To Hudson, this stranger had seemingly appeared out of nowhere, without leaving the slightest trace of where he had come from.Everyone in the office froze for several seconds before finally reacting."Who are you?""What are you doing here?"Ira was the first to recover.She immediately rushed toward Hudson and reached for his phone. She knew he must have recorded everything she had just said.If that recording fell into the wrong hands, it would become serious evidence against her. But taking something from Hudson was easier said than done.The moment Aurora's fingers touched his hand, she felt a sharp pain, as if she had grabbed the tip of a needle. She immediately jerked her hand back.Hudson looked at her calmly."By the way, I should introduce myself. I'm Aker's friend." He gave her an innocent smile. "I just happened to step away to use the bathroom. I never expected to overhear something like this. Hurting your own brother-in-law and forcing your sister to sign over the family

The people who stepped out of the cars were none other than Ira and her husband, the same couple who had been taken away by the police the day before.Under normal circumstances, they should have been behind bars by now.The fact that they were already standing here meant something had changed. But they weren't the only ones who had arrived.A young man stepped out of one of the vehicles. He had delicate features and long hair, and at first glance, he could easily have been mistaken for a woman.Ira and her husband didn't immediately approach the Esteban family estate. Instead, they stood behind the young man and waited for him to move first.When he finally started walking, the couple followed closely behind him.Their attitude was noticeably different from the day before. They kept their heads slightly lowered and followed him respectfully, looking more like subordinates than a married couple from a wealthy family.The sight made Hudson frown. Yesterday, Ira had claimed that she had

Inside the house, there were plenty of porcelain pieces, old coins, statues, and other antiques.Hudson personally went through every item, carefully inspecting each one. But after taking a closer look, he found that they were all ordinary antiques. There was nothing unusual about any of them, and none of them showed any sign of being special.Since he couldn't find anything worth investigating, Hudson decided not to waste time speculating. He called Vicente and asked him to look into the Rodriguez family's background in Los Angeles, California, and find out if there was anything they were planning behind the scenes.At the same time, Hudson asked Vicente to investigate the Bush family's history as well.His instincts told him that the Rodriguez family's interest in the Bush family wasn't something that had started recently. There was a good chance it was connected to something that had happened years ago. He wanted to see if digging into the Bush family's past would reveal any clues.

What the Rodriguez family wanted was already in their hands.Besides, Hudson knew the Rodriguez family would come looking for them sooner or later, so there was no reason to make a move right away.For now, the most important thing was recovering as quickly as possible and returning to his peak condition.After telling Aker and the others to notify him immediately if anyone else showed up, Hudson went back to his room.The first thing he did was enter the Fengtian Realm to check on Binx.The little one was fast asleep. Even when Hudson called his name several times, Binx didn't respond at all.Seeing how deeply he was sleeping, Hudson decided not to disturb him. He quietly left the Fengtian Realm and returned to his room to continue recovering.The next morning, Hudson stretched his arms and legs after finishing another round of recovery exercises. Aker was squatting nearby, watching him closely."Hmm?"Hudson suddenly stopped.His head lifted, and his eyes turned toward the main entr

Jans had thought he could use Hudson's arrogance to provoke a confrontation with the Tipcan Sect. If the two sides ended up fighting, the Rodriguez family would naturally be the ones to benefit. But he had never expected Hudson to simply mention one name and send the two elders of the Tipcan Sect running without another word."You have no right to speak to me," Hudson said calmly. "Call Dexter Walter instead."The two elders of the Tipcan Sect froze for a moment.Then they exchanged a look, cupped their fists respectfully toward Hudson, and turned around without saying another word.Jans was stunned.‘What was going on? How could things have turned out like this?’When he finally recovered from his shock, Jans instinctively turned around. The two men he had brought as his strongest backing were already gone.‘Who exactly was Dexter?’Panic began to creep into Jans's heart. He couldn't understand how Hudson had managed to make two elders of the Tipcan Sect retreat simply by mentioning
