Chapter 95

Penulis: Jason Chord
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

    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

    "Is this truly the Mystic Supreme Bone?" Gideon asked, still in disbelief that a fragment of a ninth-level apex overbeast's bone was now in his possession. Orabella smiled and replied, "You've got incredible luck. They've unknowingly set the stage for you, and they must be furious about it now." "By the way, what exactly can this Mystic Supreme Bone do? It has a majestic presence, but what is its actual use?" Gideon asked."You aren't familiar with it, are you? The Mystic Supreme Bone has numerous remarkable uses," Orabella explained seriously. "Firstly, it can be used to create weapons. The bone is extremely durable. "Although this small finger bone alone isn't sufficient to make a weapon, you can refine it and integrate it into your own hand, allowing it to merge with your finger bone.""Merge with my finger bone?" Gideon asked."Yes," Orabella said with anticipation, "If you succeed in the fusion, your finger bone will become unbreakable, and the power of a single finger st

    At the same time, Gideon and Pacino sprang into action, causing the three forces to clash and the glowing object to be tossed aside. As it landed, everyone could see it clearly. "A bone?" they exclaimed in surprise. They had anticipated discovering a rare treasure or a divine weapon, not a mere piece of bone. Upon closer inspection, it appeared to be a finger bone. It was as large as a palm and incomplete. It was evident that it couldn't belong to a human. It was clearly from a beast."Mystic Supreme Bone." Orabella gasped in amazement. At that moment, Pacino's eyelids twitched uncontrollably, and his aged eyes flashed with a fierce intensity. "Gideon, seize it quickly. That's the finger bone of an apex overbeast. It is Mystic Supreme Bone, with countless incredible applications. We can't let it slip away." In reality, as soon as Orabella had cried out, Gideon had already activated his Solar Titan Physique, exuding an air of dominance. "Doombringer Knuckle!" he shouted,

    "Harmoni, are you positive there's treasure here?" Brantley asked, wiping the sweat from his brow. He was standing at the bottom of the large pit, peering up at Harmoni with a doubtful expression. "I've dug this far, and there's still nothing. Is it possible you got it wrong?""No, it's definitely here," Harmoni insisted confidently. "Just keep trying." With no other option, Brantley resumed his digging. Just then, Gideon appeared at the doorway. Harmoni spun around, her eyes narrowing in surprise. "What are you doing here?" she exclaimed. "Hmm?" Gideon looked utterly confused. "Do we know each other?"Harmoni pressed her lips together and stayed quiet.Earlier, during the epic clash between Brightbane Sect and Naesbrey Fortress on the eastern plains, Gideon appeared and defended Umbra from Draven and his allies. He showcased remarkable strength during that encounter. Both Harmoni and Brantley had witnessed the battle, leaving them with a lasting impression of Gideon.W

    Gideon looked at Orabella with indifference and said, "Quit having your sights set on Elara!" "You think too highly of me." "What do you mean?" Gideon asked, but Orabella didn't respond. Instead, she turned away and left. Her hands, tucked inside her sleeves, had turned bluish, a sign of frostbite from the pure essence energy. Earlier, Orabella had indeed tried to use the Hellrend Severance Technique to seize Elara's pure essence core. However, she had not anticipated the strength of the core and nearly faced a backlash. Luckily, she stopped just in time, so only her hands ended up frostbitten.… A series of bombing sounds echoed at the entrance and exit.Cinque and Sei hurried over, furious at the sight. "You kids have a lot of guts coming to Bandit's Hollow to wreak havoc! Who gave you the audacity to do this?"As they spoke, a massive handprint struck toward them. Brantley glanced up, his eyes gleaming like lightning. He launched a punch. With a loud boom, the ha

