Chapter 941
“If nothing unexpected happens, the Cooper family will also send someone to Nova City to deal with the affairs of the Nova City Coopers.”“The younger generation of the Metropolis City Cooper family lacks true talent. Benson Cooper is notoriously protective of his own, and the heirs he has raised are unlikely to amount to much.”“On this trip to Nova City, avoid unnecessary contact with them unless absolutely required.”Preston Gutierrez offered this final caution.“I understand. I’ve never had a favorable impression of the Cooper family’s younger members. I have no interest in dealing with them,” Wayne Gutierrez replied with a nod.“Do not wear your emotions on your face. Whether you feel disdain or favor, keep it buried within.”Preston Gutierrez nodded faintly.“I understand, Father.”Wayne responded.“If you were Benson Cooper, how would you handle the Nova City Cooper family?” Preston Gutierrez asked.“How would I handle it? Either destroy them—or bring them to heel. There are on

“Old Murphy, you—!”Preston Gutierrez was left momentarily speechless.“Exactly. It’s not as if you have only one son. Lose one, and you still have others, don’t you?” Benson Cooper said with a thin, mocking smile.“And you have more than one son as well—why shouldn’t yours be the one to die?” Preston Gutierrez replied through gritted teeth.“That’s enough. This matter is settled.”“Old Gutierrez, your eldest son, Wayne, is exceptional. We’re entrusting him with this precisely because we believe he can handle it,” Vincent Murphy said, wearing the expression of a benevolent mediator.Preston Gutierrez looked deeply aggrieved, yet found no words with which to argue.“And what about the Cooper family’s situation? The Cooper family in Nova City has begun to show real promise. There are intricate ties between them and your Cooper family here in Metropolis City. Left unchecked, they may become a serious threat. Surely your family intends to deal with this?”Preston Gutierrez pressed on.“Th

The elderly man with the shadowed gaze was Benson Cooper, patriarch of the Cooper family—one of Metropolis City’s three dominant power clans—and a key figure within the Central Council.“For matters that don’t bear the light, it’s better to find somewhere more secluded,” a portly man in his sixties remarked.This was Preston Gutierrez, head of the Gutierrez family, likewise a heavyweight within the Central Council.“This isn’t the place for such discussion. Let’s move to the smaller conference room,” said an upright-looking elder with an air of stern integrity.He was Vincent Murphy, patriarch of the Murphy family, another pillar of power within Metropolis City and the Central Council.After Vincent Murphy spoke, Benson Cooper and Preston Gutierrez fell silent, rising without a word and leaving the main conference hall.Before long, the three arrived at a smaller meeting room. Once inside, Vincent Murphy shut the door carefully, as if wary of any intrusion.“What are your thoughts on

“That means keeping a close watch on Metropolis City—staying one step ahead and understanding their movements.”“Since they’re sending a so-called special envoy, the least we can do is learn everything about this person.”“To know your enemy is to ensure victory.”Joseph said.“I understand. Rest assured, Young Master—I’ll keep their situation firmly under control.”“It’s also time for you to find an opportunity to visit Mystic Medical Valley. First, to see the General’s only grandson, and second, to determine what contingencies the General may have left behind.”“If we want to accomplish anything significant, the strength we currently possess is far from sufficient.”“If we can find a way to regain control of the Southern Frontier army, then we’ll finally have the confidence to act.”Neil Foster said, cutting straight to the heart of the matter.“In the future, we should avoid discussing such critical matters over the phone. It’s better done face-to-face.”Joseph said cautiously.“Yo

“Are you out of your mind? What nonsense are you spouting?”Heidi couldn’t help but rap Lillian Morvek twice on the head. She understood perfectly well what the girl was implying, and her cheeks flushed faintly.“How is that nonsense? I’m just giving you two some time and space alone.”Lillian protested, rubbing her head.“Time and space, my foot. I don’t even have time tomorrow—my parents’ trial is scheduled, and my sister and I have to be there early.”Heidi shot her an exasperated look.“Then you should head back early. No matter what, as family, it’s best that you’re present.”Joseph said after hearing Heidi.“Of course we’ll be there.”“But it doesn’t really change anything. My sister told me the lawyer’s preliminary estimate—my dad will get at least three years. As for my mom, it’ll be more severe—no less than ten.”“That’s already with the victim saved. If you hadn’t intervened and ensured the girl wasn’t permanently harmed, my mom might never have seen the outside world again.

“Yes.”Heidi answered without hesitation.“Then why is this bell with Lillian? Where did this pair of bells come from? Can you explain it to me?”Joseph’s mind was crowded with questions.“It’s a long story—I’ll walk you through it.”Heidi straightened slightly and began her explanation.She recounted the entire history of the bells in meticulous detail—who had given them to her, how she had lost one, and how the other had ended up in Lillian Morvek’s hands.Throughout it all, Lillian simply nodded, confirming every word.After listening, Joseph found himself caught in a tangle of emotions—part bewilderment, part reluctant amusement.“So what you’re saying is… the one who saved me back then was you. And if you had produced this bell at the time, the one I would have married wouldn’t have been your sister—but you. Is that right?”Joseph said with a faint smile.“Yes—”“No, no!”“I was only sixteen or so back then—still a child. How could I possibly have married you?”Heidi hurriedly co
