Pierce was perplexed. Could it be that there was no issue with the Feynmans, and the mysterious owner and Grim used them as a cover?After Ruth gave the report, Arthur chuckled and remarked, "General Fischer, the Feynmans abide by the law. We will promptly inform the Combat Department if there is any relevant information.""Alright!" Pierce stood up. He realized staying at the Feynmans was futile. "Mr. Feynman, we'll take our leave now!"After leading the Combat Department out, and once the group departed, Arthur's expression immediately darkened."What's going on?"The Combat Department's sudden arrival in the middle of the night genuinely frightened him. After all, having engaged in dishonest actions, he naturally feared them.The old butler wiped the sweat from his forehead, saying, "I have no idea, Mr. Feynman. Maybe there's a problem on the other side?"Pierce is a legend. Only they could chase after him..."Arthur had an older brother, the true key figure of the Feynmans.
After the Larsons' downfall, the competition among the top-tier families significantly diminished.The Watsons were still awake. News of the underground arena quickly reached them, and James was certain that something significant would happen tonight.Suddenly, a figure flashed through the Watson residence—it was none other than Eric. The estate's security was useless against someone of his caliber.The younger family members were wide awake, while James felt drowsy. He stood up and said, "I can't hold on any longer. You all should rest early as well. Have those on duty stay alert."With age, burning the midnight oil became challenging. As he prepared to retire to his room, he was taken aback to see Ghostface standing at the entrance."Mr. Watson," Eric greeted James before stepping into the villa, making the Watsons anxious."Relax, it's Eric!" Jessica blurted.Even though Eric wore a mask, she still recognized him. Since Eric didn't deliberately change his voice, Jessica could
At the Hernandez residence.Julius' eyes were bloodshot. He had never been this close to Grace for so many years, sitting down to have a conversation. Despite being in good shape, the wrinkles around her eyes were visible.It struck him that he couldn't let go of Grace at all. "Grace—""Mr. Hernandez, I came with a very important mission tonight," Grace said indifferently."Unity is the future of the wealthy families in King City, and preliminary results have already been achieved. If we don't unite, we'll only grow weaker and weaker."This is a golden opportunity for the Hernandezes to make a comeback and restore their glory. I hope you will cherish it."Tomorrow, the top-tier families will release a joint statement, and the Watsons and McClains will host a banquet together. If the Hernandezes wish to join the alliance, you should release a press statement on time."With that said, Grace left behind a template for an alliance statement and departed.Julius understood that she
If the prominent families formed an alliance, it would be unfavorable for the Feynmans. Naturally, the Feynmans wouldn't allow the alliance to succeed.-All the families that issued the joint statement had gathered at the McClain residence.The competition among the families in King City had plateaued for a long time. A breakthrough was necessary for them to advance.Believing that uniting for development was an excellent choice, the prominent families were willing to give it a try. They could withdraw from the alliance without much loss if it didn't work out."Ladies and gentlemen, it doesn't matter who hosts this banquet. By uniting, we're all equal in status. We must come together. By reducing conflicts, we can develop together and achieve greater heights," Lionel said, raising his glass to the guests.Concerned that they might misunderstand the McClains, he deliberately made this statement to express clearly that every participating family was equal in this alliance."Mr. M
Grace confidently stepped forward and declared, "Mr. Feynman, I played a pivotal role in uniting the prominent families, including the McClains and Watsons. Is there any issue?"Arthur narrowed his eyes, turned his head, and addressed Grace, "So it's you, Madam Montgomery. Truly admirable! Your reputation precedes you, and I've long heard about your accomplishments."It's not surprising that you convinced the other families, but convincing the McClains and Watsons is unexpected! However, you didn't extend an invitation to the Feynmans. Are you plotting against us?" He scanned the crowd.Grace smiled. "Mr. Feynman, there might be a misunderstanding. How could we dare to go against the Feynmans? This alliance has no intention of targeting anyone. We're merely discussing a new development model."I believe you're aware that the development of prominent families in King City has remained stagnant for decades. Nothing has changed except for the families' names. Let me remind you if you'
Observing Arthur's overbearing demeanor, Julius felt indignant."Enough nonsense. The Feynmans will participate and guide the alliance!"All alliance members must adhere to my orders, including the McClains, Watsons, and Montgomerys."Who dares oppose me?" Arthur asserted.Lionel chuckled and replied, "Arthur, don't be too overbearing. I object!"James stood up, stating, "Everyone has a say in the alliance, so I object as well!""What we seek is progress, not dictatorship. The alliance's original purpose is the development of each family, not control. On behalf of the Montgomerys, I object!" Grace declared.Julius snorted and added, "I also object!"Killing intent filled Arthur's eyes as he glared at the four opposing figures."When the Feynmans established themselves as a top-tier family, your families were nobodies! So how dare you oppose me!" Arthur exclaimed indignantly.The Feynman grandmasters stepped forward, locking eyes with the various family heads. Simultaneously
Arthur glanced at Eric, narrowing his eyes as he spoke. "The successor of Hol. Thornfield. I didn't expect you to be here too! Oh, I forgot, you seem to be Madam Montgomery's son! So, are you joining the alliance as well?"He didn't care if Eric was Grace's son. He was only slightly wary of Eric's identity as Orion's successor. Offending Eric might mean offending the entire holistic medicine community. Even Arthur had to consider such consequences.Holistic medicine was on the decline, overshadowed by modern medicine.However, in recent years, prominent families had more trust in holistic medicine. Although holistic medicine was relatively time-consuming for recovery, it focused on addressing the root cause.Overall, only the affluent could afford holistic medicine. After all, the higher the skills of the physician, the higher the cost. It could be said that holistic physicians and the rich and powerful had a deep connection now.For that reason, Arthur was apprehensive about Eric
The Feynmans and the underground arena were evidently connected, and Eric managed to unveil Aaron's true identity with a single punch."You are… Ghostface?!" Aaron exclaimed.Few individuals had left a lasting impression on him, and Eric and Pierce were among the most recent ones.Eric concealed his face behind a mask in the underground arena, but Aaron vividly remembered his distinct figure. He couldn't help but notice the striking similarity between Eric and Ghostface.With the revelation of Aaron's identity, certain truths gradually came to light, piquing Eric and Pierce's curiosity about the mysterious owner. However, Arthur remained oblivious to the unfolding situation."Aaron, take them all down first!"Arthur was concerned. If Eric could withstand Aaron's punch, the Feynmans might not have the upper hand if Eric rallied various families against them.The Feynmans were eager to act, confident in their ability to confront everyone, even with Eric present.Aaron was acutely
