Lenora led Rebecca to her room, not far from Jack's room on the third floor. "Rest for a moment, dear! I'll prepare some food for you!"

As Lenora descended the stairs, in the living room she saw a man dressed in black with a black mask, none other than Rowan, waiting for her.

"Mrs. Calder, the situation is becoming increasingly uncontrollable! The Wigram family forces keep pressing to enter the villa!"

"What about that woman?"

"She's fine! But if our forces fall, there's no guarantee she'll survive! There's no other way, we need to send more people!"

Lenora shook her head. "No need! I don't want to deplete our resources for unnecessary warfare! I did this to repay my debt to Jack's family! Now that he's conscious and recovering, it's his responsibility to take care of his mother!"

"But are you sure this young man is tough enough to fight against such a large force?"

Lenora took a deep breath.

"To be honest, I'm not sure about that! Even though he's a Warrior, it's impossible t

    Jarred did as the man commanded. Raising both his hands up, he moved away from his weapon and knelt on the ground. After that, from the direction of the gate, dozens of soldiers dressed in thick black armor costumes were seen entering the courtyard. One, two, three, ... Jarred continued to count each of them one by one. In his estimation, their number was at least no less than a hundred men wearing the same costume. This suit of armor was an attribute typically used by the military. The steel helmets and armor they wore served the same basic function, which was to protect the wearer from various types of bullets. "Damn!" Jarred cursed inwardly. "They seem to be from the military! No wonder they were able to slaughter my people in a relatively short time!" Not only did their costumes look highly advanced, but the weapons they held in their hands were also equipped with green lasers that provided information to the user each time it locked onto a target. With these lasers, the sho

    Bang!The sound of a pistol echoed throughout the forest.Jarred, who had kept his eyes open the whole time, was slightly surprised when he realized he was still alive. The barrel of Napoleon's pistol aimed at his forehead didn't discharge a bullet at all. Instead, he saw the pistol suddenly slip from Napoleon's hand."Damn it!" cursed the scientist. Without having to think too much, he knew someone must be lurking around them. And since that person attacked him, it was certain they weren't on the Wigram family's side."Hey, whoever you are, show yourself now! Don't just dare to hide behind the trees! Come out or I'll hunt you down and tear your body apart!" Napoleon shouted.Not only the scientist and his soldiers, but Jarred also wondered. "Who is that? Who came to rescue me? Could it be... brother Rowan?"A few minutes earlier.Just after Napoleon and his soldiers left through the backyard, Jack arrived not far from the villa."Quantara, can you give an analysis of the enemy?""In

    Some soldiers heard commotion inside the warehouse, as if someone were rummaging around inside."Hey, check inside!" A junior sergeant ordered one of the soldiers standing closest to the warehouse to go in."Roger that, sir!"Although he wore a suit of armor on his body, it didn't entirely dispel his fear.He had checked the front yard and knew what had just happened to the mercenaries."He couldn't have done it alone if he weren't a Warrior!" he thought.The thought worried the soldier that his armor might not be enough to save him.As the soldier ventured deeper into the warehouse, he scanned his surroundings.Due to the dim conditions in the warehouse, he didn't find anything strange except for some rats seemingly searching for food."Reporting, sir!" The soldier used the walkie-talkie attached to his ear. "Warehouse is clear! Just some sounds from a few small animals!""Come back here!" came the response from the other end."Roger that, sir!"The soldier turned back and prepared t

    "Hey, all of you, don't just stand there! Quickly spread out and check the surroundings!" Napoleon shouted loudly. "Find and kill anyone you consider dangerous!""Alright, Sir!"Fifty soldiers following Napoleon consisted of five junior sergeants, each commanding nine soldiers."Brother, I'll head towards 3 o'clock!""I'll go towards 6 o'clock!""I'll patrol the area around 9 o'clock!""Let me check in the direction of 12 o'clock!"Forty soldiers dispersed in four different directions."Don't let your guard down! Watch every corner and report any suspicious movements!" The fifth sergeant commanded the remaining soldiers to guard around Napoleon."Why? Are you feeling fear creeping into every nerve in your body?" Jarred smirked cynically at Napoleon. Although he couldn't clearly see the scientist's expression behind his helmet, he was sure terror was now haunting him."Shut up, you idiot! You can breathe a little longer because I have to deal with this mysterious attacker first!""Oh n

    "Thank you, young master! My name is Jarred, Jarred Cohen! I will forever be indebted for what you have done for me!" Jarred bowed towards Jack. He could see that the young man was a good person, even though he didn't know who he was."No need to be too formal!" Jack smiled. "May I know where Matilda is?"Jarred was slightly surprised by the question. However, he couldn't simply trust someone he just met. "Should I tell him the truth?" Jarred wondered. "What if he's a Wigram?"As if sensing Jarred's hesitation, Jack spoke again. "You don't need to worry about who I am! I'm Mr. Calder's friend! You can verify my identity with him!"Jarred glanced briefly at Jack. He saw no hint of doubt there. "Alright, you can come with me!"Jarred led Jack to a wooden house by the lake.There, four people were on guard, holding long-barreled weapons."Brother Jarred!"Jarred just nodded slightly.Knock-knock!"Madam, are you inside? Someone wants to meet you!"After knocking on the door, Jarred stepp

