After Sylas and Claire departed the mansion in the Rolls–Royce, Denton, Gilmore, and the others returned to the villa’s living room.
Denton then inquired about Christopher’s trip to Star Gate in Oakhaven.
Christopher recounted how he had ventured to Sword Mountain, and met the third elder of Star Gate and the leader.
He also explained how the leader had agreed to assist the Carter family, dispatching Sylas and Julian, a top internal force martialist, along with over a dozen mid–level internal force martialists to Oakhaven. Christopher, though Sylas keeps emphasizing that he will ensure our family’s safety, he is just a mid–level internal force martialist.
“The most powerful among them is Julian, an elite force martialist. If the Black Hawks send elite force martialists outnumbering us, our family could be in danger.”
Denton was still a little worried and said.
Christopher added, “I did suggest to the third elder of Star Gate to send more powerful helpers.
“The elder agreed, but I didn’t expect that the head of Star Gate would only send his son and elite force martialist Julian.
“In the words of the Star Gate leader, ‘Given that Star Gate, a reputable faction in Oakhaven, stands with the Carter family, the Black Hawks wouldn’t dare make a move.”
Denton understood that Star Gate was trying to employ a strategy of intimidation.
If the Black Hawks knew their place and stayed away from the Carters, there would be no conflict between Star Gate and the Black Hawks
Thus, Denton could only hope this deterrent would work and Lawrence, along with the Black Hawks, would back off.
Meanwhile, Gilmore, seated on the sofa, remained silent throughout the discussion.
“The Star Gate is placing too much trust in itself and in Sylas,” he thought.
From his God’s eye, Gilmore could tell that Sylas was utterly incompetent. Instead of serving as a deterrent to the Black Hawks, Sylas and his team seemed more like liabilities.
So, relying on them to counter Lawrence and his group was a pipe dream.
Yet, Gilmore chose to keep his insights to himself.
However, he needed to do something to remedy the crisis of the Carter family.
Just then, the sound of footsteps echoed as Stephen entered the villa’s living room.
“Sir, our operatives near the Weston estate have made a crucial discovery.” Stephen said solemnly to Denton.
Denton inquired, “Stephen, speak up. What have they found?”
“About an hour ago, over a dozen individuals dressed in the robes of the Black–Hawks arrived at the Weston estate. Norman and Lawrence personally greeted them,” Stephen reported.
Denton’s face turned serious, a determined glint in his eyes. “Just as I suspected. After I injured Lawrence, he wasn’t willing to let it go. He’s called in reinforcements from the Black Hawks to exact his revenge. “Dad, should we contact Claire immediately and inform Sylas about this, urging them to return as soon as possible? Christopher suggested with concern.
However, Denton waved him off, “No need. Even though Lawrence’s backup has arrived, if they are planning their revenge, they wouldn’t choose broad daylight. So there’s no need to alert Claire for now: “Let Sylas and the others enjoy their sightseeing and relaxin bit

