Isabelle couldn't help but flash a warm smile as she gracefully disembarked from the vehicle, even though it was encircled by a formidable group of armed men. Her courage and poise were infectious, as Terry and Townsend promptly followed suit and stepped out alongside her."Wow, it's so lively in here," Isabelle observed with a hint of excitement in her voice.To everyone's astonishment, Lord Pluto, who held a prominent position at the apex of the grand banquet, rose from his seat and made his way towards Isabelle to personally extend a warm welcome. his unanticipated gesture sent shockwaves through the entire assembly, for it was a stark departure from his customary demeanor.In response to Lord Pluto's unexpected actions, the armed men who had been surrounding Isabelle, Terry, and Townsend reacted swiftly.They immediately lowered their weapons, creating a clear path for the trio and allowing them to move freely in the area. The atmosphere shifted from one of tension to one of an
Isabelle's bold declaration during the banquet had an immediate impact on the atmosphere in the room, causing a noticeable shift in the demeanor of the leaders of the other mercenary forces. Each of them displayed a distinct change in their expressions, reflecting their surprise and curiosity at her audacity. Isabelle had dared to challenge the formidable Lord Pluto, a move that no one had anticipated.Contrary to the tense and uncertain atmosphere that had settled over the banquet hall, Lord Pluto, the very subject of Isabelle's challenge, remained remarkably composed. His countenance displayed a perpetual, enigmatic smile as he addressed Isabelle's bold assertion. In a calm and collected manner, he responded, "Indeed, I'm well aware of your ambitions. It's not every day one encounters such a powerful and ambitious lady. If I failed to discern your intentions, I would hardly be deserving of my current position."As Isabelle fixed her gaze upon Lord Pluto, her astonishment was unmis
Isabelle couldn't help but feel a sense of astonishment as she stood face to face with Lord Pluto. She had always known he was a formidable force, but deep down, she had secretly hoped that their powers would at least be on a somewhat equal footing in the middle level. Yet, as she assessed the strength he exuded, it became abundantly clear that he far surpassed her expectations. Nevertheless, the thought of yielding to him never crossed her mind. She was determined not to back down from this impending battle. Furthermore, her familiarity with the mysterious glow bestowed upon her an advantage that she intended to exploit to the fullest.In the aftermath of her previous battle, Terry and Townsend had shared invaluable information about the glow with her. They had, however, chosen to remain tight-lipped about their own background or personal histories, and Isabelle had respected their privacy. After all, in the world they inhabited, secrets were a common currency, and everyone harbore
Lord Pluto stood in his exclusive training ground, contemplating the decision ahead. "What if I were to opt for a more passive role?" he inquired, his voice echoing through the serene atmosphere.Apart from Townsend, Terry, Damien, and Isabelle, the training ground remained devoid of any other presence.Isabelle responded thoughtfully, "Choosing to remain on the sidelines can be a prudent strategy. However, it's essential to recognize that during a restructure, you might find yourself lower in the hierarchy. At that point, I may not have the authority to make decisions."Lord Pluto considered her words, acknowledging the potential consequences. "I understand the risks, but I believe this might still be the wisest course of action."With a final nod, Isabelle signaled her departure. "Very well. I'll take my leave now. Let's go," she suggested, her exit prompting Terry and Townsend to follow suit. Damien briefly hesitated, uncertain if Isabelle's statement included him. However, given
"The Greece family isn't as tranquil as one might assume, especially amidst this ongoing struggle for supremacy between you and Dustin. Sides have been clearly defined, with me aligning myself with you, and Uncle Two siding with Dustin," declared Uncle Three.Alexander acknowledged his uncle's words, though he harbored further questions, but the looming, enigmatic figures were drawing near. Acting with swiftness akin to a bolt of lightning, Alexander emerged by their side and sent them sprawling with a single, powerful punch.Despite the blow, the mysterious figures swiftly rose to their feet, forming a daunting circle around Alexander. Astonishingly, they appeared unhurt, as if the punch had barely fazed them.Wearing a wry smile, Alexander remarked, "Impressive, they're just as durable as you described."With newfound determination, Alexander launched another assault, this time targeting their heads. In response, the mysterious figures became more vicious, fiercely defending their h
With a tone laced in sarcasm, Helen retorted, "Oh, how absolutely fascinating!" Young Master G, seemingly oblivious to the sarcasm dripping from her words, persisted in his grandiose claims, declaring, "I wield absolute authority within Fairview, in fact, I am the embodiment of power itself. A mere utterance from me could spell the demise of this company and, of course, your own downfall." He concluded his threat with a certain air of arrogance.Unfazed by his threats, Helen continued her mockery, maintaining her sarcastic demeanor, "Ah, well, isn't that just splendid to hear."Young Master G, his patience waning, came to a sudden revelation of Helen's actions and his temper flared. In response to her behavior, he issued a stern command to one of his loyal guards, instructing him to educate her in the ways of proper conduct. "Teach her some manners," he demanded with authority.The selected bodyguard, who was at the higher level of the Warrior realm, sprang into action with remarkab
In the confines of AG Corp's manager's office, three key individuals, namely Arthur, Hasen, and Helen, were gathered. They sat around a polished wooden table, their attention riveted to the television screen that broadcasted the unfolding events.As the tense atmosphere permeated the room, Helen's reaction was one of alarm and anxiety. She blurted out in a panicked tone, "Young Master G has initiated his assault. Are we truly prepared to endure this challenge?"Despite Helen's visible distress, both Arthur and Hasen displayed a remarkable composure, as if they had foreseen this very turn of events. Their calm demeanor suggested a premeditated readiness for the impending situation.Arthur eventually found his voice and reassured Helen, "Fear is unnecessary. If he chooses to harm us, we shall respond in kind. Whatever he inflicts upon us, we will double in return. There's no reason for fear."In a surprisingly short span of time, a wave of fresh headlines inundated the news feeds. The e
Alexander's mood darkened as he immersed himself in a series of news stories. In the hustle and bustle of his recent past, he had scarcely found a moment to focus on the happenings in Fairview. He had maintained an unwavering belief that capable individuals in his absence would ensure the smooth operation of things in the city no matter what challenges they faced.Little did he anticipate the shocking revelation that someone had taken it upon themselves to impersonate him, cunningly adopting his identity and seizing control of Fairview. There was only one person who could have masterminded such an audacious act, and that person was none other than his own elder brother, Dustin.Xander Corporation, the company he had poured his heart and soul into, had vanished into thin air. Even more concerning was the fact that he couldn't establish contact with Arthur, his most trusted confidant and personal assistant. The once dominant top five families of Fairview had been ousted from their po