    In a secluded area in Emerald Terrace.In contrast to the quiet atmosphere around it, the surroundings of Marquis Julien de Montclair's palace appeared bustling.The gate, usually closed, was now wide open, with several men in black suits standing guard in front of it, pistols hanging from their waists.From afar, a long line of cars could be seen, waiting to be verified by the guards.One by one, the cars passing through the gate were luxurious vehicles, with even the cheapest appearing to be in the range of five hundred thousand RG."Mr. Hayden," the guard said, looking to the passenger seat to confirm his identity.At the same time, other officers used sophisticated detectors to check the cars."All right, please proceed! Thank you for visiting our event!" The officer said politely.The queue proceeded orderly until it was Jack's turn for verification."Jack, do you want me to change your identity?" Quantara whispered in his ear."No need! Don't we have enough money to buy it!" Jac

    6:00 PM.Jack stood in the main courtyard of the palace once owned by the late Marquis Julien de Montclair. He was right in front of the building dominated by its white color. Currently, everyone was given an hour to wander around and see what the palace held."Look at that painting! It's Heinrich's famous work! For years, no one has been allowed to see this painting except for today!""Wow! Is that chandelier in this room made of gold? Why does it look so beautiful to my eyes? It fits perfectly with the overall color scheme of this room!""Is this a sculpture by Reinhorf? Oh my, it's truly meticulously carved! If I didn't see it firsthand, I wouldn't believe people saying that this sculpture is so lifelike!"These were the voices Jack heard every time he focused his gaze on each part of the palace. Not only could he hear them, but Jack could also clearly see the shapes and colors of each room's interior.Heinrich's painting in the art gallery room was treated differently from other p

    Everything was making sense to Jack now."Irvin deliberately organized this palace auction event to lure Jeremy out of Calder Manor!" murmured Jack.That's why the gatekeepers earlier prevented Jack from entering. It was because those who attended this event were not ordinary people. They were all invited guests who, of course, were either mafia members or people supporting Irvin.Not only that. "Irvin also invited people who support Mr. Calder so that he can kill them all at once!"Besides the mafia members, important people who had been supporting Jeremy, both covertly and overtly, also received invitations."This is a trap! This is a massacre!" muttered Jack. "They must be warned to leave this place immediately!"As Jack muttered, Quantara said in his ear, "It seems we're a little late, Jack! Try to look at the eight o'clock direction!"Jack directed his gaze to another room inside the palace as Quantara indicated.It was a very spacious private room equipped with luxurious furnitu

    Maartje stayed in a different room from the one she usually used before.This time, she was assigned one of the rooms on the third floor whose decoration and furniture had been completely changed. Not only wider than the room she used to occupy on the first floor, this room also looked more luxurious.The girl was sitting on the edge of the bed typing a message on a highly secure phone."I haven't seen my parents yet. Can you do something?"Shortly after, a reply landed on her phone."We're working on it, Lady! We'll check all satellite images and CCTV cameras."Maartje was almost certain that her parents had been moved from the palace. "I've checked every corner of this palace, but they're nowhere to be found!" she muttered.Earlier, before the female soldiers escorted Maartje to her room, the girl asked them to accompany her to explore the palace, which they said was being renovated.Those who had no suspicions about Maartje finally complied with the girl's wishes.However, there wa

    In Cornelia's mind, by marrying Maartje, Leon would not only gain a very beautiful girl."Haven't you remained unmarried all this time because you were searching for the most beautiful girl in Crystalbrook?" said the secretary. "That girl is now before you! So what else are you waiting for?""Furthermore, consider one more thing!" Cornelia continued. "Maartje is a symbol of resistance and at the same time a symbol of hope for the people of Crystalbrook. By marrying her, you will not only be able to force those who have opposed you all this time to support you! On the contrary, the possibility of people rebelling will diminish even more!"Upon hearing such considerations, Leon's eyes widened. So did his mouth. How could he miss such a great opportunity?Back to the present."I will not only make you my deputy governor, but you will also be my wife!" Leon said again, walking slowly towards Maartje proudly while holding a glass in one of his hands."Both of us will produce successors who

    Feeling disgusted by Leon's gaze towards her, Maartje quickly opened her mouth. "You shouldn't waste my time! I came here to sign the reconciliation letter!"Leon smiled widely. "My dear, why rush? We haven't met in a long time. Wouldn't it be appropriate for us to exchange a word or two first?"The man then ordered the female soldiers to leave."Alright, Duke!" they said and immediately left the room, closing the door behind them.As the female soldiers left, Maartje felt very uncomfortable being alone with Leon. However, she tried to control her feelings."Come, sit here!" Leon gestured for Maartje to sit on the sofa where he had been drinking earlier.Maartje quickly moved to the spot Leon indicated because she didn't want the man to try to touch her again."Here, take this!" Leon handed Maartje a glass of wine."I am good!" Maartje simply said without touching the glass offered to her."Do you know what I dislike most about someone?" Leon asked as he sipped the wine in his hand.M

