The Hidden Divine King Chapter 18
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

Callum quickly chimed in, "Mr. Pierce is absolutely right! This annoying fly is utterly insufferable. He's arrogant and disrespectful, and he doesn't even acknowledge us—let alone you, Mr. Schmidt. He acts like we don't exist!"Ben Smith, the head of the Smith family, added, "This fly's offenses go beyond mere arrogance. He dares to overstep his bounds by sitting on the throne meant for the Divine King. Such audacity is unforgivable!"Hearing this, Maddox clenched his teeth, his face turning ashen with rage. He could hardly believe that these people were bold enough to disrespect the hierarchy and humiliate the Divine King in such a manner.Pierce, still oblivious to the real cause of Maddox's anger, mistook Maddox's expression as fury directed at Myles."Mr. Schmidt, please don't be upset. It's our fault for letting this fly slip through. We'll throw him out immediately. By the way, did my father not come with you?" Pierce asked.Maddox responded with a cold smile, "If your fathe

Even so, the sight of Maddox kneeling on one knee left everyone in the room stunned. Their widened eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.Maddox was the wealthiest man in Jonesburg and a figure of immense influence. Yet, he was actually kneeling to a man they thought was a worthless ex-son-in-law. What was going on?No one was more stunned than Luna's family and Pierce's group."Mr. Schmidt, you must be mistaken! He's just a worthless ex-son-in-law. Why are you kneeling to him and greeting him so respectfully?" Ingrid asked, confused."Shut up!" Maddox roared, stepping forward and slapping her across the face. He coldly warned, "If you dare show any disrespect to Mr. Storey again, don't blame me for what happens to you next!"Ingrid turned pale with fear, and the others were similarly terrified into silence."Mr. Storey, I apologize for my late arrival," Maddox said, lowering his head in apology.Myles smiled and shook his head. "If you hadn't been late, I wouldn't have witn

"Understood."Maddox turned to Lance and said, "You heard Mr. Storey. From now on, the Alaister family is banished from Jonesburg!"Lance collapsed to the ground, his face drained of color. He immediately knelt and pleaded, "Mr. Schmidt, please show us mercy. You can deal with my unworthy son as you see fit; all I ask is that you spare the Alaister family."Meanwhile, Pierce was paralyzed with fear. He never imagined that the man he saw as a worthless son-in-law could bring his entire family to ruin with just one sentence."Begging me won't help," Maddox said, his tone filled with hidden meaning.Lance immediately understood and turned to Myles, pleading, "Mr. Storey, it was my son who disrespected you. I'll expel him from the family and leave him at your mercy."Also, since I was late, I'm willing to donate half of my fortune to aid impoverished families. I beg you to show us leniency and spare the Alaister family.""Your son tried to cut off my livelihood, and I'm merely respo
The Hidden Divine King Chapter 25
Callum immediately dropped his smile, his tone turning angry. "Mr. Storey, I respect that you can make Mr. Schmidt treat you with such deference, but asking all the top-tier families here to cut off their own paths is just going too far.""That's right. Out of respect for Mr. Schmidt, we're willing to apologize and even part with half of our fortunes if needed, but cutting off our own paths is out of the question," Ben scoffed."How dare you!" Maddox rebuked them sharply.Ben responded, "Mr. Schmidt, you're a pillar of Jonesburg, respected by all. Out of respect for you, we're willing to apologize and make amends, even give up half our assets. But his demand for us to sever our own paths is simply too much.""The head of the Smith family is right—this demand is excessive.""Indeed, this condition is unacceptable," others echoed.Myles sneered, "If you refuse to cut off your own paths, then your families have no reason to continue existing."Ben chuckled darkly. "You sure talk bi
