Theophilus had no desire to indulge in pointless dialogue with the Radisson. Every Radiant Harbor inhabitant was familiar with the Radissons' modus operandi. From the upper echelons to the family's younger generations, they all carried an aura of divine privilege, treating Radiant Harbor like their playground. "Understood." Hades responded respectfully, nodding before turning to confront Jasper's mob. "Throw them where? Hell, I've never met anyone as audacious as you!" Jasper seethed, lunging forward, intending to strike, but Hades held him back. He couldn't comprehend such idiocy. Openly declaring that the victim was a Radisson? How many lives would Jake have to offer to compensate for this? Crack. Crack. Crack. Hades made quick work of the pandering sycophants with several well-aimed slaps, silencing their cries and bruising their faces. "You! You!" Jasper gaped at Hades in surprise, not expecting him to act with such quick, decisive brutality. "Get out!" Hades grabbed Jaspe

Wait for death! These two words were like a bolt of lightning striking Jasper's heart. Jasper was stunned as though he'd been struck by lightning, his eyes wide, staring at Theophilus in surprise. Theophilus' face was still as calm as ever, with no change in his expression. Jasper felt a chilling terror inside, finding this man mysterious and sinister. How terrifying. Who would've thought Theophilus could command such respect from his father-in-lawr Raine? Jasper approached Theophilus, his eyes dazed, his face in agony, and he bowed his head, handing over the phone to Theophilus, stuttering: "Boss, Boss Jake, I... my father-in-law wants to speak with you." At that moment, he wished for nothing more than to carve out a hole in the earth and vanish. So immense was his shame. Just a short while ago, he was taunting Theophilus with an air of superiority. Still, to his dismay, he realized that Theophilus was a true powerhouse, commanding respect even from his father-in-law as though h

"Father, father-in-law, I, I can't stand it. I can't accept this!" Jasper lay on the ground, panting, repeating countless times, his eyes full of hatred and maliciousness: "I can't accept being crippled like this. I must find my father and bring out the Radisson family." "This Theophilus, what kind of god is he? Why should father-in-law be afraid of him?" "You fool!" Raine angrily shouted, his face pale: "And you still want to involve the Radisson family? Do you want to die?" "Don't ask why anymore. During this time, you better recuperate in the hospital, and I'll invite top foreign experts to treat you to see if your legs can be healed." Raine said solemnly. "Take him to the hospital." Raine ordered without a hint of patience, signaling the bodyguard beside him to carry Jasper out of the Center Rain tea house. As Raine's visage grew cold and stern, his fingers danced over the phone, dialing numbers rapidly. The sudden appearance of Theophilus had exerted overwhelming pressure on

Being the crown jewel of the James conglomerate in Radiant Harbor, Lillian held unparalleled sway. In days of yore, her influence would have been on par with that of a reigning princess, an unreachable celestial existence. Without their academic ties, many among them, even those with some societal stature and moderate wealth, wouldn't be deemed worthy of sharing a coffee with Lillian. Dulcie nodded, her tone firm: "I am indeed running a gemstone corporation in Elysian Echo. I'm here in Radiant Harbor for business, but most dealings are nearing completion. We might soon establish a branch here." "Oh? Really, Dulcie? You're branching out to Radiant Harbor? That's commendable, but the gemstone business here isn't a piece of cake." Lillian retorted with a hint of skepticism: "You've been absent from Radiant Harbor for years. How did you manage to establish connections? Without them, business here can be quite challenging." Dulcie's brow furrowed slightly. Lillian's demeanor during this

Lillian looked at Theophilus, a silent laugh in her heart; indeed, he was nothing but a parasitic loafer, only good at deceiving women. Pretending so well, she wondered where he rented that car from, and even hiring a foreigner to pose as his bodyguard, looking so dignified. Theophilus glanced at Lillian, recognizing her as the one who took Dulcie's phone to speak to him. Maintaining minimal courtesy, Theophilus responded: "Indeed." "That's quite the car, Theophilus, is it yours?" Lillian asked teasingly. Theophilus frowned slightly, who talks like this, clearly showing disdain? Theophilus replied indifferently: "You could say that." He didn't know what these people were thinking, that Bentley was just a car he had Hades casually pick up from the Mid restaurant. "You could say that? Ha ha, you're quite something." Lillian said with a meaningful smile. Suddenly, everyone focused on Theophilus's car, their faces skeptical. They believed Theophilus couldn't afford such a luxury v
