Chapter 416 - 387: From Now On, I’m in Charge of the Martial World
The color finally drained from Derek Vance’s face. "What are you going to do?"
"A child of the Kane Family was crippled. The same should happen to the Vance Family, don’t you agree, Head of the Vance Family?"
"You..."
"Master, the two of them aren’t in the main residence," Ditto Miles reported after scanning the Vance estate.
Aurora Sinclair stared into Derek Vance’s eyes and said coldly, "Contact the Head of the Quincy Family. If I don’t find my people today, the Quincy Family will get a new head."
Watching the live broadcast, the faces of Florence and Hubert Quincy changed drastically.
Florence Quincy in particular nearly had a heart attack when she saw Derek Vance trussed up on screen.
She slapped the back of her chair and yelled, "Outrageous—absolutely outrageous—"
The moment she finished speaking, Aurora Sinclair’s voice suddenly echoed from the live broadcast, "Outrageous—"
The word sent a jolt through Florence Quincy. A bloodcurdling chill rose from the depths of her soul, and she turned pale, trembling all over.
"Mother... hurry and call Evelyn. Ask her for Aiden Vance’s location."
When Aiden Vance’s location came through from Ditto Miles, Aurora Sinclair looked at Derek Vance and said calmly, "Go and bring him here."
"I’ll talk..." Derek Vance closed his eyes and said in despair, "I was the one who gave the order to steal the Fist Technique from the Kane & Ming Dojo..."
Aurora Sinclair nodded. "Bring me everyone who was involved in this..."
The live broadcast lasted for three days, ending only after every member of the Vance Family involved in the incident had their martial arts crippled.
At the end of the broadcast, Aurora Sinclair addressed the heads of the Seven Great Families, saying, "Derek Vance and his accomplices have shown themselves to be without integrity. They are hereby expelled from the Martial World. The Kane Family has returned—"

Arthur Whitlock remained silent for a long time after watching the entire broadcast.
He had originally planned to bide his time and wait for an opportunity to move against Aurora Sinclair and the Sinclair Family, but this display of absolute power chilled him to the core.
’How could he possibly make a move?’
Aurora Sinclair had crippled over a dozen members of the Vance Family with a single flick of her finger into the air.
’With that kind of power, who would dare to oppose her?’
"Not human... She’s not human..." Kian Whitlock, who had also been watching, muttered to himself as if in a trance.
Hearing this, Arthur Whitlock slapped him across the face. "Shut your mouth!"
He glanced around nervously, terrified that Aurora Sinclair might have somehow heard his son’s foolish remark.
"Cease all pressure on the Sinclair Family at once! Tomorrow, you will take lavish gifts to their home and apologize!"
Just like the Whitlock Family, the Quincy Family came to the same decision.
Florence Quincy immediately sent for Sharon Quincy, instructing her to bring lavish gifts to the Sinclair Family and to publicly announce that the Quincys and Sinclairs would be allies forever.
It seemed the tides of the Veridian Martial World had turned in an instant.
Zack Sutton had spent the last few days in a daze, his eyes filled with adoration every time he looked at Aurora Sinclair.
’So this is how incredible our dojo master is,’ he thought. ’She could cripple the president of the Martial Alliance with a word, and not a single person would dare object.’
As he snuck his fourteenth glance at Aurora Sinclair, a cough sounded from across from him.
He immediately snapped his gaze back and looked at the man opposite him, smiling sheepishly. "Mr. Beta, is something wrong?"
Beta Morgan clapped him on the shoulder and sighed. "Kid, you keep staring at Aurora like that, and you’d better watch out. The boss might challenge you to a duel."
Zack Sutton froze, his gaze shifting to Alvin Morgan, who was reading a book not far away. ’Could a man that scholarly and handsome really have a high Combat Power?’
"Don’t underestimate the boss. He’s a Grandmaster!"
Zack Sutton’s eyes flew wide, and his knees nearly buckled.
Beta Morgan lowered his voice and leaned in close. "The boss is as possessive as any man. He absolutely can’t stand anyone sneaking glances at his woman..."
"Beta Morgan, I can hear you," Alvin Morgan said mildly, the hand turning the page of his book pausing for a moment.
Beta Morgan jolted and shot to his feet. "Boss, I’ll go cut some fruit for Aurora..."
He shot off toward the flight attendant’s station as if his soles were greased.
Aurora Sinclair was meditating with her eyes closed, but the tips of her ears had turned a faint red.
***
This time, Aurora Sinclair and Alvin Morgan were on their way back to Sunstone to see Master Aerion.
However, when they reached the foot of Sunstone, they found Leigh Miles and Titus Miles standing at the entrance to the mountain path, waiting for her.
The two of them seemed much more mature than they had three years ago. Instead of pouncing on her like they used to, they performed a formal Ancient Martial Ceremony for Aurora Sinclair.
"We greet the Sect Leader—"
Aurora Sinclair was taken aback for a moment, pressing her lips together as she looked at them.
Finally, she gave a slight nod and slowly walked over.
She raised her hand and patted each of them on the head, saying softly, "I’m back."
The rims of Leigh Miles’s eyes were a little red. She looked at Titus Miles. "Junior Brother, give the item to the Sect Leader."
Titus Miles looked down at the Guardian Token hanging from his neck, yanked it free, and presented it to Aurora Sinclair with both hands.
"Sect Leader, this is for you."
Aurora Sinclair stared at the Token for a long while before finally reaching out and taking it.
"Where is Master?"
"The Kaelan Mountains."
Clutching the Token, Aurora Sinclair used Stealing Step to race toward the summit, vanishing in the blink of an eye.
