Half an hour earlier, boss Jake had instructed Chris to bring people, and they had been waiting downstairs in the VIP room, ready for orders.The original plan was to call Chris over to discuss business.But now it seemed Chris would have to handle something else."What's with all this drama? You still act all high and mighty here, pretending to have power?" Renaldo looked at Theophilus with disdain: "Calling people over? Do you think you're someone important? You're just a country bumpkin!""Uncle Gonzalez, you see, that's how dishonest Theophilus is, probably used to hanging out with street thugs and thinking he's some big shot. Daring to call people to confront my father?" Scarlett's face showed disdain as she sneered: "Doesn't he know his place? What can a juvenile like him call for? I think he's embarrassing uncle Gonzalez right now!"Ridiculous, a nobody like Theophilus, relying on his connection with Joaquin, thinking he can reach the skies!Calling people over too?Doesn't he
"Father, you can't do this! What wrong has my brother done, that you want to cripple him? He just had a little conflict with that Jake guy! Father is a big shot in Radiant Harbor, wealthy and powerful, why should you fear someone like him?" Scarlett approached to persuade, not understanding why things had turned out this way.In their eyes, their father, Moshe, was one of the top figures in Radiant Harbor, the vice president of the Radiant Harbor Commerce Association! A major player in Meridian's grey area, respected by all the gangs!Yet, he was being pressured to the point of crippling his own son? And willing to do so?"Shut your mouth! Renaldo ended up like this because of your spoiling!" Moshe erupted in anger, coldly glaring at Scarlett: "If you dare say another word, I'll cripple you too!"As he finished speaking, Moshe gestured commandingly: "Seize that foolish kid for me."Immediately, several bodyguards in suits rushed forward, knocking Renaldo down and pinning him against t
Glass International Building.Nighttime.Theophilus had returned to his executive office.He sat in the director's chair, slowly closing his eyes in deep contemplation.Under the pale moonlight, Theophilus' face exuded a cold, lethal aura, chilling to the bone.In this silent moment.Unbeknownst to anyone, the door to the office had been opened at some point.A figure dressed in black appeared in the office, standing close to Theophilus.In the hallway outside the office, elite guards dressed in vests lay scattered on the ground.The entire vast building was eerily silent, the atmosphere heavy and tense.Theophilus slowly opened his eyes, his face as calm as an ancient well without a ripple, indifferently looking straight ahead.Theophilus spoke nonchalantly."You shouldn't have come here.""But we are already here."The leader in black stepped forward, his fierce and murderous face emerging under the silvery moonlight.He was a middle-aged man with wolf-like fierce eyes that almost g
Austin, as the Sect Leader with real power, supported someone other than Hayden, even competing with him for interests.Austin was also unclear why Hayden had suddenly come to Radiant Harbor and even personally visited the Glass Building. Could it be that he wanted to get involved in Theophilus' affairs?The situation at Radiant Harbor was becoming increasingly complicated!"Good question!" Hayden sneered, glancing at Austin: "If you already know the rules set by the Lightroom Sect leader, then let me tell you why I came to Radiant Harbor!""In the succession conference among the three Young Masters, I emerged victorious. Now, I, Hayden, am the sole Young Master of the Lightroom Sect!" Hayden declared boldly, arrogantly proclaiming: "By the decree of the Lightroom Sect leader, everyone must follow my orders, except for him!""What!" Austin's face showed utter astonishment, a sense of foreboding rising within him."So, so Young Master..." Austin's forehead was dotted with sweat, he hes
Bruno spoke with a strong desire to live, seeking refuge behind the Fragrant Master of the Lightroom Sect.The corner of Theophilus' mouth curved into a smirk: "I was just thinking of seeking out your Fragrant Master. Take me to him, and I'll spare your lives."He knew well that this group was merely a scouting party.A bunch of inconsequential pawns not worth killing.Theophilus' real target was the Fragrant Master of the Radiant Harbor Division of the Lightroom Sect, linked to Gabriel.Gabriel inviting the Lightroom Sect to confront him was a mistake revealing his vulnerability.Capturing the Fragrant Master would not only reveal Gabriel's whereabouts but also uncover crucial intelligence, given their covert collaboration.This was a big fish delivered right to his door."Fragrant Master, I am here, and I want to see what earth-shattering abilities Theophilus has! Daring to cripple the martial arts of my thirteen generals!"A booming voice reverberated through the office, like a son
"You have lost."Theophilus remained expressionless, relaxing his hand.Thud!The moment Theophilus released him, Austin collapsed to the ground, his body trembling uncontrollably, sweat streaming down his face, his eyes filled with horror.Austin was terrified.That single move had completely shattered him!Now, Austin felt as though the person before him was not human, but a great dragon coiling through the skies, overlooking the world with just a word capable of reducing him to dust.In front of Theophilus, he felt utterly powerless, weak, and helpless.The disparity in strength was overwhelming."I, I have lost..."Austin's eyes were dazed, his words trailing off.He lowered his prideful head before Theophilus, his mind blank, unsure of how to react.Theophilus' strength had shattered his perception and broken the pride he held on his martial path.Causing Austin to question his entire life."What's happening! The Fragrant Master, he couldn't withstand a single move?""Terrifying,
Nameless Phillips from Celestria? The Celestria Province, not far from Radiant Harbor, was a haven for hidden talents.Theophilus recalled the Phillips family of Celestria, a renowned martial arts dynasty, well-known among the secluded circles.At sixteen, he had traveled to Celestria and interacted with the Phillips family."Are you from the Phillips family in Celestria?" Theophilus asked calmly."Yes." Nameless replied seriously."Step down." Theophilus said indifferently: "Even your elder Phillips wouldn't dare speak such words in front of me.""What? Elder Phillips?"Nameless was startled, hesitating as he looked at Theophilus."Do you know our Elder Phillips?"Nameless, from the Phillips family in Celestria, knew that Elder Phillips had long since withdrawn from worldly affairs, and few knew of him.Even the Phillips family was modest externally, rarely seen by the public eye."Hasn't Caspian Phillips ever taught you that there are always mountains higher than the one you're on?"
"Let's see how much value you hold." Theophilus said indifferently: "Lead the way, and if Vincent is unharmed, you might just survive.""Young Master Jake, rest assured, although Vincent is imprisoned, we haven't been cruel to him! He's still alive!" Cameron said hastily.Theophilus quickly led the way to a luxurious mansion in New Scent Estate.Outside the mansion, several Southeast Asian men were being controlled by Austin's subordinates.Boom!Theophilus kicked the special material iron door of the mansion and entered.Inside, the mansion was brightly lit, and a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance was chained up.His body was covered in numerous wounds, bloodstains marring his tough skin, marked with bruises and whip scars.The floor was also stained with blood like mud.The scene was brutally grim.The chained middle-aged man was Vincent.Anger flared in Theophilus's heart, his eyes turning cold.Austin, knowing his place, went over and broke the chains, helping Vincent do
