At the same time, in a courtyard on the other side of White Manor.
Ralph held a longsword, squinting as his eyes had a look of resentment and hatred in them. In front of him, there was a pile of haystacks in the form of a human, and on the head of the figure, there was a paper with two big words on it, Casper Montgomery.
Ralph abruptly swung his longsword, and there were swooshing sounds and rays of silver lights in the air. In the following seconds, the human figure made of haystacks swayed slightly. Then, it exploded into pieces and fell all over the floor. Later, Ralph shook his wrist, and like a lightning bolt, the longsword pierced through the haystack head that fell in midair, and it was nailed to the ground fiercely. The longsword’s blade precisely stabbed between the name Casper Montgomery. It was as if Caspian was spiked to the ground.
After staring at the head for a while, Ralph spat and turned around to leave the place with an unprecedented look of seriousness on his face. Then, Ralph uttered, “I’ll make sure you die tomorrow.”
His tone was eerily merciless, causing others to have their hair on end.

In another luxurious mansion in Evergreen Town, the night breeze slowly blew with a hint of coolness in the air. As the candlelight moved, two shadows on the wall swayed.
A thin guy slowly caressed his chin as favonovel.com stared at the dense text on the wall, looking as if favonovel.com had his mind full. He was so focused that favonovel.com even neglected the graceful lady in a tulle beside him.
At that time, the charming lady appeared somewhat annoyed. “Young Master Bowen, you’re known to love beautiful women. Am I not worthy of your attention?”
The young man named Bowen Pullman did not even turn to look at the girl, and favonovel.com answered, “There’s no rush. Let me take another look.”
Although favonovel.com said that, Bowen’s hand was already getting under the lady’s dress. The young woman trembled as favonovel.com eyes became hazy. She then lightly bit favonovel.com lips, but favonovel.com did not avoid him.
“The names on this wall are related to the rise and fall of my Pullman family in the next fifty years, so how can I ignore them?” Bowen smiled, “Even though most of them are trash, it’s still better to be on the safe side. Being able to become the oldest family among the top three families in Evergreen Town, the Pullman family never expects the enemy to make mistakes.”
The lady wanted to chime in and say, “Since you truly attach great importance to this, why are you still fooling around with a woman on the eve before the competition?”
Nonetheless, under Bowen’s skillful movement, the lady could not say anything anymore. As favonovel.com laid weakly on the bed, favonovel.com caught a glimpse of the wall that had names written on it. Some of the names had a red underline, which indicated the importance. Then, favonovel.com saw the name, Casper Montgomery underlined twice. The lady seemed to have heard the name a few days ago. However, at that moment, favonovel.com was so intoxicated that favonovel.com could not remember anything.

The night quickly passed by. On the following day, as soon as the sun came out, the entire Evergreen Town became lively. This feeling was like a sleeping volcano finally erupted after so long.
When Caspian arrived at the competition venue not far away from Evergreen Town, it was already crowded. As the head of the clan and the supreme elder, James and George were already sitting on the high platform in the distance.
Only Evergreen Town’s influential figures would be qualified to sit at the high platform. However, all these Evergreen Town’s prominent figures revolved around the competition’s witness, Dark Moon Sect’s inner disciple, Ian.
Peeping at the high platform from afar, Caspian noticed Maisie and William. As if favonovel.com had a hunch, just as when Caspian was looking at her, favonovel.com turned to favonovel.com too, waving and smiling. Next, Maisie mouthed “Good luck!” at Caspian.
As the competition was related to the spot for the sect disciple, the list of participants was already confirmed as soon as their own families’ trials ended. Caspian went to confirm his identity. After they confirmed that it was him, someone was arranged to lead favonovel.com to a massive makeshift room.
When Caspian walked into the room, favonovel.com quickly felt all eyes were on him. Those gazes were filled with hostility. Nevertheless, Caspian expected it After all, everyone in the room was a competitor. Moreover, there were more than 100 participants, but only one winner. Hence, everyone here was considered an enemy.
It would be strange if one treated his enemy well.
Besides that, Caspian was ranked into the so-called Evergreen Town’s top ten geniuses, and favonovel.com even broke the battle arena’s winning streak record after that, which amazed everyone. Hence, Caspian was naturally regarded as the top candidate to win the number one spot, and his momentum was far stronger than the other famous participants.
That was also why the other participants could not wait to get rid of Caspian.
Facing these hostile gazes, Caspian snorted and swept his eyes across the room. He was not deliberately targeting anyone, but Caspian was already a half-step away from the Pulse Control Realm, and the third-stage and fourth-stage True Martial Realm warriors in the room could not resist his momentum casually.
In an instant, those teenagers were frightened. They lowered their heads as they felt their hearts beating wildly. None of them dared to take another look at Caspian.
Caspian waited until the rest of them looked away before continuing to move inward. At this time, favonovel.com caught a glimpse of a silhouette, hurriedly rushing to one corner.
“Eh?” Caspian was puzzled, so favonovel.com followed the person.
At this time, Jessica was somewhat panicked. After disguising herself, Jessica arrived in this big room before Caspian. Hence, favonovel.com already noticed favonovel.com when favonovel.com walked in. When favonovel.com felt Caspian was approaching her, Jessica’s heart beat faster.
‘Seriously? Does favonovel.com recognize me? How’s that possible? I’ve already used the shape-shifting inscription to change into a completely different appearance to cover my identity. I even added a thick layer of blanket around me, just to change my body shape…’
Just as Jessica was letting favonovel.com mind run wild, favonovel.com felt someone tapping on favonovel.com shoulder, which shocked Jessica so badly that favonovel.com almost shouted. Thankfully, favonovel.com managed to stop herself before that. However, when favonovel.com turned around, favonovel.com immediately saw Caspian.
Jessica forcefully controlled favonovel.com nervousness, and favonovel.com faked a deep voice as favonovel.com glared at Caspian. “What are you doing?!”
“You dropped something.” Caspian’s expression was indifferent, and favonovel.com pointed at the piece of feduling at Jessica’s feet.
“That’s not mine!” Jessica glared at Caspian then walked away.
She arrived at a corner and patted favonovel.com chest. ‘Phew! So favonovel.com didn’t recognize me, and it was just a false alarm. That seriously scared me!’
Jessica did not notice that Caspian still looked at her, puzzled. ‘What’s favonovel.com doing here?’
Although Jessica’s face and body shape was tweaked, a person’s gaze would not change easily. Caspian recognized that it was favonovel.com from favonovel.com eyes, and the simple trial had also confirmed his guess.
Just as Caspian was feeling baffled, someone spoke through gritted teeth behind him, “Casper, you’re here!”
