Leander returned to Villa No. 1 of Rivergate Haven. After finalizing his university plans, he felt he had fulfilled his promise to Daphne. Although he was not at the top of his class, he had become a student at Highcliffe University. Next September, he would meet Daphne again at the university.

She was the girl he could never forget.

After resting on the couch for half an hour, he planned to drive to Tardide Valley when his phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Frankie.

“What is it?” Leander answered the call with a furrowed brow.

At that moment, Frankie was mobilizing personnel in Tardide Valley, busy with the production of the “Phoenix Essence Pill.” A sudden call at this time meant trouble.

“Mr. Leander, something has happened in Tardide Valley!”

“Tardide Valley?”

Leander’s expression hardened.

Inside Tardide Valley, he had cultivated Silverleaf with great effort. This was crucial to his business empire’s ability to dominate the world, and he could not afford any mistakes.

Anyone who dared to covet it was undoubtedly his enemy and would be ruthlessly dealt with.

After Frankie explained the situation, Leander hung up, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

“Clans of the ancient martial arts want to seize my Silverleaf? They have some nerve!”

A few minutes later, a blue BMW sped out of the villa, heading straight for Tardide Valley.

At that moment, several outsiders stood in Tardide Valley, while many locals watched from a distance, too afraid to approach.

Among the outsiders, there were eight exceptional individuals. Each of them had a solid presence and wore traditional robes, exuding an air of superiority. Their every gesture conveyed authority, as if they were ready to dictate the fate of nations.

“Everyone, it is pointless for us to linger here. Since we all want the Silverleaf plants, let us equally divide them. No one will be at a loss, how does that sound?”

A middle–aged man in traditional attire stepped forward, glancing at the tense group, and spoke with a faint smile.

His name was Heath Dixon, the second strongest of the Dixon family, one of the Great Seven Martial Clans of Cloudveil. He was also known as the smiling devil and a peacemaker in the martial arts community.

“Equally dividing it?”

Among the eight, the eldest man in a black robe let out a cold snort, his internal energy causing the snort to echo throughout the valley.

“These Silverleaf plants are of great use to the Hall of the Healing Sage. My master intends to use them to refine a Qi Fortifier Pill to help the Hall’s princess advance to the Martial Sovereign realm!

“However, we do not know how much Silverleaf will be consumed during the refining process. Are you suggesting we divide it equally? If the Hall of the Healing Sage runs out of Silverleaf, who do we turn to?

“Enough with the nonsense. We have already claimed these Silverleaf plants for the Hall of the Healing Sage. Since we are all martial practitioners, let us speak with our strength. Let us settle this right now!”

The old man, clearly irritable, rolled up his sleeves and stood at the center, ready to fight at any

moment.

The others did not move, their eyes reflecting apprehension. Although the old man was the oldest among them, he had a greater reputation and seemed to possess slightly greater strength. If a fight broke out, unless all seven parties joined forces, no one had confidence in a one–on–one duel.

At that moment, a slender middle–aged man stepped forward and saluted in greeting. “Mr. Anworth, I know you are exceptionally skilled. If it comes to blows, we are indeed no match for you!

“Still, these Silverleaf plants are rare treasures that are vital for our families. I have already contacted my clan leader, who insisted that I secure a big enough share!

“If you are truly intent on fighting, it will only harm the relationship between the Peterson family of Cloudveil and the Hall of the Healing Sage. I believe the master of the Hall would not want to see that, would he?

“Moreover, if it comes to fighting, the Great Seven Martial Clans of Cloudveil will not back down!”

The man speaking was named Sterling Peterson, the spokesperson for the Peterson family, one of the Great Seven Martial Clans of Cloudveil.

Hearing this, Otto Anworth turned with a sneer.

“Sterling, the Great Seven Martial Clans of Cloudveil have always been at odds, engaging in open and covert conflicts. This is well known. If you think you can negotiate with me here, you have picked the wrong person!

“Come back and talk to us when your seven clans have truly stopped fighting amongst themselves and start being united against external threats!”

Sterling’s expression darkened, revealing his frustration. The Great Seven Martial Clans of Cloudveil had been established for over a hundred years since the last royal family’s

deposition. However, although the seven clans shared the same territory, they had never ceased their internal strife.

Otto’s words rang true.

The representatives of the other five clans in the Great Seven Martial Clans of Cloudveil had yet to speak, but their stances were clear. No one was willing to compromise on the Silverleaf plants.

The Great Seven Martial Clans of Cloudveil were known for their medicinal knowledge, and they had records of the legendary Silverleaf. Yet none of them had encountered one until now.

They never expected to see large fields of Silverleaf plants in Tardide Valley.

Such a rare treasure was irresistible. Especially since Silverleaf could enhance physical strength and accelerate Qi training, it was incredibly attractive to martial practitioners. Who would want to pass up such an opportunity?

Whoever obtained the Silverleaf plants would be able to cultivate stronger new talents within their families, significantly elevating their strength. This was the unparalleled value of Silverleaf.

While the discussion and arguments continued among them regarding the distribution of Silverleaf, they completely ignored Frankie, who had previously clashed with them.

Despite being a major player in Ravenridge, Frankie was utterly insignificant in their

eyes.

As descendants of powerful martial arts family families, someone like Frankie was as easily crushed as an ant in their eyes.

Frankie, accompanied by a group of black–clad bodyguards, kept the researchers at a distance. Among them, dozens of bodyguards had already been injured, clearly at the hands of the Hall of the Healing Sage and the seven clans. However, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and wait for Leander’s arrival.

These individuals were exceptionally strong practitioners of ancient martial arts, and the

bodyguards he hired could not compete with them.

“Brittany, they are trying to take Leander’s Silverleaf. I have to stop them!”

Among the locals, Sierra’s face was filled with anger as she watched the internal martial practitioners act like thieves, her cheeks flushed with indignation.

Ever since Leander had killed the Shadow and saved Tardide Valley, she had instantly become a fan of Leander, practically worshipping him as a god and constantly going on about him.

She knew how important these Silverleaf plants were to Leander. Now, having to watch these people treat the plants as if the plants belonged to them was unbearable.

Brittany pulled her back and silently gestured for her to stay calm.

“Sierra, these people are martial arts experts from the Hall of the Healing Sage and the Great Seven Martial Clans of Cloudveil. Each family has a Martial Sovereign overseeing them. We cannot interfere with this matter. We must wait for ‘him‘ to handle it.”

Brittany spoke in an intentionally lowered voice. To her, each of these individuals was incredibly strong and came from formidable backgrounds. Even someone as powerful as Leander would likely think twice when facing these eight forces.

After all, they represented eight Martial Sovereigns.

Though Brittany’s voice was soft, there were enough experts present that someone heard her.

Sterling, the spokesperson for the Peterson family, suddenly turned to Brittany and looked her in the eye.

“Young lady, your skills are impressive for someone so young. You must be a disciple of The Demise, correct?

“This man, Leander, you mentioned earlier is the owner of these Silverleaf plants?”

Realizing she had been noticed by Sterling, Brittany felt a jolt of fear, awed by the prowess of these elite families.

She was about to respond when Sierra shouted out.

“Yes, Leander is the owner of these plants! You want to steal his stuff, but when he arrives, he will punish you for this! Just wait. When he comes, he will take you all down! He also goes by another name, Jeff…”

Just as she was about to reveal Leander’s identity, Brittany shot her a warning glance.

Meanwhile, the expressions of everyone from the Hall of the Healing Sage and the Great Seven
