Al flashed a sinister smile as he raised his arm to block Myles' hand. However, what he had not expected was that Myles' seemingly casual slap carried an unbelievably terrifying force. Al could not withstand Myles' attack. He did not even manage to soften the blow.The crisp sound of the slap echoed throughout the room, and Al was instantly sent flying. He crashed into a chair with a loud thud, shattering it to pieces."What the—"Everyone's eyes widened in shock. They were stunned by the scene unfolding before them. Hunter was already strong enough, but he was powerless against Al, which showed just how terrifying Al's strength was.Yet, the supposedly fearsome Al had been slapped across the room by Myles. It was something that seemed utterly impossible.Still, Al climbed back up, his eyes filled with fury and murderous intent as he glared at Myles."Kid, I really underestimated you. I let my guard down, and you caught me by surprise!"The crowd suddenly understood. It made s
Al clutched his bleeding wrist in a panic, desperately trying to stand. However, Myles planted a foot on his shoulder, pressing him down with immense force."Let me go! I need to get to the hospital," Al demanded. He was both frightened and furious as his blood was flowing out uncontrollably.He knew that if he did not get medical help soon, he could bleed to death."Your memory seems bad—you still haven't cleaned my shoe," Myles reminded him calmly.Al seethed with anger, but feeling his strength ebb away, he quickly caved and licked Myles' shoe.He immediately gagged, and the sight made everyone else in the room feel queasy.Only then did Myles remove his foot. He never bullied the weak, but that did not mean he was without a temper.Catalina, brimming with excitement, turned to Christopher and said, "Mr. Alaister, I apologize for his rough handling of your man. You should take him to the hospital immediately; we'll cover all medical expenses."Christopher's expression darken
Now in a fresh pair of shoes, Myles also appeared at the venue, though he remained in a corner. He sensed that today's investment conference might not go smoothly and suspected his enemies would try to stir up trouble.However, he was not worried. In fact, he seemed eager for it.The conference was set to start at 10:00 am, but people had already started arriving by 8:00 am. The entrance of the group was packed, with reporters swarming around, all vying to capture the grand event.However, only a select few were actually allowed inside.Luna and her family were also among the crowd, anxiously waiting for Parker to arrive."Mr. Quill, over here!" Luna waved as soon as she spotted Parker from afar."Sorry to keep you waiting, but I've brought some good news," Parker said with a smile."What good news?" Luna asked curiously.Parker replied, "You've heard about the new medicine developed by Divine King Group called Gramen Pills, right?"Luna nodded. "I've heard about it, but didn'
"This guy must be joking, claiming to be the Divine King. What nonsense!""Exactly, pretending to be the Divine King? That's unforgivable. This guy must have a death wish!"The crowd mocked Myles openly."Shut up! The Divine King is my ultimate idol, and you think you can impersonate him? This is pure disrespect!" Luna was furious, her disappointment with Myles reaching its peak.Scamming people was one thing, but now, he was desecrating her idol. That was simply unforgivable."I'm not pretending. What I said is true—I really am the Divine King!" Myles insisted."Enough, just shut up! Myles, I never thought you'd become like this. How long has it been since our divorce? Now, you're not only lying but also pretending to be the Divine King. Haven't you thought about the consequences of your actions?" Luna snapped."I'm not pretending. I really am the Divine King. As for lying and cheating, what are you even talking about?" Myles asked, clearly confused.Parker sneered, "Still act
Stetson Thornton—this name was well-known in Jonesburg. Despite his advanced age, he was the grand elder of the Goldberg Gang, a figure who struck fear into everyone who heard his name.Luna was both flattered and overwhelmed. "Hello, Mr. Thornton. It's a pleasure to meet you. I hope you can guide me in the future."Smiling, Stetson said, "Ms. Wright, this may be the first time we've met, but I've seen you many times before. Over the past few years, there quite a few troublemakers have tried to cause problems at your company, and I was the one who took care of them.""What…" Luna was left speechless. As a young and attractive woman running a business, she often attracted harassment from thugs and scoundrels.Each time someone showed up, they would disappear without a trace soon after. She had never understood why until now. It turned out it was Stetson who intervened."Mr. Thornton, we don't know each other well, yet you've gone out of your way to help me. I must visit you another
"Isn't Ms. Castillo, Mr. Castillo's granddaughter, looking for him everywhere? I say we should just tie him up and hand him over to her," someone suggested.Many others chimed in, agreeing with the idea.Luna turned to Myles and said, "Myles, you should just apologize to Aren. If you're sincere about it, Aren will forgive you. Plus, when I meet the Divine King, I can ask him to help settle things with Ms. Castillo."Myles shook his head. "I don't need that.""Myles, can't you be more mature? I'm trying to help you, but you're being ungrateful. Is your pride really worth this much?"Do you even understand the mess you're in? We can overlook the fact that you hit Aren, but do you think you can handle Ms. Castillo's wrath?""That's none of your concern," Myles replied before turning to leave, but a group of people surrounded him and blocked his way."Myles, I really think you should apologize," Luna insisted.Myles turned back to her with a cold expression. "None of you are qualif
Myles chuckled softly before saying, "You're not entirely wrong. There's one thing you got right; bringing down the Alaister family is truly as simple as moving my lips."The crowd burst into laughter again, dismissing his words as mere bravado. They were not taking him seriously at all."You're really something, you know that?"Pierce was furious, and he raised his hand to slap Myles across the face.He was not aware of Myles' easy victory over Al. Otherwise, he would never have been so reckless. However, Myles kept his hands behind his back, showing no intention of retaliating or even dodging.As Pierce's slap was about to land, Byrd suddenly grabbed his arm and delivered a sharp slap to his face.Everyone was stunned. They could not believe that this seemingly gentle woman would dare strike, especially someone like Pierce.Pierce clutched his stinging cheek in disbelief. "You wretch! How dare you hit me?"Before he could finish his sentence, Byrd slapped him again. "Watch yo
Everyone present was infuriated, but Byrd had brought along a few sharp-looking men in suits who seemed formidable, so no one dared to act rashly.Pierce looked up at Byrd and said, "Miss, you're clearly top-notch in both looks and demeanor. You have a bright future ahead of you. Why are you choosing to throw it all away by sticking with him?"Byrd gave him a scornful smile, the kind that made it seem like she was looking at a clown.Not willing to give up, Pierce continued, "Miss, I think you've been misled by him. He's just a worthless son-in-law who was kicked out of the Wright family. He has no power, no money, and no skills—a complete loser. Even a mudskipper in a dirty ditch is a thousand times better than him!"Byrd sneered, "You blind fool. Not just among those present, but even in the entire world, there's no one who can compare to him."Pierce chuckled bitterly and shook his head."Miss, it seems you've been thoroughly deceived by him. I don't know how he tricked you, b
