Chapter 319
“Dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum!”
Over ten silver needles swiftly descended, only to find empty air.
Gavin’s form vanished in an instant.
The King of Northguard and the Northguard Army were left in a state of shock.
The soldiers of the Northguard Army nced around and uttered.
“Where did he go?”
“Why did he vanish so suddenly? Has he disappeared from the face of the earth?”
“Is this Gavin a human or a ghost?”
They spoke about each other.
Just as the entire Northguard Army was gripped by panic.
The King of Northguard furrowed his brow and scanned the surroundings.
He thought, ‘Could it be that this young one has truly grown wings and flown. away? This seemed
impossible. Even for a warrior, vanishing without a trace in an instant was unheard of. Not to mention
this young one. If he possessed such. power, how could the Clifford family have been defeated? This
lad must have employed some tricks.
The King of Northguard gazed at the Northguard Army below and eximed. “Find Gavin, even if we
must dig three feet into the ground!
“If he’s alive, I want to see him. If he’s dead, I want to see his lifeless form!”
Under the King of Northguard’s orders, the entire Northguard Armymenced a thorough search of
the vast area.
Among trees, mounds of earth, and buildings, they scoured nearly every possible location, yet there
was still no trace of Gavin.
The King of Northguard paced angrily as he watched the Northguard Army

return.
He thought, ‘Could it be that Gavin truly managed to escape?”
The Northguard Army tilted their heads and whispered.
“Do you reckon Gavin got frightened off?”
“He’s nothing but a coward. He must have been terrified when our King of Northguard made a casual
move.”
“How dares hee to our Northguard Imperial Residence and stir. up trouble? He must be tired of
living.”
“I believe the King of Northguard could ascend directly to godhood.”
“That’s absolutely right. I share the same sentiment!”

As the Northguard Army fervently discussed, the group of individuals seemed toe to a realization.
All the ready soldiers turned their attention toward the King of Northguard.
At that very moment, a few individuals from the Northguard Army spoke up loudly and distinctly.
“Your Highness, King of Northguard! You effortlessly drove that worthless Gavin away.”
“How could that trash ever be your equal?”
“In your own domain, Gavin has been arrogant for so long, yet he was still cowed and driven away by
your presence.”
“If Gavin dares to reappear, the Northguard Army will ensure he never returns. He shall pay for it with
his life.”
He wondered, ‘Did Gavin really flee?”
The King of Northguard furrowed his brow even deeper upon hearing the praise. from the Northguard
Army.
This was because he knew that, regardless of Gavin’s fate, he couldn’t grasp his whereabouts.
He pondered, ‘But how could a living person perform actions without leaving any traces? It was as
though what had manifested before was merely a mirage-it vanished without a trace. Could it be that
his power was genuinely so formidable. that not even he couldprehend it? It’s absolutely
impossible! How old is he? He’s in his twenties, isn’t he? How could he surpass my own strength?
Maybe he possesses some unique life-saving skill and is in hiding. That’s right, that’s it!” As soon as
the King of the Northguard Battlefront considered this possibility, he became convinced that Gavin had
already fled.
“Long live the King of Northguard!”
The Northguard Army continued to cheer for the King of Northguard.
At this moment, the King of Northguard didn’t forget to win people over.
Therefore, he turned to the Northguard Army and eximed.
“Long live the Northguard Army!”
Then, a multitude of Northguard Army soldiers followed the King of Northguard’s lead and echoed in
unison.
“Long live the Northguard Army!”
Their presence was formidable.
The King of Northguard surveyed the surroundings and noticed that the morale. of the Northguard
Army was soaring. He issued themand in a resounding
voice.
“All troops, listen up!”

“Search the entire city for Gavin. Locate Gavin and apprehend that scoundrel!” The Northguard Army
lowered their heads, clenched their fists, and dered in unison.
“Yes, Your Highness!”
For a moment, the thunderous voice of the Northguard Army reverberated throughout the world.
At that instant, a whimsical, peculiar, yet oddly delightful voice tinged with a yful tone emanated from
behind the King of Northguard.
“I haven’t gone anywhere. Whom are you scouring the city for?”
The King of Northguard and the Northguard Army were left dumbfounded. hearing the voice.

The hearts of the Northguard Army were racing so rapidly that their scalps even felt numb.
The King of Northguard swiftly pivoted and beheld Gavin standing behind him. He arched his eyebrows
and regarded him with a disdainful expression.
‘It was indeed Gavin. He had the audacity to return quietly. Or perhaps he never left in the first ce?
He had been right behind me all along, and no one noticed him. It was chilling. Did this imply that Gavin
could have taken my life without anyone realizing it?”
The Northguard Army was astounded when they spotted Gavin standing behind the King of
Northguard!
Gavin had never left, and what’s more, he had remained within the very area they had scoured, yet
they hadn’t noticed him at all.
He was even standing directly behind the King of Northguard.
They thought, ‘How did Gavin do it? Not even their King of Northguard had. detected his presence.’
At this moment, the anxiety in the King of Northguard’s heart had reached a boiling point, threatening to
erupt.
He realized that it was imperative to take the initiative!
Therefore, he wasted no time in his actions!
The King of Northguard gazed at Gavin before him and thrust out his fist.
“Brat, you’re courting death!”
He swung it at Gavin, aiming to shatter him with a single punch.
Unexpectedly, as the King of Northguardunched his punch, Gavin swiftly seized. his neck with one
hand and hoisted him into the air.
Instantaneously, everyone present was left in a state of shock.
The Northguard Army, who had been engaged in continuous chatter just moments ago, fell silent upon
witnessing this spectacle.
“This was astonishing… I can’t believe it… Did I witness this correctly?’
At this moment, the King of Northguard, suspended in mid-air, appeared to be in agony and powerless
to muster any strength.
A pair of feeble hands weakly pped at Gavin’s right hand that clutched his throat, as if attempting to
pry it open.
But it was useless.
The Northguard Army gazed upon their Lord of the Northern Battlefront, whot had been effortlessly
raised by Gavin and was now powerless to resist, struggling in mid-air.
As they stared at Gavin before them, it felt as if their eyeballs were on the verge of popping out of their
sockets.
Why was Gavin so incredibly powerful? Their King of Northguard was a warrior, near the divine rank.
How could he be toyed with by Gavin in such a manner? Gavin was merely a young man in his
twenties; how could the esteemed King of Northguard not be his equal?’
Countless soldiers from the Northguard Army observed their Lord of the Northern Battlefront, who was
writhing in Gavin’s grasp. They were filled with anxiety and a desire to rescue him, yet they dared not
step forward.
They were well aware that even the King of Northguard was no match for Gavin, let alone a group of
small fries like themselves.
They thought, ‘Wouldn’t we be instantly obliterated if we intervened? So, what should we do? Kneel
down and submit? Or perhaps flee? If this persisted, the King of Northguard would meet his demise!”
However, Gavinpletely disregarded the Northguard Army.
Instead, he regarded the King of Northguard withposure and said.
“Now, can you converse with me civilly?”
