"H-How's this possible?!" In contrast to Alan's emotional response, Gordon, who was behind, was completely stunned and stiff!He thought that Darius was already assuredly dead!Yet, he never would have expected that Darius would have returned from the grave!Was that not too unbelievable?It was obvious how shocked he was!Of course, he was not the only one who was shocked. Sebastian, Eliam, and the others were the same. They were so shocked their jaws almost fell on the ground!Earlier, looking at how the Hughes and the Thompsons were about to fight each other, they thought that they would be able to take advantage of the situation!Yet, Darius, who was supposed to have been killed by Leon, miraculously returned from the dead at the most important moment!It foiled all their plans!The hope that ignited in their hearts was extinguished without any mercy!"Darius, so what Yuri said was true! You have been saved!"Dawn was ecstatic when she saw that Darius was safe and soun
Taking the chance, Yuri shot forward and quickly arrived next to Gordon.After that, he grabbed Gordon and lifted him from the ground.Right after that, he dragged Gordon right in front of Alan, Darius, and the others before throwing Gordon onto the ground."Darius, I've captured this despicable man for you. Deal with him as you please!" Yuri said."Yes, alright," Darius answered, relaxing a lot more."Darius, what's happening?" Alan asked with uncertainty."Grandfather, it's like this. Gordon caught me off guard and attacked me with a poisoned needle. Thankfully, Mister Wolf is incredibly skilled at medicine. He cured the poison and saved my life," Darius spoke with intense anger. He resisted how weak his body felt as he explained everything briefly.Back when Yuri left the room, Yuri left two guards behind to take care of the unconscious Darius.After he woke up, he immediately asked the guards about the situation.Among that was how Leon was framed and blamed for poisoning
"I-"Dawn was rendered speechless. She knew that Darius was right. If Gordon was the culprit, then she ended up trying to hurt Leon when Leon was helping them. She even almost caused Darius to die!Then, she would have committed a huge error!"Crap!"Gordon's face paled when he saw that everything was failing. He knew that it would be impossible for him to turn things around.After that, he hurriedly scrambled up from the ground and knelt in front of Alan, "Grandfather, this is all my fault, but I didn't try to do anything to Darius on purpose. Please spare me this one time since he's safe and sound," Gordon said, frantically trying to plead for mercy. He looked incredibly sincere as he apologized.He knew that he was still married to Dawn in the end. Since Darius was already spared, then Alan might show him mercy on account of their relationship if he admitted to his faults sincerely!"Spare you? Do you think that's possible?! Gordon, Darius is your brother-in-law. You dared
"I know!""But Gordon is still my husband in the end. What will I do in the future if you kill him?" Dawn said with reddened eyes. Tears started to fall."Dawn, listen to me. Gordon is an incredibly vile and evil man. He's not worthy of you at all! He dared to poison me this time. In the future, he might end up harming you just for the sake of his benefits. He might even end up harming the whole family! In the end, with how powerful our family is and how amazing you are, you won't have a difficult time finding a new husband without him! You don't have to cry for someone like him. He's not worth it!" Darius said weakly."Yes, Darius is right! Someone like Gordon will only bring disaster if we keep him around. You never know what he's thinking! Whether it's for the sake of your future or the sake of the family, I have to kill him today!" Alan said with murderous intent. His tone was very firm, leaving no room for doubt!"But-" Dawn was still reluctant to give up. However, before he
"You bastard Joel! I never thought it would turn out to be you Hiltons who were behind this all along!" Alan was infuriated by this and immediately turned to shoot Joel and the rest of the Hiltons a murderous glare. "Um," Joel balked at this. He never once thought that Gordon would use his last remaining breath to betray him! Not only that, but he only ordered Gordon to attack Iris and Snow—never once did he instruct him to poison Darius, so it came as an even bigger shock when Gordon decided to place all the blame on him for something he never did! Joel wanted nothing more than to reach out and kill Gordon himself! "Elder Hughes, Gordon was the one who committed this crime, and this has nothing to do with us Hiltons at all! He's just trying to shift the blame onto someone else and slander us Hughes in the process, so please don't take his words seriously!" Joel stammered. Gordon did not have any evidence to back himself up, so of course he would never admit to this wrongdoin
"Elder Hughes, Angus, what do you mean by this?" Sebastian demanded with a sour look. "What do you think, Sebastian? Your son has brainwashed Gordon into committing this heinous crime and almost killed my grandson Darius in the process! I demand restitution, and I won't let you leave until I get it!" Alan snarled. It was clear that he would not go down without a fight. "Elder Hughes is right! Sebastian, you Hiltons have kept on bullying Mister Wolf on the basis that you're more powerful than him. this goes against the laws of the Gangster World, and it's about time you reap the consequences of your actions!" Angus said, sneering. He knew that Hiltons Corporation and Elegante Group were competitors, which meant that the Hiltons attacked Leon again and again with the clear intention of bringing them down! As one of Elegante Group's major shareholders, the Thompsons would not sit by without taking action, not to mention that they were indebted to Leon for his help in the past! T
"What's going on here, Sebastian? What happened?" Devon could not help asking as he glanced around him at Alan and Angus, whose faces meant business. Sebastian already explained everything to him before coming over to Scammell Mansion to provide backup, so it did not take long for Devon to realize the significance of defeating Leon. After all, Leon was not only the president of Elegante Group, but Cynthion Group as well, and as long as the Hiltons could find some way to get rid of him, not only would they successfully have taken down their biggest competitor, but they would also be able to take Cynthion Group as their own! Devon was a wise businessman who understood the potential of this opportunity, and so he, like his son and grandson, was eager to carry this out. Unfortunately, with the Thompsons behind Leon's back, their task got significantly more difficult, and so he sent Sebastian and the rest of the Hiltons along to defeat Leon first, whereas he would stay back and ass
"Elder Hiltons, right? Well, what do you intend to do about this?" all of a sudden, Leon, who sat in his wheelchair in silence all this while, spoke. "Who are you?" Devon turned to glance at Leon with a rather dubious look, uncertain who this man was. "Grandpa, this is Leon Wolf!" Joel explained. "It's you!" Devon was shocked by this. Considering this was the man who established two powerful companies—Elegante Group and Cynthion Group—at such a young age, he expected Leon to be a powerful and formidable man. He never once imagined that the famed Leon Wolf would turn out to be a sickly, rather pale-looking man in a wheelchair! However, unbeknownst to him, Leon was looking frail simply because he entered a temporary weak phase, and was not usually a sick man at all! Otherwise, Joel would never have fallen victim to him over and over! "Alright, you twat, I'll be frank with you. You crippled Seth, and you're going to pay a price for that. I'll give you one last chance—if you
