Chapter 519
Old Mr. Carrington couldn’t find a single word for a long moment, standing there as though waiting for Elijah to laugh and call it a joke.But he knew better. The Young Master wouldn’t randomly joke about something like this.“Young Master, the Stonewells are really different from whatever they used to be,” he stammered. “The Highborn Gravesend, they—”“I know exactly who the Gravesend are.” Elijah let go of the splinter, and it fell among the others on the floor. “And the name means exactly what it promises.”The old man’s face turned slightly pale, and he took a step forward. “Then you know the history. I just don’t understand why they would associate themselves with low people like the Stonewells. The Gravesend is a name bigger than Brooklyn Heights itself. If you rethink—”“I’m no fan of improvisation.” Elijah pulled out his notebook and flipped it open to a blank page. “The Gravesend can keep their hands off my matter with the Stonewells, or they can do what their history in Sore

Old Mr. Carrington looked toward the doorway and rubbed the side of his head awkwardly.Of course, he could go after the bald-headed man who had just demonstrated that he was no regular practitioner. Of course, he could.Instead, he moved quickly to where Donald Clay lay motionless on the floor and gasped at the state of him up close.Elijah approached from behind, unhurried. “He will survive, but it will take at least a month. And his cultivation progress is gone. If he is even capable of rebuilding his broken core, he will have to start from the very bottom...”As he finished speaking, he swiped his finger, and several silver needles swept out from his sleeve in a clean motion. They pierced accurately into several acupoints across Donald’s body, from the center of his head downward to below his stomach, just beneath the location of the shattered energy core.The old man looked at Elijah with a questioning gaze, and Elijah told him plainly, “I’ve stabilized him for now so his body wo

Five halted mid-motion, and his head turned automatically to the side.Lila Stonewell was staring at him, her face turning redder by the second.She stomped. “I command you to stop. Return. Now.”The bald-headed man’s eyes were blank and void of life, as though the words hadn’t reached him at all. His head simply turned back to its original position, and now he was in a staring contest with Elijah Langston. His eyes were bloodshot despite the emptiness behind them, while Elijah held his gaze with complete calm.To anyone watching, it looked like defenseless prey standing beneath the shadow of a wolf bearing down on it. But only if they knew the truth. Only if they understood the real reason Five had attacked without any warning or provocation.Then Five blinked. The blood drained from his eyes as though it had never been there. He straightened his posture, broke eye contact, and walked toward Lila, who was standing with gritted teeth. In all the time the Seven Calamities of the East

A practitioner who had gone straight for the core of another practitioner, accurately, precisely, striking the exact position of it without any probing or guesswork. That wasn’t something Elijah had expected to encounter today, and yet it had just unfolded right in front of him.The speed alone told him everything he needed to know. And the staff in the man’s hands had now caught his full attention as well. This was not an ordinary practitioner from anywhere near this region.In the same breath that his eyes finished their assessment, Elijah’s expression shifted. He pulled backward out of the squat, head tucked behind, body dropping away from where it had just been. It was a movement so sudden and without apparent reason that anyone watching would have been confused by it.Until the bald-headed man materialized directly in front of him.The Stonewell elders, Old Mr. Carrington, and even Lila had not seen him move. He had closed the entire distance between them in the blink of an eye

The composure Lila had been holding onto the entire time finally broke. Her beautiful face contorted beyond recognition, and her fists clenched tightly at her sides. “Did you think we came here to ask?” She stepped closer, her eyes carrying a deadly edge. “Don’t the dead and crippled guards at your gate tell you that we Stonewells are not clowns?”She was almost in the old man’s face when Donald Clay hauled himself up from the floor and planted his body directly in front of the patriarch.He was the head of security of the Carrington family, even with broken bones, blood soaking through his uniform, and internal injuries. There was still breath in him, and as long as that was true, he could not stand by.“Not another step.” His voice came out steady despite everything, and to the shock of every person in that hall, he raised a pistol squarely at the face of Lila Stonewell.Lila instinctively stepped back, fear crossing her face before she could stop it.Swoosh!The air split apart wi

“Is that so? Or just an excuse to take whatever you want?” Old Mr. Carrington’s voice carried a pointed edge now. “I heard you are even bold enough to use Elijah Langston’s deadline as your own.”At that, Elijah’s eyes lifted slightly, but he remained quiet and still.Lila took a step forward. “Your Carrington family is the oldest aristocratic family in this city, and your roots cut across every direction. It’s not surprising that you have access to this information. Then you understand that we are serious about our mission here, and no one is permitted to stand in our way. The Lancasters and Wexlers have already received our message and will fall in line soon. The Blackwoods will receive one shortly, while Father decides what to do with the Ainsworths.”“This thing Jared has started is a very dangerous madness.” The old man’s voice hardened. “Does he think everyone is a pushover he can snatch whatever he wants from? Do you think I’ll hand over my family business to you? Our roots are
