The Emergence of Raphael Gauthier CHAPTER 164: TWIST OF EVENT
Expectedly the call was cut short by the caller while the ten-minute countdown had already begun.Raphael Gauthier breathed out heavily in complicated emotions, his gaze a little bit lowered.Just ten minutes ago his aura was brightened with the banging of the partnership business deal. How swiftly the emotional state of the Great Healer was altered within moments.His thoughts were with his grandfather as he wondered what exactly would be done to him and how the kidnappers could treat him.Importantly, his mind delved into the abduction method of his father. He didn't know where and when exactly it occurred.‘Was he kidnapped in the mansion? The security personnel are always on alert. Could they have been overpowered by the kidnappers?’‘Could they have kidnapped him on the street? Gosh!’The Great Healer had conflicting thoughts entertained in his heart. The more concerned he was the more engrossing questions he pondered on.The caller would call back within nine minutes and he knew
The Emergence of Raphael Gauthier CHAPTER 165: THE DEMAND
The words managed to come forth as the voice broke at intervals.Raphael Gauthier perceived beyond the broken voice and had a hint that the caller was familiar. He made sure the call was on loudspeaker.“Young… Young Master. It's Grandfather's driver.”The driver finally revealed himself, which got Celine, Beniot, and Raphael Gauthier all alerted to hear what he had to say next.“We were ambushed on our way to the office and The Boss was kidnapped while my phone was stolen.”“They kept me alive 'cause they insisted my life was worthless to them.”“I managed to get a passerby's cell phone to initiate a conversation. Young Master, I'm sorry I couldn't protect Grandfather. They were high in numbers and I didn't have a chance to stop them.”The driver explicitly gutted out as his tone engrossed in a teary state. He had been fighting for the last minute on a call not to break into deep emotions.Benoit didn't know when he snaked his hands around the neck as fear took a greater part of him.
The Emergence of Raphael Gauthier CHAPTER 166: BLUNT DEMANDS
Raphael Gauthier planned on indicting the caller in spilling his name. From the conversation thus far he noticed that the caller had installed a voice changer app, which had made it rather impossible to deduce who exactly he was.Without being told, Raphael Gauthier could perceive that the caller knew him well enough to titter as much as he did.For his subjects to ambush his grandfather simply meant they had kept close eye contact with the mansion. If not, how would they have known when Jacques Claude Gauthier was leaving for the office?“Smart one Raphael. Really a smart one. It's my challenge to have ever underestimated you and I wouldn't again.”“I would call you exactly one hour from now to remind you of how time is evidently against you.”“Raphael Gauthier, if I were you. I would endeavor to find the necessary legal resignation documents and transfer of ownership.”“And for the name you'd use. You can use anonymous. I would change the name of the company if I deem it necessary.”
The Emergence of Raphael Gauthier CHAPTER 167: MARGOT FOURNIER
A voice promptly responded from the other end of the call.The voice from the call aroused the interest of Raphael Gathuier, Celine, and Benoit.Raphael Gauthier had a strong belief that Margot should have known him from his she confidently called him: “The Great Healer.”“Mary? You know me?”He interestingly inquired as his eyebrows were raised in anticipation of her response.Celine breathed out a little bit in relief that her boss adhered to her stance and picked up the call. If he hadn't, maybe Margot wouldn't be communicating with him right away.“Great Healer. You do know me.”“I'm your ex-wife's best friend. I'm Chloe Moreau's best friend.”Margot re-emphasized for a better understanding of who she is. She presumed that Raphael Gauthier should have crossed part with a lot of Margots but reminding him of who she is was the best option.Raphael Gauthier had his left finger drumming on his tights as he uncontrollably pondered who she was and how to manage when she got his contact.
The Emergence of Raphael Gauthier CHAPTER 168: LAURENT'S COMEBACK?
‘Laurent Moreau has been released?’‘What a blatant joke!’‘Laurent?’Raphael Gauthier uncontrollably engaged in an internal monologue as the information of Laurent Moreau's freedom from six months struck his consciousness.Nothing about the information seemed real because The Great Healer knew Laurent Moreau, his wife, and other culprits had about two months more to serve before being released.‘Young Master must be prepared for Laurent Moreau. He has already sent a strong message!’Benoit in a few seconds of in-depth thoughts had to mutter those words to himself while everyone else dwelled in thoughts including Margot the caller.His thoughts wallowed far and wide as the incident kept getting quite engrossing and unpredictable.Little wonder, the caller who made the demands sounded so confident and could titter without hesitation because he had crossed paths with him.Also, when the caller expressed his words as: “I once underestimated you. I wouldn't again!”It was simply Laurent M
The Emergence of Raphael Gauthier CHAPTER 169: MARGOT'S IMPACT
DING DONG!“And I wouldn't hesitate to divulge his location if you wish.”Margot Fournier boldly expressed with her right finger holding onto her cell phone.Goosebumps ran deep across Celine's shoulders and had her head shaky in disbelief.Benoit who had his two hands nervously placed on his thighs in inward prayers didn't know when he folded his two arms together in deep shock.The last information unleashed by Margot Fournier was beyond their expectations. When they presumed that worse scenarios could have occurred that very day.Unbeknownst, Margot Fournier had further information that could help salvage the situation depending on the actions Raphael Gauthier chose to employ.“All I need is a go-ahead to spill the whole news just as I garnered.”Margot Fournier reiterated once more with a firm tongue while leaving the ball in Raphael Gauthier's court.Raphael Gauthier to an extent was engulfed with the ultimate play in action that he couldn't vehemently deduce the thought patterns
The Emergence of Raphael Gauthier CHAPTER 170: HE HAS SPOKEN!
Raphael Gauthier perceived the thoughts wallowing in their hearts but kept his cool while inhaling and exhaling calmly.Notably, he anticipated such a response from Celine and Benoit who had just known him as a Great Healer and not personnel who indulged in rescue missions.[Shouldn't that be a mission constitutionally bestowed on the police force?]Raphael Gauthier aimed at the greater good just the same way the world reckoned him a Great Healer; he intended to embed a precedent in Martial arts.[Would he succeed?]“We're five minutes away from the live location,” Benoit the butler cum driver did the usual by notifying the young master.Raphael Gauthier nodded his head with his eyes intentionally closed while he communed with The Ark Tiger entity. Time for several speeches has been duly exhausted; it's time to prove his worth as the most exceptional member of the esteemed body.[Who much is given; much is also expected]Celine and Benoit had pondering questions they'd love to engage
The Emergence of Raphael Gauthier CHAPTER 171: RESCUE MISSION PART 1
“Huh? Save your grandfather?”Margot Fournier shockingly expressed with a hitch of breath while she popped her eyes on Ralphael Gauthier, Celine, and Beniot.Celine and Benoit shook their heads in concern and exhaled deeply in confusion.“I didn't communicate with you about your father's abduction to have you dead. No! I can't watch you make such a mistake.”Margot Fournier mouthed further as she took two steps towards him still popping her eyeballs out in disbelief.“Just stay behind and keep the police force notified once they arrive in less than five minutes. Alright?”Raphael Gauthier impassively responded with a calm tone while maintaining his sight on the challenge before him.“Police? Did you inform the police? I thought Laurent Moreau warned against that?”She abruptly flinched and stood at one spot with her head squeezed in perplexity.Once again she uncontrollably glanced at three faces standing before her while she asked that question.“Oops! I need to rescue my grandfather

