No.1 Supreme Warrior by Moneto

Chapter 1251-1300

Chapter 1251 “Hey, it’s nothing. jackie saved my life; he is like a brother to me now. We’re good buddies! Just take it asa reward for jackie’s deed. Don’t take it to heart!”

Daniella chuckled while explaining, and put her hand on jackie’s shoulder, with a wide grin on her face,as though they were brothers from the battlefield.

“You’re referring to Bone Marrow Cleansing Water, right? This water is terrifically exorbitant! Although thepeople of the Cabello family started training young and don’t really need this water, that precious pool ofthe Cabello family couldn’t produce that much water in a year for us, right? Moreover, this kind of water issuitable for any martial practitioner too; whoever takes it will greatly improve their martial level!”

Nash was surprised at Daniella’s offer to give them some of the water. With his eyebrows snappedtogether, he continued, “The Cabello family must have kept such a treasure very securely, and onlyreward those who have made significant contributions. Besides, the pool could only produce five to sixportions per year, right? I’m afraid that your Father wouldn’t approve of this idea so easily. Even worse, ifhe were to find out that you planned to give such treasure to us, he’d definitely say no.”

“Heh! If he doesn’t agree to it, I’ll just have to get it without him knowing. And by the time he finds out, it’dbe too late. Anyway, if I don’t mention that it’s for the White family, how would he know then?” Daniellaspewed out the words gently and nonchalantly.

“Miss Cabello, you’re being too generous to us! I don’t even know how to repay you!”

Joan chimed in; her tone uneasy.

“Hehe, Auntie, jackie and I are good buddies, and you’re his mother, that makes you my mother too! Sodon’t mull over it anymore! It’s nothing at all!”

Daniella patted her chest and reassured Joan.

jackie—who stood aside—witnessed the whole exchange and felt speechless. What did she mean whenshe said his mother was her mother? Did she not fear what others might think of this sentence?

“I see, I see. That’s good then!”

Joan was taken aback by Daniella’s response as well. She returned Daniella an awkward smile and thenwent silent.

“Right, jackie, since the Third Young Mistress Cabello is here, please take her around when you’re free!She’s your responsibility now!”

Nash then smiled faintly at jackie and ordered.

“Don’t worry, Father. I’ll arrange a place for her to rest!”

jackie gave a bitter smile in return.

“Hey, there should still be empty rooms in your residence, right? You don’t have to arrange a separateresidence for me, just vacate a room for me in your residence. It’d be more convenient for me to find youthis way, right?”

Daniella smiled sheepishly and proposed to jackie.

“Oh, okay, alright!”

jackie was rendered speechless but he could only agree with an awkward smile.

Only then a contented smile appeared on Daniella’s pretty features. She then turned to Nash and said,“Master White, the competition is about to start, and I guess you guys will leave in another five to six

days, right? I think the Cabello family will definitely participate as well, so I think I’ll stay here for a fewdays and depart with you guys then. You wouldn’t mind that, right?”

“Mmm, don’t worry. I don’t mind it at all!”

Daniella Cabello was the apple of her father’s eye, and since she has developed a good relationship withjackie, it would be a good opportunity to ease the tension between the two families.

After all, the current White family had experienced a great loss in their power after the Third Elder andLily incident. The White family could not afford to have another huge clash with another great powerfulfamily right now.

Chapter 1252 “Hehe, thank you so much! I’ll go check out the place first!”

Daniella chortled happily as though she was a kid who got praises from her parents.

“Go ahead then. jackie, take Miss Cabello back to rest first, you guys must be tired from all the rushing toget back here!”

Nash nodded in satisfaction and instructed his son.

jackie then handed Kylie over to Joan and left with Daniella.

After the silhouette of the two disappeared from the group’s sight, Joan laughed and commented, “MissCabello seems to be a generous and benevolent person. She had already given us these spirited grassas a reward for jackie’s rescue. But she went the extra mile and promised to get us the Cabello’streasure! This lady is truly a warm-hearted person!”

Nonetheless, Nash thought otherwise. “Why do I feel like there’s something more than friendshipbetween jackie and Miss Cabello? It’s not as simple as good buddies. After all, the Bone Marrow

Cleansing Water is not an ordinary treasure, and she is actually willing to steal it for us, moreover, threeportions! Such an act has obviously gone beyond any kind of friendship, don’t you think?” he explainedwith a bitter smile on his face.

Joan rolled her eyes at Nash. “You must be overthinking. Miss Cabello is a few years younger thanjackie. Moreover, jackie is already married and has Kylie! Miss Cabello certainly does not like jackie in aromantic way!” She huffed.

Joan paused for a moment before continuing, “After all, jackie saved her life from the brigands, and thatact itself is more valuable than the precious water! If she wanted to repay jackie in such a way, it’sreasonable!”

“Maybe I am overthinking!”

Nash said with the corners of his mouth curled up.

Fiona, who was standing aside, had her eyes lit up brightly. “Master White, I heard that the Cabello familyis much more powerful than the White family. They are ranked in the top three of the eight shadowfamilies, right? So, if jackie could really get together with Miss Cabello, that’d be a great thing, isn’t it?And that will be a so-called strong union, am I right?”

“Well, it’s true that it’d be a great thing.” Nash smiled awkwardly at Fiona’s response. “But it’s highlyunlikely for it to happen because we are not on good terms with the Cabello family. It’s considered ablessing for jackie to have a good relationship with Miss Cabello and ease the tension between the twofamilies. But if you want Miss Cabello to marry jackie, it’s almost impossible. The Cabello family will notagree to it!”

Nash halted for a few seconds before continuing, “What’s more, Miss Cabello is young and there areplenty of powerful, wealthy, and talented young masters falling head over heels for her. Miss Cabellowouldn’t choose a married man— jackie and be his second wife!”

There was one elder in the crowd who stepped up at this time and reminded everyone, “We shouldn’tdiscuss this matter openly. We are merely relying on our own imagination and discussing excitedly, butwhat if Miss Cabello overheard us? She might not feel happy as she only sees jackie as a friend. If wetalk about things like that without a basis and make her unhappy, that’d cause a problem!”

At this time, jackie and Daniella were pacing toward jackie’s residence. Along the way, he recounted theincident about the Third Elder, Lance, and Lily to fill Daniella in.

Daniella sighed loudly after listening to the story. “So you’re the illegitimate son of Master White. But youmanaged to reach the true god realm by yourself in the secular world! That’s amazing! Although Lanceand I, our talents are not on the top of the list among the younger generation, we’re considered astalented masters too! I didn’t expect that my talent is nothing in front of you. Hehe!”

jackie chortled embarrassingly. “Nah, that’s not true. Your talent is excellent as well! After all, you’re a fewyears younger than me!”

The two of them were so engaged in their conversation that they did not realize that they had arrived atjackie’s residence.

Inside the residence, Elaine, Selena, Ben, and some others are chatting happily in the courtyard.

“Dear, you’re back! I didn’t expect you to be back so soon! I thought you might need a few more days!”

Selena shot up from the chair when she saw jackie and Daniella push the gate open and walked in.Selena’s mood lightened and a broad wide smile hung on her face.

“Master!”

Chapter 1253 Ethan and Sam were flabbergasted with joy as well when they saw that their Master had returned. Thecorners of their mouth curled upward, showing their pearly white and even teeth.

“Brother-in-law, why did you bring a beautiful woman back with you? Tsk tsk, she is really good-looking!Don’t tell me, you went out for a trip and came back with a little wife?”

Elaine noticed the presence of Daniella beside jackie and teased the two jokingly.

Nevertheless, jackie’s face immediately sank to the bottom. “What nonsense are you spewing about?This is the Third Young Mistress of the Cabello family! It just so happened that I rescued her from agroup of brigands during my journey. So, she decided to follow me to visit the White family and departwith us in a few days for the tournament. The Cabello family will attend the tournament too!”

“Hehe! Look at you, why are you all nervous? I’m just kidding. She’s truly good-looking and attractive!”Elaine chuckled at jackie’s big response and said.

“This beautiful Miss is your wife?”

Daniella took two steps forward and studied Selena from head to toe, carefully.

She could feel that Selena, other than being good-looking and beautiful, was more mature than she was.Selena emitted a feminine sensation that she did not possess.

However, it was really hard to tell who was prettier and more good-looking between Selena and Daniella.Each of them had their own attractive points!

“Yes, and her name is Selena!”

jackie smiled on the surface, but in fact, he was sweating in worries inside his heart. He was afraid thatSelena might have noticed something.

jackie was actually in a complete state of panic, as though he was sitting on pins and needles. He waskicking himself inside at the thought of that particular night. If he had not drunk the monkey wine, hewould not get drunk; and he would not have done such a thing with Daniella!

He had violated a girl and took away her first time. If he pretended as if nothing happened and chose notto be responsible, that would be a d*ck move and he would be restless for the rest of his life, thinkingthat he had violated a young girl.

“Hello Sis Selena, my name is Daniella Cabello and I’m the Third Young Mistress of the Cabello family!You can call me Daniella!”

Daniella approached Selena and extended her hand graciously to shake Selena’s hand.

Selena returned her with a faint smile and then extended her hand to hold Daniella’s. “Nice to meet you,Daniella. My husband is a kind-hearted man. If he encounters an unjust incident, he will step up andintervene! It’s fate that we can get to know each other. From now on, we’re good friends!”

“Mm!”

Daniella bobbed her head happily.

After that, jackie introduced others to Daniella, and then he arranged a room for her to rest.

“Master, we haven’t seen each other for so long, shouldn’t we get together and have a few drinks?”

Joseph walked over and said to jackie, smilingly.

“Hehe, that’s a great idea! It just so happens that Kylie wants to visit the town at the bottom of themountain, and Miss Cabello has never been there either. How about this, let’s go to the town togethertonight to eat and drink? We can also stroll around the night market there!”

jackie chortled brightly and agreed.

Chapter 1254 Soon, the evening came. jackie took everyone to the town for a hearty meal and good night’s stroll.

The town was prosperous and well-developed; they even had a school in the town. jackie planned to letKylie train in the White residence, and she could attend the school in the town to learn too. The plansounded perfect.

The teachers in the school taught according to a fixed syllabus and were keen to pass down theknowledge of the outside world to the kids.

For example, the students were taught to recognize first or second-grade spirited grass, and basicknowledge of martial training, as well as characteristics of some demonic creatures in the wild.

After all, the kids who attended the school were generally from martial families, and when they are older,they would eventually train and practice as martial artists.

The group returned to the White residence in the late evening. jackie was exhausted from being busy theentire day that he laid down and fell asleep in no time.

The next morning, jackie woke up and asked Selena, “Dear, how’s your martial training lately? I’ve beenaway for quite some time, and you only had to pick up Kylie from school, so it shouldn’t take much time.”

A cute smile formed on Selena’s face, “Well, I didn’t really have much time to train this time. After all, Ihad to accompany Mother and Father for walks to get familiar with the place. And I also had to spendtime with Kylie, so I didn’t have much time to train and there’s no obvious improvement in my martialstatus. But, I would say my progress is not that bad at all. The morning before yesterday, I barely brokethrough to reach the first-grade of grandmaster level!”

jackie was suffused with happiness that his eyes lit up upon hearing Selena’s progress in martial training.“Wow, that’s amazing! You’re already at the grandmaster level! You have such talent, and such skills areconsidered excellent!”

“Thanks to you, Dear! I wouldn’t have achieved this if it weren’t for the Chi Congregation pill and spiritedgrass that you gave me. With the help of those miraculous resources, I can train and improve a lotfaster!” A cute, bashful smile crawled onto Selena’s face as she spoke.

jackie bobbed his head to show agreement. “I’ll be leaving in a few days. Although I can’t really train onthe road, I’ll make time at night to train. I can confidently say that I have already stabilized myself at theearly stage of the true god realm. So, during the trip, I’ll see if I could use some of the pills and spiritedmaterial to try to break through to the middle stage of the true god realm!”

“Middle stage of the true god realm?”

An envious look plastered on Selena’s pretty feature when she heard jackie. “I’m so envious of you, forbeing able to break through to the middle stage of the true god realm. Your talent and combat prowessare extraordinary; if you really reach the middle stage of the true god realm, you can even fight againstthose who are at the late stage of the true god realm, right?”

jackie, however, felt a little guilty. He wrapped his arms around Selena’s waist and said, “Sigh! It’s justthat I’ll be busy training these days, so I’m afraid that I won’t have time to accompany you and Kylie.”jackie sighed. “Also, you have to inform your parents as well.” He added.

Selena shot jackie an attentive look. “Don’t worry about it. I told them a few days ago. My parents areunderstanding; they know that martial practitioners often require ample amounts of time to train andpractice. And they’re okay with it. It won’t affect us!”

jackie stared at the beauty in his embrace. He could not help but plant a tender kiss on Selena’s rosy,pink lips. “Dear, I have to follow them to attend the martial tournament in a few days. Please stay backwith Kylie and enroll her into the school in town, meanwhile, please continue to train hard too. Thankyou, dear!”

It was rare to experience a gentle jackie. Selena’s cheeks immediately blushed and she felt a surge ofsweetness and happiness. “You’re welcome! We’re a family. You don’t have to say ‘please’ at all.”

“Oh, I just thought that I didn’t get to spend much time with you lately. So I felt a little guilty!”

jackie laughed off as he explained.

Chapter 1255 “It’s nothing. Martial practitioners always had to train in isolation for months. It can’t be helped, right?”

Selena smiled in return. “Alright, train well, dear. I’ll stop bothering you now. Hehe!”

Selena soon left the adobe. jackie then flipped his palm and took out three pills—all three pills were first-grade intermediate training pills!

jackie smiled as he looked at the three pills in front of him. These three pills could help him break throughto the middle stage of the true god realm. After all, he was not too far away from the middle stage now.

jackie then put one of the pills into his mouth and swallowed them. Thick and inexhaustible energy thendispersed from jackie’s abdomen in an instant. The energy was immense, at the same time aggressive.

A gentle smile formed on jackie’s face when he felt the energy within him. He closed his eyes and startedto control the energy in his body, channeling chi energy and gathering it in his abdomen. The chi energyformed a whirl in his abdomen, as though there was a tiny tornado in his body. The small whirl had slowlybecome bigger and bigger; jackie’s overall strength and power had increased as well.

The time passed by slowly, and soon the spirited energy inside the pills was fully absorbed by jackie, andthe chi energy inside jackie obviously became stronger and more powerful than before!

He smiled faintly and threw the second pill into his mouth and swallowed. He repeated the trainingtechnique, absorbing the chi energy inside the pill.

It took almost two days for jackie to train and absorb all the energy from the three pills. Fortunately, hismartial level had also broken through to the middle stage of the true god realm.

jackie steadily stood up, clenched his fists and his bone joints emitted a clear clicking sound. Therobustness and strength of his body had obviously advanced a lot, and the inner power in his body wasdoubled or even tripled after the training; the mellowness of his chi energy had become richer and thickertwo or three times than before.

“Hahaha! It feels really different to be in the middle stage of the true god realm. The feeling is too good,and my combat power is a lot greater than before!”

jackie smiled with satisfaction, and then he walked out of the room.

Selena—who was playing with Kylie outside the house—was surprised at the appearance of jackie atthis time. “No way! How did you complete your training this quick? Have you succeeded yet? I’ve heardthat it’s not that easy to reach the middle stage of the true god realm! And for some people who failed tobreak through, they’d have to rest for a while before they can continue to try again! And if you’reunfortunate, you might even be physically wounded!”

A ray of warm light surged in jackie’s heart when he saw Selena’s concerned look. “Don’t worry, dear.I’ve broken through to the middle stage of the true god realm!” He smiled and comforted.

“Wow! Wow! Daddy is definitely more powerful than before now!”

Kylie jumped for joy that her feet barely touched the ground.

“Hehe, my little Kylie, when you get a little bit older, you can start training, and in the future, you’ve tostrive to be more powerful than daddy, okay?”

jackie picked up his daughter from the ground and gently pinched the little girl’s cute nose. His eyes werefull of warm fatherly love.

Chapter 1256 “Middle stage of the true god realm?”

Daniella, who had just walked out of her room, overheard the conversation between the couple. She wasshocked at what she heard and then exclaimed with joy, “You’re truly talented! Your speed in training andabsorbing the energy from the pills were too fast! Others might need at least a week or longer to breakthrough to the middle stage of the true god realm! But you actually used only two days and succeeded!”

At this moment, the admiration toward jackie grew deeper and deeper within Daniella. She was evenfantasizing that if she had the chance to introduce jackie as her boyfriend to her father, what would herfather think?

“Oh, I’m just slightly luckier!”

jackie laughed it out and said modestly.

“That’s awesome! That’s truly awesome! With your current martial level and combat prowess, you mightbe able to win first place in the upcoming martial tournament! You can finally bring glory to the Whitefamily!”

Daniella looked at jackie, her eyes full of unexplainable beams. “Even if you can’t get the first place,surely you’ll be placed in the top three!”

“Top three?”

jackie was slightly stunned at her words. “It seems like the White family didn’t have good raking in thistournament in the past!”

After all, before he returned to the White family, Lance White—who was at the peak of the demi-godrealm—was considered the first seed in the White family. And now, since jackie had already hit themiddle stage of the true god realm, he thought that taking the first place would not be a problem.

He did not expect that Daniella saw him as the top three but not the champion.

Daniella smiled and she explained, “The White family had always bottomed the list in the pasttournaments. Although the White family was not the worst in the tournament, your family has justbecome one of the eight shadow families not long ago, so the White family is definitely the last in theeight shadow families!”

jackie bobbed his head. Indeed, the White family had only become one of the first-class eight shadowfamilies recently. Although the White family was more powerful and stronger than those second-classand third-class families, the gap between the White and the other seven shadow families was still wide.

Daniella approached jackie and patted his shoulder gently. “You’re not bad at all. Think about it, theCabello family and the other shadow families, we’ve been first-class families for decades and some ofthem even have hundreds of years of heritage. And your family has just risen lately, it’s not possible tocompare with us.” She comforted him.

