05:24Three years ago, the one plotting in the study to swallow up the Howell family's assets was you, wasn't he?
00:05:31That was a misunderstanding.
00:05:38That's the first one.
00:05:45Wanna run?
00:05:46Let me send you on your way.
00:05:48No!
00:05:54It's your turn.
00:06:00Ryan, I was wrong. Please, spare me!
00:06:04You don't realize you were wrong.
00:06:07You just realize you're about to die.
00:06:09No! No! I don't wanna die! I don't wanna die!
00:06:17Yo!
00:06:18Pretty lively here. What happened?
00:06:29Mr. Eaton! Help! Please save me!
00:06:35Hey.
00:06:36The third young master of the Eaton family of Etheria is standing right in front of you.
00:06:42Aren't you gonna do something about it?
00:06:44The Eaton family? Mm-hmm.
00:06:47Are they famous?
00:06:49I'll give you a chance. Apologize to me and get the hell out of Fregant.
00:06:52And I can pretend nothing happened today.
00:06:54What if I refuse?
00:06:57Refuse? No, no, no.
00:06:59No one has ever dared to refuse my demands before.
00:07:03I only need one phone call to summon at least ten Mid-Lel Awakened.
00:07:07Are you sure you still wanna refuse me?
00:07:10Suit yourself.
00:07:11Fine.
00:07:13Very well.
00:07:14You just wait.
00:07:19Joel, when you buried me alive three years ago, did you ever think this day would come?
00:07:23You killed my parents, forced my sister to jump into the sea to commit suicide.
00:07:29And today, you even wanted to marry the woman I once loved the most.
00:07:35I'm sorry, Ryan. I'm sorry.
00:07:40Honestly, I don't wanna let you die too easily.
00:07:46No! Ryan! We used to be best friends! You can't do this to me!
00:07:53Yeah. We used to be.
00:08:08What did you feed me?!
00:08:13Water Himok.
00:08:15After taking it, you will slowly experience the sensation of being unable to breathe,
00:08:21while remaining fully conscious.
00:08:24You are so cruel!
00:08:26Enjoy the last 48 hours of your life.
00:08:29You? What did you feed him?!
00:08:32You're fucking asking for death!
00:08:35Provoking me over and over again, my temper isn't as good as you think.
00:08:40You let go of me!
00:08:44Let him go.
00:08:46Miss Nolan, you're finally here.
00:08:49Grace Nolan, the heir of the Nolan family of Etheria, a peak mid-tier awakened.
00:08:55Even she is here?
00:08:59Kid, why aren't you acting cocky anymore?
00:09:07Mr. Howard?
00:09:11Mr. Howard?
00:09:11Greetings, Mr. Howald.
00:09:16Mr. Howard, long time no see.
00:09:20Last time I left in a hurry, and I never had the chance to thank you in person.
00:09:27Ms. Nolan, what did you call him?
00:09:30Ms. Nolan, long time no see.
00:09:32Are you here to back him up?
00:09:34Someone told me the third young master of the Eaton family ran into trouble here.
00:09:38I owed their family a favor, so I stopped by to take a look.
00:09:42Now it seems there's no need to return this favor.
00:09:45Break his limbs.
00:09:46Let him spend the rest of his life in a hospital.
00:09:49No!
00:09:50Ms. Nolan, you've got it wrong!
00:09:53You should be saving me!
00:09:54The Nolan family owes my family a favor!
00:09:56If my grandfather knew the person you evoked was Mr. Howell,
00:09:59you would already be a corpse by now.
00:10:04Mr. Howell, I apologize for the disturbance.
00:10:06I wonder if I can buy you a meal to make it up to you.
00:10:10Very well.
00:10:11Grace Nogan, I saved her grandfather's life a year ago.
00:10:14I didn't expect to run into her here today.
00:10:17It's just as well, I can use this opportunity to ask about Violet's situation.
00:10:24Ryan, wait!
00:10:30Is there something you need, Ms. Sander?
00:10:34I... I'm sorry.
00:10:36You have no need to apologize.
00:10:39Abigail, the person I loved most three years ago.
00:10:42After the Hauer family's downfall, she was locked up by her family and couldn't help me.
00:10:46I don't blame her.
00:10:48But I can't love her anymore.
00:10:50Now that she has put on someone else's wedding dress, there is no turning back for us.
00:11:06Jeremy Kane?
00:11:07Ryan, the wedding isn't over yet. Why are you in such a hurry to leave?
00:11:11Logan's second son, Jeremy Kane, he ran away from home seven years ago and joined the overseas skull mercenary group.
00:11:16A high tear awakened.
00:11:17Over these seven years, the number of people who died by his hand is easily in the hundreds, if not
00:11:22thousands.
00:11:23Jeremy! Kill him! Avenge me!
00:11:29You did a great job, Ryan. I've wanted to kill these two bastards for a long time.
00:11:34You bastard, what the hell are you saying?
00:11:37Shut up.
00:11:40Originally, I wanted to take advantage of this bastard Joel's wedding today to personally slaughter those two beasts, but you
00:11:45beat me to it.
00:11:46Then you should thank me.
00:11:48Thank you?
00:11:48You have no idea how many ways I prepared to torture them!
00:11:50You ruined my entire plan!
00:11:54So those torches will just have to be used on you instead.
00:12:01Grandfather, are we just going to watch them bully Ryan all by himself?
00:12:05The pressure radiating from Jeremy is levels above John's.
00:12:09If you go, wouldn't you just be throwing your life away?
00:12:12But...
00:12:13This is no place to linger. Let's go, quickly!
00:12:18Mr. Howald, step back. Leave this to me.
00:12:22Do it!
00:12:32Come on, baby. Who else wants to die?
00:12:42Mr. Howald, go! Quickly! You're no match for him!
00:12:46Yes, go quickly! Run away fast!
00:12:51Relax. He is no match for me.
00:12:56Not very old, but you sure talk big.
00:13:00An awakened of your level can't even touch the hem of my clothes.
00:13:04What did you say?!
00:13:06So, you're very confident in yourself.
00:13:09Very well. How about we make a bet?
00:13:12What bet?
00:13:14You take three strikes from my blade.
00:13:16If you're completely unharmed after three strikes,
00:13:18I'll let the two of you leave.
00:13:21But if you accidentally get hit by my sword, huh?
00:13:23Don't blame me if you end up missing an arm or a leg.
00:13:26Deal.
00:13:27Mr. Howland! No, his awakening power is at least high to-
00:13:31And what if I win?
00:13:33Take my three strikes first before-
00:13:37You dodge fast, but how many times can you dodge?
00:13:43Is that all you've got?
00:13:45Mr. Howald, he can't block that blade at all.
00:13:47The three strikes are done.
00:13:49Now, shouldn't you tell me what my reward is?
00:13:53Let's see how long you can keep talking tough!
00:13:56Oh no, he's gathering all of his awakening power.
00:13:59Be arrogant!
00:14:00Weren't you very arrogant just now?!
00:14:02Why are you quiet now?!
00:14:04Had enough fun?
00:14:06Now, it's my turn.
00:14:08What?! Impossible!
00:14:09My blade can cut through steel plates, yet you, with your bare hands!
00:14:12Nice sword. Too bad you're too weak.
00:14:19My blade...
00:14:21With your bare hands?
00:14:23Seven years away from home, and you only learned to use brute force.
00:14:27A high-tier awakened? Nothing special.
00:14:53The direct lineage of the Kane family is now fully dealt with.
00:14:59Mr. Howan, a toast to you. Thank you for giving me this honor.
00:15:03Ms. Nolan, a year ago you were only a low-tier awakened, and now you are at least at peak
00:15:07mid-tiller.
00:15:08How did you get so fast?
00:15:11In the back mountain of our Nolan family, there is a spiritual pring.
00:15:15A spiritual pring?
00:15:16Aside from my grandfather, my father, and myself, you are the fourth person to know about this.
00:15:21Even the Hanson family behind us is completely unaware.
00:15:23The spiritual energy in the spring is extremely dense.