“In the course of the investigation, the president of France and other ambassadors from five South American countries got involved when they learned the esteemed Grand Lord, Raphael Gauthier, was also in the contest with The Ultimate Branded Champagne.”“I’m here to announce to y'all that we've acquired implicating evidence that over the last half a decade, Alexandre Petit has continually connived with twenty high-ranked staff of the European Winery Exhibition Contest to condemn justice and fairness, which has made him the winner in consecutive occasions!”The crowd slammed their voices in anger as they booed at Alexandre Petit with disdainful tongues.“In this year's edition, he had an accomplice by the name of Lucas Moreau, months back in agreement, they attempted to assassinate Raphael Gauthier and his stepbrother, Hugo Lambert. We have all the evidence and there's no hiding and running for them.Immediately his voice echoed. Multiple police officers who had strategically positione

CHAPTER 195: THE CONFESSION
“I don't care if I die the next minute or get arrested and pay for my crimes. As long as I divulge what has been hidden for decades, then my part has been done,” Hugo mouthed with a short gasp breath, his face gripped with sweat as he held onto his step-older brother.All along, Raphael had presumed his younger stepbrother was bluffing about having information to spill. It seemed like he had finally gotten his attention.“Really? You got any information?” his brows raised in keenness.Agathe waved at the medical personnel who sheepishly departed from the room. They had already overstayed. It's family time!“Yes, I do, dear brother…”“I know none of my words would change the past and the evil I've done to you, which led to the death of your mother, banishment, and many others, including sleeping with your ex-wife,” he spilled those hard words out. And once again, the ugly past flashed before Raphael’s face.Agathe strode towards him and patted his shoulder; she understood how painful i

CHAPTER 194: A DRY COUGH: A NEW BREATH
For the greater good of his power and what it believes in, Hugo Lambert should be saved by his older stepbrother despite the pains he has inflicted. GrandLord Raphael Gauthier, in a state of pain and anger, understood that and had to do the needful.‘Hugo you've fought so hard against death. Time to come back to us,’ GrandLord Raphael Gauthier communioned with the deteriorated state of Hugo Lambert.He believed he could hear his words. One of the containers had a well-prepared honey with herbal ointment in it as his inner power whispered what he should do.Agathe Lambert muttered a thousand prayers in her heart as her hands shook in fear. She might not be a great fan of Hugo from inception but she wouldn't want him dead either. The medical personnel stood in disorientation as they beheld the unprecedented movie being played before their eyes.GrandLord Raphael Gauthier signaled Agathe Lambert, who assisted in slightly opening Hugo's mouth to enable him to pour the herbal medicine insi

