The only solace Sebastian felt when answering the call was that it wasn't from his father—just an unknown number.

He forced himself to remain calm and answered, "Hello, who is this?"

"Is this Sebastian Halton?" a cold and formal voice replied.

"Yes, it's me," Sebastian said cautiously.

"This is the Governmental Accountability Office of Aloport. We've received reports that you're involved in multiple instances of corruption and misconduct. You are hereby summoned for investigation. Where are you currently located?"

The words hit Sebastian like a thunderbolt. His face turned pale, and his body trembled.

No official could remain composed upon hearing from the Governmental Accountability Office—it was a bureaucratic nightmare capable of ending careers overnight.

"T-There must be some mistake," Sebastian stammered. "I'm—"

"No need for explanations. The office has issued an official summons. Where are you right now?" the voice interrupted.

"I-I'm in Goldspire, Verdura," he managed

    Marion added, "I support this decision wholeheartedly. Whoever objects to it will make an enemy out of me and Elara!"Arnold was stunned, to say the least. Since both Marion and Elara had already stood their ground, he decided not to go against them."Can't we wait a little longer? Let's give Gideon some time. Perhaps he might be able to help the Snows rise back to their former glory.""Dad, do you even believe the things you just said?"Elara stared at Arnold in the eye. The latter fell silent after hearing her words.Times were different now.The Snows' situation was already bad from the start. To make things worse, Gideon had gone missing for five years, meaning that he was alienated from society during that period. One could say that he was completely severed from the current business trends. If he truly wanted to bring glory back to the Snows, the chances of him succeeding were a lot lower than him winning a jackpot."Dad, I'm your only daughter. My happiness is the mos

    Kyla wanted nothing more than to witness Elara and Gideon getting a divorce right away. That way, she'd stand a chance in getting together with Gideon.Elara replied, "Alright. I'll call him right away.""Ella!" Arnold called out to her.Before he could continue speaking, Elara cut him off irritatedly, "Dad, you already gave me your word! Don't tell me you're going to stop me again! You're an elder now—don't change your mind on a whim!"Arnold was rendered speechless by Elara's words.Elara was about to call Gideon when she realized she didn't even have his phone number. "Dad, I don't have Gideon's phone number. I need you to call him and tell him to go to the courthouse. Let's go, Kyla."After that, both ladies left the house without looking back.Marion quickly urged, "What are you sitting around for? Hurry up and place the call!"Arnold could only sigh. Finally, he got in contact with Gideon."Gideon, where are you right now?""I'm at my family's company.""Um… I need to

    Gideon and Elara were forced into marriage anyway. Since they didn't have feelings for each other, divorce meant nothing to them. If anything, they'd feel relieved once they were free from their marital bond.It was just that Gideon had always been cold and aloof when it came to romantic relationships. He didn't have any urges at all.Waverly was a good example. Back then, Gideon had almost gotten engaged to Waverly. But now, he merely viewed her as his younger sister. He didn't like her romantically at all.Gideon gave Waverly and Qyra physical checkups. It turned out that both of them were recovering nicely. At least, color was restored to their faces, and their eyes were brimming with life once again."Gideon, we're sick and tired of staying on Beaker Island. Is it okay for us to go out and have fun?" Qyra asked pitifully.Waverly added, "My thoughts exactly!"Gideon replied with a smile, "Since you two asked nicely, why would I turn you down? Let's go. I'll take you out for a

    "What's your name, young lady?" Lavinia asked."I'm Anna Sullivan.""Here. Take this." Lavinia gave her own bangle to Anna. "This is my private token. Should you land yourself in trouble of any form, you can visit the Mosley family in Drammore with this bangle. You'll receive the help you need there."Anna was shocked. "Ms. Mosley, this token is too precious! I—""It's just an accessory. Just take it. Think of it as my gift to you for our first meeting." Lavinia then smiled at Anna. "Anna, can you contact the Warrior King right now? We're running out of time because of the dire situation at the border.""Okay. I'll give it a try."Anna stowed the bangle away carefully before calling Gideon on the phone.Unfortunately, Gideon had set his phone on airplane mode because he wanted to focus on enjoying the day with Waverly and Qyra. The call didn't go through at all."I'm sorry, Ms. Mosley. I can't reach him at the moment. I think Mr. Snow will be back soon. Why don't you stay i

