"As expected, someone has already taken Sir Samuel back to the East."
"Has Hubert Malory left for the East yet?" Duncan asked.
"He’s already on his way," Carlo replied.
Duncan fell into deep thought. He had a ling

Chapter 145: Those Odious People
Liam MacCoinnich had always been a man who was all bark and no bite, so when he was overwhelmed, he quickly complied."Are you certain?"Duncan maintained his nonchalant demeanor, looking at Anthony MacCoinnich with a provocative gaze."Call him. Now."Anthony was infuriated by the provocation. This was a direct challenge to his authority. Even if the MacCoinnich family was not what it used to be, it was not the place of some arrogant upstart to come here and cause trouble."Hello, Mr. Jamieson? The MacCoinnich elder wishes to see you."On the other end of the line, Enoch Jamieson frowned slightly and rubbed his temples upon hearing the name of the MacCoinnich family. He knew that
Chapter 144: Taking Her Away
Duncan looked at the crowd, then at Michael, before turning back to Aunt Sophia with a smile."Aunt Sophia, if they agree, you’ll come with me, won't you?"Hearing this, Aunt Sophia lowered her head in thought. She glanced around the MacCoinnich family residence one last time and nodded, signaling her consent.Receiving a look from Duncan, Michael quickly turned his gaze toward the elder."I’m taking her with me. I trust no one has an objection?"His voice rose and fell with a steady rhythm, carrying a subtle, domineering edge. It was as if he were telling them that if they didn't agree, he would simply take her by force."I suppose the MacCoinnich young master’s
Chapter 143: Still Using Each Other
Duncan looked at the group of people, his expression devoid of emotion. They were so highly respected by others, yet look at their behavior.An elderly woman was kneeling on shards of glass, weeping and pleading; surely everyone in the MacCoinnich family knew of her circumstances. It was simply that they placed themselves on such a high pedestal that they didn't care to notice."Duncan, Sir Royce hasn't even sat down yet. How can you have the audacity to sit?"Liam MacCoinnich was looking for a fault to criticize; he was always like this. He possessed no actual talent but loved to nitpick others. It seemed to be his primary source of joy."It's none of your business," Michael snapped, looking at him with disdain. "Whether he wants to stand or sit, do you really need to b
Chapter 142: Out of the Frying Pan, Into the Fire
Nicholas was consumed by a visceral terror. He loathed this nauseating sensation; at this moment, he was willing to trade anything just to escape."Speak up..."The men chuckled, prompting him to continue."I have money—a lot of it. Whatever that person is paying you, I'll pay ten times more. Just... let me go," Nicholas pleaded, his voice ragged as he gasped for air."No can do. Before he left, that gentleman gave us strict orders. No matter how much his 'little brother' offered, he would match it ten times over.""We’ve been rolling around with you for a few days now, 'little brother,' so I’ll give you a friendly heads-up: no matter your price, the other side will decuple it. The money hits our accounts th
Chapter 141: Anna Templeton Returns
Carlo rushed in to report the situation regarding Sir Samuel."As expected, someone has already taken Sir Samuel back to the East.""Has Hubert Malory left for the East yet?" Duncan asked."He’s already on his way," Carlo replied.Duncan fell into deep thought. He had a lingering sense of foreboding, though he couldn't quite put his finger on it."Keep a close watch on the three families. Also... City Neon must not be left out of our calculations.""Contact our contacts at Cloud-Mist Mountain and see if anything is happening there," he added before departing.Carlo and Michael exchanged a look, sensing that Duncan was acting rath
Chapter 140: Only in a Moment
Jake Vaughn quickly returned to the Vaughn family estate. His primary concern at the moment wasn't visiting Anna Templeton, but rather why their confidence votes had fallen behind those of the Templeton family.Not to mention, Anna Templeton had somehow been inducted into the Cabinet, while he had seen no movement regarding his own prospects.What did this signify?If he married Anna Templeton in the future, he would likely have to live in her shadow."Father, what happened with the confidence votes?" Jake Vaughn demanded to know."And there's the MacCoinnich family too... Didn't you say the General was the one who could influence things? Well, look at us now. It turns out the person from that mysterious family was the one wi
