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
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