Daniella was afraid that her words might have hurt jackie’s confidence, hence she smiled and said, “Butyour martial level and combat prowess is considered high and strong. You’ll certainly impress many first-class shadow families this time around!”

“Oh, I’m not trying to impress, but I’ll try my very best!”

“Oh, jackie, Father asked me to tell you that there are three days left before we leave, so you shouldprepare yourself.”

Selena quickly thought of something and interrupted the conversation.

“Alright, I’ll rest for these few days and try to maintain and stabilize my martial level, so that I can getused to the power!”

jackie nodded.

During the conversation, Selena noticed the bright and shining beam in Daniella’s eyes when she waslooking at jackie. She did not show the same when she was engaging with the others, only with jackie.And the beam emitted something attentive—it was full of love and affection.

Selena’s brows snapped together as she thought of it. “Daniella, I won’t be going this time. Please helpto take care of jackie, will you? I entrust him to your care!” Selena said to Daniella after thinking for amoment.

Chapter 1257 Daniella did not expect such words would come out of Selena’s mouth out of sudden. She stood frozenfor a moment before peeking at jackie. “Don’t worry. jackie and I are good friends, we’ll definitely takecare of each other! I’ll also ask my sister to go a little easy on jackie during the tournament!” Daniellanodded.

“Is your sister very powerful?”

jackie frowned upon hearing it. According to Daniella’s words and tone, it seemed that her sister was astrong martial practitioner; her martial level should be high.

“For this tournament, as long as you’re from the martial families and you’re below the age of thirty, you’reeligible to participate. I’m still young, so it’s normal for me to have a low martial level.”

Daniella smiled softly before saying, “But, my second sister, she’s at the early stage of the true godrealm, and my elder sister, she is at the middle stage of the true god realm. Although she is similar toyou, at the middle stage, she is only one step away from the late stage of the true god realm. She mightbreak through to the late stage at any time. And her combat prowess and martial ability are among thetop of those in the middle stage of the true god realm!”

Daniella shrugged as she spoke. “Hmmm. I’ll say more about my second sister, but my elder sister, sheis too strong for you. It’s nearly impossible for you to defeat her.” She added.

“I see. Thanks for the reminder. But I don’t think your sisters will listen to you and go easy on me.”

jackie gave a dry smile. Although the Lagorio family had not been finding fault with them lately, the affairthat happened between the Lagorio family and the White family had seemed to spread out.

Therefore, this time round in the tournament, he felt that the Lagorio family and some of the forces wouldmost likely target them. He was not confident to say that there would not be any issue during thetournament.

Especially, those forces and families—who were about the same level with the White family before theWhite became one of the eight families—would certainly be jealous of the White family. They could notwait to pull the White family down from the first-class shadow families!

“Huh? Nah. My elder sister and second sister love me the most. If I talk to them personally, it shouldn’tbe a problem!”

Daniella pursed her rosy pink lips and said, “Sigh! I have to work hard too and strive to break through tothe early stage of the true god realm. I can’t always use my young age as an excuse to be lazy!” Shesighed.

“Cough, cough! Looking at you, I guess you have been loafing on the job.”

jackie teased Daniella after hearing what she said. The young girl before him sometimes emitted ayouthful and cuteness in her words and behaviors that made jackie feel something different in him.

“Hehe! Yup, but just a little! Well. Sometimes, training is kind of boring!”

Daniella giggled.

Time flies by quickly and soon three days had passed.

During these three days, Daniella would come over to talk to jackie and Selena whenever she was freeand would even purposely please Selena by telling her some insights about martial training andtechnique.

Finally, after three days, the day had come. Together with Nash and jackie, there were many Elders ofthe White family, as well as some other White family members. They set off in the morning.

“Sigh! If the Third Elder hadn’t thought about mutiny and had broken through to the peak of the true godrealm, we would now have two strong people at the peak of the true god realm. And we can finally holdour heads up high in this tournament. Now, after the incident, not only did we not improve our family’soverall strength and power, but we also regressed a lot!”

On the way to the tournament, the First Elder breathed a huge sigh and added, “And I’m afraid that thistime the target will be on our backs. Many forces and families will target us.”

Nash, however, put on a sanguine face. “It’s alright, it’s fine. I have faith in our family. We will be strongvery soon!”

Chapter 1258 On the other side, the head of the Cabello family and others were worried about something. They pacedaround the hall and their faces looked concerned.

Daniella had been out for more than a month. When she left a letter announcing that she went out tosearch for treasures and resources in the forest, the group did not expect that she would not return for solong.

The Cabello family had sent out a lot of their men to search in the forest that they normally frequent forthe treasure hunt, nonetheless, not a single trace of Daniella had been found. This made the Cabellofamily feel agonized and worried.

“Dad, don’t worry about Daniella, she’ll be alright. Let’s go!”

At the square of the Cabello family, the First Young Mistress Cabello gazed at Alejandro Cabello—thehead of the Cabello family—and said, smilingly, “Daniellita is a smart and quick-witted girl. She will not bein trouble; she’ll be alright. Besides, who has that brave heart to offend the current Cabello family? Aren’tthey afraid of our revenge? So, I think Daniellita is just being playful and not wanting to come back sosoon. She must be hanging and fooling around somewhere!”

“I do hope so. Sigh! That young lady is prideful and arrogant sometimes. What worries me is that shehad never gone out of Cabello island before. Now that she is on her own, I’m worried that she is toosimple-minded, and that others would dig a pit for her! That’d be really troublesome!”

Alejandro sighed aloud in his heart. The more time passed, the more concerned was his heart.

After all, his three daughters were good-looking and considered as beauties of the island. Even thoughone of them—the elder daughter—was already twenty-nine years old, a lot of young masters still fellhead over heels for her! Not to mention his youngest daughter, a playful, high-spirited yet gorgeousyoung lady, who would make any young men fall for her effortlessly. Her every gesture—smile, laugh,walk—was like a drug, injected into young men’s veins and making them addicted to her.

Therefore, if such a beauty left the home and went on an adventure for more than a month, the fatherobviously would be worried.

The First Young Mistress Cabello’s pallor went unsightly after hearing her father’s words. She wasworried but she could only force a smile and comfort his father, “She’ll be okay. She’s definitely alright. Ihave faith in her!”

“Sigh! Let’s depart now. We can only try to be optimistic!”

Alejandro knew that his daughter was saying that to comfort herself too. He smiled and waved his hand.A flying carpet suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

The flying carpet rose in the wind, and soon it grew to a size that could accommodate nearly a thousandpeople.

“Let’s go!”

Four to five hundred men hopped onto the flying carpet and sat on it. With a flicker of movement inAlejandro’s mind, the flying carpet flew out and went straight in the direction of the mainland.

…

“Sigh! The White family doesn’t have any flying treasure. Every time we have such an event, we have togo by land!”

jackie and the others were on their way to the tournament at this time. The First Elder—who was at thefront—sighed at the situation.

“Such treasure is rare. The higher-level treasures are known as spiritual tools. As for a treasure that canfly, heh, it’s even rarer!”

Nash smiled bitterly and explained.

“Spiritual tool?”

jackie heard the words and a few lines form between his snapped brows. “I don’t have much knowledgeabout spiritual tools, and I’ve never heard that there are different levels among spiritual tools!”

Chapter 1259 Guilt filled Nash’s heart when he heard that. jackie had been training in the mortal realm for all this while,and it seemed like he did not have much knowledge about treasures.

He gave a small smile and explained to jackie in a patient tone, “There are two types of tools: normaltools, and spiritual tools. And the latter has several grades as well according to how much strength itgives you in battle and its fluctuations after absorbing chi: lower-grade, middle-grade, and upper-grade.And the most powerful of them all, ultimate-grade tools!”

Here, Nash paused for a while before continuing, “But most martial artists still stick to regular soldierweapons. It’s pretty good if you have a lower-grade tool, and only a few people possess middle-gradetools—never mind upper and ultimate-grade tools!”

jackie thought about it for a while and flipped his palm, taking out an object that resembled atortoiseshell. He thrust it toward Nash. “Dad, take a look at this. I think this is a spiritual tool. But I don’tknow what grade it is. This is a defensive weapon that grows bigger to fend off attacks!”

Nash’s eyes brightened when he heard this. “Defensive tools are really rare too. It might save your life ata critical moment. I never thought that you’d get your hands on one!”

After he said that, Nash passed the treasure back to jackie and said, “Try channeling your chi into it!”

The treasure had already recognized jackie as its owner and had traces of his energy in it. Nashdefinitely had no way of making it move, and if others wanted to make that treasure theirs, they neededto completely wipe off every trace of jackie’s chi from it.

As jackie injected his chi into it, the tortoiseshell shield slowly grew bigger, till it reached the height of aman. A warm yellow glow emanated from its surface.

“From–from its fluctuations, it should be a middle-grade tool. Not bad. Not bad at all. We only have a fewof such weapons in the White family!”

Nash studied it for a while before a smile lit up his face. He was glad that jackie managed to get hishands on such a treasure.

“Oh, right. I have another item here. It’s probably a spiritual tool!”

jackie kept the shield and smiled as he took out the black sword. He then poured some of his energy intoit.

Suddenly, a black flash emitted from the dragon-shaped sword. A fierce, yet quiet ripple spreadthroughout the area.

jackie gave a smile. “This sword is a spiritual tool as well. But probably a lower or middle-grade, right?”

“Let me take a look!”

Nash took a step forward and observed it. Then excitement spread across his features. “There’s a smallhole on this sword. Here. Do you see it? So you can’t just pour your energy in like that. You have tomake it enter through this hole to make it release its full potential!”

jackie took a sharp intake of breath after he heard that. “So you’re saying that I haven’t been using thissword properly all this while? I’ve only been tapping into a fraction of its power?”

Nash bobbed his head. “But even so, I can already tell that it’s a spiritual tool. You’ll have to pour your chithrough the hole for me to determine its grade!”

jackie nodded his head. He followed Nash’s instructions and focused his energy into his palm, beforethreading it through that tiny hole.

The sword, originally rather full, suddenly brightened and emitted a frightening hum. The fluctuationswere even stronger this time around.

Chapter 1260 jackie never expected the sword to grow bigger as well. A different aura also seeped into his head.

After he received the message, he was extremely excited. His features showed extreme delight.

“This–this should be an ultimate-grade tool!”

The First Elder was so excited that his voice quivered. Only the very strongest of the shadow familieshad such a treasure, and even then, they only possessed one of it.

It was evident that this was extremely precious. No one thought that jackie’s sword was an ultimate-grade tool.

“That’s right. I never thought that it would be an ultimate-grade tool. I never noticed anythingextraordinary about it either when jackie had taken it out!”

Nash was excited as well. He never expected jackie’s sword to be such a valuable treasure.

“Dad! I think–I think I received a message from the sword just now!”

jackie was excited. He waved his hand, and the sword flew upward, rapidly expanding in the sky until itlooked like two or three thousand people could stand on it.

With an internal shove, jackie’s sword shrunk again, till it could take about a thousand people.

“This–this is a tool that can fly? My god. You can use it to fight and fly. Such a treasure is so hard tocome by!”

Many elders immediately understood what jackie had meant when they saw him remotely controlling it.

“This is great. If that’s the case, we can sit on this sword to head for the competition!”

Daniella also jumped excitedly after witnessing all that. Even her father’s flying carpet was not that highof a grade. It could only fly, and you could not use it to fight. It was her first time seeing such a treasureas well.

“Let’s go!”

With a blink, jackie stood atop the sword and announced to everyone.

“Hah. All right!”

Nash laughed and flew up as well, landing softly on the surface of the sword.

“Let’s go!”

Everyone also happily hopped on.

“I really never thought that such a sword would exist. Hah. Never imagined that I would be sitting onthis!”

The First Elder laughed and sat cross-legged. The sword flew out under jackie’s control.

“Not only is this a flying sword, but it’s also an ultimate-grade tool!”

Admiration spread across the Second Elder’s face. “You’re at the beginning stage of the true god realmnow, but with this sword, you can head toe-to-toe with those from the intermediate stage. And you evenmight stand a chance of defeating them!”

Everyone nodded their heads when they heard that.

“It’s a pity that jackie’s level is not quite there yet,” Nash chimed in. “If he were to be at the intermediatestage of the true god realm, we’d have another fighter at the advanced stage with the enhanced powerthis sword gives!”

“You’re amazing, Young Master jackie,” Lancelot said, smiling. “You’ve surpassed us so quickly!”

Chapter 1261 No one expected Daniella to speak up at this moment, a knowing smile on her face, “I see that you didn’t

know jackie is already at the intermediate stage of the true god realm. He underwent the breakthrough afew days ago. With this sword, he might have the fighting prowess of a fighter at the advanced stage!”

“What? He–he already broke through?”

Nash was stunned. He swiveled his head toward jackie in excitement. “ jackie, is that true? You–you’realready at the intermediate stage of the true god realm?”

“My God. He broke through so fast? You’re a true master, Young Master jackie! Young Master Lancecannot match up to you!”

Many elders could not help but exclaim. They were suspecting if they were dreaming.

After all, the shock of finding out that jackie had an ultimate-grade weapon had not completely subsidedyet, and now they were saying that he had broken into the intermediate stage of the true god realm.

It was not easy to advance through the stages of the true god status. It required great ability from thepractitioner. More importantly, some would not succeed in breaking through even after trying a few times,and they’d have to rest for quite some time before attempting to break through once more.

That was why everyone knew how difficult it was to advance through the stages.

jackie nodded his head when he saw everyone’s excitement. “I did breakthrough. I’ve also been growingaccustomed to my chi over these past few days!”

“Heh. Like father, like son! How could we not envy a master like you, jackie?”

Titus nodded his head in satisfaction, evidently excited as well.

At this moment, a flying sword appeared from another direction, heading toward where they were going.

“It’s the Norman family!”

The First Elder frowned when he recognized them, their swords drawing closer to each other.

“The Norman family?”

Daniella frowned as well when she heard this. She was well aware that the Norman family was on par interms of strength with the Cabello family.

However, the Norman family had pretty good relations with the Cabello family, and since the Cabellofamily was on bad terms with the White family, the Norman family was not close with the White familyeither.

Furthermore, plenty of young masters from the Norman family were interested in Daniella. That was whythey frequently fought the White family members—all to gain recognition from her and her two sisters.

She never thought that they would run into this bunch not long after leaving for the competition.

“Eh!”

The people on the other flying sword also quickly recognized jackie and the others.

“Look. There’s a flying sword there! It must be another powerful family!”

A young woman spoke to the person beside her, smiling.

“It looks like the White family.”

The elder standing at the forefront furrowed his brows together after observing them for a while.“Strange. Since when did the White family have a flying sword like that? I thought they’d be walkingthere.”

After they heard this, many people burst into laughter. Although the White family was one of the eightshadow families, their strength was nothing compared to the other seven. That was why they looked

down upon them.

Chapter 1262 “Don’t laugh. They probably picked up a lower-grade tool that so happened to fly towardsomewhere, so they’re using it!”

The First Elder of the Norman family spoke in a sardonic tone.

After all, jackie’s sword looked dull and ordinary then, and only a tinge of black encased it. It flew at aleisurely pace, not too fast and not too slow.

That was why there was no way to tell the grade of the treasure.

The only thing they could be sure of was that a flying treasure was no doubt a spiritual tool. Some of thelow-grade spiritual tools could also fly, but they could not go very fast.

“They picked it up?”

Their Second Elder was taken aback for a while. “Hah. Even a flying treasure is not worth picking up ifit’s a low grade one,” he commented, smiling. “They must have spent quite a fortune to buy that second-hand item.”

A young master from the Norman family rolled his eyes. “Second Elder, how could you say that?” he saidsolemnly. “They’re one of the eight shadow families as well and are a first-class family. How could youjust say that they bought a second-hand item?”

“Heh. That’s true. I forgot about that!”

The Second Elder cleared his throne, making everyone laugh again.

The young man also grinned. It was evident that they were in cahoots with each other.

However, his smile quickly hardened, and his muscles stiffened.

“That–that woman. Why is Daniella Cabello there?”

The young man squinted at the flying sword, brows knitted. The more he studied the woman, the moreshe looked like Daniella.

However, he thought maybe he was wrong. The Cabello family and the White family were not on friendlyterms. As the third daughter of the Cabello family, why would Daniella be mingling about with the Whitefamily? She was even on the same flying sword as them.

Many people also went goggle-eyed when they noticed this.

“You’re right, it’s her!”

A young woman exclaimed after she saw them.

“We’ll know who it is once we get closer. No way that it’s Daniella!”

Master Norman thought about it for a while before directing the sword toward jackie and the others,closing the distance between them.

“Why are the Norman family members coming our way? Are they trying to greet us?”

Chapter 1263 The First Elder could not help but frown when he saw them coming over. Worry clenchedhis chest.

“Who cares. We have nothing to be afraid of. Besides, we can’t hide from them forever. We’ll run intothem at the competition venue anyway.”

Nash gave a frosty smile and spoke languidly.

“It…it really is Third Young Mistress Cabello!”

After they closed some of the distance, an elder exclaimed and scrubbed his eyes.

“Daniella, why are you on the White family’s flying sword?”

Master Norman’s eldest son, Keith, was slightly taken aback. “Miss Daniella, were you kidnapped by theWhite family?’ he asked. “If you were, blink. The Norman family will save you!”

The second son of Master Norman also stepped forward. “This beautiful young woman is the ThirdYoung Mistress Cabello, White family members,” he hollered. “I’ll make sure to give you h*ll if you dare totouch a single hair on her head!”

A fatty, who was the third son, also spoke up in a blustering manner, “Upon my pride as a Norman son, Iswear we won’t be able to face the Cabello family if anyone bullies her!”