    "You're a bunch of shameless pervs!"Waverly didn't spare the men's pride at all. She warned, "Please leave us alone! Otherwise, we'll call the cops on you!"The men cackled."What are they talking about? Calling the cops on us? Cutie, I guess you don't know who we are, eh?" a bald man crowed haughtily. "This beach resort belongs to me! Not only that, but I also own a few entertainment establishments here! My net worth is 300 million dollars, you know!"He continued, "This right here is the CEO of Lighthart Group! His net worth is a billion dollars! As for that man, he's…"The bald man introduced his companions one by one. All of them were billionaires.Qyra just huffed coldly. "So what? You're nothing to me! I'm going to warn you one more time—get out of my sight right now!""Oh? You're a feisty one, aren't you?"The bald man licked his lips while grinning lecherously. "I've seen too many women like you. You pretend to be innocent when you're secretly a whore on the inside.

    "Oh, shit!""I didn't expect the security team to react this quickly. There are so many of them, too. I think there are at least 100 guards at this point.""That guy's toast! Those two beautiful ladies most likely won't be able to escape from their fate, too!"The onlookers began muttering among themselves.The leader of the security guards roared ferociously, "How dare you beat up our boss, you punk! You really have the balls of steel, huh? I won't be able to rest easy unless I cripple you and torture you to the point you wish you'd have died!"As for you two slutty bitches… Heh! I'll make sure to imprint the ways of true ecstasy on your bodies later!"Waverly and Qyra looked terrified. They knew that Gideon was strong, but they had no idea how strong he actually was. Of course, they wouldn't assume that Gideon was strong enough to face hundreds of security guards on his own. That was practically impossible!What should they do?Waverly and Qyra hid behind Gideon in fright.

    The trio chose to dine at a restaurant that specialized in stews. Soon, they took their seats at a table.Waverly was still in awe and shock of what happened at the beach. "Gideon, you were so cool! I can't believe you actually defeated 100 people on your own!""It was nothing.""Gideon, what have you been doing in the past five years? Did you get yourself a mentor and learn how to fight?" Waverly asked curiously.Gideon nodded. "In a way, yeah. I picked up many skills on the way. They're all necessary to my plans.""Gideon, why don't you give us a sneak peek? Where on earth were you over the past five years?" Qyra looked very curious.Waverly was eager to hear his answer, too.Gideon smiled at them. He was about to respond to them when a middle-aged woman appeared next to his table."Hello, sir.""Hmm?"Gideon raised an eyebrow. "Who are you?""Hello, sir. Who I am isn't important. What's important is that my mistress is very interested in you. You're a very skilled fighter

    "I understand now, Ms. Steele. I'll get it done right away."The middle-aged woman looked quite excited. She had already made up her mind to inform Kingsley Manson, the strongest man in Iron Fist Guild, to teach Gideon a proper lesson.…Gideon, Waverly, and Qyra decided to go for a soak in the hot spring after their meal. This was Waverly's request. It seemed that she planned on showing off her figure in front of Gideon on purpose.After all, Gideon was still stuck in a cooling-off period before his divorce. In a month, he'd be a bachelor once again. Waverly needed to make some preparations in advance in order to plant a seed of romance in Gideon's heart. She still had feelings for him after all these years.When they were about to head toward the hot spring, Anna's phone call came through."Sir, when are you coming back? Ms. Mosley is still waiting for you!""Tell her to get lost.""What?" Anna seemed shocked. She had no idea that there was a discord between Gideon and La

