Chapter 374

Author: Jason Chord
"Do you know your crime?" Adam's voice boomed like thunder, deafeningly loud.

Even though Lavinia was a peak grandmaster, Adam was a peak transcendent, a level far beyond hers. The gap between them was immeasurable.

At that moment, Lavinia's mind buzzed as if she was struck. It took her a while to recover, her face pale.

Lowering her head slightly, she said sincerely, "Mr. Pacc, may I ask what crime I have committed?"

"How dare you argue back?"

"Mr. Pacc, if I am indeed guilty, I will not deny or shirk my responsibility. But if I am innocent, I will absolutely defend myself with reason and evidence."

"Good!" Adam slammed the table, his voice icy as he said, "Listen carefully. What crime should unauthorized use of nuclear weapons warrant, according to the law?"

She replied, "It depends on the circumstances. If nuclear weapons are used to attack another country and cause massive casualties, it is a capital offense.

    Oasis Vale was isolated from the rest of the world. Few knew that in this peaceful valley lived a group of extraordinary people, including the overlords of the criminal underworld, business magnates with net worths that rivaled countries, and even core government officials of various countries.It was noon, and Gideon Snow walked out of the cottage with a basket in hand."Sir!"Ajax Bale, a burly, heavily bearded man, scrambled up to Gideon as he herded the goats around him. "As per your punishment, I have tended to the goats for a month. Today is the last day. What should I do next?""You can start harvesting the wheat next.""That's my job, sir! What am I supposed to do if Ajax takes over?" Donald Ingleson, Cherony's minister of defense, asked with a pitiful expression."You can be in charge of cleaning up the dung.""You got it, sir."Gideon had only taken a few more steps when someone approached him and reported, "Sir! Justin Mugler, the military commander of Magaria, and P

    "I knew it! It's just as I thought. I knew you didn't die, you old bugger! You tricked me for three years!"Gideon hadn't found a body in the grave, but he had expected as much. Titus had been an enigmatic figure who possessed extraordinary abilities. Why would someone like that abruptly claim to have come to his life's end and decide to bury himself? It was unthinkable.Nevertheless, Gideon couldn't disobey Titus, his mentor, so he had to do as told and guard the grave for three years."If I don't get a treasure that's to my satisfaction, Titus, that means you wasted three years of my youth. I'll make you pay for that at some point," Gideon grumbled.Alas, even after combing through the entire grave thoroughly, he found nothing other than a letter."You old con artist," Gideon ranted before opening the envelope with a scowl on his face. He found two pages of a letter.After he read the first page, his scowl of dissatisfaction was replaced by a moved expression. According to the

    "No!" the crowd screamed, but the suicide operative merely cackled evilly.Yet, all was silent. There was no explosion.Even the suicide operative was stumped. He kept spamming the red button, but nothing happened. He had no clue that a silver needle had been shot into the controller, cutting off the circuit.At the same time, Benny and Derek shot down the two armed operatives, while the bomb-strapped one was hit in all four limbs and fell onto a pool of his blood. The airport police swiftly swarmed in to subdue him."Let go of me! This is impossible! Why didn't it explode? Why?" the suicide operative screamed at the top of his lungs."This proves that fate favors Dasovia and me," Lavinia declared icily. "Tylland has committed many atrocities and will surely come to a terrible end. Take him away and interrogate him."Slowly, peace returned to the departure hall. The passengers, who were still reeling from the ordeal, came up to Lavinia with looks of awe and respect."It is truly

    "Dominic Zeller?" Gideon repeated. Frowning, he remarked, "The name sounds familiar to me.""He's a good friend of Hercule's, sir! Hercule mentioned that to you before.""I remember now."When Gideon first captured Hercule and brought him back to Oasis Vale, Hercule claimed that Dominic would be coming to save him.Dominic had indeed turned up, but it wasn't Gideon he faced. Paul, Ajax, and a few others had given him a thorough thrashing, and he fled with his tail between his legs.Smiling, Leopold explained, "Somehow, Dominic heard that you'll be coming to Goldspire, so he dared not stick around to act like a big shot here. He came to me and offered Beaker Island to be your residence."Gideon chuckled. "He's quick-witted and amenable, I see. Did he mention anything about wanting to save Hercule from Oasis Vale?""He said he wouldn't dare to and that it would be good for Hercule to undergo some training at Oasis Vale," Leopold replied. "In fact, he said that if given the chance,

    "How is he not good enough for you?" Arnold fumed. "Your grandfather was a farmer, too! He built the family business from the ground up, and that is how our family's wealth came to be! "He doted on you the most before he passed away. I don't want to see you disobeying his dying wish! This marriage is going to happen. I won't let you back out of it!""Mr. Seymour."Gideon had arrived.Arnold hurried through the door and greeted with a smile, "Gideon! You're finally here. We've been waiting for you. Do come in!"Gideon didn't expect Arnold to be this welcoming. As Arnold ushered Gideon into the house, he called out, "Ella, hurry up and head to the city hall with Gideon to get the marriage registered. I'll pick a good date for you guys to have the ceremony.""I don't want to, Dad!""If you don't listen to me, I'll freeze your bank account and cut off your allowance! I'm not letting you have your way with this. You're going to do as I say. Anyone who protests will suffer my wrath