“Because there’s a good chance that Lawrence and his crew might strike our estate tonight.”
“Sir, I’ll immediately organize our guards, experts, and the Phantom Guards to prepare for tonight’s confrontation.” Stephen said, fire burning in his eyes, his voice filled with unwavering resolve. Denton nodded, “Go ahead.”
As evening approached, a blazing red sun hung at the horizon where the sky met the sea, casting shimmering, golden reflections upon the waters–a sight to behold.
On the soft sands of the beach, many couples wandered hand in hand in the glow of the setting sun. While the young men whispered sweet nothings, their partners blushed as rosy as the evening sky. However, one particular pair lacked the whispered romantic exchanges and blushing cheeks–Sylas and Claire.
Sylas was pulling out all the stops, trying to impress Claire, hoping to charm her with his da witty humor, and tales of his exploits.
ng looks,
He cracked jokes, shared amusing anecdotes, and conversed about everything under the sun. But Claire seemed unimpressed, a veritable ice queen. At most, she’d allow the faintest hint of a smile to play upon her lips, only for it to vanish within a heartbeat, her expression returning to its original frosty
state.
It wasn’t really her fault; she had been wary of Sylas from the very beginning.
If it weren’t for the Carter family’s need to seek assistance from the Star Gate, Claire would never have agreed to this sightseeing escapade.
She was well aware that Sylas was using this opportunity to get closer to her, but she wasn’t having any of it.
In her eyes, Sylas paled in comparison to Gilmore–he couldn’t hold a candle to him.
Thus, that entire day, even on that beach, no matter how eloquent or entertaining Sylas tried to be, Claire remained unfazed.
And she always had that ice–cold expression on her face.
Finally, Sylas seemed to lose his patience.
Or perhaps, he simply ran out of tricks.
He stopped in his tracks, his face serious, but his eyes radiating a certain dominance. “Claire,” he said, “Do you really believe I can’t compare to your boyfriend, Gilmore?”
Claire was taken aback, unsure of Sylas’s intentions. “Mr. McLean,” she responded, “Gilmore is who he is, and you are you. Why would you want to compare yourself to him?”
Undeterred, Sylas pressed on, his demanding gaze turning soft, “Alright, let me ask you this then. If I can eliminate all threats to the Carter family tonight, will you agree to be my girlfriend?”
It was as if he believed the affection in his eyes could melt the icy barrier around Claire’s heart.
But to Claire, Sylas just seemed tiresome.
No matter what he did for her, she would never develop feelings for him.
Gilmore already held that special place in her heart.
Smiling slightly, Claire replied, “Mr. McLean, let’s not joke about this. It’s getting dark; we should head back.”
“Claire, you don’t believe me?” Sylas retorted, determination evident in his voice. “Give me just an hour. It’s five in the evening now. Before six, before it gets dark, I’ll be back to show you I’m a man of my word.”
With that, Sylas turned on his heel and strode confidently toward the Rolls–Royce parked nearby, leaving Claire behind, her face reflecting complete bewilderment, trying to piece together what had just transpired.

Chapter 182
On the coastal road, bathed in the evening glow, a Rolls–Royce stood parked.

A middle–aged man, along with about ten experts from Star Gate, were all standing in front of the Rolls–Royce, their gazes directed towards the distant beach.
“Julian, it seems our young master has taken a liking to the young Miss of the Carter family,” a young expert from Star Gate in his twenties remarked to the middle–aged man.
This middle–aged man was none other than Julian, the most skilled expert that Star Gate had dispatched to protect the Carter family.
Julian’s expression remained unchanged. Tony, quit your gossip. The young master is coming over.” Tony, the young expert, noticed Sylas walking towards them from the beach. He muttered under his breath, “What’s there to be afraid of? He can’t hear us.7
Another young expert from Star Gate chimed in lazily, Come on, Tony. It’s not news that our young master falls for every beauty he sees. Why are you so surprised?”
Indeed, Sylas’s flirtatious nature was legendary among them.
What frustrated them most was that whenever he tried to woo someone, they had to be there, tailing him, playing the third wheel. Who would enjoy such a task?
By this time, Sylas had already reached the Rolls–Royce. With a cold and determined look, he announced, “Get in the car. We’re heading to the Weston family’s mansion.”
The group of young experts all wore expressions of shock.
Heading to the Weston family’s mansion?
Wasn’t the plan to return to the Carters‘ mansion?
The middle–aged man, Julian, inquired of Sylas, “Young Master, why are we heading to the Weston family’s mansion?”
“I just made a promise to Claire,” Sylas replied with a fierce glint in his eyes and a determined expression, “Before dusk, within an hour, I’m going to rid the Carter family of all its threats.”
Julian furrowed his brows, “You plan on killing Lawrence from the Black Hawks at the Weston family’s mansion?”
“Exactly,” Sylas responded resolutely. “Not only do I plan to eliminate Lawrence, but I’m also going to kill Norman.”
Julian argued, “Before we left Star Gate, our leader made it clear that our only duty was to protect the Carter family. We shouldn’t provoke the Black Hawks.
“Our mission was to deter them. Confronting Lawrence at the Weston family’s mansion might escalate tensions between the Star Gate and the Black Hawks!”
“It doesn’t matter. Since I’ve promised Claire, I’ll see it through.
“Moreover, keeping Lawrence around is an ongoing threat to the Carter family. It’s better to deal with him now and eliminate the problem once and for all.”
Ignoring Julian’s warnings, Sylas stubbornly and assertively spoke.
Julian became increasingly concerned, “But Young Master…”
Before Julian could finish, Sylas interrupted him, “Enough, Juliant Whatever the consequences, I’ll bear them!”
With that, Sylas opened the door and slid into the car
With a heavy sigh, Julian told the other experts from Star Gate, “Get in.
Julian and the rest of the experts boarded the car. As the doors shut, the Rolls–Royce pulled away from

the coastal road and sped off into the distance.

