"Miss, that guy you wanted us to look into is still in Goldridge right now!" Inside a teahouse in a bustling street in Goldridge, Rowan sat in her white dress listening to her subordinate's report. She asked somewhat impatiently, "Where is he? Is he okay?" Her subordinate replied, "I don't know if he's okay or not. I just know he's been captured and controlled by Mr. Fischer!" Rowan's hand trembled slightly, spilling some of her tea as the porcelain cup wobbled in her grip. Across from her, Evan took it all in silently. He said coldly, "Rowan, no matter how worried you are about him, it's pointless now. He's in Mr. Fischer's hands. Do you really think he still has a chance?" Rowan did not answer. Her heart was a storm of chaos. She had not expected that after five years, they would finally cross paths again, only for that bastard to be at death's door before they could even exchange a word. Evan sneered. "If you ask me, he brought this on himself. Who the hell dares rui

Henry's face instantly darkened. Eric tried to cover for it. "He's probably in a confused state. His mind can't distinguish logic from reality, and that's likely why he said that." Henry frowned. "Still, calling me an idiot? That's crossing the line." Eric shook his head. "A truly hypnotized mind doesn't know how to insult. If he said that, there must be some reason behind it." Henry exploded. "So what, you're saying he had reason to call me an idiot?" Eric's expression twitched as he tried to explain. "From our perspective, of course, it doesn't make sense, but his mind has entered a chaotic state. Whatever you ask him and whatever he answers no longer follows normal human thought patterns." Henry's expression softened slightly. "I get it… You're saying he can no longer tell what he's actually saying! Even though he called me an idiot, he might actually be saying I'm mighty and unyielding, absolutely domineering, right?" Eric did not want to respond. Meanwhile, And

The Yeagers' front gate flew a dozen meters through the air with a single kick, crashing to the ground as the entire compound was thrown into chaos. Led by Matthew, over a hundred Yeager family members poured out in full force. Holding back his rage, he growled, "Mr. Fischer, so you really showed up with your people! While you might be able to make other families and gangs submit, we are not spineless like them!" Henry crossed his arms and leaned against the car hood, "Whether the Yeagers are spineless or not doesn't matter. What matters is whether the Yeagers know their place and understand how to go with the flow!" Matthew pointed at him and shouted, "Who the hell do you think you are? What gives you the right to show up here and throw your weight around? The Yeagers have stood strong in Goldridge for over a century. "Since when do guys like you get to come here and act tough? When Mr. Thornton was still in charge, he treated us with respect! But now that you power-hungry

The moment Henry gave the retreat order, Alex and the others fled like prisoners granted a last-minute pardon. Andrew had already been itching to leave, so he fought Adam while slowly falling back with him. "You sons of bitches came storming in here, and now you want to walk out like nothing happened? Not a chance!" Adam roared, completely fired up. He went all-in, refusing to let Andrew slip away. However, Andrew did not hold back either, blasting him over and over with Inferno Strike. Each time their palms collided, Adam felt like his hands had been seared by red-hot irons. "Damn! What the hell kind of technique is this?" he hissed through clenched teeth. After a few more hits, he glanced at his hands and froze. They looked like overboiled meat, red and steaming. "What on earth…" In an instant, Adam became wary. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Andrew stomped the ground and slid backward dozens of meters, instantly catching up to Alex. Then, he grabbed Alex by th

Henry was convinced and narrowed his eyes. "Go on. How do you plan to use poison?" Scarlett flipped her mink coat, revealing her ample chest, and smiled. "I've slept with that little brat Joseph from the Yeagers twice already. This kid's really pathetic in the Yeagers. He's over 20 but clearly hasn't had much experience with women. He submitted to my charms in no time!" She added, "Now, when I say east, he goes east. When I say west, he doesn't dare head any other way." Henry frowned. "Your looks are… average. You really think Joseph fell for that?" Scarlett's smile froze as her tone turned sharp. "Sure, my face isn't much, but I have a great body! My martial arts skills are impressive enough to command respect, and Joseph is just a naive kid. Sleeping with me gives his ego a huge boost! "What good are pretty faces? What really satisfies men are women who wield power and strength, and I happen to be exactly that type. I have both power and influence!" Henry nodded in agre
