As the crimson flow of blood started from Victor's wound, an overwhelming sense of fear took hold of Gina. Staring at her hands now tainted with his blood, she involuntarily let the knife slip from her grasp.Despite Victor's predicament, he harbored no resentment towards his mother in law. He recognized that her capture was a consequence of his actions, yet her unhesitating response caught him off guard. It made him ponder the depth of her animosity towards him and left him questioning the true extent of her hatred.Julius erupted in applause, a triumphant smile gracing his face. "This dagger isn't your run of the mill regularweapon; it's meticulously infused with a lethal poison. The intrigue is exquisite—imagine a mother in law killing her son in law. It could be a sensational headline, but alas, that would be too easy and straightforward."Turning his attention to Victor, Julius, still sporting his genial grin, reminisced, "I recall when Martin's formidable boss asserted dominan
Victor concluded his confrontation with the two bodyguards before proceeding with a deliberate stride towards James. Amused, he chuckled while approaching, "The powerful Julius Wilson peeing on his body because of fear. Oh how delightful! It's such a spectacle. This should make the headlines, however it's too easy and straightforward, it's lacking the challenge I crave."Julius was instantly engulfed by a sense of déjà vu, recalling a moment when he said somethings like that at the time he issued a command to eliminate Gina. As he found himself in a perilous situation, he pleaded desperately, "Spare my life! I can offer you anything – wealth, women, power." Fear laced his words as he sought mercy.Victor chuckled, remarking, "If you genuinely possessed true power, your current predicament would not exist; perhaps I'd be facing the imminent threat of losing my head."In that moment, Malik entered the building. Julius, upon spotting him, sensed a glimmer of hope that Malik could poten
Despite Diana's aversion to being trailed, she recognized the inevitability of the situation. Observing the significant transformations in Victor's life, she harbored a desire to become an integral part of his newfound existence.While Victor harbored a strong inclination to disclose the events surrounding Diana's mother the day before, he refrained from doing so to spare her excessive concern. Furthermore, he had planned to use the present day as an opportunity to announce her well deserved promotion.After Diana's departure, Victor swiftly made his way to the Westridge hotel, where he efficiently wore his disguise and assumed the identity of 'Mr. Parker.' As he glanced at the chameleon mask, he deliberated on whether to don it. Recollections surfaced of the previous instance when he struggled to remove the mask, eventually resorting to employing his spiritual energy to achieve the feat.After careful consideration, he decided to don the chameleon mask once more. He tried to take
Upon emerging into the open, he sought solace in a secluded corner, yearning to reclaim his authentic visage. After a brief moment of introspection, he retrieved his phone, employing it as a makeshift mirror. Witnessing his genuine countenance restored, he marveled at the transformation while concealed behind the enigmatic guise of a chameleon mask.In a whimsical twist, he envisioned the features of Diana, swiftly verifying that his face had seamlessly metamorphosed to mirror hers.To accomplish the remarkable transformation of his face, he discovered the need to channel his spiritual energy specifically to his facial region while envisioning the desired changes. In that instance, a profound sense of astonishment engulfed him, surpassing any prior experience.Retrieving his facial features, he skillfully employed his spiritual energy to remove the mask, proceeding to a nearby store to acquire a fresh set of clothes.He quickly made the changes in the fitting room before donning th
As the young man was escorted away, Victor addressed the assembly, remarking, "Consider this incident a glimpse of the consequences. The severity of punishments escalates with the gravity of your transgressions. Conversely, uphold virtue, and rewards will follow. Kudos to those who earned their promotions. Future internal advancements will depend on the discretion of the incoming management team, tasked with filling current vacancies."With these words, Victor rose from his seat, and Mr. Stone trailed him as they exited the room.After settling into his car, Victor eagerly removed his mask, savoring the newfound sense of refreshment. As he navigated the roads, Diana wasted no time in reaching out to him, eager to share the positive news. Victor, showcasing his acting prowess, responded with a delighted surprise, celebrating the positive developments and promotion in her workplace.Upon concluding the call, a recollection surfaced in Victor's mind – his wife had previously mentioned
Sipping on his wine, Victor's attention was drawn as he observed the approach of a middle aged man accompanied by Boss Kent. Lifting his gaze, he noted the newcomer's pleasant demeanor, characterized by a friendly smile that adorned the face of a slightly portly individual sporting glasses.Boss Kent had spotted Victor earlier so that was how he knew Victor's exact seated position.As they got there, the chubby man stretched out his hand, "Hello Mr. Victor, I'm Jonathan. Boss Kent had told me about you."Victor extended a welcoming handshake, inviting him and Boss Kent to settle into their seats. Once they were comfortably seated, he inquired, "I'm curious, what insights did he share about me?"Jonathan responded with a warm smile, "He highlighted your impressive achievements at such a young age. As a fellow businessman, I'm drawn to connecting with individuals who exhibit business brilliance."Victor chuckled, "In all honesty, I wouldn't claim to be a business genius. However, you'r
Venita entered the room, her cheeks tinged with a blush, and confidently declared, "I don't resemble those pretentious individuals who are utterly useless."As the moment to settle the bill arrived, the waitress, who had earlier presented the costly wine, reappeared, informing them, "My boss insists that everything ordered in this exclusive hall is on the house for his friend. No need to worry about the payment; it's all taken care of."Venita, with her characteristically sharp tongue, inquired of the waitress, "Could you kindly inform me who among us all is your boss's friend?"The waitress, devoid of knowledge, responded, "I'm merely tasked with conveying a message; his arrival is imminent, and perhaps he can provide the details you seek."With that the waitress left.Venita chuckled, "Certainly, she can't know that. Her status is quite basic, just like a few others around here. The exclusive privilege of being considered a friend of the hotel's proprietor belongs solely to Howard."
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
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
