After the anguished cries subsided, Boss Kent re entered the private hall where the others awaited. In his hands, he gripped a handkerchief, diligently cleansing the red stains that adorned his palms—a stark reminder of the blood that had been spilled moments before. The evidence of his recent actions was unmistakable.Victor gazed at Diana, his affectionate tone filling the air. "My love, shall we make our way home, or would you prefer to extend our time with your classmates?"Diana responded softly, "Let's head home." Victor acknowledged her choice with a nod, intertwining his fingers with hers as they exited the venue.Before stepping out, Victor addressed Jonathan, ensuring the seamless execution of his instructions. "Once everything is in order, get in touch with Martin for the details. Ensure that the meal is on the house for them. Lastly, arrange for my wife's car to be sent to our residence."Jonathan affirmed his understanding, observing Victor and Diana's departure along w
Arriving home, Victor provided comfort to Diana, ensuring she had peacefully drifted into sleep before venturing outside. Contemplating for a brief moment, he retrieved his phone, deliberated over his thoughts, and proceeded to dial a specific number.As the call connected, he addressed the recipient, saying, "Greetings, Uncle Kain. I find myself in need of your assistance, and I sincerely hope you can help me with a matter of importance."Butler Kain responded, "Young master, what is it?"Victor explained, "I've recently uncovered a revelation about my wife, Diana. It turns out she isn't a member of the Gardner family; her father was adopted. I find myself in need of your expertise to help unravel the mystery surrounding her true heritage and background."Butler Kain expressed, "That revelation is truly unexpected. A family of that nature hardly merits the presence of such a compassionate young lady. Rest assured, young master, I am committed to addressing the matter diligently. Add
Victor opted for a wardrobe change, discarding any disguises. Without the concealment of a mask, he hopped into a car, steering it determinedly towards the Cooper family's home, clutching his invitation card securely.Notably, Malik from the Campbell family decided to attend the birthday celebration this time. While the Campbells had received invitations previously, they typically maintained a low profile, steering clear of the ongoing conflicts intertwining the Cooper, Wilson, and Morris families. However, Malik chose to break this pattern by participating in the celebration.Malik attended the birthday celebration primarily due to Victor's invitation, a fact that instilled confidence in Mr. Campbell, who was assured by his knowledge of Malik's acquaintance with Victor. Upon Victor's observation of Malik entering the house, a smile graced his face. Unbeknownst to Malik, Victor's entire family held positions subordinate to him, yet Victor, known for his amicable approach, never vie
"Clap! Clap!! Clap!!!" Applause echoed through the room as James turned his attention to Victor, witnessing him enthusiastically clapping his hands.Victor, with a satisfied smile, remarked, "You certainly possess audacity to issue threats to my person in my presence."In response, James said, "Initially, I failed to discern your actions, but fortunately, I have a keen observer. Your confidence is well founded. You not only dispatched Julius and my associates but also rescued your mother in law. Your prowess as a cultivator in the Noble Realm is impressive, cleverly concealed to the point that even I was nearly deceived."Approaching the motionless, or rather lifeless, Mr. Cooper, James retrieved a needle discreetly stuck in his heel."Remarkable precision! Your throw was executed with such unexpected speed that I couldn't even track it with my own eyes. Such good aim and accuracy," James remarked, his gaze fixed on the acupuncture needle. In the ensuing moment, he gestured as though
Sporting a displeased countenance, Mike wore an expression of displeasure on his face. While engaged in a fierce confrontation with Victor, Victor skillfully extricated himself from the ongoing skirmish, redirecting his focus to another battle where he sought to rescue Malik.In a fit of indignation, Mike bellowed, "How dare you disrespect me?" His anger propelled him forward, launching a powerful punch toward Victor in an attempt to assert dominance.Enraged by the sight of his fallen subordinates, James channeled his anger and actively joined the fray alongside Mike. Together, they relentlessly besieged Victor, leaving him no respite in the midst of their coordinated assault. Victor found himself caught between the dual onslaughts, enduring a continuous barrage that allowed him little room to breathe.At this juncture, Josephine exuded immense joy, her sole desire being the sight of Victor's death. Meanwhile, Malik harbored concerns, observing the unfolding events with a sense of
