Chapter 072
In the heavy, oppressive silence that smothered the North Club, Ethan Smith remained an island of tranquility. He didn't even acknowledge the frantic, high-pitched jeering of Louis Clifford. His attention was focused entirely on his sister, Alice Smiths, who had moved with the clinical grace of a seasoned battlefield surgeon.With a flick of her wrist, several silver needles glinted in the neon light, sinking into the area around Adam Somner's heart. She was using a sophisticated technique to shield his cardiac vessels and central nervous system from the shock of his shattered bones. After administering a small, translucent pill into the unconscious man's mouth, she stepped back, her expression cold and professional."Get him to a secure medical facility," Alice commanded Sydney Harvey, her voice brooking no argument. "He must not engage in any physical exertion for at least a month, or his internal energy will collapse entirely, leaving him a permanent cripple. Consider h
Chapter 071
The atmosphere surrounding the North Club was thick with the copper scent of fresh blood and the oppressive, chilling weight of a Supreme Master's aura. Adam Somner, the formidable protector of the Harvey family, lay broken in the dirt. He had been defeated with a humiliating lack of effort—two moves were all it took for Pete Chiappetta to shatter the veteran's bones and his spirit. It was a brutal demonstration that in the world of high-level martial arts, wealth and local influence were meaningless compared to the raw power of a man who could let out the ultimate trick.Juandi Anderson, gripping his iron staff until his knuckles turned white, stood rooted to the spot. He had fought in the trenches of the Veridian underworld for decades, but he had never encountered a monster like this."Governor," Juandi whispered, his voice tight with a fear he couldn't mask, "we are out of our depth. This is no longer a corporate takeover. This is a slaughter. If we don't bring E
Chapter 070
The heavy oak doors of the Clifford study were sealed tight, but they could not dampen the crackling energy of anticipation vibrating within. Louis Clifford stood by the window, his fingers drumming a frantic rhythm against a crystal decanter of scotch. For the first time in weeks, the oppressive weight on his chest had lifted, replaced by a cold, predatory glee."He is here," Louis whispered, his eyes fixed on the security monitors. "The Hall of Darknight has answered. Carlos, our salvation has arrived."Carlos Millmore, the head of the Millmore family, sat slumped in a leather armchair, looking like a man who had aged a decade in a single week. His family's liquidity had been drained by 30% thanks to the relentless pincer movement of the Sherock family and the Hayes family. "A Supreme Master? You're certain, Louis? If this fails, there will be no corner of Solinar where we can hide from Ethan Smith.""Fail?" Louis let out a jagged laugh. "The headquarters doesn't se

"Louis Clifford, your days of decadence and arrogance are numbered," Ethan Smith declared, his voice cutting through the tension like a winter chill. "I suggest you take a long, hard look at your home while you still have the keys. It won't be yours much longer."With Travis Clifford securely in the custody of Governor Chris Stinson and the Eagleeye Department, the immediate threat had been neutralized. The air in the West District seemed to clear as the heavy police presence began to dissipate, leaving the Clifford patriarch standing alone in his foyer, fuming with a silent, murderous rage. Ethan didn't wait for a response; he turned on his heel and escorted his sister back to the sanctuary of the Azure Villa.Upon their arrival, Iris Smith rushed to the door, her eyes brimming with tears of relief. The ordeal of the past few hours had aged her years in spirit, if not in appearance. She immediately pulled Ethan into a fierce embrace, her hands trembling as she smoothed hi
Chapter 068
Ron Sherock's gaze lingered on Ethan Smith with a mixture of reverence and strategic calculation. As the patriarch of one of the rising powers in Veridian, he knew when to push and when to defer. He signaled to his daughter, his voice carrying the weight of a man who had just secured his family's future for the next half-century."Jessica," Ron commanded softly, "escort Master Smith and the Doctor to their destination. Ensure they receive the full hospitality of the Sherock family."Beside Ethan, Alice Smiths stiffened almost imperceptibly. As the seventh of the seven sisters, her protective instincts regarding her brother were legendary. In her eyes, Ethan was a treasure that the sisters could barely stand to share amongst themselves, let alone with an outsider—especially one as predatory and polished as Jessica Sherock. She hadn't missed the way Ethan's eyes had briefly, perhaps instinctively, noted the poise and sharp elegance of Jessica's legs during the car ride
Chapter 067
The mention of the name Mario Sherock acted like a master key, unlocking a specific file in Ethan Smith's vast mental archive of global power dynamics. Within the Hall of Supreme, the Guard of the Earth—the seventy-two elite operatives who served as the foundation of the Supreme King's influence—were ranked with ruthless objectivity based on combat prowess and strategic utility. Mario Sherock held the fortieth seat, a position of significant respect that placed him, at least historically, above Catherine Jones.However, Ethan noted with a flicker of pride that since Catherine had breached the threshold of a Grand Master, the gap between her and the veterans like Mario had effectively vanished. It made perfect sense now; the sudden, aggressive pivot of the Sherock family toward the Mosaic Corporation wasn't mere market opportunism. It was an act of vassalage. Mario had recognized his true master's presence in Veridian and had issued an absolute mandate to his clan: p
