"Your personal issues as the First Pharmacist are none of the Slaughter Squad’s business. However, it seems you have stepped out of line. You stirred up quite a mess in Gael City, and you didn’t take responsibility for it. With so many gathering in that place, don’t tell me you are not aware that it could be your fault."

As Len Hawthorne finished his words, he threw out a yellow card.

Seeing the yellow card, Jasper Montgomery’s expression flickered.

However, he quickly composed himself.

"You’ve got a yellow card from the Slaughter Squad. It’s not unfair, right?"

Jasper Montgomery took the yellow card sternly, taking a deep breath, "On this matter, indeed it was my fault. I did not foresee the control of Gael City."

"You didn’t overlook it, you never even considered it."

Len Hawthorne glanced around at everyone around him with a smirk; not really laughing.

People who were initially outraged at the Slaughter Squad, now, under Len Hawthorne’s gaze, quickly retreated back half a step.

"Don’t think that ancient martial artists can do as they please. Do you know why, several hundred years ago, ancient marial artists suddenly fell into decline during their pinnacle? It’s because of balance. When certain things reach their limit, they return to their origin, even deteriorate."

Everyone was quiet.

What happened hundreds of years ago was merely a rumor.

Exactly what happened, none of them knew for sure.

"Don’t look down on ordinary people. As the number of people practicing ancient martial arts is declining, it becomes more difficult to progress in cultivating ancient martial arts. Relying on some drugs to stimulate progress, it simply doesn’t work."

Len Hawthorne’s words had elevated the topic to the very existence of ancient martial artists.

Everyone’s expressions gradually became serious.

Linda Foster ran over to First Middle School to wait for someone again.

Seeing the Stephens family car parked outside, she watched closely.

As soon as Chloe Stephens came out, she rushed over, "Chloe."

The driver from the Stephens family blocked Linda Foster.

Chloe Stephens opened the car door and got in, without even sparing a glance at Linda Foster.

"Chloe, I’m here to tell you something, nothing else."

The driver got in the car, looking at Linda Foster blocking the way. He hesitated and turned to look back at Chloe Stephens.

Chloe didn’t even lift her head, "Just drive over her."

The driver indeed started the car and drove forward. Linda Foster ultimately didn’t dare to block the car.

As soon as the car started, she was frightened and swiftly dodged to the side.

She didn’t dare shout her intentions out loud.

The onlookers’ stares made her feel embarrassed.

She quickly left First Middle School to go back to her university dormitory.

*

As soon as she was back in her university dormitory, she was hit square in the head by a stainless steel basin.

Linda Foster moaned in pain, holding her head.

"Linda Foster, you’re disgusting. You fooled us into going to the Begonia Chamber for dinner and leaving us there, making us lose face."

"You can’t afford it but you play rich, and even harmed us. You really are something, fooling us around. The so-called cousin of the Stephens family, the Stephens family doesn’t even acknowledge you."

"Get out of our dormitory, hand over the money you owe. Otherwise, this won’t be over."

"Let’s call the police," another girl said coldly.

Hearing this, Linda Foster’s face turned pale "No need for police. Can’t I pay you back? It was you who insisted on going to the Begonia Chamber, what does that have to do with me? You knew I didn’t have money but still ordered expensive food. You ate more than me, shouldn’t you pay for your own portion? I only ate food worth a thousand, the rest, you should bear on your own, right?"

Hearing Linda Foster’s words, the other girls’ faces became flushed with annoyance and embarrassment.

So, they had forced her to go to the Begonia Chamber?

It was obviously Linda Foster posing as a big shot and lying to them.

Without these, would they order too many dishes?

So, all of this was Linda Foster’s fault.

"You think you can get rid of us with a thousand? No way, Linda Foster. If we don’t settle this today, it’s not over," one of the roommates challenged.

"Then I’ll give you another thousand, I only have these two thousand. Take it or leave it. If not, you can call the police and see who loses more face," Linda Foster retorted.

"You..."

The roommates’ faces turned livid.

They didn’t want others to know about this embarrassing matter.

If others in the school found out, how were they supposed to get by afterwards?

"Alright, I’ll accept your two thousand, but don’t regret it."

One person gave Linda Foster a menacing glare, signaling that this matter was far from over.

Afterward, Linda Foster was ostracized by her roommates.

In the county of Gael City.

A Maybach drove in through another entrance.

It stopped opposite the front door of Sky Element Corp, formerly Glamoriz Company.

After coming to Gael City, Yvette Foster had renamed it to Sky Element.

The lady in the Maybach was coldly watching the people coming in and out of the gate.

The person in the passenger seat turned around: "Second Lady, should we lure him out?"

The lady sitting in the backseat lifted her hand, every move she made was incredibly graceful.

This lady was none other than the fifth, Yancy Fisher, who was supposed to be staying in the Imperial Capital.

Her sharp gaze fell on Yvette Foster and Nicholas Lincoln coming out of the gate.

"Send two people to follow them."

The person in the passenger seat immediately sent a message to the car behind.

As Yvette Foster and Nicholas Lincoln left in their car, the car behind followed suit.

Yancy Fisher didn’t seem to be in a hurry, she just found a place to stay.

*

After all, Yvette Foster was no longer the clueless ordinary person she used to be.

She faintly noticed something amiss behind her.

However, since the other party followed without taking action, she couldn’t confirm if they were friends or foes. After finishing her business, she found an excuse to leave alone.

As expected, the other party indeed followed her.

She confirmed that they were targeting her.

Yvette Foster went all the way to her residence, at which point the other party withdrew.

Yancy Fisher’s people returned to the hotel, reporting their findings.

Yancy Fisher, raising an eyebrow, said, "It seems that Yvette Foster’s ancient martial skills are of a lower level, the body modified by medicine can’t compete with those innately able to cultivate."

"So, can we take action now?"

"Contact the people over there, use the same method as before to detach our relationship."

Yancy Fisher felt that there was no need for her to get personally involved.

*

The next day, Yvette Foster did not notice any traces of those people.

Feeling puzzled, she left her company at night, driving towards her villa on her own.

It was already past eleven o’clock at night, the county was not as bustling as the city, and at this point there was hardly any traffic or crowds.

Especially the path she took to get home.

It so happens to pass through some desolate areas.

"Bang!"

The rear of her car was suddenly smashed to pieces.

Yvette Foster reacted quickly, unbuckling and rolling out of the car.

The next second after she hit the ground, her car was torn into shreds by a certain creature.

Seeing this momentum, Yvette Foster was stunned.

What is that!

A dog?

But why is it so massive?

The sudden appearance of the mutated dog, truly startled Yvette Foster.

The mutated dog glared with gleaming red eyes, revealing its saliva-drenched fangs with a smirk.

There was an intense smell of blood everywhere.

And an overwhelming pressure.

This was a mutated dog with cultivation skills, Yvette Foster could feel it.

"Bang!"

It swiped a paw. Yvette Foster lifted both hands to block, but her body was still sent flying backward.
