An hour passed, and the aroma of roasted lamb wafted through the cave, tickling everyone’s noses.
Lilian, Claire, and the other women stared hungrily at the golden–brown goat being roasted on a spit above the fire.
Their mouths watered uncontrollably.
Gilmore, however, remained unfazed.
Spencer and Tillman stood on opposite sides, turning the spit to ensure the goat was roasted evenly.
The alluring smell of the roasting meat made their stomachs nuble in hunger.
Finally, Spencer and Tillman stopped turning the spit and said. “Mr. Reed, ladies, the goat is ready. We can eat now.”
Joy immediately lit up the faces of Lilian. Claire, and the other women.
Spencer and Tillman then lifted the spit with the roasted goat from the fire and placed it on a clean rock slab.
Everyone then began to feast.
Forgetting about manners and decorum. Lilian. Claire, and the women tore into the lamb, savoring each bite.
In just a few minutes, the group of nine devoured the entire sixty–pound roasted goat, leaving not a shred behind.
It was a meal that left them all thoroughly satisfied.
Just as they were basking in the afterglow of a delightful meal, the sound of whooshing air echoed from outside the cave.
It sounded like a group was approaching.
“Mr. Wade, it’s this cave up ahead. We saw smoke coming out of it just a moment ago,” an elderly voice reported.
“Advance!” came a stern command.
The air in the cave suddenly grew tense. Gilmore and the others felt the cavern shake vigorously, as through an earthquake had erupted
Rocks tumbled from the ceiling of the cave, accompanied by a rain of dirt.
Seeing this, Gilmore’s brows furrowed, and a sharp gleam flashed in his eyes.
He quickly summoned his anima
Boom!
A burst of purple light enveloped Gilmore, Spencer, Tillman, Lilian, and the others, forming a protective barrier around.
them.
The purple light shield radiated a powerful energy-
Any rocks or dirt that fell on it were instantly repelled.
Soon, the violent shaking of the cave ceased.
From outside came a cold voice tinged with anger, “Young man, you took advantage of me and stole from you can just hide inside this cave?”
me
Do you
think
Without a doubt, the voice was addressing Gilmore inside the cave
Upon hearing the voice. Spencer remarked. “Mr. Reed, isn’t that the voice of the man in white?
Tillman, Lilian, and the others also recognized it.
They hadn’t expected the man in white to catch up so quickly.
Recalling that someone had mentioned seeing smoke coming from the cave to the man in white.
They immediately realized that the smoke from roasting the goat had given away their hiding spot in the cave.
“We really let our guard down, they both thought in unison.
Feeling guilty. Spencer turned to Gilmore and said, “I didn’t anticipate that the smoke from roasting the goat would reveal UNIT M whereabouts.”
Yet, Gilmore simply looked back with a composed expression and said, “Let’s head out.”
Whoosh!
The purple light shield soared out of the cave, and Gilmore, leading Spencer, Tillman, and Lilian along with five other women, flew out into the open sky,
In the heavens above, a man dressed in white robes stood, surrounded by twenty or thirty eklers in black robes, all hovering mid–air. Around each of them swirled a purple aura that emitted an overwhelmingly powerful presence.
The man in white, who seemed to be the leader, had numerous injuries on his face, and his hair looked as messy as a bird’s
His once pristine white attire was now tattered and torn, making him look almost like a beggar. Bits and pieces of his skin peeked out from various places.
When a gust of wind blew by, the rags that were once his clothes fluttered, making him look downright comical.
Seeing this, Lilian, Claire, and the rest of the women couldn’t hold back their laughter any longer and burst out giggling.
The man in white obviously knew they were mocking him.
His thoughts flashed back to the moment when Gilmore, at the Dragon Hall, had deliberately made a loud noise while closing the door, waking the slumbering giant dragon.
Because of this mischief, the man in white had almost lost his life to the giant dragon’s wrath.
Although he had narrowly escaped, he didn’t come out unscathed.
The spiritual weapons he normally hesitated to use were all turned to dust under the giant dragon’s assault.
By relying on the many spiritual weapons he had with him the man in white managed to escape from Dragon Hall.
Yet now, he didn’t possess a single one of these spiritual weapons.
Having paid such a steep price and barely escaping with his life, his animosity towards Gilmore was palpable.
With a piercing gaze, the man in white locked eyes with Gilmore “Who are you, young man? Why did you venture into the Dragon Egg Island of the Dragon Clan?”
