Homer looked at the second line of bold words on the strip of cloth, then turned to Colden and Osmund, taking in every change in their expressions.
“Do you guys know Jeff?”
For more than a hundred years, he had stayed in the forbidden lands of the western outskirts, hidden within rocky mountain mines, focusing entirely on cultivation. He had never stepped into the mortal world.
It was only recently, when he sensed countless King Phase experts stirring, that he left the mountains and returned to Highcrest. But he knew little about the current international martial arts world, nor was he familiar with the rising talents of this era.
Hearing this, Colden quickly nodded.
“Jeff is said to be the most famous figure in the underground world over the past two years. Since his debut, he’s defeated one master after another. At such a young age, he’s already reached the peak of the martial arts world and has competed with many King Phase experts.
“On international martial forums, people are already comparing him to figures like the Arbitration Office’s Supreme Arbiter and the Lord of Netherweb!”
As he spoke, he went on to list Leander’s achievements one by one-cutting down a supersonic fighter jet with a sword, defeating the Arbitration Office and the Lord of Netherweb, and finally, just a month ago, killing six King Phases alone.
Homer listened silently. His eyes twinkled the more he heard, filled with curiosity and excitement.
“I spent a hundred years in the mountains, seeking only to reach a higher level and find a path beyond the King Phase. Now, I believe that among King Phase experts, fewer than twenty can match me.
“Yet, I never expected that in these past hundred years, such a peerless genius would appear in this world. Excellent!”
With a flick of his hand, the strip of cloth in his palm was instantly shattered into dust.
“Pass down my order. From this day forward, the Gessinger family shall see the Wood family as an enemy. Either the Gessingers or the Woods will rule Highcrest-one cannot coexist with the other!”
“What?” Colden and Osmund were both stunned, their eyes widening in shock.
Colden couldn’t help but say, “The Wood family is backed by Jeff. He may not be as powerful as you, but he’s still a King Phase expert of this era. We could target other wealthy families and avoid the Wood family-why must we go after them specifically?”

To him, making a move against the Wood family meant directly opposing Leander.

Although Homer was the former Imperial Commander and a key figure in the King Phase battles a century ago, possessing immense strength, Leander was also a dominant force, rising rapidly to the top.
If the two were to clash, he had no confidence at all.
“What, you think I don’t have absolute confidence in defeating this rising junior?” Homer seemed to read Colden’s thoughts and let out a faint, amused smile.
Colden didn’t know how to respond.
As he hesitated, Homer suddenly let out a cold chuckle.
With a single grasp of his hand, the sea behind the harbor villa seemed to be struck by a massive hammer. Enormous waves surged upward, rolling and twisting until they formed a towering wall of water that stretched across the horizon, dozens of feet high. It extended nearly a thousand feet over the sea.
If this massive wall of water were to crash down, it would become a devastating tidal wave, swallowing countless buildings and lives.
Such power-casually displayed-felt like a natural disaster descending upon the world, as if he were a god or a demon.
“Even among King Phase experts, there are differences in strength. Those below nine-star King Phase masters mean nothing at all!”
With a single sentence, Homer completely silenced Colden and Osmund. After a brief pause, both of them bowed deeply.
“As you wish.”
That same day, Leander, dressed in casual clothes, sat in the cafeteria of Highcrest University, eating. Around him, many beautifully dressed female students cast curious glances at this refined young man wearing glasses.
At that moment, a faint fragrance drifted over. Leander slightly raised his head and saw Rachel, the campus belle of Ember University and the future Miss Highcrest winner, standing beside him, holding two bottles of drinks in her hands.
“I knew you’d be here!” Rachel gave a sweet smile and simply sat down across from Leander.
“Do you need something from me?” Leander took a calm sip of his stew, his expression unchanged. He had no idea that the surrounding students were all looking at him with envy and jealousy.
“Here, I bought you a drink!” She pushed a bottle of iced tea toward him, her eyes filled with expectation.
“It’s fine.” He refused without hesitation. “I have stew.”
He had no intention of accepting her kindness.

Rachet frowned slightly. Then, under the shocked and stunned gazes of everyone in the cafeteria, she picked up the bowl of stew in front of Leander and drank it all in one go, completely unconcerned that he had just been drinking from it moments earlier.
“There, it’s gone now. You can drink what i brought, right?”
She set the bowl down and looked at Leander stubbornly.
Leander pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling helpless. He could only let out a sigh. “What are you doing, Ms. Haley?”
“Ms. Haley? Can’t you just call me Rachel? Aren’t we friends?”
A trace of disappointment flashed across her face as she spoke, her tone tinged with sadness.
“Rachel? I don’t think we’re that close, Ms. Haley. We’re mutuals because we both know Billy, but we aren’t exactly friends, are we?”
Leander added indifferently, “Besides, I’m just a poor student from Astria, living off part-time work and scholarships. You, on the other hand, are a future Miss Highcrest champion and the campus beauty of Ember University.
“No matter how you look at it, we’re too different to be friends. Don’t you see how the guys around us look like they want to kill me? All I want is to study quietly and work. Your attention is already causing me a lot of trouble!”
“Trouble?”
Rachel bit her lip, her face full of grievance. “I’m a girl, and you’re a grown man. I’m not even afraid of what others think, so what are you afraid of? I just like hanging out with you. What’s wrong with that?”
Leander shook his head and put down his utensils.
“Ms. Haley, with your status and reputation, you should be looking for someone like Billy-a wealthy young heir who can give you happiness and a life of luxury. Look at me. I make around 3,000 bucks at a bar.
“My pay was docked this month, so I only have around half left. I live frugally and eat cheap meals in the cafeteria every day.
“Do you really think there’s any point in hanging out with me?”
Although Rachel’s eyes were glistening with tears, her expression remained firm and stubborn.
“Who said I have to marry into a wealthy family? What I want is love-something I truly like and cherish. The person I like is you. It has nothing to do with your status or your background!
“I’d be happy eating simple food with you. But if I were with someone else, even if I had luxury cars and yachts every day, I wouldn’t be happy! Let me make this clear, Leander. I really, really like you!”
After saying this, her pretty face turned red, but she still bravely met Leander’s eyes, completely ignoring the fact
