Gabriel handed over the exquisitely decorated box."What?"Cyril opened it, and his brow immediately furrowed. "You brat! How many times do I have to tell you? Stop looking for medicine for me! I'm going to die sooner or later anyway. What difference does it make?""Mr. Morgan, whether you want to die is your business. Finding medicine is mine. The two don't interfere with each other," Gabriel replied with a sly shrug."Hey! Why won't you listen?" Cyril snapped, his agitation growing."Do you even realize the key ingredients for the life-extending elixir are all controlled by the Browns? If you keep searching like this, they'll find out sooner or later!"Gabriel blinked, a mysterious glint in his eyes."So what? I'm not the same person I was ten years ago.""Kid, I know you've got skills now, and you've even surpassed me, but the Brown family is an immovable mountain—no one can go up against them. I don't want you getting involved!" Cyri

Wallace sneered, his eyes burning with intensity."I'll get the best doctors to treat your son. I'll also compensate you. Name your price."Evelyn's expression remained serious."I don't need money."Wallace turned, grabbed a bottle of red wine from a cabinet behind him, and placed it on the table."If you're serious about talking to me, chug this.""But..."Evelyn's expression grew grave. She was in a difficult position.She didn't handle alcohol well, and downing an entire bottle of wine would likely leave her unable to think clearly.If she got drunk, she risked being taken advantage of."Do you mean you won't drink it? Then there's nothing to talk about."Wallace waved his hand dismissively, his tone sharp with anger."Fine, I'll drink it!"Evelyn hesitated for a moment before picking up the bottle.Compared to Gabriel's life, one bottle of wine was nothing to her compared to Gabriel's life.Taking a deep

As Wallace spoke, he reached under the table and pressed a hidden button.Ring! Ring! Ring!...A shrill alarm blared through the building.In an instant, the entire company erupted like a disturbed hornet's nest. A flood of thugs poured out from every corridor, quickly converging on the president's office.In no time, the office was completely surrounded, packed tight with bodies.A sea of dark figures stretched as far as the eye could see—at least a hundred men, and the number kept growing."Brat, I heard you're pretty good with your fists," Wallace sneered, grinning smugly."So what if you can take on a dozen? I've got over two hundred guys here. Let's see how you handle that!""No matter how skilled you are, you can't fight them all.""Looks like you came prepared," Gabriel said, his sharp gaze sweeping over the crowd.His expression remained calm, unshaken. "But if I want to kill you, no one here can stop me.""You coc

She and Wilbur weren't close. She couldn't understand why he had saved her or how he even knew about the situation."I know! It must have been Mr. Davis!" Juliana suddenly exclaimed, her eyes lighting up with realization. "After I called the police, I also called Mr. Davis. He must have asked Mr. Robinson to save you!""Griffin?"Evelyn raised an eyebrow, her expression uncertain."Exactly! Who else besides Mr. Davis would help us and have the power to call on Mr. Robinson?" Juliana declared confidently, convinced she had figured it out."Hmm, that does make sense," Evelyn nodded in agreement, though she still seemed a little doubtful.As they were talking, a sleek black Mercedes slowly pulled up and stopped beside them.The door opened, and Griffin stepped out, dressed sharply in a tailored suit."Evelyn, are you alright? I came as soon as I got the call!" Griffin said, putting on a concerned expression as he approached."Mr. Davis, than

Covered in blood, Gabriel strode into the room, stepping over the bodies of the fallen thugs.He looked like the embodiment of death itself, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake.The sight was nothing short of chilling.Inside the president's office, Wallace and the others were paralyzed with fear. They stared at him, dumbfounded, their hair standing on end as if they were looking at a monster.None of them had imagined Gabriel could be so terrifying.He had fought his way up from the first floor to the eighth, single-handedly taking down over two hundred elite bodyguards.'Is such a feat even humanly possible?'"Who... who the hell are you?" Wallace stammered, his voice trembling as he instinctively backed away.When he first saw Gabriel return, he had been smug, thinking the man had walked straight into a trap.But now, he realized just how wrong he had been—how badly he had miscalculated.This wasn't someone walking in

