His eyes were sharp and calm, the gaze of someone who had lived through decades of martial training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The son was Jareb, a man in his early forties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was tall and broad-shouldered, with thick arms and a face that carried the stubborn confidence of someone who believed strongly in his own strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both men stood quietly in the D’Aurelius estate courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Julian approached, they gave a brief nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, Young Master Julian.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their tone was polite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But distant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their expressions carried the faint pride common among martial artists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julian noticed it immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn’t mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, this was exactly how these characters behaved in those typical feel-good protagonist novels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Experts hired by wealthy villain families were always dissatisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They acted reluctantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During fights they would even say lines like:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have no choice but to work for the young master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m only doing this for money.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they would lose gloriously to the protagonist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julian couldn’t help chuckling internally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah... classic cannon-fodder expert behavior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-----------\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julian crossed his arms casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll be going out later,\" he said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There will be some experts coming to cause me trouble.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Timur’s eyebrows moved slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jareb glanced at his

them first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When the time is right, I’ll gave signal you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then you make your move.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spoke as if everything had already been arranged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the people coming tonight...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Were the Scythe Division.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even these two Iron Realm fighters wouldn’t stand a chance against them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Scythe Division members were all peak Iron Realm experts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even among Iron Realm practitioners, they were considered invincible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anything trained by the Obsidian Wing organization was terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the saying went—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a dog raised by the Obsidian Wing would be the king of dogs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Timur and Jareb exchanged a quick glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint trace of mockery appeared in their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Experts?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ridiculous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of expert could a pampered young master like this even recognize?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone capable of exchanging a few moves with a rich kid like him was probably trash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jareb couldn’t hold himself back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped forward slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Master Julian,\" he said with restrained irritation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We came here because we were told we would deal with experts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it’s just bullying ordinary people...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wouldn’t it be better to let your bodyguards handle it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone remained respectful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the meaning behind his words was clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We didn’t come here to be thugs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As martial artists, their pride wouldn’t allow them to become tools for a spoiled rich kid’s bullying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julian rolled his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These people are experts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waved his hand dismissively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just come with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t waste time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jareb’s face darkened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Experts?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What nonsense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had known this was the kind of job he was being hired for, he would never have agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Timur quietly placed a hand on his son’s shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice was calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jun—Jareb.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Be patient.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The older man’s eyes were thoughtful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s see first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He understood something his son didn’t yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The D’Aurelius Family had spent enormous money to hire them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a powerful household wouldn’t make meaningless arrangements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this really turned out to be humiliation...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would leave immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the vehicles were prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julian had arranged everything himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Timur and Jareb were placed in a relatively low-key sedan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julian, on the other hand—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Climbed into his Lamborghini Veneno.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The engine roared like a beast the moment it started.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jareb stared at the flashy car ahead of them through the windshield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His lips twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dad...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What exactly is going on with the D’Aurelius Family?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone was full of dissatisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They told us we were hired to deal with an expert.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But our first task is following a rich young master around?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To handle experts he can supposedly deal with himself?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He scoffed quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is humiliating.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our family name will be ruined.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their household had once been a respected Old Martial Arts family in Valemont.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though times had changed, they still carried their pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had accepted the D’Aurelius offer because the payment was massive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And because they were told there would be powerful opponents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were escorting a young master on what looked like a petty outing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Timur sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze remained on the Lamborghini driving ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s just follow him this time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice was steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If things are truly as you say...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’ll resign tonight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was quiet dignity in his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A martial artist who had trained for decades would never accept becoming a mere thug.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jareb nodded slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it’s really like this...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The car continued moving through the quiet streets of Valemont.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahead of them—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julian’s Lamborghini cut through the night like a blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And neither father nor son realized...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That they were driving straight toward a battle they could barely