On the distant beach, Claire watched as Sylas and his group got into the Rolls–Royce and drove away. She was left with an indescribable look of astonishment.
Who could tell her what had just happened?
Why would Sylas and his team drive away, leaving her stranded on the beach? What were they thinking? Were they out of their minds?
And what was that talk from Sylas about solving all the problems for the Carter family within an hour- and wanting her to agree to be his girlfriend?
The more she thought about it, the more she felt Sylas was simply mad.
It stoked a growing frustration within her.
After taking a few moments to calm her anger, her phone suddenly rang.
Picking it up,
she saw it was her grandfather calling. She answered, “Grandpa, what’s up?”
“Claire,” Denton’s voice came over the line, “It’s getting dark. Could you ask Mr. McLean and his group to come back?”
Exasperated, Claire replied, “They left me alone on the beach and drove off. I have no idea where they
went.”
“What? Mr. McLean and his group aren’t with you? What happened?” Denton exclaimed in surprise. Claire then recounted the entire sequence of events to her grandfather.
Denton on the other end of the phone seemed just as surprised by what Claire had told him, “Claire, I’ll send Gilmore to pick you up right away.” Denton said.
Claire replied, “Okay, I’ll wait for him on the beach.”
After ending the call, Claire sent her location to Gilmore through WhatsApp.
A moment later, a notification sounded, and she saw an ‘OK‘ emoji from Gilmore.
Back at the Carters‘ mansion, Denton still looked taken aback after hanging up the phone. “Dad, what happened?” Christopher, noticing his father’s unusual expression, asked.
Denton responded, “It seems that Sylas and his group are heading to the Weston family to confront Lawrence.”
A look of astonishment appeared on Christopher’s face “Heading to the Weston family to confront Lawrence? But now that Lawrence has all his backup, won’t that lead to a major confrontation?” If things went in that direction, the situation would quickly become more complicated.
If Sylas and Lawrence started fighting, the Carter family would inevitably get dragged into the growing conflict between the two factions.
And that’s not what the Carter family wanted.
Their hope had been that once the Black Hawks, Lawrence’s faction, realized the Carters had the support of Star Gate, they would back down, resolving the imminent threat to the Carter family.
“Stephen,” Denton said decisively to the butler standing nearby, “immediately notify our men stationed around the Weston family’s mansion. They must stop Sylas at all costs. We cannot let this situation escalate
Stephen nodded in acknowledgment and swiftly left the living room.
Then, Denton turned to Gilmore, who was seated on the couch, saying. Had I known Sylas would be to Impulsive, making such a rash decision, I wouldn’t have allowed Claire to accompany him.
Gilmore chuckled lightly, Given the young master’s pachant for attention and his overconfidence. if he didn’t seek trouble with Lawrence today, he’d surdo it tomorron

Rising from the couch, Gilmore stated, “Grandpa, I’ll go pick up Claire now.
Denton nodded in agreement.
Gilmore left the mansion and got into his Mercedes, heading for the beach.

Less than ten minutes later, a visibly distressed Stephen entered the mansion, reporting to Denton, “Sir. our men indeed spotted the Rolls–Royce driven by Sylas.
“They attempted to halt him at the entrance of the Weston estate, as per your instructions. However, when Sylas demanded they step aside, they refused.
Ledly, Sylas ordered the Star Gate experts to light. Our men were overpowered, sustaining
injuries, and couldn’t stop Sylas from entering the Weston family’s mansion.”
Hearing this, Denton’s brows furrowed deeply, a look of grave concern crossing his face.
“Why on earth would Star Gate send such a thoughtless fool like Sylas to aid the Carter family?
“His ‘help‘ is causing nothing but chaos!” Danton thought.
He then declared solemnly to Christopher and Stephen. “It now seems an inevitable clash between Star Gate and the Black Hawks is on the horizon.
“We must mobilize all our experts to protect Sylas.
“If anything happens to him, Star Gate might just hold us accountable.”
“Understood, Dad!” Christopher responded.
“Yes, Sir!” Stephen added.
Both Christopher and Stephen quickly left the living room to summon the household’s skilled personnel. While Denton and his men were scrambling to clean up the mess Sylas had made, Sylas’s Rolls–Royce had already smashed through the main gate of the Weston family’s mansion…