00:15:26Cultivating inside it makes the absorption rate several times faster than the outside world.
00:15:30According to ancient texts, even in Shadow Christ Mountain, a single spiritual spring is enough to trigger a bloody war.
00:15:36To think the Nolan family is hiding such a thing.
00:15:39You saved my grandfather's life, I trust you.
00:15:41Please, keep this a secret.
00:15:43Rest assured, what is spoken from your lips stays in my ears.
00:15:47A spiritual spring.
00:15:48It seems this trip to Etheria will be far more valuable than I imagined.
00:15:54Since we've finished talking about the spiritual spring, there's something I wanted to ask you as well.
00:15:58Speak.
00:15:59How much do you know about Etheria?
00:16:01Not much. I only know of the eight great families.
00:16:03Then you must have heard of Violet Fire, right?
00:16:06I've heard of her.
00:16:07She is the lady of the Fire family, and is publicly recognized as one of the two peerless geniuses of
00:16:13Etheria.
00:16:14The other one is me.
00:16:16What happened to her?
00:16:17She is under house arrest.
00:16:19The backers behind the Fire family, the Baron family of Shadowcrest Mountain, forced her into an engagement a few months
00:16:24ago.
00:16:25Her father was trying to delay the wedding, but he died suddenly a month ago.
00:16:28Once her uncle took power, he agreed to the marriage immediately.
00:16:31The eldest young master of the Baron family is a psychopath.
00:16:34At least six women have already died by his hands.
00:16:37Any woman married to him doesn't even survive a year.
00:16:40Violet is locked up at home right now, and she's set to marry him on the Winter Celtus.
00:16:44There is less than a month left.
00:16:46Mr. Howald?
00:16:52Mr. Howald?
00:16:54Do you know Violet?
00:16:55Her father, how did he die?
00:16:57Officially it was a sudden illness, but, indeed, some say his death was highly suspicious.
00:17:03Violet.
00:17:04Three years ago, because of the Aphrodite and Joel slipped me, Violet was forced to have relations with me.
00:17:07Later, the head of the Fire family came to Prus for me.
00:17:09She set aside all grudges and risked her life to help me.
00:17:11If not for her, I wouldn't be alive today.
00:17:13Now the Baron wants to marry her?
00:17:15The Fire family puts her under house arrest?
00:17:17You dare lay a finger on my woman?
00:17:18Mr. Howald?
00:17:20Are you okay?
00:17:21Continue.
00:17:22How strong is the Baron family on Shadowcast Mountain?
00:17:25Dreamly strong.
00:17:26They have at least dozens of High-Tier Awakened, and even stronger old monsters guarding their direct lineage.
00:17:31The eldest young master of the Baron family is the old Patroc's only son, spoiled beyond belief.
00:17:35One month. There is still time.
00:17:37You... you wouldn't be planning to...
00:17:45Violet.
00:17:46I owe you.
00:17:48This time, I won't let you carry this burden alone anymore.
00:17:52Mr. Howan, you asked about the Baron family just now.
00:17:55Are you really planning to storm Shadowcrest Mountain?
00:17:57How much time do I have left?
00:18:00Exactly three weeks until the winter solstice.
00:18:03Can the spiritual spring be used right now?
00:18:06Yes. Tonight is the night of the full moon, the time when the spring's spiritual energy is at its densest.
00:18:11Lead the way. Three weeks. Within three weeks, I must temper my ancient god bloodline and alchemy to a level
00:18:17sufficient to contend with the Baron family.
00:18:19The spiritual spring is my fastest path right now.
00:18:23This is the spiritual spring. On the night of a full moon, the concentration of spiritual energy is three times
00:18:29the usual.
00:18:30I was able to break through to peak mid-tier within a year because of it.
00:18:36This spiritual energy is even purer than I anticipated. My ancient god bloodline is resonating.
00:18:43Mr. Howald, I must warn you. Though the spiritual spring is powerful, the risk is also immense.
00:18:48If one does not have a strong enough bloodline and physical body, rashly absorbing the spiritual energy can easily lead
00:18:54to a backlash that will tear you apart.
00:18:56Don't worry. The blood in my body can take it.
00:19:09Come on. These three years cannot be wasted solely on revenge. The real battle has only just begun.
00:19:18The spiritual spring has awakened one tear of my ancient god bloodline, but it's still not enough.
00:19:24The Baron family has dozens of high-tier awakened guarding them. This body is still not strong enough.
00:19:32How is it?
00:19:34It still needs more tempering. I'll come back in a few days.
00:19:38The spiritual spring is always open to you.
00:19:42There's something I want to tell you. Growing up, I've seen countless people.
00:19:45Those who flatter me, fear me, or want to gain something from me.
00:19:48Only you. You saved my grandfather's life, yet wanted nothing in return.
00:19:51Today at the wedding, when you stood in front of me and said, leave this to me,
00:19:54it was the first time I felt what it's like to be protected by someone.
00:19:59Following me is very dangerous.
00:20:03I know. I'm not afraid.
00:20:11I'll be back in three days.
00:20:15I'll wait for you.
00:20:23Dad, Mom, I'm back.
00:20:28The revenge has been taken. None of the canes are left.
00:20:32Lily hasn't been found yet.
00:20:36But I believe she's still alive.
00:20:39I will bring her back.
00:20:44This is Lily's.
00:20:46I bought this for her myself when she started middle school.
00:20:49She never took it off.
00:20:51This brooch is still very new.
00:20:53It doesn't look like it has been lying on the ground for three years.
00:20:56It was dropped here recently.
00:20:59Recently, she was here.
00:21:04Lily, are you still alive?
00:21:06Three years ago, she jumped into the sea and her body was never found.
00:21:10Everyone said she was dead.
00:21:11I believed it too.
00:21:12But if she is dead, how could this brooch appear here?
00:21:15She is sending me a signal.
00:21:16She is telling me she is still alive.
00:21:19Dad, Mom, Lily is still alive.
00:21:23I will find her.
00:21:24No matter where she is.
00:21:27Lily, wait for me.
00:21:36Who is it?
00:21:39It's me, Cindy.
00:21:45I saw this girl at Abigail's wedding.
00:21:49Why are you here?
00:21:50My grandfather mentioned that today is the anniversary of your parents bossing.
00:21:55I thought maybe you would come.
00:22:00Last time at the hotel, I really admired you.
00:22:02Not just because you are insanely strong, but because everything you do has a reason.
00:22:08You made a special trip just to say this?
00:22:10And to introduce myself formally, Cindy Riley.
00:22:14Let's be friends.
00:22:21This aura.
00:22:22Ancient texts have recorded this kind of lineage.
00:22:25The angel bloodline.
00:22:27Its own awakening power isn't strong, but it can greatly boost the power of anyone she touches.
00:22:32However, the side effects are also immense.
00:22:35You didn't sleep well last night?
00:22:37Is it that obvious?
00:22:40Is it like this every night of the full moon?
00:22:44Fine, I can't hide it from you.
00:22:46Indeed.
00:22:47Every night of the full moon, my body feels like it's frozen.
00:22:49A pain that seeps right out of my bones.
00:22:51As expected.
00:22:51The price of the angel bloodline on the night of the full moon,
00:22:54the entire body is eroded by coldness, causing agonizing pain.
00:22:57But it's fine.
00:22:58I'm going to see a doctor tomorrow.
00:22:59My grandpa knows a master who's soaked to be able to cure my ailment.
00:23:02A doctor?
00:23:03What doctor?
00:23:03I think she's called...
00:23:04Scarlett Davinson?
00:23:05Anyway, my grandfather said she's very powerful and specializes in treating rare diseases.
00:23:08Scarlett Davinson.
00:23:09You know her?
00:23:10A half-baked shorter, operating on the banner of a divine doctor,
00:23:12who can't even energy of the angel bloodline is left in her hands.
00:23:15It would be a miracle if nothing goes wrong.
00:23:17What time are you going tomorrow?
00:23:18Ten in the morning, at the Riley's residence.
00:23:21I'll go with you.
00:23:22Really?