    Thirty minutes later, the long sedan carrying Maartje arrived near the palace. Behind the sedan, a large jeep followed."This is truly terrifying!" One of the female soldiers inside the jeep couldn't contain her feelings upon seeing the sea of people surrounding the palace. "This is far more than what we faced before!" she murmured again.The female soldier used to be one of the Warriors who fought alongside Duke Dujardin to overthrow Leon.Back when they attacked this palace, Leon's forces weren't as numerous. But now, the situation was completely reversed."I really don't understand how Duke Sardou could gather such a massive army!" muttered the other female soldier, still focusing on her driving.The horror they both felt was also felt by Maartje inside the long sedan. "So many soldiers," she murmured. "There's no way I could fight them!"Anyone who saw the large group of blue-uniformed soldiers would shiver immediately.The sedan continued along the straight asphalt road that woul

    Chapter 123 - Returning to the Palace

    Since that day, Duke Dujardin secretly helped those who were struggling financially to pay their taxes. "My father secretly doubled the employees' salaries! The aim was for this bonus not to be counted for deduction from their wages! He also provided financial assistance to those in great need, also secretly!" thought Maartje, recalling her father's struggle at that time. As time passed, the number of people receiving assistance from Duke Dujardin grew steadily. And it didn't take long for the duke to gain recognition from the wider community. "Hundreds of Paragons fought on my father's side! They sacrificed their lives so that Leon could be acquitted!" she thought again. The result was ten years ago when the very fierce civil war was finally won by Duke Dujardin. As Maartje reminisced about her father's struggle at that time, a voice inside her seemed to echo in her ears. A voice urging her to keep fighting, no matter how strong the enemy and how impossible victory may seem. T

    Chapter 122 - Do It If You Truly Believe You Can Do It!

    It's been a common knowledge that although Leon and Duke Dujardin came from the same ancestors, their lines of luck differed. Duke Dujardin inherited thousands of hectares of land from his great-grandfather, a family wealth passed down through generations. It was all productive land cultivated with various vegetables, fruits, and even rare medicinal plants capable of generating billions of RG annually. That was just one aspect of the Dujardin family's wealth. Besides that, they also controlled several mining locations and significant real estate businesses. It could be said that the Dujardin family's hotels were almost scattered throughout the Eldoria kingdom. This was in stark contrast to Leon, or "The Unlucky Duke" as people called him. His grandfather was nearly bankrupt due to debts he couldn't bear. Meanwhile, his father became a fugitive after being found guilty of embezzling state funds. Leon, who was raised in a military education since childhood, lacked sufficient knowl

    How dark Duke Dujardin felt hearing their explanations. Especially when they said that hospitals and social houses no longer provided social services. If you're sick or hungry, but you have no money, then the government can't do anything for you. In other words, you have to endure your suffering on your own, and there's no one you can ask for help. "The government argues that it's the people's obligation to pay taxes to them. While they have no obligations to the people!" the supervisor said again. When the tax rules were first implemented, along with the elimination of social security rules, chaos erupted almost throughout the province of Crystalbrook. It could even be said that this province experienced turmoil like never before in its history. "However, the protests we've made never succeeded because anyone who opposes will immediately be shot! If not, they will be arrested and tortured or sent to the mines for forced labor!" Duke Dujardin clenched his mouth tightly while clen

    Chapter 120 - Exorbitant Taxes

    A month after Duke Dujardin lived in his luxurious manor in Emberfield, he was approached by a group of people who worked on his estate. "Duke Dujardin, forgive us!" The group of no more than ten people then immediately fell to their knees before the duke. "The police threatened to take our wages! We beg you, do not give them that money! It's all we have to feed our children and wives! We are even willing to work longer hours every day if you want us to, as long as you don't give that money to them!" They continued to prostrate themselves at Duke Dujardin's feet while pleading with him not to give their wages to the Crystalbrook police officers. Duke Dujardin didn't quite understand what they were saying. Of course, he wouldn't give their money to anyone. "Get up! There's no need to grovel like this!" he said, holding the shoulders of each worker one by one. "Please tell me, what's really going on?" They glanced at each other for a moment before the man at the forefront explaine

    "What?" Jack exclaimed. "It seems Leon has been thinking about this for a long time! He realizes that Duke Dujardin has become some sort of symbol of rebellion for the people to oppose him! Therefore, he is convinced that as long as Duke Dujardin is still alive or residing in Crystalbrook, people will still have hope to rebel against him!" "In other words," Jack continued. "If Leon succeeds in marrying Maartje, then it's like destroying the last hope of the people of Crystalbrook to oppose him?" "Exactly! But, of course, that won't solve the problem in Crystalbrook! Mass oppression and exploitation will occur! In the end, it's the people who will suffer!" "You're right!" That's all Jack could say. Now he understood that letting Leon marry Maartje would only make the people even more miserable in the end. He also understood that the most important thing now was to save Maartje and her family first. "Quantara, do you have any ideas?" "Of course! I've been thinking of the most pos