The Weston family’s mansion.
“Sir, we have a problem! The Star Gate members have smashed through our gates with their car, demanding to see you and Mr. Ray!”
Carl hurriedly entered the living room and informed Norman, who was sitting on the couch.

Norman, Lawrence, and the rest of the Black Hawks‘ experts present, wore expressions of surprise on their faces.
They hadn’t expected that, just a morning after receiving news of Star Gate experts arriving at the Carter family’s residence, they’d be confronting them at the Weston family’s Mansion.
This was truly unforeseen!
Weren’t the Star Gate experts here in Oakhaven to protect the Carter family?
To prevent Lawrence and the Black Hawks from troubling the Carter family?
Why did they now seem intent on clashing with Lawrence and the Westons?
“These Star Gate people are pushing their limits! They’re practically at our doorstep. Why are we hesitating? Let’s fight them off!”
An irate middle–aged member of the Black Hawks abruptly stood from his seat, yelling with anger. The faces of the other Black Hawks members were also clouded with fury.
Clearly, they were all greatly displeased by Star Gate’s proactive aggression.
However, Lawrence calmly addressed the outspoken Black Hawks member, saying, “Mark, please calm down. Sit back down.”
The outraged member begrudgingly suppressed his anger and sat back down on the couch, muttering, “Who would’ve thought we’d come to Oakhaven just to hide like cowards?”
Lawrence spoke up, “No, we didn’t come to Oakhaven to act like cowards!
“Rather than colliding head–on with the Star Gate members and suffering severe consequences, why don’t
we outsmart them?”
“Outsmart?” Not just Lawrence’s followers, but even Norman raised an eyebrow in curiosity. Lawrence nodded, “Norman, haven’t your sources already confirmed that the Star Gate’s chief representative here to protect the Carter family is the young heir of the Star Gate leader?
“This young man, though ambitious and eager for glory, lacks experience in the ways of our world.
“That’s why he recklessly decided to bring his men straight to the Weston Mansion without considering the consequences.
“To deal with such a greenhorn, we shouldn’t use brute force; we should use wit.”
Upon hearing Lawrence’s reasoning, Norman’s face lit up with understanding, agreeing that it was a sensible approach.
Those Black Hawks members who’d initially clamored for a fight also began to cool down.
With that, Lawrence pulled out a small black glass bottle from his robe and showed it to Norman. “Why bother with physical confrontations when I have this bottle of sedative powder here? It’ll make them surrender without a fight.”
After sharing this, Lawrence whispered something into Norman’s ear.
Norman’s eyes sparkled with intrigue. “Lawrence, that a brilliant plan!”
A smug smile graced Lawrence’s face. “Heh, dealing with these Star Gate folks is child’s play for me Norman then stood up, took the black bottle from Lawrence, and whispered a set of instructions into