00:23:23You are willing to accompany me?
00:23:25That doctor, I don't quite trust her.
00:23:27Is this you worrying about me?
00:23:29I'll pick you up tomorrow.
00:23:30Okay, I'll wait for you then.
00:23:32Also...
00:23:34Ryan, although we haven't known each other for long, I really like you.
00:23:37Not the worship kind of, like, just the kind where I want to stay by your side.
00:23:43Angel Bloodline.
00:23:45Scarlett Davinson.
00:23:47I hope that doctor doesn't try anything funny tomorrow.
00:23:50Otherwise, I wouldn't mind teaching her a lesson she won't forget.
00:24:00Mr. Housen's presence honors us. Please forgive our lack of preparation for your arrival.
00:24:07Thomas, time is precious. Let's begin the treatment now.
00:24:11Follow me into the inner chamber. During the treatment, no outsiders are allowed.
00:24:18Wait.
00:24:21What are you doing?
00:24:22If the treatment is delayed, can you take responsibility?
00:24:25Dad, Ryan is just...
00:24:26Scarlett Davidson.
00:24:27I heard you specialize in treating rare ailments.
00:24:30Since you know, why haven't you let go yet?
00:24:32Do you know the root cause of the bone-chilling cold she experiences every full moon night?
00:24:36Of course I do.
00:24:38There is a foreign cold energy inside her body that must be forcefully suppressed with my prescription.
00:24:44If the effect is poor, we can completely destroy her awakening power to eliminate the problem once and for all.
00:24:49Destroying her awakening power and turning her into a cripple?
00:24:53This is your treatment plan?
00:24:55You...
00:24:56Are you a doctor or an awakened?
00:24:59The issue with her body is not some foreign cold energy at all.
00:25:02It is the angel bloodline.
00:25:04You can't even see through this?
00:25:08The...
00:25:09Angel bloodline?
00:25:12The cold energy in your body comes from the bloodline itself.
00:25:15It is not a disease.
00:25:17According to her method of treatment, you would be completely ruined for the rest of your life.
00:25:24Even if you are right, what way do you have to cure it?
00:25:27How about we make a bet?
00:25:29If I cure her, you kneel and admit defeat.
00:25:32If I fail, you can take my life.
00:25:37Fine!
00:25:38It's a bet!
00:25:41Come in with me.
00:25:48Ryan...
00:25:49Can you really cure me?
00:25:54Drink this.
00:26:00The cold energy is being expelled.
00:26:03Hold on.
00:26:13It's done.
00:26:14It won't hurt on full moon nights anymore.
00:26:21I...
00:26:22Actually have power now.
00:26:26She's cured.
00:26:27She's really cured.
00:26:32This old woman was blind.
00:26:35I accept my defeat.
00:26:37Impossible.
00:26:38He must have used some evil sorcery.
00:26:43I won the bet, not you.
00:26:45Glare at me once more and I'll gouge your eyes out next time.
00:26:52Um...
00:26:53Mr. Howell, I failed to recognize your greatness earlier.
00:26:57You saved Cindy, making you the great benefactor of our Riley family.
00:27:01No matter what, please stay for a casual meal today.
00:27:03Yes, yes, yes.
00:27:04I'll have the kitchen prepare it right away.
00:27:07Our Cindy has been frail since childhood and we, as her parents, have worried ourselves sick.
00:27:12Today you cured her.
00:27:13We really, really don't know how to thank you enough.
00:27:16How about it? Will you do us the honor?
00:27:19Mr. Howell, please stay.
00:27:21We're all family, no need to be polite.
00:27:23Fine.
00:27:23Thank you for the hospitality.
00:27:28Have you noticed?
00:27:29The way my parents look at me is totally different.
00:27:32It's like they're looking at their own son.
00:27:34You talk too much.
00:27:44Ryan, try this.
00:27:46It's my specialty.
00:27:48Slow roasted for three hours, you absolutely must try it.
00:27:52This is too grand.
00:27:53Mr. Howell, my attitude in the hall earlier was poor.
00:27:57You are Cindy's savior.
00:27:58I toast to you.
00:27:59From now on, the doors of the Riley's family are always open to you.
00:28:03Good.
00:28:04Now this is more like a family.
00:28:06Exactly. Ryan, if you don't mind, come over and visit more often.
00:28:09I think you and Cindy look exceptionally compatible together.
00:28:15Mom, what are you talking about?
00:28:17I'm just telling the truth.
00:28:18Since you grew up, when have you ever brought a boy home?
00:28:22Ryan is the first.
00:28:26Come, try this cream gratin while it's hot.
00:28:34Ryan, are you free tomorrow?
00:28:37Why?
00:28:38I want to go to Seville.
00:28:40My best friend, Bella Rush, and I go to school there.
00:28:42She has a fiancee named Jensen.
00:28:44I always feel like something is off with him.
00:28:46His eyes are cold and his smiles never reach his eyes.
00:28:49Plus, I can't find any trace of his whereabouts before three years ago as if he appeared out of thin
00:28:53air.
00:28:54Bella Rose trusts him completely, but I just don't feel easy.
00:28:57I can't put my finger on what's wrong, but my intuition tells me that he definitely has an agenda for
00:29:03getting close to her.
00:29:05What time tomorrow?
00:29:08You're really willing to come with me?
00:29:11Since you've asked, how can I say no?
00:29:19This Jensen you mentioned, does he have any strange behaviors?
00:29:23Once I saw a dark red pattern on his hand.
00:29:26When I asked him what it was, he said it was a birthmark.
00:29:29But that pattern didn't look like one to me.
00:29:32A dark red pattern?
00:29:34What's wrong?
00:29:35A dark red pattern.
00:29:36A mysterious past and deletely approaching with special syndetician.
00:29:41This sounds very much like the myths of an evil cult.
00:29:44If that's the Akae, this Jensen is probably far more than just off.
00:29:48I'll go with you tomorrow to take a look.
00:30:01Oh my god, is this the friend you were talking about?
00:30:03He is way too handsome!
00:30:05This is Ryan, and this is Phoebe, my roommate.
00:30:08Nice to meet you.
00:30:09Cindy has never brought a guy to campus before, you're the very first.
00:30:15No wonder you were in such a hurry to ask me out today, so you were coming to show off.
00:30:20Mr. Ryan indeed looks sharp, but compared to my Jensen, he's still no match.
00:30:25Maggie is at it again.
00:30:27She's been trying to curry favor with Jensen for a long time.
00:30:30Jensen.
00:30:31Justin Gildan, Belarus fiance!
00:30:33He is a legendary figure in Seville, the founder of Skyvent Tech with a market value of 300 million!
00:30:37Maggie, that's enough.
00:30:37He had a market value of some 300 indeed.
00:30:40But her deliberately emphasizing this, it seems this Jensen is almost a perfect role model in their eyes.
00:30:45Interesting.
00:30:54Cindy, who is this guy?
00:30:55None of your business.
00:30:56Kid, taking away the campus belle of Sivlan isn't that easy.
00:31:01If you have the guts, how about we go to the ring and spar?
00:31:07Lionel, causing trouble again?
00:31:09Sorry Jensen, I'm leaving right now!
00:31:12Who is this?
00:31:14Bella Rose, won't you introduce us?
00:31:16Jensen, this is Ryan, Cindy's friend.
00:31:19Pleasure.
00:31:20This man, his smile is perfect, but there is no warmth in his eyes.
00:31:24Cindy's intuition was right.
00:31:26He deliberately showed up when Bella Rose needed help the most to maintain a flawless image.
00:31:31A bit too perfect.
00:31:32Too perfect to be real.
00:31:35This show in Seville is turning out to be far more interesting than I imagined.
00:31:45Jensen!
00:31:46Long time no see!
00:31:48I heard your company just secured another huge investment.
00:31:51Just a small project, not worth mentioning.
00:31:53You are way too humble.
00:31:55Right, since it's rare for all of us to gather like this today, why don't we go grab a bite
00:31:58together?
00:31:59I know Azure Dining recently released some new dishes.
