My Wife is a Hidden Big Shot

Chapter 467: Chapter 429: A Battle Between You and I

"Kael Miles—"

A murderous aura rose from Liam Winslow, who was seething with rage.

But Kael Miles didn’t stop, ripping away the Winslow Clan’s last shred of dignity.

"Aren’t you all just jealous that my grand-disciple, Dawn Miles, became the Martial God’s successor? Let me tell you, no matter how unhappy you are, it’s already a done deal. My grand-disciple is now a Great Martial Venerable, an Intermediate Supervisor, and the head of the International Penitentiary. Even if you stop her from going to the Holy Mountain now, she’ll definitely go in the future..."

The moment he said this, all the Martial Artists of the International Martial Alliance were utterly shocked.

They looked at each other in disbelief. ’That girl who donated the Body Refining Boxing Technique is actually the Martial God’s successor?’

’No wonder the Winslow Family has been so agitated, secretly trying to suppress her all this time.’

Liam Winslow looked at the expression on Kael Miles’s face and knew he had fallen into the old fox’s trap.

Originally, the fact that Aurora Sinclair had become the Martial God’s successor was known only to the Intermediate and Advanced Supervisors.

Now that Kael Miles had broadcast it like this, every Martial Artist on the outside would likely know.

Becoming a Great Martial Venerable and an Intermediate Supervisor was one thing, but becoming the Martial God’s successor was something else entirely.

This meant Aurora Sinclair was the disciple acknowledged by the Martial God, the future Lord Martial God.

They would never dare to move against Aurora Sinclair again. They might even treat her as a guest of honor and offer her their full support.

From now on, the Winslow Clan would have to think twice before trying to harm her.

"Everyone, stop! Are you trying to destroy this place?"

Suddenly, Merck Gold’s voice grew closer, coming from a distance.

After the Guardian Assembly ended, he had gone to the Holy Mountain for martial cultivation.

’His time wasn’t up. Why is he back already?’

"The Advanced Supervisors have issued an order: hunt down and kill the murderer who has been harming Martial Artists with all available resources."

"Yes, sir—"

「Elsewhere.」

Elias Lennox kicked over the man in front of him, who was wearing a toad mask.

"Idiot! Who told you to go out and kill Martial Artists?"

Toad wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and suppressed his anger. "If we don’t kill them, how can we make the Body Refining Boxing Technique disappear and help the Holy Lord achieve his grand ambition?"

"Foolish! The Body Refining Boxing Technique was already a point of conflict between Aurora Sinclair and the Holy Mountain. Now that you’ve killed people, the Holy Mountain has the perfect excuse to attack us. Aurora Sinclair will side with them to hunt us down. You’re pushing her right into their arms!"

"Shadow Master, the Holy Lord said it himself before he went into seclusion. If Aurora Sinclair cannot be used by us, she is to be eliminated as soon as possible! You’re defending her at every turn. Don’t tell me you still have feelings for her."

Before the words had even left his mouth, Elias Lennox, who had been sitting just a moment ago, appeared in front of Toad, his hand clamped tightly around his neck.

"I didn’t quite hear you. Say that again, Uncle Toad..."

His azure pupils slowly shifted to amber, and the Power Domain emanating from his body grew increasingly intense.

Veins bulged on Toad’s face as his complexion reddened, gradually turning purple. ƒreewebɳovel.com

Seeing the killing intent in Elias Lennox’s eyes, Centipede immediately fell to his knees and begged, "Shadow Master, please be merciful. Lord Toad only spoke recklessly because he was thinking of the Holy Lord’s grand ambition..."

Elias Lennox gave him a cold glance and slammed the man in his grasp onto the floor.

Centipede was terrified; he had seen the intent to kill in his master’s gaze.

"Since you caused this mess, you can clean it up yourself."

Elias Lennox strode past him and walked out.

Toad lay on the ground, coughing violently. He thought he had been about to meet the King of Hell.

"Toad, let this be a lesson. Even if you have a close relationship with the Holy Lord, the Shadow Master is still our master."

Centipede looked at him with a complicated expression, his tone severe.

