Chapter 458
“Then you know better than to waste my time...” The coldness in Elijah’s eyes remained unbroken as he looked down on the frail old man from his standing posture.David DiLaurentis exhaled a slow breath and said calmly, “There are coincidences in this world that we just do not understand. They are simply there by some miracle we cannot comprehend. Do you not think so, son-in-law?” He looked at peace in that resting position, despite the deadly stare of Elijah Langston boring into him right now.“I am no believer in coincidences or miracles.” Elijah’s response was quick and sharp. “Things happen exactly the way they are meant to be. We just believe otherwise to convince ourselves there will always be some miracle waiting somewhere.”The old patriarch smiled, the lines around his eyes crinkling, and shook his head. “Who am I to lecture a master of the old ways? The elders used to know more than the children, but children now know far better than we elders. I

“Mr… Sir, are you sure you want to leave right now? You’re not feeling dizzy or lightheaded in any way?”The elderly head doctor of the private clinic asked with deep concern, flashing a small penlight into the calm, unresponsive eyes of Elijah Langston, who was seated on the edge of the hospital bed.Elijah rose to his feet, massaging the square of white bandage taped over the crook of his inner arm, where a large amount of his blood had just been drawn.He responded, his voice steady. “I can stand on my own two feet, Doctor. Thank you for doing your job.”The assisting nurse leaned close to the elderly doctor and whispered, her eyes wide with disbelief. “I have run several tests and checked his vitals more than once already; it does not even look like he just donated that much blood. He is supposed to remain on bed rest and observation for the next twenty-four hours.”“I do not have the next twenty-four hours to sit around,” Elijah stat

Peter Stonewell's eyes dimmed. He turned in the direction of Master Nightbane, his briefcase still gripped in his hand."East Sorevia... the distant realm beyond the Twelve Seas, where monsters in human skin rise up to rule the peak of this world. Are you from that place?" His brow lifted slightly as he questioned the elderly man.The bald-headed man stepped closer to Peter's side and said in a low, audible voice, "I recognize his poison techniques. He is a member of the Hall of Hundred Poisons; they dominate the Islands of No Return in the East. They are one of the deadliest poisonous Orders.""Are they truly that great?" Peter raised his chin, unimpressed."As an entire united Order, perhaps. But a lone member standing in my sight? No," the bald-headed man replied bluntly, with no flicker of emotion in his cold, dead eyes.Master Nightbane gritted his teeth and tightened his fists, but he did not dare to make a single move. He simply said, his voice strained, "Then I am right. You a

"Your Insolent Expert's deadline, or do you still think he is just a random extortionist? I guess the Wexlers haven't come clean yet..." Peter simply said, his tone dripping with condescension.Andrew Lancaster was still confused, his brow furrowing as he demanded, "What are you talking about?"Instead of explaining, Peter Stonewell turned his back and announced, "Right now, you no longer have to worry about Elijah Langston's impending threat to your Lancaster family. Our Stonewell family has decided to use his exact deadline to settle all matters regarding our Great Families. In two days, you will hand over everything that concerns your Lancaster Pharmaceutical; they will be under new management henceforth. Once we officially send Elijah Langston to the land of the dead, where he rightfully belongs, you will have to answer directly to us. There will be no extension of deadlines."He picked up his briefcase from where he had left it and added coldly, "Your pharmaceutical empire belong
Chapter 454
"Peter, exactly who do you think you are to come in here and spout such nonsense..." Anthony Lancaster did not even waste a second, stepping forward with a curse on his lips. "If you want to buy our Lancaster Pharmaceutical, why don't I just buy your Stonewell family for half the price?" His eyes were fierce and bloodshot as he glared at the young man who was right around his own age.Peter Stonewell smiled coldly, casually dropping his heavy briefcase by his side with a soft thud as he said, "Anthony, you are here. Are you not busy chasing Serena DiLaurentis' ass? I heard you still haven't bagged her, even at the expense of your own public reputation.""You!" Anthony's face turned a deep shade of red in an instant. Even the highest elders of his own Lancaster family would not dare to make a mockery of him this way, let alone an arrogant outsider standing right in his own hall."I am here to negotiate real business with the elders of this household, not impulsive kids," Peter added wi
Chapter 453
"Huh?" The elders all looked at each other in paralyzing shock before all springing to their feet and crowding in the direction of the iPad. Even Anthony completely forgot about the ongoing, heated argument and hurriedly moved as well to take a look for himself.No one was placing any minor orders for Florentis currently, speak less of buying out everything they had left. If there was no verified deposit of such a significant amount, he would have really thought someone was just messing around with their Lancaster family."Our total Florentis product available is worth well over one hundred billion dollars. Does that not mean they are entirely serious to pay the rest by securing this deposit?" "Did New Med suddenly have a rethink, or is this someone who knows our true value as the biggest distributor in this entire region?""That has to be it. Without our established distribution networks, there would be no pharmaceutical industry in Brookly