00:32:02That place is high class.
00:32:03Ordinary people can't get in.
00:32:04But with Jensen here, it definitely won't be a problem.
00:32:07Azure Dining is the most elite membership-only restaurant in the world.
00:32:09in Seville, costing over $1,000 per person.
00:32:12Maggie is doing this on purpose.
00:32:15Azure Dining, won't that place be too expensive?
00:32:18Don't worry.
00:32:19With Jensen here today, are you afraid we won't get in?
00:32:23Besides, Cindy's friend came from afar.
00:32:26We can't just treat him to some random roadside stall, can we?
00:32:30Maggie, don't be like this.
00:32:31Since everyone is in high spirits, let's go to Azure Dining.
00:32:34Today is my treat.
00:32:35Consider it a welcoming dinner for Cindy.
00:32:37Azure Dining, a membership-only high-end restaurant.
00:32:40Maggie pushing for this so hard is likely Jensen's doing behind the scenes.
00:32:44He wants to show off his wealth and make me look bad in front of these girls.
00:32:47Fine.
00:32:47Since he set up the stage, I might as well step up and see.
00:32:50Let's go.
00:32:51It's free food.
00:32:52Jensen, you've laid down all this groundwork just because you want to trample over me at some point.
00:32:59The place you chose is probably for more than just eating.
00:33:03A place like this, if not for Jensen, we would never have the chance to set foot in.
00:33:09Since Ryan is Cindy's friend, if you ever need anything in C-Ban in the future, just let me know.
00:33:14Mr. Ryan is capable himself. Why would he need your help?
00:33:20Maggie must be joking. I'm just an unemployed wanderer.
00:33:24Young Master Gildan, the total is $70,500. Will you be paying by card?
00:33:29Wait, the one paying the bill today is this handsome brother, Ryan.
00:33:33This doesn't seem very nice.
00:33:35Maggie, you've gone too far.
00:33:38It's Ryan's first time here. Let me handle it.
00:33:41Consider this meal a welcome dinner for Cinda's friend.
00:33:45Oh my god, a gold card!
00:33:48I heard Axure Dining's membership cards have three tiers, silver, gold, and diamond.
00:33:51There are no more than ten gold cards in the entire sea field.
00:33:53Jensen, you are simply amazing!
00:33:55Well, I didn't choose the wrong man, did I?
00:33:58A gold card. Quite prestigious indeed.
00:34:00But the more extravagant the performance, the more embarrassing the curtain call.
00:34:04Let him enjoy his moment a little longer.
00:34:05In a moment, there will be a card he could never even dream of, crushing his little prestige into dust.
00:34:16Ryan, Jensen has already taken out his gold card.
00:34:19You aren't really planning to let him pay, are you?
00:34:22Maggie, don't do this.
00:34:23Am I wrong?
00:34:23Since he's Cindy's boyfriend, if he won't even shell out money for a single meal,
00:34:26isn't he embarrassed to let people know?
00:34:32Can this card be used?
00:34:38This... this card... this card...
00:34:40I don't have a high enough clearance to verify its authenticity.
00:34:43Please wait a moment, I'll go get the owner right away.
00:34:46When the owner gets here and finds out it's a fake card, that will be truly embarrassing.
00:34:51Maggie, what if it really is some kind of legendary card?
00:34:54Legendary?
00:34:55Even Brother Jensen's gold card didn't make the waitress run to find the owner.
00:34:58How amazing could his pinch black card possibly be?
00:35:01Maggie, keep your mouth shut.
00:35:02I'm just telling the truth.
00:35:04Since Cindy found a boyfriend, we have to check him out for her, don't we?
00:35:09Brother Ryan, this meal indeed doesn't come cheap.
00:35:12If you are having any difficulties, there's no need to force yourself.
00:35:25This is... the black rainbow diamond card?
00:35:28What black rainbow diamond card? I've never even heard of it.
00:35:31Owner, make sure you look closely, don't get fooled by a fake card.
00:35:34There are no more than three black rainbow diamond cards in the in-country.
00:35:38This card is genuine.
00:35:50Sir, to host such a distinguished guest as you is the ultimate honor for our Azure dining.
00:35:55All expenses today are completely on the house.
00:36:10Brother Ryan, you are simply too amazing!
00:36:14What on earth is the deal with that black rainbow diamond card?
00:36:16Even the owner bowed in person and made it free!
00:36:19Jensen, where are we going now?
00:36:21Since everyone is here, why don't we go visit my boxing gym?
00:36:25It's nearby, just a five minute walk.
00:36:28He's trying to save face.
00:36:30His gold card was crushed to dust, and he can't suppress me with wealth anymore.
00:36:33Now he wants to switch to the field of physical wart. Fine.
00:36:36The harder he falls on his own turf, the cleaner his perfectest styles will be torn off.
00:36:41Sure! I've been wanting to see what level the boxing gyms in Seavield are at.
00:36:50Hello, Gym Master!
00:36:54This is the boxing gym I opened last year.
00:36:57Currently, we have over 80 coaches and more than 300 members.
00:37:00Oh my god, this is way too magnificent!
00:37:02Jensen, you are truly amazing!
00:37:04Having both a company and a boxing gym, you are simply a winner in life!
00:37:08This machine measures punching power, divided into three tiers.
00:37:12A, B, and C.
00:37:14The starting threshold for tier A is 440 pounds.
00:37:17Since we are here, I'll show you all a little demonstration first.
00:37:23Oh my god! 2727 pounds!
00:37:26Brother Jensen, are you even human?
00:37:27This is too exaggerated! This kind of ladder could smash a steel plate!
00:37:31How about that?
00:37:33My Jensen doesn't just know how to do business.
00:37:35Ryan, why don't you go up and give it a try too?
00:37:38You showed your hand in the restaurant just now.
00:37:40Surely you won't hide your skills now that we're at the gym?
00:37:42Exactly, Ryan!
00:37:43Jensen hit 2727 pounds, surely you aren't too afraid of embarrassing yourself to go up?
00:37:47Sure, since Jensen invited me so warmly, I'll give it a shot.
00:37:582727 pounds, quite impressive for an ordinary person indeed.
00:38:02But his deliberate display of power is merely to make me look bad in front of everyone.
00:38:07Too bad, he chose the wrong opponent.
00:38:24The machine exploded!
00:38:33The quality of this machine is average. Get a sturdier one next time.
00:38:37Brother, Ryan is indeed no ordinary man.
00:38:41I underestimated you earlier. Since you are so strong, how about stepping onto the ring to spar?
00:38:46Since we are already here, let's entertain everyone.
00:38:52We'll stop when the point is made, how about it?
00:39:01How do you want to spar?
00:39:04We'll talk once we're on the ring.
00:39:06He clearly knows my performance on the punch test far exceeds his, yet he still wants to get on the
00:39:11ring.
00:39:12Either he still has a TUP card he hasn't shown, or the rules on this boxing ring are decided by
00:39:18him.
00:39:19Be careful.
00:39:35You think showing off a card in the restaurant can suppress me?
00:39:38You think breaking a machine can make me bow? Naive.
00:39:43His... His name!
00:39:45Jensen, what's wrong with you? You are not human?
00:39:50He's a monster. He is a monster.
00:39:53Demon lineage. No wonder there has been an uncontrollable smell of blood on you.
00:39:58You refined your own blood into an evil thing, exchanging it for this half-man, half-ghost appearance.
00:40:03Shut up!
00:40:09Why are you dodging?
00:40:12Hand still for me!
00:40:13You've lost. From the moment you transformed, you already lost.
00:40:16Although the demon lineage can grant you power, it is also devouring your sanity.
00:40:20You can't even touch a corner of my clothes right now.
00:40:24Lost! Ha ha ha! You say I lost?!
00:40:28I indeed can't catch you, but the person beside you? How many times can she dodge?
00:40:37Your woman seems to like you quite a bit. Just try laying a finger on her.
00:40:42Let's see about that.
00:40:57Let's see about that.
00:41:00Noo!
00:41:02Noo!
00:41:07Noo!
