Hearing this, Isaiah was shocked, his face displaying utter astonishment. He glared at Riley and Broderick with murderous intent and coldly asked: “You dared to demand Mrs. Jake to apologize to you?" After hearing the entire story, Isaiah was incredibly shocked. What a joke, to think someone dared to make Mrs. Jake apologize in Onyx Vela district, his territory? It was good that he arrived in time, if Mrs. Jake had been mistreated. Isaiah would be done for. It must be known that Thomas III had repeatedly instructed to ensure Mrs. Jake and Young Master Jake's safety. If even a slight issue occurred, Isaiah would be held accountable. Someone of Mrs. Jake's high standing was practically tied to the life of Isaiah's entire household! "It wasn't like that... We just got angry and demanded Dulcie to apologize. We truly didn't mean it.” Riley hastily explained. Slap! Slap! Before they could finish their words. Isaiah delivered two sharp slaps to Riley and her husband's faces, caus
"My name is Franklyn, you must have heard of me. I've been to a few of your companies in Elysian Echo City, it's hard to meet you, isn't it?" Franklyn said thoughtfully. "Stop hiding from me, this game of hide and seek isn't fun at all.” Franklyn said nonchalantly: “Where is Theophilus now?" "We don't know where boss Jake is.” Jethro stated firmly: “If you want to talk to boss Jake, we will try to relay the message." "Oh? Don't know?" Franklyn looked at Jethro with a cold gaze: “Are you trying to force me to take action to pry it out?" "You, watch your tone. Boss Jake is not someone you can just meet if you want.” Richard said gravely, his eyes warily on Franklyn. "Not someone you can just meet if you want?" Franklyn chuckled coldly, his gaze mocking as he looked at Richard. "Do you think your boss Theophilus is so powerful? Daring to brag in front of me?" "I really don't have the patience to chat with you anymore. Your boss Theophilus is a turtle hiding in its shell, not daring
Thinking so, Theophilus couldn't help but gently stroke Dulcie's face. Dulcie seemed to sense something, her eyes fluttering open in a daze. The moment she saw Theophilus, her face lit up with immense joy. "Theophilus, you, you've woken up? Am I, am I not dreaming?" Dulcie quickly sat up straight, surprised. Theophilus laughed, gently pinching Dulcie's fair cheek, saying: “If you still feel like you're dreaming after this pinch, do you still think you're dreaming?" "What are you doing?" Dulcie pouted, slightly displeased, but her eyes were filled with immense joy, lovingly gazing at Theophilus. She suddenly moved forward to hug Theophilus tightly, as if she couldn't bear to let go. Dulcie silently hugged Theophilus like that, her heart filled with a sense of safety. Tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably. All of Dulcie's worries from the past few days instantly vanished. She felt it was divine providence, allowing Theophilus to wake up unharmed and appear before her. Th
"Phelan, you've worked hard these days, well done.” Theophilus said solemnly: "In a few days, I will give you a martial arts secret manual. After returning, earnestly practicing it will be very beneficial for you." It cannot go unsaid that during his coma, Phelan worked diligently, smoothly handling everything without missing a beat. Otherwise, upon awakening, he would have been like a blind man, knowing nothing. "Thank you, elder!" Phelan said, slightly excited, bowing deeply. For Earth-ranked experts like Phelan, ordinary wealth hardly moved him. But Theophilus rewarding him with a martial arts manual was indeed a stroke of luck. Phelan had personally witnessed the formidable strength of Theophilus, capable of killing the Black-Dragon King of Mysterious Royal-X. Moreover, the background of elder Theophilus was probably so complicated it was unimaginable. Not only did it make Mysterious Royal-X go through great lengths to kill and harm him, but he also had deep ties with the J
Phelan drove to the parking lot under the Oceanview Hotel building. The hotel's parking lot was filled with most of the county's luxury cars. People in Onyx Vela County seemed to favor off-road vehicles, with many prestigious license plates, almost like preparing for battle. Theophilus glanced around briefly before he and Phelan entered the hotel elevator. They quickly arrived at the restaurant on the sixteenth floor. The restaurant's decor was lavish, with soft red carpets on the floor, decorations in a classical style, landscape calligraphy paintings on the walls, and various luxurious items. Theophilus texted Dulcie, letting her know the address. Then he approached the reception desk. "Hello sir, may I know if you have reserved a private room?" the receptionist asked seriously. Phelan said: “Silver Lake." "Oh, I'll prepare the invoice for both of you, please make the deposit payment as required." While talking, the female receptionist observed Theophilus and Phelan, a hin
"Ha ha.” Humphrey laughed smugly, seemingly enjoying such a commanding scene. He slowly lit a cigarette and disdainfully looked at Theophilus and Phelan. "My patience has limits. You two shrimp better roll out of the Oceanview hotel yourselves, or if you anger me, you won't even have food to eat, just fish in the river.” Humphrey coldly said, his tone full of threats. No sooner had he finished speaking than Mr. Reed's men rushed forward, intending to attack Theophilus. "What do you think you're doing? Daring to hit someone?" Phelan stood in front of Theophilus, angrily scolding. He had not expected this group to be so brazen, truly a bunch of thugs. Having roamed the jianghu for many years, Phelan was not unfamiliar with the rules here. Clearly, the man before them, Mr. Reed, was the big shot in Onyx Vela County. Such people existed everywhere, thinking highly of themselves, expecting everyone to fear them. But in reality, they were like frogs in a well, never having seen the o
Theophilus smiled and took a bite, finding the flavor fresh and delicious, the meat in this part being the softest. "Theophilus, those people outside just now won't cause any trouble, right? It seems like they've added to your worries.” Dulcie said, looking slightly anxious. "Just some clowns jumping around, let's eat, no need to care about such trivial matters.” Theophilus indifferently said. "Yes.” Dulcie obediently nodded. The two continued to slowly enjoy their meal, chatting about a few trivial matters, the atmosphere very harmonious. In the dining hall outside the Silver Lake private dining room. It was extremely noisy at this moment. Humphrey had called dozens of people, who stormed into the restaurant. And Phelan alone blocked outside the Silver Lake room, throwing out anyone trying to barge in and cause trouble. Luckily, the soundproofing of the Silver Lake room was quite good, the noise outside not affecting Theophilus and Dulcie's meal at all. "Damn, that's some ne
"Dulcie, rest assured. I'll handle him.” Theophilus reassured Dulcie, who was lost in thought. "But you've just been discharged from the hospital, and your injuries haven't fully healed. I'm really worried.” Dulcie expressed her concern: "If it's really not okay, shall we leave Onyx Vela district first?" Theophilus showed confidence, which somewhat eased Dulcie's mind. But Theophilus was still slightly inconvenienced in his actions; could he handle such a formidable enemy? "Elder, shall we return to the district hospital?" Phelan also asked seriously. Deep down, Phelan never doubted Theophilus's abilities. He had witnessed the battle between Theophilus and the Black-Dragon King, which was truly terrifying. But now that the elder had just woken up from a coma, how much of his combat strength remained was a concern. Especially facing the enemy, including the young and distinguished Franklyn from the Jake family in Wolves, a renowned Earth-ranking warrior. This could be a bit tric