Daniella was internally speechless. “I wasn’t forced into this,” she replied. “I just wanted to go for thecompetition, and I so happened to bump into them. Since we were heading for the same place, I justhitched a ride from them!”

Daniella was well aware that the three young masters all displayed affection toward her—as well as hertwo older sisters. It was evident that they were out to gain attention from any of the three girls.

Keith immediately heaved a sigh of relief. “Really? I thought you were kidnapped. After all, the Cabellofamily isn’t on good terms with the White family!”

Here, he felt that something was off. “Third Young Mistress Cabello, don’t tell me that you’ve been forcedto lie because they’ve blackmailed you or because you’re afraid of them?”

The second son was also stunned. “That’s right. Your families are not close with each other, Third YoungMistress Cabello. You have no obligation to sit on their flying sword even if they’re going in the samedirection. Come over and sit with us. It’s more comfortable here. More importantly, we’re faster. We’llarrive at Kobe Mountain in no time.

“I appreciate your concern, but there’s no need for that. I’ll just sit on their flying sword!”

Daniella felt awkward. It would be taxing to sit on the same sword with those three fellows, who werelikely to be sucking up to her all the way. She would rather be dead than listen to their groveling.

Master Norman suddenly felt embarrassed. All three of his sons tried to coax Daniella, but sheunexpectedly did not reciprocate. She would rather sit with the White family than them.

Master Darryl Norman suddenly spoke with a frosty expression, “Ah, surely I’ve heard that wrong, ThirdYoung Mistress. The relation between your family and theirs is sour, yet you’d rather go together with theWhite family instead of the Norman family. You’re taking a jab at my reputation. Besides, aren’t you afraidthat I’ll tell your father about this? He’ll be angry.”

Daniella did not expect that Darryl would get mad over something so trivial. She hated it when othersthreatened her.

“Master Norman, it just so happened that we’re going the same way,” she said, pitching her tone low. “It’ssuch a small matter. And you’re saying that I look down on the Norman family because of this? They’reone of the right shadow families too. It’s not out of the ordinary for me to follow you or follow them. Whatdo you mean that I’m jabbing at your reputation?”

Here, she spoke straightforwardly, “If you’re really so petty that you would tell my father about this,please, go right ahead.”

Chapter 1264 It appears that what Daniella uttered was extremely straight to the point and MasterNorman was unable to refute it.

If he still continued to hold onto that matter and report to the Cabellos about how she was with the White,would he not appear as being petty? However, if he let it go at that moment, the Norman family would be

extremely embarrassed. After all, they got into such a situation when they kindly asked Daniella if shewas kidnapped and even invited her to travel with them instead.

He proactively changed the topic of their conversation after thinking about it. He glanced at Nash andsmiled coldly. “Master White, I heard that something happened in the White family around one monthago? Tsk tsk… If such an interesting plot was written into a book, the book would surely be a hit!”

The corners of Nash’s mouth slightly twitched. He knew that some people would bring up that matter andtalk about it. However, he did not expect it to be mentioned during their journey to Kobe Mountain.

He glanced at Darryl and smiled bitterly. “Haha… I had no idea that the Norman family was so well-informed and actually paid attention to the situation at the White family!”

Nash paused before continuing to speak, “Something did happen previously but it’s our family’s internalaffairs and we’ve already resolved it!”

Nash obviously did not intend to continue the conversation with him.

Unfortunately, Darryl who was humiliated a moment ago, did not plan to let Nash go so easily.

He had a playful smile on his face as he said, “Have you really resolved it? Aren’t you slightly tooconfident about it? In my opinion, this is not something that you can resolve so easily. Your wife wasactually involved in an affair with the Third Elder. Sigh, who knew that Lily Lagorio is that sort of aperson. I heard that she even poisoned you. Tsk, tsk… What a scary woman.”

The First Elder of the Norman family also stood forward. “That’s right. This did not only cost the Lagoriostheir honor, even the White have lost their faces. Apart from that, Master White, you had been reallycareless for letting them poison you.”

Nash’s facial expression darkened. Something like this was a disgrace to the White family. Who knewthat these people would mention it on purpose without sparing him some dignity.

He could only smile bitterly. “Everything is in the past. We’ve killed those who deserved to be killed andpunished those who deserved to be punished. Our White family will definitely have better development inthe future!”

Darryl’s son, Keith, then said with a smile, “Will you be able to have better development? I don’t think so.Haha… You’ve worked so hard to become a first-class aristocratic family. You must have suffered quite aloss now that the Third Elder, several other elders, and patronums have died. Haha… some of thefamilies that once stood by your side might not even acknowledge your positions this time.”

Nash smiled bitterly. “Eldest young master, you are right to say that we’ve suffered quite a huge loss.However, we’ve progressed nicely over the past two to three years. The position of Third Elder and theother elders have been taken over by the other branch family masters. We are also working hard to growstronger. We’ll need to observe our growth in the future!”

Although Nash was secretly unhappy, he knew clearly that it was best to not offend these seven families.Hence, he would try his best to give in under such circumstances and not get into a fight with the otherparty.

Hence, he remained a calm expression even though the other party had said such things about hisfamily. He even maintained a smile on his face as he conversed nicely with them.

“Haha… I’m afraid that it would be hard for you people to get the recognition from others this time. Asone of the eight shadow families, you can’t get low positions in this competition. It would be shameful ifyou did not enter the top ten and end up with a low placing in this competition!” Darryl Norman onceagain laughed loudly and said.

“Don’t you worry, Master Norman. I believe that there’s a possibility that the White family will surpriseeverybody this time!” Daniella, who was by the side, could not stand it anymore.

In the past, she would have ignored any comments the Norman family had about the White family. Shemight even gloat because she was a member of the Cabello family.

However, she felt uncomfortable and unconvinced for the White family when she heard otherscommenting on them now. She even stood forward and proactively spoke on behalf of the White family.

Chapter 1265 Darryl did not expect Daniella to not only refuse to travel with the Norman family, shehelped to speak on behalf of the White family.

He was slightly stunned before he spoke with a smile, “Really? Let’s see how it goes?”

He thought about it after he spoke before asking Daniella again. “By the way, Daniellita, are you sure thatyou don’t want to come with us? If you sit on this wasted flying sword with the Whites, it might take yousome time. Isn’t it better to reach the towns under Kobe Mountain earlier for a rest?”

“Uncle Darryl, why do I feel that sitting on their flying sword would be much faster than traveling withyou?” Daniella smiled as she turned her head to ask jackie. “ jackie, our flying sword would be fasterthan them, right?”

jackie kept quiet the entire time as he believed that the White family’s development would be proven intime.

However, he still nodded as Daniella was doing so much talking on behalf of them. “That’s for sure!”

“Haha… Who knows where they got this wasted piece of junk from. It’s a joke that they even think aboutcomparing speed with our flying sword!” Keith smiled coldly. “Daniella, it doesn’t matter if the Whiteshave gone mad. Why have you decided to follow in their footsteps? My father’s flying sword is a middle-grade spiritual tool. How can your useless flying sword compete with his?”

“We’ll know if we can compete with his flying sword after we try it out!” jackie was too lazy to explain tothem. He changed his thoughts and with an increase in speed, the flying sword flew out with a whoosh.

“Such speed!” Darryl was stunned. He discovered that jackie’s flying sword was already a huge distanceaway from theirs.

“F*ck, I don’t believe that I can’t catch up!” He immediately controlled the flying sword to increase itsspeed as he wanted to catch up with jackie and the others.

However, jackie’s flying sword was already speedy and he was still increasing it’s speed. After tenseconds, they had completely thrown the Normans behind and disappeared from their line of sight.

“How’s that possible! We failed to catch up!” Darryl’s eyes were wide open as he swallowed his salivahard. He wondered if he had made a mistake. He had been increasing the speed of his flying swordwithout stopping and it was at its limit. However, their distance with the White family’s flying sword wasgetting further and further away until they were completely thrown behind.

“This can only prove that the level of the White family’s flying sword is higher than ours!” Darryl hadraging emotions in his heart and slowly spoke after some time.

Chapter 1266 The Norman family’s First Elder was in disbelief at what he saw. “That’s impossible. TheWhite family doesn’t have any middle-grade spiritual tool as I recall, especially a flying sword at that.Such a spiritual tool is even rare! Our swords failed to fly faster than theirs. Could their sword be anupper-grade spiritual tool?”

He was not hallucinating or dreaming—everyone else saw the same thing, after all.

Darryl said with a cold expression on his face. “Never thought the White family would get lucky and scorethemselves a rare item from who knows where. If this is an upper-grade spiritual tool, it’ll be able toincrease quite an amount of combat power! If Nash uses this sword, I won’t be able to take him down onmy own!”

“By the way, who’s that young man,” a young man chimed in after he spotted them, “and why does itseem like Daniella is well-acquainted to him?”

“Daniella seems to call him jackie!” added another.

“ jackie, that illegitimate child?” The Norman family’s second young master had a scowl on his face.“Damn it! That Daniella would rather sit on such a person’s flying sword instead of going with us?”

Keith, on the other hand, gave a tight-lipped smile. “It could be that Daniella felt that their flying sword ismuch faster, and she’s willing to travel with the White family because she knows that the sword is anupper-grade spiritual tool. Let’s not overthink it!”

“That’s right! Miss Daniella has such a noble identity, after all, so how can that illegitimate child be worthyof her? Only prodigies like us are compatible with Daniellita!” scoffed Conley Norman, chin raised highhaughtily.

In their opinion, the White’s flying sword is only an upper-grade spiritual tool and not an ultimate-gradespiritual tool, even though it was much faster than their flying sword. After all, there were only a handfulof ultimate-grade spiritual tools.

The competition’s venue was at the bottom of Kobe Mountain. The top family among the Eight ShadowFamilies would announce the rules and rewards of the competition once everyone had gathered.

There was a small town at the bottom of Kobe Mountain where, due to its generous Chi, many wouldtrain.

The Eight Shadow Families and a few second or third-class shadow families would arrive earlier beforethe competition started to have a good rest. They would then leave together and gather at the emptyground outside the forest located at the bottom of Kobe Mountain.

“Haha… We’re so fast! I’d love to see the look on Master Norman’s face!” chirped the gleeful Daniella,extremely happy with herself on the flying sword.

“You should try to have a low-profile. After all, our White family don’t want to offend the Norman family!”quipped jackie as he wore an awkward smile. “We can’t afford to be engaged in several huge fights. Weneed to try our best in increasing our overall strength so that the other families won’t ever belittle us.”

Lancelot and the others were embarrassed when they heard this. They never expected that jackie wouldmake such a comment toward Daniella without fearing she would be upset.

Surprisingly, Daniella, instead of grumbling, blushed instead as she lowered her head. “Alright, I get it,”she muttered. “I’ll listen to everything you say in the future, alright?”

Chapter 1267 Many were baffled by what Daniella had said? What did she mean, listen to everything hewould say in the future? Why did that sound like a conversation between a couple?

jackie was just as startled. He could only smile sheepishly as he looked in front of him while urging thesword to fly forward.

With this flying sword, the group arrived at the outskirts of the town under Kobe Mountain that night.

jackie stopped the flying sword when they arrived at the main entrance. “Alright, let’s get down and walkin. It’s best to keep a low-profile, too, seeing as it’s a hassle if someone set their eyes on such a preciousitem.”

Nash nodded in satisfaction. “Alright, let’s head in.”

Jumping down from the flying sword, they walked toward the entrance after jackie made it much smallerand hid it into his martial ring.

“Seems like we’re the early birds. It won’t be easy to get accommodation had we come much later.” TheFirst Elder smiled bitterly. “Back then, we’d only be able to look for caves outside the city to stay in if wefailed to find a place to stay.”

“Haha…! We have to thank Young Master jackie for his flying sword; we wouldn’t get here at such speedhad it not been for his sword?” Mason chuckled heartily. Although the White family suffered a seriousloss with what happened previously, they were still confident toward their development, especially sincejackie’s was immensely talented and had the fighting prowess of the real-god stage’s intermediate level.

Together with this ultimate-grade spiritual tool, his combat power was compatible with the masters of thereal-god stage’s peak. It would be even better should jackie break into the real-god level’s final stage—the White family would be graced with another master of the real god level’s peak stage should jackieachieve such height.

Such an addition would increase the entire family’s position to a whole new height.

After all, the seven other shadow families basically had two of such masters while some had three orfour.

The existence of a master in the peak stage real-god level was an important measure of a family’soverall strength.

In the past, there were only seven first-class shadow families, but along the line, the White family grewstronger after constant development. Although they only had one master in the peak stage real-godlevel, their overall strength was not bad, which was why everyone was ready to add another shadowfamily.

The White family emerged victorious after competing against several other powerful families, and thatwas how they obtained the acknowledgment of others and became the last in the Eight First-ClassShadow Families.

As they got closer to the entrance, jackie and the others were suddenly stopped by guards at theentrance that they never saw before.

“What’s the meaning of this?” Nash frowned, rather unhappy that he was blocked. Nothing like this hadhappened in the past.

One of the guards walked forward and gestured politely with his hands before he resounded, “Greetings,Master White! Kobe City had always been controlled by the small clan, Kobe Clan, and had never askedfor entrance fees in the past. However, you might not know it, but the Kobe Clan had started dependingon the first-class shadow family, the Hunt family. They’re now considered a dependent clan of the Huntfamily!”

Nash’s face darkened. “So there’s an entrance fee for entering the city this year?”

The guard nodded. “That’s right. This is the Hunt family’s orders, and there’s nothing we can do about it.We’re only subordinates who obey orders. I’m sure Master White can understand this, right?”

Chapter 1268 The news shocked Nash. The Hunt family obviously did this to rake in profit.

It was obvious that a small clan like the Kobe Clan would not simply depend on the Hunt family all of asudden. The Hunt family must have searched for them, and the profit must be shared between bothparties later on.

However, the Hunt family was a huge clan, and they had four masters in the real god level’s peak stage.They also had several masters in the final stage of the real-god level.

What could the White family even argue about when faced with such a powerful family?

Nash could only smile at the guards. “Now how can we make it harder for you? This is something weshould do! We’ll do it! Tell me: how many spirited stones do we need to pay?”

The guard smiled. “Hmm… Two lower-grade spirited stones per person, and I see that there are fifty-twopeople here. That means that a thousand and forty lower-grade spirited stones would be enough?”

“Over a thousand?” The corners of the First Elder’s mouth twitched as he heard the rather expensive fee.They needed to pay spirited stones to enter the city, and it was too expensive at two pieces per person.

After all, such items were needed for grandmasters and needed training.

“Yes. This is the order they’ve given, and there’s nothing we can do about it,” said the guard ratherimpatiently as he eyed the First Elder. “I don’t believe the White family can’t even come up with such asmall amount of spirited stones. If that’s the case, you guys aren’t living up to the reputation of being oneof the Eight Shadow Families!”

The First Elder was dumbfounded. It startled him how such a person of the Kobe Clan would addressthem disrespectfully.

Nonetheless, he knew he could not get agitated as the Kobe Clan was supported by the Hunt family insilence. Everybody wanted to please the Hunt family, so offending them clearly proved to be fruitless.

“About that… Can the price be reduced? How about a thousand pieces?” offered the smiling Nash.

“Master White, isn’t your request making it difficult for us? This rule is set by the upper management, andas their subordinates, how can we simply reduce the number of spirited stones you need to pay? What ifthey find out and have us make up for the lost stones?” The man stretched his body and said extremelylazily. “Sigh! Never thought that the White family, one of the Eight Shadow Families, isn’t as candid assome second-class shadow families.”

Nash’s facial expression continued to darken, though he flipped his hand and came up with 1,040 lower-grade spirited stones and passed it to them. “By the way, how long can these stones last us?”

The man took the spirited stones and calculated them before smilingly saying, “This is the entrance fee,and we won’t ask for any other payment if you don’t leave the city after you enter. However, if you enterthe city today and come out tomorrow, you’ll need to pay again if you wish to re-enter. After all, too manypeople have visited recently, and we can’t possibly remember if you guys have paid or not, right?”

“You’re right.” Giving a small smile, Nash waved his hand and led the group into the city.

Just as they walked past the guards, they heard them speaking, “Who knew that the White family wouldbe so stingy… They negotiated on a small amount of entrance fee. I can’t believe it!”

Chapter 1269 jackie stopped walking and closed his hands into fists as he was extremely angry.

Such a fee should not have been taken from them in the first place and they had never asked for this feein the past. It was unfair as it was something the Hunt family came up with to make money. Who knewthat the other party would take the payment as if it was reasonable. They even dared look down at thembecause they had the support of powerful people behind their backs.

“Let it be!” Nash glanced at jackie and smiled helplessly. “This is how the world is. The right to speakgoes to those who are more powerful. The Hunt family has four masters of the peak stage real god level.They also have a large number of masters who are in the final and intermediate stage of the real godlevel. We aren’t compatible with them as they have high level martial skills. Not only the Hunt family, wealso need to give way to the other families!”

jackie naturally understood that his actions also represent the White family. He loosened his fists afternodding in agreement and said, “Alright, I understand. Those families would not dare to bully us or lookdown at us if we strengthen the White family!”

“Yes, there’s no other ways. Let’s try our best to strengthen the White family!” Nash sighed. The 1000over pieces of spirited stones were sufficient for the younger generations of the White family to use forone month.

However, they could not do anything when they were faced with such domineering charges. They werenot the only one, even families like the Cabello family would have to pay the spirited stones when theyarrived.

“We should not have entered the city if we knew that this was going to happen. We could have found acave and stayed outside for several days!” the Second Elder said angrily as he walked. He had obviouslynever experienced such abbreviation.

“That would not work!” Nash shook his head. “That would be nothing if this was ten years ago. However,we’re one of the Eight Shadow Families not and a member of the first-class shadow family. The othersmight look down on us or despise us if we stayed outside. Especially those families who lost to us,they’re working hard to increase their strength with hopes to pull us down and make themselves one ofthe first-class shadow families!”