CHAPTER 193: A FLASH OF THE PAST
Agathe Lambert was struck in a state of slight confusion and vibrantness. She quickly strode towards where Hugo Lambert had laid for over a week as his health deteriorated. The medical renowned doctors followed behind to witness what would unfold sooner.It wasn't a pretense that the medical experts had little or no hope of what the GrandLord could do differently. They engaged in indistinct communication amongst themselves while their faces were etched with doubts, disbelief, and slight confusion.Grand Lord Raphael Gauthier stood face to face before his stepbrother. He exhaled deeply with his eyes intentionally closed while he trailed his oil-soaked right finger on his chest towards his abdomen back to his chest and throat.Agathe Lambert instantly wondered what Raphael's right finger was doing on Hugo's chest. She somewhat feared that he might want to avenge what happened to his late mother. The medical personnel maintained their indistinct conversations with their heads and eye gou

CHAPTER 192: HE’S HERE!
She knew GrandLord Raphael Gauthier was quite an intentional human and wouldn't mouth those unexpected words if he didn't mean them. Nonetheless, she couldn't control how astonished she seemed.For a moment she gave up on GrandLord Raphael Gauthier ever believing her about Hugo Lambert or what he had to tell him. She believed the past ugly incident would cloud his judgment on believing her.“The more time we waste the less chance he has to survive the poison,” GrandLord Raphael Gauthier quickly spoke out.He promptly offered Agathe Lambert his right hand as an aid to lift herself off the ground. He went ahead and offered her a white handkerchief to wipe off her tears while she made efforts to stand.The driver had his mouth slightly opened at how he thought he'd soon head back to the mansion or the office. However, his boss had other plans for the day.“Why the sudden change of heart? I could swear you would have zoomed off without looking back,” Agathe Lambert hinted as her eyes popp

CHAPTER 191: RECONSIDERATION
He tutted his lips even more in disagreement and displeasure with his lips curved in disbelief and contempt. He shook his head more often while anticipating what Agathe Lambert would say next.She wasn't making any single sense with her words about Hugo Lambert's poisoned state and his request to speak with him. Agathe Lambert temporarily went speechless while glancing at him and other gatekeepers who could grasp the building conversations.“Drop this trick to get me to heal him 'cause that's not happening. He caused the death of my mother. You wasted your time in making me come over,” GrandLord Raphael Gauthier blurted out while taking a step backward.He felt there were no more words left unsaid with his younger step-sister and got to head back to the mansion or, better still, see how Pierre was handling business in his absence.It was better than being at the wrong time at the wrongest time. Driving from the mansion on Agathe Lambert's request seemed like a waste of time.“Good day

CHAPTER 190: HE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY?
“Several medical professionals have conducted several diagnoses, but he's none responsive to their treatments,” Agathe Lambert, after a few moments, uttered more words to establish clarity.She had anticipated to bark at her immediately when she uttered the last words or even an immediate response which he didn't. Hence, she had to delve back to words that would build stamina to whatever his thought organs were entertaining.GrandLord Raphael Gauthier intentionally kept mute and steadily set his sight on her believing she got more words unspilled. His eyebrows were raised more with his two hands placed across his waist while trying to make sense of where Agathe Lambert was driving.“Hugo?” he somewhat mouthed with his eyes blinking. “Poisoned?” His last words followed with a question. “By who?” GrandLord Raphael Gauthier promptly inquired with a somewhat calmer tone. “When?” he went further in striding towards the path of questions.Questions engrossed in inquiries which was all Grand

CHAPTER 189: AGATHE'S SKEPTICISM
GrandLord Raphael Gauthier hastily mouthed with his eyebrows raised in building annoyance. He kept his sight steadily on Agathe Lambert striving to make meaning to her last statement. He knew she wasn't joking but needed a form of clarity in her speech.Agathe Lambert vividly remembered all that transpired between Grandlord Raphael Gauthier and Hugo and should be the last person to make such statements when the GrandLord is concerned.Agathe Lambert was somewhat confused about what to respond with as her gaze quickly dropped off. She reactively took two steps backward in perplexed thoughts. GrandLord Raphael Gauthier was swift enough to understand his younger step-sister's last action. He positioned his hand in an akimbo posture while still glaring at her.“I left my mansion for Hugo? That betrayer? You're kidding huh?” GrandLord Raphael Gauthier mouthed once more but his voice heightened this time.Still maintaining his body posture, he took one step forward in search of a response f
