Powerless Against His Feisty Wife Chapter 1180 Not An Outsider
Sam said, "Hunter's just a high school student. From what we've gathered, his specialty is exploring hidden tombs. Mr. Page, do you think the Hannibals took him to plunder graves?""It's a possibility," Grayson acknowledged.Rodney paused, then queried, "Mr. Page, are you suggesting that the Hannibal family's boss hasn't shown himself yet because of Hunter?"Grayson's eyes narrowed thoughtfully. "Perhaps the Hannibals anticipate riches lying within those tombs."Rodney and Sam exchanged startled glances. "Is that why he's not paying attention to us?""How much wealth could they expect from graves? Could it rival your hundred billion funds?""Or maybe the boss wants something priceless retrieved from the tomb," Grayson suggested.Sam and Rodney fell silent.Grayson had been contemplating the Hannibals' motives as they remained low-profile. He was certain the family's boss knew his identity, yet they hadn't made a move. Initially, Grayson assumed it was because they suspected him

Grayson's phone started ringing as Belle concluded her speech. It was a call confirming that Robert's plane had safely touched down in Maltford.The news of Robert's arrival meant one thing—he was finally safe. Scott administered the antidote to Robert on board the plane. He had deliberately waited until they reached Maltford, taking no chances.As Robert gradually regained consciousness, Scott couldn't contain his relief. "Robert, you're awake!"It took Robert a moment to gather his senses. "Scott?""That's great! Here, let me help you with your medicine. Belle personally prepared them for you. She told me to make sure that you take them upon waking."Though the scent of the medicine was potent, Robert endured it and swallowed every dose.Scott asked, "How do you feel?""Much better.""Belle assured me your condition is stable, so there's no need to fret. Just focus on recuperating at home, alright?""Alright.""By the way, everyone in Mandoria thinks you're dead. Steven c

Scott was shocked. "The Hannibal family threatened Sean with his wife and kids?""Yes," came Robert's grim confirmation. "What the fuck? How could they stoop so low? The repercussions for all Mandoria families will be severe, mark my words!"Scott didn't have the intimate acquaintance with Sean that Robert did, but he knew Sean well enough to understand that he wouldn't betray others willingly. Sean had only turned on Robert under duress, fearing for his family's safety.Continuing to aid Robert would mean subjecting his own family to unspeakable horrors. It was a dilemma that seemed insurmountable. Sean had done nothing wrong in prioritizing his family's safety.Robert's expression darkened, his eyes flashing with a fierce resolve, akin to a lion defending its territory from encroachment.Having been a captive, Robert had borne witness to the atrocities and depravity rampant within Mandoria. He vowed to mete out justice to every perpetrator.Scott asked, "Have you met with the

Grayson stated, "I'm considering ten billion for now. Anything less might not have the impact I'm aiming for with the Hannibal family."Belle felt uneasy about the hefty sum. "That much? What if it's all for nothing?""It won't be. And I have a contingency plan if needed."Noticing his confidence, she decided not to question any further.Belle lingered in Grayson's embrace before letting him go to freshen up.As Grayson left the house, Belle got up from bed. She took a shower and then headed out as well.Morgan was surprised to hear that Angora demanded a meeting with him. "What does he want with me?"His assistant shook his head and replied, "I don't know, sir. But he's alone, wearing a cap and mask, like he's sneaking around.""What about Mr. Quinn? Is he meeting Shane now?""Yes, sir. Mr. Quinn left for the Roland family's mines half an hour ago. Angora came right after he left.""What's the play here? Do you think he's acting on Mr. Quinn's orders?"Morgan's assistant wa

Belle didn't push further, saying, "Well, suit yourself. Perhaps inquire with your boss if he'd entertain a deal with me. If so, I'll arrange another partnership through Mr. Quinn, totaling ten billion dollars. What do you say?""How can you be so sure that Mr. Quinn will do as you say?""I absolutely can! He might not hand over ten billion outright, but proposing an investment tied to the Hannibal family could sway him. It wouldn't be a wasted opportunity."After a pause, Morgan questioned, "Why aren't you focused on staying loyal to Mr. Quinn, given his wealth and charm? Why look elsewhere?""You won't get it.""That's why I'm asking.""I don't feel like explaining it to you.""Then I'm afraid I can't work with you."Belle calmly stated, "Then consider your chances with Mr. Quinn gone. I'll persuade him to channel all his investments into Shane. He's favorably inclined toward Shane anyway. I might not be able to sway him entirely toward the Hannibal family, but the Rolands? C
Powerless Against His Feisty Wife Chapter 1185 The Reason
While Sam and Rodney continued their conversation, Grayson's expression soured as he peered out the window, clearly disgusted by what he saw. He noticed many laborers, likely his own countrymen, being mistreated. Though he didn't know any of them personally, he couldn't help but feel remorseful witnessing their plight.When the car rolled to a stop, Sam and Rodney exited, and Shane promptly opened the door for Grayson before they could reach it themselves. "Mr. Quinn!"Grayson composed himself before getting out of the car and surveying the surroundings of the mine.Shane briefed him, "This is the Roland family's largest mine. We've recently unearthed an exceptional batch of emeralds. Would you care to take a look?""Sure."Shane led Grayson and his entourage into the depths of the mine. "I took over this mine three years ago. It's known for its richness, even among our standards. "The Hannibals have made attempts to seize it, but I've managed to hold them off each time. Despi

