Chapter 81 - Opportunity
The MacCoinnich family of the North.Liam MacCoinnich was losing his patience. He had no desire to waste further words on his younger brother, so he abruptly hung up the phone.On the other end, Ryan MacCoinnich could do nothing but let out a long, weary sigh."Where is the young master?" Liam roared at the domestic staff.Aunt Sophia, who was carrying a teacup at that moment, felt her hands tremble at the sudden shout. A splash of hot tea spilled out, staining Liam’s clothes."I... I... the young master went out last night and hasn't returned yet, sir." Aunt Sophia lowered her head, her voice quivering, not daring to meet Liam’s eyes.Infuriated, he swiped the hot teacup off the tray. The ceramic shattered, sending scalding water and sharp shards flying against Aunt Sophia’s legs, but she didn't dare flinch.She had been a servant here for a long time. She had a young grandchild who relied entirely on her wages from
Chapter 82 - Searching Out
Duncan wanted to return to the Plaza villa. He knew he still had to face Kate; for many years, he had left her to fend for herself, and even now, upon his return, he was still preoccupied with outside affairs.He truly felt a deep sense of guilt toward her.Stopping in front of the villa, Duncan hesitated for a moment, letting out a soft sigh. Even though he had fought fiercely on the battlefield and remained cold toward his enemies, nothing made him as uneasy as he felt right now.But before he could even enter the gate, he saw the black car from the other day parked near the villa complex.Duncan frowned slightly and hurried inside."And you are..." Gianni looked at the politely dressed young man with a touch of wariness."I am Wind, an assistant from the MacCoinnich family of the North. I am here to find Duncan," Wind took the initiative to clarify his identity."The MacCoinnich family? From the North?" Gianni was a bit confused, b
Chapter 83 - Conflict
Duncan felt an immense surge of irritation at Wind's words. Because they shared the surname MacCoinnich? Where was the MacCoinnich family when he was wandering alone, being trampled upon and looked down upon by everyone? Did they remember they had a relative with that name then?"If that is the case, I can change my name," he replied calmly, pouring himself a glass of water and taking a sip. "After all, I am a man without parents; changing a surname is hardly a difficult task."Duncan’s attitude took Wind completely by surprise. One must understand that even working as a servant for the MacCoinnich family came with significant benefits, let alone being a relative.Great families valued prestige above all else, so every person in their clan, even the hired help, was granted certain privileges. Take Aunt Sophia, for example: setting aside her enviable salary, even her grandson, who suffered from a severe illness, was receiving treatment at a mid-tier hospita
Chapter 84 - Shattered
Contrary to Duncan’s expectations, Kate had endured five years of being the target of public gossip and ridicule.She had been discarded by the Worthington family like a piece of unwanted property. Furthermore, in her heart, Kate firmly believed that Duncan’s current advantages were solely due to the luck of having helped someone connected to the General.His apparent lack of ambition only deepened her despair. On multiple occasions, his tendency to overextend himself and act out had caused her immense embarrassment.Even if Kate wanted to believe in him, she simply couldn't anymore."Duncan, oh Duncan. Five years ago, you were so talented. Even after being framed, you could have started over. You were luckier than Edward; you weren't imprisoned. Yet, after all these years, you return and rely entirely on the coincidence of helping the General's people. You’ve become dependent on it."All the resentment she had suppressed for so l
Chapter 85 - Danger
Duncan looked into Kate’s eyes, his heart sinking with profound disappointment. He had truly caused her too much suffering, and at this moment, a hundred explanations would not suffice."Kate, although Duncan might not be extraordinary, divorce is not something that should be decided in such a rush," Gianni said, feeling a twinge of guilt toward Duncan.After all, he had been very good to Kate. Gianni felt that although his son-in-law wasn't quite up to par with others, he did have his merits. Moreover, the fact that the MacCoinnich family had come looking for him suggested he was held in high regard."Give me one month. If after one month you still want a divorce, I will respect your decision," Duncan said somberly.He let out a heavy sigh. Hearing this, Kate’s heart softened slightly, but she still turned and retreated to her room."Duncan, perhaps she’s just had too much on her plate lately. It could be the stress," Gianni said