Carl’s car.
Carl nodded, then took the small black bottle and left.
Norman addressed Lawrence and the other Black Hawks members, “Gentlemen, please wait here. I’ll be right back.”
With that, he exited the villa’s living room.
At that moment, the Weston family’s mansion was in uproar. Sylas and his group had forcefully driven into the mansion, causing quite a commotion.
Dozens of the mansion’s guards and skilled fighters surrounded the car Sylas and his group arrived in. Shouts erupted from the crowd, “Get out of the car!”
“Step out!”
“If you don’t come out, we’ll smash the car!”
The car doors swung open, and out stepped Sylas, Julian, and the other Star Gate members.
Sylas, radiating an air of arrogance and seemingly undeterred by the furious guards, said coldly, “Summon your master, Norman, to see me.”
“You dare to crash through our mansion gates, intrude uninvited, and now demand to see our master? We’ll teach you a lesson!” retorted the leader of the guards, clearly angry.
As he signaled to attack, the other guards prepared to advance.
However, a commanding voice rang out, “Stop! Show some respect!”
The guards were taken aback, halting in their tracks. They turned, showing reverence to the source of the voice, and chorused, “Mr. Weston!”
Indeed, the one who intervened was none other than Norman.
Norman approached, accompanied by Thomas, Tobias, and several servants.
He stopped in front of Sylas, bowing deeply, “I had no idea that Mr. McLean would honor us with a visit. Please forgive me for not greeting you at the gate. I hope you won’t hold it against us.”
Sylas, who had been maintaining a cold demeanor, was visibly taken aback by Norman’s respectful gesture.
He thought, “I barged into the Weston family’s mansion, practically crashing their gate, yet Norman isn’t? fuming but showing such respect? What’s going on?”
Finally finding his voice, Sylas asked, “Norman, do you know me?”
Norman replied, “Mr. McLean, the renowned heir to the Star Gate, is a name well known to me. I’ve always wanted to visit Star Gate and meet you. Seeing you today is a great honor.” And with that, he bowed deeply once more.
A flattered Sylas thought, “So my reputation precedes me, even the head of the prominent Weston family in Oakhaven knows of me?
“I never realized I was this famous!”
Flattered by Norman’s excessive courtesies, Sylas’s initial guarded posture melted away.
A humble smile graced his lips, retaining the elegance expected of the heir to the Star Gate. “Mr. Weston, he replied gracefully, “there’s no need to be so formal.
Subtly, without even realizing it, Sylas had transitioned from directly addressing Norman to the more respectful ‘Mr. Weston‘.
“Mr. McLean, please, let’s sit inside, Norman said, gesturing toward the mansion
Clearing his throat, Sylas, lifting his noble head, responded, “Mr. Weston, my visit isn’t for leisurely coffee and chat.
Tve heard Lawrence is at your residence, harboring intentions towards the Carter family, I’ve come

looking for him.”

Norman feigned surprise, “Mr. McLean, it’s true that Lawrence is here. But he already had a run–in with Denton a few days ago and suffered for it.
“Could he still be causing trouble without learning his lesson?”
Sylas seemed taken aback, “Mr. Weston, are you not aware?”
With a serious face, Norman responded, “I genuinely had no idea. But now that you’ve brought this to my attention, I cannot let Lawrence run wild.”
He then turned to Thomas and Tobias, commanding. Thomas, Tobias, bring our men and detain Lawrence immediately.”
Both acknowledged promptly, “Yes, Dad/Grandpa!”
Seeing Norman ordering the capture of Lawrence, Sylas was somewhat surprised.
Collecting his thoughts, he said, “Mr. Weston, let us handle Lawrence.”
However, Norman responded earnestly, “How could I possibly allow that? You’re an esteemed guest in the Weston family. How could I let you do such grunt work?
“Please, come inside and have some coffee. In just a short while, we’ll present Lawrence to you.”
Thomas and Tobias, accompanied by a squad of guards, set off to “detain” Lawrence.
Observing the situation, any lingering suspicions in Sylas’s mind faded. He nodded in agreement, “Very well, let’s sit inside the villa for a while.”

