Rising From The Death Chapter 25
Daniel pressed his head with his hands, confusion clouding his thoughts. "How could he know about that?"He tried to recall everything, but there was no way Brian could have found out. "I never said anything to anyone, and I definitely didn't tell him," Daniel muttered, pressing his temples harder. "It's a secret… a pact within the Gilbert family."Mason looked at Daniel calmly. "He's already told everyone." Then, emphasizing his point, he added, "Which means you need to handle this immediately. This is a problem."Mason paused briefly, straightening his suit before speaking again. "Trust is something invaluable."Hearing this, Daniel nodded, realizing that Mason was right.At this moment, Daniel was completely lost on what to do. But as Mason had said—he had to take control of the situation, or the Gilbert family would never trust him again.He had been working with the Gilbert family, shouldering immense responsibility. He couldn't afford to let Brian ruin everything.His gaze locke

Mason crossed one leg over the other, holding a glass of wine without taking his eyes off the two men still throwing punches at each other. He leaned back in his chair, utterly relaxed.He took a slow sip of his wine, savoring the sight of their heated argument. He was curious to see just how far this fight would go."You can't do this. You're completely insane," Daniel pointed a finger at Brian's face.Brian, unable to contain his fury, grabbed Daniel again and threw another punch at his cheek. But this time, Daniel was quick to react, blocking the attack before countering with a punch of his own.The onlookers watched the brawl in shock. It was surprising—these two were family, yet they weren’t just arguing; they were outright fighting."How could they do this?""This will ruin their family's reputation.""They're completely bizarre.""What are they even thinking? They shouldn’t be humiliating themselves like this."Mason's gaze shifted to a group of men murmuring among themselves.

Grandfather Daniel and Adam both turned to look at Darwin. The old man was utterly shocked.Adam swallowed hard. Knowing that Darwin was a powerful ruler, he had to be extremely careful with his behavior.Without hesitation, Adam bowed deeply, offering a respectful greeting to Darwin. Of course, he was showing a completely different side of himself in Darwin’s presence.Once they faced each other again, Adam quickly spoke, “Master Darwin, this is just a misunderstanding.”His sharp gaze darted toward Daniel. “This man has caused trouble, and I will immediately have him removed from here,” he said with emphasis, clearly hoping that Daniel would take the hint and leave.Meanwhile, Brian smirked in triumph. He was pleased to have his grandfather’s support and felt far superior to Daniel. In his mind, he was the one truly deserving of the major business contract.Silently, Mason observed the scene, his demeanor calm. He made no move to intervene.Darwin, too, remained composed, but his ga

After a while, the atmosphere gradually calmed down. At this moment, everyone started moving on, ignoring the previous commotion, and went back to enjoying the party.Daniel stared at Darwin, his gaze serious. He still couldn’t believe that Darwin had shown up and even defended him.It was truly extraordinary, especially considering that Darwin himself was an exceptional man. Not once did he hear any explanations or justifications from his grandfather for Brian’s actions.“Sir, thank you for trusting me,” Daniel spoke in a low voice, full of respect.Darwin gave a slight nod. His expression carried an overwhelming intensity that would make anyone who looked at him feel uneasy. “I came here because I received a call from a member of the Gilbert family.”“And Mr. Gilbert has learned everything. That is why I am here—to remove someone who should have been cast out long ago,” he said, emphasizing his words.Daniel was taken aback by what Darwin had just said. He was momentarily speechless

An old man in a black suit, Jerry, smiled as he looked at Mason. He rose from his seat, standing up and walking toward Mason.His facial expression changed, contrasting starkly with before. This time, he only showed a friendly demeanor. Yet, deep inside, he was thinking about something else entirely.Once the man stood face-to-face with Mason, he immediately gestured for him to sit. "Sir, please have a seat," he said politely.Quietly, he observed Mason from up close. "Tell me, how are you? Do you need something that has brought you here?""We will certainly provide you with any assistance you require." Once again, Jerry put on a friendly face.Meanwhile, Mason gazed at him with a blank expression. Even though he was being treated with kindness, vastly different from before, he remained vigilant. His sharp eyes swept across everyone in front of him. "I need to discuss an important matter and a job with you all."Seeing Mason still standing in place, Jerry gave him a pat on the shoulde

Mason's gaze remained fixed on the old man before him. The man's expression was serious, having just attempted to corner Mason.Yet, Mason remained completely calm. Even though four men were judging him in this place, it had no effect on him whatsoever. They didn’t even realize that, at this moment, they were facing the true head of the Gilbert family."If you’re truly brave, then you should confront Lord Gilbert directly," Mason emphasized, directing his words at Jerry. He knew that Jerry was all talk, spouting grand statements without any real proof.Mason was well aware that the man was merely trying to pressure him and take advantage of his presence."You can only offer threats. That’s the same as declaring war against the Gilbert family." Mason's expression remained impassive, but every word he spoke carried undeniable weight.He understood that these four men held significant power, enough to make many fear them. However, it seemed they had forgotten that their authority was not