Chapter 86 - Face-to-Face Confrontation
Edward was startled, his hands and feet trembling as he looked back and forth between Harry and the scene outside. His expression was utterly bizarre."It’s not possible... no one could do this... no..."He mumbled incoherently, his words a tangled mess of confusion. Harry sensed something was very wrong, but for the moment, he had to focus entirely on maintaining the defense.This group was far stronger than the previous ones. Not only was their knowledge of formations superior, but their actual combat prowess was also significantly higher.His underlings were truly at their breaking point."What are you standing there for? Hurry up and get your parents out of here." Harry practically roared.He was fuming. What was wrong with this guy? No matter what Harry said, Edward didn't seem to hear; he was acting as if he were possessed. Harry seriously wanted to slap him a few times to wake him up.In truth, Harry’s own heart was
Chapter 87 - Too Late
Edward had not managed to get very far before Ken and Ben gathered their strength, launching a combined assault on Harry.Harry was reaching his breaking point. He knew that if he continued to absorb the shockwaves, his internal organs would likely shatter along with his defenses.Crack...Harry dropped to his knees, his vision blurring. He could no longer hold the line."Quick... go," Harry screamed.Ben marveled at Harry’s resilience; in a true one-on-one fight, they might have been evenly matched. But with Ken’s assistance, Harry could only hold out for a few more minutes.Ken wasn't an expert in formations, but he was a master of sword arrays. Together, Ken and Ben were a pair of formidable killers in the underworld. This time, the MacCoinnich family and other clans had joined forces to hire the two brothers to act.It seemed every great family was fixated on Edward.Harry realized the situation was far
Chapter 88 - Edward's Secret
Edward rushed out in a panic, desperate to stop Duncan and his men.Seeing this, Duncan signaled his subordinates to hold their fire but maintain a state of high alert."Give me a reason."At this moment, Duncan’s trust in Edward was severely shaken. He still didn't know what Edward had endured, nor did he understand why the great families were hunting him down so relentlessly, or why one particular clan sought such brutal revenge.It had to be something monumental. It suggested that the betrayal years ago wasn't just born of petty jealousy, but had a much deeper root. Yet, his sworn brother—the man standing before him—was still concealing the truth. Duncan felt his faith in their bond beginning to crumble."I... I..." Edward stammered, unable to find the words."Take them to the base. Put them under maximum security until I deal with them."Duncan made a swift decision. He didn't kill them, not for Edward’s sa
Chapter 89 - Revealing the Past
Edward felt a pang of guilt mixed with a trace of bitterness. Years ago, he had indeed hidden many things from Duncan.In truth, Duncan was exceptionally talented; he was diligent and hardworking in business, operations, and management. Edward had always favored and looked out for Duncan; since their school days, they had been an inseparable duo.At that time, Edward's parents held government positions. Though their rank wasn't extremely high, they were widely respected. Because of this, Edward achieved many successes and gained more recognition than Duncan."That matter... It’s not what you think," he stammered slightly."Exactly, because I didn't think anything of it.""But I know everything. Did you think that by saying nothing and offering no explanation, everything would just go away?"Duncan spoke coldly, his gaze no longer wanting to even meet Edward’s eyes."You’ve truly changed. Years ago, no matter what I d
Chapter 90 - Declaring War
Since his release from prison, Edward was aware that Duncan had worked hard to build his own influence. However, Edward understood the immense power of the great families far too well; consequently, he merely viewed Duncan as someone with a bit of talent and nothing more.Years of torment at the hands of those people had eroded Edward's will. He was no longer the passionate, ambitious young man he once was. Now, Edward was a man who feared everything—a living embodiment of the proverb: once bitten by a snake, twice shy of a rope."This is..." He wanted to ask, but felt a lump in his throat. No matter how hard he tried, the words wouldn't come out."Do you even care anymore?" Duncan had no desire to speak further.The way Dermot had addressed Edward, coupled with Edward’s extreme terror, made it clear that the brute was the root of all this misery. Duncan wanted to do something for Edward. Even if Edward had his own selfish motives, he had once
