Chapter 1404 – A Ridiculous Situation
*****Near Xavier, the mercenary and the scout remained locked in a tense standoff.Neither of them moved or blinked. Instead, their eyes remained fixed on one another, so intense that the atmosphere had become suffocating, thanks to them.And it went on like that for a moment, until suddenly… the mercenary slowly adjusted his footing.The soldier mirrored him.A gust of wind swept through the street, but still, neither attacked.It felt as though an entire hour had passed despite only a few seconds going by, then…“Get out of my fucking path!” the mercenary roared, the explosive shout shattering the tension.Before he even finished speaking, however, his body had already launched forward, a heavy punch tearing through the air with enough force to make nearby spectators flinch.He attacked ruthlessly, directly, and brutally.But the scout reacted immediately.Without the slightest hesitation, he stepped forward and met the attack head-on, but then unexpectedly…CLANG!!!A metallic col
Chapter 1403 – The Third Brother’s Pride II
*****The third brother continued grinning proudly, looking like a man who had personally planned the entire operation.Seeing this, some of the private soldiers rolled their eyes before all of them eventually looked away.Meanwhile, the Third Brother continued laughing to himself.The sound was so irritating that even the right-hand man and the patriarch were beginning to frown in irritation.Eventually, his laughter faded, replaced by a mischievous, dangerous smile.It was the kind of smile that only appeared when he was about to make himself everyone's problem.Then his gaze shifted toward Borgia.“My dear brother,” he said sweetly.Startled, Borgia slowly turned toward him, his face turning calm, composed, and unbothered.Anyone unfamiliar with him would have believed he wasn't affected at all. Unfortunately for him, the Third Brother knew him far too well.The two of them had spent years plotting against one another… competing and sabotaging each other’s plans.If there was anyon
Chapter 1402 – The Third Brother’s Pride
*****Earlier, when the patriarch had casually commented that the private army was equally clever, the right-hand man had been confused.Now he understood.And with that understanding, the respect he felt toward the patriarch increased once more.The old monster truly saw things several steps ahead of everyone else.The right-hand man sighed internally and then turned his attention back toward the private soldiers.This time, however, all traces of the condescension he had subconsciously held toward them were gone.'They might actually be smarter than the mercenaries.' The thought appeared naturally.But then he paused briefly, his brows furrowing as he replayed everything that had happened.Ultimately, he slowly shook his head.'No. 'That wasn't accurate,’ he corrected himself internally. 'The two groups are equally dangerous.'The two groups had done the same thing… devising a distraction while secretly sending someone toward Xavier.Neither side had been careless or foolish.If any
Chapter 1401 – An Unexpected Turn of Events II
*****For a split second, nobody reacted, then realization dawned upon them.'Scout.' Several thoughts surfaced simultaneously. 'He's a scout.''That explains it.''No wonder he appeared out of nowhere.'Yet almost immediately, another second question emerged in every mind, and as it did, the mercenary who had nearly been ambushed voiced it."Even if you're a scout," he said while narrowing his eyes suspiciously, "how did you follow me in such broad daylight without anyone noticing?"The question instantly caused several people to nod internally.There had been dozens of people present, yet somehow this man had slipped through everyone's awareness like a ghost.However, the soldier merely widened his smirk."As I said," he replied, sounding almost offended that the question needed repeating, "that's my specialty."The mercenary's eyelid twitched while several others felt the urge to curse.His response was technically an answer, yet somehow it answered absolutely nothing, leaving ever
Chapter 1400 – An Unexpected Turn of Event
*****"Not so quick."Just as the word sounded, the mercenary's expression changed drastically.A terrifying chill exploded across his entire body before he even realized it, his survival instincts screaming.Then, without even understanding why, he launched himself backward with everything he had, and just at that very moment…PIUUU!!!A fist tore through the air, directly shooting through the exact position where the mercenary's head had been a split second earlier.The force generated by that strike distorted the air itself, and instantly… everyone froze in place, complete silence dominating the street.At the same time, the mercenary landed several meters away before stumbling to a stop. Then his pupils contracted violently.‘Had I been even half a second slower...’ he swallowed, cold sweat soaking his back. ‘My skull might have exploded.’…."This...!"The right-hand man's eyes widened, Borgia's jaw dropped, and the Third Brother looked as though his soul had temporarily left his
Chapter 1399 – “Not So Quick”
*****"I'll give you five times the agreed reward!"As soon as the third brother yelled those words, the private army, which hadn't shown even the slightest trace of urgency until now, suddenly smirked.It was a faint expression, barely noticeable.Yet for some reason, it carried an indescribable confidence.Unfortunately, neither the Third Brother, Borgia, nor even the right-hand man noticed it. At this moment, all eyes were focused elsewhere… on the mercenary who had already arrived before his target.A triumphant grin stretched across his face as he extended his arm toward Xavier's shoulder, looking like a hunter finally placing his hand on prey after a long chase.To him and everyone watching, this was already over.Seeing this, Borgia's excitement skyrocketed.The grin on his face became wider and wider until it looked like his cheeks might split apart.He could already taste victory… the inheritance, grand reward, and his younger brother becoming his servant.Just imagining it a
