It was impossible to take a blow from the Martial Sovereign.

Just one strike from Alek was enough to injure Otto severely and cause internal damage. The stark difference between their power was indescribable.

At this moment, the crowd finally grasped that the beings beneath the Martial Sovereign were nothing. One could only be on par with a Martial Sovereign by reaching their level. Even if they were just one level below the Martial Sovereign, the Martial Sovereign could easily defeat them by snapping their fingers.

“Mr. Anworth, are you okay?” Theresa’s beautiful eyes trembled. Otto was taught her martial arts and techniques when she was young. She basically learned after Roman and Otto. She knew best what Otto was capable of.

However, seeing Alek injure the second–strongest fighter of the Hall of the Healing Sage with just a strike terrified her.

“Your Highness, I didn’t intend to cause a scene. Otto’s arrogance is the only thing to blame. He overestimated himself and attempted to stop me.” Alek stood with his hands behind him. He spoke casually as though he had just done something trivial. The Martial Sovereign no longer regarded other people as equal to them. He believed he could crush a loser like Otto with just a finger.

“Mr. Alek, are you trying to make enemies with us?” Theresa glared at him. Despite her fear, she couldn’t stand his insult.

“You can see it that way. I’ll repeat it. Roman can find me in Cloudveil if he wants justice.” Alek was fearless. Once he obtained the Silverleaf, he could extract its essence following the medical journals passed down by his ancestors after he returned home. It could inspire his potential and elevate his strength to a higher level.

He had got nothing to fear, even if Roman wanted to seek retribution.

“Does anyone else have a different idea?” He coldly scanned the representatives of the other families. They recoiled at his stare and shook their heads. Nobody dared to object to him.

Otto was stronger than the rest, yet Alek heavily injured him. They knew they would meet a fate worse than his if they voiced their opinion.

“Good, no objections, then. Sterling, go get the Silverleaf.” Alek’s sole presence intimidated the

experts.

Sterling strode toward the garden with a wide grin.

“So, that’s the patriarch of the Peterson family. How authoritative and powerful,” murmured Brittany.

At Alek’s level, he didn’t need to consider others‘ opinions. The representatives of the other families and the elders of the Hall of the Healing Sage could only obey him, not daring to oppose him.

She hoped she could become as powerful as him to make everyone listen to her one day.

She tore her gaze away from Alek and focused on Leander. The young man smiled as he watched the scene unfold without reacting, which confused her. “Is Jeff also afraid of Alek?”

A panicked Frankie stood helplessly at a distance. He initially expected Leander to fight against these people and even defeat some of them. However, Alek’s sudden appearance turned the tide.

Alek had disabled Otto with one move, showing the power no weaker than Leander’s punch at Mount Lurvale. Even if Leander was Alek’s match, he couldn’t stop the seven families or the Hall of the Healing Sage from obtaining the Silverleaf when he was busy fighting Alek.

To stop the others from taking the Silverleaf, Leander must be powerful enough to outmatch Alek. However, Frankie had his doubts.

He turned to look at Leander, who finally acted.

As Sterling walked into the garden, a cold voice stopped him. “The garden belongs to me. Stop right there, or you’ll die.”

Leander’s voice was merely loud enough to make everyone hear him clearly. The

representatives of the six families, who tried to minimize their existence, snapped their heads in his direction and stared at him in disbelief.

Even a moron can see Alek is powerful from his encounter with Otto earlier. How dare he not avoid drawing Alek’s attention and even stop Sterling from obtaining the Silverleaf?

Looking at Leander, Lorcan suppressed a sneer. Alek’s imposing manner had intimidated the Hall of the Healing Sage and the other six families, yet Leander sought death by speaking up.

The others might show Leander mercy, but Alek, a Martial Sovereign, has no qualms about killing the people who opposed him. He couldn’t care less about who he was killing. He kills anyone as he pleases.

Theresa’s brows furrowed. Originally, she expected Leander not to draw Alek’s attention to himself if he remained silent. However, he foolishly spoke up, making it difficult to save him.

Sure enough, the imposing Alek, who put Otto in a near–death experience, immediately turned

to the voice.

As if he didn’t see the murdering look in Alek’s eyes, Leander calmly met the other guy’s gaze. Alek was surprised to find his powerful aura had failed to intimidate Leander.

Before he could speak, Sterling impatiently interjected, “Kid, you had your chance. Do you have a death wish or something?”

After that, he turned to Alek for instructions. Alek locked eyes with Sterling, no longer paying attention to Leander as he ordered, “Kill him.”

Sterling’s eyes were burning with killing intent when he received Alek’s order. Without any hesitation, he marched forward and stomped on the ground. A noise echoed throughout the compound as the earth rolled up, forming a blast that surged toward Leander.

He was confident he could kill Leander on the spot with his mere inner strength.

The seven other families watched the scene apathetically. The martial world followed the law of the jungle. Leander, an ordinary person, could never escape death in the face of a Grandmaster.

Theresa had mixed feelings about Leander. Lastly, she looked away, unable to bring herself to witness Leander’s inescapable death.

She was never a ruthless person. However, Alek was determined to kill Leander. Stopping Alek was no different from making enemies with a Martial Sovereign.

The blast swept at Leander, sending stones and dirt scattered everywhere, but Leander seemed unaffected.

Leander stood rooted to the ground. Despite the strong blast, he was calm and composed, leaving the onlookers in awe and confusion.

“Hmm?” Alek’s eyes narrowed as a bad feeling gnawed at the back of his mind. The next moment, his warning rang out. “Come back here, Sterling!”

However, he was a second too late. Sterling only saw a delicate hand closing in rapidly before it hit his chest.

He immediately coughed up blood. The momentum sent him flying across the compound before crashing at Alek’s feet.

“It’s your fault for overestimating your power as a Grandmaster and attacking me.” Withdrawing his fist, Leander shook his head disdainfully.

It happened too fast. The crowd could barely register Sterling as the person who was injured and sent flying across the courtyard when he had struck first.

Sterling lay lifeless at Alek’s feet. Alek’s eyes narrowed, a sense of horror creeping up on him.