A hint of amusement flickered across Gilmore’s lips as he responded, “I am Gilmore. I came to Dragon Egg Island to reclaim the dragon, this sacred being, and return it to Eldoria.”

Gilmore made no attempt to hide his identity.
Given his overwhelming strength in comparison to the man in white, even a hundred of him would pose no challenge to
Gilmore.
There was simply no need for deception.
The man in white furrowed his brow as if piecing something together. “Your name is Gilmore? Did you come from
Mescount?
Gilmore replied, “Indeed, I traveled from Mescourt and intended to return to Eldoria. But unexpectedly, I encountered an enchantment and ended up on Dragon Egg Island.
“To my surprise, I found dragons still guarding this place.
Therefore, I intend to take the dragon egg back and let the dragon defend Eldoria, becoming the true mythical creature of Eldoria.
The man in white coldly responded, “It’s indeed you! Many of the martialists in Newville from the Eulogian Club were defeated by you and your team.
“How ironic that we would cross paths here. Fate really has a way of bringing enemies together.
“Hand over the Royal Dragon Egg, and surrender.
You’ll come with me to the Eulogian Club’s headquarters where my father, the cult master, will interrogate you and send you to hell
Upon hearing this, Spencer, Tillman, Lilian and the rest confirmed their suspicion, this man in white was indeed from the Eulogian Club
Gilmore, after hearing the man’s words, laughed, “The world might fear the Eulogian Club, but I certainly don’t.
“Today is a good day to stand up for justice and eliminate the likes of you.”
The man in white threw his head back and laughed heartily, “Ha! Such bravado!!
“Just because you defeated a few of our martialists, you think you can take down the entire Eulogian Club?
“Let me. Vincent Wade, enlighten you. Many people have claimed they’d bring down Eulogian Clubs.
“But in the end, all met their demise. And you, young man, will soon share their fate.”
As he spoke, the man’s eyes sharpened, radiating an intense intent to kill, directed at Gilmore.
But with Gilmore’s superior strength, he felt no pressure from this intimidation.
It was as if the threat was just hot air.
“Mr. Wade,” Gilmore smirked, “I’m eager to see how you plan on executing that.” With that, he swiftly moved out of the purple light shield
Meanwhile, Spencer and the others stayed safely inside it.
Vincent, observing Gilmore who was now merely 15 feet away, had a mocking smile playing on his lips.
There was a fierce glint in his eyes, thinking, “If this young man wishes for death. Il gladly grant it.”
Furthermore, Vincent’s gaze settled on Lilian, Claire, and the other strikingly beautiful women.

After dealing with Gilmore, Vincent had plans to claim all of Gilmore’s women for himself.
Being the young master of the Eulogian Club, Vincent was known not only for his cruel and cold nature but also for his infatuation with beautiful women, especially those who were stunningly gorgeous.
“Attack!” Vincent commanded a group of about twenty to thirty black–robed elders.
The black–robed elders nodded in agreement and immediately swooped down, surrounding Gilmore in a flash.
A purple glow emanated from these elders, signaling the activation of their core energy and releasing an overwhelming aura of power.
All of them possessed the strength of cultivators. Apart from those at the beginner’s level, they also possessed the strength of the intermediate level.
Gilmore hadn’t expected that the Eulogian Clubs would have actual cultivators.
And not just one or two, but as many as twenty or thirty of them
It seemed that the cultivators, believed to have vanished for thousands of years, hadn’t really disappeared.
Otherwise, the Eulogian Club couldn’t possibly have so many cultivators..
However, regardless of the beginner’s level or the intermediate level these black–robed elders from the Eulogian Club belonged to, Gilmore wasn’t overly concerned.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
In an instant, four or five of the robed elders, as fast as lightning, launched their attacks on Gilmore.
In the face of their attacks, the power of the storm was terrifying
Gilmore remained unmoved, not even batting an eyelid, allowing the four or five elders to land their blows directly on him.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Loud, ground–shaking thuds echoed as if even the air itself trembled.
But in a shocking turn of events, the powerful blows of the robed elders, which seemed capable of leveling a mountain, felt like mere waves crashing against a solid rock when they met Gilmore’s body.
Gilmore remained entirely unscathed.
On the contrary, the four or five black–robed elders who had struck him were violently thrown back by the impact.
