After concluding his business at Samuel's residence, Victor concealed his identity once more behind the mask, regaining the previous face he employed for discretion. Accompanied by Malik and Michael, they returned to the hotel to unwind.As dawn broke the following day, they departed from the hotel with a specific destination in Victor's sights—the residence of none other than Jonathan Wilston or rather the Wilston family.This was the very individual to whom Victor had encountered previously, and gave the dragon cauldron to as a gift during the auction.(NOTE: TO REFRESH YOUR MEMORY, THIS HAPPENED IN CHAPTER 51)"Hmmm, Malik, we are going to see an acquaintance. I'm not hundred percent sure yet but I think they might be involved in medicine. But like I said, I'm not sure, just a gut feeling." Victor said."Malik, we're on our way to meet someone, an acquaintance of sorts," Victor mused thoughtfully. "I can't be certain, but I have this intuition that they might have connections to t
"I am Garvin, serving as the head of the security guards and chief guardian for the esteemed Wilston family," declared the commanding figure who led the men that surrounded Victor, Michael, and Malik. He strode ahead, the trio trailing behind, until he halted abruptly. Raising his hand, Garvin gestured and executed a series of signals. In an instant, the panoramic view for Victor, Malik, and Michael underwent a dramatic transformation.Gone were the towering mountains and dense bushes that previously filled their view. In their place stood an expansive compound adorned with distinct villas, each exuding an ancient ambiance that added a unique character to the surroundings. It was as if they were transported to a different era.Infacr, the Wilston family functioned as a self contained community, and as Garvin, the head of the Wilston family's guards, guided Victor, Michael, and Malik through the vast Wilston family compound, he took the chance to show and acquaint them with various ar
"Indeed, he's not dumb," remarked Jonathan. He paused briefly before delving further into the matter, explaining,"Yet, his inability to speak seems to be rooted in psychological challenges. It's likely that some stimuli connected to his past experiences might serve as a catalyst for him to verbalize. The specifics remain uncertain, though."Victor acknowledged the information with a nod, expressing his gratitude, "Alright, thank you for shedding light on this."Jonathan expressed regret, stating, "I apologize for not being able to assist you with any of your requests."In response, Victor responded with a reassuring smile and said, "No worries, it's perfectly fine."Jonathan expressed his commitment, "I will ngage in a conversation with the elders, attempting to persuade them to allow your friend to learn pill making and traditional medicine.""Thank you. By the way, you mentioned your former leader is still alive. How did you come by this information since you haven't seen her in a
A hush fell over the meeting hall as all eyes focused on Jonathan. The anticipation lingered before he addressed the assembly, pondering aloud, "Do you think he should try if he could inherit it?"The one eyed elder took a thoughtful pause before voicing his reservations, "He doesn't share our lineage. It contradicts our longstanding traditions."In response, Jonathan interjected, offering a counterpoint, "The previous leader wasn't a Wilston by birth, yet her influence is the cornerstone of our current knowledge. Without her, the Wilston family was just a struggling traditional medical family."The one eyed elder lapsed into thoughtful silence before breaking it after a minute, asking, "To what extent are you acquainted with his influence?"Jonathan furrowed his brow, reflecting on the matter. "It's hard to gauge precisely, but during the auction, his two companions were very young and both were at the peak of the Noble realm, displayed a clear hierarchy with him.""Their actions ind
Victor drew in a profound breath, affirming his consent with a nod. The swift pace of preparations for the ceremony caught Malik and Michael off guard, yet not entirely unexpected. The duo found themselves taken aback by this sudden turn of events, but deep down, they acknowledged that Victor's exceptional nature and innate ability to command attention and dominate were ever present, ensuring his influence wherever he ventured.The ceremony unfolded with simplicity, progressing seamlessly. Following its conclusion, Victor convened a meeting with Jonathan and the respected elders.In addressing the assembly, Victor articulated, "Primarily, I wish to clarify my reluctance to assume the role of the Wilston family head. Although I may hold the position nominally, I am committed to entrusting Jonathan with the overarching responsibilities.""He will retain authority over day to day matters, exercising decision making autonomy, except in cases of utmost significance."Jonathan found himsel
Victor and Malik swiftly refreshed themselves before making their way to an upscale boutique to acquire some luxurious clothing.Exiting the boutique, as they prepared to hail a taxi, a black car abruptly pulled up in front of them, halting with a screech. Emerging from the vehicle was none other than Linda, the daughter of Samuel.Victor clearly surprised to see her here immediately, "What are you doing here?"Linda's smile widened in response, and she shared, "I had a hunch that you were planning to make an unexpected entrance at the Lois family's gathering. Naturally, I wanted to be a part of the festivities."Victor, feigning innocence, narrowed his eyes and played dumb, saying, "I have no idea what you're referring to. Michael and I are just here for some casual shopping."Linda deftly seized the invitation from Victor's pocket, a swift movement that caught him off guard, revealing his lack of anticipation. Her hands moved with a purpose, extracting the card with nimble precisio
After the video concluded, the security guard interrogating Victor asked, "Given the undeniable evidence, what is your response now?"Victor chuckled, as if finding amusement in a jest, and retorted, "Evidence? Are you referring to the fabricated lies and concoted falsehoods?"Rising from his seat with an apparent intent to depart, Victor's movement triggered a swift response from the surrounding security guards, who promptly brandished their firearms and aimed them at him. The questioning guard pressed on, "Why did you take the life of the mayor's son?" He persisted, adding, "The mayor is en route, and answers are imperative."Of course, Victor was not afraid of the mayor but he didn't want to wait here to see the mayor, he wanted to leave and see how deep Wayne Lois's game could be. Besides, people would never believe the evidence was fake and him escaping was another proof to them but being the person who had a feud with the Lois family, he understood so much.In the next moment,
In concurrence, Victor made the decision to return to their lodging, and this time, Linda accompanied him, her tenacious nature compelling her to follow. Victor acknowledged that their current hotel, where they had been residing, would inevitably be discovered, but despite this awareness, he opted to revisit the place.While Victor possessed the ability to conceal himself effortlessly—dispatching Michael to the Wilston family and directing Linda to her home, and subsequently altering his appearance with the chameleon mask—he found this approach too straightforward. His desire extended beyond mere evasion; he aimed to assert dominance and subjugate the prominent families of Palue under his control.Upon arriving at the hotel, Victor promptly retired to his room, while Michael and Linda also opted for accommodation. Battling fatigue, Victor succumbed to the need for rest, dozing off for about thirty minutes. However, his tranquility was abruptly disrupted by a knock on his door.Risi