The Second Elder nodded helplessly. “That’s true. After all, it had been mentioned in the last meetingthat the first-class shadow families have to remain at eight families within the next twenty years while theother families are second or third-class shadow families. There will be a discussion for the increase ofthe numbers after twenty years!”

As it had turned dark, the group soon found a small hotel.

“Oh my, isn’t this Master White?” The owner immediately recognized Nash and welcomed them happily.

“Boss Lane, we need fifty-two rooms. How much spirited stones do you need?” Nash smiled at the otherparty. “We should follow the old rules and how about a 20% discount?”

Boss Lane smiled bitterly after he heard this. “The budget is too tight. Master White, the other hotelsdon’t give discounts nowadays and after calculating everything, you would need one hundred pieces ofspirited stones. What if I only take ninety pieces from you?”

“One hundred pieces?” Nash was slightly surprised when he heard this. “Isn’t fifty enough based on theprevious pricing? Why is it so expensive?”

“Brother, the price has increased. The price of everything has increased over the year. Everybody hadincreased their prices and if I don’t, those in the same industry might cause me trouble. It’s impossible forme to go against those big bosses, right? You need to put yourself in my shoe!” The boss smiled bitterly.He raised his hands and reassured Nash as he was afraid that Nash did not want the rooms. “Brother,ninety stones is already a discount for you. I can swear to you if you don’t believe me. You can take alook at the other hotels out there. Those hotels are more expensive and they don’t offer discounts!”

Chapter 1270 Boss Lane smiled when he saw that Nash was still hesitant. “Master White, my roomshere are only enough for you and five hundred other people. If you’re set here, I’ll put a sign out there toindicate that we are full. If you don’t plan to check in here, you will need to go look at other hotels and letother people come in later!”

Nash smiled slightly. “There’s still another five days and it’s a total of four hundred and fifty spiritedstones, right?”

The boss nodded. “That’s right. This is already considered a very low price!”

Nash flipped his hand to come up with his spirited stones and was ready to pay.

“Hold on, we are staying here!” Unexpectedly, the sound of a man speaking could be heard at thismoment.

The corners of Nash’s mouth immediately twitched several times when he heard this voice.

The person speaking was none other than Master Trenton of the Lagorio family.

“Haha… Nash White, what a coincidence. Who knew that I would meet you when I’ve just arrived inKobe City!” Diana also smiled coldly and stared at the White family members with hatred. She wanted to

kill the entire White family so badly.

“Master Lagorio, what a coincidence. Who knew that we would meet so soon!”

Although he knew clearly that he would definitely meet members of the Lagorio family and was preparedfor it, he had no idea that it would happen so soon.

Trenton humphed coldly before his sight finally landed on jackie. “You’re jackie? You really look likeNash!”

“Master Lagorio, I know you hate us but your daughter asked for what happened to her. Not only did shework together with the Third Elder to plan a rebellion, she even poisoned my father. Haha… Let’s not talkabout my father. Would you put up with it if something like this happened to you?” jackie laughed andshowed no signs of backing down. He wanted to wipe out the Lagorio family so badly. He would havedone it if the White family was not strong enough while his father wanted to develop the White family.

The Lagorios carried themselves as if they did not think that Lily made a mistake, they even blamed hisfather. It was true that a father would raise a daughter of the same character.

Trenton felt ashamed when he heard what jackie said. After all, it was true that his daughter cheated onNash and even did something despicable when she poisoned Nash.

“You guys must have vented yourself since you guys killed so many members of the Lagorio family? Nomatter what, my daughter and Master White were once married. Directly destroying her training is evenmore brutal than killing her!” Diana was extremely angry. She felt a wave of heartbreaking pain when sherecalled how haggard her daughter looked previously.

After all, their daughter was treated previously before the next wife was married to the White family!

“Haha… Are you blaming my father for not killing her?” jackie laughed coldly when she heard this. “Ifthat’s the case, you just need to tell me earlier. My father won’t need to go through so much trouble and

could have killed her if you told us earlier!”

“You…” Trenton could not hold it back anymore. He clenched his fists and appeared in front of jackie in aflash. His punch was flying directly at jackie.

Trenton travelled speedily and there was no sign that he was making moves. Everything caught peopleby surprise.

Nash also had no idea that this old man would be so shameless and make a move toward his son—ayounger generation. He quickly clench his fists and was ready to rush over and stop them.

Unfortunately, the current Trenton was so much faster and Nash was obviously unable to make it in time.

“B*stard, how dare you?”

Chapter 1271 Nash gritted his teeth in anger. He said as he rushed over. “I will wipe out your entirefamily if you dare kill my son!”

“Humph!” Trenton only had hatred in his heart at this moment. He planned to hurt jackie badly if he didnot kill jackie.

After all, the younger masters from every family would enter this competition. jackie was the White familymaster inheritor and it was impossible for him to not join the competition. jackie would become a hugejoke if he did not join the competition.

Hence, he did not need to kill jackie. He only needed to hurt jackie badly and Nash would have nothingto say when jackie is killed by somebody else during the competition.

After all, this competition was a life and death competition. Deaths in the competition could not be lookedinto after they came down from the stage. This was what all the families agreed to all this time.

Many times, some masters of some families would kill their enemies in the competition without anyrestriction when they had contradictions in the outside world. This was because the first-class aristocraticfamilies could not say anything even if the young masters from second-class aristocratic families killedyoung masters from first-class aristocratic families.

Although there was a small possibility for this to happen, there were many of such things happening inthe past.

He was afraid that Nash would get crazy over him accidentally killing jackie and both families would starta war. After all, the Lagorio family was not the White family’s opponent right now.

Hence, Trenton, who knew that jackie was at the beginning level of the real god level, controlled hispower and combat power slightly at this moment.

jackie clenched his fists and met the other party’s punch. He was sent several steps backward before hemanaged to stabilize himself with a step on the floor.

“What!” Trenton, who originally planned to hurt jackie, actually moved several meters backward too. Theattacks of these two people were comparable and waves of emotions filled his heart. After all, his combatpower was comparable to that of the intermediate stage real god level and jackie actually received theattack in such a relaxing way?

“B*stard!” Nash had already rushed over and punched towards Trenton at this moment.

Trenton was startled. He immediately curled his hands into fists and Chi moved around them. He darednot to respond with negligence and quickly met the attack with a punch.

Another huge bomb sound was heard. The next second, Trenton was sent backward several metersbefore he managed to stabilize himself. Nash on the other hand stood there stably and did not move onestep backward.

“This power…” Nash was stunned and immediately understood what Trenton planned to do. This oldman did not use his full power when he fought with jackie just now. He was surprised to discover thatTrenton only displayed his full energy when they were fighting. Trenton’s power was actually at the peakstage of the real god level.

“You’ve actually broken through into the peak stage of the real god stage?” Nash retracted his punch andhad a serious look on his face.

Trenton only had the training level of the last stage real god level previously and there was a hugedifference between their combat power. Who knew that this old man would break through? That wastroublesome.

He could see that the other party’s power was not very stable yet and he was not very handy with hiscontrol over power. It looked like he had just broken through recently.

If some more time passed, his combat power might increase more after he had adapted to the newlyincreased power.

“Haha… You never expected this? Nash White, I’ve broken through!” Trenton laughed loudly. “I onlyplanned to test your son’s level, why are you being so nervous? I did not expect your son to really be inthe intermediate stage of the real god level. He is really talented!”

Chapter 1272 jackie was not dumb. He was also surprised when the other party rushed over.

However, he soon understood that this old man dared not kill him and was only planning to hurt him.

After all, if this old man killed him here at this moment, his father and the elders of the White family wouldgo into a war with them. The Lagorios were obviously not the opponents of the Whites.novelbin

Hence, this old man wanted him to be hurt and let the other opponents kill him in the competition.

However, Trenton had really underestimated jackie’s combat power. jackie thought that the other partyhad the fighting prowess at the final stage of the real god level so he did not use his entire strength too.In the end, he ended in the same situation as the other party. He believed that if he used his full strength,Trenton would be unable to kill him even if he used his full strength.

“Haha… This test of yours really caught me by surprise!” jackie laughed but he had already made up hismind. He would definitely kill this old man when there is a chance in the future.

He was lucky that his father and the elders were here today. If that was not the case, this old man woulddefinitely kill him without holding back.

“This young man is really at the intermediate stage of the real god level?” Diana’s facial expression wasalso darkened. jackie’s talents caused her to secretly feel unsettled. Such talents were hard to come by,especially when this young man came back from the outside world. If this guy had always been trainingin the White family and did not lack martial resources, his current fighting prowess…

Nash’s facial expression also darkened. Trenton had broken through and achieved the peak stage of thereal god level. This meant that their family also had a master in the peak stage of the real god level andthe overall strength of their family was hugely raised.

The current Lagorio family had looked at the White family as their enemy and it was not a good thing forthis to continue.

“Yes, if he isn’t at the intermediate stage of the real god level, he would not have been able to block myattack so easily just now!”

Trenton glanced at jackie again before turning to speak to Boss Lane. “Boss Lane, why don’t you givethese rooms to us. We’ve always been helping you with your business in the past!”

An awkward expression immediately appeared in Boss Lane’s face. He also heard about the change inthe relationship between these two families. Such important news would definitely be spreaded aroundas long as a person was discussing it.

He smiled bitterly before speaking to Trenton. “Master Lagorio, I’m sorry but we’ve already decided onthe price. Apart from that, I need to honor those who come first when I’m handling a business deal. I’mreally sorry about this today. I think it’s best if you check the hotels next door for rooms!”

“I can pay more money. How about six hundred pieces of spirited stones?” Trenton was obviouslyunconvinced and wanted to compete. That was why he proactively raised the price.

“This…” Boss Lane hesitated before finally smiling bitterly and said. “Master Lagorio, there’s really notmuch that I can do about this. It’s not only about money!”

“Haha… I know. It’s because they are a first-class aristocratic family, right? I think that you’re bullying theweak and afraid of the strong. You’re really stupid for not earning that money!” Trenton laughed and soonhe was stunned when he saw a beauty among the crowd. “Hey, isn’t that the Third Young MistressCabello? Third young mistress, I am curious as to why you’re with the Whites?”

“Haha… Master Lagorio, it’s not up to you to decide the people from which family I run with?” Daniellasaw what happened just now. She was surprised and extremely worried when she saw how the otherparty attacked jackie.

However, she was embarrassed to say anything on behalf of the others because she was not a memberof the White family so she only remained standing among the crowd.

Who knew that Trenton would discover her so quickly.

Chapter 1273 ”Haha… That’s right, that’s right. Who am I to say anything about what the Cabellos wantto do!” Trenton laughed embarrassingly before waving his hands and said to the other Lagorios. “Let’s

go, let’s go!”

Trenton led them to the streets after he finished speaking.

However, he had no idea that he would run into another crowd just as he walked out from the hotel.

He was instantaneously happy when he saw this crowd because this was none other than the Cabellos.

He immediately ran over and said to Master Cabello. “Master Cabello, we are really fated with oneanother. Who knew that I would bump into you guys just as I arrived in this city! Such fate!”

“Haha… Yes, it’s been a long time since we last met, Master Lagorio!” Alejandro laughed with a slightdespise in his eyes.

He had never liked the Lagorios because the Lagorios and the White had an exceptionally goodrelationship in the past when Lily was Nash’s wife. Hence, the disciples in both families had always gotinto altercations when they were searching for valuable items.

“Master Cabello, by the way, I’m curious about something. I just saw Third Young Mistress Cabello andI’m wondering why is she with the White family members? Apart from that, she even spoke on behalf ofthem. After all, you also know that the relationship between your family and the White was not thatgood?” Trenton quickly said. He added another sentence after he finished. “Our Lagorio family is also theenemies of the White family right now!”

“What?! You’re saying that Daniella is with the White family right now?” Alejandro had been worriedabout Daniella’s safety. His eyes lit up when he heard this and he immediately spoke in excitement.“Where is she? Why is she with the White and is speaking on behalf of them?”

Trenton pointed at the hotel not far away. “They are in that hotel. I can see that the third young mistressis very innocent and I’m worried if she had been conned by the White family!”

“They are in the hotel?” Alejandro was slightly stunned before he led the Cabellos and walked into thehotel.

“Third sister, it really is third sister!” First Young Mistress Cabello was delighted when she immediatelysaw Daniella who was ready to go upstairs.

“This is great, it really is Daniella!” Venus Cabello smiled as she was also extremely excited.

“Eldest sister, second sister!” Daniella immediately ran over when she saw them. “This is great! I reallymiss you guys as it’s been a long time since I last saw you. Who knew that I would meet you once Ientered this city!”

“Daniella, why are you with this bunch of people? Did they make things difficult for you?” Alejandrorelaxed when he saw that Daniella was safe but he still asked with a cold expression on his face.

“Father, it happened like this. I was caught by a bunch of mountain brigands when I was out looking fortreasures. The leader was so disgusting that he even wanted to make me his wife!” Daniella immediatelyhad a wronged expression on her face. She turned around to look at jackie before she continued tospeak. “Luckily the young master of the White family, jackie, saved me. That’s why I am alive and able tosee you guys today!”

Chapter 1274 “Really? A White family member rescued you?” Alejandro had a weird expression on hisface when he heard this. According to the situation between both families, it was good enough that theWhite family did not hit the Cabello who was in danger. Who knew that they would actually save hisdaughter.

He had to wonder what the White family wanted and if they had other thoughts in their heads.

“Yes, father. jackie is really talented and strong!” Daniella was slightly shy when she mentioned jackie.She proactively praised jackie.

“Who’s jackie?!” Alejandro looked in front as he said loudly.

jackie smiled slightly as he walked forward. He gestured towards Alejandro and said. “Greetings toMaster Cabello, I am jackie. I helped Third Young Mistress Cabello as I happened to see her in a difficultsituation the other day. After all, I cannot stand the people who bully and humiliate women all the time!”

Alejandro looked at jackie before nodding and gesturing at him. “Thank you very much!”

“You’re welcome, Master Cabello!” jackie returned the polite gesture.

Unexpectedly, Trenton, who was listening for some time after a short while, would push the crowds awayand walk in at this moment. He said to Alejandro. “Master Cabello, don’t you fall for this guy’s sweetwords. This young man is Nash’s illegitimate son and has returned from the outside world. He has manybad habits and is definitely not a good person. It’s best if you don’t believe in him!”

Daniella was extremely angry when she heard how this old man dared come in and said something badabout jackie.

She immediately walked forward and said to Trenton angrily. “Trenton Lagorio, what are you talkingabout? You must hate the White family because your daughter acted indecent all the time and was finallyswept out of the house by the White family. Do you think that my father is stupid? Do you think that hedoesn’t know that your family hates the White family right now? Do you think that he will listen to whatyou said?”

“You…” Trenton’s face turned crimson from anger. The Third Young Mistress Cabello was so daring. Notonly did she talk back at him, she even dared to directly call him by his name.

However, he soon suppressed his anger. He knew clearly that Daniella dared act so arrogantly at thismoment because the Cabellos were here, if not, she would never dare say something like this.

He chose to ignore the Third Young Mistress Cabello, instead said to Alejandro with a smile. “MasterCabello, take a look. You should take a look at this daughter of yours. She has been brainwashed by theWhite and is speaking on behalf of the White. Have you people forgotten how many of the Cabello familydisciples fought with the White family disciples? Have you forgotten about the Cabellos who died?”

The corners of Alejandro’s mouth slightly twitched before he smiled at Trenton. “Master Lagorio, don’tyou worry. I know clearly what kind of a person my daughter is. We do not need you to say anythingregarding the affairs of the Cabello family. After all, I’m doubtful about the hidden intentions behind yourwords based on the situation between the Lagorios and the White.”

“Haha!” Trenton laughed and gestured with his hands before walking towards the door. “Master Cabello,I’m just reminding you out of kindness, you can choose to believe it or not. After all, you know clearlyabout your previous grudges!”

Trenton soon left after he finished speaking.

“No matter what, I have to thank you for saving my daughter!”

Chapter 1275 Alejandro glanced at jackie after Trenton left. He then flipped his hand and came up with afirst grade premium pill. He threw the pill to jackie. “This is a token of our gratitude. We, the Cabellos, donot like to owe others any favors.

Alejandro paused before continuing to speak. “However, just to set the record straight. The people fromour family will not hold back if they meet anybody from the White family during this competition. Do youunderstand?”

“A first grade premium pill?” jackie looked at the pill in his hands. Although this pill looked normal, it wasa hard to comeby precious item. After all, this had a great effect for someone in the final stage of the realgod level.

It looked like Alejandro really loved his daughter, Daniella. Not only did he apologize to his opposingclan, he even gave them a pill to show his gratitude. No ordinary people could do something like this.

“Master, this…” The facial expression of a Cabello family’s old man darkened. He was obviously unwillingto give such a precious item to a member of the White family.

“It’s alright, it’s just a pill. My daughter’s life is much more valuable than this pill and I don’t want to owethe White family anything! If not, I don’t want them speaking things behind our backs if our peopleaccidentally kill masters of the White family during the competition. I don’t want them saying that werepaid their kindness with hatred and that we don’t know how to be grateful!” Alejandro smiled coldly andsaid.

The elder nodded before walking back.

“Father, can’t the relationship between both families ease up? jackie rescued me and he’s a very niceperson!” Daniella was extremely anxious that she stomped her leg as she spoke.

“I said that these two are different things. I do not want to owe the White family but the competition will bejust like how it used to be. Do you understand? If there are any altercations during the competition, wecan’t allow our people to give in to them, right?” Alejandro looked at Daniella seriously. “Alright, I haven’tgiven you a scolding for running away secretly and almost lost your life. How dare you talk on behalf ofthe White family? Do you know that you’re making yourself a joke to the entire family if you act like this?!”

“I don’t care. I only know that jackie and I are good friends and he’s the one who saved me so I’mremembering his good deeds in my heart!” Daniella pursed her lips and hugged her hands in front of herchest while saying angrily.