    "How dare you hit me, Gideon? How dare you call me a lackey?" Eric shrieked in fury as he clutched his face."Why not?""Do you think you Snows still possess the prestige you once had? Do you think you're still Gideon Snow, one of the Four Elites of Goldspire? I'll show you the price you'll have to pay for hitting me and humiliating us Grosses!"Eric wanted nothing more than to rip Gideon to pieces, and he swore to take Gideon down."I'll be waiting," Gideon retorted condescendingly. "You'd better not disappoint me. Also, pass your family a message for me. Tell them to be prepared for when I buy out Gross Group."Eric was flabbergasted, but after a moment, he mocked, "You must've gone mad, Gideon. To think you'd say such ridiculous things. You want to buy out our company? With what? Just wait, all of you! It's over for the Snow family!"And with that, he stormed out of the Snow residence.Only then did Cormac bellow, "Look at what you did, Gideon! The Grosses will surely join fo

    After leaving Gideon at the city hall half an hour ago, Elara had been in such a foul mood that she went to a bar to drown her sorrows in alcohol. By sheer coincidence, she bumped into Matthew Carter.He was the handsome and talented son of the Carters of Goldspire, and they had been classmates at college, too. Over time, they became great friends who confided everything in each other. In fact, she considered him her bosom friend despite him being a guy."Why are you upset, Ella? Tell me what happened," Matthew asked in concern as he patted Elara's hand."I don't even want to talk about it. I got married.""What did you say?" Matthew exclaimed in shock. Frowning, he asked, "You're joking, right? Why would you have gotten married out of the blue? This is my first time hearing about this."Elara replied in frustration, "It was my dad who arranged this marriage for me. He made me marry a stinking farmer! We even got our marriage license already."Matthew's expression turned dark.E

    "Thanks to you, Matthew, we get to share in this honor, too! I never even dreamed of being able to partake in such precious wine.""I have to take a photo of it and share it on my feed!"While everyone else showered Matthew with flattery, he was utterly confused as well. The Carters were merely a run-of-the-mill wealthy family without much prestige. Meanwhile, the owner of Twilight Bar was a big shot in the criminal underworld.They belonged to two entirely different social classes, so why was he being given such expensive wine?"Hey, Matthew. Is this a sign that the Carters are about to make it big? Why else would the owner of Twilight Bar give you this wine?""Well, about that…"Matthew didn't know what to say, but after a brief moment, he came up with an idea. Straightening up, he said with a smile, "Since this has happened, I won't try to hide it any longer. A few days ago, I had the honor of receiving the recognition of the chairperson of Avila Group. "She said she was int

    "On the other hand, I've also received word that Lord Haine has allied with several influential figures and is absolutely determined to have you punished! That's a major obstacle. In short, we need to be prepared," Cody added."Lavinia, you don't need to worry. Even if it comes down to punishment, I'll make sure you leave Drammore safely." Cody's tone was resolute and unwavering.There was no way he would allow the woman he admired to be punished. He couldn't bear the thought of such a situation.Seanno was deeply moved, while Lavinia didn't know what to say. Cody had truly gone above and beyond for her."You know." Lavinia took a deep breath and spoke solemnly, "Since I've decided to return, I've been mentally prepared. No matter the outcome, I'll face it calmly. I absolutely won't run away. I don't want to repeat this again. "It's late. You should stay here at my home tonight."With that, she left the room first.Seanno smiled wryly. "Cody, that's just how Lavinia is. Don't t

    In the early hours of the morning, Lavinia returned to Drammore. However, instead of going to the Ministry of Defense, she went straight to her family's home.This time, she returned without notifying anyone else. She only informed her father, Seanno."Lavinia." Seanno, who had been waiting anxiously for Lavinia, his pride and joy, was overcome with emotion and wept tears of relief as they embraced.After a moment, his eyes reddened as he sighed. "Why did you come back now? You know how dangerous this is. I even went to speak with the mayor of Drammore. You know how highly he thinks of you. He even tried to match you with Cody."Cody Freeman was the son of Donovan Freeman, Drammore's mayor.Countless young women from prominent families hoped to catch Cody's attention. However, he wasn't the typical playboy but instead an exceptionally capable individual.That said, he had suffered from a strange illness years ago, leaving him physically frail.Since childhood, he had dreamed of