00:41:08Stand back.
00:41:11Noo!
00:41:12Noo!
00:41:15You forced my hand. I cultivated this body, refining it for seven years. Seven years! What do you have to
00:41:25compete with me?
00:41:46It's impossible. My soul refining Halligriff!
00:41:58You, who on earth are you?
00:42:02You are not yet qualified to know.
00:42:11He's dead?
00:42:26You are free.
00:42:30Thank you, Ryan.
00:42:41Ryan, wait.
00:42:46There's five million in here. It's not much, but it's everything I can offer right now. You saved my life.
00:42:52I can't let you leave empty-handed.
00:42:54No need. I didn't come here for money anyway.
00:42:59But...
00:43:01Do you know why he chose you?
00:43:06Your constitution is rather special. It's nothing to ordinary people, but to someone like him, it's the best nourishment.
00:43:13His approaching you, the engagement, everything was because you have what he wanted. It had nothing to do with who
00:43:19you are.
00:43:19This is a cleansing potion. Drink it when you get back. It will help clear the remaining evil energy inside
00:43:25you. There won't be any side effects.
00:43:32Thanks.
00:43:35Thank you. Truly.
00:43:37Go back. Live well.
00:43:49You clearly could have taken that money. Why didn't you?
00:43:51She needs that money more to start over. I don't lack this pocket change.
00:43:58What's next, then? You surely don't plan on staying in Fragan forever.
00:44:05I'm going to Etheria.
00:44:07Etheria? To do what?
00:44:09The debts owned to the Howell family haven't been fully paid yet. The Cain's family was just the beginning.
00:44:13For the Fi family, the Baron family, and those hiding in the shadows, I will make them all pay the
00:44:21price.
00:44:22You're going alone?
00:44:24Alone.
00:44:25Etheria.
00:44:26Violet is still under house arrest there, waiting to be married off to the Baron family.
00:44:31I must walk this path to the end.
00:44:34No matter what lies ahead.
00:44:40Economy class is truly smelly and cramped.
00:44:43If I had known, this young master shouldn't have gone to join the fun at Fire Soul Mountain yesterday.
00:44:47Don't be angry, young master. We'll be there very soon.
00:44:52Just when I wanted some peace and quiet, someone starts making a racket.
00:44:56In that case, it's only fair to make you shut up for a while.
00:45:11Holy crap! So gorgeous! There's actually such a Top Reap beauty on this flight?
00:45:19Hey lady! I am Zane, a young master of the Zingers family in Etheria. Let's get to know each other!
00:45:24Once we land in Etheria, dinner is on me!
00:45:33Ryan, I hope you can give me a chance to explain.
00:45:36Three years ago, my parents locked me up, confiscated my phone, and forbid me from going out.
00:45:42It wasn't that I didn't want to help you.
00:45:45I truly couldn't get out.
00:45:50If possible, I hope you can give me a chance for Russ to start over.
00:45:57No.
00:46:04Kid, a beauty is talking to you. What's with the attitude?
00:46:07What do you think you are?
00:46:08Don't you even have basic manners?
00:46:18Let me teach you what it means to...
00:46:23My hand! My hand! What the hell did you do?
00:46:28Don't touch me.
00:46:32Fine. Just you wait.
00:46:34Once we get off the plane, let's see if you can still be this arrogant.
00:46:39Get off the plane? Sure. I'd like to see who exactly you can call.
00:46:46Sis! I've landed! Weren't you at the airport today too?
00:46:48Help me teach someone a lesson. Some ignorant bumpar I met on the plane.
00:46:52Don't worry about the details. Just bring people over. I'll wait for you at the exit.
00:46:56Hey! Stop right there! My sister will be here any second.
00:47:00If you know what's good for you, kneel down and apologize right now, and I might let you off.
00:47:04When my sister brings her people, you'll be too late to regret it!
00:47:07Your sister?
00:47:08The eldest miss of the Zimmer family. Someone you can't afford to mess with.
00:47:14Damn it. Once you meet my sister, you won't be smiling anymore.
00:47:40Hello. Are you Mr. Ryan? I am Yasmin Zimmer, the guard captain of the Nolan family. Miss Grace asked me
00:47:46to wait for you here.
00:47:47Grace's person? That was quick. It seems this eldest miss of the Zimmer family has deep ties with the Nolan
00:47:52family.
00:47:54Sis! It's this kid! He made me lose face on the plane! And he freakin' hit me! Hurry up and
00:47:59help me deal with him!
00:48:01My sister is here! You're dead meat! If I don't have you crippled today, my last name isn't Zimp!
00:48:09Kneel down, and apologize to Mr. Ryan.
00:48:13Sis? You're making me kneel to this Bumplin? He hit me! Instead of helping me get even, you want me
00:48:20to kneel to him?
00:48:21I told you to kneel. Don't make me say it a third time.
00:48:26I won't kneel! Why should I? When did our Zimmer family has to kneel to some nobody-
00:48:36Ah! Dane!
00:48:40Sis! My leg! My leg!
00:48:47Since you won't kneel, I'll help you.
00:48:49Mr. Ryan, my brother has offended you. This is the explanation I offer on behalf of my family. Please forgive
00:48:54us.
00:48:55Keep your brother in check. Next time I run into him, it won't just be his knee that gets ruined.
00:48:59Rest assured, sir, there won't be another chance.
00:49:07Mr. Ryan, Miss Grace is waiting for you at the Nolan Martial Arts Academy.
00:49:12She said, from this day on, you are the most distinguished honorary mentor of the Nolan family.
00:49:20Mr. Ryan, there seems to be no fluctuation of awakening power on you.
00:49:24If I may ask, what is your primary attribute?
00:49:28No attribute.
00:49:30Then how do you fight?
00:49:34Awakening power is not the only way to fight.
00:49:44We're here.
00:49:51Is that the new mentor?
00:49:54So young?
00:49:55Just here to build up his resume, probably.
00:50:00The new mentor is here?
00:50:02It seems so.
00:50:03In his early twenties, what can he possibly teach?
00:50:05I've trained here for seven years. Why should some green kid teach me?
00:50:11When he comes over, I'll test his fists first.
00:50:14If he can't even take one punch from me, then don't blame me for making him look bad.
00:50:26You're the new guy?
00:50:28Yes.
00:50:29Did you hear what I just said?
00:50:31I heard.
00:50:33So what's your attitude?
00:50:34There are many who want to test me. One more won't make a difference.
00:50:49Fine. Let's show you then.
00:50:57Captain Wyatt's getting serious.
00:50:59Even a steel plate wouldn't hold up against this punch.
00:51:08He's going to block it with a finger?
00:51:11Sir.
00:51:17What?
00:51:20Is this all the strength you have?
00:51:34A finger.
00:51:36He only used a single finger.
00:51:46Listen up, everyone.
00:51:48From this day on, Mr. Ryan is the honorary mentor of the Knowlton Academy.
00:51:53His orders are equivalent to Miss Grace's personal commands.
00:51:56If anyone has an objection, speak now.
00:52:02Tobias Nolan.
00:52:03I apologize for my previous offense.
00:52:06I am truly convinced of Mr. Ryan's strength.
00:52:09Greetings, honorary mentor.
00:52:11Greetings, honorary mentor.
00:52:12Rise, all of you.
00:52:15Lead the way.
00:52:16To my quarters.
00:52:18Yes, sir. Please follow me.
00:52:22One move. Just one move.
00:52:24Captain Ryan's army.
00:52:25You must be fractured.
00:52:28This man's strength is even deeper than what he's shown.
00:52:31This stage at the Nolan Academy is settled.
00:52:35Next, I must prepare to meet Grace's grandfather.
00:52:38The true ruler of Etheria won't be as easy to deal with as these students.
00:52:45Grandfather.
00:52:46Mr. Ryan is truly powerful.
00:52:48I saw him fight with my own eyes and fragened.
00:52:50And Wyatt couldn't even last one punch against him.
00:52:52At tonight's banquet, as long as you step forward and announce him as the honorary mentor, the others won't-
00:52:56I believe you.
