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,

Vicente grew more anxious with every passing second that Hudson didn’t respond. It felt like an invisible hand was tightening around his throat, making it harder to breathe.Meanwhile, in Beverly, Nathan and his men remained calm. But Axel, Vino, and the rest of Roemen were visibly shaken.To Axel, the Sandoval family had always been his strongest backing. Vicente himself was someone he had only dreamed of meeting, a powerful figure whose mere presence could shake all of Clayton. Yet now, that same man was speaking cautiously, even pleading with a young man for forgiveness.Only then did Axel realize the truth. The fall of the Black Dragon Gang hadn’t really been orchestrated by Nathan. The real force behind everything… was Hudson.He was the one who would rule Beverly.“Master Hudson?” Vicente’s voice came again through the phone, unable to bear the silence any longer.Nathan glanced at Hudson, confused about what he intended to do. Publicly humiliating the Sandoval family didn’t see

That day would go down as one no one would ever forget. It was the day everything began to change.The balance of power that had kept the city in a fragile, chaotic state was finally being rewritten.The fall of the Iron Fist Gang had already been inevitable.By the time Samuel led his team to their final target, the Roemen organization, hundreds of people had already gathered at the scene.Most of Roemen’s members were martial artists, but the majority were only at the basic level. A few dozen had reached a more advanced stage, and only around ten were truly skilled. Not a single grandmaster-level fighter was present.In the end, it all came down to strength.The moment Axel saw the fifty-plus fighters behind Samuel, his heart sank. He couldn’t believe that Nathan had managed to quietly train such a force without anyone noticing.Samuel stepped forward and spoke calmly. “Axel, what’s it going to be? Fight, or surrender?”Axel didn’t answer directly. Instead, he let out a short laugh.

At the airport, the three newcomers caught everyone’s attention.Olivia immediately realized they were the people Ivory had come to pick up. Her gaze swept over them, pausing briefly on Shienna. Even she had to admit, Shienna was striking, with a calm, refined presence that stood out.But Olivia quickly refocused. She stared at Hudson, her tone sharp and impatient.“Who are you?” she demanded. “What does anything between me and Ivory have to do with you?”She crossed her arms, clearly annoyed. “Mind your own business. Otherwise, you’re asking for trouble.”Hudson had already heard enough of her attitude before even walking over. He’d seen arrogant men before, but arrogant women like Olivia were rarer.He let out a faint, dismissive smile. Then he raised a hand slightly.Ivory understood immediately. She stepped forward and leaned gently against him.Hudson glanced at Olivia. “Now who do you think I am?” he said calmly. “Still think I’m meddling?”The meaning couldn’t have been clearer