    "We're almost there."Under the night sky, a massive winged beast raced through the air. On its back sat a man and a woman—Harmoni and Brantley."Harmoni, what exactly is this treasure you keep talking about?""Let's keep a little mystery. You'll know when we get there. But…" Harmoni's expression grew serious. "This treasure isn't going to be easy to obtain.""What do you mean?""Up ahead is Bandit's Hollow. The treasure is hidden within it. But Bandit's Hollow is home to seven fearsome hooligans. We are no match for them."Brantley smirked. "Then, why the hell are we even going?"Harmoni replied, "Talonclaw has some history with the leader of the seven hooligans. My grandfather once fought alongside him, so there's a bit of a connection."But my grandfather has long since passed. Our clan hasn't contacted him in years. I don't know if he'll honor my grandfather's memory and let us take the treasure."Brantley frowned. "If the treasure is in Bandit's Hollow, wouldn't they have

    As everyone knew, the Spirale Clan controlled highly advanced technological weaponry, a power that many coveted. Even the beast tribes kept a watchful eye on them, waiting for an opportunity.Once The Light Council and Gideon's forces launched their attack, chaos would inevitably follow. Various factions—including the beast tribes and those apex overbeasts—would all get involved, each seeking a share of the spoils.If word of this got out, it would shake nations across the world."This is big!""This isn't just any battle. It's an upheaval!""Gideon, Ms. Corthopp, you aren't messing with us, are you? You're seriously going after the Spirale Clan?"The seven hooligans suddenly felt that Gideon storming into Bandit's Hollow to humiliate them wasn't such a big deal.After all, he was now planning to attack the Spirale Clan.They could feel their perception of him shifting once again, elevating Gideon's status to an entirely new level.Orabella nodded. "Yes, we are. The Light Coun

    "Hm?" Pacino was taken aback.With a meaningful look, he asked, "Ms. Corthopp, what do you want to learn that for? The Hellrend Severance Technique is a vicious and sinister art. As a member of The Light Council, how could you study something like that?"Orabella smiled. "No technique is inherently good or evil. It all depends on how it's used."Pacino was no fool. Lowering his voice, he asked, "Ms. Corthopp, are you planning to strip Elara's pure-essence core?"She replied, "If the opportunity arises, I will.""For Gideon? Tsk! It seems Gideon holds quite a lot of weight in your heart." A strange smile spread across Pacino's face.Orabella asked again, "Mr. Albe, would you be willing to teach me? Consider it a favor. I'll repay you in the future."Pacino laughed and said, "Ms Corthopp, you hold a prestigious position in The Light Council. Having someone like you owe me a favor, that's a deal well worth making. I'll teach you the Hellrend Severance Technique right now.""I'd ap

    They had actually suffered a setback at the hands of some snot-nosed kid. If word got out, people would die laughing."How much farther are you planning to retreat?"At that moment, Gideon stopped in his tracks, took a deep breath to steady himself, and spoke in a detached tone, "Honestly, we're not even enemies. Ivo is dead. Why make an enemy of me for his sake?"Think about the consequences of crossing me. I could just leave Bandit's Hollow, but from that moment on, none of you would ever know peace again."Pacino's face darkened. "Are you threatening me?"Gideon shook his head. "I'm simply stating a fact. Making an enemy of me over a dead man is not a wise move."Besides, I have means of dealing an irreversible blow to you all. Initially, I intended to take you by surprise, but since I've already mentioned it, let me show you. Be careful!"Gideon waved his hand, and immediately, a mist began to spread.In an instant, the hooligans were horrified. They frantically retreated.

    "No!" Mea screamed hysterically.The broken blade was pulled out. Ivo's corpse collapsed to the ground like a pile of rotten flesh, making Mea dizzy, her vision going black."You're not dead! How is that possible?" Pacino was in disbelief.His aged eyes flashed with sharp light as he scrutinized Gideon, realizing that not only was Gideon alive, but his energy was still as powerful as ever, too.It was as if the past half hour inside that eerie mist hadn't affected him in the slightest.How could this be?Gideon sneered. "What? Disappointed? That mist is indeed strange, but unfortunately, it has no effect on me.""Impossible!" "Nothing is impossible. There's a lot you don't know." Gideon was full of mockery, but his face quickly turned cold. "Now, I'll give you a chance. Hand over Elara, and we can go our separate ways peacefully. Otherwise… suffer the consequences!"Pacino sneered. "Gideon, so what if you're still alive? Do you really think you can escape?""Pacino, kill him
