“Besides apologizing, I am here to invite Mr. Billy to a meeting,” Erica Cardenas replied.


    “A meeting? What kind of meeting?” Azure Dragon asked.


    “It’s a meeting hosted by Star Pce to discuss countermeasures against the Great Blue Star Domain,” Erica Cardenas continued. “The top ten forces in Akabuchi City are all invited.”


    “Does this have anything to do with us?” Casey asked.


    “You must be joking. When the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact,” Erica Cardenas smiled faintly. “If the Akabuchi Star Domain falls, not just Akabuchi City, but also Canyon View City and Sky City will suffer. This concerns everyone in the Akabuchi Star Domain, doesn’t it?”


    “Isn’t the Domain Lord’s Mansion just trying to use us as cannon fodder again?” White Tiger interjected.


    “I believe Mr. Billy understands the situation. Please, Mr. Billy…” Erica Cardenas looked at Billy.


    “Time and ce?” Billy interrupted her.


    To him, it was clear that he couldn’t stand by idly. As Erica Cardenas said, if the Akabuchi Star Domain fell, not only would Akabuchi City suffer, but also vale and its billions of inhabitants, including their friends and family. Moreover, he had promised Kymani Vasquez to contribute to the safety of the Akabuchi Star Domain. Therefore, he couldn’t refuse.


    “If it’s convenient for Mr. Billy, I can take you there now,” Erica Cardenas responded.Original from N?velDrama.Org.


    “Let’s go!” Billy replied.


    “Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Billy!” Erica Cardenas smiled and led Billy and his group towards the courtyard gate.


    About an hourter, they arrived at the entrance of the Domain Lord’s Mansion estate.


    “So this is where the Akabuchi Star Pce is located? It’s quite luxurious, taking up such arge area!” Bob remarked as he looked at the vast estate.


    The estate was indeedrge, upying at least one-tenth of Akabuchi City, resembling a city within a city.


    “This is the Domain Lord’s Mansion!” Erica Cardenas smiled and added, “The Star Pce only upies one-fifth of the Domain Lord’s Mansion.”


    “What do you mean? The Akabuchi Star Pce and the Domain Lord’s Mansion aren’t the same thing?” Bob asked, puzzled.


    “Of course not!” Erica Cardenas smiled again. “The Star Pce is just the core part of the Domain Lord’s Mansion!”


    “Alright then!” Bob shrugged.


    “Let’s go inside!” Erica Cardenas said and led the group into the Domain Lord’s Mansion courtyard.


    About ten minutester, they arrived in front of a uniquely designed building, thergest conference hall in the Domain Lord’s Mansion. By the time they arrived, two to three hundred people had already gathered, evidently all invited to discuss important matters.


    “Hey kid, it’s you?” A slightly angry male voice called out.


    Casey and the others looked over and saw Frederick Carr, the eldest son of the Carr family and a one-armed hero.


    “Do you know him?” Billy asked Casey.


    “Yes,” Casey nodded. “He’s from the Carr family in Akabuchi City.”


    “How do you know him?” Billy continued to ask.


    “I cut off his arm during the Prodigy List rankingpetition not long ago,” Casey shrugged.


    “You are too violent!” Billy pouted.


    When he arrived at the scene that day, the top fifteen ranking matches had already ended, so he didn’t know what had happened before.


    Casey’s mouth twitched slightly. Boss, those words seem more fitting for you.


    While they were talking, Frederick Carr approached with several elders from the Carr family, his face dark with anger.


    “What is it, Mr. Carr? Seeking revenge for your lost arm?” White Tiger looked at Frederick Carr. “You’d better think it through; otherwise, you might lose your other arm too!”


    “Kid, I told you you’d regret it one day. I’m giving you a chance now…” Frederick Carr ignored White Tiger and continued speaking coldly to Casey.


    Before he could finish his sentence, Azure Fang struck out with a palm, sending Frederick Carr flying and crashing heavily to the ground in pain. With only one arm left, his cultivation had plummeted; now he could only muster early-stage Otherworldly Realm strength and couldn’t withstand Azure Fang’s strike.


    Cough…


    Erica Cardenas, who had been silent all this time, coughed slightly and her mouth twitched. However, she didn’t seem inclined to speak up.


    Seeing what was happening, others gathered around.


    “Bastard! You’re courting death!” An elder from the Carr family in the early stage of Entering Dao Realm roared and attacked Azure Fang.


    “Idiot!” Casey snorted coldly and met the attack with a palm strike of his own. The two forces collided, sending the Carr family elder flying a hundred meters away, blood spraying into the air.


    “How dare you! Do you think my Carr family has no one left?” Another elder shouted angrily as a powerful wave of energy surged toward them. Judging by his aura, he was at the fourth rank of Entering Dao Realm. The Carr family was one of Akabuchi City’s four major families, their high-endbat power on par with the Whitney family back then. Besides their patriarch who was at the fifth rank, this elder was their strongest member. This showed thatpared to Akabuchi City’s top sects, the so-called four major families still had a long way to go. The top sects had Perceiving Dao Realm experts and more than one at that.


    “Get lost!” Aubree said coldly and sent out a gust of wind with a wave of her hand. The elder flew three or four hundred meters away and spat out blood uponnding, a look of fear shing across his face. He clearly felt that Aubree had only used sixty to seventy percent of her strength; otherwise, he would have been dead already.


    “Hmm?” Seeing this scene, murmurs of surprise arose from those present; evidently, they hadn’t expected Aubree to be so skilled. Although the other members of the Carr family were furious, none dared to speak up; even their Grand Elder wasn’t a match for her in a single move-challenging her would be suicidal.


    “Mr. Carr, what happened? Why are you in such a sorry state?” A man’s voice rang out just then. A white-robed man approached with two elders behind him, both in thete stage of Entering Dao Realm.


    This man was Iker Dale, Young Master of Star Fragment Abbey and ranked ninth in the Prodigy List rankingpetition.


    “Master Iker, you’re just in time! Please teach that kid a lesson for me!” Frederick Carr hurried over to him.


    “Miss Knight and Miss Chandler, long time no see!” Iker Dale ignored Frederick Carr and turned to Harleen and Ivy with a hint of wickedness in his eyes.


    “Hello,” Harleen replied indifferently. She had met him at the Prodigy Listpetition; greeting him was only polite.


    “I understand there’s some conflict between you and Frederick. May I mediate?” Iker Dale continued.


    “And how do you n to mediate?” Casey asked him directly.
