"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
"Alright then, you twat! You asked for this! Since you have a death wish, I'll gladly help you fulfill it! Guards, seize him, and make sure he's alive—I'm going to torture him to death!" Devon shouted. Then, without another word, he gestured for his men to charge. He knew full well that Leon would have the alchemical pills' recipes with him, along with most of Cynthion Group's trade secrets, and so the only way he could get his hands on them as if he seized Leon alive! He was not at all concerned whether Leon would willingly hand over this information—knowing that Iris was his girlfriend, who also happened to be a distant relative of the Scammells, he was certain that by using her or the rest of the Scammells against him would surely frighten him into spilling all his secrets! "Who dares touch him will feel my fiery wrath!" Angus could not stand by and watch idly while the Hiltons attacked Leon. He took charge and led his warriors, which included three Almighty Warriors, into ba
"Well, I'll be frank with you, Devon. President Wolf has saved Darius' life, and so we Hughes owe him one! If you intend to pick on him, you'll have to go through us first!" Alan replied curtly. "You!" Devon's expression was dark when he heard this. he thought Leon was just a useless nobody, but it seemed that he severely underestimated this man's potential! Not only did Leon help the Thompsons in the past, but now, the Hughes was also indebted to him for saving Darius! This was an accomplishment that no ordinary man could pull off, much less a "useless nobody" as he thought! However, Cynthion Group's potential for growth and business was so alluring to him that even with the Thompsons and the Hughes blocking his way, there was no way he could give up on this just like that! "Old Hughes, Angus, you asked for this! Since you're so adamant to continue protecting Leon, you shan't blame us Hiltons for not showing you any mercy then!" Devon threatened. He already came to a decisi
"How's this then, Angus, Old Hughes? Did you change your mind yet about us winning?" Devon snickered. He placed his hands behind his back in a stance of triumph, as though he already secured his victory! However, the reality was not too far off from his expectations; to triumph over the Thompsons, he summoned every last one of his guards, especially those at the Almighty State or Semi-Almighty State, to come with him, leaving only Declan, his second-in-command, to hold down the fort at home. Whereas the Hughes and the Thompsons, on the other hand, came unprepared and possibly brought only four or five Almighty Warriors along at most! There was no way they could match up against the Hiltons at all! "You—" Both Angus and Alan's faces sank at this realization. Just as Devon predicted, Angus brought only three warriors at the Initial Almighty State with him, whereas Alan, who arrived in an even greater hurry, managed to summon only two! They had only five Almighty Warriors in to