Observing Grayson's quiet demeanor, Shane hesitantly inquired, "Mr. Quinn, may I ask where you acquired the information about the Hannibals' search for tombs? "Is it possible you've fallen victim to a scam? The Hannibal family is notorious for peddling false leads to drive up the value of genuine intel, ultimately lining their own pockets."Grayson, shaken from his reverie, responded, "If there are indeed no tombs beneath Mandoria, then it seems I've been deceived."Shane cautioned, "The Hannibal family doesn't harbor a shred of goodwill. It's wise to exercise caution in their dealings."Grayson merely smiled, opting not to engage further with Shane's advice.Grayson remained in the mine until the afternoon, the sky darkening by the time he returned home.Belle eagerly greeted Grayson upon his arrival. "You're back! How is it?""Everything went as planned. Why are you at the door?""I was waiting for you."Grayson smiled. "Have you eaten yet?""Not yet. I took a nap in the a

Grayson had been in Mandoria for some time now. Though he had successfully rescued Robert, progress toward his ultimate objective remained minimal.He hadn't even gotten the chance to see the Hannibal family's true leader yet.Unlike the Rolands, dealing with the Hannibals proved challenging. As one of the enigmatic four families, they held considerable power and influence in opposition to Belle.Grayson harbored concerns about potential repercussions if Belle continued her involvement with them.Belle proposed, "Should our tactics fail against the Hannibal family, we could resort to confronting them directly. We're unlikely to be defeated. And is it imperative to identify their leader? If we eliminate every member of their ranks, their leader will stand alone and powerless against us."Grayson met her suggestion with a silent gaze.His strategy focused on capturing the head of the Hannibal family to neutralize their operations. While he acknowledged Belle's approach of eradicati

Belle playfully reached for Sixteen again. "Come here!"Sixteen barked back, seemingly firm in his stance. "I'll cry if you don't come here, okay?" Belle then held her face in her hands and pretended to cry.Sixteen immediately calmed down as it nudged Belle's hands with its paws, trying to comfort her. Belle broke character, revealing a grin. "Are you still mad at me?"Sixteen, appeased, finally got into her arms and launched into enthusiastic licks.Grayson watched the exchange with a hint of envy. "Hey, Sixteen!"Sixteen whimpered and offered Grayson a sheepish look.Belle scolded, "Why are you scolding Sixteen? You're a bad guy!"She then petted Sixteen on its head and stood up. "Let's go! We'll get something tasty to eat! Just ignore him, okay?"Grayson was left speechless. He felt defeated by the pet dog as he watched Belle and Sixteen skip and hop into the house.Meredith had already finished preparing dinner when they arrived. She put on a gentle smile as she watched Belle

After returning to the house, Ava asked, "Why did Xenia go crazy? Wasn't she fine not long ago?"Lena wiped her hands and handed the towel back to Ava. "Someone drugged her and induced hallucinations of her worst fears. She's been on the edge ever since. After all, she did commit all sorts of misdeeds." "Someone?""Belle Walters."Ava was shocked. "Why would Belle drug Xenia?"Ava and Lena had been moving from place to place, seeking a safe hideout ever since they picked up Xenia. They had only found a relatively safe place today, so Ava finally had the chance to inquire about the details.Lena shot her a look of disgust and proceeded to ignore her question.Ava dared not press further and changed the topic. "Now that Xenia's lost her mind, can we still get her to talk?"Lena continued to ignore her and went to scribble down a prescription. She had spent the entire day with Xenia in the basement but hadn't managed to extract any useful information from her. Ava sheepishly c

Meanwhile, Ginger, too, was grappling with confusion. She'd also offered Hunter money, only to be stunned into silence by the astronomical sum in his bank statement. Compared to him, she was practically penniless. The largest amount she'd ever held was a few million Gabriel had won in the lottery—a drop in the bucket compared to Hunter's wealth."Why do you think Mr. Sanders was so wealthy?" Ginger queried, seeking Gabriel's insight.Gabriel was similarly grappling with confusion and remained quiet. However, he was preoccupied with a different mystery. His mind was consumed by the deaths of Penny and Terry. He had taken time to visit the corpses and noted the peculiarity surrounding their deaths. Their autopsies revealed unusual injuries that baffled forensics.Both victims, young adults in their prime, looked as if they'd been scared to death.Aware of Hunter's ties to the Nightwalkers, Gabriel wasn't surprised by the inheritance. Compared to the wealth amassed during the Sanders f

