The moment the name came out of Osmund’s mouth, a sense of familiarity kit Ava. She racked her brain to remember where she had heard it before.
A few moments later, her cry of surprise rang through the compound when she finally remembered. “Isn’t Jeff Ashcroft the Iron Sovereign?”
In recent years, the Watson family had been declining fast.
It had fallen to the bottom of the Top Ten Families of Highcrest. The ambitious families were coveting their position. Still, the Watson family had a strong foundation.
Their family guardian was terrifyingly powerful. He could easily crush stones and split mountains. He was on par with Ignatius and Garin.
It was a secret from the other families in the upper circles. Only the cream of the cream knew about it.
She was his disciple, a real martial artist. She had reached elite Martial Master, only one step away from Martial Sovereign. It was her biggest secret, she kept even from her closest friends.
Over the last two years, her mentor mentioned Jeff more than once. Jeff was the hot topic among the international martial arts world. He always blew the martial artists’ minds with his achievements. She had always hoped to see the invincible man, but never got the chance.
But now, hearing Osmund, who was in the Transcendent Realm, addressing Leander as Jeff made her mind go blank.
It turned out the undefeated hero she had always admired was none other than the Leander she despised. Holding the cup, Leander smiled faintly. “You sound like you know me.”
A question filled his mind. He had never set foot in Highcrest before, let alone met the Gessingers. He wondered how the family guardian knew him.
Osmund’s earlier swagger vanished. Seeing Leander killed his last hope. The primal fear streamed in his body.
Without a second’s hesitation, he clasped his hands and dropped to one knee. “It’s my honor to see you again since Aorinth Peaks, Sovereign Ashcroft. I didn’t expect to meet you today, and I sincerely apologize for my offense.”
Back then, the rumor of a rare relic appearing in Aorinth Peaks stirred up a commotion. The top fighters one could name had rushed there. Being one of the stronger figures in the Transcendent Realm, he joined the treasure hunt, hoping to get lucky and take a share.
Unfortunately, he returned empty-handed and even witnessed a slaughter.
It was all Leander’s doing.

Dozens of the Chief Arbitrators from the Arbitration Office surrounded him, but he wiped them out, painting the land red with their blood. Even Rhaedor, the God of Madness, the top fighter back then, was beaten to a pulp.
From that day on, Leander’s face was imprinted on his mind. He would never dare forget it.
Today, he led the Dufays here to demand an explanation and capture the murderer. He didn’t expect the culprit to
be Leander.
The group behind him traded strange looks.
Earlier, Osmund was motivated to crush the Wood family. But now, he bowed to and flattered an ordinary-looking young man. They had a hard time digesting the change in his attitude.
“You felt sorry, huh?” Leander finished his tea in a gulp and glared at the other man. “Someone demanded a life for a life moments ago. I wonder where he went.” Leander shook his head. The faint smile slipped from his face, replaced by a cold look. “If you know my name, you would’ve heard my style too. I won’t forgive anyone who’s after me easily.”
At that, he raised his right hand, his palm facing Osmund’s group.
“Sovereign Ashcroft, please spare us!” Osmund’s face was twisted by fear.
Leander was unmoved. He clenched his right fist.
With a crack, the air around Osmund and his group distorted. The invisible force continued to compress their bodies until all of them burst into clouds of blood.
The rest were shaken to their cores. Even Richard, a man used to dangerous situations, was trembling. In Leander’s eyes, a transcendent expert was no different from a bug.
As blood poured down like rain, a brilliant flame shot from his palm to vaporize them.
Finally, he withdrew his hand and poured himself another cup of tea, as if it was nothing. Richard clasped his hands behind him. After decades, he finally felt excitement again.
First, Leander killed the Gessinger family’s heir, Garin. Then, its guardian, Osmund. It was basically declaring war against the family.
At this point, Homer must continue to stand against Leander for the sake of the family’s image and reputation. As a result, a battle was unavoidable.
Besides, Leander also killed the head of the Dufay family. It wasn’t only a blow to the Dufay family, but also a reminder to the other noble families.
Rachel’s feet were rooted in place. She stared at Leander’s face, but her mind was blank.
She recalled their first meeting. A lot had happened since that time. It felt like a dream to her.
