While the two men talked, the other middle-aged men around them were silent, not daring to utter a word. Their faces showed fear, stunned as they gazed at the remnants of the cargo ships on the river.These men were the power holders of the second generation of the Panchak family, who had dropped everything and rushed here upon hearing the news.Wind was no exception. He looked at the devastation with amazement, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.Wind had his suspicions, but he hesitated to speak, as Theodore Panchak, his older brother and the head of the Panchak family, was present."Seal all news for now. No one talks too much to outsiders! Just announce that our cargo ships had an operational error leading to an oil depot explosion, and the Panchak family's maritime business continues as usual." Theodore Panchak regained his composure and commanded in a firm voice."Yes."Everyone present nodded in unison, no one daring to object.At this critical moment, as the head of the
"Amethyst told me you had been to Astral Junction? How's the Walker family doing now?" Oswald asked, sipping his tea."The Walker family situation is complicated. I've cured Bevis Walker’s illness but haven't interfered much beyond that." Theophilus replied.Oswald nodded: "That’s good. Curing Bevis Walker’s illness is enough help. And the incident at the Panchak family's Harmony River port, with their fleet destroyed, must have been a heavy loss. Did you do that?"Theophilus nodded, admitting: "Yes, I did."Oswald laughed: "No wonder old Horace, always so calm and composed, suddenly called me in a fluster, complaining non-stop.""You seem to have quite a bit of interaction with old Horace." Oswald said slowly: "He’s a man who seeks revenge for every slight. Having been bested by the younger generation like you, he surely won't let it go.""On the phone, he told me to take the lead and bring you to the Panchak family to explain things thoroughly. He also mentioned that out of respect
Theophilus remained composed, casting a brief glance over the group. They all seemed to have some background, a bunch of Young Masters and Young Mistresses. Was Amelia trying to fit in with this crowd by showing off?"What are you looking at? Being called a lowly bodyguard and still not accepting it? Amelia, you better teach him a lesson for me." the boy said aggressively: “If it were my house, a guard who doesn't obey would have had his legs broken by now!”"Young Master Byner, I apologize for this lowly bodyguard's rudeness." Amelia's face flushed with embarrassment and anger: "Theophilus, didn't you hear? Apologize to my friends right now! You're disrupting my gathering with them!""Amelia, is this guy an idiot? Never mind, let me teach this fool a lesson, show him how things are done." Young Master Byner said coldly.Smack!Hades struck Young Master Byner's face with a slap, sending him reeling off the sofa like a dog, his head turned to the side."You... you dare let someone hit
Amelia glanced at her classmates sitting with ugly expressions and asked: "Director Green, about that bill, what should we do now?"Rafael, with a disdainful attitude, said: "Boss Jake has already paid it off a long time ago. Besides, he has ordered that from now on, none of you sitting here are allowed to enter this bar street again.""If any of you dare to come here again, don't blame me for being inhospitable!"After saying this, Rafael left with a group of bodyguards in black suits.Rafael was very displeased with Amelia, finding her foolish and annoyingly aggressive.Even now, she was asking about the bill, which was so low-class.She didn't realize that the property on this street was under Mr. Jake's name. The Ethereal Eats international bar was also managed by his men.To put it bluntly, even his lowly subordinates could flaunt their wealth with just a word. And yet that foolish girl kept asking whether Mr. Jake had paid, as if asking whether the Emperor needed a golden bowl t
Dulcie had seen Theophilus's unparalleled talent and strength, and knew about his high status and family background.A man as outstanding as Theophilus would surely attract many beautiful women in Radiant Harbor.Moreover, Dulcie was in the dark about Theophilus's life and family in Radiant Harbor, knowing nothing about his past there.What if Theophilus had an old flame upon returning to Radiant Harbor?The more Dulcie thought, the more uneasy she became, anxious to return to Radiant Harbor and confront Theophilus.She immediately made a call to Theophilus.After a couple of rings, Theophilus answered."Hello, Theophilus, where are you right now?" Dulcie asked, sounding anxious."I'm on my way back to Utopia Springs." Theophilus replied."What happened tonight? Amelia called me, saying you bullied her?" Dulcie questioned."Amelia is not what she seems." Theophilus said indifferently."Oh? What do you mean?" Dulcie inquired: "I remember Amelia as always being talented and good-natured
Dulcie looked at Amelia with a complex expression, sensing her disdainful attitude towards Theophilus.Perhaps it was Amelia’s nasty attitude that made Theophilus unwilling to deal with her?And this Eleanor, she’s beautiful? Dulcie had never heard Theophilus mention her before. Where did she come from?Dulcie's heart was in turmoil, filled with doubts."Sister, if you don't believe me, you can call Theophilus here to confront me." Amelia continued to urge: "I saw him hand in hand, lips to lips with that woman, it was outrageous!"Dulcie's eyebrows knitted tightly upon hearing this, her heart torn with indecision, unsure of whom to trust."Sister, oh sister, I've been beaten up like this, I can't even face anyone at school anymore. You must help me get revenge." Amelia, seeing no reaction from Dulcie, immediately kept pushing: "Here in Radiant Harbor, I have no relatives, no one to help, if you don't help me, I don't know who to turn to.""I will get to the bottom of this, don't rush,
"Dulcie, if it weren't for Wolfgang's sake, I wouldn't bother speaking so much with a country bumpkin like you. And you, you better know your place..." Eleanor sneered before she could mock Dulcie further."Shut up!"Just then, a loud shout interrupted her, causing her to tremble and turn to look.Theophilus entered, his face cold, draped in a dark and solemn coat, from the door.He had received a report from Stanley, hearing that Eleanor had rushed to the Mid hotel immediately after arriving at Utopia Springs."Theophilus..." Seeing his face, Dulcie suddenly felt a sense of peace."Wolfgang, finally you're willing to show yourself. Just in time, everyone's here, let's clear everything up." Eleanor said nonchalantly."Aren't you going to stop?" Theophilus's eyes, cold as ice, darted towards Eleanor.Confronted with that icy gaze, Eleanor was inwardly startled and immediately fell silent."You really are troublesome. I've said it from the start, I don't want you disturbing my life any
“Oh my? Didn’t they say the Tranquil Oasis banquet was finished? What’s this, how can he eat like that, looking down on me?”Suddenly, a loud voice erupted. A young man in a haughty white coat approached Theophilus’s banquet table.Behind the young man in the white coat, a line of bodyguards in vests, all serious and stiff-faced, made a show of force.“What’s this? What’s the status of this brat? My servers are all ugly and common, yet a beautiful girl like her is serving tea and water to him?” the young man yelled, looking at Theophilus with displeasure, his face showing signs of inebriation.The eyes of the young man in the white coat revealed cunning as he glanced at Abigail standing next to Theophilus, his gaze trailing down her attractive legs, then turning to Dulcie's face. He licked his lips lecherously and arrogantly."Mr. Mathias Park, are you drunk? Don't you recognize me?", Abigail spoke to him, her face showing discomfort and a hint of fear towards the young man."Oh? I al
