Aldrian felt a soft force trying to hold his fist back and stop him from beating the man who was already bloodied beyond recognition. He paused his punch and glanced to the side, where he saw a blond-haired man with piercings on his ears. The man wore black glasses and a neatly tailored business suit.

He was the strongest person here at SSS-rank level.

This man actually could control gravity with pinpoint accuracy. He could alter the gravity on specific places.

At this moment, the man was trying to slow Aldrian’s fist and weaken it by making the gravity surrounding it as light as possible.

Aldrian had to admit that he was quite impressed. This meant the man’s control over gravity on earth had already reached a very high level. He had the potential to become a powerful cultivator who used gravity laws.

But that was as far as Aldrian cared to think about him. He did not care who this man was.

He only wanted to continue beating the bastard in front of him.

As for the blond-haired man, he thought Aldrian was willing to listen since he had stopped his punch.

"I’m the branch master of the Red Moon Guild branch of Shanghai, Han Kuang. I heard that—"

Before he could finish his words, Aldrian’s fist shattered his control over gravity.

Aldrian continued the brutal beating as his fist, which was initially trapped within layers of different gravity, forcefully broke through it. Han Kuang’s control over gravity was impressive, but unfortunately for him, he was far too weak if he thought he could stop Aldrian.

Aldrian did not even need to use anything special to break the gravity control. The power of his muscles alone was enough to crush it apart. He continued beating the man in front of him while gripping his hair tightly in one hand.

Han Kuang gritted his teeth as his gravity control was broken so easily. He tried to manipulate the gravity around Aldrian’s entire body, yet it still seemed to have no effect on him at all.

"Stop!" he shouted toward Aldrian as he even stretched out his hand to strengthen his control over gravity. He gritted his teeth, veins bulging across his neck and forehead.

The others who saw this immediately realized that the gravity control of the Red Moon Guild branch master, Han Kuang, had no effect on Aldrian at all. They could see Han Kuang continuously trying to suppress him, yet Aldrian seemed not to care.

Or more accurately, he did not even seem to feel it.

The famous gravity control of Han Kuang, the ability that made countless people fear him, looked completely useless at this moment, causing everyone’s hearts to tremble.

"What are you waiting for?! Stop him!" Han Kuang shouted as he looked toward the hunters behind him.

The ones behind him were all SS-rank hunters, yet every one of them looked hesitant.

Even so, they still obeyed his order and quickly rushed toward Aldrian to stop him.

But before they could even reach him, the entire hall suddenly felt a terrifying aura and pressure erupt from Aldrian.

Everyone inside instinctively collapsed onto the floor.

Their faces filled with horror because they had never experienced anything like this before.

The pressure and aura were so terrifying that even the aura of an SSS-rank was not worth mentioning in comparison. The sheer presence alone affected their minds and souls, making them feel as though they were in front of a being they should never exist in the same realm with.

A higher existence they were not worthy even to look upon.

Aldrian ignored all of them and continued kicking the man that had become his target until the man finally fainted. He then turned his gaze toward the other two men of his targets and slowly walked toward one of them.

At this moment, he was not even releasing 0.5% of his aura.

If he released even half a percent of it, then entire cities from the eastern coast of China all the way to Korea and Japan would feel his aura, and countless people would collapse instantly.

Because of how terrifying his aura was, many people had already fainted, including the two men who had become his targets. But Aldrian did not care that they were already unconscious as he continued beating them without any disturbance this time.

After finally feeling satisfied from beating all of his targets, Aldrian sighed and looked around him. Almost everyone inside the hall had already fainted except Han Kuang, who looked as though he had just finished extremely intense training.

Sweat completely drenched his body, and his expression showed the struggle of trying to remain conscious. Aldrian then retracted his aura, causing the terrifying pressure to disappear instantly.

Han Kuang’s body immediately slumped as the tension that had gripped him for so long finally vanished. He gasped heavily for breath and did not dare lift his head to look at Aldrian.

Tears were already falling from his eyes, his heart still filled with fear, and his body could not stop trembling.

He truly thought he was going to die just now.

He only hoped Aldrian would leave as soon as possible.

He hoped Aldrian was already done here.

