Chapter 306 Returning to Highcliffe
Nixon and Anastasia left just as quickly as they arrived.
Wealth, power, status, strength–Leander possessed them all.
Even the mighty Shadow Division could no longer exert pressure on him.
They had no choice but to obey orders and retreat, not daring to linger.

Inside the villa, Leander remained seated with his eyes closed, quietly regulating his inner breath.
Unbeknownst to him, Darrow had put his name forward for major general, and the authorities had already given their approval.
However, to him, the so–called Shadow Division was nothing more than a flashy institution waving around borrowed prestige.
If they truly wanted to confront him head–on, even with their ties to the government, he felt no fear.
After all, he had more than enough rare treasures to offer the authorities.
Beyond the Phoenix Essence Pill, he still held countless formulas and reagents far ahead of their time.
Once revealed, they would shock the world.
At that point, his value would outweigh the Shadow Division’s, and the government would surely weigh the benefits carefully.
After about half an hour, his eyes suddenly snapped open.
A flash of lightning shot from his gaze, shattering an antique vase across the room.
A powerful aura surged from his body, rattling every chair and table in the villa.
Above the roof, the clouds gathered and winds swirled, as if heaven itself was responding to his breakthrough.
Leander clenched his fist and laughed wholeheartedly. He had been stuck at the Pre-

Transcendent Realin for an entire year
Over the past three days, he had refined Douglas innate vitality, transforming it into Nirvana Energy instead
That pure essence finally pushed his cultivation past the barrier into the Transcendent Realm
“So, this is what it feels like to enter the Transcendent Realm p>
The boundless strength within him felt like a deep sea without end, and his eyes gleamed with brilliance.
The Transcendent Realm had four tiers to it.
He was only at the entry level, but even so, his strength was already more than triple what it had been at the Pre–Transcendent Realm.
If he were to fight Douglas again, he wouldn’t even need to activate his Devourer Form or secret devouring techniques.
A single punch would be enough to crush him.
He cracked his knuckles, his gaze turning sharp as he looked toward the window facing north.
“Gareth, Reginald, it’s time I paid the Ashcrofts a visit p>
Leander rose to his feet, his bones crackling as his aura tore through the air.
Three days later, Leander packed his things at 10 a.m.
His first stop would be Highcliffe University.
He thought of Nigel, a professor at Highcliffe University who once traveled all the way to Ravenridge Senior High to give him a special admissions test.
Nine months had passed since then, and he wondered if the offer was still on the table.
“Daphne, I hope you’re doing well p>
He pictured the girl who had stood by him ever since he saved her, her image flickering in his mind.
He smiled faintly and pulled out a soda can pull–tab from his pocket.
Even while he ate, slept, trained, or fought, he always kept it close and never left it behind.

He still remembered how the little girl opened a can of cola with all her might, cutting her palm on the sharp edge.
Instead of flinching at the pain, she pressed the pull–tab into his hand, her childish voice firm. and unwavering.
“This is my ring! When we’re older, you have to return it to me and put it on my finger–then I’ll agree to marry you p>
Back then, Leander was just a clueless child, but he still nodded, storing it away as if he understood.
“Pinky promise. Don’t you dare break it p>
Over more than a decade, Leander had polished that pull–tab until it was smooth like a mirror.
Its shine had long faded, but to him, it was more precious than life itself. Content originally comes from
He slipped it back into his pocket, thinking of the last time he’d seen both Ethan and Daphne.
“How’s that kid doing right now p>
His feelings toward Ethan were complicated. Since young, he had been the protective older brother, shielding Ethan from every storm.
However, eight years ago, after Gareth crippled his meridians and cast him out of the family, their bond had been severed.
When he last saw Ethan at Silvermoon Sect, a ripple stirred in his heart, but he chose not to reveal himself.
If they crossed paths in Highcliffe, he wasn’t sure how he would face him.
As his thoughts drifted, the sound of an engine rumbled outside.
Frankie’s car had arrived, and a knock came at the door.
“Mr. Leander p>
Leander snapped out of his memories. Exhaling a long breath, his gaze returned to calm. “It’s time to face it all p>
He opened the door and stepped outside, ready for Frankie to take him to the airport.

At the departure hall, Frankie spoke carnestly.
“Mr. Leander, we’ve already set up the branch at Highcliffe. Tommy will be in charge of overseeing everything there. Once you arrive, he’ll meet you at the airport p>
“Good p>
Leander nodded and was about to head toward security when Frankie suddenly stopped him.
“There’s something I’ve been wanting to ask p>
Leander turned, a hint of surprise in his eyes. “What is it p>
Frankie studied him carefully, choosing his words. “Last month, you urged us to accelerate our plans and pour resources into establishing a branch in Highcliffe. For Jeff Enterprises, that’s no small step. I know you always act with purpose and foresight.
“Seeing you insist on such a bold move, it seems you have bigger plans. Mr. Leander, do you have something major in motion p>
At this, Leander chuckled and patted Frankie’s shoulder. “You’re right p>
The next moment, his expression sharpened, his tone heavy.
“I’m heading back to Highcliffe to have a drink, get an answer, honor a promise, and settle a
score p>
Frankie frowned, not quite understanding.
By the time he looked up again, Leander had already walked into the terminal, his figure slowly disappearing.
He turned away in silence, but in his heart, he knew that whatever Leander intended in Highcliffe, one thing was certain–his arrival would stir up a storm.
Meanwhile, Leander boarded the plane bound for Highcliffe.
As the clouds drifted past the window, his eyes grew deep and resolute,
Nine years ago, his meridians had been destroyed, and he had been banished to the mountains.
Now, after all this time, he was finally setting foot in his homeland again.

Three hours later, the landing announcement echoed through the cabin.
Looking out the window at the vaguely familiar skyline, memories flooded back to him.
When the plane rolled to a stop, the passengers got up to disembark.
Leander was the last to stand, his eyes burning with intensity. “I’m back, Highcliffe p>
