Chapter 673: Looking for shipment
Fiona let out a blood-curdling scream, her face draining of all color.She dropped her purse and rushed blindly across the ruined floor, collapsing onto her knees beside her battered, unconscious father."Dad! Please! Wake up!" Fiona sobbed hysterically, her hands trembling uncontrollably as she held his limp, bloody hand. "Dad! What happened to you?! Please, open your eyes!”Alistair stepped quietly over the splintered timber, his dark suit completely untouched by the debris scattered across the room.His golden eyes swept over the destruction, settling on Joe's broken form with a profound, icy stillness."Step aside, Miss Fiona," Alistair said, his voice calm, steady, and anchoring amidst her panicked weeping.Fiona, her cheeks soaked with tears and her body trembling violently, scrambled backward to give him room. "Alistair... please, he's barely breathing! Please save him!"Alistair knelt beside the elderly man.Without a word, he placed his right hand gently over Joe's chest.A s
Chapter 672: A means to get in
Zoro let out a weak, blood-stained chuckle, shaking his head faintly. "You... you think you can take on the twelve families...? They'll... they'll turn you into pill ingredients..."Alistair’s golden eyes narrowed slightly, a terrifying pressure settling over Zoro's chest that made it impossible for him to draw another breath. "I did not ask for your opinion, Zoro. I asked for a location.”Zoro wheezed heavily, blood bubbling at the corner of his lips as the suffocating pressure crushed his lungs."I... I don't know!" Zoro gasped out in sheer terror, his pale eyes bulging. "I swear I don't know where they're made! The pills... they're delivered directly by an envoy sent by the twelve families! He gave them to me... told me to use them if any righteous cultivators ever tried to interfere in our territory! That's all I know... I swear on my life, it comes from the shadow council!"Alistair stared down at the broken crime lord, his golden eyes cold and analytical.Through the subtle vibr
Chapter 671: A malicious pill
Alistair’s expression instantly darkened, his golden eyes narrowing into razor-sharp slits of absolute disgust."Blood-Soul Pill..." Alistair’s voice dropped into a register so cold it could freeze fire. "Refined by burning the living souls and blood-essence of innocent victims. Where did you get that vile thing?"Zoro let out a raspy, maniacal laugh, his teeth stained red with his own blood."Hahaha! Where did I get it?!" Zoro mocked, his face contorting into a twisted grin. "From my masters in the shadow council, of course! They harvest the trash of this city and turn them into pure, intoxicating power! You think you can destroy us?! Eat shit, kid!"Without giving Alistair another second to speak, Zoro shoved the sinister pill into his mouth and swallowed it whole.BOOM!An explosive, jet-black pillar of demonic aura erupted from Zoro’s body, tearing apart the ceiling of The Gilded Veil.His muscles bulged to monstrous proportions, his skin turning a sickly, dark purple as demonic b
Chapter 670: The Weight of Foolishness
"So that's why you're so cocky," Zoro growled, a dark, sinister grin returning to his scarred face as he flexed his spiked iron knuckles, his own low-grandmaster internal Qi violently surging to life. "You think a few parlor tricks make you a master? Let's see how much magic you can use when your Dantian is choked dry!"Zoro whipped his head around to his remaining thirty enforcers. "Don't hold back! Fire the spirit-suppression rounds! Crush him!"The enforcers instantly raised their heavy, military-grade suppression rifles, locking their sights onto Alistair's position.Alistair sighed softly—a sound of profound, bottomless exhaustion."Too much noise," Alistair murmured, his golden eyes flashing with a blinding, celestial brilliance.He didn't draw a sword.He simply raised his left hand and swept his palm gently across the air in a sweeping arc.A silent, ethereal wave of spatial Qi washed over the room like a ripple across a pond.Fwump.In an instantaneous flash of golden light,
Chapter 669: A spineless mess
Lionel felt a surge of false hope and puffed out his chest slightly, thinking his family name had worked once again. "Y-Yes! Richard Harper! He's a very influential man in Valenhold—"SLAP!A heavy, sickening thud echoed through the wreckage of the VIP booth.Zoro’s steel-reinforced palm struck Lionel across the face with the force of a speeding boulder.The impact spun Lionel completely around in mid-air, spraying blood, spit, and half a dozen shattered teeth across the polished floor before he crashed violently into the leather booth."Aaargh!" Lionel shrieked, clutching his ruined, rapidly swelling jaw as he rolled on the floor, sobbing uncontrollably."Your worthless father owes my syndicate over fifteen million in gambling debts!" Zoro spat, wiping a drop of Lionel's blood from his knuckles. "He licks my boots every first of the month just so I don't break his legs, and you bring his name up to intimidate me?!"Lionel’s pride shattered into a million pieces. The arrogant campus
Chapter 668: Playing the hero
Zoro snatched a heavy tactical coat from the rack, pulling a pair of spiked iron knuckles over his fists. "We're heading to that lounge right now. Move out!”The heavy oak doors of the private VVIP room swung open as Zoro marched out at the head of his private army, his heavy boots clattering against the polished marble floor of the upper balcony.Behind him, more than thirty hardened syndicate enforcers poured out into the hallway, weapons drawn, spirit-suppressors hissing softly as they charged their internal mechanisms.The club's patrons below gasped in sudden terror, scattering in all directions as the armed thugs swarmed the stairwells and corridors, completely locking down The Gilded Veil.Up on the upper mezzanine, the pulsing music suddenly distorted and ground to an abrupt, screeching halt.The club's resident DJ cut the tracks, and the flashing neon lights snapped to a harsh, blinding white as the panic rippled through the crowd.Inside Lionel’s VIP booth, the relaxed, cele
