Chapter: Chapter 491 Juliet chuckled as she pulled away from the higher, staring at her dad with tears in her eyes while shaking her head.“Why would I be mad at you, Dad? I….Honestly, it was long overdue. Dad, they sent you to the hospital with broken bones, just to pressure you into practically selling me into that cursed Wes-Dalton alliance. They clearly don't give a shit about us, and now….it's high time we fought back.”Gerald stared at the father and daughter before nodding his head with a look of resolution. It was time he let these two in on who he truly is. He cleared his throat to draw their attention.“Well, in that case, it's high time you guys learned about my true identity, and how deeply I'm truly involved with these opposing factions.”He snapped his fingers, ordering Head Bodyguard Kevin to gather his bodyguards and clean out the corpses of those armed men, then sent the burnt ashes of Gavin Stokes straight to the Blank family's household. This has a silent but clear declaration of wa

Chapter: Chapter 490 Gavin Stokes knew that there was no hiding at this point, so he barked right back at Julian Dalton.“And so what?! I'm a pig! Sk fucking what?! You know what?! I'm done playing the smaller guy, Dalton! You can't touch me!”He pointed boldly at Julian once again“I'm protected! Unless you wish to deal with the Blanks family, the Wes family, and the Lambert family, then you'd better know what's good for you! How many armed men do you really think your advanced super bodyguards can handle before they meet their end, huh?!”Watching Gavin Stokes begin to laugh like a maniac, Julian was done. He was fully convinced that there was no saving this man.“It's clear to me now. I've reached a point of no return in this scale of battle against the group of opponents after me. On the grand scale of things, it would be stupid to continue in my passivity. I'm done.”Without another word, Julian turned to the AFSB Squad-9 bodyguard behind him with an outstretched hand, speaking with an eerily calm v

Chapter: Chapter 489“Hey, what's there to watch? All your men are dead, Gavin Stokes. You should be more focused on your current situation.”Gavin was shaking terribly, his body stinking with the foul smell of his own shit.“Don't kill me! I'm just a messenger! I was only trying to help a friend! Please, don't kill me! I have no personal grudge with Chancellor Julian Dalton, I swear!”At that moment, Julian's voice echoed through the terribly quiet hallway, following a mocking chuckle.“Oh?! You don't have a personal grudge with me, huh? Given the years of opposition I've faced at your hands, I find that incredibly hard to believe. There's no way all that effort you put into humiliating me all these years, are you just helping out Goliath Blanks?”Gavin turned around slowly as the blade finally moved away from his neck. He ignored his own literally shitty state, and went on both his hands and knees to face Chancellor Julian Dalton, walking towards him with his hands behind his back. The group of bodygua

Chapter: Chapter 488 Unfortunately for Gavin Stokes, there was no escape for him. He walked in here believing himself to get the tiger, and that Julian would be his prey today.Now, he's finding out how incredibly wrong he had been to underestimate this Chancellor's power and authority, and it had reached a point of bloodshed, the casualty being so one-sided against him.Gavin Stokes had intended to run through the crowd of his own armed men, but he didn't even get to make it to the elevator before he head-butted a firm chest, causing him to fall to the ground.Gavin's vision was blurry for only a second before he realized that he had run into another one of those super bodyguards around Chancellor Julian Dalton.“H…. How?! How did you get here so fast?! There's no way my men would have missed you?! Were you hiding out here the entire time?! Did Dalton anticipate my escape?!”The AFSB Squad-9 bodyguard said nothing to Gavin in reply. Instead, he activated a sharp blade like his comrades and placed the gl

Chapter: Chapter 487 The two AFSB Squad-9 bodyguards had activated the limited force field, combining their efforts to ensure that not even a single bullet made it past them.The bullets bounced back all over the place, shooting three of the shooters dead, and leaving some injured including Gavin Stokes himself.The antagonist held his bloody shoulder where one of the deflected bullets had pierced his left shoulder, causing him to stagger as his feet wobbled and he fell down on one knee, already sweating from the pain. He spoke while clenching his jaw, reprimanding his own armed men.“Stop! You idiots, can't you see that it's not working! Wait till they run out of fuel for that combined forcefield.”This last statement showed that Habin Stokes was informed about the Ar old family’s owned nanotech suit and its many features. True to his words, the forcefield can only be kept activated for a limited amount of time, as it drains energy super fast.The level of energy drainage is definitely on the same leve

Chapter: Chapter 486 The armed men yelled out in unison. “Yes, Sir!” Before the first two men could get to Julian, two figures jumped down in front of them, with a sudden slash that caused those two men to freeze where they stood, before they fell to the ground, unmoving.Gavin Stokes and his men were in shock at the sudden attack that they were met with. In front of the chancellor’s desk are two figures whose races can't be seen as they are clad in fitting suits that seemed to vibrate slightly off their bodies.These two make figures totally covered in fitting suits, up to their heads, have their arms out, and held tightly in their hands are incredibly sharp daggers, which they had used to kill those two men who were going to attack Chancellor Dalton a moment ago.Gavin Stokes was aware of what he was looking at. He pointed at the two male figures from a distance, his voice unstable as he tried to keep his rear in check “Are those….nanotech suits?! What the hell?! Thus, that stuff is expensive as fuc

To his surprise, his daughter Meghan came out of the jet, and she was not alone; she was with her husband Gavin. Although he was happy to see his daughter, he was ashamed to see Gavin, and he did not have the courage to look at him.When the two of them approached him, he embraced Meghan and asked how she was, then checked her roommate to ensure no one had touched her, but she assured him she was fine and doing well.Then he looked at Gavin and apologized for mistreating him all these years. In his defense, he stated that he was only concerned about his daughter's well-being and wanted his family's name to live on, so he asked for Gavin's forgiveness.Gavin accepted the apology and forgave him because he still loved Meghan and knew that a good relationship between him and her father would mean a lot to her.Mr Stallion invited them in, and Sophia was overjoyed to see Meghan because she and Har

Chapter: Chapter 556: Happy Beginnings Noah and Mel had the best time at the amusement park because they felt like children again. They rode the merry-go-round, roller coasters, and bumper cars with Mel's daughter, and they looked like the perfect family.They enjoyed the meals after the rides and took a lot of pictures and made a lot of memories; it was as if the day should not have ended because they had so much fun that they all fell asleep on each other while riding home.Noah's personal assistant could not help but laugh at how silly his boss was, and he was relieved that he had finally found someone who could make him happy, but his joy was short-lived when his phone rang and it was Kelly calling.The ringing tone from Noah's phone as a call from Kelly woke them up, and Noah was irritated to see that she was the one who called him and disrupted their sleep, but it was still good because they had arrived at Mel's house and he needed to help her carry her daughter to her bed, so he silenced his phone and assisted Mel i

Chapter: Chapter 555 : The Big Story : Unveiling Deep SecretsGavin received a call on his way to the brunch venue and was hesitant to answer it, but he decided to do so because it could be an urgent call, so he picked up the phone and was surprised to hear a familiar voice, Thomas's."Hello Gavin," Thomas said over the phone to Gavin, pleased to hear his voice after so long."It is me, Thomas, it has been a while; how are you?" Gavin responded to Thomas, pleased to hear a familiar voice after being away from him for so long."I am great, how are you?" Thomas responded to Gavin because he felt better after speaking with him, and he was also relieved to be alive because he knew how dangerous the underground network could be."Great, but I know you did not just call me to exchange pleasantries; what is going on?" Gavin asked Thomas because he was confident that he would not just reach out to him and risk both of their safety unless it was urgent."You know me so well but I have been keeping a secret from you but your father is the reason I have be
