Vance was a real wolf in sheep's clothing.Emily, instead of offering a formal greeting, gave a slight bow and said, "Mr. Mitchell, what an honor to have you here."At their level, even the most bitter rivals maintained a veneer of politeness—at least until all pretense was shattered."These gentlemen seem unfamiliar. What line of work are they in?" Emily's gaze shifted toward Murphy and the two men accompanying him.Without missing a beat, Vance gestured toward them. "This is an old friend of mine, Mr. Ford. He helps me with some personal matters. These two young men are his apprentices."Emily's lips curved into a faint smile. "Mr. Ford, it's a pleasure to meet you."Vance gave Murphy a playful wink. "Murphy, Ms. Patel and I have some business to discuss. Why don't you and the boys step out for a bit?""Of course," Murphy replied smoothly.He glanced at Gabriel and motioned for his two apprentices to follow him as he left the room.

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

Vance nodded silently and signaled the driver to leave.They soon arrived at Peach Blossom Manor, but they had barely settled into their seats when a bodyguard burst through the door, his face pale with panic. "Mr. Mitchell! Something terrible has happened!"Vance and Murphy's expressions changed instantly, though Murphy quickly regained his composure. "What's all this commotion about?" he snapped."It's Fang, sir. He's severely injured... barely alive...""What?" Murphy's eyes widened in disbelief."Don't talk nonsense! Fang has mastered internal force techniques. Who could possibly hurt him?" He grabbed the bodyguard's collar, his knuckles pale with tension."Please, it's true!" The bodyguard stammered, trembling. "He's lying at the entrance. You need to hurry... before it's too late!"Murphy shoved the bodyguard aside and rushed out without another word.At the manor's entrance, Murphy found Fang barely breathing, his body broken and batter

"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

Griffin trembled, more aware than the others of the northern war zone commanders' fearsome reputation.These weren't just officials. They were battle-hardened veterans with absolute military authority.Even Calonia's four giants and the mayor showed these commanders respect.In this world, money and reputation meant little compared to raw power.While the wealthy might lack authority, those with power never wanted money.Tobin exemplified this perfectly—a man who commanded both influence and military might.With a single word, he could fabricate charges and order immediate executions.Treason, espionage—the possibilities were endless."I'll be direct," Tobin's voice cut through the tension. "One question. Answer truthfully to save your lives or face charges of treason.""We-we'll cooperate with the investigation, General!" Claire stammered, her knees weakening under his intimidating presence."Good." Tobin's cold gaze swe

"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

With a wave of Tobin's hand, two guards stepped forward without hesitation, binding Evelyn tightly and suspending her in mid-air.Evelyn thrashed against the restraints. "Let me go! You're abusing your power!"But the harder she struggled, the deeper the pain bit into her wrists. The sharp sting brought tears streaming down her face.Tobin let out a cold laugh, his expression hardening. "Abusing my power? You really don't understand your situation, do you? Your life is in my hands now. I decide whether you live or die, and you still dare to speak to me like that?".His tone turned sharp. "I'll ask you one last time. Where is Gabriel?""I don't know!" Evelyn shot back, her voice defiant as she shook her head."Still so stubborn, are you? Fine. Let's see how long you can hold out." Tobin frowned as he barked an order. "Beat her. Don't stop until she talks."A hulking subordinate entered the room, dragging behind him a long whip studded with sharp spi

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

A tough, resolute man trembling in fear was such a sight was almost unbearable to watch.The man standing before Tobin seemed to drain the very air from his lungs."Adjutant, we're... we're finished..."Thud!Tobin collapsed to the ground again, his face pale and his heart heavy with despair.He wasn't wondering if he would make it out alive. He already knew he wouldn't. The only question was whether his body would remain intact when it was all over."General! I've called for reinforcements. They'll be here soon. Please, just hold on!" the adjutant urged, his voice trembling with forced optimism."It's useless. No one can save us now," Tobin muttered, shaking his head blankly. His entire body seemed to sag as if all the strength had drained from him in an instant."General! What's going on?" the adjutant cried, sweat dripping down his face.Tobin raised a trembling hand and pointed at Gabriel. His voice shook as he said, "He... He's Lucas
Chapter 50
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
