Chapter 131
The next morning, just as the first rays of sunlight spread across Lancaster Town, Christopher and the others prepared to leave. But the moment they stepped outside— They were met with a scene that made them pause. The entire town…Had gathered. Men, women, elders, and even children stood quietly along the roadside, forming a long line that stretched all the way to the entrance. Their faces were filled with gratitude, reluctance… and a hint of sadness. It felt less like a farewell— And more like sending off someone who had changed their fate. Howard couldn’t help but smile as he stepped forward and clasped Elder Trump’s hand firmly. “Elder Trump,” he said warmly, “you really didn’t have to come see us off. We can manage on our own.” Trump laughed heartily, his eyes narrowing into crescents as his usual approachable demeanor returned. “Haha! What are you saying? How could we not send off our benefactors?” he replied. Then, waving his hand lightly, he added, “Alright, alright.

The moment Faith opened her mouth to scream again— Needle’s expression turned vicious. Without hesitation, he clamped his hand tightly over her mouth, muffling her cries before they could carry any further. “Mmhh—!!” Faith struggled violently, twisting and kicking her small body with all her strength. Panic filled her eyes as tears began to stream down her cheeks. But she didn’t give up. With a sudden burst of resistance, she opened her mouth and bit down hard on Needle’s hand. Her small teeth sank into his skin, the pain was sharp and merciless. “Ugh—!” Needle grimaced in pain, his face contorting for a brief moment. The bite was far stronger than he had expected from a child. For an instant, his grip loosened. But he quickly tightened it again. There was no time to waste. His eyes darted around nervously. He knew very well— If he delayed even a little longer, the Lancaster family’s nanny would arrive. And if that happened… Everything would be over.
Chapter 134
In less than an hour— Lisle City changed completely. The police sirens echoed as police vehicles sped in every direction of the streets in the city. Officers were deployed in large numbers, sweeping through every district, every alley, every corner that could possibly hide even the smallest clue. Roadblocks were set up everywhere. they activated the surveillance systems. Entire neighborhoods were placed under silent watch. Even ordinary citizens could feel the tension in the air.. Heavy and oppressive. All the shops in the city were closed earlier than usual, as people hurried back into their homes, locking their doors. They whispered among themselves as no one knew exactly what had happened. But everyone understood one thing: Something big… had shaken the city. Not long after, Christopher’s car screeched to a halt in front of the kindergarten. Before the engine had even fully stopped, the door swung open. He stepped out. Anna followed closely behind, her

Christopher closed his eyes briefly, forcing the storm inside him into submission. Then he spoke again, his voice was calm. “I agree,” “But first… I want to hear my daughter’s voice.” he said slowly, each word measured. Silence fell on the other end of the line. Christopher’s eyes darkened, he tightened his grip on the phone. “If I can’t be sure of my daughter’s safety,” he continued, his tone dropping into something cold enough to freeze the air, “then there is no chance I’ll come alone.” A faint static crackled. Then, after what felt like an eternity, Needle finally spoke. “…Fine.” A brief rustling sound followed. Then— “Daddy, where are you?” Faith’s soft, trembling voice pierced through the speaker. In that instant, the world seemed to stop. Christopher, who had faced countless battles, who had stood unshaken before death itself—felt something inside him break. His vision blurred, and a faint shimmer gathered in his eyes despite his iron will. “Faith…”

Faith continued to stare at Needle with her wide, observant eyes.There was something about this “uncle”… something different.He wasn’t like the bad people she had imagined.He was cold, yes—but not cruel. Not chaotic.It was as if… he was carrying something heavy inside him.Something she couldn’t quite understand.But she didn’t ask again.She simply watched.And waited.Three days passed in the blink of an eye.At the Cloud9 Villa—The atmosphere was suffocating.Heavy. Silent. Oppressive.Christopher stood before the mirror, adjusting his attire with calm precision. Every movement was steady, controlled… but beneath that calm exterior lay a storm capable of tearing the world apart.Behind him—Anna stood quietly.Her eyes were swollen and red, her face pale from days of sleepless nights and endless tears. The moment she looked at him, her composure shattered once more.“Honey…” Her voice trembled, fragile and broken. “You have to bring Faith back… please…”Her hands clenched tigh

