"You audacious madman! How dare you commit violence here!"

Commander Orion Knox stormed forward with a thunderous shout, his sidearm leveled squarely at Gideon. The veins in his neck stood out like cords, his face flushed crimson with fury.

Gideon remained utterly composed. When Elias Vance gave him a subtle shake of the head, he stayed his hand and settled back into a posture of coiled readiness.

"Get on your knees this instant and surrender! I might just spare your worthless

    The memory of the family cemetery being bombarded flashed through Felix's mind. He vividly recalled Julian being executed by a gunshot in front of Arthur's grave. The incident remained a bleeding wound in the Sterling family's hearts. Although they had suppressed the news, the memory still brought unbearable agony.Seeing the massive Lenco BearCat blocking the company entrance, Felix was overcome by dread. His legs began trembling uncontrollably."Tell me, does the guy fighting Sebastian have the last name Vance?" Felix demanded, grabbing Brennan's collar."Yes," Brennan replied instinctively.Felix let out a terrified yelp and collapsed to the ground, his entire body shaking."Felix, what's wrong with you?" Brennan asked, bewildered.Felix's bodyguards also turned deathly pale, remembering the horror at the cemetery."I have no strength left. Help me up and get me to the car immediately," Felix ordered, ignoring Brennan.Paralyzed by fear, Fe

    Upon arriving outside Sebastian Thorne's company building, Gideon Lancaster aggressively parked the massive Lenco BearCat directly blocking the main entrance. The security guards were furious at the blatant disrespect, but seeing the terrifying armored vehicle, they did not dare utter a single word of complaint."I am here for Sebastian Thorne," Elias Vance announced with a completely expressionless face as he approached the entrance.The closest security guard shuddered involuntarily, opening his mouth to speak. However, before he could reply, Wallace Reeves, the man who had tried to violently force Miles Lawson to sign the contract at the hospital yesterday, stepped out of the lobby."Mr. Thorne is already waiting upstairs!" Wallace announced with a cold sneer, clearly recognizing them."Lead the way," Elias demanded flatly.Wallace snorted contemptuously and turned on his heel. Elias and Gideon followed closely behind as they rode the elevator up to the e

    Wesley Cole asked Warren Montgomery why he was so terrified of that young man. Warren immediately remembered the strict ban imposed by Ignatius Montgomery, which forbade anyone in the family from revealing the man's true identity to outsiders. Bound by this absolute order, Warren shook his head, explaining he could only say the man was someone he absolutely could not afford to provoke under any circumstances.Wesley was highly skeptical, asking if even the immensely powerful Montgomery family was afraid of a single person.Warren honestly replied that he did not know the full extent of the situation, but he strongly advised Wesley not to be overly greedy, as the city of Cresthaven had plenty of lucrative business to go around.Wesley suppressed his immediate anger due to Warren's sincere tone, but he grumbled that letting Lysander Lawson steal his business would make him look incredibly weak. He declared that since Warren had personally intervened today, he would let

    Upon hearing the harsh voice, Lysander Lawson's expression changed drastically. "This is bad. They must have tracked me down here," he whispered urgently. "Whatever happens next, please do not get involved. I will handle this burden myself."Elias Vance took a slow sip of his premium liquor, his eyes narrowing slightly, but he said nothing. Albert Monroe glanced at the young man, and seeing Elias remain completely unfazed, the elder merely nodded in agreement.The door was suddenly kicked open, revealing a group of vicious thugs blocking the exit. The leader was a heavily built man with aggressive, scarred flesh and a thick neck covered in tattoos."Well, if it is not Lysander. You slipped away this afternoon, but you cannot run this time," Owen Rowe sneered. He pulled out a chair, slammed himself down, and crossed his arms with a malicious grin.Lysander's expression turned incredibly solemn. "Owen, this personal grudge is between you and me. Let us take this ou

    Seeing the explosive device extracted from his own hospital elevator drained all the color from Mayhew's face. If Elias had actually suffered a fatal incident on his premises, his own fate would have been unimaginably grim. A lingering wave of profound dread washed over the hospital director as he stared at the lethal trap, silently thanking whatever higher power allowed the young man to detect and defuse it in time.Marcus approached with the dismantled device resting heavily in his palms. He reported that it was a remote-controlled explosive, though the detonator had already been safely neutralized by his engineers.Elias reached out, taking the device from Marcus. He examined it with a completely expressionless face, his cold eyes scanning the intricate wiring. "The exterior craftsmanship is rough, but the internal mechanics are highly precise. This was undoubtedly designed by a professional." He could easily deduce the bomb maker's background from the structural style,

    Skyler Stanton and Alistair Prescott were on the verge of vomiting blood as they forced the printed manuscripts down their throats. They gagged and choked, looking as though they might suffocate on the dry paper at any given moment. Elias Vance sat completely emotionless, his cold eyes watching the grotesque scene unfold. He intended to sit in that chair until they consumed every last page. Whatever word count they had ordered their staff to blindly produce was exactly what they were going to eat.Taylor Sullivan stepped forward and politely asked for a private word. Elias offered a faint nod of agreement and walked to a quiet corner with the older man."Marshal Vance, my primary reason for coming to Cresthaven was specifically to find you," Taylor explained in a hushed tone."Oh?" Elias glanced at him with mild curiosity, wondering what could prompt a personal visit from the capital."Recently, the Crimson Cartel has been making restless moves," Taylor elaborate