00:52:57Of course I believe you.
00:52:59Then what are you worried about?
00:53:00Just because I believe you doesn't mean the rest of the family will.
00:53:03You know who is coming tonight.
00:53:04The seven elders, the heads of the three vassal families, and those old folks from the collateral branches.
00:53:08If they haven't seen Ryan fight with their own eyes, all they will see is a young man in his
00:53:11early 20s walking into the Nolan banquet hall in casual clothes.
00:53:14Judging people by their appearance is a flaw carved into their very bones.
00:53:17If Ryan cannot command respect on the spot, after tonight, the entire Nolan family will look down on him as
00:53:22an honorary mentor.
00:53:23When that happens, no one will listen to him, no one will execute your arrangements, and it will be difficult
00:53:26for me to even mediate.
00:53:28Then what should we do?
00:53:29What to do is not up to me, but up to him.
00:53:32He must stand firm on his own tonight.
00:53:34Grace, if you want him to truly establish himself in the Nolan family, you must not shield him tonight.
00:53:45Him? The honorary mentor Miss Grace talked about?
00:53:48He doesn't even have a decent formal suit.
00:53:51I wonder how Grace chose him.
00:53:53The young man has plenty of presence.
00:53:56But presence alone won't keep him secure in this position.
00:54:01You a Ryan?
00:54:06Why it was trained by me personally.
00:54:08You ruined his arm, and tonight, I expect you to explain this to me clearly.
00:54:16Elder Marcus!
00:54:17Mr. Ryan is a distinguished guest, personally invited by Grandfather.
00:54:23Grandfather?
00:54:25Let him try.
00:54:29Marcus, say whatever you wish to say.
00:54:33It just so happens that I also want to see if the person my granddaughter went to fetch herself...
00:54:38Is worthy of the entire Nolan family bowing down.
00:54:43Fine.
00:54:44Then I will test you on behalf of the family.
00:54:47Let's see if you are truly worthy of standing before this table.
00:54:57Kid, you ruined both of my disciples' arms. Today I'll take both of yours first.
00:55:02Cut the crap. Throw your punch.
00:55:05You're not even taking a stance?
00:55:07No need. I'll just stand right here. Hit me.
00:55:10Is this kid crazy?
00:55:11Elder Marcus is a super tear awakened.
00:55:14Standing still and letting him hit?
00:55:15He's looking for death.
00:55:17Grandfather, please stop Marcus.
00:55:20What's the rush? The good show is just beginning.
00:55:23Grandfather?
00:55:24If he blocks it, after tonight, the entire Nolan family will shut their mouths.
00:55:31Let him try.
00:55:35You asked for this!
00:55:51Who else? Anyone else want to step up and have a chat with me?
00:55:58Quiet now. Good.
00:56:12Did you all see that?
00:56:21This is Mr. Ryan.
00:56:23From today on, he sits in the chair of Nolan's honorary mentor.
00:56:26Who has an objection? Speak now.
00:56:33None.
00:56:36I have witnessed Mr. Ryan's strength with my own eyes.
00:56:44Greetings, honorary mentor.
00:56:47Greetings, honorary mentor. Greetings, honorary mentor. Greetings, honorary mentor.
00:56:58Mr. Ryan, the main table has a seat reserved for you.
00:57:14The seat is secured. Next, time to talk business.
00:57:26After tonight, you've established yourself in the Nolan family.
00:57:29They just don't dare to act to my face. What they think behind my back is another matter.
00:57:34What you really need to look out for is not the people inside the Nolan family.
00:57:37The grand competition of the eight great families.
00:57:39Who?
00:57:40Tomorrow, it will be held at the arena beneath Mount Amethyst.
00:57:43If Nolan wants to secure its current status, we must make it into the top three.
00:57:47Last year, we ranked fourth.
00:57:48Word came from the Fia family this year that they've invited an old monster to come out of retirement.
00:57:55Fia.
00:57:56Gideon Fire.
00:57:57The half-step super-tier.
00:57:59If he takes the stage personally...
00:58:01It's just as well that he's coming.
00:58:03What did you say?
00:58:04I have been looking for him for a long time. Gideon Fire.
00:58:07Three years ago, when the Howell family was wiped away, he was one of the forces behind it.
00:58:12If he doesn't show up, I'll have to go look for him myself.
00:58:17Your brother.
00:58:19Knee.
00:58:20Ruined.
00:58:21I broke it myself.
00:58:22If I hadn't done it, he wouldn't even be alive to stand here now.
00:58:25He is your own brother!
00:58:27You broke his leg for an outsider and you still think you did the right thing?!
00:58:30Father, you still don't understand.
00:58:32Ryan is not an outsider.
00:58:33He is the person Miss Grace fetched herself.
00:58:35The Nolan family hosted a banquet for him tonight.
00:58:38And even Elder Marcus was blown away in a single move.
00:58:41Why do you think a piece of trash like Zane stands a chance against such a person?
00:58:45Nolan family, the Fire family, they are all the same.
00:58:48If they can hire people, so can I.
00:58:51Who do you plan to look for?
00:58:52You don't need to know.
00:58:54You only need to remember, your brother's leg won't be broken for nothing.
00:59:02Gideon Fire has agreed to meet.
00:59:06Tomorrow.
00:59:06Father, you have absolutely no idea what kind of person you are evoking.
00:59:23This is the arena for the grand competition.
00:59:25The eight families take turns on stage, best of three for each match.
00:59:28A family can send anyone to fight.
00:59:31Disciples, captains, elders, there are no limits.
00:59:33Mr. Ryan, whether Nolan can secure its place in the top three today depends entirely on you.
00:59:38On the Fire family's side, is it confirmed that Gideon will take the stage?
00:59:41News received last night, he will fight on behalf of the Fire family and he specifically named you to meet
00:59:46him on the stage.
00:59:46He has been famous for 50 years, a half-step super tier.
00:59:50Mr. Ryan, are you confident?
00:59:51When he stands across from me, we will know.
00:59:57First match, Nolan Martial Arts Academy against Zimmer Martial Arts Academy.
01:00:02Both sides send five disciples to fight.
01:00:05Go up there. Just do exactly what I taught you yesterday.
01:00:13Yasmin, you betrayed the family to join Nolan.
01:00:17Today, the head of the family has ordered us to cripple you on this stage.
01:00:29Crush her.
01:00:40Nolan Academy wins!
01:00:43Nolan Academy wins!
01:00:49Next, it's your turn.
01:00:53Second match!
01:00:55Nolan Martial Arts Academy against Fire Martial Arts Academy!
01:01:00Both main generals take the stage!
01:01:07Little beast, get up here.
01:01:19Little beast, get up here.
01:01:25Three years ago, that survivor of the Howell family managed to escape.
01:01:29Today, you've delivered yourself right to my doorstep.
01:01:33Three years ago, the night the Howell family was wiped out, you were pulling the strings.
01:01:38Today, it's time to settle the score.
01:02:09Two years ago, the
01:02:16Blood Forge Ascension, Ultimate Transformation!
01:02:23A half-step super tier reinforced by Dark Sorcerer Mr. Ryan, you cannot take this hit head-on!
01:02:33Dive!
01:02:36Doomsday Tempest.
01:02:50One sword strike? He only used a single strike? That old monster of the Fire Family has been defeated?
01:02:57What on earth are you?
01:02:59You should have known three years ago. The Howells didn't all die out.
01:03:12Gideon has fallen. The Fire Family's trumpard is thoroughly exposed.
01:03:19Next, it's time to settle the remaining debts.
01:03:32The Fire Family is hereby stripped of its name in Etheria starting today.
01:03:38If anyone has an objection, step forward now.
01:03:41As E.S.B.I.S.B.L.E.
01:04:10You!
01:04:11Do you want to stand up for him?
01:04:25We won.
01:04:26We won one match, and an old fossil of the Fi family fell.
01:04:30But the true mastermind behind the scene has yet to show their face.
01:04:33Mr. Ryan, the Nolan family owes you a massive debt of gratitude for today's battle.
