Thump, thump, thump! The sound of relentless punches and kicks filled the air as the three Edric brothers and Christopher fiercely battled each other. Neither side managed to gain an advantage, as they were deeply immersed in their swift exchange of punches and kicks. Indeed, it was an extraordinary contest of skills. Though Christopher was well over sixty years old, he had been a top martial artist in Elysian Echo in his younger days and could easily fend off the attacks from the Edric brothers. A swooshing sound rang out! With a flick of his sleeve, Christopher sent a cloud of dust hurtling toward the three Edric brothers. Caught off guard, sand particles infiltrated their eyes, impairing their vision and leaving them entirely unprepared for Christopher's underhanded move. Thump, thump, thump! Seizing the opportunity, Christopher rushed forward, landing a powerful punch to Edric's stomach. Coughing up blood, Edric's body flew several meters away before collapsing on the groun
"Damned Christopher, what do you want? Damn! You're truly shameless!" Edric couldn't help but curse loudly: "You claim to be a martial arts master but resort to threatening an unarmed girl with a gun. Are you even human? Disgusting!" "Ha ha, those who achieve great things often ignore trivial details." Christopher coldly laughed, his face beaming with satisfaction. "I'm the Unrivaled Fist Champion, and victory is all that matters. Even if I'm despicable and shameless, what can any of you do to me?" Christopher disregarded his honor and said: "If you dare, come at me, and I'll kill her immediately!" "You!" Dulcie was so angry that her body trembled. She had never encountered such a despicable person, especially a sixty-year-old martial arts grandmaster who even founded a sect. Dai and Edric's brothers all wore pained expressions, feeling incredibly guilty, angry, and frustrated. Christopher's shamelessness exceeded everyone's imagination. Just a second ago, he was kneeling on the g
“Richard, why make a big deal over a woman? Let’s do this - you sit down, and we’ll talk. Bring some tea for Richard.” Simcha’s voice softened a bit, and he spoke seriously. Richard snorted coldly, pulled out a chair, and sat in the main hall. Edric and his brothers stood behind him, carefully guarding Dulcie to prevent any misfortune from befalling her. Theophilus had warned them he would arrive soon. Before he arrived, they couldn’t allow any harm to come to Dulcie. “Richard, I can show you some respect and not make things difficult for you, but this woman named Dulcie must stay here. Even if I have to pay compensation, she must be ruined!” Simcha spoke with malice, determined to help his son and nephew vent their anger. Richard coldly stared at Simcha, about to say something, when suddenly a figure in a windbreaker appeared before him, frightening him. Theophilus had arrived silently. Just like that, he stood in the Jones’ main hall, his face not revealing any emotion. “Who a
"What is going on?" Maynard couldn't believe it, even suspecting the older man might be mentally ill. Why would he kneel before that useless Theophilus and then come and hit him? "What? You shut up, you disgraceful thing. Who gave birth to you? Our Jones family doesn't have someone as mixed-up as you! From now on, you don't bear the Jones name, nor are you a part of the Jones family. If you dare say it, I'll kill you!" Simcha seemed insane, grabbing a stool and angrily throwing it at Maynard's face, hitting him relentlessly. He appears to be attacking an enemy, leaving Maynard's face bruised and swollen and Maynard constantly crying out in pain. Although Simcha was in his seventies or eighties, Maynard had just left the hospital, half dead, and couldn't muster the strength to fight back against his grandfather. He could only dodge and take the hits. "You still dare to dodge? If you dodge again, I'll beat you to death!" Simcha said menacingly, genuinely resembling a madman. He grab
Simcha stood up and angrily said: "Lagan, Maynard, Layla, Garrick, you four! Get out of the Jones' house now! I will freeze all of your assets and confiscate all your wealth! I will announce to Elysian Echo's upper-class society that you are no longer part of the Jones family!" "Have you heard me? Moreover, if you dare to reveal even the slightest detail about today's events, I won't need Mr. Jake or Richard to act. I'll kill you myself!" Simcha threatened fiercely. "Hmm, Mr. Jones is quite ruthless too." Richard said calmly: "Let me add one more thing for the four of you to hear clearly! There is no place for you in Elysian Echo, no company will give you a job, and you can only beg on the streets! Got it? If you dare to leave the city, you'll die immediately!" "This is... this is..." The faces of the four turned pale as if the sky had fallen. They staggered and collapsed to the ground. So cruel! The four of them had been accustomed to the life of a wealthy family and couldn't ev
"What? This is the useless Theophilus you mentioned?" Suddenly, a young, scantily clad, and seductive girl sitting on the sofa turned to look at Theophilus with a disdainful expression. "Ha ha, someone like you dares to marry my cousin? Are you even a good match? Can't you look at yourself? Are your clothes even worth five hundred dollars?" The young girl mocked. Dulcie's face darkened, and she said: "Molly, can you please watch your words? This is your brother-in-law." "Ugh, sis, look at him. Does he deserve you?" Molly became even more insolent. At this moment, another young man dressed flamboyantly, wearing earrings, sporting dyed blond hair, and a proud look, walked down the stairs, holding a stylish girl in his arms. He glanced at Theophilus with disdain and said: "Oh? Sis, is this guy Theophilus? What a piece of trash! Now that you're so wealthy, why keep such a useless person in the house?" "Ron, shut your mouth!" Dulcie scolded, feeling embarrassed as she looked at Theophi
Dulcie's face showed her helplessness after leaving the mansion and the Dragon Snow neighborhood. She glanced at Theophilus, who remained silent. "So, Theophilus, where will you take my sister for dinner? Don't tell me it's a roadside restaurant. I don't see you having any money. Never mind, let me treat you tonight. I'll call my boyfriend to pay for it, and you two can choose the place." Molly said arrogantly. She was determined to show off her capabilities in front of Dulcie. Who did she think she was, anyway? A famous gemstone designer in Elysian Echo? It wasn't worth anything. It would be better to find a rich husband instead. Now that she had been fired, she couldn't even help her find a job anymore. Molly's expression grew smugger and smugger as she thought about this. She didn't hold back in evaluating Dulcie, feeling incredibly beautiful and confident that she had snagged a wealthy young man far more accomplished than Dulcie would ever be. "No need, Molly. You all go eat."
At that moment, a young man in a vest approached with a respectful smile. He was about to greet Theophilus when he saw Reginald, and his face revealed a hint of hesitation. Reginald pompously and arrogantly said: "Dulcie, don't think your money can buy everything. Let me inform you I'm a major shareholder here, and our family, the Marks, have a significant stake in this corporation. Here's a rule: this store refuses to sell its necklaces to dogs, Theophilus, and Dulcie!" "Ha ha! Dulcie, see? Even with some spare cash, it's useless. You can't buy it even if you want to." Molly said smugly, feeling superior and flaunting her authority before Dulcie. "What are you talking about? You've gone too far!" Dulcie fumed, stomping her foot, her face flushed with anger. Theophilus remained emotionless, glancing at the young man standing behind Reginald. If this person hadn't arrived, he might have broken all of Reginald's teeth, but since someone had already come, he'd give him a chance to de
