"Such an eyesore," Marion muttered under her breath as the family gathered in the living room.

Arnold cleared his throat and addressed Gideon, "Gideon, I called you back because we're expecting guests soon—Marion's sister, Maisy, and her family."

"Understood," Gideon replied with a nod.

The sisterly competition wasn't new to Gideon. He knew this was another chapter in their ongoing rivalry.

Marion cut in sharply, "Gideon, you overheard what I said earlier, didn't you? I suggest you quietly step aside. I'll have Matthew come over. There's no way you can compete with Maisy's son-in-law."

Gideon smiled faintly. "How can you be so sure before I've even met him?"

"You're all talk!" Marion sneered. "Their son-in-law is a government official with real connections and a promising future.

"And you? A so-called head of a failing family with a company on the brink of bankruptcy? What could you possibly bring to the table? Please enlighten me!"

Gideon leaned back casually. "Even world lea

    The atmosphere grew tense, with awkwardness hanging in the air. Elara didn't know how to respond. Saying Gideon was the head of a family sounded impressive, but anyone who looked deeper would discover the truth—he was leading a declining household on the brink of financial ruin. It would be mortifying.Noticing the hesitation on Elara's and Marion's faces, Maisy's spirits soared. Her instincts told her that Gideon was no match for Sebastian. Feeling smug, she couldn't help but revel in the moment.Maisy had spent her entire life competing with Marion and losing. When Marion married Arnold, the Seymour family was prosperous and prominent, making Marion's marriage a glamorous affair. In contrast, Maisy had married Kristian, who was then a lowly salesperson. Though she'd been frustrated by his lack of status, Kristian's unwavering devotion won her over, and she chose love over status.Over the years, Kristian's fortunes turned. With the help of a well-connected benefactor, he built

    Sebastian set down his coffee cup, a polite smile on his face. "Mom, as a matter of fact, I do have two friends here in Goldspire."One is in the business world and runs a sizable company. The other comes from a powerful underworld family and is the heir to a prominent faction."His words instantly elevated the room's atmosphere. Maisy and Kristian beamed with pride. Sebastian's connections bolstered their social standing, after all. Even Arnold couldn't help but feel impressed—Sebastian truly lived up to his reputation, rubbing shoulders with the elite from both business and underground circles.Meanwhile, Marion seethed silently, her frustration aimed squarely at Gideon. She could barely contain her disdain for Gideon, who had embarrassed her to no end. Her anger boiled alongside Elara's. Their thoughts aligned—Gideon was dead weight. Divorce was the only option to save their family's dignity.Arnold, oblivious to the tension, praised Sebastian, "Sebastian, you're quite rem

    Arnold noticed the tension brewing and quietly pulled Gideon aside. "Gideon, this doesn't look good. I think Sebastian's trying to stir up trouble. You should just leave. There's no point staying here."Gideon smiled faintly. "Dad, don't worry. I'm not so useless that I'd let them walk all over me. Besides, what's the worst they can do? Eat me alive?"Arnold sighed heavily, unsure of what to say.Moments later, a commotion sounded outside the private room. A young man's voice rang out, loud and confident, "Sebastian, I'm here!"Sebastian rose and opened the door, greeting the newcomer with a broad smile. "Dawson! It's been a while.""Sure has," Dawson Hobbs replied with a laugh. "You've been so busy lately that I didn't think I'd catch you here in Goldspire."Turning to Kyla, Dawson grinned. "And this must be your wife. Stunning, as expected! You're one lucky guy, Sebastian.""Greetings, Mr. and Mrs. Seymour and Mr. and Mrs. Morin," he added, greeting the elders in the room with

