Chapter 794: Chapter 794 A Friend In Trouble
All people were subdued under my command.
I glanced at the crowd, my face full of unspeakable majesty.
Without realizing it, I was no longer the weakling who needed protection to grow.
Now, I was more like a ruler, calmly facing martial artists loyal to me, radiating an indescribable calm and composure.
The oppressive atmosphere flowing from my body made it hard for people to lift their heads.
I looked around and said, "From today on, you’re all members of Heaven Gate, and Heaven Gate will become the number one sect in the world, or even the first sect under the heavens."
My voice wasn’t loud, but it thundered like lightning, making everyone tremble.
"Since you belong to Heaven Gate, you must follow the rules. I’ll issue the regulations in a few days," I said seriously.
The simple meeting laid Heaven Gate’s foundation.
But I knew very well that just these words weren’t enough to make a sect stand strong, let alone make everyone willingly submit.
So after sending them away, I went to the Medicine Storage.
I spent three full days refining a hundred pills.
This pill was called the Divine Seal Pill - not a top-tier pill, but highly effective. It could hold everyone’s life in my hands.
Though this wasn’t the best method, it was the simplest and most effective one for now.
After refining the pills, I distributed them to everyone.
"Swallow it, and you’ll be a member of Heaven Gate," I said coldly.
People looked at each other. Even though they were unwilling, they had no way to resist my power.
Watching these sect members take the pills, I breathed a sigh of relief.
The rapid development shocked the Maxwayne family.
"From today on, you control all the major powers in the Proseponian Kingdom?" Herman Maxwayne seemed to find it somewhat unbelievable.
I shook my head and said, "No, from today on, there’s only one organization in the Proseponian Kingdom, and that’s Heaven Gate."
Herman Maxwayne smiled bitterly.
The conflicts between various forces in Cordelia had lasted for decades, and no one had been able to unite them.
I managed to unite these forces under one sect in just a few days, which was truly shocking.
Not only Herman Maxwayne - even I didn’t expect to have such unexpected gains on this journey.
If this were within Pyro’s territory, it would definitely be detected by the Capital City Martial Arts Association.
In foreign lands, however, there was no such worry.
Through this experience, I also understood the effect of power.
The main reason I could easily take control of various forces was that I had become a Martial Saint with absolute power.
"It’s terrifying," I couldn’t help but say.
If a Martial Saint’s power alone could bring such powerful effects, what would it be like to step into the true Martial Saint Realm?
"Martial Saint..." I whispered, a touch of longing flashing in my eyes.
The next day, I prepared to leave the Maxwayne family.
Since the Martial Saint’s power couldn’t be maintained for long, I didn’t dare waste too much time.
After saying goodbye to the Maxwayne family, I left.
"So where are we going next, Master Mason Raymond?" the man with the mustache said jokingly.
I said seriously, "Go see a friend, and then head back to Pyro."
That friend was naturally Kathleen Drake, and my visit just happened to be on the way.
We drove all the way to the Drake Family’s door.
As always, the Drake Family’s vast manor showed the family’s extraordinary wealth.
However, this seemingly grand manor seemed to hide a sense of decline and wear.
I frowned and said quietly, "The Drake Family looks a bit strange."
The man with the mustache also muttered, "The whole Drake Family looks very tired."
I remained silent as I pushed open the door and walked toward the Drake Family.
Upon reaching the gate, I knocked on the door.
Some time later, the housekeeper opened the door.
"Who are you looking for?" the housekeeper asked.
I replied kindly, "May I ask if Miss Kathleen Drake is home?"
"Miss Drake?" The housekeeper looked me up and down, seemingly surprised.
I smiled, "My name is Mason Raymond, I’m Kathleen’s friend."
The housekeeper nodded and said, "Wait a moment."
After leaving these words, the housekeeper turned and walked away.
A few minutes later, the door opened again.
This time, the person who opened the door was none other than Kathleen Drake.
Kathleen Drake’s eyes were very complicated, filled with excitement, surprise, and somewhere, a touch of confusion.
"What, don’t you recognize me?" I joked.
Kathleen Drake wiped away the tears that were about to flow and said, "Just come in."
I, accompanied by the man with the mustache, entered the Drake Family’s home.
Kathleen Drake hurriedly served me tea, and although she tried to hide her emotions, she couldn’t escape my observant eyes.
I took a sip of tea and said, "You’ve run into some trouble, haven’t you?"
Kathleen’s expression stiffened, and then she laughed and shook her head, "I couldn’t have any trouble."
I raised an eyebrow, "Really?"
Kathleen quickly nodded, "Really, I’m doing great now."
"If you have any troubles, just tell Mason Raymond, he’s quite powerful now and will surely be able to help you," the man with the mustache said cheerfully.
Kathleen smiled but didn’t take it seriously.
"By the way, how is your father? How is his health?" I asked.
Kathleen laughed, "My dad is doing great, and he recently returned to the country."
"So you live here alone?" I asked, surprised.
"More or less," Kathleen replied with a smile.
Afterward, the atmosphere fell into a brief awkwardness.
As time passed quickly, noon arrived, and Kathleen showed no intention of keeping her guests.
"Miss Drake, we came a long way just to visit, won’t you treat us to a meal?" I leaned back on the sofa and said with a smile.
Kathleen’s face flashed with panic.
She said awkwardly, "Mason Raymond, I... let’s go out to eat, shall we?"
"No need, just eat here, something casual," I said playfully.
Hearing this, Kathleen’s panic became even more obvious.
She anxiously said, "I... let’s still go out to eat, let’s hurry..."
I snorted, "Miss Drake, if you don’t tell me what happened to the Drake Family, I won’t leave."
At this sight, Kathleen bit her lip.
The housekeeper on the side seemed unable to bear it any longer, so she stepped forward and said, "You’d better leave quickly. If Mr. Baton sees you, he’ll kill you all! And then you’ll get Miss Drake involved!"
After saying that, the housekeeper even took out two hundred dollars to place on the table and said, "Consider this a treat from me, just get out of here!"
