Chapter 135
At the same time, in a courtyard on the other side of White Manor.
Ralph held a longsword, squinting as his eyes had a look of resentment and hatred in them.
In front of him, there was a pile of haystacks in the form of a human, and on the head of the figure, there was a paper with two big words on it, Vivian Montgomery.
Ralph abruptly swung his longsword, and there were swooshing sounds and rays of silver lights in the air.
In the following seconds, the human figure made of haystacks swayed slightly.
Then, it exploded into pieces and fell all over the floor.
Later, Ralph shook his wrist, and like a lightning bolt, the longsword pierced through the haystack head that fell in midair, and it was nailed to the ground fiercely.
The longsword’s blade precisely stabbed between the name Vivian Montgomery.
It was as if Benita was spiked to the ground.
After staring at the head for a while, Ralph spat and turned around to leave the place with an unprecedented look of seriousness on his face.
Then, Ralph uttered, “I’ll make sure you die tomorrow.”
His tone was eerily merciless, causing others to have their hair on end.

In another luxurious mansion in Evergreen Town, the night breeze slowly blew with a hint of coolness in the air.
As the candlelight moved, two shadows on the wall swayed.
A thin guy slowly caressed his chin as he stared at the dense text on the wall, looking as if he had his mind full.
He was so focused that he even neglected the graceful lady in a tulle beside him.
At that time, the charming lady appeared somewhat annoyed.
“Young Master Bowen, you’re known to love beautiful women.
Am I not worthy of your attention?”
The young man named Bowen Pullman did not even turn to look at the girl, and he answered, “There’s no rush.
Let me take another look.”
Although he said that, Bowen’s hand was already getting under the lady’s dress.
The young woman trembled as her eyes became hazy.
She then lightly bit her lips, but she did not avoid him.
“The names on this wall are related to the rise and fall of my Pullman family in the next fifty years, so how can I ignore them?” Bowen smiled, “Even though most of them are trash, it’s still better to be on the safe side.
Being able to become the oldest family among the top three families in Evergreen Town, the Pullman family never expects the enemy to make mistakes.”
The lady wanted to chime in and say, “Since you truly attach great importance to this, why are you still fooling around with a woman on the eve before the competition?”
Nonetheless, under Bowen’s skillful movement, the lady could not say anything anymore.
As she laid weakly on the bed, she caught a glimpse of the wall that had names written on it.
Some of the names had a red underline, which indicated the importance.
Then, she saw the name, Vivian Montgomery underlined twice.
The lady seemed to have heard the name a few days ago.
However, at that moment, she was so intoxicated that she could not remember anything.

The night quickly passed by.
On the following day, as soon as the sun came out, the entire Evergreen Town became lively.
This feeling was like a sleeping volcano finally erupted after so long.
When Benita arrived at the competition venue not far away from Evergreen Town, it was already crowded.
As the head of the clan and the supreme elder, James and George were already sitting on the high platform in the distance.
Only Evergreen Town’s influential figures would be qualified to sit at the high platform.
However, all these Evergreen Town’s prominent figures revolved around the competition’s witness, Dark Moon Sect’s inner disciple, Ian.
Peeping at the high platform from afar, Benita noticed Bokir and William.
As if she had a hunch, just as when Benita was looking at her, she turned to him too, waving and smiling.
Next, Bokir mouthed “Good luck!” at Morten.
As the competition was related to the spot for the sect disciple, the list of participants was already confirmed as soon as their own families’ trials ended.
Benita went to confirm his identity.
After they confirmed that it was him, someone was arranged to lead him to a massive makeshift room.
When Benita walked into the room, he quickly felt all eyes were on him.
Those gazes were filled with hostility.
Nevertheless, Benita expected it After all, everyone in the room was a competitor.
Moreover, there were more than 100 participants, but only one winner.
Hence, everyone here was considered an enemy.
It would be strange if one treated his enemy well.
Besides that, Benita was ranked into the so-called Evergreen Town’s top ten geniuses, and he even broke the battle arena’s winning streak record after that, which amazed everyone.
Hence, Benita was naturally regarded as the top candidate to win the number one spot, and his momentum was far stronger than the other famous participants.
That was also why the other participants could not wait to get rid of Morten.
Facing these hostile gazes, Benita snorted and swept his eyes across the room.
He was not deliberately targeting anyone, but Benita was already a half-step away from the Pulse Control Realm, and the third-stage and fourth-stage True Martial Realm warriors in the room could not resist his momentum casually.
In an instant, those teenagers were frightened.
They lowered their heads as they felt their hearts beating wildly.
None of them dared to take another look at Morten.
Benita waited until the rest of them looked away before continuing to move inward.
At this time, he caught a glimpse of a silhouette, hurriedly rushing to one corner.
“Eh?” Benita was puzzled, so he followed the person.
At this time, Leonardo was somewhat panicked.
After disguising herself, Leonardo arrived in this big room before Morten.
Hence, she already noticed him when he walked in.
When she felt Benita was approaching her, Leonardo’s heart beat faster.
‘Seriously? Does he recognize me? How’s that possible? I’ve already used the shape-shifting inscription to change into a completely different appearance to cover my identity.
I even added a thick layer of blanket around me, just to change my body shape…’
Just as Leonardo was letting her mind run wild, she felt someone tapping on her shoulder, which shocked Leonardo so badly that she almost shouted.
Thankfully, she managed to stop herself before that.
However, when she turned around, she immediately saw Morten.
Leonardo forcefully controlled her nervousness, and she faked a deep voice as she glared at Morten.
“What are you doing?!”
“You dropped something.” Benita’s expression was indifferent, and he pointed at the piece of feduling at Leonardo’s feet.
“That’s not mine!” Leonardo glared at Benita then walked away.
She arrived at a corner and patted her chest. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
‘Phew! So he didn’t recognize me, and it was just a false alarm.
That seriously scared me!’
Leonardo did not notice that Benita still looked at her, puzzled.
‘What’s she doing here?’
Although Leonardo’s face and body shape was tweaked, a person’s gaze would not change easily.
Benita recognized that it was her from her eyes, and the simple trial had also confirmed his guess.
Just as Benita was feeling baffled, someone spoke through gritted teeth behind him, “Vivian, you’re here!”