    After downing over a dozen glasses, the difference between the two drinkers became glaringly obvious.Sebastian's face was flushed, and sweat dotted his forehead. His movements also grew unsteady. In stark contrast, Gideon remained composed, his expression calm, as if he'd been sipping water the entire time.It wasn't lost on anyone—Gideon was winning.Sebastian, noticing the imbalance, felt a surge of unease. Gideon's drinking capacity far exceeded his expectations. If this continued, he'd be the one hitting the floor."Sebastian," Gideon said, his tone even but with a faint hint of mockery, "I'm feeling a bit lightheaded. Should we keep going?"Hearing this, Sebastian's confidence reignited. So, Gideon was finally feeling it. He was just good at hiding it. Sebastian grinned slyly. "Of course, Gideon! Tonight, we drink to our hearts' content. Here. Take this bottle.""A full bottle?" Gideon raised an eyebrow. "Straight up," Sebastian declared, uncapping a bottle of high-pr

    "What are you doing? Are you really calling Rachel?" Elara looked at Gideon with skepticism.Gideon didn't reply, his calm demeanor unnerving. His silence made both Marion and Elara suspicious. Could he really have Rachel's number? They couldn't entirely dismiss the possibility. After all, Gideon was once the most prominent of Goldspire's Four Elites, while Rachel was among Goldspire's Three Beauties. A connection between them wasn't entirely far-fetched.But as Gideon dialed, his confidence wavered. The call didn't go through."What's wrong?" Arnold asked, noticing Gideon's momentary hesitation."She didn't pick up," Gideon replied. "She's likely in a meeting or dealing with something important."The change in Elara's and Marion's expressions was immediate—disdain and fury painted across their faces.For a brief moment, they had entertained the idea that Gideon might actually pull this off. Now, they felt utterly humiliated for even considering it.Even if Gideon once had

    Dawson froze, Terrence's furious words still ringing in his ears. "You ungrateful brat! I've told you countless times to keep a low profile, but no. You had to flaunt yourself everywhere! "And now look at what you've done—our entire family is ruined! The Hobbs family is done for! Decades of hard work are gone overnight…" "Dad?" Dawson shouted, panic overtaking him.The call abruptly ended. Dawson's hands trembled as he stared at his phone, his entire body cold as ice. It felt as though the walls were closing in, suffocating him.Dawson slumped to the ground, his face pale and lifeless. His mind raced, trying to comprehend what had just happened.He wondered who did this. He racked his brain, desperate to identify the culprit. But in recent weeks, he had been careful to avoid offending anyone of importance. He had no enemies powerful enough to orchestrate something of this magnitude.Then, a face flashed in his mind."Gideon!" He gasped.But he quickly shook his head, dism

    "What did you just say?" Rachel asked."Ms. Avila, our corporate account suddenly has five billion dollars deposited into it! What should we do?" The finance director was practically in tears, overwhelmed not with joy but with sheer panic.Five billion dollars wasn't just an astronomical sum—it was liquid cash. Even at its peak, the Avila family had never come close to handling this much cash. The finance director was terrified. Money of such a scale would undoubtedly attract attention from the banks, law enforcement, and regulatory authorities, making a joint investigation inevitable. How could they explain it? This wasn't just a financial windfall. It was a potential disaster."Ms. Avila, please think of something!" the director pleaded, nearly jumping out of his skin."Calm down," Rachel said, waving him off. "You can leave the room for now."The finance director hesitated but ultimately complied, shutting the door behind him.Rachel let out a long breath, staring at Gid

    Maisy tried to console Sebastian, "That's right, Seb. That trash Gideon must be completely finished by now.""Sebastian!" At that moment, a burly young man strode into the room."Cameron!" Sebastian's eyes lit up.This man was his friend from the underworld, Cameron Mitchell, who came from a family with considerable influence. Rumor had it they commanded a force of 800 men, making them a mid-tier power in Goldspire's underworld.Cameron asked with concern, "Are you alright, Sebastian?""I'm fine," Sebastian replied dismissively with a wave of his hand. "Where's Dawson? Isn't he with you? Have you dealt with Gideon yet?"Cameron hesitated, his expression awkward. "Not yet."Sebastian frowned. Cameron went on to explain, "Something happened. The Hobbs family suddenly suffered a devastating blow. And their company is on the verge of collapse.""What?" The Morins were immediately alarmed. Sebastian asked, "What's going on?""I'm not quite sure," Cameron replied. "All I know is

    "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.
