Jack Sullivan stepped out of his car, as he walked toward the Civil Affairs Office.

The day was supposed to mark the official end of his marriage to Lisa Johnson, and while he felt no regret, there was a faint sense of hesitation in his heart.

The office was quiet, its sterile atmosphere punctuated by the occasional shuffle of papers.

Jack glanced at his watch and frowned.

Lisa was late. Not typical of her, even under strained circumstances.

He pulled out his phone and dialed her number. The line rang twice before it clicked. A gruff voice, not Lisa’s, answered.

"Well, well," the voice drawled.

"If it isn’t Jack Sullivan."

Jack’s grip on the phone tightened, his voice icy.

"Who is this? Where’s Lisa?"

The man chuckled, a low, menacing sound.

"Let’s just say Lisa’s tied up at the moment. If you want her back, you’ll come to the Johnson family house. Alone."

Before Jack could respond, the line went dead.

Jack arrived at the Johnson family house within minutes, his body taut with t

  • Chapter 261: The Array Master's Last Stand

    Ian Stewart struggled to his feet, blood streaming from his mouth as Jack Sullivan loomed over him like an avatar of death. The crowd watched in horrified fascination as the representative of Logan Barnes faced imminent execution."Wait!" Ian Stewart gasped desperately. "You think you can kill me so easily? I am the greatest array master in the province!""Are you?" Jack Sullivan asked with mild interest, his foot still poised to deliver the fatal blow.Ian Stewart's hand shot to his coat pocket, pulling out an ornate bronze compass. "Let me show you what real power looks like!"With frantic movements, Ian Stewart began positioning objects around the winery—overturning chairs, scattering plates, spilling wine, and knocking over candles. To most observers, it looked like the desperate flailing of a dying man."What is he doing?" Sophie Stewart asked nervously."He's lost his mind," Steven Harris replied dismissively. "Making a mess won't save him from Master Jack Sullivan."But Jack Su

  • Chapter 260: The Fatal Defiance

    Ian Stewart's cold smile widened as he pulled out an ornate pocket watch, checking the time with theatrical precision."You have exactly three minutes to surrender, Jack Sullivan," Ian Stewart announced loudly. "After that, Logan Barnes will consider you in active rebellion against his authority.""Three minutes?" Jack Sullivan asked with mild curiosity. "And what happens if I refuse?""Then you'll be destroyed," Ian Stewart replied with vicious satisfaction. "But first, let me explain why resistance is futile."He gestured grandly around the room. "Everyone here believes your power comes from your martial prowess. But I know the truth—your strength is tied to Carson City's Innate Yin-Yang Array."Gasps echoed through the crowd as Ian Stewart revealed this closely guarded secret."That's right," Ian Stewart continued triumphantly. "The ancient formation that feeds spiritual energy to this region. And guess what, Jack Sullivan? I've sealed it completely."The blood drained from several

  • Chapter 259: The Unexpected Challenge

    William Smith's fury at his son's behavior was palpable as he grabbed William Baker by the collar and slammed him to the ground."You worthless fool!" William Smith roared. "Do you have any idea what you've done? You insulted Master Jack Sullivan to his face!""Father, I didn't know—" William Baker began weakly."You didn't know because you're an arrogant idiot who never bothers to learn anything!" William Smith cut him off viciously. "Master Jack Sullivan could destroy our entire family with a thought!"Charles Chang was equally furious with his son. "Charles Yang, you disgrace! How dare you call Master Jack Sullivan weak? He's killed grandmasters with his bare hands!""Please, Master Jack Sullivan!" William Baker crawled forward on his knees, blood still trickling from his mouth. "I beg your forgiveness! I was ignorant and stupid!""Mercy, Master!" Charles Yang joined him, kowtowing desperately. "I'll do anything to make amends for my disrespect!"Sophia Miller, realizing the magnit

  • Chapter 258: The Shocking Revelation

    William Baker and Charles Yang approached the tense gathering with the swagger of men who had never been challenged in their lives. Their expensive suits and obvious bodyguards marked them as heirs to serious power."Well, well," William Baker said with a condescending smile, "this must be the famous Mr. Sullivan we've heard so little about.""Disappointing," Charles Yang added with obvious disdain. "I expected someone more... impressive. This looks like any random street thug."Samuel Davis's face darkened with rage. "How dare you speak about Mr. Sullivan that way!""How dare we?" William Baker laughed mockingly. "Do you know who you're talking to? I'm William Baker, son of William Smith, leader of Shenping area!""And I'm Charles Yang," the other young man added arrogantly. "Son of Charles Chang, ruler of Chuanyun area. We don't show respect to weaklings.""Weaklings?" Ron Taylor stepped forward angrily. "Mr. Sullivan is the strongest leader in the province!""The strongest?" Charle

  • Chapter 257: The Gathering Storm

    Samuel Davis's declaration of loyalty to Jack Sullivan sent ripples of tension through the gathering crowd. The leader of North Harbor stood firm, his hand resting on his phone as if ready to summon his forces at a moment's notice."You heard me correctly," Samuel Davis continued with steely determination. "River Region stands united, and we don't back down from anyone—no matter how many allies they think they have."Just then, two more figures emerged from the crowd, their faces showing obvious indignation. Daniel Tian from Eastridge City and Ron Taylor from Westlake City approached with purposeful strides."Mr. Sullivan!" Daniel Tian called out angrily. "We just heard what happened with the invitations. This is completely unacceptable!""Absolutely unacceptable!" Ron Taylor agreed, his voice carrying across the entrance area. "How dare they organize a celebration in your honor without properly informing your own regional leaders?"Matthew Richards, still nursing his bruised ego and

  • Chapter 256: The Escalating Confrontation

    Sophia Miller crossed her arms smugly as she watched Jack Sullivan lead his group toward the winery entrance. "You see, Sophie? If he was really important, he would have been formally invited. The fact that his own people weren't even expected proves how insignificant he is."Quinn Senior's face darkened at the insult. "Miss Miller, you clearly don't understand the situation. Mr. Sullivan doesn't need formal invitations—he is the reason this celebration exists.""Oh please," Sophia Miller scoffed. "Don't try to inflate his importance. Everyone knows the real power players in this province, and your Mr. Sullivan isn't one of them.""Is that so?" Quinn Senior's voice carried a dangerous edge. "Then perhaps you can explain why no major event in Carson City could proceed without Mr. Sullivan's approval?""Because Carson City is a backwater!" Sophia Miller replied with vicious satisfaction. "Being important in Carson City is like being the tallest dwarf!"Before Quinn Senior could respond,