Norman warmly welcomed Sylas, Julian, and the dozen members of the Star Gate, ushering them to sit on the living room sofas.
Then, turning to Carl, his ever–present butler, he instructed, “Carl, have the maids serve coffee to Mr. McLean and all our esteemed guests.”
“As you wish, Mr. Weston,” Carl responded,
Following his acknowledgment, Carl gave a prolonged call, “Bring the coffee!”
Soon, four or five young, beautiful maids, dressed in black short skirts and white aprons, gracefully entered carrying trays of coffee.
Their entrance momentarily captivated the younger members of the Star Gate, their eyes riveted to the maids graceful figures.
Julian, with his usual cold demeanor, remained silent, seemingly indifferent to the attractive maids.
“Mr. McLean, please enjoy your coffee,” a particularly radiant maid said as she placed a cup of tea in front of Sylas.
Her sweet voice and enchanting smile put Sylas at case,
Coming back to his senses, Sylas replied with a smile, Thank you,
miss.
The other maids served tea to each member of the Star Gate, placing it either directly in their hands or on the tables before them.
The young Star Gate members, just like Sylas, were completely enchanted by the radiant young maids. As the maids left after serving the coffee, Sylas and the other Star Gate members found their gazes lingering, seemingly entranced by their graceful retreat
“Mr. McLean, and esteemed friends from Star Gate,” Norman began, holding up his cup with a warmth that radiated from his smile, “this is a premium coffee from my private collection. I rarely indulge in it myself, but with such distinguished guests gracing my home today, it’s only fitting to share the best.
Norman picked up the cup in his hand and smiled warmly,
“Please, taste and let me know your thoughts on its flavor.
With that, Norman took a sip, his eyes closing slightly as if he was savoring the rich aroma and flavor, seemingly lost in the exquisite taste of the coffee.
Sylas and the rest of the Star Gate members, realizing the significance of Norman’s words, understood that they were being treated with premium coffee.
The reception could be said to be profound and grand.
They were being treated like true honored guests.
Sylas and all the Star Gate masters felt truly pampered
Their impression of Norman improved dramatically, seeing him as a commendable elder. They each took a sip of the tea.
They picked up their coffee one after another.
As soon as the coffee touched their lips, they were captivated by its exquisite flavor.
They instantly recognized that this wasn’t just a top–tier coffee, but the crème de la crème of all coffees Probably the most amazing coffee they had ever tasted
Exquisite teal Sylas’s face lit up with delight, pouring out praise. The other younger Star Gate masters echoed their appreciation. Even the usually stoic Julian, after a few sips, had a gleam in his eye.

Without a doubt, he too recognized the superior quality of the coffee.

Norman slowly opened his eyes, noting that Sylas and the others had nearly finished their coffee.
A subtle, mischievous smile graced his lips.
Lawrence had once mentioned that just a sprinkle of the sedative powder into the coffee would knock anyone out within five minutes, even elite internal force martialist.
Now, having witnessed Sylas and his crew consume the tainted coffee, Norman just had to wait for them to succumb.
The minutes ticked by….
In less than five minutes, Sylas and the others started to feel uneasy. Dizziness overwhelmed them. making them feel as though they had consumed too much alcohol. Their strength waned, and their consciousness blurred.
Cups slipped from their grasp, shattering upon impact.
Soon, Sylas and the Star Gate masters collapsed onto the sofas, one by one.
Only Julian, due to his superior martial arts, remained conscious a bit longer than the others.
But the world already seemed to spin around Julian, and even when he tried to focus, everything appeared hazy and doubled.
Pointing a trembling finger at Norman, Julian rasped, “You… you poisoned the coffee?” Norman replied with a cold smirk, “My friend from Star Gate, you must be mistaken.
“Why would I poison the coffee, a luxury even I rarely indulge in?
“Perhaps you’re simply weary from your long journey to Oakhaven.
“Since you’re feeling tired, why not rest up here in my house?”
“L… will… kill… Julian attempted to rise shakily from the sofa, but before he could finish his threat, he collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
A sinister smile spread across Norman’s face. “It seems the sedative powder Lawrence provided really does pack a punch,” he mused.
He then turned to Carl and ordered, “Lock these people in the mansion’s dungeons.
Carl, with concern etched on his face, questioned, “Sir, if we lock these Star Gate members with Benjamin, won’t the secret of the Treasure Map be at risk?”
Norman’s eyes glittered dangerously. “So what if they knew the secret?
“Do you think they’ll ever see the light of day again?”
Carl caught on, “You mean… keep them and Benjamin locked away forever?”
With an intense gaze, Norman confirmed, “Exactly. If Star Gate ever finds out about today, the Weston family could face annihilation.
“For our family’s sake, they can’t be freed until death.”
“But sir,” Carl interjected, “these Star Gate members are internal force martialist. Keeping them in the dungeon might pose a risk of escape. Should we take special precautions?”
“Carl, if they try to escape, Norman said chillingly, “break their limbs. They won’t get far.”
“Yes, sir. I’ll see to it immediately,” Carl responded obediently.
At that moment, Thomas and Tobias, who were supposedly capturing Lawrence, entered the room with their guards.
Indeed, Thomas and his team never intended to capture Lawrence. It was all a ruse for the benefit of Sylas and his crew.
The entire charade was designed to deceive Sylas and his companions, lulling them into complacency,