“You…” Alejandro gritted his teeth before turning around to look at Nash and the others. He gestured atthem. “Nash White, your family has suffered a huge loss previously and if your younger masters suffer a

huge loss in this competition… Haha… By then, it would be difficult to keep your position of number eightand nobody would admit that you’re a first-class shadow family!”

Nash smiled and gestured with his hands. “Thank you Master Cabello for your care. We are clear aboutthis and I believe that my son and the others would be able to get great results!”

“Haha… It’s great that you guys are so confident!” Alejandro laughed and walked towards the entrance.“Daniella, let’s go!”

“Father…” Daniella was feeling extremely bad. She originally thought that jackie rescued her and shehoped that the relationship between both families would ease up because of this. Who knew that herfather was still so hard-headed and she was lucky to not have mentioned that jackie was her boyfriend orthat she wanted to be with jackie. Who knew how angry Alejandro would get if she said that.

Chapter 1276 “Let’s go, Sister…” Helena and Venus Cabello pulled the reluctant Daniella to leave withthe Cabellos.

“Seems like the grudge between both families is deeply implanted, Father,” said jackie with a bitter smileafter the Cabellos left.

Nash smiled awkwardly as well. “This is a long-winded story, and the hatred wasn’t only accumulated forone or two days, which is why Alejandro’s attitude is normal. However, I didn’t expect him to give you apill.”

jackie hesitated as he looked at the pill in his hands. He then walked toward the First Elder and said,“First Elder, I think it’s best to give this pill to you.”

“You’re giving it to me?!” First Elder’s eyes widened, thinking he heard wrongly. Such a precious itemwas enough to make many real god level masters crave it, but jackie wanted to give it to him just likethat?

jackie nodded. “I heard that you’ve been in the final stage of the real-god level for several years. I hopethat this pill can help you break through and reach the peak stage of the real-god level. After all, having amaster in the real-god level’s peak stage is extremely important to a family. Our family would be blessedwith two masters in the peak stage of the real-god level if you really break through!”

Titus also nodded. “First Elder, Young Master has a point, and you should accept the pill. If our Whitefamily has another master in the peak stage of the real-god level, arrogant clans will look at usdifferently!”

Nash also nodded in extreme satisfaction. “First Elder, why are you still hesitating and not receiving thepill?”

First Elder was very touched as he took the pill. He nodded continuously as he gushed, “A—Alright.Thank you, Young Master jackie!”

jackie chuckled and responded, “Haha… We’re all members of the White family, and I hope you canbreak through into the real-god level’s peak stage as soon as possible!”

First Elder nodded after he thought about it. “Alright. I can try to break through my fighting prowess asthere are still four to five days before the competition.” It was no easy feat to break through afterachieving the real-god level’s fighting prowess, and because of that, he was not so confident and fearedhe would waste the pill jackie gave him.

“Alright, everybody should go get some rest. All of us can rest during these few days and go out for awalk whenever we have the time. Those with hopes of breaking through their fighting prowess can trainwell during this period—it’ll be best if those who are joining the competition can break through before thecompetition!” Nash finally said to everybody.

jackie slept after he returned to his room, training the following morning to continue stabilizing his fightingprowess. He was prepared to take a stroll in the afternoon.

Little did he expect he would stumble across three beauties, Daniella, Helena, and Venus of the Cabellofamily not long after he left the hotel.

“ jackie!” Daniella immediately walked toward jackie with a delighted heart upon seeing him. She hadpurposely brought her sisters to stroll around the hotel with hopes of meeting jackie.

“By the way, don’t care too much about what happened last night. My father has such a temperament.He’s actually a nice person, but he tends to be too stubborn.”

Chapter 1277 Daniella explained what happened yesterday with a smile as she walked toward him. Notonly was she afraid jackie would be upset about what happened yesterday, but she also feared he woulddistance himself from her because of it.

“Third Sister, why are you explaining that to this guy? Sure, he saved you, but we’ve returned the favorand don’t owe him anything!” fretted Helena as she grimaced.

“That’s right, Third Sister. Don’t forget that both families had our fair share of arguments during thecompetitions in the past!” Venus also reminded Daniella angrily. “Sister, Father had reminded you to notget too close with members of the White family. Do you get it? We’re afraid that you’re being used!”

Daniella stomped her leg anxiously and quickly explained, “Sister, jackie isn’t that sort of person!”

“Ladies, both of you are overthinking things. With the White family’s current position and situation, wecan’t compete with your Cabello family, and we don’t want to cause any trouble either. Apart from that, Idon’t use such means when I do something, so you can all relax!” jackie smiled indifferently beforespeaking to the two of them again, “Think about it, you two: If the White family wanted to do anything toDaniella, would you still have the chance to see her now?”

Helena crossed her arms at her chest as she refuted, “That’s not definite. Who knows what you peopleare thinking about.”

Venus, on the other hand, frowned as she noted something peculiar. “Young man, you addressed mysister as Daniella? Who allowed you to address her in such an intimate way? You’re really gutsy foraddressing my sister that way. I think you have thoughts about my sister. It’s true that men are perverts,and they’re all bad!”

Venus looked at Daniella at this point and said, “Daniella, you need to be careful. I think he’s being niceto you just for your beauty. There are no good men nowadays. I think he’s just a toad craving forsomething that’s out of his league!”

Surprisingly, Daniella blushed abashedly as she replied, “Sister, stop speaking nonsense! I… I was theone who asked him to address me as that. The two of us are really, really good friends right now, andhim calling me Daniella doesn’t mean anything!”

Helena and Venus were embarrassed when they heard this. They could not imagine that Daniella wasthe one who asked jackie to address her by her name.

They wondered if Daniella felt good toward jackie or had feelings for him because he rescued her.

At that moment, several people walked over and one of the men in white clothes said happily, “Oh, my!Aren’t these the three beauties of the Cabello family? We’re really lucky to bump into these ThreeGolden Flowers in our stroll!”

jackie also glanced at them, his expression darkened at that instant. He never expected to meetmembers of the Norman family again.

“Haha… Seems like we got a toad here, too!” spoke Keith disdainfully as he glanced at jackie. “Youngman, Ms. Daniella traveled with you people before, but why are you still following them when she’salready met up with the Cabello family? Are you thinking of ways to win the affections of these threeCabello beauties?”

“You should remember your identity,” Joshua Norman chimed in. “Your family is far beneath the Normanfamily. Apart from that, you’re just an illegitimate child who returned from the outside world. You aren’tworthy to be with any of them based on these facts!”

“You are not the ones to decide if I’m worthy or not.” jackie had a darkened expression on his face andgrew irritated.

Chapter 1278 “Haha… This means you’re really interested in getting the attention of our Third YoungMistress Cabello, no?” Joshua rubbed his fists when he heard what jackie said and eyed him playfully.“We, the onlookers, have great sight. Do you truly think the White family can be considered as a first-class aristocratic family? To us, you’re no different from those second-class aristocratic families!”

“Second Brother, let’s not waste time talking to this guy. Let me teach him a lesson so he’ll learn thedifference between him and the true first-class aristocratic family!” Conley walked two steps forward andballed his fists as Chi surged and covered his fists. It looked as if he had boxing gloves made of Chi.

“Don’t be careless, Third Brother. This guy might have a high fighting prowess and is in the real-godlevel’s initial stage. After all, he’s the White family master inheritor,” Joshua crossed his arms at his chestas he reminded his Third Brother when he noted how Conley was ready to fight.

However, Conley did not pay much attention to jackie. “Don’t worry—this guy’s just lucky. He had thechance because the talented Lance White of the White family had gone missing. He wouldn’t be thefamily master inheritor otherwise.” In his opinion, it was definite that jackie did not have a high fightingprowess and luck played a huge part in his journey to becoming the family master inheritor. After all, howpowerful would a guy who returned from the outside world be?

Nonetheless, Conley knew he could not kill jackie at that moment. After all, the competition had notstarted, and this guy was the White family master’s son. Killing him and falling out with the White familywas no good starter.

Still, that did not mean he could not beat some sense into jackie.

He came toward jackie in a flash and threw his fist at him.

Daniella knew how powerful jackie was and did not worry for him when hearing Conley’s threat. After all,Conley’s fighting prowess was only at the real-god level’s initial stage. “Haha! You just signed up for abeatdown!”

Such fighting prowess was really powerful before the White family’s prodigies, but they had no idea whatextraordinary talents jackie had compared to them.

“Hmph!” jackie wore an ominous smile. Tightening his fist, he intercepted the incoming punch withouteven using Chi.

“What?!” Keith and Joshua gasped when they noted how jackie did not use his Chi. This guy wasdownright arrogant. How dare he look down at their third brother like that?

They believed jackie failed to react because he had an incredibly low fighting prowess and vigilance. Itwas obvious his reflexes were slow to even activate his Chi and had to hurriedly meet Conley’s attack.

Well then, he might be badly hurt or suffer a fracture on his arm from Conley’s punch based on hisbrother’s combat powers.

However…

They did not expect that what happened next was a powerful explosion, and they saw Conley flyingbackward like a kite with broken strings at the next second. Vomiting blood, he staggered backward ashe landed on the ground before he managed to stabilize himself.

“What is this?!” This time, even Helena and Venus were stunned. They stared with widened eyes andopened mouths, wondering if their eyes played tricks on them.

After all, jackie managed to send Conley flying away without even using his Chi. What did this mean?This meant that jackie’s combat power was much stronger than his.

jackie, however, had an indifferent expression as he retracted his fists. He placed both hands behind hisback and, eyeing Conley, smilingly spoke, “How does that feel? Do you think you can easily bullymembers of the White family? The competition hasn’t even started, yet you dare attack someone on thestreets?”

Chapter 1279 “Hmph! This isn’t over, young man. Don’t forget: a person’s true combat power is assessedwith that person’s weapon and martial skills. And I haven’t used my full power either! I admit that I’veunderestimated you.” Conley was bitter as he had lost his dignity in front of three beautiful ladies.

Wiping the blood from the corners of his mouth, Conley flipped his hand and revealed a sword.

“A weapon?” jackie smiled and said, “Are you forgetting something?”

jackie also flipped his hand after he spoke and revealed the black sword.

“That… That flying sword is yours? You can use it to attack apart from flying?” Conley’s facial expressiondarkened when he saw that the sword in jackie’s hands was identical to the flying sword they sawpreviously, only smaller.

He thought that such a precious item would belong to Nash. Who would have thought that it wasjackie’s?

With that, they did not have any advantages in terms of weapons.

They knew that this sword was an upper-grade spiritual tool. Such a weapon was superior with his lower-grade spiritual tool at hand, and the sword in his hands was already a rare treasure.

Joshua and Keith, who were in the real-god level’s intermediate stage, glowered just like Conley.

It felt impossible to fight against jackie individually, but they could surely win if they attacked together.

However, it was a petty move if they attacked jackie together with the three Cabello beauties present.Would they not leave a bad impression on Helena, Venus, and Daniella if they teamed against jackie?

“What? Are we continuing the fight?” jackie asked with a smile when he saw them stunned.

Conley put the sword in his hand away and growled, “I’ll hold myself from hurting you now, young man,but you’d do well to remember this—I’ll settle this with you in the competition. By then, I won’t hold back.”

“Really? I hope that we can meet by then!” jackie chuckled, knowing how the other party held fearagainst him. Why else would they let him go?

“We’ll see then, young man!” ended Joshua and left with his two other brothers in a dejected manner.

Venus glanced at Helena and said softly, “Eldest sister, I think Conley underestimated jackie, so he didn’tgive it his all. Don’t you think so?”

“That has to be it,” Helena replied warily. “However, no matter how it is, this young man is at least in thereal-god level’s intermediate stage. This level of fighting prowess is incredible!”

Chapter 1280 “You’ve guessed correctly, Sister, he is in the real-god level’s intermediate stage. Isn’t hetalented? Although he had just broken through, Second Sister can’t beat him!” Daniella was filled withpride as she talked about jackie, admiring his brilliance and wisdom. She had lied to jackie that they hadslept together the other night when they were drunk, not thinking he would genuinely believe it and takeresponsibility.

jackie dared not comment on the matter and approach his wife about it—everything happened sosuddenly.

As for Daniella, she had already taken jackie as her boyfriend though she kept quiet about it, fearing herfamily would be outraged.

“What? I can’t beat him? Haha! My combat power is one of the highest among those in this level offighting prowess!” Venus refused to believe in Daniella’s words, frowning when she noted Daniella’spride-filled, awe-struck expression. “Daniella, have you fallen for him?”

Daniella reeled in shock at the sudden suggestion, and she quickly denied the idea with a wave of herhand. “W—What? Don’t make things up, Sister, I don’t like him!”

Alas, her guilty conscience gave her away in her reaction, and the blush on her face added the evidence.

“Look at you, you’re all shy and blushing! I think you really like him!” Venus was irritated as she warned,“Daniella, I’m telling you this: Our family has bad blood with theirs. Father will be extremely angry if helearns about this!”

“Nothing’s going on between us, Sister. Why don’t you believe me? Nothing’s happening!” Daniellastarted explaining again. She knew she could not say anything about their relationship at this moment,no matter what it was. Her parents would only accept if others saw jackie’s talents in the future and thateverybody knew how strong he was, or when the relationship between both families was better.

“Alright, alright! I believe in you.” Venus stopped insisting when she saw Daniella’s eyes turn red frombeing anxious. Instead, she glanced at jackie before speaking to Daniella, “Daniella, let me tell yousomething: Don’t be fascinated because he looks handsome. Most of the time, such a handsome man isunreliable, especially a man with a wife is even more unreliable.”

Daniella was ashamed, though she offered a sheepish smile. “I get it, Sister!”

“I best take my leave, girls. With you beautiful three ladies here, I’m afraid somebody will accuse me ofhaving motives if I stay longer.” jackie gave an awkward smile and gestured his hands at the three. He

realized that the hatred between the White family and the Cabello family was unusually deep, and itwould not be easy to resolve.

Helena glanced at jackie and said, “I acknowledged that you saved my sister before, young man, butdon’t expect us to let you win deliberately during the competition. Do you understand?”

“I know. I won’t let you girls win just like that either!” jackie turned around and slowly walked forward.

At that moment, a portly man came toward them with his clique. “Oh my, Helena, what a coincidence!Never thought we’d meet here!”

This man’s eyes lit up upon seeing the Cabello sisters. He strode toward them and grabbed Helena’shand in excitement.

“Young Master Hunt, please have some respect for yourself!”

Chapter 1281 Utterly displeased, Helena’s expression darkened as she quickly withdrew her hand fromYoung Master Hunt’s grip.

She would have gotten angry from the start had it been anyone else that held her hand so abruptly…butthe fat man before her was the Second Young Master Hunt. Not only was he overweight, but he likedwomen too and had always involved himself with them.

Alas, this fatty had a high fighting prowess and was talented in cultivating pills. Together with the fact thathe had materials to cultivate pills, his fighting prowess was naturally quite high.

Second Young Master Hunt laughed and said, “Helena, you’ve grown beautiful in my eyes. I told myfather that I should find a fiancée, and I think you’re the perfect fit!”

“Young Master Hunt, stop joking. I… I already have a boyfriend. Apart from that, I’m almost thirty and I’mseveral years older than you. We’re not fit for each other!” Helena was livid at his suggestion, but she

dared not ruin his image and could only smile embarrassingly.

Second Young Master Hunt replied with a smile when he heard this, “Haha! Don’t lie to me, First YoungMistress. Firstly, I like women who are several years older than me. Such women are much morecharming. My heart moved the moment you touched my hand, and I’ve never felt that before!”

Second Young Master Hunt paused here before he continued, “Secondly, you’re obviously lying to mewhen you said you had a boyfriend. I had asked around recently, and I know you don’t have a boyfriendyet. I plan to ask my father to ask your hand for marriage after this competition so I can make you myfiancée. We’ll get married and have children once we get to know each other more!”

“Mmph!” Helena mentally vomited three liters of blood. Asking her to marry him and have his childrenwas a much worse fate than killing her. His talent and his skills in cultivating pills were indisputable, buthe was awfully ugly.

Helena turned down many of the handsome young masters who wanted to date her. She had aheadache just thinking about this damned fatty asking her to marry him and have children with him.

“I swear I have a boyfriend!” Helena bit her red lips, and she instantly piped up when her line of sighthappened to land on jackie’s back, who was less than 100 meters away.

Their Cabello family and the White family did not have a good relationship. They hated each other, even,and this was a great chance to take. Not only could she make Second Young Master Hunt give up, butshe could also make him hate jackie. This was what people would say, killing two birds with one stone.

“ jackie, come here quickly!” She immediately waved her hand at jackie after she spoke.

jackie, who had not walked far away, turned his head back when he heard Helena called out to him fromfar away.

He frowned, though he still came toward them, not knowing why Helena called out to him.

“What is it? Why is the first young mistress looking for me?” jackie walked over and smiled at Helena.

Unexpectedly, Helena gave her a flirtatious gaze the next second and, walking toward him, held his armand said shyly, “You’re cruel! Just call me Helena. Don’t you like calling Helena?”

“Helena?” jackie frowned and was stunned.

“Yes, jackiey!” Helena responded by calling out shyly. She even shook jackie’s arm and looked sohelpless as she relied on him.

Chapter 1282 “ jackiey?” Daniella and Venus stared in disbelief, eyes wide open at the nickname.Speechless, they wondered if they heard wrongly.

Daniella, all the more, was frozen on the spot. Did her sister not detest jackie? What was she doing all ofa sudden?

Of course, she quickly caught on that Helena was using jackie to get rid of Second Young Master Hunt’sbadgering. She might be able to frame jackie with this.

jackie also understood what was going on and immediately shook Helena’s hand away, taking two stepsback. “First Young Mistress Cabello, please have some respect for yourself. I’m not interested in you,and I don’t want to be your shield.”

