"Is Amy the one who is in your class?" Rosa asked, and Zara nodded.

"She looks completely different. So she actually lives in this area?" Rosa asked again.

"I just found out too," Zara replied.

"Amy..." She called out to the woman while waving her hand.

The woman seemed to have already noticed them, so she was not surprised at all.

"Zara," she greeted in a fairly polite tone.

"Rosa..." She greeted Rosa as well with a slight nod.

After that, she actually gave Enzo a respectful gesture.

"Sir, thank you for killing Tiger. Life here was already bad before he came, but at least we could choose how we wanted to live. Ever since he arrived, everyone has been forced to live according to his wishes," she said.

Zara seemed about to say something but held herself back when she heard that.

She realized that her classmate actually had a very difficult life.

Enzo was not sure how to respond.

"This is what I should have done." In the end, he could only say that with a smile.

"We will remember your kindness, Sir," Amy said again.

"Amy, he is our uncle. The man who married our aunt last Sunday." Zara introduced Enzo.

When she heard that, even Amy looked extremely surprised.

Her gaze quickly changed as she looked at Enzo, as if she were looking at some rare creature.

"Uhm..." Enzo cleared his throat.

"At first, I thought I needed to eliminate every criminal in this area," he said. "But now I realize I don’t need to do that. There are things that are my responsibility, and the rest are someone else’s responsibility."

At first, he had even considered calling several university students to help him, but he hesitated because it would be too conspicuous and excessive.

After seeing what Amy had done, his perspective immediately changed.

By saying that, he simply wanted to change the subject.

"Sir, just leave that to me. I will continue training and continue fighting them," Amy said.

"You’ll definitely succeed," Enzo replied.

"Hahaha, Amy, your talent is the best in our school. I believe in you too. Unfortunately, today we have to accompany our uncle around the city. I’ll visit you here again later," Zara said.

"Thank you. I would feel extremely honored if someone like you, a young lady from an elite family, came here specifically to visit," Amy replied with a faint smile.

"This isn’t a bad place. I can feel more natural things here," Zara replied.

The three of them returned to the car, which then turned around, still driven by Rosa.

"Are you always close with Amy?" Rosa asked when they reached the main road.

"Not at first, but her talent really is extraordinary. A year ago, her physique was the weakest, but now she’s the strongest. I’ve given her a few things that improved her physique, so she has been grateful to me."

"Hmph, so it seems you’ve already started gathering followers. Are you planning to fight me with your followers someday?"

"Hahaha, you’re joking. You’re my trusted friend. Naturally, I won’t make you my rival. I’ll only help you. I need followers to withstand the pressure from my greedy older brother."

"..."

Enzo, who had originally only wanted to reflect quietly, was disturbed by their conversation.

’As expected of children from elite families.’

But he was too lazy to think about it, nor did he ask where else they would take him.

He only thought about how to increase his strength.

After everything he had done, he felt as though he had grown closer to the flames.

However, even though he had gained an insight earlier, it was still difficult to improve any further.

"Uncle, do you want to buy a weapon?" Rosa suddenly asked.

She slowed the car, and Enzo spotted a large store beside the road called a Cultivation Shop.

It looked like a luxury store, magnificent and surrounded by a spacious courtyard.

However, the items displayed inside were ancient books, swords, spears, and various other things that seemed to be used only by people from ancient times.

Altar Shop.

It was one of the cultivation shop chains with many branches throughout the eastern region of America.

Its owner was not a single individual or family. It was a publicly traded company, and each branch usually had its own distribution of shares, with the majority generally controlled by the local elite families.

"Let’s stop by," Enzo said.

Spiritual Weapons, even Tier 1 ones, were not suitable for him at his current level. However, he still needed an ordinary weapon made from strong materials that could withstand and complement his flames.

Relying only on his fists and kicks was too awkward compared to wielding a sword.

If he released flames while swinging a sword, the movement of his flames might become even faster.

Rosa drove into the store’s courtyard. Even the entrance was guarded by five large security guards with cold, intimidating faces.

They had probably beaten plenty of people before.

After the car stopped, the three of them got out at the same time.

The security guards generally looked at everyone who entered, but only for a moment, simply to make sure they were not troublemakers.

"Come on, I’ve never been inside here before," Zara said, suddenly looking impatient.

"Remember not to buy anything. We’re here to accompany Uncle. Don’t let us waste time because of you," Rosa said.

"I know. I already have everything I need to train my physique," Zara replied.

The three of them walked toward the entrance.

The security guards simply let them enter without checking them, clearly certain that they were from an elite family.

"Miss Howard, take some photos here too. Remember, we’re paying you for fifteen photos."

"I know, I know. Hurry up a little. I still have work scheduled later."

"You need to be patient. We need to arrange the items so the photos look more impressive and make people curious about our store."

The conversation was taking place right beside the entrance, behind the front wall on the right side, an area that was dark enough that it could not be seen from outside.

The woman’s voice, which he had heard earlier that morning, surprised Enzo quite a bit.

Alice Howard...,
