On this tranquil day in MidRidge, the usual calm prevailed, and the police pursuit of Victor came to a halt following Martin's intervention. However, there was an undercurrent surging. After this calm was the stormVictor, in turn, stopped driving with such fast speed after a while and decided to instead to accompany his daughter to a nearby big amusement park where she could revel in the joy of playing with her peers and have fun.As Victor observed his daughter's unrestrained laughter and enthusiastic play, a cascade of smiles adorned his previously clouded face. This serene moment marked a stark contrast to his past, where thoughts of acquiring financial stability for his family and enduring the Gardner family's humiliation consumed his every contemplation. The unexpected tranquility of the present stood as a testament to the positive change that had taken root in Victor's life.As Victor observed his daughter from a distance, his attention was abruptly diverted by the presence
Victor maintained a stoic silence, his gaze fixed on the woman's husband. A chilling smile crept across his face, and the woman's husband, who had involuntarily dropped his cutlass, wore a fearful expression. As he prepared to shout a warning to his men, it was already too late as they had closed in on Victor and were already dropping their battons and baseball bats"Close your eyes," Victor instructed Amanda, who promptly obeyed. The descending battons and baseball bats were met with Victor's swift defense, blocking them with his arms. In a seamless sequence, he unleashed a barrage of punches and kicks, sending them all scattering through the air.Amidst the chaos, the woman's husband sank to his knees, a blend of fear and regret etched across his face. "Please forgive me, Boss," he pleaded in a desperate plea for mercy.His wife's voice pierced through the chaotic air, commanding, "Honey, why are kneeling? Deal with this stupid bastard!"Ignoring the commotion around him, Victor
After ensuring his family was comfortably settled at home, Victor promptly reached out to Manager Zain, delegating the responsibility of orchestrating the relocation of their properties from their former residence to Maple Villa. With that task underway, Victor then proceeded to drive directly to a nearby restaurant. Upon arrival, his attention was drawn to the familiar figure of Doctor Malik. Prior to Doctor Malik having the opportunity to reply, a woman's voice interjected into the conversation, stating, "Malik, you never mentioned that you were acquainted with him."Both Doctor Malik and Victor shifted their attention to the origin of the voice, discovering Josephine Cooper and her father who were just leaving.Dr. Malik wore a concerned expression as he asked, "Are you two acquainted?"Josephine promptly replied, "Malik, this is the mam who attended to my father's medical needs."The revelation caught Mr. Cooper off guard; he had not anticipated that the man who provided him me
Victor's ominous aura gradually faded away as he mustered a reassuring smile. "Let's address the initial concern, shall we? How can you be certain that I won't be defeated by James?"Doctor Malik, feeling a sense of relief now that the oppressive atmosphere had lifted, responded, "It's more of an intuitive feeling. Even if my family isn't in favor of supporting you, personally, I am committed to standing by your side."Victor chuckled, remarking, "I must admit, I didn't connect the dots quickly enough. The Campbells have a strong legacy in medicine, and given your background from one of the premier families, it had to be the Campbell family. Am I on the right track?"Dr. Malik nodded with a smile, responding, "Absolutely right. Our family tends to keep a lower profile compared to the other top families in MidRidge, we focus on treating.""Well, let me say this, if your Campbell family goes against me, i will not hesitate to deal with them. So with that said, are you still willing to b
Victor's voice turned cold as he addressed the leader of the group, asking, "Are you aware of the big mistake you've committed?" The leader met his gaze, responding with a hint of defiance, "Mistake? What are you talking about?" Victor, his tone laden with menace, emphasized, "You've made the grave mistake of capturing the wrong person."The leader of the kidnappers chuckled mockingly, "Hahaha, are you lacking intelligence or is there a malfunction in your head? Despite the fact that your mothe in law is currently in our custody, you audaciously choose to feign bravery or power."Victor maintained silence, swiftly extracting his phone and dialing Martin's number. Without uttering a word, he issued a concise command, "Wait for my signal!" before promptly ending the call."Allow me to propose an arrangement," Victor calmly addressed the group of kidnappers.The leader, displaying curiosity, inquired, "What exactly is this deal you're suggesting?"With a confident smile, Victor explai
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
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
