Just as Federico Yarrow made his move, a coin mysteriously appeared in Julius Reed’s hand.

With a flick of his thumb, the coin shot out and struck the wooden stick!

Under the tremendous force, the wooden stick flew backward and hit Federico Yarrow squarely in the head.

Bang!

With a muffled sound, the youngsters who had been shouting joyously moments before suddenly froze in place.

“Is Yarrow… dead?”

Federico Yarrow hit the ground hard, blood pouring from his forehead, his eyes slightly open.

Seeing Federico Yarrow’s sorry state, his companions lost any desire to trouble Julius Reed. They scattered like rats from a sinking ship, dropping their sticks and fleeing.

Such is the friendship in the Mortal World.

“He…

“He’s fine! He’s just passed out, he’ll come around soon.”

Julius Reed saw Quella Radcliffe’s concern and reassured her with a smile.

What had been a most romantic stroll for the two of them was abruptly cut short by Federico Yarrow’s interference.

Once home, Julius Reed went up to his room on the third floor and logged onto his computer.

It was the same website he was familiar with, except for a few new direct messages.

After reading the messages, he smiled slightly before shutting down the website.

It seemed some people never learned, valuing money over their lives.

Instead of decreasing, the number of people coming for the bounty on him had actually doubled.

But Julius Reed was well aware that if it were not for that phone call he had made, the number might have increased even more.

The bounty on his head had increased.

The person who had put a bounty on him had doubled the reward, sparking interest from many.

At that moment, his phone rang.

“Hello?”

Julius Reed picked up the phone and answered the call.

“Big brother, someone’s gunning for you. I’ve already issued a warning, and most Shadow Warriors have expressed that they won’t take the job, but there are still those pushing things behind the scenes. Your bounty has also been doubled.”

Upon seeing Julius Reed come online, the man immediately made the call.

“Should we take action?”

“No need! Don’t intervene unless absolutely necessary. Once you get involved, things will escalate.”

Leaning back in his chair, Julius Reed asked casually, ‘When is the first batch of

Shadow Warriors arriving?”

“Tonight. Five teams will be heading to Gonzalez City, and among them… is your disciple, Cosmo.”

“What?”

Julius Reed was clearly taken aback by the man’s words.

“Cosmo is coming as well?”

“Big brother, she doesn’t know it’s you. If she did, she wouldn’t dare to come after you even if she had a thousand times the courage.”

“I understand.”

After hanging up the phone, a smile played at Julius Reed’s lips.

Cosmo was his disciple, albeit the one with the poorest aptitude. There weren’t many who had the privilege of being Julius Reed’s disciples. After all, his only reason for taking on disciples was to pass the time and for his own amusement.

Under his meticulous crafting, the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance operated on its own, requiring little oversight.

Poor aptitude was relative. Compared to other prodigies, Cosmo wasn’t that impressive, but to the average Shadow Warrior, she was a deity.

In the underworld, she was known as the Empress.

Now with the disciple coming to kill her own mentor, things were getting interesting.

A moment later, Julius Reed’s phone vibrated again.

All the information about the five teams of Shadow Warriors was sent to his phone without missing a single detail.

“Looks like it’s going to be another sleepless night.”

Julius Reed slowly closed his eyes, lying back in the chair to rest and recuperate.

Gonzalez City, National Mount Hotel.

A few bearded men lounged in the hot springs, absentmindedly enjoying the massages from their female companions.

The most striking features on their bodies were the scars, with some so startling that they were less than a centimeter away from the heart.

“Big brother, I heard the Empress has come?”

A bearded man whispered.

The Empress referred to Cosmo. This female Shadow Warrior had caused a bloodbath in just a few years.

Many veteran Shadow Warriors were driven into a corner by her, and thus, Cosmo’s name spread to everyone’s ears within a few months.

Such an emergence of a character inevitably caught everyone’s attention.

However, after many investigations, no one could figure out what Cosmo’s background was!

Her killing techniques were extremely sophisticated; nobody would believe she had no master!

But as time passed, everyone had to accept the mysterious fact about her and gave her the title of Empress.

Three years ago, Cosmo suddenly faded from the Shadow Warrior world, reportedly searching for someone. Yet, after three years, she was still relentlessly searching.

Some speculated that this person might be her enemy, while others gossiped that it was a heartless man.

But no matter how everyone guessed, they couldn’t figure out who this person was.

This time, Cosmo took the initiative to accept a bounty, causing quite a stir. “Just a woman, can we, the Five Tigers, be afraid of her?”

The man called big brother exuded confidence, seemingly unafraid of Cosmo.

“Even so, no one knows whether the Empress has improved over these three years!”

The bearded man wore a cautious look, as if he were facing a formidable enemy.

These five were known as the Five Tigers and were an old group of Shadow Warriors.

When Cosmo rose to power a few years ago, they had always wanted to meet this woman, but they never got the chance because of regional reasons.

After Cosmo faded from the scene, their chances became even slimmer.

This time, a large bounty appeared in Gonzalez City, with a double offering, attracting the attention of many Shadow Warriors.

But the Five Tigers never expected the Empress to actually come.

According to unwritten rules, Shadow Warriors can collaborate on a mission, but the bounty must be divided according to the strength of the Shadow Warrior.

Over the years, the Empress’s name has always ranked above the Five Tigers on the underground leaderboards. If they were to kill the target at the same time, they might lose most of the bounty.

“Great, I want to meet her! Let’s see what this terrifying woman is really capable of!”

After speaking, the man made a throat-slitting gesture, “If possible, take her out in Gonzalez City!”

Such tasks were a walk in the park for the Five Tigers. Once Cosmo was dead, they guaranteed they wouldn’t leave behind a single clue.

“Boss, reliable sources say that three more teams have arrived in Gonzalez City.”

The bearded man said mysteriously.

They had already mastered all the information before coming.

“Then we’ll strike first!”

Their leader stood up from the hot spring, walked over to a cabinet to retrieve his phone, and smirked, “Mr. Immortal has news, the target has actually gone to Zedekiah Wharf alone!”

Mr. Immortal was the youngest among them, usually responsible for disguises and tailing. After arriving in Gonzalez City, he immediately blended into Julius Reed’s surroundings, not missing any movements.

“Let’s do it! If others get to it first, we’ve come here for nothing!”

The bearded man stood up from the hot spring as well and got dressed, looking at his boss.

“Bring all the gear! We’ll act according to the situation. If Cosmo shows up, take her down first, then the target!”

After saying this, the leader strode out with the other three men and boarded an off-road vehicle..
