While en route, Victor messaged Martin, instructing him to dispatch individuals to retrieve the cars and park them in a garage near Evo Electronics.Upon contacting Diana, he learned she wasn't at home but at the hospital, prompting him to drive there himself.Arriving at the hospital, Victor unwittingly drew attention; a poorly dressed man in a lavish vehicle stood out remarkably.Adding to the surprise, the vehicle happened to be a BMW, a clear symbol of opulence that diverged from the ordinary.Disregarding the onlookers, Victor nonchalantly entered the hospital, making a beeline for his daughter's ward.As he approached the ward's entrance, a smile illuminated Victor's face at the heartwarming sight of his daughter awake, engaged in playful banter with Diana and Elizabeth.Instead of entering the hospital ward immediately, Victor opted to step outside briefly. He made his way to a nearby children's store, where he purchased a delightful pink Teddy bear. Upon returning to the hosp
Within minutes, Zion pulled up in Victor's recently acquired, stylish BMW i8—a customized gift from Martin. Victor's face lit up with a smile as he admired the car, finding it to be an ideal reflection of his personal taste and preferences. Shortly thereafter, Elizabeth joined them outside the hospital, and the trio hopped into the sleek vehicle, swiftly departing towards their next destination.Following Elizabeth's guidance, Zion navigated the winding roads for an hour and thirty minutes until the car could no longer proceed. They stopped on the mountainside, surrounded by breathtaking scenery.As the trio descended from the vehicle, Victor inquired, "Is this where your father resides?"Elizabeth affirmed with a nod, explaining, "Yes, he's been adamant about staying up here even before he fell ill. He claims to be waiting for someone."Victor, while wary, trusted Elizabeth's intentions. Yet, his cautious nature prompted a furrowed brow. Nevertheless, reassurance came from having Z
Upon hearing the old man's utterances, Zion swiftly positioned himself in front of Victor. Since entering the cave, he had sensed an intense energy emanating from both the old man and the young boy, instigating a sense of caution within him.Elizabeth's countenance morphed into a frown as she urgently exclaimed, "Father!"Attempting to diffuse the tension, her father composed himself and offered an apology, "I apologize if my demeanor seemed confrontational. I genuinely value your assistance. If not for you, I would be dying soon, so thank you." The old man bowed at the end of his words.Victor acknowledged the weight of the ring encircling his finger, prompting him to ask, "What do you know about this ring?"Butler Kain, the butler of the Parker family, had previously informed Victor that the ring was an inheritance from his late mother. Little did Victor realize, the ring held deeper layers of significance.Elizabeth's father, a man of discernment, cast his gaze across the room, si
While the vehicle somersaulted, Zion, positioned at the forefront, bore the brunt of the impact but swiftly shielded Victor with his own body—a testament to his quick reflexes and sense of duty.As the chaotic tumbling came to an end, Zion, having absorbed much of the crash's force, found himself wounded by sharp fragments of shattered car glass that had pierced his body.Despite the immediate danger, there was no time for respite. Zion's heightened instincts detected approaching adversaries, identified as formidable cultivators. In his prime, handling such opponents would have been a breeze, yet his current internal injuries presented an unforeseen challenge.As Zion prepared to exit the car, the air was filled with the subdued echoes of what seemed to be a fierce altercation. Peering through the window, his eyes captured a scene that sent shivers down his spine—it was the same young boy they had encountered at Moke's cave. The intensity of the boy's combat skills startled Zion; h
After making a stop at the hospital, Zion underwent a thorough examination, and his visible injuries received proper attention.As they settled into the car, Zion inquired about their next course of action, "So, young master, what's your plan moving forward?"Victor who was seated at the driver's seat of the car had a cold expression on his face as he stery responded, "We fight back."Contemplating the recent events, Zion probed further, "Do you believe Julius Wilson is behind this?"Victor's tone grew more resolute as he affirmed, "Absolutely. While I lack direct evidence, the orchestrations bear his signature. He's orchestrating this through others, but my instincts tell me he's the mastermind. Considering the multitude of reasons he has and his status as my primary enemy, it's highly likely. But this time, he messed with the wrong enemy."Prior to initiating the car's engine, Victor took a moment to dial Martin's number. "Hello, ensure that one of the Wilson family's factories goes
Boss Kent, who was on the opposite end of the line, found himself contemplating Victor's statement regarding the completion of reason two. In that very moment, a subordinate rushed into the room with urgency, exclaiming, "Boss Kent, there's significant news – a fire has engulfed one of the Wilson family's factories. This presents a strategic opportunity for us to inflict substantial harm on them."Boss Kent's reaction was instantaneous upon hearing the news, a brief pause freezing him in place. Nevertheless, he swiftly regained composure, asserting, "No action on our part for now. We're likely to become their primary suspect at this juncture."The subordinate reassured, "Boss, it was a mishap caused by their workers, not an orchestrated external attack."Had Boss Kent not received the call from Victor, the initial assumption in his mind would have aligned with the possibility of the fire being an accident.Victor was able to make the attack look like an accident. Making mistakes was
After nearly three hours of driving, Victor arrived at a seemingly isolated location, guided by Moke to park the car. As the trio stepped out of the vehicle, Moke extended a welcome, declaring, "Welcome to the Warden Clan."Perplexed, Victor arched an eyebrow and inquired, "Warden Clan? Is that the name of the village?"Affirmatively, Moke nodded in response to Victor's question.Victor voiced his confusion, "But where's the village? I only see bushes."Moke grinned, encouraging him, "Take another look."Upon a second glance, Victor's perspective shifted, revealing a bustling village with people engaged in various activities. It appeared unremarkably ordinary, lacking any distinctiveness.Victor frowned as he said, "I have two questions. Firstly, why was I unable to see the village earlier? Secondly, it appears rather ordinary and plain, unlike my expectations."Moke grinned and explained, "To address your first question, the village's concealment was a clever illusion orchestrated b
Two days later, within the confines of Diana's residence in MidRidge, a tempest of emotions unfolded. Gina, Diana's mother, vented her frustrations and discontent towards Victor with a barrage of curses and insults. "That useless husband of yours, incapable of getting anything right! My friends have sons in law who are prosperous, with lavish cars and esteemed professions. Yet, fate cursed me with such a worthless son in law, and now, when he should be present, he flees. Diana, you must divorce him. I won't tolerate that impoverished failure in this household."Diana, grappling with her own frustrations, retorted, "Mom, that's enough. Victor is making an effort. Besides, didn't he recently assist you in securing fifty thousand dollars? You squandered it all in one go."Gina, seething with anger, responded, "So what! Other sons-in-law shower their mothers-in-law with far more and lavish them with expensive gifts. You are divorcing him, and that's final, unless you want me to take dras