Vincent was taken aback, and so were the other black–robed elders who had yet to attack
Even those at the beginner’s level and the intermediate level were no match for Gilmore.
What was even more astonishing was that Gilmore hadn’t even retaliated. He had just allowed their attacks to land on him.
Anyone else would’ve been shattered into a thousand pieces by such powerful blows, but not Gilmore.
It felt as if they were merely tickling him.
Gilmore’s strength was off the charts.
It was no wonder that the martialists of the Eulogian Club in Newville weren’t his match.

“Attack!” Vincent, now frustrated by realizing Gilmore’s unmatched strength, shouted at the remaining black–robed elders.
In a split second, all the robed elders charged towards Gilmore.
A gleam flashed in Gilmore’s eyes, and then his figure swiftly darted out.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of fists and palms colliding echoed repeatedly.
Along with these sounds came agonizing screams
The next thing everyone saw was over twenty black–robed elders being tossed around like kites with severed strings, flying in every direction.
This was soon followed by the sound of crashing.
Thud after thud.
Over twenty black–robed elders smashed into the valley floor below, creating deep craters upon impact.
After that, silence prevailed.
Suddenly, Vincent was the only one left hovering in the sky.
Several feet away from him, Gilmore stood, suspended in mid–air, radiating a powerful aura.
Panic surged through Vincent.
In an instant, about twenty to thirty cultivation martialists of the Eulogian Club had been defeated.
Vincent, whose strength was comparable to the black–robed elders, already saw the writing on the wall without even engaging in combat.
Forcing a smile on his face, Vincent addressed Gilmore, “Mr. Reed, it seems we’ve had some misunderstandings.
“You’re right. Dragons are the most sacred beings in Eldoria, and you should rightfully take it back.
“I deeply regret my earlier offenses. I assure you, from this day on, the Eulogian Club will no longer oppose you.”
The very reason Vincent was saying this was his understanding of the inevitable- battling Gilmore would lead him down at one–way street to doom.
To save his life, Vincent was willing to swallow his pride.
However, Gilmore remained indifferent.
“Mr. Wade,” he said, his eyes glinting with determination, “it’s too late. I must eradicate you and the Eulogian Club”
There was no room for negotiation.
Hearing this, even knowing he was no match for Gilmore, anger bubbled inside Vincent.
His gaze was sharp as a knife, he retorted, “Gilmore, don’t get too cocky. You think you can wipe out the Eulogian Club?
Dream on
Tm not afraid to tell you that the Eulogian Club has deep ties with the malevolent cult of the Cultivation Realm.

4:3 Fri, Oct 18
Cultivation Realm won’t let you off the hook.”
Gilmore chuckled coldly. “No matter how powerful the forces behind you and the Eulogian Club are, I’m not afraid.”
Gilmore then added, “However, to obliterate the Eulogian Club, I need you. I won’t kill you today. Consider yourself a prisoner
Vincent’s face contorted in anger. He thought. This was the very definition of pushing someone too far
Even if Vincent wasn’t a match for Gilmore, they hadn’t even crossed blows yet. Gilmore shouldn’t have treated him as a captive right off the bat.
It felt like Vincent was being dismissed, as if he had no right to fight back at all.
“Gilmore, even if I were to fall in battle today at Dragon Egg Island, I’d never become your captive… Vincent’s voice was dripping with anger. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
But before he could finish, Gilmore flicked his finger.
With a sharp whistle, a sound like tearing air was heard.
In a flash, a surge of anima from Gilmore’s fingertip struck a trigger point on Vincent.
Suddenly, Vincent found himself paralyzed, and then, he plummeted straight down.
With a swift thud, Vincent landed, embedding deep into the ground. Like a stake driven into the earth, everything below his neck was buried beneath the soil, leaving only his head exposed
He was immobile, stuck like a post.
Despair welled up inside Vincent.
Without even a real fight, his trigger point had been sealed, and now he was entrenched in the ground, with just his head poking out.
Now, he was completely at the mercy of his enemies.
Up in the sky, Gilmore retreated inside the purple light shield, which then descended to the ground.
Cilmore, Spencer, Tillman, Lilian, and the others now stood around Vincent, whose head was the only thing visible above the surface.
Smiles formed on their faces.
“Gilmore, you ambushed me! You’re despicable!
“Release me at once!
“My father will make you pay for this!”
The head–only Vincent continued his tirade.
