At this time, in the main house of the Jake family.Grandma Jake sat in the master's chair, flanked by powerful figures of the Jake family.Emory stood on the left, and an old man with silver-white hair stood on the right."Having discussed for so long and yet you still can't reach a conclusion?" Grandma Jake slowly spoke up, her eyes squinting as she looked down at the descendants of the Jake family below."Mother, my point is that Newton's death is in the past, and we should not punish Theophilus heavily because of Newton anymore. It's inappropriate. According to the second elders, do you want to depose Theophilus as a warning? Wouldn't that mean the Jake family is diminishing its own talents?" The speaker was the white-haired old man, the eldest elder of the Jake family – Whitney Jake."Eldest elder, the person Theophilus killed was not your grandson, so of course, you would say that. If it were your descendant he killed, would you still be able to be so fair?" Emory coldly snorted
"Young Master Theophilus, your grandmother wishes for you to visit Elder Mirageon in the Jake family's celestial palace first." Tiffany said sternly outside the main house, looking at Theophilus."Meet Elder Mirageon?" Theophilus furrowed his brows."Yes." Tiffany nodded: "Your grandmother wants you to discuss with Elder Mirageon about the incident where you killed his disciple, then proceed to the main house to meet her with Ms. Miller."Pausing for a moment, Tiffany added in a serious tone: "Young Master Theophilus, your grandmother still favors you. Meeting Elder Mirageon is just to silence others, a mild reprimand at most. At worst, you'll just be disciplined by him."Theophilus nodded indifferently: "I understand.""Please lead the way, I will meet Mirageon."Seeing Theophilus's calm and collected demeanor, Tiffany was slightly taken aback.It's known that Theophilus had killed a disciple dear as a son to Mirageon, and now to meet this esteemed person from the Heaven ranking with
That year, Theophilus had also said, if fate allowed and there was a use for Mirageon, he would unseal his meridians.Over the years, Mirageon had used his connections to seek many renowned doctors, even going to the Gonzalez family at Quantum Ridge to meet the old medicine king Winfred, hoping to unblock his sealed meridians, but to no avail.Thus, in Mirageon's heart, Theophilus was a legend, a divine being. He even hoped to meet this great master, Theophilus, again so his martial arts could return to its peak.Theophilus glanced at Mirageon indifferently and said coolly: "If you are convinced, ignorance is not a sin, and I will no longer pursue your mistake.""Thank you for sparing my life." Mirageon said excitedly and respectfully.In his eyes, killing him was as easy as flipping a hand for Theophilus, whose strength was an enigma, and Mirageon dared not gamble with his life.At that time, Theophilus was still young, appearing quite ordinary, but the moment he made a move, it was
"Perhaps Mirageon has made his move, but Theophilus was able to handle it? Was he scared by him and dared not make a move again?", Normand speculated, also puzzled.Both of them had been extremely eager to witness Theophilus's downfall, to see him being stripped of his martial arts and struggling.But unexpectedly, Theophilus appeared before them without a scratch.You can imagine how displeasing this was!"Unbelievable, unbelievable!", Emory kept shaking his head, unwilling to accept: "Mirageon is a grandmaster who founded a sect, once a top expert on the Heaven Board for all we know! And he couldn’t discipline a single Theophilus?""Do I have to find an opportunity to deal with Theophilus myself?""Second Elder, don't rush, let's return and ask Mirageon what happened! If he doesn’t clarify, then deal with that half-crippled old man once and for all!", Normand said: "For now, the lady wants to meet Theophilus and assign him some tasks, we still have a chance to retaliate!""Retaliate
"What's this about?" Grandma frowned at Emory: "Theophilus and Newton had a fight, I was very fair. If Newton had killed Theophilus, I wouldn't have punished Newton either. If the boy is not as skilled, what can I do to help him? This matter is over, and no one is allowed to mention it again!""Of course, the Jake family has its rules. I favor neither Newton nor Theophilus, I will let Theophilus handle the matter with the Solar Syl Valley on his own.""Alright, let's leave it at that, call Mr. Mirageon in! Theophilus, you talk about this matter with your enemy, and decide what to do on your own, after all, I can't help you. Consider this a kind of test for you." Grandma decisively said.After that, everyone present fell silent.Grandma's stance was very clear.On the surface, it seemed like she wasn't protecting Theophilus, but in reality, this action was a form of covert protection.Grandma squinted at Theophilus.Her initial plan wasn't like this; she intended to find a way to persu
Even though Theophilus has connections with Mysterious Royal-X and great strength, at this crucial moment, only the Jake family could offer him help.This is why the grandmother firmly decided to make Theophilus a candidate for the heir.Because only then could they attract a talented person like Theophilus.The grandmother paused for a moment and then continued: "Eldest son, who do you think is better, Theophilus or Ernesto?""This..." Whitney's expression became more cautious.The grandmother's questions were very sensitive.Jake family's Oldest Young Master, Ernesto Jake, is currently Theophilus's only rival.Oldest Young Master Ernesto is now over thirty years old, very prestigious within the Jake family in Wolves, Ernesto's temperament is more mature than Newton, with broad connections, a person of complete talent and virtue, Ernesto holds a very high status in the Jake family.Ernesto's background is also extremely dramatic.He was not born from the orthodox Jake family, but is
"Theophilus, hello, my name is Ernesto." Ernesto said first with a smile: "In terms of seniority, I am older than you, but there isn't much age difference between us, so let's treat each other as equals in the future."In the reclusive world, there's an unwritten rule that seniority doesn't depend on age but on martial prowess.Meaning, in the martial world, strength determines one's standing, not age.Theophilus said: "Hello, Ernesto.""The Oldest Young Master, please sit down and have some tea, then we can talk." Seymour said hospitably.Ernesto smiled and said: "Twelfth uncle doesn't need to be so formal, I didn't come today for tea. The elder lady sent me to deliver a message to Theophilus."After speaking, he looked at Theophilus, his expression turning serious: "Theophilus, the elder lady orders you to go to Celestria within three days to resolve the Phillips family matter. Related information will be given to you when you arrive at the Jake corporation in Celestria.""It seems
Five minutes later.They arrived at the reception on the twenty-eighth floor."What did you say? You people are here to take over the Walter Gemstone Corporation? Lady, are you out of your mind? Haven't you looked at yourself, what a joke?"A female secretary in a vest looked at Dulcie with disdain, her cold laugh filled with mockery.Theophilus, sitting on a sofa, slightly frowned and said: "Call the company's director to talk to me.""You want to meet Director Rhodes? Look at yourself, who do you think you are to demand a meeting with Director Rhodes? Do you know how busy Director Rhodes is? He's out dining with economic leaders today, he doesn't have time for nobodies like you." the secretary said with disdain, her head held high.She judged Theophilus's non-brand clothing and immediately categorized him as worthless.Usually, she welcomed VIPs who helped the director, everyone dressed neatly, with an extraordinary demeanor.How could Theophilus compare?Daring to claim he was here
