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'
C335: Audacious Criminal
Yet Veyron remained completely calm. He stood there with a confident smile on his face, as though everything happening around him had absolutely nothing to do with him."It's okay." His calm response only made Iris more anxious. How could he possibly remain so relaxed at a time like this?Ryan had already called Thunderpeak for backup. If dozens of soldiers truly arrived, there was no telling how serious the situation would become.Veyron, however, looked as though he were merely watching an insignificant matter unfold. His response earned a mocking sneer from Victor.Was this bastard really not afraid? Or was he simply pretending to be calm? Victor couldn't help but believe it was the latter."Veyron, you're about to die, and you still want to pretend to be calm here?" He sneered. "Huh? You really don't know what's good for you!"Veyron calmly turned his gaze toward him. "Do you think I'm pretending?""Of course!" Victor immediately retorted. "Anyone with eyes can see that you're pr
C334: One Outcome—Death!
"This...!" Everyone in the conference room was stunned as they watched Veyron and Ryan's heads collide.BANG!The impact was so violent that several people instinctively winced. Some even flinched and touched their own foreheads, as though they could feel the pain themselves.BUZZ!Ryan's entire body trembled. The impact was far more powerful than he had anticipated. His head had taken the full force of Veyron's counterattack, leaving him momentarily disoriented.DENG!He staggered backward.DENG!Another unsteady step followed.DENG!Then another. His vision blurred, and countless stars seemed to flash before his eyes. His head throbbed painfully, and his entire body swayed uncontrollably. For a moment, he could barely remain standing."Mr. Vescari!" Zavian and the others cried out in shock. They immediately rushed forward, afraid that Ryan might collapse."Are you okay?" Victor asked anxiously as he reached him first.Ryan couldn't answer immediately. He was still struggling to stea
