Nicholas had already rejoined the party earlier, surrounded by people offering their regards and attention.
"Everyone... I have urgent matters to attend to, so I must take my leave." Nicholas felt he had already obtained what he needed.

Chapter 131: Heading North
At that very moment, the sound of engines rumbled from outside. It was clearly a convoy—about six or seven vehicles in total. It seemed the delay in their arrival was due to the extensive preparations they had been making."Boss Dragon, let me go out there and teach them a lesson."Hubert Malory had long been dissatisfied with the members of the mysterious family; he was currently the most eager to crush them."Stay calm. Michael, go receive our guests."Duncan chuckled, remaining seated in his room. Meanwhile, Luca and Michael quickly made their way to the grand briefing room. The subordinates soon escorted Nicholas and Sir Samuel inside."Well, look at that... the 'War God' himself. We are honored by your visit, Sir."
Chapter 130 - Arrogance
Looking around, Anna Templeton knew she was in a hospital, but clearly, when she had lost consciousness, she was still in that filthy room."Someone called me. When I arrived, you were already at a hospital in City Neon. I quickly and quietly moved you back North to this private hospital."Marianne Jamieson looked at her daughter, her heart breaking. "How could you..." She broke into tears, unable to ask further.Recalling the scene of being tormented and humiliated like a dog the night before, Anna was terrified. She was utterly paralyzed with fear.Was that General a pervert? Or was his mind twisted? Why had he treated her like that?"I... Mother... hmph..." But she couldn't find the words. She remembered every bout of tort
Chapter 129 - Compelled
Watching the look Duncan shot his way, Carlo was struck by a very bad premonition. He realized that Michael, who was usually not this talkative, was currently driving people into a corner with his silver tongue. It seemed he would need to have a word with Michael after the party.Meanwhile, Nicholas also felt himself paling in comparison to the man standing before him."Sir Royce, is it? The title of General is not just an empty name. Let us schedule a meeting for the near future," Nicholas said, looking for an excuse.Duncan knew they wouldn't dare accept Michael’s invitation. To accept was to walk straight into a trap. But he intended to force them into it anyway."Is it business, or is it fear?" Luca spoke up, his gaze piercing through Nicholas.
Chapter 128 - Non-stop Verbal Battle
Despite his resentment, Ryan MacCoinnich could only remain silent. He finally realized that while Duncan might not have a formal title, he was acquainted with those who did.Ryan felt as if he had been blind. Recalling the shooting incident from the other day, had he known the identity of his opponent then, he would have undoubtedly brought gifts to apologize."Well now... the one who acts is the one who bears the consequences. Wouldn't you agree?""If you want me to let this go, that's fine. Have this MacCoinnich young master here apologize to me."Michael tilted his chin up arrogantly, wanting these people to understand what it felt like to be crushed by someone else.James MacCoinnich frowned at Michael, then at Ryan. He h

It seemed all attention had shifted toward Luca and Michael, completely forgetting that the purpose of tonight’s party was for Nicholas."Young Master Vaughn, it’s been a long time. Have you forgotten me?" Luca asked, still maintaining his impressive aura.He stepped inside with confidence, greeting everyone politely, while Michael stood beside him, adopting the posture of a superior looking down upon his subjects."Luca, what are you saying? You disappeared so suddenly; I was too worried to even think about forgetting you."Jake Vaughn quickly flashed his standard smile."Allow me to make an introduction.""This is Sir Royce. My recent disappearance was due to working
Chapter 126 - The War of the Impostors
"As you can see. I'm fine."Edward could only avoid the question, trying his best to limit his interaction with Duncan. He knew both James and Ryan MacCoinnich disliked Duncan. Although he didn't understand the reason why Duncan was able to walk alongside Carlo, he had a premonition that Duncan might not be as simple as he had previously thought."Hmph, so you're acquaintances. Figures. Edward over here certainly knows how to find a 'good spot' to perch. But you? Tsk tsk...""Edward, look closely. Is the MacCoinnich family better, or is this guy? Take a good look."James looked at Duncan with contempt before glancing at Edward. He wanted to prove just how valuable he and the MacCoinnich family were, and that even if Duncan walked beside Carlo, he would never truly be som
