The women lead. But because he’s the strongest, he’s treated like the ’hidden ruler’.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU SUFFERED UNDER THESE BITCHES?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face twisted with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s time to take back our pride! Time to crush these bitches beneath our feet!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The male members, who had stayed silent the entire day, suddenly began cheering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They shouted and raised their weapons, their eyes burning with ugly excitement as they turned toward the female clan members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The women recoiled, shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aveline glared at Agram, fury rising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is the meaning of this?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Agram smirked again, enjoying every second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly what you think. A reconstruction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spread his fingers, tightening the vine around her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This time, I become the real leader of the Avenora Clan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel’s aura burst out instantly, flames cracking the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You bastard!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia stepped forward. \"Master...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Garion lifted his hand calmly, stopping everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been silent until now... then slowly, a small smile curved on his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned toward Arden and whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn’t I tell you earlier?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nodded toward Agram.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The reason will soon appear.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden shivered. \"Master... you’re seriously going to...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion cracked his neck, eyes cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, it delivered itself to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Agram turned toward him, grinning, unaware of what was coming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion grinned back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, time for punishment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1030,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.542Z",1,"novelbin.me","f710ac3f119f6c2ca87b24a28d271f080e526bca2bdefa5cfffd3595264c2054","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-188","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-186",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
