In the spacious room, a palpable tension lingered between them. The air seemed to crackle with unspoken words and hidden agendas, adding to the weight of the moment.Maretti, the fourth leader known as The Queen, exuded an aura of confidence and authority.

Leaning back in her chair with a smug expression, she spoke with a tone dripping with disdain, “I think they're all fools. Obtaining someone's identity is a trivial task for me.”Harris, unfazed by her arrogance, leaned forward. “Don't be so arrogant, Maretti. If he truly inherited John Clark's powers, you might find it more challenging than you expect,” he replied, his voice steady and confident.“Are you sure about that? Just say it if you're scared.” Maretti shot back, her eyes narrowing as a sly smile played on her lips. “Why don't we make a bet then? Whoever uncovers h

The Reign of Zane Gardner Chapter 223 - Opposition from Whitmore
Back in the meeting room, Zane sat calmly, aware of the opinions against him. He understood that opposition was normal and expected, so he took it in stride. After Paul and Matthew voiced their opinions, Whitmore decided to speak up. She raised her hand and said, “Mr. Charles, we’ve known each other for a long time, right? I’ve been working at Marcus Scott for nearly ten years, and my journey here hasn’t been easy. What about Mr. Gardner, who hasn’t even been here for a year? I agree with Mr. Moore and Mr. White. I am against this.”Hearing so much opposition made the atmosphere increasingly tense. Those who disliked Zane whispered among themselves, their discontent palpable.

Zane stood facing Morano at a close distance. Zane remained calm, while Morano wore a dismissive expression."So, are you sure you want to face me alone, young man? Hahaha."He continued, "I’m not even sure if your grandfather could, let alone you."Without warning, Zane darted forward, his body becoming a blur that was hard for the naked eye to follow. His teleportation allowed him to move at lightning speed, appearing beside Morano and delivering a powerful punch. "Today, I will tear down the empire you’ve built. In the name of my grandfather, I will destroy you."Morano managed to dodge the first attack, but Zane was already behind him in an instant, kicking him hard in the back.

So, she wasn't shocked, but she hadn’t expected Zane to possess the same ability.Zane locked eyes with Morano and firmly said, "Don’t ever say that again. It’s disgusting."“Hahaha, Zane Gardner, I don’t know what John told you. But, yes, you two were pretty close. I was hurt—it felt like unrequited love, hahaha.”“Stop your nonsense.”“Wow, you’re braver than John, huh? He should’ve learned more from you, hahaha.”Zane remained where he stood.

It was obvious that they belonged to Morano’s men. "Yes, Master. Morano’s forces will arrive soon.
