2026-11-06 18:00:12When Corbin Thorne burst into the office, his son, Sebastian Thorne, began to weep even harder. The second Corbin saw Sebastian's blood-drenched left hand, his eyes widened with unadulterated fury.
"You actually dared to lay a hand on my son!" Corbin glared at Elias Vance, looking as if he wanted to devour the man alive."I was just helping you discipline him," Elias replied smoothly from his chair.Corbin barked at his secretary to get his son to the hospital immediately. The

"So, you finally returned." Mrs. Croft showed no joy upon seeing Elena, her wrinkled face carrying a distinct trace of disdain.A young man stepped forward, frowning at the wheelchair as he asked, "Is this Elena?""Yes, Cassian, this is your cousin," Daphne replied with a forced smile."Aunt Daphne, why is she a cripple?" Cassian Croft asked, making no effort to hide his displeasure. "Is this really how you plan to brush off Mr. Sullivan?"Cassian was the son of Everett Croft, making him Elena's younger cousin.Daphne scrambled to explain. "She just accidentally injured her legs. She will recover soon, so please assure Mr. Sullivan that he has nothing to worry about."Cassian scrutinized Elena before giving a stiff nod. "Fine. Her appearance is decent enough, so Mr. Sullivan will certainly be pleased."Elena frowned in complete confusion, having no idea who this Mr. Sullivan was.Around them, the wealthy guests had already begun presenting the

Early the next morning, Elias Vance practiced calligraphy, writing four characters on rice paper: "Gaze Toward the East," signed only "Vance." He rarely gifted his calligraphy, let alone with his name, but he felt these words perfectly suited the elderly woman he was about to visit. The phrase came from Emperor Adrian, symbolizing his unyielding ambition.After ordering Gideon to have it mounted as a traditional scroll, Gideon asked, "Marshal Vance, shouldn't we escort you?""No need," Elias replied. Bringing his formidable subordinates would be inappropriate for a family gathering."Are you sure about going alone?" Harper Sullivan asked.Elias smiled faintly. "Are you worried about me?""We would never dare!" they replied in unison, realizing how absurd the concern was. No ordinary threat could possibly endanger Elias."Elena Croft is simply returning home to reclaim her place in the family and celebrate her grandmother's birthday," Elias explained. "I

After dinner, Elias Vance received a call from Albert Monroe informing him that Miles Lawson had regained consciousness. Elias immediately went to Cresthaven General Hospital.In Miles's room, Elias warmly greeted both men and asked about Miles's recovery. Then he said calmly, "Although you're both getting older, I believe you still have the drive to accomplish something meaningful."The two men exchanged confused looks.Elias pulled a thick stack of documents from his coat and placed the transfer contract for Thorne Properties on the bedside table.They stared in stunned disbelief. Miles had nearly lost his life over his debts, yet now the multi-million-dollar company was suddenly being transferred entirely into his name. Neither man could comprehend how Elias had accomplished such a feat.Elias offered a faint, reassuring smile and slowly stood up from his chair. "I am going to take a trip down to Cresthaven Maximum-Security Prison right now. I need to get

After resolving the chaotic situation at the quarry, Elias Vance made his way back home, intending to spend a quiet afternoon with Elena Croft. However, the moment he stepped through the front gate of the courtyard, he was met with a scene of intense frustration.Leo Croft was storming out of the yard, his face twisted in absolute fury. He was limping heavily, his movements jerky and aggressive as he pushed past the threshold.Maya Brooks was hurrying anxiously right behind him, her voice filled with concern as she pleaded with him to slow down and be careful not to fall."When our parents died in that horrible car accident, not a single person from the Croft family bothered to show up!" Leo shouted, his voice thick with a mixture of bitter resentment and profound grief. "Now that the land where Everheart Orphanage sits has skyrocketed in value, they suddenly show up at our doorstep? They have the nerve to talk about us reclaiming our place in the family and returning

Deafening explosions echoed through the air as the massive military tanks showed absolutely zero hesitation. They slammed violently into the heavy transport trucks, flipping them over with brutal kinetic force.The heavy steel treads rolled directly over the metal chassis, crushing the expensive vehicles into twisted, unrecognizable heaps of scrap metal. The trailing tanks advanced in a flawless carpet-bombing formation, ramming any remaining debris completely off the main road to clear the path.Brent West watched the entire spectacle unfold, his mouth hanging wide open in utter disbelief. He never imagined that Elias Vance's retaliation against Wesley Cole would be this overwhelmingly violent and spectacular. However, witnessing the absolute destruction was undeniably satisfying for everyone who had been oppressed by the mobster.Elias maintained his usual calm demeanor as he watched Nolan Calder's armored battalion easily clear out the dozens of heavy trucks blocki

Wesley had parked a full sixty transport trucks on the main road outside the sand quarry. The sheer mass of the blockade meant even a fleet of industrial tow trucks would have found it impossible to clear the passage. He wanted to display his absolute power to every construction developer in Cresthaven, ensuring they understood his dominance and would obediently purchase all their materials exclusively from him."Are you friends of Mr. Lawson?" Brent asked in a hushed, careful tone as he looked up at the towering, intimidating figure of Gideon."We are," Gideon nodded slowly, his expression serious."You really should not get involved in this mess," Brent warned with genuine concern in his eyes. "Wesley is backed by the Iron Blades Syndicate, and he brought over a hundred armed men with him today. If a real fight breaks out, you will be heavily outnumbered and suffer for it. Besides, there is absolutely no way we can move those dozens of massive trucks blocking the fr