Belle pondered aloud, "While Hunter isn't as averse to exploring tombs as Benjamin, they share a similar disposition. Otherwise, with his expertise, he could easily be making a fortune.""The Sanders ancestors might not have been saints," Grayson conceded, "but perhaps Hunter's grandfather started a positive trend. Like Benjamin, he likely tried to shield Hunter from their legacy. A truly evil man couldn't have raised such a kind son."As Benjamin grew, he remained kind-hearted despite his timidity. And now, Hunter has grown into an upright, kind, and courageous young man. His talent for exploration makes him the pride of his lineage."Belle nodded and sighed. "Money is crucial for a comfortable life today. With what Hunter has, financial worries shouldn't trouble him. He'll be well provided for."Grayson pulled her into his arms and responded, "Don't fret. While Hunter may still be in school, he's mature for his age. He can take care of himself just fine."Belle leaned onto his s

Hunter crouched by the bed, methodically clearing away the books until a single floor tile lay exposed. Prying it open revealed a dark hole just big enough for one person. Grabbing a flashlight, he squeezed through the narrow opening and emerged into a moderately sized room of perhaps about 130 square feet. Wooden boxes, weathered with age and adorned with simple designs, filled the space.Hunter made a beeline for a particular box, brushing off the dust before prying it open. The wooden box was filled to the brim with notebooks. Hunter sat down on the floor, picked up one of the books, and started reading it.This hidden chamber and its contents were discovered by a young Hunter, seemingly guided by destiny. Hunter's father, Benjamin, had buried them, driven by a desire to safeguard their knowledge from Hunter's curious gaze. Fear had gripped Benjamin after learning about the Sanders family's history, the expertise that had seemingly drawn them toward a dangerous path. He

Nora let out a long sigh. "It's fine. Just keep it with you! I don't really need the money right away or anything. Besides, an old woman like me won't be spending much in town even if I tried."Hunter stopped Nora as she was about to leave and took a wad of money from his bag. "I have 20,000 dollars right here. It's far from the actual price, but you can keep it for now. I'll pay you the rest when I can."Nora was stunned. "Where did you get so much money?""It's the money I gathered from donations for the funeral, mostly from Ms. Belle and Mr. Grayson.""Oh, that makes sense. Here I was, wondering how you managed to get such a huge amount from donations. I can tell your friends are really kind-hearted people. You should treat them just as well as they treat you, okay? Study hard and make a name for yourself, and then you'll be able to properly repay their kindness.""Yeah, I know. Anyway, the gold nugget weighs slightly over 17 ounces. So, its worth is about 37,500 dollars. I'll pay y

As the final step of the funeral, the townsfolk gathered for a meal after Benjamin's burial. After Benjamin was buried, Belle and Ginger approached Hunter, inquiring about his plans for the future. Belle expressed her desire for Hunter to stay with her and Grayson, mentioning that their house had plenty of spare rooms. The only drawback would be that it was quite the distance from his school, but they could always arrange a driver for him.Ginger also invited Hunter to stay with her and Gabriel as their house had just finished with renovations. They also had a spare room for Hunter if he were to join their house.Hunter was genuinely touched by their offers, but he still declined them both. "I'd like to stay in my school's hostel for now. I'll think about what to do next when I graduate."Belle and Ginger recognized that they couldn't sway Hunter's decision, so they ceased their attempts to pressure him into making a choice."If you run out of space for your belongings, you ca

Hunter detailed, "I recall every person who came to offer prayers for my father... However, it was during my trip to the restroom that the dogs began barking. Upon my return, I spotted some unfamiliar footprints. Without seeing anyone there, I dismissed it. But upon hearing about Penny and Terry's deaths this morning, I began to connect the dots..."Both Gabriel and Grayson were left speechless.Gabriel exchanged a glance with Grayson before turning back to Hunter. "So, you're suggesting that the stranger who came to town also visited your house to pray for your father before departing to exact revenge on Penny and Terry for Mr. Sanders' death?""Yes.""Why didn't he meet you then?""I don't know.""Any other suspects you have in mind?"Hunter shook his head. "My father and I don't have friends other than you guys. It's just the two of us for as long as I can remember.""Could it be someone else from the Sanders family?" asked Gabriel."I don't think so.

Belle, Ginger, and the rest of the group arrived at 8:00 am. They noticed the crowd alongside police cars at the entrance to the town. The two of them then squeezed through the crowd to make it to the house as soon as they could. "What happened, Hunter?"The policemen were stunned by their sudden arrival. "Who are you?""We're Hunter's friends. You can tell us about what happened."Hunter's eyes gleamed with hope as he greeted them. "Ms. Belle and Ms. Ginger!"Grayson's car stopped in front of the town alongside a truck filled with equipment for the funeral.Without Belle and Grayson's friendship, Hunter would have had to manage all the funeral arrangements alone, and he wouldn't have had the opportunity to meet Ginger.Sam remained outside to stand guard while Grayson and Gabriel entered the Sanders family's old home.The townsfolk and the police were shocked when they saw them.They didn't recognize Grayson or Gabriel, but they could tell at a glance that they were really special peo