01:04:38From this day on, everyone in the Nolan family will follow your lead.
01:04:42Keep the pleasantries for later. Just give me what I ask for.
01:04:45Very well.
01:05:04There's a gathering tonight.
01:05:05A private party for the younger generation. No old folks allowed.
01:05:09Didn't you want to find out who is backing the Fi family?
01:05:12Information travels fast in places like that.
01:05:15Who organized it?
01:05:16The newly appointed head of the Fi family is sending someone tonight.
01:05:19The competition just ended, and their internal affairs are a mess, so he's desperate to win people over.
01:05:27What time?
01:05:28Eight o'clock tonight. Melania Hotel.
01:05:30Fine. Come pick me up tonight.
01:05:32Dress a bit more presentably.
01:05:33We'll see.
01:05:42Finish this bottle, and I might consider helping with your cousin's matter.
01:05:47Just drink it. It's only one bottle.
01:05:49Once you finish it, Miss Marcella will speak up for her family.
01:05:52I don't know how to drink.
01:05:53Then learn.
01:05:54Once you finish this, I can have my father ease up on your cousin's family debt.
01:06:00I told you to drink.
01:06:02Marcella, she doesn't want to drink.
01:06:03Forcing someone who doesn't drink to chug a whole bottle, does that sound good if word gets out?
01:06:07Brianna, your father is nothing but a school principal.
01:06:10Who are you to put on airs in front of me?
01:06:12You have no business with the affairs of the Stroud family.
01:06:15Brianna, move aside.
01:06:22Giving you face and you throw it back.
01:06:35Drink.
01:06:36Once you're done, I'll let you go.
01:06:44Put it down.
01:06:58Cleansing potion.
01:07:00Apply it.
01:07:05What do you want?
01:07:08You slapped her.
01:07:09So what?
01:07:15You're asking for death!
01:07:25This one pays back your slap.
01:07:28Now, take your brother and get out.
01:07:33You're really something.
01:07:35Lincoln, call our men.
01:07:36Call them right now.
01:07:39The Stroud family keeps a trip with private soldiers in Erethereia.
01:07:41Marcella won't let this slide after suffering such a loss today.
01:07:45If she calls her men, I'll call mine.
01:07:48Millennials, bring everyone.
01:08:00Making such a scene in the corridor of Millennium, do you think there's no one running this place?
01:08:09Millennia has been open for 40 years, and no one has ever dared to trash my place.
01:08:27You are the one who crippled Gideon in the Grand Tournament today.
01:08:32Mr. Tybard, my person did strike first tonight, but there was a reason.
01:08:36There is always a reason.
01:08:38Grace, fighting in my establishment is breaking my rules.
01:08:41When rules are broken, someone must be held responsible.
01:08:45How do you want to settle this?
01:08:47He leaves an arm behind.
01:08:49If so, I won't pursue tonight's matter any further.
01:08:54Mr. Tybion, Mr. Howell belongs to the Nolan family.
01:08:58I will take responsibility on his behalf.
01:09:00You can't afford to.
01:09:07You said you want one of my arms?
01:09:17Mr. Tybion, he beat someone up on your turf!
01:09:20Why are you still being polite to him?
01:09:22Young man, your strength is indeed not weak.
01:09:25But you're still not enough.
01:09:36Sword Intent.
01:09:51A sentient divine weapon?
01:09:53You said earlier that when rules are broken, someone must be held responsible.
01:09:58I agree with that.
01:09:59But who gets held responsible is for me to decide.
01:10:01...
01:10:17...
01:10:28This sword of yours.
01:10:31Where did it come from?
01:10:33None of your business.
01:10:41Young man, you indeed have some capability.
01:10:45But sword instinct is not something that can be propped up merely by a good sword.
01:11:09You said sword intent isn't propped up by a good sword, I agree.
01:11:12That's why with that strike just now, I didn't use the sword's power.
01:11:15Your sword intent has reached the threshold of comprehension, but only the threshold.
01:11:18To go higher, you haven't even touched the edge yet.
01:11:21I lost.
01:11:30Take your brother and leave.
01:11:32If I ever see you touch her again, no one will plead for you next time.
01:11:40Let's go.
01:11:41It's time to head to the Spiritual Pring.
01:11:49After that strike of yours, I doubt Tybid will ever dare block your path again.
01:11:54He didn't block because he realized that continuing the fight would yield no chance of victory.
01:11:58What are your plans next?
01:12:00Go to the Spiritual Pring to strengthen my lineage.
01:12:03Tonight? You just finished two fights. Don't you need to rest and recover?
01:12:06While the momentum is still with me, the matter of the Spiritual Pring has been delayed for days. It's time
01:12:11to go.
01:12:11The path up Back Mountain is rough. Are you sure?
01:12:14You just focus on leading the way.
01:12:16Say that again.
01:12:17Over at the Millennium Hotel, Mr. Tybiel conceded defeat.
01:12:20An entire corridor wall was sliced through.
01:12:23Miss Marcella and Master Lincoln have already left the scene.
01:12:26Even Tybid couldn't stop him!
01:12:28Mr. Tybid did not continue to fight.
01:12:30Before Ryan left, he only said one wise, your sword's eye didn't even touch the edge yet.
01:12:38Done smashing?
01:12:39He crippled Gideon today.
01:12:41And suppressed Tybid at Millennium.
01:12:43If this goes on, the entirety of Etheria will stand on his side.
01:12:46Do you know why the Nolan family could invite him?
01:12:49Because he has what Nolan wants.
01:12:51And Dewitt can offer far more than Nolan.
01:12:53Rebecca Mercer arrives in Etheria tomorrow.
01:12:56The daughter of the set master of the Ninefold Great Sen.
01:12:59I have already prepared a welcoming gift.
01:13:01You will personally pick her up tomorrow.
01:13:03The Ninefold Great Sect?
01:13:05A sect up on Shadowgrass Mountain can crush any family in Etheria with a mere flick of a finger.
01:13:11As long as you connect with this line, a mere Ryan will be nothing.
01:13:16The spiritual spring is behind the waterfall.
01:13:19Have you been here before?
01:13:20A few times.
01:13:21But I didn't go down to the deepest part.
01:13:23The water pressure was too high.
01:13:24I couldn't hold out.
01:13:25The spiritual spring is very deep.
01:13:26And the water pressure gets higher the further down you go.
01:13:28If you can't hold out, come back up.
01:13:30Don't force it.
01:13:31I'm going down to take a look.
01:13:37I'm going down to take a look.
01:14:07Time is running out.
01:14:20You were down there for nearly an hour.
01:14:22The water surface was vibrating the whole time just now.
01:14:24What happened?
01:14:25Nothing.
01:14:27Let's talk after we get up.
01:14:28Okay.
01:14:29Let's head back first.
01:14:35You were down there for a whole hour.
01:14:37The vibration of the water surface lasted for a long time.
01:14:41I thought...
01:14:42It's nothing.
01:14:44Your body temperature is higher than before.
01:14:47What time is it?
01:14:49Almost four in the morning.
01:14:50Before dawn, take me back to Iron Shade Mansion.
01:14:53I need to change my clothes.
01:14:54Where are you going?
01:14:55The fire mansion.
01:14:56I'm going as soon as it's dawn.
01:14:57Leonard already knows the result of the grand competition.
01:15:00Gideon died on the arena.
01:15:01He can't possibly be unprepared.
01:15:02His preparation is his business.
01:15:04My going is mine.
01:15:06I'll drive you there.
01:15:07I'm familiar with the way to the fire mansion.
01:15:10Violet, wait for me.
01:15:19Sister, it's time to eat.
01:15:21Sorry, I forgot to bring you food yesterday.
01:15:23Stop reading.
01:15:24I'm talking to you.
01:15:24Is there something?
01:15:25It's so lively outside.
01:15:27The grand competition just ended.
01:15:28Ancestor Gideon died on the arena.
01:15:29He was sliced down by a single sword strike.
01:15:31The one who cut him down is a young man named Ryan Howell.
