His Lordship Alexander Kane

Chapter 0568 "Throughout history, whether in the ancient world of martial arts or modern society, sonic attacks had always been a terrifying means that were extremely I difficult to defend against.

Even Caleb was no exception! Caleb's body trembled violently from the oppressive force of the Heavenly Silence Melody. The vital energy within his body surged like a tide, fiercely resisting the overpowering force of the zither's sonic waves. The main hall beneath his feet shattered into pieces, revealing the gap in strength between him and Kratos! Despite having the jade pendant left by his ex-wife, he was still no match for Kratos. The Black Maple Master's authority was not unfounded! Roar!

-— Within the hall, Antonio, Graham, and Mohan rushed out simultaneously, I roaring loudly. Three sonic waves converged instantly, creating a visible ripple of sound that viciously attacked Kratos.

I It was a case of sound waves against sound waves! Even though they did not understand music theory or sonic techniques, as peak Grandmasters, all they needed to do was channel their vital energy and activate their throats to unleash incredibly powerful sonic attacks! However...

"Trying to outshine me?" Kratos faced the four opponents alone at the top of the trees outside the manor gate. He was not overwhelmed but laughing wildly. "Grandmasters, Martial Overlords, cwhat may!

"I've almost reached the level of Lord of War. How could four small fries resist my I Heavenly Silence Melody technique? You don't know any better, so I'll show you what true despair is!" His finger touched the zither lightly, and I afaint blood-red light flashed at his fingertip.

Hum! The sound of the zither resonated! A tangible sonic blade appeared, slicing through the air and leaving a straight line. Almost immediately after plucking the strings, this sonic blade slashed toward Caleb's chest.

Creating a blade from sound was an incredible feat! It was a superpower of the Lord of War, second only to the Lord of War's Domain.

It was enough to kill ordinary Martial Overlords and severely injure pinnacle-

level Martial Overlords! However...

Hum! Formless energy slowly spread from Caleb's chest, containing what appeared to be a woman's sigh, like a gentle murmur by the bedside, completely neutralizing Kratos' fatal blow! "Chrissy Quantz?!" Kratos' ears twitched as he stared closely at Caleb's chest, his eyes suddenly lighting up. He was about 200 meters away on the treetop. "The token left by Chrissy is hidden in your chest!" He was right! Caleb lowered his head and removed a light green jade pendant from under his clothes, engraved with a phoenix spreading its wings on the front and the word Quantz on the back.

It was the final relic left by Alexander's

mother, Chrissy, before she died! "Chrissy..." Yeilyn had already rushed out of the doorway, looking up at Caleb's jade pendant, her eyes filled with [uncontrollable sadness.

It had been 15 years! Chrissy passed away 15 years ago. She had been married to Caleb for 15 years, but they had never truly been husband and wife, all because of that deceased woman! He immediately severed blood ties and expelled Alexander from the Kane family to form an alliance with the Foster family. However, he would only sit alone in the study at night, staring at the portrait on the wall and yearning for his son.

Then, there was that jade pendant, which had been resting against his chest for the past 15 years, closest to his heart.

I "Caleb, I know you've never really loved me. From the day I married you, I had I already decided to devote myself fully to the Kane family." Yeilyn fought back tears with all her might, casting a deep glance at Caleb I before summoning all her strength and rushing desperately toward the vast void atop the large tree branch.

She might not have been a martial arts master, but she was a Foster. She barely reached the threshold of vital energy cultivation; she could not compete with even the most ordinary guards of the Kane family.

However, at that moment, she had no regard for her own life. She was not Chrissy, but she could be like her, willing to die for Caleb and leave her mark on his heart forever.

"Yeilyn!" Caleb appeared to realize something. He

I leaped down from the hall roof, gripping Yeilyn's wrist tightly, his voice heavy and I stern, "Don't be reckless. It's not worth it. Not for me." i 'Not worth it? I don't care if it's worth it or not!" I Outside the manor gates, Kratos showed no interest in the display of affection. His fingers rested once more on the strings of his zither, the cold laughter in his voice growing louder. "Now that I've seen the jade pendant, there's no reason to leave anyone alive. After exterminating the Kane family, I can easily retrieve it myself! ""Caleb, Antonio, Mohan, Graham, and Yeilyn! Useless beings, hand over your lives to me!" Clang! As his fingers pluck the strings, the zither resounded!

bg ofl Five consecutive waves of sound blades, like a scythe of death, carved out five I straight paths in the air, firmly locking onto Caleb and the others' necks and appearing to sever their heads! I In that brief moment of less than a I thousandth of a second...

Twang! A snapping sound! The five sound blades disintegrated simultaneously in front of Caleb and the others, bursting into waves of air ripples and blowing their hair wildly without leaving a scratch on them.

Following that can emotionless voice.

"Withpresent, no one can shake the Kane family in the least—not the Zadra family or the Black Maple Master.

"Besides, you're not the real Black Maple Master, just a stand-in used to deceive

I others!"
