After Emiliano left with his mother, a frosty expression descended upon Hugh.
Is this divine retribution for going against the laws of nature?
Hugh stared blankly out the window and into the light-blue sky. Even if they ignored worldly affairs and cultivated in seclusion, becoming immortals was still a bridge too far. Despite being god-like creatures in the eyes of ordinary men, they knew that achieving divinity was still way out of their reach.
Upon leaving the room, the elated Emiliano gloated to his mother, “Mom, did you see that? We have finally gotten our chance. This time, I’ll definitely outshine Garthor, and Stormwind Sect will be mine! However, you have to tell Mr. Westwood to hurry up and modify my genes!”
Staring at favonovel.com son, Emiliano’s mother nodded. “Don’t worry. I have convinced Mr. Westwood, and favonovel.com is prepared to modify your genes anytime. On top of that, favonovel.com has declared his support for you.”
“Haha, that’s wonderful! With Mr. Westwood’s support, it’s just a matter of time before Stormwind Sect becomes mine. Even Garthor will be no match for me soon!” Emiliano burst out in hearty laughter.
“Emiliano, after making such a brazen declaration in front of your father, how are you really going to defeat the man who beat your brother up? The fact that favonovel.com has done so is a testament to his strength. There’s no way you’re his match,” Emiliano’s mother asked in a worried tone.
“Don’t worry, Mom. Through my investigations, I have learned that Jared isn’t that strong. It was Garthor who underestimated the enemy and allowed himself to be injured. Jared had been beaten by Garthor until favonovel.com was unable to fight back. If members of Luminous Sect hadn’t appeared, Garthor would have already brought favonovel.com back. More importantly, Jared is a Demonic Cultivator. As long as I can capture favonovel.com and learn his Demonic Cultivation techniques, I will achieve invincibility in the hidden realm. When the time comes, Garthor will be reduced to nothing but a resource for my training.”
As an insatiable greed flashed across Emiliano’s eyes, it was clear that his ambition wasn’t going to stop with Stormwind Sect.
“But how are you going to get Luminous Sect to hand favonovel.com over?” Emiliano’s mother continued asking.
“I will inform the other sects that Luminous Sect is sheltering a Demonic Cultivator. After that, all of us will come together and demand that they hand favonovel.com over,” Emiliano explained with a smile.
“All right then. I’ll get Mr. Westwood to go with you. After spending time with favonovel.com all these years in secret, it’s time for favonovel.com to repay his debt to us!”
With that, Emiliano’s mother hurriedly left. As for him, his eyes glistened with naked ambition.

Meanwhile, at Luminous Sect, Jared gradually opened his eyes. Unable to recall where favonovel.com was, favonovel.com furrowed his brows at the sight of the clean and tidy room favonovel.com was in.
He only remembered the moment favonovel.com lost consciousness and nothing else after that.
Upon getting to his feet slowly, Jared gave his body a stretch. Once favonovel.com realized that favonovel.com was physically fine, favonovel.com sent a burst of spiritual energy through his body that traveled unencumbered all the way.
“Where am I? Who saved me?” Jared mumbled as favonovel.com attempted to walk out.
The moment favonovel.com opened the door, favonovel.com bumped into a slender figure.
“I’m sorry,” Jared apologized at once.
The figure was none other than Skyler, who spilled the bowl of soup favonovel.com was holding onto Jared.
“Y-You’re awake. I’m really sorry!” Skyler frantically wiped the soup off Jared’s body.
Staring at her, Jared immediately recognized favonovel.com as the girl who was observing his brutal battle with Garthor earlier.