Second Young Master Hunt was initially enraged, but knowing what was happening, he grinned as hespoke, “You’re a good actress, Helena Cabello. I almost believed you!”

Helena was naturally unwilling to admit defeat just like that. She immediately caught up with jackie andhugged his arm. “ jackie White, how can you do this? Didn’t you say you’re no coward? What’s going on?How can you chicken out when a love rival suddenly pops up? You’ll lose me if you’re acting like this!”

jackie almost fainted; Helena truly was good at blaming others.

He got increasingly exasperated when Second Young Master Hunt did not seem to be any smarter. Hewas extremely angry when he saw Helena hugging jackie’s arm and growled, “Young man, is what she’ssaying true? Are you truly her boyfriend? Are you that suicidal to take a woman from me?”

“Second Young Master Hunt?” jackie had never met anybody from the Hunt family. He was ashamedwhen he heard how Second Young Master Hunt was addressed and immediately fell intoembarrassment. “Second Young Master, don’t misunderstand this. Why would I take a woman from you?Look at her: She’s the one who came to me, and there’s nothing between the two of us!”

Unable to tolerate the nonsense, Daniella walked forward and explained, “That’s right. Second YoungMaster Hunt, there’s nothing between my eldest sister and jackie. If you think about it properly,everything becomes clearer. Arrogant women like my sister look down on so many young masters. Howwould she even set eyes on jackie, this young master from the White family?”

“That’s right. Look, even the third young mistress had said it, so you shouldn’t believe in what the firstyoung mistress said.” jackie relaxed. Luckily, Daniella shared a close bond with him or he would neverclear his name no matter how hard he tried.

Helena was speechless. She never thought that her sister would speak for an outsider’s behalf,moreover did it in front of her. Did she hold jackie’s hand for nothing, then?

Helena always had a haughty streak in her. How could she admit defeat when she had finally come upwith a way to get rid of Second Young Master Hunt?

She turned her gaze and mumbled, “Alright, Third Sister… You like jackie too, don’t you? You want topush me to the Second Young Master Hunt to get him, don’t you…? H—How could y—you do this tome?”

Helena even deliberately sobbed as she spoke, “Third Sister, I’m telling you that I’ve been together withjackie for so long now, so you can’t think of breaking us up!”

Daniella was flabbergasted, not believing Helena would make things up like this just to harm jackie.However, her sister was right in one thing—she did like jackie.

She immediately responded, “Sister, what nonsense are you talking about? How can you harm jackie likethis? He saved my life!”

Helena finally realized that her sister was too kind. She must have stood forward to speak on his behalfbecause he saved her.

Chapter 1283 Nonetheless, Helena wanted to insist—she had gone too far to back down. Blushing, shespeculated, “Unbelievable, Third Sister… You’d want me to marry somebody else so you can have jackieall to yourself? You… You’re really too harsh!”

Second Young Master Hunt, standing by the side, completely flabbergasted. He had no idea who wastelling the truth and who was lying at that moment.

In the end, he looked at Venus and questioned, “Second Young Mistress, what’s the meaning of this?What’s going on between this jackie and your sister? Are they a couple?”

Venus glanced at Daniella then Helena before finally speaking, “Second Young Master Hunt, my…mysister and jackie truly are in a relationship. I just didn’t expect my third sister to have feelings for him too!”

“What? Who’s this young man that two young mistresses from the Cabello family liked?”

“That’s right. All three beauties are famous, yet they’re both infatuated with him? It seems like they’relove rivals!”

Several members of the Hunt family who stood behind Second Young Master Hunt started discussingamong themselves softly. Everything felt so unbelievable!

“Nonsense!” Second Young Master Hunt’s face darkened before he growled, “How can a member of theWhite family be worthy of the Cabello family’s beauties? Isn’t there a big difference between this youngman’s identity and yours?”

“Second Young Master Hunt, he’s the family master inheritor of the White family, and he’s likely to betheir family master in the future. I don’t think he’s not good enough for us!” Helena was slightly happywhen her second sister spoke on behalf of her. This time, jackie was completely done.

“I never thought you’d lie through your teeth, Second Sister!” Daniella looked at her second sister with ablushed face. Were they not driving jackie into hot soup? It would be troublesome if Second YoungMaster Hunt really hated jackie in the future.

Venus pulled Daniella to one side and said softly, “Daniella, this is a good chance to get rid of this guy. Ifwe get rid of jackie…” She chuckled lightly before she continued, “The White family will have one lesstrue prodigy, and Father will be very happy then! You should stop remembering him as your savior, doyou understand? We don’t owe him anything!”

“But… But…” Overridden with anxiety, Daniella glanced at jackie, who stood not too far, and spoke in ahalf-whisper, “I… I really like him, and I’m already in a relationship with him. I just dare not tell Father yetas the timing is not right!”

Venus was extremely surprised, red lips parted in her shock as she struggled to process the situation.“Preposterous! Stop scaring me, Daniella. The hatred between our families didn’t just come up in theserecent one or two years. Even if our relationship isn’t as rigid as it used to be, I’m sure Father won’tagree to the two of you being together. How can you fall for the enemies’ son?”

“Second Sister, you can’t tell anyone about this. You have to keep it a secret!” Daniella pulled her secondsister’s hand and pleaded, “Please don’t push jackie into trouble. I’ll kill myself if he dies!”

Chapter 1284 Stupefied at Daniella’s revelation, the speechless Venus felt like she was in an awkwardpredicament.

She gazed at Daniella before saying, “Third sister, I…I’ve just said something about it. How can I take itback, and how would our eldest sister not hate me for it if I did? Mind you, she’s in a sticky situationthat’s hard to get out of!”

“But… But…” Daniella was left in a disarray, not knowing what to do.

Running thin on his patience, Second Young Master Hunt yelled, “Hey, hey, hey! What are the two of youspeaking about over there?”

“It’s… It’s nothing!” Venus smiled embarrassingly and rejoined them with Daniella. “Second YoungMaster Hunt, you‘re a handsome gentleman and are the Hunt family’s second young master. Are youafraid that no beautiful woman would like you? I’m sure that there are many talented women out therewho’ll want to marry you!”

Daniella immediately agreed to it. “That’s right, Second Young Master! You’re also a master in cultivatingpills and have a high fighting prowess, and I’m sure many beautiful ladies adore you. Why have eyes formy eldest sister?”

Second Young Master Hunt was taken aback at their words and, glancing at both Daniella and Venus, hegulped as he breathlessly speculated, “Are you two saying that you like me?”

That shocked Daniella as she quickly explained, “No, what we meant to say is that how can somebodylike you have so few admirers, am I right? So there’s no need for you to think of us, right?”

“That’s right, Second Young Master. Look… I already have a lover, so you should forget about me. I’malso old, right?” Helena smiled embarrassingly.

“But there aren’t many beauties like you. I like beauties and they like me, but I still like the three of you asyou’re all true beauties with individual characteristics!” Second Young Master Hunt had no plans to giveup.

“About that… Second Young Master, I’ve been with jackie for so long now, and I… I’m not a virginanymore, and I’ve already done the deed with him. So… a prodigy like you don’t have to have adeflowered woman like myself, don’t you think so?” lied Helena through gritted teeth after making sureno one else was in the vicinity.

“I…” jackie was speechless, never expecting that the First Young Mistress Cabello would say such athing to get rid of this Second Young Master Hunt. Was she not ruining her reputation?

“What about you? You still plan to deny it?” Helena rolled her eyes at jackie flirtatiously as she was afraidjackie would continue to refute. Her eyes seemingly quavered helplessly as she gazed at him, however.

jackie glanced at Second Young Master Hunt, noting that he indeed seemed peculiar. Apart from that, itseemed like this guy had his fair share of women by the tone of how Helena and the others spoke, and itwould be a tragedy to see a beauty like Helena marrying such a man.

Sure enough, Second Young Master Hunt’s expression darkened when he heard what Helena said. Hehad heard all this time that the three young mistresses of the Cabello family were sophisticated and didnot have boyfriends. He adored Helena, head over heels for her.

That was why the news of her giving herself to the White family’s young master took him by surprise.

“I don’t believe it.” He was still furious after thinking it through. “Hmph! The Cabellos have a badrelationship with the White family, and I don’t believe that you’re actually with this guy, unless…unlessyou prove it to me!”

Chapter 1285 Helena’s expression seemed to sour as she hugged jackie’s arm, saying, “Isn’t this…enough to prove it? How else do you want me to prove it when the two of us are acting this way?”

The last thing she expected was for the Second Young Master Hunt to insist, “Haha! Didn’t you alreadygive yourself to him? Do you two dare to kiss on the streets? If you don’t, this means that you’re lying tome!”

Second Young Master Hunt grew increasingly angry as he disdainfully added, “Helena Cabello, I’m theHunt family’s young master. If you dare toy with me, I’ll ask your father for your hand in marriagetomorrow; it’d be best if our powerful families can come together. Should you disagree to our union, I’llhave my father wipe out the entire Cabello family. Hmph!”

“You…” Helena reddened in anger, not expecting the Second Young Master Hunt to go to such extremeswith the lives of the Cabello family members.

Second Young Master Hunt had both his hands behind his back as he arrogantly declared, “Why? Youdon’t dare to? Haha! If so, this means that you’re toying with me. I’m not like the young masters from theother families: the women I have my eyes on can never escape. I don’t care if you’re not a virgin. I’ll get ataste of the First Young Mistress Cabello, even if it means I have to interfere in a love affair!”

Helena was extremely angry yet helpless; things would be irreversible if such a man genuinely asked herfather for her hand in marriage.

After all, everybody knew that the Hunt family had two sons, but the one the Hunt family master favoredthe most was his second son. His son was undeniably talented, but he, more importantly, knew how tocultivate pills. Had he been a more diligent person and trained more, his fighting prowess would havebeen higher than the eldest young master.

Although the eldest young master was not as talented as the second young master, he was not bad. Ashe did not like to speak much and loved training in silence, the eldest young master had an obviously

higher fighting prowess compared to the second young master.

“Who says I don’t dare to?” In her anger and bitterness, Helena turned and came toward jackie withgritted teeth.

Before jackie managed to react, she stood on her tiptoes and, wounding her arms around his neck,kissed him on the lips.

“No way!” Venus was extremely surprised when she saw this scene as she then glanced at Daniella, whowas beside her, in a peculiar way. She had no idea what to say as their eldest sister had actually…for…

“What…?” Daniella was speechless and she had a weird expression on her face.

However, she eventually understood what her eldest sister was experiencing. She would not want tomarry the Second Young Master Hunt, too.

“Oh my god…” Many of the passersby on the street were stunned when they saw this. Nobody couldever imagine that the Cabello family’s first young mistress would kiss a man in the streets.

Helena shyly took two steps backward after several kisses and blushingly stuttered, “Alright, do…do youbelieve it now?”

“Never thought my goddess would be preempted by this guy!” Second Young Master Hunt obviouslybelieved Helena after that. Fists balled tightly, he then turned to jackie as he resentfully growled, “Next-in-line to be the White family’s master, huh? Wait for it, young man. I won’t kill you now, but you can’tblame me during the competition!

“Let’s go!” Second Young Master Hunt waved his hand after he spoke and left with his people.

Chapter 1286 Helena spit a few times right after the Second Young Master Hunt left the scene. She wasso disgusted that she spit and wiped her mouth several times.

“Haha! Missy, you’re really something. You’re willing to sacrifice your first kiss to frame me!”

jackie chuckled at the side. “This is the downfall of trying to harm people! Also, don’t forget, it was mewho helped you out this time. You owe me a favor!” jackie added.

Helena shot jackie a deadly glare upon hearing his words. “From what I see, you’re taking advantage ofme! And you actually dare to say that I owe you a favor?”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk. If it wasn’t for me, the Second Young Master Hunt would have brought his men and goneover to your Cabello family to ask for your hand in marriage. Shouldn’t you thank me for saving you fromhim?”

jackie sneered coldly. In jackie’s eyes, she brought the trouble upon herself.

Nonetheless, he quickly thought of something and wheeled his head, facing Daniella who stood not faraway from them. The current Daniella was full of loath and hatred; her face sank into the deepest abyssand she could not be more unhappy. She pouted.

She saw with her own eyes this time, that jackie and Helena…

“Daniella, I did not expect that to happen. Your sister…”

jackie approached Daniella and explained to her in an embarrassed tone.

Daniella gave a bitter smile. She quickly calmed down and said, “Well, I know. It’s not like you initiate it,how can I blame you? Besides, my sister had no other options then. That Second Young Master hunt istoo abominable!”

Speaking of which, Daniella’s face turned solemn. “The Second Young Master Hunt has now targetedyou. I’m worried that he would play tricks against you during the tournament. We’re not clear with the

rules of this tournament up until now. I’m afraid that he would talk to his father and plot against you! Theymight set unreasonable rules just to bring you down!”

jackie’s brow snapped together at Daniella’s concerns. “It shouldn’t be possible, right? After all, there areso many families participating in this competition. If the competition is biased against a certain family, it’dbe unjust, and everyone would know! The Hunt family is the strongest among the eight shadow families.If they really did that, their reputation and image would be ruined.

“Daniella, why are you worried for this fella?”

Helena interjected when she saw her sister chatting happily with jackie. And when she thought of herkiss with jackie a moment ago, she was furious and disgusted. But, at the same time, she could not thinkof a better way to deal with the situation.

“Sis, it’s all your fault! If it weren’t for you, jackie wouldn’t have been targeted by the Second YoungMaster Hunt.”

Daniella looked at Helena in exasperation. Although jackie possessed excellent combat prowess andmartial status, it would still be a headache if the Hunt family decided to target him. After all, the SecondYoung Master Hunt was much stronger than the Young Master of the Norman family.

“I…I had no choice. Daniella, do you truly want to see your big sister marry that fat *ss? Besides, didn’tyou hear what he said? If I didn’t kiss jackie, he’d think that I was fooling him and he’ll make his fatherfight the Cabello family!”

Helena explained with an aggrieved expression on her face. “What else could I do? Although I’ve lost myfirst kiss and it was a big loss to me, I was out of wit at that moment. The Second Young Master Hunt isthe apple of his father’s eyes! It’d be more difficult to deal with if they ordered an attack on the Cabellofamily!”

Chapter 1287 “Hmmm, but I don’t think that will happen. Although the Hunt family is strong, the Cabello family is notweak either. Thus, I believe that if the Hunt family were to attack the Cabello family, they’d experience agrave loss as well. And if the loss is too huge, it might jeopardize their number one position among theeight shadow families!”

jackie chimed in after giving the matter some thoughts.

However, Helena rolled her eyes at jackie’s analysis. “That’s because you don’t understand Master Huntat all. The head of the Hunt family is a domineering and bossy person, it’s just that he hasn’t reached theultimate god level. If there’s someone on earth who can break through to the ultimate god realm, thatsomeone would be Master Hunt. He has been at the peak of the true god realm for many years. Hiscombat ability is no joke. His martial status is on par with two or even three martial practitioners whosecombat prowess is at the peak of true god realm.”

“Is he that strong?”

jackie was taken aback by Helena’s words, and shock dawned upon his heart. No wonder the SecondYoung Master Hunt was so prideful and arrogant. jackie truly did not expect that the Hunt family would bethis strong. They were stronger than he thought. It seemed that he had underestimated the Hunt family’scombat ability.

“ jackie, please be careful. The tournament has yet to start and your White family is a first-class family,the Second Young Master hunt will still have some scruples. So I bet he won’t make a move against younow. But, perhaps, during the tournament, he won’t be so nice!”

Daniella bit her rosy pink and alluring lips and said, “The Second Young Master Hunt is at the middlestage of the true god realm, and he has been stuck there for some time. His combat prowess is morepowerful and stronger than my sister’s.” She paused and then added, “If he manages to break through tothe late stage of the true god realm, his combat ability would be more frightening! What’s scarier is that

the Hunt family has powerful martial arts and techniques for them to train, and these arts and techniquesare not something we can compete with!”

“Daniella, thanks for worrying about me. I need to leave now.”

It was awkward to stay there any longer. Hence jackie showed a small smile and bid the sisters goodbye.

Daniella breathed out a huge sigh. Her mood was affected. She then walked toward the direction of thehotel where she was staying. She was not in the mood for shopping right now.

“Daniella is out of her mind. She knew that our Cabello family is not on good terms with the White family.After I did that, not only did it get me out of trouble, but it’ll also create trouble for the White family, isn’tthis a good thing? Why is she in such a bad mood?”

Helena and Venus were mumbling and complaining behind.

“Big sister, didn’t you know that Daniella is fond of jackie? And that the two of them are actually acouple? It’s just that she dared not tell Father. And now that you’ve caused her lovely boyfriend to be insuch a dangerous situation, how can she be in a good mood? Didn’t you see how worried she was forjackie?” Venus whispered into Helena’s ear.

“…”

Helena was completely dumbfounded. She remained silent and uttered, “The two of them…are acouple? Jesus Christ, just now I…” Her face distorted.

“Ahem, don’t worry. Daniella won’t blame you. She saw the situation just now, and you had no better ideaat that time.”

Venus immediately comforted Helena.

On the other side, the Second Young Master Hunt entered his residence huffily and slammed the doorbehind loudly. He flipped his palm and a second-grade elementary pill appeared on his palm. “That Whiteb*stard. Humph! Initially, I didn’t plan to participate in the tournament, but since he treated me that way,I’ll start training now and breakthrough to the late stage of the true god realm then I’ll kill all the masterswith the surname White. I’ll let him know what the consequences are if you’ve offended me!”

Chapter 1288 It was said that the Second Young Master Hunt’s talent in martial art was extraordinary. He managed tofully absorb the essence of the second-grade elementary pill at one shot. He had successfully brokenthrough to the late stage of the true god realm.

Such talent was rare. With his current martial status and combat prowess, many family elders were nothis match not to mention the young generation of masters. Besides, the Hunt family possessed excellentmartial techniques and high-grade weapons.

