C340: Major Scandal
Silas had spent his life trying to save others, but in the end, he hadn't been saved by the people he held dear. He had died saving people.The memory stirred a faint heaviness in Veyron's heart, a feeling he had almost forgotten existed.After a moment, he shook his head slightly. Since Iris had spoken, he wouldn't pursue the matter any further. He turned his cold gaze back toward the elderly couple. "You should thank my wife.""Thank you!""Thank you so much, Iris!""You've always been such a kind-hearted girl. Thank you for sparing us!"Victor and Catherine hurriedly expressed their gratitude, afraid that even one wrong word might cause Veyron to change his mind."Now get out of here.""Yes! Yes! We're leaving immediately!"They scrambled to their feet and hurried out of the conference room without waiting for another command.Once they were gone, Veyron turned toward Iris. To his surprise, she was looking at him with a serious, thoughtful expression."What?" he asked, almost laug
C339: Terrible Cost
To Victor and Catherine, Veyron's voice was as terrifying as a command from the king of hell himself.They had never imagined that the captain of Thunderpeak, a man they had considered far beyond their reach, would address Veyron with such profound respect. The same captain who had struck Ryan and humiliated Victor had bowed before Veyron as though he were someone whose displeasure could bring disaster upon them all.When they saw the icy expression on Veyron's face, they finally understood. He had never intended to let them leave so easily.THUD!Without another thought, the elderly couple dropped to their knees. They lowered their heads, their earlier arrogance completely replaced by fear."Veyron, please forgive us this time!" Victor clasped his hands together, his voice trembling as he pleaded for mercy. "We were only confused for a moment. We didn't mean to cause so much trouble!""Confused for a moment?" Veyron's lips curved into a cold sneer. "When exactly haven't you been con
C338: Expelled
The force of Gabriel's slap sent Victor staggering backward. He nearly crashed to the floor, but Catherine hurriedly caught him, struggling to keep him upright."Wait, Captain!" Ryan suddenly exclaimed. His face was a mixture of astonishment and dread as he stared at Gabriel. "Did you just say Mr. Blackwell stole your token?"A terrible realization began to dawn on him. If the jade token truly belonged to Gabriel and Victor had stolen it, then everything he had done in the name of protecting Victor had been a catastrophic mistake."Of course!" Gabriel roared, his fury rising again. "I clearly gave that token to..."He suddenly stopped as Veyron coughed loudly. The interruption caught his attention. He glanced toward Veyron and immediately understood the silent warning. He had nearly revealed something he shouldn't.He remembered what Augustus Laurent had said about Veyron's preference for keeping a low profile. There was no reason to expose his identity unnecessarily, especially in fr
C337: Declaring War
"Stop!"The soldiers halted in surprise. Every head turned toward the entrance as a tall, imposing figure strode into the conference room.His presence was commanding, and his expression was stern enough to silence anyone who might have considered speaking out of turn."Huh?" The soldiers exchanged bewildered glances. It was their captain! Why had he suddenly appeared here?Veyron subtly lowered his fingers. A strange light flickered in his eyes as he clicked his tongue. These soldiers were certainly lucky. If their captain had arrived even a minute later, they might have permanently lost the ability to hold a gun. Unfortunately, it seemed as though he wouldn't get the opportunity to test Thunderpeak's combat strength today.Meanwhile, one of the soldiers suddenly leaned toward his companion and whispered, "Could it be that the captain has come to punish this unruly criminal himself?"The suggestion immediately caught everyone's attention. Several soldiers exchanged excited looks, an

C336: Death Without Mercy!
"Don't be scared." Veyron gently patted Iris' head, reassuring her with a calmness that seemed completely out of place in the middle of the terrifying situation."I'm here." His voice was soft and steady. There wasn't the slightest trace of panic in it.At that moment, Ryan couldn't help but snort. "Hmph! You were so arrogant earlier. Now my backup has arrived. Let's see how you act now."He proudly gestured toward the soldiers surrounding the conference room. "They are all high-level, highly trained special forces soldiers of Thunderpeak. Every one of them has undergone rigorous combat training and experienced countless dangerous missions. You don't stand a chance against them."The soldiers stood motionless behind him. Their expressions were cold and disciplined, their weapons held firmly in their hands.They didn't need to shout or make unnecessary movements. Their mere presence was enough to make the entire conference room feel suffocating.Yet Veyron only glanced at them. "I don'