Jerry sat calmly, savoring the wine in his hand. He leaned back and took a slow sip, relishing the rich taste. A smile spread across his wrinkled face. “This is truly exquisite.”His gaze swept over his companions seated before him. “The plan we’ve put in place—I’m certain it will succeed, and no one will ever know.”“This has been progressing smoothly. We’re going to reap a great fortune.” His laughter was met with the hearty chuckles of the others, who shared his confidence.One of his companions nodded in agreement. “You’re right. I’m sure this will work. And we’ll be profiting from not just one, but two of the most powerful families.”Several days later, beneath thousands of stars in the dark night sky, they enjoyed the sea breeze as it brushed against their faces.After leaning against the ship’s railing for a moment, Jerry made his way toward the table where his companions were seated.The table was lavishly set with a variety of fine dishes and drinks. Tonight, they were indulg

Hearing Mason’s words left the two men utterly shocked. They had no idea how Mason could dare to insult them so openly.Of course, such words only fueled their anger.“How dare you say something like that to us?!”“You better watch your mouth!” Jerry warned sharply, pointing his index finger at Mason.Aside from being a new member, Mason was much younger than them. His words were downright disrespectful.Yet, Mason remained seated calmly, his gaze shifting between them.“You two are complete fools.”His voice carried an unmistakable sharpness.“Do you truly not understand why I am here?” Mason emphasized his words.Jerry and Damian exchanged glances. As they had assumed before, they were certain Mason was there for the same reason as them—driven by greed, willing to betray the Gilbert family for power.However, the way Mason looked at them now—so different from before—left them confused.“Why… Why are you talking like that?”“You’re here for the same reason as us, aren’t you?

The two police officers were still very doubtful of Mason, but they wanted to hear what Mason had to say.They both stood in front of Mason, blocking his way as he tried to leave. "Say what you need to say.""We want to hear it." Henry crossed his arms, giving a very serious look.Mason gave a faint grin, looking at the two officers casually. "Just leave everything regarding the pedophile case to me.""I'll find him quickly." Mason said it with full confidence. "I only need half a day to uncover everything."It wasn't something difficult for Mason to do. He could rely on himself, or even Rudolf, who had experience. That person would be found easily.However, after hearing Mason's seemingly casual statement, both officers became even more distrustful of him. They thought that Mason was underestimating such a serious matter and believed he was just playing around.The officer stared at Mason coldly. He slightly grinned. "Do you think this case will be easy to uncover?"They knew that pe

Mason had already prepared himself, knowing that the two officers were about to attack him. His eyes quickly darted to a stone beneath him. With swift movement, Mason silently picked it up.Just as one of the officers aimed his gun at him, Mason threw the stone with a quick motion.The movement was so fast that the officer didn’t even see it coming or have time to dodge. The stone hit the officer’s hand squarely, causing him to drop the gun."Ahhh..." the man screamed, feeling pain in his wrist. The stone had successfully injured his hand and caused intense pain.The officer immediately held his aching hand, realizing a little blood was starting to seep from the wound. This only fueled his anger even more. "Damn. How dare he do this!"His partner couldn’t accept the situation easily. He pointed at Mason and shouted, "What have you done?""You’ve just attacked a police officer. You’re truly disrespectful," the officer cursed at Mason.Meanwhile, the injured officer ignored the pain in

Unconsciously, Mason had fallen asleep in the park. When he just woke up, Mason saw two police officers standing in front of him with cold expressions. The two officers seemed to want to intimidate him.Mason slowly got up. He looked at the two officers calmly.One of the officers played with the baton in his hand, his gaze scrutinizing Mason's appearance. He raised an eyebrow slightly and asked in a cold voice, “Why are you here?”“You should know that you can’t just sleep anywhere in the park,” the other officer emphasized.“Are you homeless?” After scanning Mason, the officer quickly corrected his statement. Mason didn’t look like a homeless person. His clothes were neat, and his hair was not messy. However, the officer continued his investigation. “Did you just take drugs?”They stared at him coldly, waiting for Mason's response.Mason shook his head slowly. “No. I just wanted to spend some time here,” he said calmly.At this moment, he realized that the two officers were very sus

Mason sat quietly, enjoying his meal. He brought the food to his mouth and chewed slowly.At that moment, Rudolf stood beside him, deep in thought over Mason’s earlier words.The man lowered his head slightly before speaking. “Master, were you serious about the great disaster that will strike the city of Bruges?” Rudolf looked at Mason intently.He had investigated the matter ever since receiving the information from his master. Now, he needed confirmation.Mason swallowed his food, nodded, and took a slow sip of his drink. “Yes. Just as I told you before.”His expression shifted after Rudolf brought up the subject. Even his appetite diminished slightly.Rudolf remained silent for a moment, but his gaze never left his master. “Master, I haven’t found any news about that.”He swallowed hard. “According to the data I’ve studied, nothing is going to happen,” he said in a quiet voice.“Master, all the information I gathered indicates that everything is fine. The weather, the winds—everyth

They were utterly shocked by Mason’s words. However, they refused to believe him, dismissing his claim as complete nonsense. To them, Mason was simply pretending to be the head of the Gilbert family to intimidate them and instill fear.But that would never happen. In fact, they were growing increasingly frustrated with everything Mason was saying.“That’s impossible!” Jerry rejected the notion outright. Even though he knew the Gilbert family was highly secretive, the idea of Mason being their leader was absurd.In their eyes, Mason was nothing more than a young man sent as an envoy of the Gilbert family.They were convinced that he was merely carrying out an assigned task. And they had to admit—Mason had succeeded.That was when they realized just how dangerous their situation had become. This could turn into a complete disaster for them.Jerry and Damian exchanged glances, silently communicating. A single nod from Damian was enough for Jerry to understand. They had to escape before t