Over the years, Toad had been ravaged both physically and mentally by drugs. The Holy Lord felt he owed him a great debt and had always indulged him, never expecting him to cause such a disaster.

If the Holy Mountain issued an order to hunt them down, without the Holy Lord’s protection, they truly wouldn’t be able to fight back.

Aurora Sinclair alone could probably destroy their entire headquarters.

"A man must face the consequences of his own actions. It’s just death, right? I’ve lived long enough anyway..."

Toad pushed himself up, slowly got to his feet, and walked out with a dark expression on his face.

"Toad... Don’t do anything rash!"

***

According to the Martial Affairs Bureau’s investigation, the culprit who killed these people was a tall, masculine-looking woman wearing a silver toad mask.

This was because someone had heard a woman’s unrestrained laughter.

Following the clues analyzed by Alvin Morgan, Aurora Sinclair led two Basic Supervisors and was the first to find Toad’s hiding place: a luxurious manor.

The manor was beautiful, filled with roses of every color.

It was far too beautiful to be the home of a brutal murderer.

Aurora Sinclair looked up and saw the person sitting on the manor’s roof, watching them.

"Welcome, esteemed lords from the Holy Mountain. And this young lady must be Aurora Sinclair, Miss Sinclair, correct?"

Aurora Sinclair didn’t waste time on his nonsense. She opened her hand toward him, then abruptly clenched it into a fist.

The person’s body was seized as if bound by invisible ropes and yanked directly from the roof to the ground.

He even slid forward several meters.

"Go get him—"

Aurora Sinclair said to the dumbfounded Supervisors standing beside her, then prepared to leave.

"Aurora Sinclair... you’ve been tricked by that bunch from the Holy Mountain! They just want you to fight the Holy Lord so they can reap the rewards..."

"Stop your nonsense—"

One of the Supervisors struck Toad’s chest with a palm strike, severely injuring him and rendering him unable to speak.

The two of them each grabbed one of Toad’s arms and dragged him toward Aurora Sinclair.

"My Lord, this person is one of the Five Venoms, not the Dark Shadow Lord."

Aurora Sinclair gave him a faint glance and said coldly, "The Shadow Master isn’t this weak."

The Basic Supervisor was at a loss for words, his heart leaping into his throat.

’Could it be that this Aurora Sinclair knows I’m from the Winslow Clan?’

Aurora Sinclair withdrew her gaze and said flatly, "Go inform the International Martial Arts Bureau."

"Yes—"

The Regulators who arrived to take the criminal into custody were Hogg and another Regulator.

"Thank you for your help in capturing him, Lord Sinclair." Hogg stepped forward with a smile to take the prisoner but was blocked by an invisible wall.

Hogg laughed. "My Lord, what is the meaning of this?"

Aurora Sinclair took a pair of black gloves from her pocket, slowly pulling them on as she watched him. "You’re very bold, and very clever, but you can’t fool me, Elias Lennox..."

The surrounding Regulators immediately became alert, watching Hogg warily.

"My Lord, what are you saying? How could I be a member of the Shadow Organization?" Hogg wore a shocked expression and looked around at the others in embarrassment.

"Are you or aren’t you? How about you wash your face with some hot water?"

As Aurora Sinclair slowly stepped forward, the smile on Hogg’s face froze. He gazed at her with profound eyes, and then the corners of his mouth lifted into a smile that Aurora Sinclair knew all too well.

"Junior Sister, you didn’t give him the letter, did you?"

Aurora Sinclair froze for a moment.

Elias Lennox seized the opportunity to strike, grabbing the head of the nearest Basic Supervisor.

"He waited for you for over a decade, yet you never went to see him. How heartless..."

A continuous stream of Power flowed from the Regulator’s body into his own.

"Stop—" Aurora Sinclair moved in a flash, trying to lock him down with the Power of Heaven and Earth.

Elias Lennox shoved the person in his grasp toward Aurora Sinclair and fled backward at an incredible speed, a speed that was already beyond human limits.

An incredibly arrogant voice carried on the wind:

"Aurora Sinclair, you and I are destined to fight, but not today! Wait for my signal—"