    Ronan spoke in a serious tone, "You need to be careful. The lineage of the Ritualists is indeed powerful and unpredictable, but it's also deeply entangled in karmic consequences. In the end, they rarely meet a good fate."Before inheriting the legacy, Gideon would have scoffed at such a statement. But now, after obtaining the inheritance and gaining some understanding of the Ritualists lineage, he no longer dismissed it and instead took it very seriously."We'll take it one step at a time. For now, there's a secret ritualistic technique that can suppress the frenzy poison in my body, and that's my top priority.""As long as you're clear on what you're doing," Ronan said, stretching lazily. With a smile, he added, "Once this matter is settled, let's part ways here."Gideon asked, "Mr. Foley, where are you headed?""No idea." Ronan had an air of an otherworldly sage.He chuckled. "I'll roam the world, seeking opportunities to further refine my Doombringer Knuckle. Kid, you need to

    "Frenzy poison?" Marie frowned slightly and snorted coldly. "He deserves it. He took possession of our clan's inheritance scroll and got harmed by the frenzy poison. It serves him right." Winter shook her head. "No, ma'am, it's not like that. I used him. He helped me retrieve the inheritance scroll and ended up being afflicted by the frenzy poison. Ma'am, he doesn't have much time left. Do you have a way to cure him?" Marie stared at Winter, her gaze meaningful. "Winter, I can see that you care deeply about him, don't you?" "Yes." Winter didn't deny it. She spoke with utmost seriousness, "My sister was captured by the Spirale clan, and I need Gideon's help to rescue her." "What?" Marie was both shocked and furious. Winter cried, "My sister is only nine years old. I don't know how she's being treated by the Spirale clan. I must save her, and all my hopes rest on Gideon. He can't die." "Entangled by karma." Marie sighed, stroking Winter's silver hair. "Winter, there will inev

    "The Ice Tribe!" Gideon murmured to himself.The sound of a creaking door caught his attention, and he turned to see an elderly woman slowly emerging from the thatched cottage. She was bent over, leaning on a walking stick, and her disheveled hair hung in front of her face, giving off a deathly presence. It was clear she was very old, possibly on the brink of death. To Gideon's surprise, he also detected a sense of threat emanating from her. It was both unexpected and remarkable. Ronan whispered, "Don't underestimate her. This old woman is a formidable figure." Gideon nodded. Marie Hattle approached Winter and took hold of her wrist. After a brief moment, she let out a sigh and said, "It's been so long since a descendant of our royal bloodline has appeared. My lifetime of work has not been for nothing." Tears streamed down Winter's face.Marie comforted, "Do not shed tears, child. Our tribe has not disappeared completely. There are still numerous branches scattered beyo

    Late at night, in the grand hall of Bukmond Mansion, Odin, Aiden, and a group of generals all wore serious expressions. Two days ago, the Cabinet and Ministry of Defense of Drammore had jointly sent a letter demanding Lavinia's arrival within three days. It was clear that this was related to the use of nuclear weapons, as the letter was filled with underlying anger from both parties. This was certainly not a positive development. With only one day left until the three-day deadline, everyone was deeply concerned. "Ms. Mosley," they said, their worry evident in their voices.Lavinia managed to force a bitter smile as she replied, "Don't worry about it. Whatever is meant to happen will happen. After all, I am a five-star Ms. Mosley. The worst-case scenario would simply be losing my title and returning to my previous status. No real harm done." Odin's tone was serious as he spoke, "Ms. Mosley, the situation in Drammore is complex. The powerful individuals who previously pursued

    In the blink of an eye, the army of 100,000 had already suffered a loss of 30,000 soldiers, and more than half of the beast groups were killed or wounded. The thick smell of blood filled the sky, reaching even the distant Bukmond. The once peaceful sky in the direction of Mount Munmere now appeared as a bloody red. Lavinia, along with veteran generals like Odin and Aiden, was taken aback by the scene. Even the most battle-hardened soldiers were horrified, having never witnessed such utter devastation before, despite their experiences in numerous wars both large and small."Report!""Satellite monitoring shows that the southwest area of Mount Munmere has completely fallen, and a quarter of Mount Munmere has been destroyed."Lavinia nodded slightly. Odin said, "Ms. Mosley, should we continue?" "There's no need." Lavinia shook her head. She was hesitant to resort to nuclear strikes again. It seemed too inhumane, not out of concern for the enemy but for the beasts that inhabit

    "Holy shit!" Aiden was stunned on the spot. What was that? It was a nuclear weapon. Lavinia was actually using a nuclear weapon directly. No wonder she had ordered him to lead the troops back quickly. At this moment, Aiden was filled with profound admiration, astounded by Lavinia's extraordinary courage and determination! Aiden shouted, "Quick! Get back to the city!"The 30,000 soldiers were also extremely nervous. Their feelings were a mixture of curiosity and anticipation. The use of nuclear weapons was a rare event globally, making this a unique opportunity to witness it firsthand. Without a doubt, Mount Munmere would be completely destroyed by the explosion."Report! Zone One is ready!" "Report! Zone Two is ready!" "Report! Zone Three is ready!" "Report…"A series of reports shot up to the city gate tower of Bukmond, reaching Lavinia's ears. All 18 nuclear zones were fully prepared.It was too late to change course now, as this matter was like an arrow released
