Jensen Coleman hurried after him, and they both exited the Great Hall, heading toward an isted area.


    "Talk. Why did you spare him?" Jensen Coleman demanded icily.


    Star fixed Jensen Coleman with a frigid stare. "Do you have any idea who that boy is?"


    "Mason Raymond? Ha, what a convenient excuse," Jensen Coleman scoffed.


    "We''ve all looked into his past - raised as an orphan, married into a family as a live-in son-inw, no impressive connections, just some luck and talent," Jensen Coleman continued.


    "Besides, his power means nothing to someone like you."


    Star drew a sharp breath and roared, "He''s the Guardian''s son! If I''d killed him, do you think the Guardian would spare us!"


    This explosion stunned Jensen Coleman. The air grew thick with tension.


    "What?! He''s the Guardian''s son?!" Jensen Coleman needed several moments to regain hisposure.


    Star snorted coldly. "I already broke the Guardian''s rules by leaving the Mystic Realm to hunt him down. If I''d murdered his own child, do you think I''d still be breathing?"


    Jensen Coleman''s expression grew troubled.


    He remained silent for a long while.


    "Who gave you this information?" Jensen Coleman asked urgently.


    Star replied gravely, "The Pavilion Master of the Divine Alchemist Pavilion. She appears to have ties to the Guardian."


    Jensen Coleman''s brow creased. "Can you trust this intel?"


    Star sneered. "Reliable or not, are you willing to gamble with our lives?"


    "Remember what happened when Capital City Martial Arts Association defied the order? Dozens of Martial Saints gunned down!"


    The memory sent shivers through both men.


    "So... we can never move against him again?" Jensen Coleman frowned.


    "Not exactly," Star shook his head.


    "The Guardian is incredibly inflexible - he''d never break his own rules."


    "As long as we don''t breach the agreement, even if we eliminated his son, he probably wouldn''t interfere."


    Jensen Coleman stroked his chin, murmuring, "That makes sense. That man has no regard for personal bonds."


    "I suggest you stay within the Second Secret Realm." Star dropped these words and walked away.


    Jensen Coleman stood motionless for a long time.


    "Looks like... only my son can handle this." Jensen Coleman whispered.


    Jensen Coleman made his decision immediately.


    He would arrange everything for Garcia Coleman to guarantee he could eliminate Mason Raymond!


    ——


    By this point, I had already departed from the Divine Alchemist Pavilion.


    I needed to locate a Mystic Realm Master somehow.


    After considering my options, Ignacio Richard, the battle zone''s War God, had the most extensivework.


    As War God of the battle zone, his connections spoke for themselves.


    The following day at noon.


    I arrived at Ignacio Richard''s Capital City residence.


    Ignacio Richard was at the battle zone then. His entire house stood empty except for a dog. Nobody else was around.


    Not untilte evening.


    Ignacio Richard drove home.


    Spotting me, Ignacio Richard asked with puzzlement, "Mason Raymond, what brings you here?"


    I bowed respectfully. "Greetings, Commander Richard."


    Ignacio Richard said seriously, "Come inside. Let''s talk."


    I followed Ignacio Richard into his home.


    After we sat down, Ignacio Richard cut to the chase. "Speak up. What do you need from me?"


    I didn''t beat around the bush either, immediately stating my purpose.


    "Commander Richard, do you know any Mystic Realm Masters?" I asked.


    "Mystic Realm Master?" Ignacio Richard arched an eyebrow. "What do you want with a Mystic Realm Master?"


    I said earnestly, "I have a favor to ask, but my connections are thin. I can only turn to you."


    Hearing this, Ignacio Richard chuckled. "I''m not Finn Darby - I won''t help you with just anything. Remember, there are no personal favors when dealing with me."


    Instead of feeling discouraged, I felt encouraged.


    At least his words proved that Ignacio Richard actually knew a Mystic Realm Master.


    "Commander Richard, a Mystic Realm Master is crucial to me. If you can assist me, I''ll agree to any terms you set," I said solemnly.


    Ignacio Richard raised his eyebrows. "Mason Raymond, what makes you think you can do anything for me? We don''t operate in the same circles."


    "That''s not necessarily true," I shook my head.


    "I believe as the battle zone''s War God, you must have some issues you can''t resolve personally."


    "Hahahaha!" Ignacio Richard burst intoughter at my words.


    He suddenly mmed his hand on the table and snapped, "Mason Raymond! What gives you the nerve to speak to me like this?"


    "You think you can aplish what I cannot!"


    I remained calm. "I wouldn''t dare boast, but I might manage it. How can you know the oue without letting me try?"


    Ignacio Richard said angrily, "Get out before I lose my temper."


    I sat there without moving, clearly adopting a stubborn stance.


    "Are you leaving or not?" Ignacio Richard demanded furiously.


    I replied, "If you won''t help me, I''m not going anywhere."


    "You!" Ignacio Richard was instantly enraged.


    "You''re trying to guilt-trip me, is that it?"


    I smiled bitterly. "You can see it that way, but if it works, I''ll ept the guilt-tripping."


    Ignacio Richard was so angry heughed, pointing at me. "Fine, fine! In that case, I''ll give you an opportunity."


    With that, Ignacio Richard returned to his room.


    He emerged carrying a stack of files and mmed them down in front of me.


    "If you can track down these people for me, I''ll help you," Ignacio Richard said coldly.


    I picked up the files and saw they contained records of nearly every Overseas Organization.


    These names were mostly extremely criminal, with countless murders on their hands, including the infamous Michelle Sect and Ice Pce that I''d encountered before!


    "What''s wrong, having second thoughts?" Ignacio Richard sneered.


    I lifted the files from the table. "With so many organizations, even you can''t handle them all. How could I possibly?"


    This bit of ttery seemed to cool Ignacio Richard''s anger slightly.


    "At least you''re self-aware," Ignacio Richard snorted coldly.


    Still, Ignacio Richard''s tone was clearly less harsh than before.


    I grinned. "But I can help you with three organizations. How''s that sound?"


    "Oh?" Ignacio Richard raised an eyebrow, apparently intrigued.


    He gestured at the names on the list. "Do you realize these organizations have existed for years? They have no permanent base - it''s impossible to locate them."


    I smiled. "I have my own methods."


    Ignacio Richardughed. "Alright, alright, interesting!"


    "If you really can find three organizations, I can agree to that."


    I selected three files. "Deal."


    "However, I''m only giving you two weeks," Ignacio Richard added this condition at thest moment.
