The two apprentices fixed Griffin with a piercing stare, their eyes gleaming with intensity. Griffin stumbled backward, his fear evident on his face."Coward!" one of them spat before they turned their attention to Gabriel. "Now it's your turn. We hope you can give us a challenge, or this will be too boring."Gabriel smiled calmly and beckoned to them. "Bring it on!"The younger apprentice sneered and stepped forward. "Let me have some fun first!"Griffin, who had just been terrified, felt a surge of excitement again.It was clear that the two apprentices were also after Gabriel.Although his men had been beaten, as long as Gabriel was killed, it would be fine.Thinking of the two apprentices' fierce performance earlier, Griffin couldn't help but anticipate them eliminating his biggest concern, Gabriel.With this in mind, Griffin stared at Gabriel with a vicious smile. "Hey, Gabriel! Aren't you supposed to be tough? Let's see how you handle th

"Of course, if your candidates are truly qualified, they should have no problem going through our standard hiring process," Evelyn replied diplomatically.As CEO, she had to maintain professional standards and avoid the complications of nepotism, though she could possibly arrange some harmless ceremonial positions if absolutely necessary.Someone at the table fixed their gaze on Evelyn. "Well, I heard Gabriel has gotten very close to Ms. Patel. If you won't help us, maybe we should ask him!"Dominic let out a contemptuous snort. "Gabriel? Please. That pretty boy isn't even worthy of tying Evelyn's shoelaces.""Exactly!" Claire chimed in with obvious disapproval. "What could that good-for-nothing possibly do for you? You're delusional if you think he has any real influence with Ms. Patel."The mere mention of Gabriel had soured her mood."But he was invited on stage at today's inauguration ceremony," Hank persisted.Dominic's lip curled. "So what? H

"That's right! I just wanted to take the money and run. It's your fault to be so gullible and believe every lie you hear." Griffin sneered."You... You monster! How dare you scam us out of our money? Give it back!" Claire screamed as she leaped toward Griffin, her fury spilling over.That money was everything she had. She had poured it all in, hoping for the promised dividends.And now, it was gone.The realization hit her like a thunderclap."You son of a bitch! We trusted you, and you cheated us. You're the most disgusting man I've ever seen! Give us our money back!" The Brown family erupted in rage, their voices rising as they surged forward, ready to attack.But soon, a group of armed guards stepped in, forcing them back with the barrels of their guns.Only Claire, driven by rage, managed to slip past. She clawed at Griffin's face, leaving deep, bloody scratches across his skin.Griffin had been chasing after Evelyn for ages. Evelyn had al

Fletcher, feeling braver with his uncle's support, showed no fear. "Yeah, it's me. So what? You're about to die. What can you possibly do to me?"Although Tobin had withdrawn most of the troops, a dozen heavily armed elite soldiers were still lying in ambush nearby.These soldiers, each capable of taking on a hundred men, would easily handle a single brute."Gabriel Martin, right? Was it you who killed my brother, Wallace King?" Tobin stared at Gabriel, his voice cold."It was me," Gabriel replied without hesitation, his eyes fixed firmly on Fletcher.Tobin stepped forward, his tone icy. "Good, you admit it. Now, slap yourself before my brother's photo and apologize. I'll give you a swift death.""Apologize?" Gabriel suddenly let out a cold chuckle. "Even your superior, Jeremy Longman, wouldn't dare speak to me like that. Who do you think you are?""What?" Tobin frowned, surprised.Jeremy was the commander-in-chief of the northern war zone, To

This was nothing short of a bolt from the blue.It was clear now. Gabriel, the man Fletcher had always looked down upon, had a terrifyingly powerful background."No, this can't be true! It's impossible!" At that moment, Fletcher was paralyzed with fear.The sight of the old man in gray kneeling before Gabriel struck him like a thunderclap. His last shred of hope crumbled into dust, leaving behind nothing but despair and terror.The lifeline he had clung to so desperately turned out to be Gabriel's servant.He wondered what kind of "monster" he had provoked.Unlike Fletcher, who was still reeling, Tobin had already accepted his fate.From the moment he learned who Gabriel truly was, he knew there was no escaping death today.If he dared to resist, it wouldn't just cost him his life. It would destroy his entire family."Master Martin, it has been ten years, and I have finally found you!" Quentin Sanchez knelt on the ground, tears streaming
