The guards, witnessing this, were dumbstruck to the point of voicelessness."Lord, Mr. Wright!"Steve stood frozen.His old friend, the invincible Mr. Wright, was taken down so effortlessly?Mr. Wright lay several meters away, his once fervent eyes now consumed by infinite terror.But just then..."Alert! Chief Steward Phillips approaches!"A loud cry rang out."Whirring, whirring."The loud noise of helicopter blades resonated.Numerous large jeeps abruptly halted outside the house.Steve suddenly jolted: "General, General Phillips."In the main hall of the Byner residence, a slender, delicate man dressed in a formal black vest swiftly entered.Noticing that Mr. Wright was unreliable, Steve quickly approached the man and greeted: "General Phillips."General Phillips respectfully said to Steve: "Mr. Byner, I heard that someone attacked the Byner residence last night?""I have brought a team of three hundred people. We will definitely eliminate the criminals for the Byner family."Nume
Aaron, his mouth still gagged, frantically struggled at the mention of execution. Steve looked like he'd seen a ghost, muttering in disbelief: "No... it can't be..."Suddenly, with a mixture of desperation and madness, he managed to draw a concealed gun: "Even in death, I'll drag you down with me." he growled, aiming at Ethan.BANG!The onlookers gasped, many nearly choked in shock. Steve Byner, the patriarch, had gone mad, daring to shoot at the general.Yet, even before Steve could pull the trigger, Ethan had seen it. With graceful agility, he dodged the bullet. Immediately, three consecutive shots rang out from the distance - a sniper's precision. Steve, the deranged assailant, lay lifeless in an instant."All the rest will be detained and, after trial, executed." Ethan declared coldly. He left the room with the cement bag, disappearing into the night breeze, with Samuel and Savannah trailing behind. A battalion of over a thousand followed in formation.They moved to the ancestral
On this day, a unique rendezvous was set between Samuel and Ethan. Ethan had imagined some pressing matter to be discussed, but to his surprise, Samuel was accompanied by a dog strikingly resembling Rowan. "Great Emperor," Ethan began with an intrigued tone. "Who might this be?" Samuel, with a mischievous twinkle in his eye, answered, "In truth, this canine shares blood with Rowan. They're twin brothers. Meet Caradoc, the younger sibling." "When you once asked me to bring a hunting dog, I was at sixes and sevens on whom exactly to present. And now that Rowan is no more... Perhaps, this is destiny's bidding. Would you care to take him home?" Samuel's voice softened with an underlying melancholy. Ethan was taken aback by this revelation. Upon bringing Caradoc home, the little lass's astonishment was palpable. Though aware of Rowan's demise, she was momentarily staggered by the uncanny resemblance of this new companion. Subsequently, Ethan escorted her to Rowan's grave. She tenderly
Basil ardently desired to liberate his daughter from her current shackles as swiftly as the winds of destiny could carry. The urgency to finalize the divorce was palpable.Thus, only then could he genuinely entrust her to Ethan's care.Philip, with haste in his voice, proclaimed: "All is prepared, all is ready! Whenever the time is right, just signal to me.""I stand prepared to join you in the prison at any moment to sign the divorce papers with my son-in-law." he continued, determination evident in his words.Scarlet and Amanda, like two souls awakening from a dense fog, slowly absorbed the gravity of it all, realizing that these events were no mere illusions.Ethan, it appeared, was not merely full of empty words – he was sincere.Given this revelation, they would no longer remain in bewildered inaction.Scarlet, exhaling a sigh of relief, jubilantly voiced: "Indeed, kindred spirits always find each other. I believe you should divorce forthwith, and then wed Ethan."Deep within, Lo
This way, the Londyn Corporation would never step foot into the All Sea market and challenge their piece of the pie.The fledgling company would be forever trapped within the confines of New Single, never taking even half a step out.Of course, there would always be those who would dangle the olive branch, claiming that a collaboration would grant them entry into the All Sea market.Upon grasping the full situation, the Londyn sisters, Amanda, and Scarlet clenched their fists until they were white, gritting their teeth in anger."What... What do we do now?" a junior executive finally voiced the collective anxiety permeating the room.The entire company was awash in a palpable tension and uncertainty.If this continued, their young enterprise would undoubtedly suffer a catastrophic blow.With a resounding slam on the table, Londyn decided to take the bull by the horns.Her eyes held unwavering determination: "We have no way out now.""I will personally go to All Sea and negotiate a col
Yet, for Aldo, this rare opportunity had presented itself, and he felt overwhelmingly fortunate."Your Highness."Savannah suddenly spoke."In the future at All Sea, should you need anything, you may relay your wishes through Aldo."Aldo, eh?Hearing Savannah address him in such a manner, Aldo's eyes twitched subtly. Although he was uncertain of the exact status of this young woman,She was a confidante of the emperor. Regardless of whether she called him Aldo or even derided him as 'little Aldo', he wouldn't dare object."It is indeed my honor, Your Majesty, to be of service to you." Aldo hurriedly seized the opportunity to flatter.However, Ethan nonchalantly remarked: "Head Collins, shouldn't you be presiding over the opening of the All Sea Trade Convention today?"Stunned, Aldo promptly replied: "That was indeed my initial plan, but compared to you, letting Chairman Abram Kyle host the opening isn't an issue.""Moreover, aren't you also planning to attend the convention? Allow me
Within a mere two minutes, the resounding clatter of Victoria's high heels announced her entrance, accompanied by a benign-looking gentleman donning spectacles.Upon entering, Victoria's brow furrowed subtly.Why ever did they meddle with this lot?These young elites wielded formidable influence within All Sea, and she was all too aware of the ensuing complexities."Londyn, allow me to introduce Director Walter. Should you desire a partnership in All Sea, you may—"Yet, before her utterance could find completion, Isaac's hand struck the table, interrupting her: "Pray tell, Miss Victoria, to what end is this?"Toby chimed in with discernible displeasure: "We are in the midst of discussing a potential partnership with the captivating Edwards heiress, are we not?""Have you summoned this man to usurp our business dealings?""Do you even dare to disregard the esteemed presence of our young master Nelson?"Left with scant options, Victoria conceded: "Then, you may proceed. If we find no ac
Londyn couldn't help but bite her lush, crimson lips. This man was simply irredeemable, forever causing worry.However, he had entered, and the three of them had no choice but to grit their teeth and follow.Ethan, with an air of casual elegance, settled himself on the sofa and softly inquired of the ladies: "How have your negotiations been progressing? Any positive strides?"The three women all furrowed their brows, with Scarlet even shooting a disdainful glance at the opposite party, declaring vehemently: "Not favorable!"Ethan probed further: "What have they demanded?"Toby, cutting him off, threw Ethan a mocking smirk: "Ha! Who do you think you are? What we demand or discuss has nothing to do with you, does it?"Londyn retorted: "He's also an employee of our company!""You mean, he's just another vagabond from New Single?"Austin, suddenly sitting upright, looked at Ethan with unmistakable contempt and haughtily proclaimed: "Just so you understand, whatever little influence you ho