    "Sir, something terrible has happened!" The butler's panicked shout brought the entire crowd to a standstill.Caspian's face darkened.This was the critical moment of the apprenticeship ceremony, and someone dared to cause a scene. Outrageous!"You insolent fool! Can't you see Timothy is in the middle of the ceremony? Who allowed you to shout like this? Someone, drag him out and give him a hundred whips!""Sir, it's a major issue!"Caspian's eyebrows twitched.The butler had served him faithfully for over a decade and was usually calm and composed. For him to lose his cool like this, the matter had to be serious.Hanson was equally displeased. He said coldly, "What could be so major? What could possibly happen to the Yates family? Does anyone in Goldspire not know that I am accepting Timothy as my disciple today? Who dares create trouble at this moment?"In the audience, toward the back of the crowd, Ruby sneered.

    Meanwhile, Gideon and Geoffrey returned to Beaker Island, and the process of refining the Rejuvenation Pill began.Considering it was an ancient formula, refining it was exceedingly difficult. With such a limited amount of precious herbs available, extreme caution was required. Any mistake, like an explosion in the furnace, would mean losing everything.Fortunately, Geoffrey's skills were solid. With Gideon's timely guidance, they finally succeeded in refining a batch of Rejuvenation Pills after a full day and night."It's done! It's finally done!" Geoffrey was overjoyed.Succeeding once meant succeeding a second, third, or countless more times. It was easy to imagine the impact. Once this long-lasting Rejuvenation Pill was introduced to the world, it would create a storm!Who didn't want to look good? Not just women—men, too. The entire world would go crazy for it. Endless wealth would pour in."Sir, since this ancient formula for the Rejuvenation Pill came from you, I've decide

    Ruby was stunned. Earlier, it had taken her a while to confirm what the Jadeblood Herb was.But now, Geoffrey had identified it as the best quality Jadeblood Herb the moment he got his hands on it. His sharp eyes were truly impressive.Geoffrey glanced at Ruby and snorted coldly. "Where did this little girl come from? She lacks manners!""Old man, who are you calling rude?" Ruby retorted arrogantly.Gideon interjected, "She's the daughter of the Mosley family in Drammore. Her sister is the only female war hero in Dasovia, Lavinia Mosley.""Is that so?"Ruby smirked smugly. "Old man, do you still think I'm rude now?"Geoffrey snorted. "The little Mosley family, with just one war hero, means nothing in my eyes!""You!" Ruby was furious.What was it with Goldspire? It seemed to be full of people pretending to be all high and mighty.First, it was Tanner. Now, Geoffrey came along spouting nonsense and acting so arrogant."Don't bother with her." Gideon then asked, "What treasure

    Although Draconis Sanctuary was ancient, it was quite expansive.Finding a serene bamboo grove, Ruby sat on a stone bench. Her playful demeanor from earlier was gone, replaced with an aloof and haughty air.With a serious expression, she said, "I've heard that you have a marriage agreement with my sister?""I knew it would be about this nonsense." Gideon sighed in exasperation. "I've already called off the engagement, so don't worry. I won't stoop to clinging to the Mosleys. Are you satisfied?""It's good you have some self-awareness, but even though you've annulled the engagement, the matter isn't resolved yet!""What do you mean by that?"Ruby didn't know how to respond for a moment.Should she tell him that her father wholeheartedly supported this marriage and intended for Lavinia to bring him into the family for the wedding?If she said that, Gideon might change his mind and shamelessly insist on marrying Lavinia.Ruby's eyes darted as she thought, then she said, "Here's t

    Gideon's words struck like thunder. Everyone in the crowd was stunned.That was Tanner, the eldest son of the Yates family and a figure of considerable status in Goldspire.Yet, he had been struck! And… so miserably at that!The crowd watched as Tanner's face swelled on one side, looking like a pig's head, with blood streaming from his nose."Ah!"After the initial shock came the searing pain.Tanner screamed in agony. Then, he flew into a rage, roaring with a ferocious expression, "How dare you hit me! I'll kill you!""What's with the aggression? It's not like this is the first time I've hit you. Tanner, I used to knock you around quite a bit back in school. Don't tell me you've forgotten?" Gideon said with a teasing smirk.As kids from wealthy families, they had both attended the prestigious Goldspire Academy. Back then, Tanner had been arrogant and loved bullying female classmates, often ending up being beaten down by Gideon.Tanner froze, staring at Gideon for a moment bef

