Worldly Overlord

"Stop over there!" However, before Devon could leave the scene completely, he suddenly heard someone calls him from behind.

In a normal situation, Devon wouldn't have answered, but this was different in several ways.

The first reason being that he was currently dressed as one of the main family guards and just left the crime scene was very suspicious, to begin with.

He had been called by his senior, who was also in the main family house, so he didn't have any other choice than to stop his movement immediately.

Though branch family members didn't dare kill the main family member, it didn't mean that the main family members were on top of the world in the Melendez family.

The rule stated clearly that only a main family member could kill the main family member.

Devon turned around, "Good day, senior Timothy and senior Jeffrey." Devon greeted the two senior guard men who called him.

Devon easily identified the duo's name as it was written on their clothes, facing this two-guard man, Devon acted like a newbie who had just been into the main family house as his face was down while he assumed a very shy posture.

Though they were both guards of the main family house, one's status was higher than the other.

In the Melendez main family house, they were two kinds of guards. The outer guards and the inner guards. The outer guards were guards that monitor and safeguard the outer part of the main family house.

While the inner guards were those guards who monitor and safeguard the inner section of the main family. Though in terms of power grading the inner and outer guards had equal strength, even if there was a gap between the two of them it would just be very little.

However, the status the inner guard had in the main family was several times stronger than the outer guard. This was why that outer guard had to be respectful towards the Inner ground.

Everything in the world was all about power and connections.

The guard which Devon had changed into was an inner guard.

"James!" one of the inner guards said as he looked at the name which was written on Devon's attire.

Devon took a step forward, still, his head was still face down. He had to continue acting like this because he could feel a void transformation expert was around the area.

"Jeffrey, let's go, the elders are around. Timothy said, he pulled Jeffrey away before he could even question Devon.

A few seconds later, the two inner guards left the scene, as the duo left, the void transformation expert who locked onto the area, also vanished along. Devon sighed in relief.

Devon knew he had to hurry up with things, as the elders of the Melendez family had found out about the death of one of their guards.

Though he wasn't afraid of a single void transformation expert, for a matter of fact Devon believed that if he was to go out with everything, he has he was able to kill a void transformation realm expert.

However, the disturbance it was going to create was unavoidable and if he were to do then the other experts would be alerted.

It was not something hidden that a Diamond rank force had above thirty void transformation realms and in the Melendez family there were about fifty void transformation realm experts.

One would think that considering the number of void transformation experts the Melendez family had, the realm was easy to attain. However, it wasn't.

Among a million cultivators, those who would become a void transformation expert wouldn't be up to a hundred. That was just how scary it was.

Except a miracle happens if those void transformation experts all come after him then his there was no escape, his death could be said to be certain.

So, it was better for him to quiet down and stick to the plan he had already made for taking away the orb of life from the great home.

"One of the soul orbs of the guard just lit off some moment ago.... The patriarch was quick to notice it, so he sent us here immediately." one expert who was accompanied by an aged woman could be seen talking to the guards of the main family house.

The expert who was talking to the guards was a male and the aura of someone who was at the peak of the spirit transformation realm, looking at his feature one could say he was a talented one.

While the aged woman beside him had an unfathomable aura around her, the aura was a cold one as it seemed to be telling people to back off away from her.

It was, in fact, the truth, as even the expert who was with her, left the woman to speak to the guards. The reason was that he was terrified of the aged woman.

"Senior brother.... Yes, our junior brother has died, here's he's the body." the guard who Devon met and was called Jeffrey spoke.

He pointed his storage ring to the ground and a corpse appeared out of it. The body was of course the body of the guard who had just died.

The expert at the spirit transformation realm stared at the body for a while before he then spoke to the guards, "Do any of you know him."

Jeffrey and Timothy shooked their heads simultaneously, even though they were both guards at the inner section, each of the guards had their crew.

However, the person who had just died didn't have any friends in the main family, not to mention having a crew. Ever since he arrived at the main family house, he had always done his duty smoothly and left afterward.

They were only a few people who knew him, and those who did could be counted with one hand.

That was how the guard's daily activities in the main family house went. To be honest, if it wasn't because of the soul orb which was with the patriarch, his death wouldn't have been noticed by any of them.

"James.... Why-How is this possible?" one of the few people who knee James ran towards his dead body which was on the ground.

The person was a female guard from the inner section of the main family house. From her tone of voice, she seemed to be very familiar with James and also cared about him.

She crouched down at James's dead body, placing her head on him, she sobbed heavily as she hit his chest with her fist in a grieved manner.

"Do you know him?" the spirit transformation realm expert said as he shifted his attention towards the female guard.

The female guard stammered several times before she eventually got the words out of her mouth, "He's my friend." She flushed as she said those words.

Her words weren't the truth, neither was she even telling lies. They were friends who had done everything that was needed to be done, all that was left was for the two of them to accept the feeling they had towards one another.

The female guard's emotion was so obvious that even all the people who in present could tell that something was going on between the two of them.

However, her man had died before the real love story could begin. The saying was indeed true, there was a woman out there for every man.

Who knew someone of James features could have something this special going on for him, it was a pity whatever it was going to lead to had to end this quickly.

"What did you just call him?" Jeffrey asked the woman who was moaning about the death of her lover. There wasn't any concern about the death of his colleague in his voice or his face.

That was actually how all of them who were here felt about James' death and if it wasn't because of the patriarch and elders, there wouldn't even bother about something this little.

Death was treated like a common thing to most of the experts in the world. If one couldn't avoid death, it was because they were weak.

If one was strong, they wouldn't have been killed regardless of the cause of their death.

The weak didn't deserve pity, instead they needed to be mocked for it as it was a shameful thing in a world like this.

The female guard stared at Jeffrey, tears were still oozing out of her eyes, "James, do you know him?" the woman said softly.

Jeffrey and Timothy stared at each other, the look in their eyes was priceless as they realized why that name sounded so familiar to them.

The name rang like a bell in both men ears, and they finally understood why the face of the body on the ground felt so familiar.

They couldn't be mistaken, they had just met someone who had the same appearance as this person a moment ago.
