This request was highly insulting.Since the Lorimer family was a prominent household in Cromford, if they all knelt to the Byrne family, even if the marriage alliance succeeded, their reputation outside would be tarnished.However, with Patrick's anger raging, the Lorimers had no choice."Kneel!" Seeing the hesitation among the Lorimer family members, Nora barked out an order.Luke and Faye's legs went weak, and they knelt down with a thud. With these two leading the way, the rest of the Lorimer family members followed.Seeing Nora still standing, Patrick gave her a cold sidelong glance. "You too!"Nora's face turned red, and her lips twitched. She wanted to say something but ultimately swallowed her words.As she was about to kneel, a loud voice came from outside, "You can't kneel!"The newcomer was Marcus, accompanied by Brenda and Emily."Grandma, at your age, don't you find it shameful kneeling to someone much younger?" Marcus asked.Nora blushed upon hearing his words

Under the attack of the fearsome soldiers of the Savage Legion, the Ivory Stallions were left dumbfounded. Many of their horses were frightened, causing some of the riders to fall to the ground, creating an awkward scene."Attention!" A voice rang out from the Savage Legion.One thousand soldiers promptly put away their guns and formed two columns to create a pathway. Denzel walked out."Greetings, officer!" Seeing the officer with a star on his shoulder, Eugene greeted him with a friendly smile. "Apologies for the disturbance, but it's just a private dispute among us civilians.""What's going on here?" Denzel shot a sidelong glance at Patrick, his tone laced with sarcasm. "With this large crowd, I presume you're not here to host a friendly gathering, are you?""No, no, no!" Patrick hastily shook his head. "Officer, it's just a personal conflict that needs to be resolved.""Personal conflict with the need for warhorses?" Denzel sneered. "You are not a military unit, yet you k

The purpose of the comprehensive examination was to avoid arousing the suspicions of Vivian. Vivian was unaware that the main objective of this examination was to determine whether she was pregnant.After approximately an hour, the test results were ready.Upon learning that Vivian was not pregnant, Luke's lips curled slightly, and he said with a smile, "Alright, Vivian, you can go in and visit Grandma now!"Both Luke and Nora played their roles thoroughly. They even arranged for Nora to stay in a hospital room, using their established connections within the hospital. After all, Grandma was elderly, and her frail health could justify such a precautionary measure."Grandma, are you feeling unwell?" Vivian asked with concern as she entered the hospital room and saw Nora in a patient's gown."I'm fine," she replied. "It's just a common cold. But Luke insisted on having me admitted, saying that I'm getting old and even minor illnesses should be taken seriously.""I think Luke did

"How much?" both Seamus and Tucker asked in unison. After all, recruiting a former national war hero must come with a hefty price tag."Hehe!" Tucker wore a smug expression and extended five fingers, saying, "This much!""Five million?" Seamus tentatively asked. As Tansili's God of War, he must be worth at least five million, right?Seeing Tucker shaking his head with a smile, Seamus grew puzzled. "It can't be five billion, can it?""Congratulations, you guessed it right!" Tucker chuckled. "It's indeed five billion.""Wow!" Seamus and Cassius both gasped. Paying five billion annually for Tansili's God of War was a staggering amount. Tucker not only had a formidable team of martial artists but also far surpassed the economic power of both Seamus and Cassius.They realized that competing with Tucker for dominance in the underworld of Prudence County seemed almost impossible. However, with the Tansili's God of War at their side, they had nothing to fear from the head of se

Just then, Tucker, Seamus, and Cassius realized the same thing at once. They thought, "How could Zenith Jahn vanish into thin air after dominating the capital for so many years?"Moreover, Zayclon Corporation had tremendous power and was as capable as Zenith's empire. They even collaborated with Grand Maester Durst from Marie Isla, but they were defeated as well! How could Northfort's Phisteele Corporation destroy the capital's strongest two forces without strong backing from someone else?" Alas, Tucker, Seamus, and Cassius didn't expect the person leading the Pantheon of the Drakon to be behind this!If they attempted to challenge him, they would suffer disastrous consequences. "Alright!" Marcus replied with a smile. "Since the three of you have taken a stand in this issue, you must accept my command. All of you must ensure that the capital's underworld remains peaceful.""Yes sir!" Tucker, Seasmus, and Cassius agreed simultaneously. Then, Marcus began thinking deeply. He t
