Edan… was dead just like that.Olivia sat collapsed on the floor, her entire body trembling. The sickening sound of Edan’s neck being crushed still echoed in her ears.The moment she realized something was wrong, she had still believed Edan could rely on the power of the Nelson family to protect him.No matter how strong Hudson was, she thought he wouldn’t dare go too far.But reality hit her hard. Hudson clearly didn’t care about the Nelson family at all.Now that Edan was dead, she knew she would be next.At that moment, Olivia finally realized how foolish she had been from the beginning.Hudson was someone she never should have provoked.After Edan’s death, everyone’s attention shifted to Olivia, whose face was now pale with terror.“M-Miss Ivory…” she stammered as she crawled toward Ivory on her knees. “I know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. Please… please don’t hold this against me.”She didn’t want to die.Her life had only just begun, and right now, she was willing to a

“Move aside!”The guards shouted as they stepped forward.Ivory didn’t move.Shienna immediately stepped beside her, standing shoulder to shoulder as they shielded Hyan behind them.Edan slowly applauded as he stood up from the couch.“What touching sisterhood,” he mocked with a grin. “I’m honestly moved.”“In that case, I won’t wait anymore.”“Let’s get started.”As soon as he spoke, he gave a look to the men he brought with him. The guards immediately understood and quickly left the office, shutting the door behind them.Hyan instantly realized what Edan intended to do.Her face turned pale. She suddenly stepped around Ivory and stood in front of the other two women, her eyes already red.“I’ll do it,” she said through clenched teeth.She had always understood Ivory’s plan.The only reason they had been stalling was to buy time until Hudson arrived.But now, because Ivory and Shienna were protecting her, Edan had shifted his attention toward them instead.Hyan couldn’t accept that.

Olivia kept staring at Ivory and the other two women from Edan’s arms, and the more she watched them, the more something felt wrong.The three women were far too calm.They had clearly seen Edan bring so many people with him, including two grandmasters, yet none of them showed any real fear.Especially Shienna.Not only was she calm, but she even looked bored, as if she didn’t take Edan seriously at all.That uneasy feeling in Olivia’s chest grew stronger.Still, when she thought about the terrifying strength of the Nelson family in San Angeles, she quickly calmed herself down.No matter how capable Hudson was, there was no way he could stand against the Nelson family.Compared to the Nelson family, the Carter family was nothing more than a small local business family.Edan casually played with Olivia’s hair while staring openly at Ivory and the others.The more he looked at them, the more tempted he became.Ivory had a mature and elegant beauty.Hyan was lively and charming.As for S

A day passed in the blink of an eye.Since the three women were all busy outside and none of them were at Omega Villa, Hudson headed to Black Dragon Villa to check on the training progress of the newly recruited members.He had barely arrived when Vicente called him. Vicente had just gone to Omega Villa himself and learned that Hudson wasn’t there.“What’s going on?” Hudson asked directly.“Master Hudson, the Nelson family seems to be planning to make a move against you,” Vicente replied seriously.“The Nelson family?”Hudson frowned slightly. He didn’t remember ever dealing with anyone from the Nelson family before.Thinking it might be inconvenient to discuss over the phone now that Vicente was already in Beverly, Hudson told him to come directly to Black Dragon Villa.At that moment, Nathan also happened to arrive. Hudson turned to him and asked, “There aren’t many families with the surname Nelson in California’s martial arts world, right?”It wasn’t that Hudson was worried about t

What happened with the Carter family was nothing more than a minor interruption to Hudson and the others. None of them took it seriously.Ivory also planned to return to Romones Group to resume work.As for Shienna and Hyan, both women had always wanted to build careers of their own. They simply never had the right opportunity before. Now that they were in Beverly, they decided to follow Ivory and learn from her while gaining experience in business.Arlo was still in seclusion, and with no one around to talk to at the Lewis family estate, Hudson returned to Omega Villa.Not long after, Nathan arrived to report everything that had been arranged.After listening quietly, Hudson nodded and said, “Gather all the young people under thirty.”Beverly was already under control. The next goal was to take over the remaining seven cities in Clayton County aside from Calexico.But Hudson knew that relying on the current fifty trained fighters wasn’t enough. Unless every one of them reached Grandm

Olivia lifted her chin and began laying out her conditions, her tone full of arrogance.“First, hand over Hyan. She’s coming back with me to the Carter family, and I’ll deal with her myself.Second, you and my brother get back together. And this time, you’d better treat him right and do as he says.Third, cripple Hudson. Break his arms and legs.”Ivory didn’t react much to the first two conditions. But when she heard the third, she frowned slightly.“What does this have to do with Hudson?” she asked.Olivia shot Hudson a glare, her eyes burning with resentment.“Did you forget? He was the one who told that bitch to hit me at the airport.”“I see.” Ivory nodded, then asked calmly, “And what if I don’t agree?”“Don’t agree?” Olivia’s expression twisted, her voice turning vicious. “Ivory, I’m giving you a chance here. Don’t be ungrateful.”She stepped closer, her tone sharp and threatening.“Let me be clear, whether you agree or not, nothing changes. I’m taking her,” she pointed at Hyan,
