FreeNovelChapter 0455 Zane's face was a mask of solemnity, even after the message was sent. He knew the identity of the culprit.
30 years ago, he was one of the Black Maple's Four Guardians, known as Half-Faced Bear—a man who never forgot a grudge and revealed his role as a killer. Yevgen Jaquin.
"Spread the word," Zane commanded, his voice cutting through the tension.
Zane narrowed his eyes and commanded with a grave tone to the young warriors of the Yanker family, "Lock down Yewspire Mountain immediately. No one but Alexander is allowed in!
"Alert me the moment anything seems off!" With a flurry of movement, the young warriors of the Yanker family sprang into action. They took their orders seriously and moved quickly. The entire Yanker clan prepared for battle, establishing a series of checkpoints at the base of Yewspire Mountain, sealing off every critical route.

One spoke up quietly, "Together, the ten of us might just manage to fend off a supreme grand martial. Please, let us guard the mountain's base. If we fall, it will be up to you to step in."
Defeat at the hands of Yevgen did not just mean losing—it meant death. | "Thirty years ago, Yevgen had already ascended to the heavyweight level.
With another thirty years gone by, his fighting skills are undoubtedly even sharper." Zane shook his head slowly. "If Yevgen doesn't show up tonight, we'll breathe easy. However, if he does make it to Yewspire Mountain..." He paused, the weight of his dread like a heavy stone on his chest, "If he comes, it'll spell disaster for the Yanker family. You must stick together and follow my lead!" The 10 Grandmasters of the Yanker family stood in silence, their hearts | pounding uncontrollably.

Yevgen was no ordinary fighter. He was a behemoth of a man, a super brute who had ascended to the heights of power, a true overlord. Even Zane, the | patriarch of the Yanker family, might find himself outmatched in Yevgen's presence.
As they waited in silence, the minutes slipped by unnoticed.
At some point, the eastern horizon began to blush with the first light of dawn, signaling the day's arrival.
"He's here!" At the hall, Zane's eyes snapped open.
Once clouded, they blazed with a fierce intensity, like a legendary sword unsheathed and ready for battle, locked onto the base of the mountain.
He came? The 10 Grandmasters felt a jolt of 9 surprise and instinctively cast their gazes down the slope, their brows knitting together in confusion.
From their lofty perch, their keen eyes could scan the landscape for miles. Yet, the whole of Yewspire Mountain lay serene, betraying no hint of disturbance.

"Hehe!" Out of nowhere, a short and low chuckle echoed from halfway up the mountain. The first half of the chuckle was distant, but the second half was
shockingly close, revealing a presence that moved with a terrifying swiftness.
In just three seconds, a hulking figure, his clothes in rags and wild hair obscuring half his face, landed with a near-silent thud from dozens of yards away. With a mighty leap, he crashed down before the Yanker family hall, his arrival marked by a bestial roar that ripped through the air.
It was the wild brute who had slain Quinby in a single blow, one of the feared Four Guardians of the Black Maple Organization, known as Half- Face Bear, Yevgen.
"Yanker kin, to me! Rally at the hall, on the double!" The Yanker family faced a dire threat, banding together to confront the
looming danger.
"Women, children, and the elderly, evacuate the mountain swiftly. All Yanker men, to arms! Any invader of the Yanker clan will be met with death!" Before Zane could even utter a word, 10 of the Yanker family's Grandmasters bellowed their defiance. They were all too aware of Yevgen's fearsome reputation. Despite their combined might, victory over that infamous brute was far from certain.
