Chapter 310: mother and son duo
"Patrick, don't waste your breath arguing with a beggar," Jocelyn interrupted, her voice sharp enough to cut glass.She crossed her arms, her manicured nails digging into the premium leather of her designer handbag.She glared at Alistair as if he were a stain on her pristine floor. "Look at you. Sneaking into a high-end supermarket in Haven, probably using the last bits of change Sara left you in the divorce settlement. Let me tell you something, Alistair. Tonight is the Connor Group's grand launch. Tristan is presenting a cure that will make our family globally famous. We are entering the highest echelons of the southern province, while you... You will always be a nobody buying groceries alone in the dark."She took a step closer, her eyes flashing with a predatory greed. "But before we cut ties completely, you will compensate us. I don't care if you have to sell your organs or beg on the streets. You ruined Sara's public image and you caused Tristan to be hospitalized by your thugg
Chapter 309: A family of professional gaslighters
Jocelyn had traveled with her husband, Gerard for vacation while Patrick had left the country for ‘studies’, though common sense dictated that Patrick was incapable of studying. Best case scenario, he had used the money Sara had given him for a Master's degree, to frolic across Europe and now that the money had finished, he decided to return. Regardless, Alistair didn't wish to cross paths with them but now that he had done so, he had no intentions of having a conversation with them.So, he tried to walk past them, but how could either of them allow him to do so?“And where do you think you're going, you good-for-nothing?” Jocelyn questioned as she blocked his path, her gaze filled with complete and utter disdain.“I doubt that's your business,” Alistair replied. “You bastard, how dare you speak to my mother like that? You ungrateful cunt, to think that my sister wasted her time with a useless fool like you.” Patrick coldly remarked from the side.Alistair raised a brow. Did Sara
Chapter 308: A chance encounter at the grocery store
"Now that your mind is clear," Alistair continued, his voice returning to its calm, imperial cadence, "you must act as if nothing has changed. Whoever planted that core in you will be monitoring your behavior. If they realize you have broken free from its influence, they will either eliminate you or accelerate their plans before we are ready."Beggar John swallowed hard, forcing his breathing to slow down as he dragged his fractured composure back together.He was a veteran of the martial underworld, but realizing the very foundation beneath his feet was rotted out made him feel like a novice standing on a crumbling cliff."I... I understand, Sir," John said, forcing his hands to stop shaking as he stood up, bowing deeply to Alistair. "I will maintain the facade. I will play the part of the senile, foggy-headed beggar. But I don't understand. Why would they target me? I am no elder and though I have some influence, it is nothing compared to the elders.”“I reckon it is because of me.”
Chapter 307: The rot within the Beggar's sect
Alistair unleashed his true, unrestricted aura. It didn't manifest as a destructive shockwave, but rather as an invisible, suffocating ocean of golden celestial light that completely locked down the space within the room.Beggar John froze instantly, his breath trapped in his throat, his limbs paralyzed by a majestic, primordial weight that felt capable of crushing the entire district with a single thought.Alistair extended a single hand, pointing his finger at John's chest.A thin, laser-accurate strand of golden qi shot forward, piercing straight into the old man's central dantians and surging through his entire meridian network.Alistair was performing a thorough spiritual scan.A few seconds later, the suffocating golden pressure vanished as quickly as it had appeared, returning the room to its natural state. Beggar John collapsed onto a wooden chair, gasping frantically for air, his uniform drenched in a sudden burst of cold sweat."Relax, John," Alistair said, his voice carry
Chapter 306: Some minor investigation
The moment Alistair crossed the threshold, the old wooden doors creaking softly under his weight, Beggar John snapped his head up. Recognizing the familiar aura, Beggar John quickly stepped out from behind his low counter, ushering Alistair into a private back room and sealing the heavy bamboo curtains behind them.“Sir, you are here. The heavens must be smiling on me for you to visit me.” Beggar John remarked. “That remains to be seen,” Alistair said as he glanced around. “You weren't available today.”“Indeed, I wasn't. The sect sent out a missive for all Beggars to go into hiding for the time being.” Beggar John said in an almost regretful tone.”“That so? “Indeed, but there's no need to worry. Once I got the missive, I told my assistant to inform you about my whereabouts should you come looking for me," Beggar John spoke in a hushed, reverent tone, bowing deeply. "First, allow me to offer my humblest congratulations. Your performance at the spirit painting exhibition was nothin
Chapter 305: Extending an invitation
Tristan’s heart leaped at the suggestion, a dark, vindictive thrill rushing through his veins. He remembered the humiliation Alistair had inflicted upon him, the effortless way the bastard had shattered his pride time and time again.The thought of watching Alistair stand in the shadows of the gala, completely exposed as a penniless nobody while Tristan was showered with global adulation, was intoxicating.However, Tristan quickly masked his malice, adopting his typical, magnanimous facade.He placed a gentle, reassuring hand on Mira’s shoulder and looked at Sara with an expression of pure benevolence."Actually, Sara, I think Mira has a point, though perhaps for different reasons," Tristan said softly, feigning the ultimate act of maturity. "Regardless of your past disagreements, Alistair was a part of your life for a long time. It would be a shame to exclude him from such a historic moment. Let's invite him. Show him that we harbor no ill will, and let him witness the dawn of a new
