Chapter 483: Chapter 238: The Will of Heaven is Like a Knife

“Caught it!”

The next morning, when Jack Clark arrived at Mathilda Ward’s room, he received a piece of surprising news.

At that moment, there were only four people in the living room: Mathilda Ward, Damon Lopes, Crystal Boyce, and Jack Clark.

As for Marla Fiore, Crystal Boyce’s assistant, and her foster daughter, who was an ordinary person, she was not there as some matters were inconvenient for her to know.

Mathilda Ward nodded, “This morning, the Federation informed us that after your battle, the demon king avatar named Kautorus didn’t completely fall.”

“At that time, it depleted its divine soul’s power not only to try killing you but also to escape from the Human Race’s surveillance and tracking like a cicada shedding its skin.”

“At the same time, Kautorus and Acunus weren’t aligned in their thoughts; they were wary of each other during their cooperation, and Acunus had no idea about this plan.”

“We managed to capture and seal a trace of Kautorus’s soul, mainly thanks to Brudos.”

“This individual is the fifth in line of succession of the Buredora Group, achieving astounding accomplishments in both genetics and cultivation, and is also a very patient fellow.”

“To obtain ‘experimental material,’ he started engaging with the Demon God Sect and gradually gained the trust of The Purgatory Family, spending roughly seven years on this scheme.”

“He was only thirteen at that time.”

“Over the years, Brudos has been selling ‘useful’ intelligence to the Demon God Sect while acquiring copious resources from the mythical world through The Purgatory Family.”

“With those resources and the Group’s research assets, he has transformed his genetic war body to an extreme, stepping into the Seventh Layer and proclaimed to be peerless within the same rank.”

“However, he usually moves around in a clone body, with his consciousness connected through a chip implanted in the clone’s brain, creating the illusion that he’s just an ordinary person.”

“This is also why he has earned the trust of the Demon God Sect.”

“A second son of a top-tier family, lacking cultivation talent, ostracized by his family from a young age, desiring to change his bloodline—the image suits the persona of a traitor perfectly.”

“Currently, Kautorus’s clone body has been sealed and transported to the entrance of the world passageways, where king-level strong ones have long been waiting.”

“Next step is to lock onto the true body through the soul source positioning.”

“The Purgatory Family is divided into many races, with a collective power that’s actually stronger than the Human Race, but rife with internal strife. The War Demon tribe, to which Kautorus belongs, and another rival, the Kurole Devil Clan, are mortal enemies and sometimes even fight among themselves during major battles.”

“The true body of Kautorus, now in a heavily injured state due to the downfall of its soul avatar, definitely wouldn’t dare let the ‘King of the Kurole Devil Clan’ know, nor dare stay on the frontline, giving us a chance to eliminate its true body.”

“So that’s how it is.” After Mathilda Ward finished explaining, Jack Clark slowly nodded.

No wonder he felt something was amiss due to his instincts at that time. Even in a possessed state, a king-level being had died too easily.

At the same time, he hadn’t expected the Federation to have such a widespread network, with hidden hands in all areas, just waiting for it to emerge.

A grinning Damon Lopes said, “With this demon king Kautorus taken care of, only Blood God Acunus remains.”

“A mere Early Sixth Heaven attached body, as long as it dares to come out, either of us can suppress it with ease.”

The strength of these king-level soul embodied beings cannot be enhanced, so their threat is not as significant as initially thought.

Otherwise, the Federation would have mobilized a large number of high-ranking powerhouses to turn the entire world upside down, rather than send two top-notch geniuses to cooperate with Mathilda Ward in a fishing operation.

At eleven in the morning, the bustling Commercial Street of Mason was crowded, showing no signs of the small ‘catastrophe’ that had happened the day before.

As one of the most bustling cities in Gunaer, Mason boasts a population of over a million residents. Due to cultural differences, the architecture and customs here seem rougher and more open.

For instance, beauties in short skirts that show off their long legs can be seen everywhere on the main street.

Especially those women, with voluptuous figures, dressed in off-shoulder dresses or tight-fitting bodysuits, fair-skinned, and with distinct facial features, exuding a unique charm.

Besides, one can occasionally see some Genetic Martial Cultivators. These individuals exude a wild aura, with robust physiques and sharp eyes.

Some even display mutant features, such as an arm covered in scales like a Kirin’s or a head sprouting small horns.

Far from being scorned or feared, many onlookers reveal a look of envy.

Because this signifies that one’s Genetic Martial Arts have reached at least the Triplex realm.

Damon Lopes’s eyes swept over a beauty with impressive curves, and he excitedly said, “Brother Callum, I’ve found I quite like this city.”

Jack Clark gave him a weird look, “You mean you like how you can add lots of Beautiful Female Friends? Just be careful you don’t run out of red envelopes to give out.”

Today, both Jack Clark and Damon Lopes were made to dress in leisure suits by the forceful request of Mathilda Ward, forgoing their usual bodyguard or Daoist robe attire.

In addition, because they’ve been overexposed, they not only wore sunglasses but also donned a Duckbill Cap.

Compared to their low-key dressing, Marla Fiore and Mathilda Ward, who went out for shopping, were much more exquisite.

Take Marla Fiore, for instance. She wore a pink bodysuit with a white lacy collar and cuffs, paired with a white hip-hugging mini skirt.

Beneath the skirt, she flaunted long legs wrapped in white stockings, and silver high heels added to her sexy and bright appearance.

Mathilda Ward, on the other hand, was in a pair of slim-fit jeans, with a simple white bodysuit on top featuring a crystal-studded rabbit pattern in the middle, quirky yet fashionable..
