Eleanor and the others left, and the tension within the Camron family finally began to ease. Matteo and the rest observed Scarlet, who maintained an impassive expression, feeling uneasy.While they were grateful for Scarlet's intervention, they couldn't quite fathom why she chose to help. In the eyes of the Camron family, who felt like mere ants compared to the towering giants of the Spanner family, they couldn't fathom why anyone would be concerned about them.Then, Scarlet offered a straightforward explanation. "Don't overthink it. I helped you all because of Dustin.""Dustin?" The Camron family's attention shifted to Dustin, their faces reflecting surprise and suspicion. Initially, Dustin was perceived as having no influence or background, merely a bold martial artist. But now, it seemed there was more to Dustin than they thought. If someone like Scarlet was willing to help him, then perhaps he wasn't as insignificant as they had presumed.In the face of everyone's surpris
Scarlet nodded. "Seamus has plenty of adopted sons and daughters. Losing one or two won't bother him. I'll handle it personally. If they put up a fight, we're not afraid to go to war."She never accepted Anders to be called the God of War. If there were an opportunity, she'd be more than willing to have a showdown to prove who was truly stronger."And those two big-shot families, the Welch and Forrest families, acting all high and mighty. They really need a reality check," Dustin remarked casually."That's easy. Just dig up their family's dark history, expose them, and send them to prison. No need for elaborate plans," she replied.For the Spanner family, it was easy to take down the Welch and Forrest family. There was no need for intricate schemes. A simple command could make them pay for what they had done.This stark difference between the great families and ancient houses showcased the hierarchy. Even though the great families were incredibly wealthy, their riches and status
The sudden, furious outburst left Elena in shock. Holding the phone, she looked bewildered and asked, "Dad, what's happening? Is something wrong back home?"Her father's voice roared from the other end, "You got the nerve to ask? It's all because of the mess you've stirred up!"Just now, the authorities sent in a bunch of troops. They not only locked down all our assets but also arrested most of our key members! "Now, the entire Forrest family is on the edge. If this keeps up, I might even end up behind bars!""What? How could this happen? Our family business is thriving, and we have extensive connections. Who could seize our family assets?" Elena widened her eyes in disbelief. The Forrest family business had been thriving. With the extensive network connections, any issues could usually be resolved easily. It never escalated into such a dire situation."What the heck have you done? Do you have any idea what's going on? Someone is dead set on putting you behind bars. "You t
Eleanor had never imagined that the Welch family would be in such dire straits. With her parents desperately fleeing for their lives and the family teetering on the precipice of bankruptcy, the once-mighty great family had crumbled overnight.This sudden and shocking downfall marked the end of her life of luxury and the days of carefree extravagance."Eleanor, is your family possibly going through a similar ordeal?" Elena cautiously asked."Just like you, authorities raided our home," Eleanor replied, her expression grim, beads of sweat forming on her forehead."My family is in trouble, and your family is being raided, too. Is this really just a coincidence?" Elena furrowed her brow.Overnight, two prominent families were targeted simultaneously. It was clearly a sabotage. But who could wield such immense power? "Looks like someone from the four ancient houses is pulling the strings." Eleanor mused."Are you suggesting ... the Spanner family?" Elena quickly made the connectio
"A chance? How?" Elena perked up instantly. With disaster looming for both their families, who else could save them? "The Spanners may be powerful, but they don't have absolute control. Also, the Moseys are still the most powerful among the four ancient houses."Eleanor said seriously, "Don't forget that Dustin killed Scott. Even if the Spanners back him up, the Moseys won't just let him get away with it. "That is why we can work with the Moseys to turn the tables on Dustin. We won't only protect ourselves that way, but we can also exact revenge. It'll be a win-win situation!""You're right, that's a great idea!" Elena lit up. Why hadn't she thought of it earlier? Despite pressure from the Spanners, there might still be a chance for them with the Moseys' support. "Eleanor, I'll call Dahlia immediately and ask her to find a way to help us through this crisis." Elena picked up her phone and was about to make the call when Eleanor stopped her. "Wait! Calling Dahlia may not h
"Don't worry, I won't die for now. Considering the gravity of the situation, I won't be able to rest well anyway. If I visit while in a wheelchair, I'll also appear more sincere," Elena said. "Alright then, let's pay a visit to Jadeleaf Manor." Eleanor didn't delay and quickly had someone bring a wheelchair over. After helping Elena into it, they got in the car and headed straight for Jadeleaf Manor. … It was late at night. Anders was at Jadeleaf Manor. He was in his study, poring over some documents in his hands with a serious expression.Ever since Dustin created a scene at Jadeleaf Manor earlier in the day, he had mobilized all available resources to investigate him secretly.After several hours of effort, he finally got his hands on some information. It was revealed that Dustin was originally from Swinton and had a prior marriage with Dahlia. Initially, Dustin was just an ordinary individual with a basic knowledge of medicine. However, after his divorce, he transformed
"Logan Rhys?" The confidant's eyes widened in disbelief. "That's impossible. Wasn't he reported dead?""He just disappeared. That doesn't necessarily mean he's dead. At least we haven't found a complete body so far," Anders said solemnly. Ten years ago, the chaos happened suddenly and ended abruptly. After that night, Logan, who had all eyes on him, mysteriously disappeared. The only thing the authorities found was a charred body that they suspected to be him. However, the body was so badly burnt that it was impossible to identify. Due to the official announcement, many people came to believe that the body was indeed his. Only the sharp individuals were skeptical, as there were inconsistencies and uncertainties surrounding this issue. However, people gradually accepted this outcome as time passed without any news of Logan. It only came to his mind because he found a striking resemblance between Dustin and Logan. Not only were they both young and exceptionally talented,
"My Lord, they claim that they can help you deal with Scott's murderer and hope that you'll meet them," the guard said. "Oh, is that so?" Anders raised an eyebrow. After considering it briefly, he nodded. "Very well, let them in.""Understood." the guard acknowledged and promptly left.Soon, Eleanor and Elena were brought into the room. Eleanor appeared relatively fine, only her cheeks were slightly red. On the other hand, Elena appeared pale and disheveled. She struggled to move in her wheelchair and coughed occasionally. She looked especially weak. "Greetings, Sir Anders!" Eleanor bowed immediately upon seeing Anders. Elena struggled to get up from her wheelchair but was stopped by Anders. "All right, that's unnecessary. Please, both of you, straighten up.""Thank you, Sir Anders." Eleanor stood up straight and lowered her gaze, maintaining a respectful demeanor.Elena, on the other hand, couldn't help but steal glances at Anders from time to time, her heart racing. H
