Standing atop the skyscraper, Caelius stated in the direction Leander had disappeared, unable to recover for a long time.

Just a week ago, a member of the Martial Alliance stationed near Highcrest had indeed sensed the emergence of an Imperial Phase

master.

But due to personal reasons, that member hadn’t come to investigate in time. It wasn’t until strange phenomena erupted over Highcrest that Caelius himself arrived–and ultimately found Leander.

He had planned to visit the Gessinger family after finishing his discussion with Leander, to personally invite Homer to join the Martial Alliance.

But Leander had just told him–Homer was dead. Killed by his own hand.

Could it be… he’s reached the Imperial Phase too?

The thought struck him like lightning.

In the next instant, wind surged beneath his feet. Caelius shot forward like a missile tearing through the sky, chasing in the direction Leander had left.

He crossed over a thousand nautical miles in one breath, constantly trying to track Leander’s presence along the way.

But he found nothing.

Not even a trace.

“That guy is so fast…“”

After the initial shock, Caelius could only smile bitterly.

He had come this time to recruit two powerful allies for the Martial Alliance) In particular, he had considered Leander a successor- someone he intended to entrust the Alliance to in the future.

But now, Leander had taken the token and vanished without a trace.

And the other candidate–Homer–had been killed by Leander.

In an instant, all his plans collapsed into nothing.

Floating above the sea, Caelius frowned again, unease rising in his heart.

“Jeff… how much more chaos are you going to stir up before.

stop?”

After a long silence, he flicked his sleeve and shot off in another direction.

Leander’s battle with Homer in Downtown had only been witnessed firsthand by one King Phase master–High_bon.

Struck down in a single move and filled with resentment, High Ebon had fro intention of spreading the news of Homer’s death and further boosting Leander’s reputation.

As a result, only a handful of people knew the truth.

After that battle, Leander had remained atop the Jeff Enterprises building, focused entirely on refining the True Martial Heavenrend, ignoring everything else.

But during those seven days, the entire elite circle of Highcrest had been reshuffled.

The Dufay family, once ranked first among the Top Ten Families, had fallen completely to the bottom.

Their family head had been killed by Leander. They had relied on the Gessinger family–but with the Gessingers destroyed and scattered, the Dufays knew their time was up.

Other families didn’t know the full story, but they sensed weakness. One by one, they began aggressively attacking Dufay–owned businesses.

The Dufay family had no time to respond.

Stellan, the former family head, stepped back into power and made a decisive move–bringing his only remaining grandson, Edward, to Jeff Enterprises to kneel at the entrance.

“Please pass along a message. My grandson Edward and I request an audience with the chairman of Jeff Enterprises. We will kneel here and wait!”

Stellan the honorary director of Dufay Group, the founder of the family, a recipient of Highcrest’s Medal of Honor–now knelt like the most devout believer at the company gates, drawing countless stares.

As for Edward, he was once proud, unstoppable, and dominant across Highcrest’s elite circles, with only Homer of the Gessinger family able to outmatch him.

Now, even he had no choice but to swallow his pride and kneel on the ground, waiting for a single person inside that building to show mercy and grant them an audience.

He had once believed that even if the Dufays had offended someone they shouldn’t have, they had already paid the price with the lives of his father and younger brother.

As long as they didn’t cross that line again, and with the combined strength of the Wave Alliance and the d’Brien family, they could still secure their place among the Top Ten Families.

So, the very next night after his father Clarence died, he had called Rodrick.

He still remembered it clearly.

“The Dufay family actually offended someone untouchable in Highcrest? Even the Gessinger family couldn’t handle it? I’d like to know–who exactly did you offend?”

Rodrick’s calm tone had given Edward a flicker of hope.

“I don’t know who he is exactly. I just heard his last name is Ashcroft. Supposedly a martial arts expert. Oh—and he seems to have close ties with Jeff Enterprises,” Edward answered carefully, waiting.

But the moment he finished, Rodrick’s voice shot up.

what did you just say?”

Before Edward could roast, Rodick axploded.

“Are you idiots? Of all people, you had to pick him? The person you re talking about is the charman of Jeff Enterprises–Leander

“If you offend him, even ten or a hundred Dufay families wouldn’t matter. You’d all be nothing but ants!

“Even if the entire Wave Alliance got dragged into this, it would just add a few feathers to his weight–he’d still crush us without a second thought!

“You moron! You pissed off that monster and still expect me to help you? Get lost!

“From today on, all cooperation between the Wave Alliance and the Dufay family is terminated. Don’t ever call me again!”

Edward had stood there in a daze.

Just before hanging up, Rodrick added one last thing.

“For old times‘ sake, I’ll give you one piece of advice–take your grandfather and go kneel to beg for forgiveness. Maybe you’ll earn a sliver of survival. Otherwise, your entire family will be wiped out.”

Rodrick’s words echoed endlessly in Edward’s ears.

He couldn’t comprehend it.

Rodrick–the head of the Wave Alliance, a top–tier heir from Highcliffe, a man of immense power and wealth–afraid of someone

like this?

A cold weight settled in Edward’s chest.

If even Rodrick reacted this way, just how terrifying was the person they had offended?

He didn’t dare think further.

He immediately reported everything to Stellan.

And so, for seven consecutive days, the grandfather and grandson had come to kneel outside Jeff Enterprises–arriving at sunrise, leaving at sunset, without fail.

Today was the eighth day.

Leander had successfully refined the True Martial Heavenrend. Afterward, he went straight to the private lounge attached to the top–floor executive office and slept.
