"Ha! Is it that you're not interested, or that you're not capable?" Griffin smirked, his tone laced with mockery. "Tell you what, for Evelyn's sake, I'll give you a little perk. You put in 100 thousand, and I'll give you a million worth of stock. How does that sound?"

Gabriel remained calm as he replied, "No thanks. I'm not interested in a company that's about to go bankrupt."

Griffin stiffened, his grin faltering. "What did you just say?"

His smile froze as he tried to process

    A terrifying force slammed into him, sending him reeling, struggling to stay upright."Hmph!" Mr. Cooper wasn't done yet. He closed in again, unleashing a relentless barrage of three punches, each one landing squarely on Gavin's chest and abdomen."Ah!" Gavin screamed in agony as his body was hurled backward, crashing heavily into a large tree behind him, blood gushing from his mouth."What?! Mr. Cross!"The Patel family's faces blanched in shock, their cries echoing in disbelief."How is this possible?!" None of them expected Gavin, a Celestial Realm martial artist, to be defeated so swiftly.The opponent needed only four moves to leave him gravely injured and coughing up blood.Lily shrieked in panic, "This is bad! How can this old man be so powerful? Even Mr. Cross can't beat him."Gavin was the renowned martial arts expert sent by the Patel family.For someone like him to be unable to withstand even four moves from the opponent was si

    With a sly grin, Vance said, "I've done the math. The damage your sister caused is worth fifty to sixty billion. My demands aren't too steep—just hand over a third of your family's assets in Calonia."Emily's face darkened. "A third of our assets? You're asking for the moon!"Vance tried to sound reasonable. "Ms. Patel, this chunk of assets is a drop in the ocean for you. Your family's main holdings are in the Capital, and that's where the real action will be. Giving me a third of Calonia won't hurt you much."Emily's eyes narrowed. "And if I refuse?"Vance's smile turned sinister. "Debts must be paid. If you refuse, I can't guarantee your sister's safety."Emily's expression grew colder. "Are you threatening me?"Vance chuckled, half-serious, half-mocking. "Consider it a friendly warning. Of course, if you don't agree, there's another way. We can settle this by the rules of the martial world, but you'll have to bet your entire fortune.""The

    Gabriel shook his head. "The issue isn't with Tyler; it's Evelyn herself."If Evelyn remained stubborn, no amount of persuasion would help."Gabriel, it's just a woman, right? Plenty of fish in the sea, my friend. Why sweat over one?" Harold declared with booming confidence. "Once you're successful and wealthy, you can have your pick of the lot. I'll even introduce you to someone. But for now, let's talk business, shall we?"Gabriel turned to him, curious. "What business are you talking about?""Why, your Ginseng Essence Pill, of course!" Harold chuckled slyly. "I've tried it myself, and it's a miracle cure! Just one can fetch a fortune! Since you're short on ingredients, why not partner up with me?""You just provide the recipe, and I'll handle the rest. Once we make a profit, we'll split it fifty-fifty. How about it?"Gabriel smiled. "Sounds good, but if we partner up, you still have to get me those two rare herbs you promised. Otherwise, no deal."

    Tyler shook his head, "Everyone knows you guys are in cahoots. If you gang up to frame me, I'll never be able to clear my name."He put on a face of wounded innocence.Evelyn's face turned stern, "Gabriel, in front of everyone, if you don't have solid proof, you shouldn't go around making wild accusations!"From what Evelyn knew, Tyler wasn't the type to pull such dirty tricks.Being the mayor's son, how could he stoop so low?A wave of frustration surged through Gabriel as he felt belittled by his ex-wife once again. He frowned and retorted, "Someone saw it with their own eyes. What more evidence do you need? Would you rather believe him than me?""I..." Evelyn found herself at a loss for words.After all, Tyler was the epitome of a gentleman, with his noble status and flawless manners. How could he resort to such underhanded methods?Yet Gabriel's conviction was so strong, it was hard to believe he was lying.For a moment, she was unsur

    Emily kindly advised, "Anyway, you better keep an eye on this person, lest you find yourself in deep trouble.""Thanks for the warning," Gabriel nodded thoughtfully."Gabriel, you're so concerned about Evelyn. Are you hoping to rekindle an old flame?"Emily's expression suddenly turned with a touch of melancholy.Gabriel shook his head in denial, "I'm just reminiscing. I don't want her to get hurt, that's all. There's no lingering attachment.""Hmph, that's for the best!" Emily smirked with a commanding air, "Of course, if you do have unfinished business and can't let go, I wouldn't mind a public showdown. No one can take away the man I've set my sights on!"With that, she lifted her chin defiantly, wearing a look that said, "I've got you in the palm of my hand."Meanwhile, in another private room of the restaurant, Claire and her group were engrossed in tearing Gabriel apart.Dominic was grumbling with indignation, "Who would've thought that

    The manager let out a cold snort. "Don't even talk about being a Supreme VIP; not even God could do anything! He is the big boss of the Calonia Grand Eatery!"The entire scene fell silent."What? The big boss?" Everyone was stunned, unable to process what was happening."Are you joking? How could this guy possibly be the big boss?" Claire looked just as incredulous.The manager glared at Gabriel, a mix of anger and fear in his expression. "How is it impossible? You blind fool! I've never seen anyone so arrogant, trying to take over here!"Earlier in the private room, he had clearly seen that the former owner, Edward, had transferred the entire Calonia Grand Hotel to Gabriel, and they had signed an agreement.Dominic's face was full of shock. "No, impossible! This guy has nothing; where would he get the money to run a restaurant?"Gabriel spoke calmly. "Where I got my money is not your concern. You just need to know that this restaurant is now mine,