Days passed by quickly.

jackie, who had returned to the hotel, was worried that the Second Young Master Hunt would find troublewith him. However, this guy was somewhat trustworthy and stuck to his promise that he would not.

Nonetheless, at this time, the head of the Cabello family—Alejandro Cabello, heard some news from thestreet.

He angrily commanded Helena’s presence in his room. “Helena, what’s wrong with you? When I wasstriding on the street, I heard people talking about the First Young Mistress of the Cabello family kissingthe Young Master of the White family! You must supply me with a really good explanation this time!”

Helena was rendered speechless. She would not want any news about that incident to reach any ears ofthe Cabello family. She thought she could escape by not going out that frequently as there were not

many people that day and little to no people knew jackie. Since the tournament was in a few days, shethought that it would keep them busy and they would not find out about that incident.

Helena truly did not expect that his Father heard about the rumors from the street just a day before thetournament!

She smiled awkwardly and explained, “Dad, that…that did happen… But, I had no other choice at thattime!”

“You were forced to do so?”

Rage flowed through Alejandro like lava that his face changed into a different shade. He clenched histeeth and asked, “Do you know your surname is Cabello? Our family has a long-standing feud with theWhite family! Our relationship is not grave to an extent that we want to wipe out each other, but all alongI don’t want you to interact with any of them! There are skirmishes between the Cabellos and the White!Now, look at you, you’ve disgraced me!”

“Dad!”

Helena was speechless. “I really had no other choice at that time! I was pestered by the Second YoungMaster Hunt that day. That fella said he wanted to come to the Cabello family to ask for my hand inmarriage! He asked me to marry him, won’t you feel angry too? I don’t want to marry him! I’d rather find arandom person to get married to!” Helena stomped her feet angrily.

“What!”

Alejandro gasped at the new information; shock gripped him.

He remained silent for a moment before he nodded, “You’re telling me that the Second Young MasterHunt planned to come to our house and propose to you? And that’s why you lied to him by saying that

you have a boyfriend? And it just so happened that jackie was there, so you used him and kissed him tomake the other party believe in your claims?”

Helena bobbed her head. “Yes. I feel that this is a little mean because the target is on jackie now, but Iwas out of my wits at that time, I really don’t want to marry him! Besides, I was afraid that because of me,the Hunt family would come looking for trouble with the Cabello family. Although the Cabello family isstrong, compared to the Hunt family, we’re like an ant before an elephant!”

Alejandro nodded after knowing the truth. “Helena, don’t take it to heart. It will pass. Indeed, it was a littlecruel to jackie. After all, he saved your sister’s life before. But you’ve no other choice then, so pleasedon’t give yourself too much pressure on this matter!”

Helena pursed her red lips and nodded slightly. “The Second Young Master Hunt warned jackie fiercely.He said that he’ll participate in the tournament and if he meets jackie, he’ll kill him!”

Chapter 1289 “I’m not sure about jackie’s martial status. If it’s high, it shouldn’t be that easy to kill him.” Alejandroresponded after giving some thoughts on the matter.

“Daniella said that jackie has reached the middle stage of the true god realm. Moreover, that fella’s talentis extremely extraordinary!”

At this moment, Helena’s thought ran back to the scene where she and jackie shared a kiss on thestreet. She could not help but blush at the thought. That was her first kiss; she never expected her firstkiss would be taken away by jackie just like that.

The only thing that comforted Helena was that jackie was quite good-looking. If he were ugly andunsightly, Helena would have banged her head against the wall, feeling like she had lost somethingprecious.

“Middle stage of the true god realm? His martial status is not bad at all. Hmmm. Why do I feel that histalent is much stronger than yours?”

Alejandro smiled bitterly. “The White family finally has an extraordinary martial master. If they continue togrow like it, wouldn’t it be bad for us?”

Alejandro paused before continuing, “If the Second Young Master Hunt could defeat and kill jackie in thetournament, it might not be a bad thing at all. After all, we’re not on good terms with the White family, andwe don’t know what the future is like. That brat came back from the secular world, and he managed toreach this state, which is incredibly talented. If he were to continue to improve, breaking through to thepeak of the true god realm is not an impossible task!”

“Sigh! Do you think the White family will blame me for his death when the time comes? After all, I’m theculprit for making jackie the target of the Hunt family!”

Helena sighed aloud; she was overwhelmed by her conscience.

“Silly girl!”

Alejandro hastened to comfort. “The world works in such a way that the weak are always the prey to thestrong. You did nothing wrong. Besides, even if jackie was killed by the Hunt family, the murder is doneduring the tournament. Even if Nash White feels unhappy, he has to swallow his anger, because thetournament’s rules are set by many powerful families together. It doesn’t matter if jackie was the one whokilled the other party or vice versa, both parties are not allowed to take revenge and pursue further!”

“But, the Second Young Master Hunt is not a kind man. I’m afraid that he will not only target jackie butalso the rest of the men in the White family. If too many men from the White family die on that day, I don’tthink Nash will sit aside and abide by the rules!”

Helena gave a dry smile. Although she knew that the Cabello family was not on good terms with theWhite family, she never wanted to stir up any trouble for the White family. It would be more troublesomein the future.

“All right, don’t overthink this matter anymore. You must not affect your heart and spirit. If it does, it willaffect your future breakthrough to the next level, understand?”

Alejandro reminded Helena gently, then added, “Go back and rest early. Tomorrow we’ll depart in themorning for the tournament. Please prepare yourself and do your best in the tournament. After all, this isa matter of the Cabello family’s reputation!”

“Okay!”

Helena bobbed her head and left the room.

Time passed quickly. On the next morning, the major families among the hidden families, including theeight shadow families, dozens of second-class families, and some third-class families had set off to thetournament. They headed straight to the Kobe Mountain outside the city.

Chapter 1290 “That’s so amazing! Young Master jackie, thank you so much! If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have had thechance to break through to the peak of the true god realm!”

On the way to Kobe Mountain, the First Elder of the White family—Kenneth White—said with immensejoy.

“Hehe, you’re welcome. It’s only a matter of time for you to break through to the peak of the true godrealm. We’re all family, there’s nothing to thank me for!”

jackie chuckled and responded nonchalantly.

Nash—who was beside jackie—was worried; his face sank. “ jackie, I heard that you’ve offended theSecond Young Master of the Hunt family, and the other party had even warned you about killing you inthe tournament. So when the tournament starts, you have to be extremely careful and pay full attentionto your opponent!” Nash said to jackie.

jackie nodded and smiled, “Father, don’t worry. My combat prowess and martial status are not low, it’snot easy for him to kill me. Besides, I have the ultimate-grade spiritual weapon, remember? If I can’t fightanymore, I’ll run. He can’t catch up with me.”

Nash felt relieved at jackie’s words and laughed, “Oh, you’re right! I almost forgot about the weapon!”

“We don’t know how the tournament rules are going to be. But if that Second Young Master Hunt wantsto fight against Young Master jackie in the tournament, it won’t be easy, right? After all, there are somany other contestants in the competition!”

Yolanda Lagorio—who had broken through from the early stage to the middle stage of the true god realm—gave her two cents after thinking about the whole situation.

“But, don’t forget this time the tournament’s rules are all set by the Hunt family. If they insist on fightingagainst jackie in the tournament, I don’t think we can avoid that!”

Nash let out a bitter smile and said, “In the past, we didn’t have to be careful with the Lagorio family; theyeven helped us in the tournament. But this year, everything is different. We not only need to guardagainst the Hunt family but also the Lagorio family. I’m afraid that we’ll experience a big loss if they targetour men!”

Titus White—who was beside them—opined with a gloomy face. The young generation of the Whitefamily possessed good talent. Within these two months, several young masters gained breakthroughs intheir martial arts and techniques; the overall combat prowess was one level above than before.

However, the White family still seemed feeble compared to the other seven families whose foundationand heritage were built decades ago. In the past, the White family had help from the Lagorio family inthese tournaments, plus the other seven families tried not to offend each other, hence the loss was notbig in such tournaments.

But the situation was not quite the same this year. Not only did the White family have to fight without thehelp of the Lagorio family, but they had also offended many people from first-class families. Even worse,some second-class families who were at a similar level with the White family, could not wait to pull themdown from the first-class family status. This time, the crisis that the White family had to face was ahundred times worse than before.

“Everyone, please be careful and be fully focused during the tournament! Several young masters fromthe Norman family seem to dislike Young Master jackie as well. So, we have to put our guards up againstthe Norman family too!”

Titus reminded the group with a bitter smile after realizing something important.

Yule White, on the other hand, pouted and expressed in an exasperated tone, “It’s not easy for me tobreak through to the late stage of the demi-god realm. Hmph! I thought I would be able to achieve goodresults this time, but looking at this situation, this tournament is big trouble for us!”

Beth White laughed out loud at the side, “Yule, don’t think too much, okay? How much better results canyou get? It’d be considered fortunate if we were able to defeat some of those second-class families. OurWhite family has always been at the bottom of the eight shadow families’ list. We were at the bottom inthe past, so I think it’ll be the same this year too. As for the Lagorio family, nah, they won’t be able todefeat us!”

“Sister Beth, I’m truly envious of you! You’ve broken through to the early stage of the true god realm. It’dbe great if I could break through to the true god realm as well!”

Yule stared at Beth with an envious expression on her face.

“There’s nothing to be envious of because I’m older than you! You, sooner or later, will break through tothe true god realm!”

Chapter 1291 “Right, the best I could do is to break through to the peak of the true god realm. After that, I can’t go anyfurther, so I’ll be waiting for you there. After all, the ultimate god realm is just a myth; it’s too unreliable;it’s completely legendary. If there’s really a way to reach the ultimate god level, I think we would havefound it already!”

“Hmmm…about the ultimate god realm, since everyone is talking about it, I think maybe it’s true!”

jackie, however, smiled and chimed in, “Only that the route to this ultimate god realm is extremelydifficult. Perhaps, the link that connects to the ultimate god realm had broken during the passing down.But I do think the ultimate god realm did exist in the past.” He added.

Just when the group was happily exchanging opinions, they had arrived at the entrance to the forestunder Kobe Mountain.

Outside the forest, there was a spacious meadow. Many families had arrived and gathered at the field infront of the forest.

“The White family is here!”

A man, who sat on the grass, saw that the White family had arrived, quickly announced their arrival tothe others.

“Hehe! I heard that Lance of the White family is highly likely dead. And the head of the White family—Nash White—decided to make his illegitimate son the heir of the head of the White family. That

illegitimate son has good talent; the White family is actually solely relying on their younger masters to getsuch a position!”

An old man chortled aloud and said to the people next to him.

“His talent is indeed excellent. But that brat offended the Second Young Master of the Hunt family! So, Ithink they’re in big trouble this time!”

A young man responded with a cold laugh.

“What? No way! How could he offend the Second Young Master Hunt? They don’t even know each other,right?”

The young man’s speech had sparked interest in the surrounding people.

“It happened like this…”

The young man gathered the people, only then he started telling everyone what he had heard.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Really? I’m so jealous of that brat! He got a kiss from Helena Cabello, the First YoungMistress of the Cabello family? Any of the young mistresses of the Cabello family is my dream woman!Any of them can be called the queen of beauty! And that brat was…was actually kissed by one of them!”

Another young man expressed his jealousy upon listening to it.

“Hehe! What’s there to be envious of? Soon that brat will be sent to hell. If he is dead, it’d be uselesseven if he had a beauty by his side! Now, which one is more important? Life or beautiful woman?”

The old man from before said with a laugh.

“If I was kissed by such a beautiful woman, I’m willing to die a hundred times!”

The young man, on the other hand, said smilingly, “Moreover, didn’t this young man tell us about it? ThatHelena Cabello is no longer pure. Just thinking of the scene makes my every cell dance excitedly! Sigh!That brat is really lucky to have such a beautiful girl!” He drooled and further added, “Besides, that brat isthe heir of the head of the White family, the Second Young Master Hunt wouldn’t dare to kill him withoutany reason, right? Also, they have to meet each other in the tournament for that to happen, right?”

After hearing that, the old man nodded in agreement. “This is true. Although he’s being targeted by theHunt family, his social status and position is still noble. As long as they don’t meet each other in thetournament, there shouldn’t be a problem!”

Chapter 1292 “Look, over there, the Cabello family is here!”

Just as jackie and the others had found a place to sit down, the field once again became lively due to thearrival of the Cabello family.

jackie gazed in a specific direction, indeed, the Cabello family slowly appeared in his sight not far away.

“Heh, this is my first time seeing the three sisters of the Cabello family! I can’t wait to see them!”

Some young men had long heard that the three sisters of the Cabello family were good-looking andalluring. Their eyes could hardly contain their excitement and delight.

“They’re all beautiful, stunning! But it’s a pity that the First Young Mistress is taken by a man calledjackie. I’m so jealous!”

Some men, on the other hand, felt pity and lamented.

“Sigh! The First Young Mistress is not young anymore, she’s almost in her thirties, and should actuallyget married by now. Such a woman, her beauty is already in full bloom. I’m truly jealous of that brat! It

looks like what we have left is the Second Young Mistress or the Third Young Mistress, we’ve to find away to please them!”

A fat guy drooled and swallowed hard just by looking at Daniella and the others across the field.

Several guys, who stood beside the fatty, stared at the pig-like fatty with a disgusted look on their faces.With a pig-like face, it was already considered as fortunate if he could find a wife, not to mention to havethe Second or the Third Young Mistress Cabello as his wife. He was like an idiot talking about hisfantasy.

The Cabello family chose a place not far away from the White family and sat down to take a break.

Complicated feelings and thoughts dawned upon Helena when she saw jackie from afar.

She did not think much about it when the incident happened that day. But within these two days, shereplayed the scene again and again in her mind and pondered on it, realizing that jackie helped her withno other intention.

She falsely accused jackie and jackie tried to refute it at first. jackie could have continued to refute bysaying that they were not in a relationship after she forcibly kissed him.

But jackie did not do so. He stood there and remained silent and let the show continue, which eventuallymade the Second Young Master Hunt believe that they were a real couple, and in the end, he left thescene huffily.

If on that day, jackie insisted that he had nothing to do with Helena, the Second Young Master Huntwould have not believed what Helena had claimed—that they were a couple.

If that truly happened, the Second Young Master Hunt would certainly be angry at Helena, blaming herfor fooling him. Then he might stir up trouble with the Cabello family—by proposing a marriage withHelena. And if the Cabello family were to disagree, a fight would be born.

“What the heck was he thinking that day? Why did he choose to help me at the very last moment?”

Helena murmured to herself, her eyes fixated at jackie, full of dazzlement.

“First Young Mistress Cabello, what a surprise!”

Several men from the Norman family approached her out of the blue.

Keith Norman gazed at Helena and the corners of his mouth curled upward, forming a perfect arc.“Strange. Before we came to Kobe City, we saw that the Third Young Mistress Cabello was close withthe Young Master of the White family. Tsk, tsk. It’s really out of my imagination that the First YoungMistress is also jackie’s girlfriend?” He exclaimed loudly on purpose.

Daniella was still feeling salty in her heart, although she knew that her sister had no other choice underthat circumstance. “Keith Norman, what does this have to do with you? Who is close with jackie is totallynone of your business!” Daniella shot up from the ground and said in anger.

Keith did not expect Daniella to be so disrespectful to him, hence he decided not to give in. “I’m justcurious. You see, you said before that you and jackie are good friends, extremely ‘good’ friends. Andaccording to the timeline, your sister has not known jackie for that long, right? Should be later than you,right? Then how did their relationship develop so quickly?”

Chapter 1293 “How does this concern you? Can’t they fall in love at first sight? What’s wrong with that?”

Daniella huffed. She was so angry that she could feel anger thrummed through her veins. She wasalready upset with the incident, who knew Keith Norman would deepen the wound in her heart by tryingto pick a fight.

Helena sensed the enraging anger from her sister and felt sorry for her. She only thought of getting rid ofthat damned Young Master Hunt that day and did not expect jackie to be Daniella’s boyfriend. If she had

known it earlier, she would not have done that.

Only two people knew about the relationship between Daniella and jackie, which were herself andVenus. They did not dare to tell Alejandro; they could only pretend as if they did not know anything.

“Heh, I intend to clarify that. Your sister is so beautiful. It’s such a pity for her to be with an illegitimateb*stard.”

Keith sneered, smilingly. “To my surprise, it turns out that it’s not so difficult to get the daughters of theCabello family!”

“Haha! He’s right! All along we thought that the Cabello ladies are hard to pursue. They seemed distantand full of pure and noble aura. We didn’t think that they’re actually sl*tty in their bones! And get laid bythe young master of the White family!”

Several guys chimed in and mocked like sour grapes. Jealousy rushed through their mind, especiallythose men who fell head over heels for the First Young Mistress Cabello.

Many of them looked at jackie fiercely as if jackie had taken their wives away, wanting to tear him apart.

“What’s wrong? The male lead of this drama, why don’t you come out and give a speech? You can talkabout your triumph feeling for winning the Cabello ladies.”

Here, the Second Young Master of the Norman family—Joshua Norman—interrupted and looked downhis nose at jackie. “You’re composed, aren’t you? Do you know how many men here are envious ofyou?” He mocked.

“ jackie, are you and Helena really in a relationship?”

Nash—who sat next to jackie—had his brows snapped together and asked, “You didn’t meet her before,did you? I think if you’ve not met her before, you should stand out and explain yourself clearly. A lot of

men are fond of Helena, and I’m afraid that it’ll become a disadvantage to you in the tournament,although some of them may not be your opponent!”

Nevertheless, jackie sneered nonchalantly, “Father, there’s nothing to explain. The mouth is on theirfaces, we can’t control their mouths, so they can say what they like. Helena had a hard time then, if Istand out at this time, the Cabello family…”

“You…”

Nash was tongue-tied at jackie’s answer. From what he heard, he realized that Helena and jackie weredefinitely not in a relationship, and to get rid of Young Master Hunt at that time, Helena had no otherchoice but to kiss jackie.

