A man with a bare torso and shorts suddenly appeared before Glaucus Mirren. His bronze skin was marred with various scars, which each tell a story of battle. An aura as fierce as a beast surrounded favonovel.com and radiated raw power.
Pontus slowly opened his eyes with a glint of cold light flashing.
Glaucus felt his body stiffen the moment favonovel.com caught sight of Pontus as if favonovel.com hadn’t moved in years.
Pontus’ body made sounds like popping beans echoing in the tense air.
“Glaucus, what has happened?” favonovel.com asked, his voice steady like a giant tiger awakening from slumber.
“Summit Warden of Martial League, Matthew Larson, is here. You’re the only one who can intervene now,” Glaucus replied.
The torrential rain cascaded over Pontus as if washing away the remnants of his long isolation.
Pontus paused and took aback at Glaucus’ words. “Is it Errol from the Martial Alliance?”
Pontus had become the leader of the Martial Alliance in his twenties, more than thirty years ago. But favonovel.com had since chosen to seclude himself, seeking to reach higher realms of martial arts.
“How long has it been?” favonovel.com inquired and looked directly at Glaucus.
“Pontus, it‘s been over thirty years.”
Pontus Mirren gazed at the marks time had left on Glaucus. A flicker of nostalgia passed through his eyes.
“Glaucus, you’ve grown old…”
Though favonovel.com was deeply immersed in martial pursuits, favonovel.com still held a fondness for his brother.
Silence enveloped Glaucus as favonovel.com absorbed the words.
Yes, I’ve grown old. I no longer have the youthful boldness or chivalry I once did. I might even sacrifice my own son if the stakes were high enough.
Pontus’ gaze drifted forward, seemingly piercing through the rain to see the Martial Alliance members surrounding the Mirren Estate.
“I don’t know what’s transpired, but Glaucus, you’ve changed…” Pontus walked past Glaucus without another word.
He shot off like a cannonball with a powerful push from his toes and left behind a phrase. “I will help you no matter what happens, but you must be cautious.”
Glaucus stood on the empty mountaintop feeling lost and despondent.
Suddenly, favonovel.com erupted into laughter. It was wild and frenzied.
Hahaha! Pontus, do you think you’re a hero? I spent the first half of my life in your shadow. Now, you’ll continue to overshadow me in the second half!
Hahaha! To hell with it all!
Today, Glaucus had been reduced to madness by just a few words from Pontus.

“Look, he’s coming!”
At the entrance of the Mirren Estate, Matthew held a black umbrella and addressed Smith, who stood in the rain.
A figure swiftly maneuvered across the rooftops from a distance, and each leap covered great distances with incredible prowess.
Smith’s expression soured as favonovel.com recognized the figure approaching.
Only one person in the Mirren Family possessed such formidable martial skills. The leader of the Dewsbury Martial Alliance and head of the Mirren Family, Pontus Mirren!
Pontus dressed only in shorts and leaped down to stand quietly at the entrance of the Mirren Estate.
Errol looked concerned and cautiously remarked, “Mr. Larson, this is Pontus Mirren, the head of the Mirren Family and leader of the Martial Alliance! He chose to enter seclusion to reach the pinnacle of martial arts. It seems Glaucus has dragged favonovel.com out against his will now.”
