Theophilus's face showed no emotion, but his lips curled into a menacing sneer. "Oh, it seems I've been too lenient with that Dante..." Theophilus mused. "Mr. Jake, that despicable Dante is truly wicked. If you want revenge, I volunteer to be the first to help." Richard said with a look of rage. "Stop with the flattery. You sent people to capture me and even shot at me. Do you think I'll let you off?" Theophilus asked coolly. Richard's forehead was dripping with sweat. How could he stand against someone like Theophilus, a master who wasn't even afraid of bullets? Let alone the fact that behind Theophilus lay immense wealth and power, not to mention his expertise in ancient martial arts... He had no doubt that if Theophilus wanted him gone, there would be countless ways to make it happen... "Mr. Jake, please spare my life! It was unintentional, I beg you for a chance to make amends! My life from now on belongs to you!" Richard bowed his head three times in succession, his face p

Leaving the grand Elysian Echo hotel, Theophilus went straight back to the X-Peak building, no longer thinking about the Alexander family. As evening approached. Dulcie and Theophilus finished work and descended in the elevator, walking out in front of the X-Peak building. Barrett had parked the car by the roadside, waiting for them. "By the way, Theophilus." Dulcie hesitated, wanting to say something but then stopping. "What is it?" Theophilus asked. "I have a class reunion tonight. Can you come with me?" Dulcie asked. "A class reunion?" Theophilus' eyebrows furrowed slightly. In the two years he had been part of the Miller family, he had never interacted with Dulcie's friends. "There are some annoying flies among my friends." Dulcie, sensing Theophilus' skepticism, quickly explained. "Then let's go." Theophilus nodded. The two got into the car, and Barrett drove straight to the bustling downtown area. Ten minutes later. The car arrived at a famous food street in Elysian

"Huh! Deaf to the warning shots, relying on his little fighting skills to hit Black Snack. Do you even know what kind of person Thomas III from Zenith Vista is?" Aylmer chimed in coldly, even more eagerly than Black Snack's cousin. They all feared Thomas III coming to settle scores, convinced that if he arrived, there would be a storm of violence, so everyone wanted to escape quickly. "You really are ignorant." Slap! Theophilus swung his hand and slapped Aylmer across the face, so hard that he spun around twice before rolling out of the private room. "Theophilus, let it go, let's leave quickly." Dulcie said worriedly. From her observation, Theophilus's actions were probably due to being overly agitated. His behavior resembled that of a thug, not caring about the consequences of knocking Black Snack down, swiftly creating a deadly feud. Violence couldn't solve problems and now that the situation had spiraled out of control, Dulcie was at a loss about how to handle it. Yet, she f

"Dulcie, who knows if you skimmed on materials during the project and produced a substandard product, but fearing you couldn't bear the responsibility, you decided to take a risk. After all, you had nothing to lose, so you secretly hid the jewelry piece and then declared it lost. Besides, except for you and your husband, none of us have seen what the King World final product looks like." Jena also stood up, smirking with a wild guess, her face showing no attempt to hide her smugness. "You're talking nonsense, I've never cut corners on materials, and this piece was perfectly crafted!" Dulcie responded, her voice filled with angry indignation. She could tolerate the doubts and criticism from the company's board. But as someone who saw jewelry design as her life's passion, she couldn't bear the humiliation of her work being insulted by them. "Ha ha, that's just laughable." Jena continued mockingly: "You dare to claim your work is the best? From what I see, maybe you felt your piece cou

Richard had already made a significant decision by involving Theophilus, not expecting him to eliminate Egbert of Radiant Harbor. "Who are you? Do you think it's your turn to speak here?" Rat glared fiercely at Theophilus. "Is this your subordinate?" Egbert coldly looked at Richard, questioning: "Doesn't even know the basic principles of who you bring along?" "Mr. Jake, this is Egbert and Rat. Whatever you decide to do, I'll follow." Richard said solemnly, then stood behind Theophilus. Seeing Richard's respectful attitude towards Theophilus, Egbert frowned, asking: "Who are you?" "Theophilus Jake." Theophilus replied nonchalantly, then looking at Egbert: "I'm asking you, do you have 'King World' in your possession?" "'King World'? Theophilus?" Egbert hesitated as if he had just remembered something, then suddenly burst into laughter. "So, you're Theophilus Jake, the infamous useless son-in-law of the Miller family? Ha ha! Someone like you is worthy to talk to me?" Egbert laughed