As the swirling dust gradually subsided, the onlookers witnessed an astonishing sight – James, who had attempted to stomp on Victor, was forcefully propelled backward, and Victor stood enveloped in an ethereal, faint white light.As James regained his footing, confusion etched across his face, he asked, "What just happened?"Meanwhile, Mike, his gaze unwaveringly fixed on Victor, uttered with a sense of disbelief, "He's breaking through."In synchronous realization, both James and Mike exchanged a determined glance, vocalizing almost simultaneously, "We cannot allow him to break through."Swiftly, they materialized next to Victor, launching potent punches infused with their spiritual energy at him with remarkable speed.However, the forceful blows aimed at Victor were not met with impact; instead, they were absorbed by the ethereal, faint white light enveloping him.Witnessing this extraordinary phenomenon, Mike quivered, a surge of fear prompting him to pivot with the desperate inten
Victor nodded decisively, rendering Mike unconscious with a swift blow before dialing Martin's number. "Both of you, head to the Cooper family's residence immediately. No time to waste."Following the call, he also sent a text message to Martin without delay.After concluding the conversations, he leisurely approached Josephine, delivering a sinister message, "A contract will soon arrive, and you will willingly relinquish all the properties your family has. I'm sure you have the whole power to that."Defiant, Josephine retorted with hatred as she spat on him, "I would never do such. I would rather die than surrender to you."Victor casually wiped away her spit, chuckling, "So be it. Your wish will be granted, but rest assured, I will still claim all the properties. You should know there is always a way."Victor shifted his attention to the family members of Wilson and Morris, who glared at him with unmistakable animosity.His actions had undeniably fueled their resentment, having been
After completing his tasks, Victor proceeded directly to Maple Villa, feeling fatigued from the intense battle he had just experienced.Upon the arrival of the next morning, Victor was abruptly awakened by a phone call from Butler Kain.Answering the phone, the resonant voice of Butler Kain conveyed, "Congratulations, young master, on your triumphant conquest of MidRidge."Surprised, Victor sat up in bed, remarking, "That was fast. You got the news so quick."With a chuckle, Butler Kain remarked, "The Parker family holds significant influence, ranking among the foremost families in all of Varisia. Keeping tabs on every development in a small city like MidRidge is a straightforward task for them."Curious, Victor asked, "Now that I've completed this task, what comes next?" He knew this call was not just to congratulate him. Butler Kain had once talked about a second mission the last time they spoke. However, he was not provided with the details.Butler Kain responded, "It's imperative
At that moment, it was as if his roar was that of a lion as a gust of wind spread everywhere sending John 1 retreating.Victor closed his eyes as a transformation began to take place in his body as a translucent light covered his body whole.This meant one thing, he was breaking through. Naturally, people's breakthrough were normal and there were no many special things to accompany their breakthrough but it was different for Victor. Victor was a special person and as such some of his cultivation breakthroughs were very special and happened with some special events or elements.John 1 was quick to realise this and immediately rushed to attack Victor but the same way he moved forward, he was blown back almost immediately, there was nothing he could do to stop Victor's breakthrough.John 1 looked at Michael and his two brothers, in the next moment, he appeared there with the quickest speed. He wanted them to end Michael at least before Victor broke through totally.His arrival there was
Victor directed his gaze towards Michael and expressed, "I may not possess extensive knowledge about the roar of a lion, but based on what i have seen you do, I'm willing to give it a shot and see what I can do." Observing Victor's willingness, Michael nodded in agreement.In the ensuing moment, Victor let out a resounding roar, its intensity heightened by the surge of his spiritual energy. While not matching the sheer potency of Michael's lion like roar, Victor's ordinary roar possessed enough force to unsettle those who had encircled them.As the men staggered to the ground, momentarily disoriented, Victor and Michael seized the opportunity to advance swiftly, unleashing a barrage of powerful and precise strikes in their coordinated assault.Michael's thunderous lion roar possessed the formidable capability to render the less resilient individuals unconscious or induce bleeding from their ears and various facial regions. In contrast, Victor's roar, though less overwhelming, had a
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
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,
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
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
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
"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
"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