But if jackie did not stand out and explain, the White family would be in trouble!

“Sigh! Fine, you’re not young anymore. I’ll support you anyway!”

When Nash thought of what he owed jackie and Joan over the years, he smiled and gave his support.

He did not blame jackie; if his son chose to do it, he must have a reason. Besides, if it were not forjackie, he would probably be a cold body by now. Hence, his view toward life was simple, as long as heand his family could live peacefully and harmoniously every day, he was content.

“Don’t you blame me?”

jackie was stunned at his father’s reaction. He was surprised that Nash did not reprimand him.

“Haha, you’re my son, and as a Father, I believe in you and I support you. I don’t blame you!”

Nash patted on jackie’s shoulder, chortling.

Chapter 1294 Warmth spread across jackie’s chest. He smiled. “Don’t worry. The First Elder is already at the peak ofthe true god status. I’m not too shabby either. When I’ve broken through the advanced stage of the truegod status, we won’t have to be afraid of the Cabello family or the Hunt family anymore!”

Nash bobbed his head. Now that the First Elder had achieved the peak of the true god status, theirfighting strength had been significantly increased.

More importantly, although jackie had just achieved the intermediate stage of the true god status, he hada keen fighting talent. Along with that ultimate-grade spiritual tool, the White family would grow evenstronger if jackie continued to improve his martial level.

“Oh my. I never thought that he would be such a coward. Hah. I really don’t understand why First YoungMistress Cabello would like a coward!”

When Keith saw that jackie did not supply an answer, he became even bolder in his taunting, not caringabout the White family at all.

“Why doesn’t he try to explain himself?”

Alejandro looked at jackie, frowning. His daughter was with jackie not because they were in arelationship, and the White family was on bad terms with his family. Logically, jackie should explaineverything. If jackie refused to admit to anything, not only would the Cabello family suffer, Helena wouldlose face as well.

Yet although jackie was being wrongfully accused, he chose to keep silent. While Alejandro was plentyconfused, he was actually delighted as well.

“Do you have a death wish, Keith?”

Helena could not bear to watch on any longer. “Whatever relationship I have with him, and the type ofmen I like—none of it is your business!” she huffed. “Are you telling me that I can’t be in love?”

“Tsk tsk. You’re mad because we said that your man is a coward?”

Joshua stood up as well, grinning. “Young Miss Cabello, we did not mean to be rude. But you and yoursisters are the captors of our hearts. And jackie is an illegitimate son from the mortal realm—a cat tryingto be a lion is still a cat at heart. We don’t want a beautiful woman like you to marry a dog!”

“You…”

Helena was so furious that her face purpled. She clenched her teeth and strode over to sit together withDaniella and the others. “You’d better pray that you don’t run into me in the competition. I’ll make sureyou see red otherwise!”

“A dog?”

Nobody expected jackie, who had been keeping quiet all this time, to slowly stand up with a cold smileon his face.

“What’s wrong? Hit a nerve there once it’s about you?”

Joshua gave a cold smile and clenched his fists. “If you’re that angry, why don’t we have a show ofstrength?”

“All right then. I have no right to deny the great Young Master Norman a duel!”

jackie also gave a cold smile. In a flash, he flew into the sky.

“So fast!”

Many of the youth exclaimed when they saw this.

“That speed is definitely one of the true god status. He definitely has talent. No wonder he’s the heir ofthe White family!”

Some of the young masters from second-class families stared at him with admiration.

“He may be strong, but the second young master of the Norman family has already broken into theintermediate stage of the true god status. Can this master from the White family match up to him?”

Someone flashed a bitter smile. “That punk from the White family will only invite trouble now, since hewas unable to rein his anger. Heh. He’s too reckless!”

“No way about it. You probably wouldn’t be able to hold your anger in either, if someone told you that youwere a coward with a finger jabbing into your nose. What sane person would tolerate that?”

Chapter 1295 Some people laughed helplessly.

“Okay, I didn’t expect him to be so brash!”

Keith saw jackie actually dare to fight, he was immediately happy, and he flew into the air in a flash.

However, he soon thought of something. It seemed that the best spirit weapon was in the hands of WhiteFamily, whether it was jackie’s or not, even if it was in Nash’s hands. For the safety of his son, he wasafraid Nash would give it to his son so that he could increase his combat effectiveness during the game.

And even if jackie was the initial cultivation base of the True God Realm, it would not be easy to deal withhim if he held on to the best spirit weapon.

“I think you look down on people too much!” jackie said with a smile.

After thinking about it, Keith said , “Boy, let’s set some ground rules. Let’s not use weapons, how aboutit?”

jackie frowned and didn’t know whether to laugh or not. This guy was actually afraid that he would takeout his spirit weapon and that he would lose because of it.

“Yes!” jackie nodded, clenched his fist, and aura surged from above.

“Keith, the games haven’t started yet. Just try to have a friendly competition, but don’t kill him. Just teachhim a lesson!” Master Norman said with a smile.

The three sons of his are quite competitive, and their talents are about the same as those of the threedaughters of the Cabello family.

He even had an idea in his heart. If the Norman family and the Cabello family became in-laws, it wouldreally be a strong alliance. When the time comes, even the Hunt family will not be able to compete withthem.

Moreover, if his three sons marry the three daughters of the Cabello family, they would really make a lotof money. After all, none of the three daughters of the Cabello family are inferior in talent.

Unexpectedly, this damn jackie actually became Helena’s boyfriend, which made him very upset, and hesecretly told his son yesterday that if he meets jackie during the game, he must try to kill him. Because inthis competition, you can kill at will, and neither the elders of the family nor the head of the family canintervene.

“Don’t worry, father, this kid doesn’t know how far he’s about to fall. He won’t be able to find all his teethon the ground when I am done!” Keith said with a confident smile.

After he finished speaking, his fist was clenched and chi wrapped around it. He moved and appeared infront of jackie in a flash, moving to attack him.

Facing the opponent’s attack, jackie just hummed, and immediately greeted him with a punch. The twofists wrapped in thick aura instantly touched each other.

A powerful energy suddenly radiated from the place where the two fists met.

Chapter 1296 These two powerhouses are in the middle of the True God Realm and they are extremely powerful. Theirsheer power, coupled with the thick aura, caused a massive explosion like a huge thunder crack, makinga deafening sound, so much so that many people stood up in surprise and looked at the sky in shock.

“No? This kid didn’t get blown away!”

Darryl originally thought that jackie would definitely be blown away by his son’s punch, and even sufferserious injuries, but instead it was a stalemate. His expression now was ugly. jackie’s cultivation levelseemed to be similar to his son’s.

“This guy!” Helena looked at jackie there, also showing a look of surprise, her red lips slightly opened,very surprised.

“Sister, let me tell you, jackie is still holding back. After all, he doesn’t want to expose his true strengthwhen so many people are watching!”

Daniella looked at Helena on the side and raised her head slightly. Her eyes were full of self-satisfactionbecause this man of hers really was not too bad.

“Impossible, this guy is better than Keith?” Helena was even more surprised. It’s no wonder that Daniellalikes this kid. It seems that this kid is not as simple as he seems.

At this moment, the corner of jackie’s mouth curved in a wicked grin and he suddenly applied more forceand directly suppressed Keith’s power. Blood gushed out of Keith’s mouth as the energy hit his body andthe force of it threw him several hundred meters away.

As soon as he hit the ground, Keith spit out another mouthful of blood, his face paled as he tried torecover.

“Young Master, are you still fighting?”

jackie smiled lightly. Standing in the air, he glanced at his opponent lightly, yet with a completely calm asif he was simply bored.

jackie’s eyes were undoubtedly the biggest insult to Keith.

Keith gritted his teeth with anger and clenched his fists, but he knew deep down that he was not jackie’sopponent at all. If this kid took out the spirit weapon too he would be in big trouble.

‘It’s no wonder that Miss Helena fell in love with you.’ Keith thought as he stood up. He looked at jackiehatefully, and said: “Boy, I won’t let you go. I still have the strength to compete. When the games begin,we will compete again!”

“Good job!”

“Master jackie is really amazing!”

Everyone in the White family was extremely happy. jackie’s battle served well to give the White familypositive face with everyone around.

In the past, every time there was a match, the White family did not dare to speak too much and tried tokeep a low profile, but even so, the other Seven Shadow Families had no regard for them and wouldpush them around and bully them.

Since the White family’s overall strength was not much higher than that of some second-class families,some second-class families felt dissatisfied and disapproved of the White family. This puts them in thecrossfire between two family classes.

Today, jackie’s performance finally gave them some relief.

jackie looked at Joshua and laughed: “Your brothers wanted to fight me before but they said they wouldwait for the games. Looks like one of them had a reckoning coming sooner than expected!”

“Boy, don’t gloat too much, my sons don’t need to give you any regard so you better watch who youlaugh at. You’re too arrogant, it’s time I teach you a lesson!”

Chapter 1297 Darryl felt dull. His sons are all masters. The most important thing is that they are ranked higher thanmost among the Eight Shadow Families.

His own son was defeated by the illegitimate son of the White family who had returned from the outsideworld, which already made him shameless. Then unexpectedly, jackie would dare to mock his son as hejust did.

Darryl had seen enough so he flew up in a flash, clenched his fists, and went straight after jackie.

On the White Family’s side, the First Elder reacted in a flash and came to jackie, and Master Norman’sattack with his own punch.

“It’s just a discussion between the two juniors. Could it be that your Norman family can’t afford to lose?”

The First Elder’s eyes were full of anger. As the two attacks met each other, they each stumbled backseveral meters.

“Impossible!” Darryl was startled, there was a look of shock in his eyes. He remembered the WhiteFamily’s First Elder, he was only at the late stages of True God Realm. Although Darryl didn’t use his fullstrength just now, he was the peak of the True God Realm. With a casual punch, Kenneth, the elder ofthe White Family shouldn’t be still standing.

“Have you broken through to the peak of the True God Realm?”

Darryl quickly thought of a possibility, and his face was instantly ugly.

For a long time, the White family had only one master in the peak of True God Realm, which is why theother families looked down on them.

Because even if it is ranked sixth and seventh in the first-class family, there are two powerhouses at thepeak of the false gods in the family.

If Kenneth had really broken through to the peak of the True God Realm now, the status of the WhiteFamily would obviously be about the same as that of the other lesser Shadow Families.

“Master Norman really has good eyesight. I’ve merely gotten lucky recently. Recently I have brokenthrough to the peak of True God Realm, and my combat power has increased several times. Otherwise,how could I take a punch from you just now?”

Kenneth laughed. At this time, he was obviously the most dazzling thing here, and almost everyone’seyes were concentrated on him.

“Kenneth actually broke through to the peak of True God Realm?”

At this time, the people of the Lagorio family had also rushed over. They happened to see this scene,and Trenton’s expression was ugly.

After all, they can now regard the White Family as a mortal enemy. If Kenneth broke through to the peakof True God Realm, the gap between them and the White Family will widen again. They want to avengetheir daughter, but they don’t know how to take revenge. With this, now how long will it take?

He originally thought that the people of the Cabello family were enemies with the White family. Perhapsthey could join hands with the Cabello family and deal with the White family in the future. But now theywere saying jackie and Helena were in a relationship, not to mention the friendship with Daniella.

In this case, he didn’t know what to do. Fortunately, jackie offended the Second Young Master Huntbecause of this, which made him happy again, and perhaps he could of this situation to take revenge.

He was a little happy at first, but now he came here he discovered that the First Elder of the White familyhad actually broken through to the peak of True God Realm. The up and down made him feel like he wasriding a roller coaster.

“Haha, Master Lagorio, is it only you who can break through, can’t I make a breakthrough?” Kenneth sawTrenton’s gloomy face and couldn’t help but laugh.

“Tsk tsk, in the past one and a half years, it’s rare to hear that someone broke through to the peak ofTrue God Realm, yet today I found that two that have broken through to the peak of True God Realm!”

At this moment, a flying carpet owned by one of the eight big families, the Tudor family, came over, and amiddle-aged beauty sitting on it smiled calmly.

Chapter 1298 “Master Tudor, long time no see!”

Seeing that it was Master Tudor who came, Nash immediately stood up, smiled slightly, clasped hishands and bowed to her.

Master Tudor jumped off the flying carpet, then put away the flying carpet, walked over and smiled:“Master White, it’s been a long time since I heard about your family’s affairs, I didn’t expect that theperson who shared a bed with you could actually poison you, it makes me feel terrible to think about it!”

At this point, the middle-aged woman looked at Trenton again, and said insinuatingly: “The mostimportant thing is, some people don’t feel that his daughter is wrong, and they are enemies with theWhite family. Tsk tsk, they really don’t feel embarrassed!”

“Karima, who are you talking about? Don’t deceive everyone about this!” Trenton replied angrily, his fistsclenched.

“What’s the matter? Could it be that you want to be an enemy of the Tudor family?” Karima frowned, andthen smiled coldly: “I don’t even know your name or surname. Perhaps you can come tell us your nameso we know who you are.”

“You…”

Trenton gritted his teeth. The Tudor family was among the Eight Shadow Families. They were at thebottom and only slightly better than the White family’s situation. Of the two powerhouses at the peak ofTrue God Realm, one of them only broke through last year.

The relationship between the Tudor family and the White family is considered the best. The two familiesoften help each other.

Although Trenton was angry, he also knew that the Lagorio family was not even considered to be amongthe top Eight Shadow Families, and could only be regarded as a top second-class family. Therefore, hecould only clench his teeth and swallow his anger.

“Haha, everyone is almost here!”

Finally, the people of the Hunt family also came, stepping off a flying sword. The old man of the Huntfamily was laughing, his face was red and full of energy.

Trenton flew up and took a look, and immediately stepped forward to face him then said respectfully.

“There are two Shadow Families, the Canmore family and the Lucas family, who have not yet come.Also, there are still several third-class families who have not come!”

When Nash saw this scene, he was a little speechless. Trenton obviously wanted to please the HuntFamily, the head of the eight families. This was too obvious.

“Yeah!” Master Hunt nodded calmly, then looked at the direction of the White family, frowned and said:“Nash, I heard that your son Lance is dead, and you have found an illegitimate child again. Right?”

Nash immediately took a step forward and slightly arched his hand: “Master Hunt, as for my eldest son,whether he is dead or not, we don’t know. We are still sending people to look for him and the others whofollowed him. The family members are still looking for the children of their family. Although most of themare dead, we have still decided to look for another month!”

“Nash, you only look for another month then you decide to give up? He is your son, even if my daughterwronged you, you can’t give up so quickly, right? That’s my grandson! You are too inhuman!”

When Trenton heard this, he suddenly became angry: “Are you even looking for him? You don’t have tolook for him, I’ll look for him myself!”

Chapter 1299 “Master Lagorio, it’s not that I didn’t look for him. I have been sick for several months. And as you know,the forest is a bit weird and dangerous. I can’t go to the deepest part. If they still have not returned, thenmost of them are probably already dead!”

Nash smiled bitterly: “Although Lily wronged me, Lance is my son after all. I naturally hope that he isalive and naturally hope to find him. No matter if he chooses to follow me or follow Lily when the timecomes, that is his choice, and I will respect his choice!”

“I think you said it nicely. If I were you, I would just let the people of the White family go into the deepestplace to find them!”

Trenton smiled, with a look of contempt: “You people of the White family, are you still afraid of death?”

“It’s not a question of whether you are afraid of death or not. That forest, everyone knows that those whogo in that deep don’t come back out alive. I don’t want to carelessly throw away the lives of the Whitefamily!”

Nash said slightly angry: “Since you love your grandson so much, then you go in and find him, I won’tstop you!”

jackie, who heard these words, couldn’t help but frown. He didn’t expect that there would be such amysterious and dangerous place.

“Okay, okay!” At this time, the Hunt family’s old man became a little impatient and interrupted directly:“Today, everyone is here to participate in our triennial competition, not to see your two quarrels. If there isany contradiction between you, go down and solve it by yourself, don’t affect today’s game!”

After Master Hunt finished speaking, he continued to Nash: “I’m curious, what does your bastard looklike? I heard that you just came to Kobe. I even heard he took the virginity of the Cabello family eldestdaughter. He must be an incredibly charming young man!”

jackie’s mouth twitched slightly, and he stepped forward and said, “Master Hunt, I am jackie White!”

Master Hunt looked at jackie, and then smiled: “He is really handsome, it’s no wonder that you have MissHelena’s heart!”

jackie felt a little worried in his heart when he saw the other party’s smile.

‘This is Second Young Master Chet Hunt’s grandfather. Since many others know what happenedbetween him and Helena, then there is no doubt that Master Hunt also knows. If Young Master Hunt hascame seeking revenge from his Grandfather, if it is reasonable, this old man should not wait to see jackiefor himself. That’s why he is acting like he is so approachable.’

‘I have to say that this old guy is definitely an old fox with a knife in his smile. Such a person is too scaryand not wise to provoke.’

Not waiting for jackie to say, Master Hunt smiled again: “Well, I haven’t been happy for many years. Ifyou and Miss Helena can come out alive after this competition, the old man will come to preside overyour wedding. After getting married a month later, when the time comes, the old man will come to drinkyour wedding wine, how about it?”

“What!”

When Helena heard this her face was ugly. It seems that this old guy definitely doesn’t believe that sheand jackie are in a relationship. That’s why he is deliberately trying to test them. If they don’t agree to it,then they would admit to playing with his grandson. When that happens, this old guy will definitely getangry.

Thinking of this, Helena’s head buzzed, she never thought this lie would actually put her in such adilemma. ‘I definitely can’t marry jackie! I’ve only met him once or twice. Although he does seem prettygood, I don’t have those kinds of feelings at all. What’s more, this is Daniella’s boyfriend. How could I robDaniella’s boyfriend?’

Daniella was even more anxious when she heard this, she stood up and said angrily.

“No! I don’t agree!”
