“So this is all you’re capable of?”Watching the robed man’s display, Adrian let out a faint, derisive laugh.He had expected something far more formidable today—yet this was nothing but child’s play.“What difference does it make if the number of these undead knights increases?”The robed man’s gaze remained fixed on the multiplying ranks of undead knights, yet the wounds on their bodies showed no sign of diminishing.On the contrary, they seemed to be spreading, worsening by the moment.How could this be?Before he could comprehend what was happening, the undead knights began to crumble, disintegrating as though collapsing into dust.The rift he had torn open in space also began to close, slowly sealing itself.“What did you do?!”The robed man demanded angrily. Adrian merely shrugged, looking almost innocent.“What could I have possibly done? I just waved my sleeve. If they couldn’t withstand it, how is that my problem?”“You arrogant fool!”Adrian curled his lip. Plenty of people
Chapter 324
To rise as the unrivaled magnate of the jade industry in the Kingdom of Ganz, Maizart was, by nature, a man who drew clear lines between gratitude and grievance—and who acted with ruthless resolve.In an instant, a chilling murderous intent surged from him.Maizart fixed Ivela with an icy stare, while Ivela let out a bleak, hollow laugh.“I know you won’t forgive me, Father. Go on—do it.”As he spoke, a calm smile spread across his face.Before anyone could react, Ivela moved with startling speed. From the sofa, he drew his gun and pulled the trigger without hesitation. At such close range, not even a god could have evaded the shot.Maizart’s eyes widened in disbelief, as though he were staring at a complete stranger.“Didn’t you say you wanted me to inherit your empire? Then consider this… an early succession.”Ivela understood all too well—by now, whatever remained of their bond as father and son was beyond repair. No matter what he did, Maizart would never forgive him.Worse still,

“My most beloved youngest son?”Ivela reacted as though he had just heard something utterly absurd.He stared at Maizart, his eyes brimming with madness and scorn.Maizart’s heart sank further and further; he could not comprehend why his son would wear such an expression.“Stop deceiving yourself. The son you cherish most has always been my elder brother—Slov! How could it possibly be me?”Maizart frowned slightly. “Why would you think that?”Ivela let out a hollow laugh and took two steps back, his entire demeanor unraveling.“Why would I think that? Ask yourself. Ask yourself what you’ve done all these years!”“Everyone knows my mother was nothing more than a second wife you took in. How could you ever truly value me?”“When anything happens, isn’t my brother always the first person you think of? You leave everything to him—have you ever once thought of me?”All at once, Ivela seemed to lose control. His voice rose higher and higher until it broke into a near-hysterical shout.He po

Ivela had the nagging sense that something about Maizart felt off today, yet he couldn’t quite put his finger on what it was.After hearing his words, Maizart forced a faint, strained smile.“It already means a great deal to me that you care this much.”“Even now, you still haven’t found any leads?”Ivela quickly shook his head. “Father, my elder brother hasn’t made any progress either. When I called him, he was still at a loss.”“But we’ve already agreed—no matter how difficult it gets, we won’t give up!”His expression was earnest, tinged with worry, as though he were genuinely concerned for Maizart.And perhaps because of that, Maizart found himself momentarily unsettled.Anyone who saw that face would find it impossible to believe he could commit something so monstrous.“No leads… Then what about you? Have you uncovered anything? Any clues, any direction at all?”Facing the son he cherished most, Maizart still clung to a faint hope.Even if Ivela were to admit his wrongdoing, he,
Chapter 321
Fearing they might not believe him, the mercenary activated a mechanism on the key, revealing a tiny hidden button.He pressed it, and a recording began to play.The voices that emerged caused both Norman and the driver’s expressions to darken.The conversation detailed the very assassination attempt they had just endured.With a trace of confidence, the mercenary said, “Mr. Norman, surely you recognize your own son’s voice.”He tried to stand, but the driver kicked him back to the ground.“You’re not going anywhere.”The mercenary immediately flew into a rage. “How can you go back on your word? You said if I provided proof, you wouldn’t kill me!”Norman stepped forward. “I did say that. But I cannot rule out the possibility of fabricated audio. I need to verify it myself.”“If this turns out to be falsified, you will never leave the Ganz Kingdom.”He turned and got into the car. Adrian and the others followed.The driver bound the mercenary tightly and threw him into the trunk before

Adrian paid no attention to their cries. He simply continued counting, and with each number he spoke, another man collapsed.Until only the leader remained, standing at the center.Adrian dusted off his hands. “Just you left. So—will you answer my questions honestly, or shall I continue?”The man’s face was ashen with despair. “What questions? Just ask!”Adrian tapped his forehead as if remembering, then turned toward the car. “It’s safe now. You can all come out.”Norman opened the door and stepped out.The driver and Lincoln Ashford followed closely behind. Together, they approached the surviving mercenary leader.“Who sent you?” Norman demanded. “Angbitai?”The mercenary froze for a moment, then lowered his head in silence.Norman was certain he had never seen this man before. Being hired to kill him was the most plausible explanation.Adrian idly tossed a few bullets in his hand, catching them again and again, occasionally glancing at the man.“I don’t know. We’re mercenaries—we w