01:15:33You shouldn't be a stranger to him, right, sister?
01:15:35Ryan?
01:15:36He will arrive in Etheria this morning.
01:15:38Uncle said he will definitely come to the fire mansion to find you.
01:15:40Ryan is coming?
01:15:40The guards downstairs have been replaced.
01:15:42Uncle said if Ryan tries to force his way in, just break his limbs and drag him out.
01:15:45No, please let Ryan go.
01:15:46I'll do whatever you want.
01:15:47No.
01:15:48I want you to watch him die right before your eyes.
01:15:55Sister, since we were kids, looks, power, even reputation in the outside world,
01:15:59you were better than me at everything.
01:16:01But things are different now.
01:16:05Tony, your father is dead.
01:16:07And my father, Leonard, has become the new ruler of the fire family.
01:16:11Right now, I can make you into whatever shape I want you to be.
01:16:17A mute poison.
01:16:19Once taken, you will never be able to speak again for the rest of your life.
01:16:25I don't want to see any scenes of you and Ryan reuniting after a long separation and pouring
01:16:31your hearts out to each other.
01:16:35So, my apologies.
01:16:38Don't want me to hurt Ryan?
01:16:40What a pity.
01:16:41The eldest young master of the Fae family.
01:16:44Alden is also coming here today, and he has specially prepared a great gift for Ryan.
01:16:49Want to see it?
01:16:50Even if you don't want to, you have to.
01:16:53I want to see your despairing look so much.
01:16:58Let's go, let her see what the oblivion dread bell looks like.
01:17:05There's movement in the mansion.
01:17:07There are at least 30 guards waiting inside.
01:17:10They think this handful of people can stop me?
01:17:15I'm here.
01:17:16I knew you would come.
01:17:17But since you stepped through this door today, don't even think about walking out of here
01:17:21on your feet.
01:17:22Ryan, do you see this?
01:17:23The woman you yearn for can't even speak now.
01:17:25I fed her something good she can forget about ever calling your name again in this lifetime.
01:17:31What did you feed her?
01:17:32A mute poison.
01:17:34Brought down from Shadowhook Mountain, and only I have the antidote.
01:17:37Want it?
01:17:37That depends on whether you have the life to take it.
01:17:41I knew you would come today.
01:17:43Winning against Gideon in the grand competition, suppressing Tybert the Millennium, you think
01:17:46you are invincible?
01:17:47Young man, the waters of Etheria are deeper than you think.
01:17:50How deep can they be?
01:17:52Arrogant!
01:17:52Do you really think you are invincible just because you beat Gideon?
01:17:56I tell you, the fires have survived to this day, never by relying on that single old fogger.
01:18:03Unveil it.
01:18:04Let this young Mr. of the Howley have a hood camline.
01:18:10This bell is named the Oblivion Dreadbell.
01:18:14120 years ago, a powerhouse of the Transcendent Awakener level wanted to wipe out the entire
01:18:19fire family, but was shaken into blood mist by a single strike of this bell.
01:18:24Tell me, can you be stronger than that powerhouse?
01:18:28A single bell is enough to make you think you've won today.
01:18:33Do it.
01:18:45It's your turn, the eight elders of the Fae family.
01:18:53One bell, channeled by eight people.
01:18:55You fells really have no trump cards left?
01:18:57Arrogant!
01:18:58Once you hear the bell toll, you will know the meaning of regret!
01:19:21He blocked it?
01:19:25You said this bell shook a high tier to death 120 years ago?
01:19:28Seems that person's high tier status was highly inflated.
01:19:31Channel the bell with everything you've got.
01:19:33Don't hold back.
01:19:46Interesting.
01:19:47Then I shall get a bit serious too.
01:20:13I love you.
01:20:17Impossible.
01:20:22This bell does have some kick to it, but the people channeling it are pathetic.
01:20:26Arrogant fool! Elders! Keep channeling the bell!
01:20:30Let me teach you how it's done!
01:20:39Stop! Stop it!
01:20:56Don't come any closer!
01:20:57She has been poisoned with a muting toxin.
01:21:00Only we have the antidote.
01:21:01Take one more step, and I will never hand her hand it over as long as I live!
01:21:09You say only you have the antidote.
01:21:16Who fed her the muting toxin?
01:21:23You don't come any closer.
01:21:25I asked you who fed it to her.
01:21:27It was me.
01:21:28But so what?
01:21:29Without the antidote, she can forget about ever speaking again for the rest of her life!
01:21:33Even if you kill me, you won't get her voice back!
01:21:41Drink it.
01:21:47You...
01:21:48What is that?
01:21:49Alchemydical purifying liquid.
01:21:51It cures most non-curse toxins.
01:22:00Ryan.
01:22:02I'm here.
01:22:17Fels will withdraw from Etheria starting today.
01:22:20If I see anyone from Fels in the city within three days, I will return.
01:22:25You destroyed our family's bell and killed our elders.
01:22:29Do you really think you can just walk away so easily?
01:22:37Ryan.
01:22:38Wait for me.
01:22:42You want to stop me?
01:22:43Stop you?
01:22:45I'm going to kill you!
01:22:57You just killed me.
01:22:59Killing you would be too easy.
01:23:01I want you to stay alive and watch with your own eyes as Fels vanishes from Etheria,
01:23:06knowing that everyone will know you were the one who lost her.
01:23:19Leonod.
01:23:21We lost.
01:23:23All sorted?
01:23:25All sorted.
01:23:28All sorted.
01:23:32They wouldn't let me go out.
01:23:33They wouldn't let me write letters.
01:23:37They even barred the windows with iron grids.
01:23:40I know.
01:23:41I was late.
01:23:42Not late.
01:23:43I thought you were dead.
01:23:45Everyone said you were dead.
01:23:47Fels is finished, right?
01:23:49Finished.
01:23:50Gideon is dead, Leonard is crippled, and the rest will leave Etheria within three days.
01:23:54My father died because of me back then.
01:23:57He never agreed to my marriage with the Baron family.
01:23:59Not for a single day.
01:24:01After he died, Leonard took over as head of the family and locked me away.
01:24:05What happened to your father?
01:24:06Leonard said he died of a sudden, severe illness.
01:24:09But the night before he died, I went to his room to bring him medicine.
01:24:13I saw his face was blue and his lips were purple.
01:24:16He was speaking incoherently, repeating the same word over and over.
01:24:20I couldn't hear it clearly.
01:24:21I felt something was terribly wrong.
01:24:22The next morning, he was gone.
01:24:24They wouldn't let me see his body.
01:24:25On the day of the funeral, I wasn't even allowed into the morning house.
01:24:28The first thing Leonard did after taking power was to agree to the marriage with the Baron family.
01:24:32He said it was for the family's future, that the Baron family had backing on Shadowhest Mountain.
01:24:36What exactly is the Barrick family's background?
01:24:38They have a territory on Shadowhest Mountain.
01:24:40Nominally, they are vassal-sought, but in reality, they maintain their own private army.
01:24:43The eldest son of the Deline is named Seamus.
01:24:45He's the one who wants to marry him.
01:24:46There is an ancestor.
01:24:47I heard he hasn't left Shadowhest Mountain for many years, but the entire Barrick family obeys him.
01:24:51Seamus.
01:24:52And the ancestor behind him.
01:24:54I see.
01:24:58Eat something first.
01:24:59You haven't eaten all day.
01:25:00Your stomach won't take it.
01:25:03Someone delivered a letter outside, stamped with the DeWitt family Cree.
01:25:05I didn't open it.
01:25:06It's on the study desk.
01:25:08Ryan, the wedding date with the Baron family is set for the Winter Celst.
01:25:11If I don't go back, they will send people to Athoria.
01:25:13Then don't go back.
01:25:14Let them come.
01:25:16Okay.
01:25:19Please don't ever leave me again, okay?
01:25:22My revenge has been fulfilled.
01:25:24For the rest of my life, I only want to live peacefully and freely.
01:25:27What if the Baron family comes after you again?
01:25:30I don't think they'll make it back alive.
01:25:39Years of hatred have...
