Richard barely managed to gather his wits, still frightened: "Mr. Jake, this territory is the Connor family's asset, we can't stop the news from spreading. If Clitus dies, the Connor family will seek revenge at all costs!" "I want to use his blood to dye a flag for you." Theophilus coldly replied: "If Clitus doesn't die, how can you control Elysian Echo in the future? Then, other major cities like Radiant Harbor, Zenith Vista,... I said I would lift you to the most powerful seat in Empyria, did you think I was joking? If the Connor family resists, I'll use the entire Connor family as a sacrifice to the flag." Theophilus spoke calmly, but his calm voice hid storms, blood rain, and a fierce wind... A few of Clitus's men by the dock were so terrified that they sat motionless in the SUV, not daring to get out. Richard's entire body trembled with excitement, staring dumbfounded at Theophilus, partly in disbelief. "Thank you for saving my life, Mr. Jake! Whatever task Mr. Jake entrusts

Hanging up the phone, Theophilus walked to the balcony, welcoming the cold wind, looking at the high-rise buildings and the twinkling lights of the bustling streets, lighting a cigarette. He was determined to pry information out of Gwyn. Not only intelligence but also to know about the people and hidden dangers arranged in Elysian Echo, and then deal with them cleanly. If Gwyn's group was eliminated here, the Lee family, though not suspecting him, would surely continue to send people to Elysian Echo to investigate the situation. It would be impossible not to know that the assassin organization had been wiped out. This was also why Theophilus wanted Richard to quickly unify the underworld – to have a sufficient underground network. This way, when the Lee family sent people to Elysian Echo City, he would easily detect any traces. At the very least, it would provide a first line of defense. Moreover, he had arranged for Richard to secure Elysian Echo City first and then collaborate wi

"Theophilus! I heard you dared to bring a woman from outside to the Miller's house? And even dared to hit your mother-in-law?" At this moment, Layla Miller strode over, furiously advancing towards Theophilus. Layla, haughty and self-important, coldly looked at Theophilus with a scornful air. "Quite the nerve! To harass people right at the old doorstep of the Miller's house. Today, not only will you be kicked out of the Miller's house, but I also want that wild woman to kneel and apologize at the door!" "Theophilus, did you hear that? Dulcie's aunt will help me vent my anger, you and your loose woman won't have an easy time!" Ariel sneered, seeing Layla as her support. Layla smirked, saying: "Of course, my dear sister-in-law, your status is different now. Once we deal with this properly, Dulcie will also be regarded as part of the prestigious Jones family. I will take more care of her future in the Jones family." "This also depends on the efforts of my second sister-in-law." Ariel

At this time, Ariel and her husband were dumbfounded, not expecting that the vulgar woman they had scolded earlier was the eldest daughter of the Jones family. For this matter, even Layla's face had been swollen from being hit! “Young mistress Jones, I'm sorry, I mistook you for someone else earlier! Please don't mind those words, they were just nonsense." Ariel hastily apologized to Pandora. She feared that Pandora might now come after her for retribution, with even Layla's face swollen from being hit, and both the eldest and third sons having to bow their heads. What would she do if Pandora decided to trouble her family? Pandora remained silent, glancing at Theophilus. Even if she was still angry, she would give Theophilus enough face. “Theophilus, why are you standing there stunned? If you're acquainted with Miss Jones, speak up for me!” Ariel urged: "Your status is still as our son-in-law! Having no conscience like this, you won't even say a word for us?” Theophilus thought, s

More than twenty minutes later. Theophilus arrived at Flowers On The Prairie. Outside Theophilus's house at Flowers On The Prairie. Anselm and his wife were happily chatting with a young man downstairs. Maynard, dressed in a strikingly dark red suit, held a beautiful bouquet of blue roses. "Hello uncle and aunt, could you please ask Dulcie to come down for a chat? I was thinking of inviting her for dinner tonight." Maynard said with a smile. "These are some small gifts for both of you." With that, Maynard handed over two gift boxes to Ariel and her husband. Ariel calmly opened the boxes, her eyes lighting up with excitement. Inside each box were stacks of bright cash, at least two hundred thousand in total! Ariel marveled inwardly, not in vain was he the eldest son of the Jones family, so understanding and generous. He had already invested so much in Dulcie without even officially courting her, far better than that useless Theophilus! "Oh, Young Master Jones, you are too kin
