Author: Only For You
More guests were arriving at the great hall. Andrew and Zachary did not draw attention to themselves and simply found a quiet corner to stand in.

Those who came later were seated according to rank and status, with the powerful and renowned taking seats in the front rows on both sides of the hall. The small fry naturally stood in the back.

People in the martial world loved this kind of unspoken hierarchy. It was how they showed rank and status.

Zachary pointed toward a stocky man with a round belly who looked like he was in his third trimester. "Captain, that's Riker Lamar, the leader of the Hidden Dragons."

Andrew looked over and saw Riker sitting squarely in his seat. He was short and broad, with an oddly oversized head that made him look almost cartoonish.

Though he looked comical, his slightly closed eyes occasionally flashed with sharp light. Anyone could tell he was a ruthless expert who had mastered internal martial arts.

Zachary pointed toward another guest and grin

    The remaining operatives quickly regrouped and rushed up to the second floor to help their comrades. This distraction gave Aspen on the third floor the perfect opportunity to make her move. Her fighting style was pure assassin. She specialized in stealth, striking fast and precisely with the goal of killing in one blow. Her dagger flashed through the darkness and instantly claimed a life. The dozen or so Shadow Division members who were heading down to the second floor were all shocked by the sudden attack. Some rushed to help their fallen comrade while others roared in anger and launched a furious assault on Aspen. However, Aspen was incredibly fast and knew every inch of Serenity Villa like the back of her hand. Within moments, she had slipped away from her pursuers and vanished into the shadows. In just a few moves, she shook off her pursuers and struck again, taking down several more. Unlike Francesca and Lauren, Aspen was no newcomer with a soft heart. Killing didn't bothe

  • Chapter 1987

    Night had fallen, and the darkness was thick as ink. A large group of black-clad figures silently infiltrated The Sovereign Residences, moving without making a sound. Their gleaming white blades flashed ominously in the darkness as they advanced. At the main gate of The Sovereign Residences, two martial arts guards stood in the security booth. Their faces were pale, but they managed to stay relatively calm. The black-clad assassins had completely ignored them and headed straight for the peak of The Sovereign Residences complex, so they had not been targeted for elimination. The younger guard, Martin Burton, was trembling as he whispered, "Sir, should we send up a signal?" The older guard, Fred Stewart, shook his head firmly. "Don't do anything stupid." Martin looked confused. "But there are so many killers. They're obviously planning to go on a massive killing spree here at The Sovereign Residences!" Fred watched as the group of assassins disappeared into the distance, t

    Franklin hissed with venom. "But I seriously underestimated that damn that bitch Victoria! All these years, I've been lurking in the shadows while she appeared to be living quietly. To think that she's actually become even more vicious and dangerous than before…" He added, "This move of hers was like pulling the rug out from under us. She managed to push you, me, and Joe right into the eye of the storm all at once." Mia screamed like a woman possessed. "I told you years ago to kill that bitch, but you wouldn't listen. You were completely mesmerized by her! And for what? She never even wanted you. "Now she wants both me and Joe dead. Franklin, bring back the ruthless spirit you had when you ruled the martial world. Make sure she's gone for good." Franklin sneered. "Don't worry. Victoria's martial skills are finished. She's weak now and can't stir up trouble anymore. Maurice wants me to help Scarlett, using her as bait to lure Andrew in. "He thinks he can use me as his muscl

    In another annex of the Driscoll residence, Mia stormed in with a dark expression. "Mia, what's wrong? You look furious," Franklin asked with a smile. This part of the estate was her personal territory, taking up nearly a third of the Driscoll family's grounds. As Maurice's wife and the second lady of the house, Mia had enjoyed endless favor and privilege. "Franklin, we might have a serious problem. Maurice is probably getting suspicious about our relationship," she said coldly, giving him a meaningful glance. Franklin's expression didn't change as he raised his palm in a gesture that made him look like some enlightened holy man. He said calmly, "We've always just had a normal senior-junior relationship. You're now married to Maurice and have given him a top-tier genius heir, so I don't think he really cares what kind of relationship we have." Mia snapped irritably. "Franklin, there's nobody else here, so drop the holy act already! Put away that holier-than-thou routine.

    Maurice's view of Franklin, once full of admiration, had shifted over the years. First to equality, then to thinking he was nothing special, and now to outright disdain. He was no longer that naive rich scion from years ago. Back then, as the proud heir of the Driscoll family, Maurice roamed the martial world and fell for Mia, a beautiful woman with exceptional skills. At the time, Mia, dressed in flowing white, was seen as the perfect match for Franklin. He was handsome, talented, and admired by all. Yet Maurice, with the Driscoll family's wealth and influence, managed to win her over, defeating Franklin in a way only money and status could. Maurice had felt pretty smug about it back then, thinking to himself that even though Franklin was handsome and incredibly skilled in martial arts, Mia had still ended up in Maurice's hands. Franklin might have been impressive, but Maurice believed he was the greater man. With Scarlett's revelation, he finally understood the bitter trut

    Scarlett mumbled, "I'm not sure if I should say this." Maurice snorted. "What's there to hesitate about? Just spit it out." Scarlett still looked uneasy. "Victoria said that before Mia married into the Driscoll family, she was actually Franklin's junior." Maurice nodded matter-of-factly. "That's right. Mia and Franklin were indeed senior and junior. That's also why that bald bastard agreed to work with the Driscoll family to plot against Victoria and Andrew." Scarlett hesitated again. "Dad, that's not what I really wanted to tell you. I-It's something else." Maurice's tone grew impatient. "I told you to speak plainly, so stop stalling." Scarlett took a deep breath and stopped holding back. "When Victoria mentioned that Mia was Franklin's junior, she also said that they had a relationship. She claimed Franklin arranged for her to marry into our family." Suddenly, she stopped speaking because she noticed Maurice's face had gone pitch black with rage. Nonetheless, Maurice
