Chapter 363
Old Mr. Carrington’s sleek Mercedes-Benz came to a smooth, silent halt in front of the towering iron gates of the Langston Mansion.“Young Master, are you sure about this? The Wexlers… they…” Old Mr. Carrington stammered, his knuckles turning white as his hands shivered uncontrollably around the leather-wrapped steering wheel.The Wexlers were one of the Five Great Families in Brooklyn Heights, known for their ruthlessness and their expansive influence. As someone who was deeply embedded in the city’s underbelly, Old Mr. Carrington was well informed.He knew exactly how the Young Master had crashed the birthday party of the Wexler Patriarch just a few days ago, delivering a humiliation that demanded blood. Walking into their territory now, alone and unarmed, seemed like suicide. He knew the Young Master possessed a set of terrifying abilities that had even earned him the whispered “Insolent Expert” in Brooklyn Heights, but the Wexlers commanded a private army. They couldn’t be underes

“She couldn’t possibly be… ” he muttered.He tapped her number and dialed. The first ring didn’t even complete before the call connected, as though she had been staring at the screen with her finger hovering over the answer button.“Boss…” Nancy’s voice came through, thick with a dramatic sigh of relief. “I was about to call the police. If anything happens to you, I won’t be able to live anymore. The office felt so empty without—”Elijah frowned slightly, cutting through her dramatics. “Where are you right now, Ms. Falkner?” he asked.“Where else, Boss? I’m waiting for you in the office. Are you coming now? Are you hungry? I can get—”“Go home, Ms. Falkner,” Elijah said, his tone shifting into a mild scold. “Do you also need my permission to know when to close for the day’s work? Go home and sleep.”“Okay, Boss. I’ll go home now,” she replied instantly, her voice dropping to a meek, obedient whisper. She didn’t argue for a second.Elijah was about to hang up when her voice perked up a

The cold night air bit at Elijah Langston’s skin as he walked down the empty street, but he moved with the relaxed ease of someone strolling through a warm summer park.If he hadn’t possessed the foresight to slip out of the pedestrian gate when he did, Margaret DiLaurentis looked as though she was genuinely prepared to carve him up like a holiday turkey. A hot bath and a soft bed were now nothing more than distant dreams.Just then, the blinding beams of headlights washed over him from behind. Elijah didn’t break his stride or turn around; he knew perfectly well that taxis didn’t move these streets at this ungodly hour, and he had no interest in being hassled by private security patrols. However, the vehicle didn’t pass him. The purr of a high-performance engine slowed to a stop, and a sleek, black Mercedes-Benz pulled up alongside him, its window rolling down.“Young Master… is that you?”It was Old Mr. Carrington. The patriarch of the aristocratic family had apparently parked his

Elijah simply took a step back, his hands raised in a gesture of surrender, though his expression was more awkward than terrified. "Um... Mom... What are you doing with that?""How dare you call me that nonsense? Do you want to die today?" Margaret's face became even more twisted as she pointed the large kitchen knife directly at his chest."Mom, it's late..." Serena didn't look behind her as she spoke, her voice thick with exhaustion. She kept her eyes on the table, assuming her mother was just launching another verbal tirade. With how loud Margaret was screaming that night, she would surely wake up everyone in the main DiLaurentis Estate and the neighboring apartments.Margaret snorted coldly, her grip on the knife handle tightening until her knuckles turned white. "Don't even think to interfere in this, Serena. You might ignore the shamelessness of this gigolo, but I will not! How dare a useless, penniless thing even think of chasing the skirts of other women behind your back when

“Wifey, don’t you miss me…?”Elijah’s expression brightened instantly, his weariness vanishing into playful affection. He opened his arms wide, standing in front of the door like a man expecting at least a warm hug from his beloved wife to wash away the stress of the day.“Don’t even bother me with your nonsense tonight. Hurry out of my sight…”Serena didn’t even look up. She adjusted the pair of thin-rimmed reading glasses perched on her nose with a sharp, dismissive movement and returned her focus to the stack of documents spread across the dining table. She held a pen in her hand, aggressively underlining clauses in the contract; the scratching sound echoed in the quiet room.‘Wifey, I’ve really had the most hectic day since we got married… shouldn’t you welcome me with a hug?’ Elijah thought, scratching the back of his head cluelessly. He let out a silent sigh. It seemed his fiesty CEO wife wasn’t in the mood for teasing tonight.Seeing that his charm was bouncing off her like p

“Was there anything strange about gifting the house? Did he say something? A specific reason?” Elijah Langston pressed, his voice tight. He didn’t truly believe a mysterious figure like the Man in the Hood would divulge his grand plan to a pawn, but in this situation, even a throwaway comment could be the key to unlocking the entire puzzle.The old man just shook his head, his face a portrait of helpless confusion. “He rarely gives reasons, Young Master. Even when he does, they are riddles. I remember asking about the house—why the Montclairs? The Montclairs weren’t one of the Five Great Families he enriched using my aristocratic family’s influence and power. They didn’t even have anything to do with what happened to your family fifteen years ago. They were always a question mark in my mind…”“What exactly did you do for the Montclairs?” Elijah asked, crossing his hands behind his back and leaning slightly against the cold brick of the estate wall.Old Mr. Carrington opened his eyes f
