“Miss,” the guard asked, looking between the furious woman and the sweaty young man, “are you associated with this beggar?”Rosalie was quick to step forward. She adjusted the hem of her expensive gown and snorted coldly.“Do we look like people that would be associated with trash like this?” she asked, her nose wrinkled in disgust. “

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

Elijah Langston didn’t take his eyes off the letter in his hand, but he wasn’t looking at the content anymore; his mind was already miles away, fitting pieces of this puzzle into place. It turned out his initial deduction had hit the bull’s-eye: the Man in the Hood really had something to do with the Six-Fold Binding Formation placed at Lilian Montclair’s residence. Not only had Elijah destroyed the buried talisman formation and the curse Lilian had unintentionally triggered by stepping on the sun talisman, but he had also violently kicked the Guardian Spirit back to the hellish dimension it belonged to. Such an underworld entity that existed beyond the mortal plane of this world, didn’t just pop up in Brooklyn Heights by accident. It appeared only when summoned, bound by a blood pact that required a level of forbidden knowledge that had been lost for centuries.A pact of that magnitude was not something simple to form, even for those steeped in the forbidden arts of the old tradit

The blissful smile that had graced Elijah’s face at the thought of his wife vanished in a fraction of a second, replaced instantly by a mask of cold, lifeless indifference. The temperature around the gate of the DiLaurentis Estate seemed to drop several degrees as he slowly turned around, his sharp, predatory eyes locking onto a garbage bin sitting in the shadows on the opposite side of the road.There was a frantic rustling sound, followed by a grunt of exertion. A man was struggling desperately to climb out from the depths of the refuse, but his aging legs, perhaps cramped from hours of hiding, failed him at the crucial moment.The bin tipped precariously, and with a loud, metallic clatter it toppled over, sending the elderly man somersaulting onto the pavement amidst a cascade of rotten vegetables, discarded wrappers, and street filth.If anyone from any of the aristocratic families of Brooklyn Heights society had walked by at that moment, they would have been shocked down to their

At that very moment, the heavy gates of the Ainsworth Mansion opened, admitting a convoy of two black, armored SUVs. Leading them on foot was the elderly butler. The vehicles came to a synchronized halt near the entrance where Grace was standing, their engines cutting out. The butler approached Grace and bowed deeply, his breath steady and heartless as he delivered the news she had been waiting for. “We found him, Madam. He was getting himself drunk somewhere in the North District.”Grace didn’t even blink. She waved him off dismissively with a simple. “Inform Mother…”The doors of the SUVs were thrown open simultaneously, and several burly men, their faces obscured by tactical masks, swarmed out like angry wasps. They moved to the rear of the second vehicle, hauled open the door, and roughly dragged an elderly figure out from the plush leather interior. With no regard for his age or status, they threw him across the abrasive gravel of the driveway.“How dare you disrespect me?!
