The terrifying aura emanating from Theophilus frightened the James brothers to their core, their souls trembling in fear.Terrifyingly, he was like a god or a demon, a deity descended to earth!Someone as talented as him being called a deity wasn’t an overstatement at all!"Brother, what should we do now..." Manfred's voice trembled, he unconsciously stepped back, his face drained of all color in fear."What, the, the assassins… We arranged, they're all, all dead…” Raine stammered in fear, trying to maintain his composure but finding his tongue trembling.No one could remain calm witnessing such a scene.Theophilus walked towards Warren, his face completely devoid of emotion."You, don’t come here! What do you want!" Raine screamed, his usual heroic demeanor replaced by sheer terror.Even though Warren was accustomed to life and death and had caused rival families to drown in blood, he had never witnessed such a gruesome scene!In utter panic, Warren's legs gave out, and he collapsed
Theophilus's gaze deepened, now understanding the internal changes within the James family.Warren, responsible for the family's international power and resources, had been frequently traveling abroad, likely infiltrated by foreign forces.However, Theophilus was still unclear about the nationality and allegiance of the person known as "Divine Citadel."Hearing "Divine Citadel." Theophilus suspected some connection to an Island Nation's Eternal Shore, a country with centuries-old enmity towards Empyria and a history that had been forgotten.Particularly, the Island Nation had been monitoring and probing the Empyria region for a long time, a nation known for its cunning and devious strategies.After pondering, Theophilus said: "Take me to meet Elder Conal.""Yes! Elder Conal is in that building, grand elder, please follow me." Raine said, forcing a smile and speaking respectfully.Relieved that Theophilus did not seem intent on taking their lives for now, both Raine and Manfred sighed
"Elder James, I won't stay in Radiant Harbor for long, so I'm afraid I can't be bothered with the affairs of the James family." Theophilus indifferently declined.This response from Theophilus left Raine and the other kneeling on the ground stunned.They couldn't believe that Theophilus would bluntly refuse the elder, even dismissing the vast empire of the James Corporation in Radiant Harbor.For Elder James of the Radiant Harbor James family to personally request Theophilus to manage the family and to be rejected was unprecedented. If word got out, it would shock the secular world, and many might not believe that anyone would refuse such a vast legacy.Conal displayed a bitter expression, then earnestly pleaded: "Grand Patriarch Jake, I understand my request may be impolite. I am old and facing turbulent times in the family. I have lost the will to deal with worldly matters and have decided to retire to the mountains.""In the younger generation of the James family, there's no one el
The faces of the James family's high-level managers turned pale, their bodies beginning to tremble.Many of them had relied on Warren, depending on the second branch for a long time, planning to follow Warren for future prosperity. Unexpectedly, their backing mountain had suddenly collapsed.Moreover, Warren was his own son, personally nurtured by Conal himself. Why did it seem like Conal was eager for Warren's early demise? What secret lay behind this? After the senior elder's arrival at the James family, such complex and strange events had unfolded.Apart from being astonished, those from the James family present were full of questions. However, they dared not inquire further, as the matter seemed too significant, and with Conal emanating a fierce aura, no one wanted to bring misfortune upon themselves.For the moment, everyone present became obedient and cautious, sitting silently.Conal paused, then turned to look at Theophilus, who nodded at him. His face remained calm as he held
Theophilus asked: "Magnus, do you know what you should do?""All depends on the elder's decision." Magnus replied, sweat pouring down his forehead.Theophilus's face remained calm as he gestured to a black-clothed attendant standing by the door."Bring the knife here.""Bringing the knife? What! Elder, please be merciful!""Elder, please give us a chance!"Seeing a black-clad servant place a sharp knife on the table before Theophilus, Raine and Manfred were so frightened they jumped up, desperately begging for mercy.They had witnessed Theophilus's formidable power when he slaughtered over a hundred guards of the James family, a scene that would likely haunt them for life!The elder, appearing gentle and kind, was in reality a true demon, ruthless in killing!Theophilus showed no emotion, nor any pity for Raine and Manfred.These two had betrayed their own, shamelessly colluding with the traitorous Warren.Theophilus looked at Magnus and said indifferently: "Take the knife, kill those
That evening, Theophilus stayed at Utopia Springs, dining with Dulcie and chatting about the gemstone conglomerate.The next day, early morning.Theophilus instructed Hades to drive to the international building of the James Conglomerate in the Ministry area.Today, the James family in Radiant Harbor would announce to all the noble families in Radiant Harbor's elite circle and had already sent out invitations for a succession ceremony at the international building of the James Conglomerate!The purpose was to celebrate the new head of the James family assuming office, a mysterious elder.This news had shocked the entire elite circle of Radiant Harbor, as no one expected such a significant change in the James Conglomerate at Radiant Harbor. With Conal James in hiding, a mysterious elder from outside had taken over the vast business empire of the James Conglomerate.In Radiant Harbor, anyone with even a slight status among the elite and some high-ranking officials had received invitatio
"Did you two really think that relying on the James family, you could stand against me?" Theophilus laughed: "Have you forgotten? Being dragged out in Elysian Echo City and losing all your dignity?"As soon as the embarrassing incident was mentioned, Savannah and Nolan's faces turned red with shame and anger."You! How dare such a shameless scoundrel like you pull such stunts?" Savannah angrily exclaimed, seething at the thought of being mocked by this worthless Theophilus."And you dare talk about this? Do you think you're something special? You are just shameless! Last time I was at home, I had people turn half the city of Elysian Echo upside down looking for you, and you still dare to speak, weren't you scared out of your wits by me? And then you ran away?" Nolan raged accusingly.As far as he was concerned, Theophilus was a shameless scoundrel, a man without a shred of decency, who only made empty threats. Later, when Nolan personally sent people to find him, he had no idea where
"Exactly, just a couple of dogs borrowing their master's might and daring to be rude to Randall. They really don't know what's good for them!" Nolan also expressed his indignation: "Randall, with your connections and influence in Radiant Harbor, dealing with them should be just a trivial matter, right?"Both felt deeply humiliated, repeatedly oppressed by the useless Theophilus. How could they be content without seeking an opportunity for revenge?Randall snorted coldly, his face darkening with anger: "Of course, they've angered me now, and they surely won't end well! Let's go, I'll return to the Walker family and send people to wait for Theophilus to step out of the James building. We'll seize the opportunity to ruin him!"After finishing his words, Randall led the two into a red Ferrari and sped away from the James Conglomerate's international building. They were eager to return to the Walker family to mobilize their forces and deal with Theophilus.Meanwhile, on the third floor of