"I heard you still owe the bank money. You're practically bankrupt, and now you're coming to us for a loan? Are you trying to pull a fast one?""Enough! I don't have time for your nonsense. Get lost!" he snapped, slamming the phone down and cutting the call."What was that about?" Gabriel asked casually, glancing at him."Nothing much. Some guy named Ellis called, asking for a loan from our company. Fifty million, no less," Cedric replied."Ellis?" Gabriel's eyebrows arched slightly. "Does he have a son named Griffin?""I think so. How did you know?" Cedric asked, looking at Gabriel with curiosity."It's nothing. Go on.""If it were before, I might have lent it to him. After all, Apex Group is in the lending business. But I recently heard that Davis Pharmaceuticals is under investigation for selling counterfeit drugs. They're about to be shut down and it just hasn't been made public yet.""A company on the verge of bankruptcy? There's no way w

At the same time, Jessica covered her face with her hands as if trying to hide her embarrassment. Yet, her curious eyes peeked through the gaps between her fingers, clearly watching the kiss unfold between the two."Sorry, I didn't mean to." Gabriel came to his senses immediately, quickly pushing Emily away, his face flushed with awkwardness. The unexpected incident had happened so suddenly that he hadn't even had time to think."It's nothing, really. It's my fault. Maybe the drug was too strong, and I just couldn't control myself," Emily said, her tone both charming and composed.As she spoke, she cast a sidelong glance at Jessica.'I finally got a chance to get close to him, but you're so clueless! If you'd just stepped out like you were supposed to, I could've had him and ended my single life. But no, you just had to make a scene and ruin everything!' Emily thought."Jessica, help Emily lie down on the bed," Gabriel instructed seriously."Of course I

"I just examined your body and found traces of ambergris," Gabriel analyzed. "If I'm right, someone used it as the main ingredient, mixing it with various aphrodisiac herbs to create a potent drug."Jessica crossed her arms, her sharp gaze fixed on him. "So what if you know? The real question is, how do we track down the person who drugged Emily?"Gabriel didn't miss a beat. "Ambergris is rare, and not many people buy it. We can investigate recent purchases and narrow down the suspects. I'm confident we'll find a lead.""Good idea!" Emily's eyes lit up as she immediately began giving orders. "I'll have someone look into it right away."With the Patel family's influence, handling such matters was hardly a challenge.Gabriel stood up, preparing to leave. "Ms. Patel, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."Emily, feeling both grateful and reluctant, quickly extended an invitation. "Gabriel, it's Christmas today. Why don't you stay and join us for din

"Look at its plain packaging. Is it worth a hundred bucks?""Health supplements? Tea essence? Could it be fake? What if it's dangerous?""Today's Christmas, and this broke guy brought health supplements that cost just a few dozen bucks. But I'm sure Alexander will defend him."Dominic and the Brown family burst into loud laughter, their faces full of disdain.Evelyn couldn't take it anymore. Her face darkened with embarrassment. She had prepared herself for the worst, but she hadn't expected Gabriel to bring something so cheap, humiliating her yet again.Gabriel stood there calmly, unmoved by their ridicule.Seeing him remain silent, the Brown family members assumed he was too ashamed to defend himself. Their mockery grew even louder."Hey, broke guy, take a look at what I brought for Alexander!" Dominic announced with a smug grin.He pulled out a carefully wrapped gift from a luxurious box and placed it on the round table, making sure everyon

Dominic stepped forward, lifted the lid of the jar, and turned to Claire. "Claire, please go get a bowl of water."Dominic knew Alexander favored Evelyn and trusted Gabriel too easily. It was clear to him that Alexander might be helping Gabriel on purpose, calling the real antique a fake.But Claire had always been on his side, and he planned to use her influence to put Gabriel in his place.Claire quickly returned with a large bowl of water. Dominic took it from her, poured the water into the blue-and-white porcelain jar, and leaned in to inspect it himself."It's really there, Claire," he said, gesturing for her to look. "See for yourself."Claire bent over to peer inside, and her face lit up instantly.She straightened, fixing Gabriel with a sharp glare."Gabriel," she snapped, "you're ignorant and know nothing about antiques. Instead of admitting it, you try to tarnish Dominic's reputation out of jealousy. Apologize to him and clear his name!"<
