“You’re cultivators from the Worstrual Realm?” Reidan asked, his face filled with shock, which quickly turned into excitement. “I’m from there too!”
“Really?” The two women were taken aback. “What’s your name?”
There weren’t many people who could be led by the heaven and earth laws. Just mentioning a name would suffice for recognition.
“My name is Reidan Schwartz.”
“Mr. Schwartz? Weren’t you guided by the heaven and earth laws centuries ago? There have always been legends about you in the Worstrual Realm. We sisters have always looked up to you as a role model. How come you’re still here after all these years?”
Reidan immediately felt a wave of embarrassment. He couldn’t possibly admit that had ended up imprisoned the moment arrived. After all, was somewhat of a legend in their eyes.
Jared noticed the awkwardness etched on Reidan’s face and quickly stepped in to defuse the situation. “Mr. Schwartz has an important mission here. He’s dedicated to mediating the disputes among the three races, which is why has remained all these years.”
He never expected that Reidan had such a formidable reputation in the Worstrual Realm. He had even become a legend.
“Mr. Schwartz, you’re truly remarkable,” the two women exclaimed in admiration.
“All right, let’s not talk here. Let’s find a place to stay first,” Jared suggested.
It wasn’t exactly proper for two women to be standing on a busy street clad only in their undergarments.
“There’s an inn not far from here,” one of the women said.
“How do you know that?” Flaxseed asked curiously.
The woman’s face flushed with embarrassment as lowered gaze. “We were captured and forced to serve that towering brute in that establishment. Only after had his way with us did decide to sell us off.”
The men couldn’t help but feel a pang of sympathy. Once regarded as queens, they had now been reduced to mere commodities.
“Let’s go to the inn…” Flaxseed urged, growing increasingly impatient.
On the way to the inn, Reidan looked at Jared with gratitude and said, “Mr. Chance, I really appreciate what you did just now.”
Jared smiled. “It’s no big deal. Remember this, when you’re out in the world, you’re the one who defines your identity. After all, no one else knows. You do know how to boast, don’t you?”
The group arrived at the inn, where the staff merely glanced at them before promptly arranging their rooms. Now that Jared had money, opted for a luxurious room.
Every room was equipped with a formation to assist in cultivation. With their rooms sorted, Flaxseed could barely contain his eagerness as prepared to make his way toward the women’s room.
Seeing that, Reidan called out, “Mr. Flaxseed…”
“What’s the matter? Do you want to have some fun too?” Flaxseed asked.
“No, no!” Reidan shook his head. “These two women are from my realm. Please, for my sake, go easy on them…”
“Darn, no matter how wild I can be, could I really compare to that brute?” Flaxseed muttered before walking into the room.
Upon further thought, Reidan acknowledged the truth. If the two women had managed to endure Biggo, then dealing with Flaxseed would be effortless in comparison.
Before long, bursts of shouting could be heard emanating from the room of the two women.
Jared found himself growing irritable, so decided to retreat into the Pentacarna Tower for some much-needed cultivation.

Meanwhile, within the vast and majestic palace, the city lord of Rhino City, Maceo Ochs, sat solemnly upon the imposing Dragon Throne.
Before him, two rows of high-ranking officials stood in silence, their expressions laden with concern.
“Have we captured the spy from Winged Tiger City?” Maceo asked.
“I have increased the soldiers’ patrols, and the entire city lord mansion is now under heightened security. No unauthorized individuals may enter without a valid token,” an elder reported.
“Winged Tiger City has made countless attempts to seize our fortress. It’s completely unacceptable!” Maceo growled. “Sooner or later, I will wipe them out.”
With gritted teeth, slammed his fist down on the table, reducing it to dust in an instant.
