Chapter 112
In an instant, everyone turned their gaze toward Arthur.At that moment, Arthur sat quietly with his eyes closed, as if he hadn’t heard a single word spoken in the room.The hall fell into silence.After a long pause, he slowly opened his eyes. A sharp glint of determination flickered within them.Arthur Hawthorne had turned seventy this year. Over the decades, he had witnessed countless storms in Gravemonth City and survived them all.During the era of his grandfather, Edmund Hawthorne, the Hawthorne family had once dominated Gravemonth City. At that time, their power was so great that even the Iron Serpent operated under their influence.Although the family had declined since those days, no one in the city dared to underestimate them.Arthur slowly scanned the room.Every chairman present was staring at him, waiting for his decision.After a moment, he spoke calmly.“In terms of strength, our Silver Vulture alliance cannot compete with the Iron Serpent.”His tone was steady and deci

“Got it!” Dark wasted no words. He raised his leg and kicked down viciously. Crack! A crisp, horrifying sound echoed through the room as Alaric’s legs shattered instantly. “Ahhh—!” A heart-wrenching scream tore through the air. Alaric’s face turned deathly pale as unbearable pain surged through his body. Sweat poured down his forehead, and his entire body trembled violently. Thud! Dark casually tossed him to the ground like a piece of trash. Several Lancaster family experts immediately stepped forward, grabbing Alaric and dragging him across the floor like a lifeless dog. Even as he was dragged away, Alaric glared fiercely at Seraphina. “Seraphina!” he shouted through gritted teeth. “Don’t get too cocky. Mr. Howe won’t let you get away with this!” “Haha!” Seraphina let out a mocking laugh. “You think Christopher will come save you?” she sneered. “He’s probably busy trying to save his own life right now.” “What?” Alaric’s eyes widened in disbelief. Mr. Howe… in troubl

“Hahaha!” Henry burst into loud laughter as he looked sharply at Mr. Grey. “So tell me,” he said with interest, “how exactly does the Iron Serpent plan to deal with Christopher?” Mr. Grey remained calm as he answered. “Our plan is simple. The Iron Serpent will keep Christopher occupied in Gravemonth City. Meanwhile, the Lancaster family will dispatch forces to seize Aurethia City and Lisle City.” He paused briefly before continuing. “Once your forces create chaos in those cities, Christopher will have no choice but to divide his attention. With his base collapsing behind him, he will be trapped here in Gravemonth City.” Mr. Grey’s voice lowered slightly. “At that point, the Iron Serpent will strike and eliminate him. A perfect pincer attack.” The plan was ruthless. If Christopher were pinned down in Gravemonth City, he would be unable to return to Aurethia City or Lisle City to stabilize the situation. And if chaos erupted in those cities—especially if anything h

Darius’s sharp eyes narrowed as he glared at Needle. “Why are you telling me all this?” he demanded, his voice low and measured. Needle’s jaw clenched, his tone dripping with urgency and steel. “Christopher killed Master Victor, and now he’s crossed you. I want you to take him out, to avenge Master Victor!” A cold, humorless chuckle escaped Darius. “Huh.” His laugh carried both disdain and calculation. Needle’s words were clearly motivated by more than just loyalty or concern—he had an angle. But Darius didn’t need convincing; Christopher had personally meddled in his affairs, and now that the threat was real, Darius’s desire to see him removed burned fiercely. “Christopher has mysterious and complicated connections,” Darius said slowly, his expression tightening. “Killing him won’t be as simple as you think.” Yet there was no denying the cold desire in his eyes. He knew a man capable of killing Victor wasn’t ordinary. Even Needle, a figure of renown in his own right, had dared

One of the men stepped forward and asked respectfully, “Mr. Kane, the Obsidian Tide and the Silver Vulture are attacking fiercely. What should we do now?”Darius snorted coldly, his eyes filled with disdain.“We’ll meet force with force. Do you think a few reckless fools can shake the Iron Serpent?” he said arrogantly.The Iron Serpent had ruled Gravemonth City for over a hundred years. Its influence ran deep throughout the city—within businesses, officials, and the underground world. To Darius, the sudden aggression of the Obsidian Tide and Silver Vulture was nothing more than an impulsive challenge.Even if the two forces joined hands, destroying the Iron Serpent would not be easy.His face hardened.“Issue my order. From this moment on, raise the Iron Serpent’s security to the highest level. Every property, every territory, every stronghold must be guarded!”“Yes, Mr. Kane!” the woman replied immediately before hurrying away to carry out the orders.The man beside Darius hesitated
Chapter 107
“Farewell, Mr. Howe!”Gideon Ashford, leader of the Obsidian Tide, along with the chairmen of the three powerful conglomerate families, bent their backs respectfully as Christopher and Anna walked away.Not a single person dared to stop them.Christopher didn’t even glance back. Holding Anna’s hand, he calmly walked out of the grand hall as if nothing significant had happened.The heavy doors slowly closed behind them.For a moment, the entire venue was silent.Then Gideon Ashford straightened his back and turned toward Darius.His expression was icy cold.“From this moment onward,” Gideon said slowly, his voice echoing across the hall, “the Obsidian Tide will launch a full-scale attack on the Iron Serpent.”His declaration fell like a thunderbolt.Without waiting for Darius to respond, Gideon turned around.“Let’s go.”Hundreds of Obsidian Tide members followed him out of the hotel in disciplined formation, their presence radiating hostility.Before long, only the corporate chairmen
