*****“Argh!!!”People who had previously fainted suddenly remembered survival was an option and sprang up like resurrected spirits.Those who had been kneeling scrambled to their feet, abandoning all previous vows of obedience.Someone even lost a shoe, while someone else ran in the wrong direction, corrected himself mid-sprint, and nearly collided with three other equally confused survivors.One man ran straight into a pillar, apologized to it out of sheer panic, then kept running as if nothing had happened.It was pure, unfiltered pandemonium.However, unlike the first van…These two didn’t pause a bit.As soon as they finally screeched to a halt… after plowing through several displays and furniture, the doors swung open, and the occupants staggered out, radiating full authority, arrogance, and power.“What’s the meaning of this?” Borgia growled, his voice low but laced with restrained fury as his glare locked onto his third brother like a blade seeking a target.But his

*****Once the two brothers barked orders for their men to seal every exit, both factions exploded into motion like rival packs of rabid wolves unleashed into a slaughterhouse.They rushed out instantly, swift and aggressive, yet notably avoided interfering with one another.After all… this was no longer about petty squabbles, bruised egos, or pointless territorial nonsense.No.This had become a vicious, desperate competition.And with time bleeding away faster than dignity at a public scandal, neither side could afford to waste even a second on unnecessary conflict.Earlier, after departing the hospital drenched in blood, fury, and enough psychological damage to permanently traumatize innocent bystanders, the three groups had stormed through multiple locations across the city… places where various Bounty Hunters had confidently sworn that Xavier had been spotted.But each time, the result was the same.Not even a single trace of Xavier had been found.Some Bounty Hunters h

*****The Revercrests’ gazes flared simultaneously, and without even a second thought, both brothers lunged forward with explosive speed, practically launching themselves like bloodthirsty missiles.Their father, perhaps due to age, dignity, or simply confidence that he could still terrify people without unnecessary cardio, took only four deliberate steps.Yet somehow…All three reached the manager at virtually the same moment.The sheer force of their collective presence nearly sent the poor man’s soul ejecting from his body.“You are the manager?” the third brother demanded sharply, his tone aggressive enough to make it sound less like a question and more like an accusation punishable by death.“Tsk. Where exactly have you been since I arrived?” Borgia snapped immediately after, his irritation so palpable it could have been bottled and sold as industrial acid.“I…”The manager’s throat tightened. His brain malfunctioned, and his survival instincts screamed.Under the horri

*****“I… I apologize, sirs. I’m not very good at catching things.”The manager’s voice trembled perfectly, his fear appearing authentic.But before any of the three could further process his blunder, he hurriedly continued.“Moreover… even if I see the person in the picture, I might not necessarily recognize them, after all, I rarely attend to customers directly.”Hearing him, the three men narrowed their eyes, their murderous intent brewing visibly now… thick and suffocating.They didn’t even bother hiding it in the slightest, leaving the poor manager to nearly collapse under the pressure.Without even realizing it, cold sweat had already soaked his back, his legs trembling so fiercely that it was a miracle they remained functional.Yet outwardly, he maintained his nervous act.“How about…” he quickly pressed on, desperate to avoid letting the situation spiral into his untimely death, “I provide the CCTV footage instead?”Silence.“This…”The killing intent that had been

*****The image of Silas in the manager’s mind instantly grew even larger, his respect for him intensifying even further.At this point, he felt nothing but overwhelming relief.‘Fortunately…’ He nearly wept inwardly."Fortunately, I didn’t try to improvise on the instruction. I carried everything out exactly as Brother Silas planned.’The sheer correctness of that decision struck him powerfully now.Because after witnessing the reactions of the three Revercrests, the manager understood one horrifying truth… any mistake, unnecessary deviation, or sign of bias toward one side would have already turned him into collateral damage.Just then, Silas’s warning echoed loudly in his mind.‘Whatever you do, make sure you treat the three sides equally. Even the slightest sign of bias toward one side would be disastrous.’That instruction had become his lifeline, which was exactly why he hadn’t accepted any of the hand-drawn portraits earlier, knowing well that he wouldn’t be able to accept all
