In the castle’s surveillance room, the guards were wide-eyed with shock as they watched the gate blow apart.After a stunned silence, they finally saw the horde of armed gangsters charging in. One of the guards grabbed his radio, screaming: “Armed intruders! Armed intruders have broken in!”The head of security grumbled over the radio: “Are you out of your mind? Armed gangsters? Where the hell did they come from?”“They’re at the gate, they’ve already broken in! Lots of them, all with guns!”The head of securi
Alexander pushed the door open and smiled at Madoc and Norwood, completely ignoring the guns pointed at him from all directions.“I’ve come out, and there are so many guns aimed at me. Does that mean you’re all afraid of me?” Alexander said calmly.“Afraid? Ha! Who would be scared of a poor bastard like you? I brought this whole crew here for revenge! Are you the one who’s scared, huh?” Norwood replied smugly.“Scared? Not at all. In fact, I find this… a bit thrilling.” Alexander said, moving slowly toward Norwood.Madoc squinted, sizing Alexander up from head to toe. Other than his boldness, Madoc couldn’t quite read him, but he stayed on guard, fingers tightening around his gun, ready to fire at any moment.Seeing Alexander approach, Norwood’s fury flared as he raised his gun and barked: “You’ve got guts, walking out here alone. Now, get on your knees in front of me so I can teach you some respect.”When Alexander was about five meters away, Madoc coldly ordered: “Stop there. That’s
Rubin smiled wryly and said: “I’m truly sorry about tonight. I didn’t expect things to go this far. I’ll have someone escort you home.”“Thank you.” Alexander replied calmly.Rubin arranged for two bodyguards to take Alexander and Eleanor home. Then he looked at the pile of bodies on the floor, wondering how on earth to deal with the aftermath.With so many dead, no matter where it happened, it would be a big deal. He needed reliable support to handle this.After a moment’s hesitation, Rubin pulled out his phone to check, noting that the signal had been restored and the jamming lifted.He found Joaquin’s number and dialed, speaking nervously: “Mr. Joaquin, there was an unexpected situation tonight. I’m afraid I couldn’t fully complete the task.”"What unexpected situation?" Joaquin asked.Rubin quickly recounted the events, and Joaquin’s lips curved into a smile as he listened.“Sounds intriguing. Pull the security footage and send it to me. I want to see how he handled things. I’ll t
After hanging up, Eleanor took Alexander’s arm: “Come with me tomorrow.”“Sure, I’d love to see what this high school heartthrob of yours is like.” Alexander teased.Eleanor rolled her eyes playfully at him and began chatting about her thoughts.At the same time, Norwood’s father, Kameron Parks, received a phone call from the Parks family mansion at Crystal. After listening, Kameron was left in stunned silence.“Mr. Parks, my son has been traumatized and is seeing a therapist. What he told you is the truth—your son’s really in serious trouble. You’d better contact Golden Harbor to find out exactly what happened.” the voice on the other end said.Kameron’s face contorted with rage, his expression fierce: “Damn it! Whoever dared harm my son will pay with their life!” he spat.“Mr. Parks, please hold yourself together. My son is mentally unstable. I can’t talk any longer.” the caller said before hanging up.Furious, Kameron threw his phone across the room.“What’s wrong, sir?” the butler
Abraham Mark wore a tailored suit crafted by a top-notch tailor, standing with his hands clasped outside the meeting room door.At that moment, Abraham was like a blade drawn from its sheath, exuding a chilling presence, with an imposing aura radiating from him.As a senior healthcare attorney in the country, Abraham Mark had won numerous medical malpractice cases, but this was the first time in his career that he was suing a pharmaceutical enterprise.In the past, his cases were mostly due to doctor errors, where victories led to hospitals compensating the patients’ families with hundreds of millions of dollars. However, suing a pharmaceutical enterprise was different. If this lawsuit succeeded, Abraham would open a new field and gain even more fame and fortune.This was a battle that had to be won, especially with the support of the Parks family. Let alone a small pharmaceutical firm like the Marshalls, even a large-scale pharmaceutical company wouldn’t be out of Abraham’s reach.Mo
The legal counsel having heard Abraham’s name on the way, entered the conference room with a sense of dread. Carefully, he glanced at Abraham.“Teacher... Teacher Mark, why are you here? I’m a graduate student mentored by Professor Cameron Gross. Professor Gross and you are... classmates, right?” The legal counsel tried to establish rapport, hoping it might smooth things over.Abraham glanced at the legal counsel with disdain.“Professor Gross? He dares call himself a professor? His students are as mediocre as he is. Don’t bother trying to connect with me. When I take a case, I keep emotions out of it.”The legal counsel flushed, embarrassed, as he moved to stand by Walden’s side.“It’s not that I lack ability, but he’s exceptionally skilled in medical litigation. I’m nowhere near his level, let alone close enough to win.”Walden looked at his legal counsel, already knowing his capabilities. Handling standard cases was one thing, but to argue with Abraham in court was out of the questi
Rubin in his usual grandiose manner, exclaimed: "Oh heavens, my God, surely the Lord has great favor for Young Master Reynolds. Who knew Young Master Reynolds was such a legal expert? You truly surprise me.”His exaggerated tone echoed through the meeting room, causing Abraham to pause and reflect.The latest additional interpretation? Practical application standards?What on earth was all that?The beast inside Abraham roared in frustration, unable to decipher what Alexander was talking about.One of his lawyers started searching on his phone. Moments later, with a pained expression, he handed the phone to Abraham.“Here’s the latest additional interpretation and the practical application standards issued last night. We were too busy to read this part last night.”Abraham quickly grabbed the phone, scanned the contents on the screen, and then looked as if he’d been struck by lightning.“Damn it! Why didn’t you notice this last night? All the preparations have been for nothing!” Abrah
Although Christian wasn’t part of the Dragon Sect, having a master in the Dragon Sect was enough for Kameron. Even if Christian couldn’t handle Alexander, wasn’t there still his master?"May I ask who the master of the Dragon Leader is?" Kameron asked."The name of my master—telling you wouldn’t help, you wouldn’t know him. My grandmaster in the Dragon Sect is the Eighth Dragon King, known within the Dragon Sect as Mr. Joaquin."Christian spoke proudly.This year, with this connection, Christian had made quite a bit of money in business, and he was genuinely regarded as Joaquin’s disciple.Moreover, his move to settle in the city was because Christian had caught wind of some information—he knew Joaquin was planning to deal with some punk in Golden Harbor. Christian had been thinking about how he could assist Joaquin, hoping to stay close to Joaquin’s favor.Kameron gestured to the old butler, who handed over a set of documents to Christian."This is information on the person you’re to