    Could Ruby really be someone important?Tanner wasn't a fool. As one of Goldspire's rising stars, he was already considering backing down.However, the crowd was watching. To make matters worse, some troublemakers in the audience began stirring things up."Mr. Yates, this girl's got a fiery temper. You should put her in her place!""Yeah! Mr. Yates, are you really going to let a woman get the better of you?""Come on, Mr. Yates. Don't disappoint us!""Just take her down already!"The jeers grew louder, escalating by the moment.Tanner found himself stuck between a rock and a hard place.One of his personal bodyguards spoke in a low voice, "Mr. Yates, she's just a girl. Even if she has some kind of background, the Yates family has nothing to fear. We are about to make a big move, and we need to build our reputation. "The family will be a laughingstock if you back down in front of so many people today!"Tanner seemed thoughtful.Recently, Goldspire had been rife with activit

    "Is Draconis Sanctuary really the largest medicinal herb market in Emberstone?" Geoffrey was skeptical, feeling the place seemed rather modest."It should be. I haven't been here before, but don't compare Draconis Sanctuary to Healers Valley. That's a whole different level."Gideon checked the time and said, "I won't be joining you. Go find the herbs on your own."After Geoffrey left, Gideon headed toward Draconis Sanctuary.At the end of the street stood Mount Dragonback, atop which an ancient temple known as Draconis Sanctuary resided. During festivals, the temple was packed with worshippers, and it often attracted the wealthy and influential who came to give offerings.Not long after he started walking, Gideon found his path blocked.A crowd had gathered ahead, and it wasn't clear what was happening. He was about to take a detour when he overheard a conversation."That girl is really bold. She actually dared to disrespect Mr. Yates!""No kidding. This is going to be trouble.

    From the aircraft, an elderly man with white hair stepped down. Though advanced in years, his face was radiant, and his energy was strikingly vigorous."Sir!" The old man hurried to Gideon, dropping to one knee."Stand up," Gideon said with a faint smile. "Geoffrey, you look like you've been living pretty well. Last year in Oasis Vale, you weren't exactly pulling your weight."The white-haired elder looked visibly awkward.If anyone discovered that the master of Healers Valley, the legendary Medicine Sovereign, was kneeling so humbly, they would likely be utterly shocked.This elderly man was none other than the Medicine Sovereign, Geoffrey Howell.Gideon led Geoffrey toward the palace as he asked, "What brings you to Goldspire?"Geoffrey replied, "Sir, it's nothing major. I've been developing a new elixir, but it still feels like something is missing. I hoped you could provide some guidance.""What concoction have you come up with this time?""This." Geoffrey retrieved severa

    "Is it about the company?" Lavinia asked."It is, Lav." Ruby massaged her temples. "Those bastards from the Hackle family are pushing too hard. At first, they just sold similar medicines to mine at a lower price."But now, they're turning up the pressure. A few medicinal suppliers I've been working with have caved and stopped cooperating with me.""How dare the Hackle family be this bold?""Exactly! But there's nothing we can do about it. Even Dad is furious." Ruby was clearly enraged.Just as Lavina was about to mention Harry's efforts to seek help from the Glevensky family, Ruby suddenly changed the topic."But now, there's a glimmer of hope.""What is it?""I got reliable information that the Medicine Sovereign of Healers Valley is coming to Goldspire!"Lavinia trembled slightly. Healers Valley was the most powerful medical organization in the world, with its pharmaceutical business spanning every corner of the globe.As the leader of Healers Valley, the Medicine Soverei