“Faith… I missed you so much.” Christopher pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly—far tighter than he ever held anything in this world. For a moment, the man who stood at the peak of power, the one feared across continents, the king who had faced armies without blinking… Was nothing more than a father. His breathing slowed against her shoulder, but deep within— The storm had never stopped. During those three days, he had not shown it. Not once. His face had remained calm. His voice steady. His commands absolute. But only he knew— How many times his thoughts had drifted into darkness. How many times he had imagined the worst… and crushed those thoughts with sheer will. He could face ten thousand enemies without fear. But when it came to his daughter— Even the smallest uncertainty… Was enough to shake him. “Daddy…” Faith’s soft voice pulled him back. She blinked her large, bright eyes, her expression turning slightly pitiful as she lowered her

“Impossible…” Needle muttered in disbelief. Christopher looked like he wasn’t even thirty yet, so how could he have such terrifying strength? No matter how much he tried, Needle just couldn’t accept it. “AHHH!” Needle suddenly roared like he had gone mad. His eyes turned bloodshot, and blood started flowing from his nose and mouth. He didn’t care about the pain anymore. He pushed his body beyond its limit, forcing out every last bit of strength he had just to increase his power for this final strike. Boom! Their attacks finally collided with a loud explosion. The impact shook the ground and sent dust flying everywhere. After the clash, the two of them crossed past each other. Then everything went still. The air froze. The sound disappeared. Even the wind seemed to stop moving. One second passed. Then two. Then three. Christopher and Needle stood there without moving. After a while, a look of horror slowly appeared on Needle’s face. Blood began to trickle down from the corne

Anna looked at him with curiosity and asked, “A trip? Where are we going?” Christopher answered calmly, “To Raveholt City.” “Raveholt City?” Anna’s eyes immediately lit up with excitement. “That sounds nice. It’s been a long time since I travelled that far.” Christopher smiled faintly. “Since you like it, we will leave in seven days.” Anna nodded happily, her mood instantly lifted. “Now that C&A Group has stabilized in Gravemonth City, our next step is Raveholt City. This trip will also help us understand the market there better.” Christopher did not say much, he only smiled, but deep inside, he had other plans. Seven days passed in the blink of an eye. Christopher and Anna boarded a first-class flight and headed straight to Raveholt City. At the same time, the entire city was already becoming lively and tense. Martial artists, assassins, and gang members from different places had all gathered there because of one thing — the martial arts competition hosted by the As
Chapter 140
Christopher looked young. Too young, in fact. His clothes were simple, no brand, nothing special. But the moment you looked at him closely, you would feel something different. There was a quiet authority around him, something that made people unconsciously lower their guard and show respect. It was not loud. But it was heavy. Christopher lifted his gaze and looked at Victor Halberg calmly. “Mr. Halberg,” he said, his tone steady, “what brings you here?” Halberg did not hesitate. “The Verdant Crown Group… needs your help, Mr. Howe.” “Oh?” Christopher’s expression did not change at all. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking. At that moment, Gideon quickly stepped in to explain. “Mr. Howe, the Ashen Fang Alliance is hosting this martial arts competition to gather all the underground forces in Raveholt City. Once they succeed, their first targets will be the six major enterprises.” Christopher’s eyes narrowed slightly. Now he understood. The six majo

Thorne stepped forward and bowed slightly as he answered respectfully, “Boss.” Sebastian looked at him calmly and said, “You will accompany Ronan to Gravemonth City and make sure he remains safe throughout the journey.” Thorne nodded without hesitation and replied, “Yes, Boss.” Sebastian then turned his attention to Ronan, a faint smile appearing on his face as he said, “With Thorne protecting you, you have nothing to worry about. Once you complete this mission, I will appoint you as the Vice Leader of the Iron Serpent.” Hearing this, Ronan was filled with excitement and quickly responded, “Thank you, Boss!” Although he was the young master of the Iron Serpent, his authority within the organization had always been limited. If he became the Vice Leader, his status would rise above everyone else, second only to the leader himself. Meanwhile, Darius stood at the side, completely stunned. As the current leader of the Iron Serpent, he had not even spoken, yet Sebastian had alread