Although Han Kuang did not look at Aldrian directly, he could still sense that Aldrian was standing there. Then he suddenly felt Aldrian’s gaze land on him, causing his body to instinctively flinch.

’Just go... just go... just go...’

Han Kuang continuously prayed in his heart.

After sensing Aldrian standing there for several more moments, he suddenly felt his presence disappear.

However, Han Kuang still did not dare move even after several minutes had passed. Only after another five minutes did he finally gather the courage to move again.

He slowly lifted his head and looked around the hall to see whether Aldrian was still there.

After making sure Aldrian had truly left and did not return, he finally sat down and released a deep sigh.

He grabbed his own trembling hand, unable to stop the lingering fear and trauma inside him.

To others, he had always been viewed as a mighty SSS-rank hunter. A powerful existence capable of controlling gravity itself, making him both famous and dangerous enough that very few dared provoke either him or the Red Moon Guild.

Yet at this moment, he looked no different from a traumatized man.

He did not care if he appeared weak right now because what he had just experienced was something beyond anything in his entire life.

He had truly felt as though he was standing at death’s door even though Aldrian had merely released his aura.

That aura was far more terrifying than any SSSS-rank existence he had ever encountered.

He did not think such an aura belonged to a human.

Or even a mortal.

Han Kuang released another trembling sigh.

’What a terrifying person... No, there is no way anything could defeat him,’ he thought while shuddering.

’If he decides to destroy us, there is nothing that could stop him.’ He gritted his teeth. ’That bastard Ye Zhentao truly deserved his death. How could he offend someone like that?’

But then he suddenly realized something.

’Speaking of which, where is Li Zhanfeng’s group? Did they already apologize to that man or not? How the fuck have they not reported back after so long?’

As Han Kuang thought about this, far away near the Gobi Desert, inside the city of Dunhuang, Li Zhanfeng and his group had just stepped down from a bus at the station.

The moment they got off the bus, the exhaustion and irritation on their faces could clearly be seen.

They were utterly defeated.

"I’m fucking tired! We already traveled around the world and still couldn’t meet him! Even when we tried to predict their next destination and wait for them, we were mostly wrong! And even when we guessed correctly, they were too fucking fast and already left before we could meet them! Now they’ve even already left the Monster World Gate! We spent all our money for nothing!" Li Zhanfeng shouted in frustration while throwing his cap onto the ground.

"Well, let’s look at the bright side, Brother Li. At least we got to travel around the world and enjoy the scenery," the bald man beside him said.

Slap!

"Enjoy your head! Fuck, do you not feel any urgency at all?!" Li Zhanfeng shouted while slapping the bald man on the head.

The bald man rubbed the back of his head.

"I’m sorry, Brother Li," he said helplessly.

Li Zhanfeng truly wanted to keep beating that bald head just to vent his frustration.

"Brother Li, how about we just stay somewhere for some time while waiting for those otherworlders to stop moving around? If this keeps going on, we will never meet him and will only keep wasting money," the bald man suggested.

Li Zhanfeng clicked his tongue.

"Whatever, that’s the only option for now. Let’s stay here for the time being and wait. I don’t want to waste any more of my money. We need to make sure they stay in one place for a long time before we depart again. I don’t care even if the headquarters berates me because of this."

While Li Zhanfeng’s group was struggling to reach Aldrian, the man himself had already bought large amounts of food from the Hanging Gardens restaurant and brought everything to Mo Yuheng’s home.

Even the restaurant gave him special treatment because of his identity. The head chef personally came alongside him to serve the dishes at Mo Yuheng’s house.

Mo Yuheng and Mo Yiran were truly shocked when they saw the head chef from the Hanging Gardens.

Is this what Aldrian meant by going out to buy some food?

By bringing the head chef of one of the most luxurious restaurants in Shanghai with him to personally serve the dishes he and his team prepared?

The Mo siblings could only indulge themselves in this extremely rare occasion.

But their shock that day did not end there because after they finished enjoying the meal, another guest suddenly arrived.

And this time, the person’s status was even higher.

They were completely stunned the moment they saw the guest.

"Master Gao... the leader of the Hunter Association?"