Looking at the sofa where Sylas and all the members of Star Gate had collapsed from the effects of the sedative powder, both Thomas and Tobias associate looked visibly pleased.
“Dad, have we secured our victory?” Thomas approached Norman with a grin.
Norman nodded.
He then spoke to Thomas with an earnest tone, “Although we’ve successfully subdued Sylas and his Star Gate associates, we must remain cautious. The Carter family has eyes watching our manor from the outside. We must continue as planned.”
Thomas acknowledged, “Understood, Father. I’ll arrange for our top experts to drive the Rolls–Royce out of the manor immediately. This will make those watching believe that Sylas and his group have left.” With that, Thomas turned and exited the villa.
Meanwhile, Carl directed a team of elite guards to carry the unconscious members of Star Gate away. A few minutes later, a slightly damaged Rolls–Royce departed from the Weston family’s manor…

Christopher and Stephen walked into the villa to find Denton, who was seated on the sofa, deep in thought, looking quite serious. “Father/Grandfather, Christopher began, “All the elite guards and Phantom Guards in the mansion are now assembled.”
Pulling himself from his contemplation, Denton looked up at the two and said with gravitas, “Good. We’re heading to the Weston family now.
“Tonight’s events are a matter of life and death for the Carter family. If anything happens to Sylas and his team, we too will face grave consequences.
Having said this, Denton rose from his seat, leaning on his cane.
Although his limp had healed and his leg was as good as any other, he still used the cane.
Partly because he had grown accustomed to it over the years, and partly because the cane sometimes served as his weapon..
As Denton was about to leave, Stephen’s phone rang suddenly.
“Ring…”
Stephen quickly checked the caller ID and informed Denton, “Mr. Carter, it’s a call from our men positioned around the Weston family’s mansion.”
Denton halted and instructed, “Answer it. Let’s see if they have any crucial information.”
“Yes, Mr. Carter!”
Stephen answered the call, exchanged a few words, then briefly paused his conversation with the caller to update Denton. “Mr. Carter, our informant reports that the Rolls–Royce carrying Sylas and his team has just left the Weston family’s mansion.”
Denton, curious, inquired, “Did they mention where Sylas might be headed after leaving the Weston family’s mansion?”
“They’ve dispatched a team to tail Sylas’s vehicle,” Stephen responded.
Denton nodded in approval. “Good. Have them keep a close watch on Sylas’s car and immediately report any new developments.”
“Yes, Mr. Carterl
After relaying Denton’s instructions to the caller, Stephen hung up.
He then turned to Denton and inquired, “Mr. Carter, should we still proceed to the Weston family’s mansion?”
Denton pondered for a moment before replying, “Since Sylas and his group have already left the Weston family, there’s no need to go there now.
“Our top priority should be ensuring that Sylas and his team return to our mansion safely and without further incident.”
“I’ll instruct all the elite guards and Phantom Guards gathered outside to return and fortify the mansion’s defenses,” Stephen suggested.
Denton nodded, “Very well, proceed.”
Stephen promptly exited the villa.
Denton, settling back onto the sofa, exhaled a sigh of relief.
The fact that Sylas’s vehicle had left the Weston family mansion indicated that the situation hadn’t escalated.
Otherwise, the consequences could have been unthink ble.

Noticing his father’s visibly relieved demeanor, Christopher prepared a cup of coffee for him. “Dad,” he began. “It’s a good thing that nothing major transpired. Otherwise, our Carter family might have been plunged into a bloody catastrophe tonight.”
Denton nodded in agreement.
Should the Star Gate members and the Black Hawks come to blows, both the Carter and Weston families would inevitably be drawn into the fray.
Such a clash would be disastrous for the Westons and the Carters.
In this way, both the Carter family and the Weston family would suffer heavy losses.
A scenario Denton wanted to avoid at all costs..
This was precisely why he had initially sought the assistance of the Star Gate.
But now, Denton realized that Sylas’s presence posed a constant threat, potentially drag the Carter family into irreversible calamity at any given moment
“When Sylas returns, we must make it clear to him,” Denton said, a hint of annoyance in his voice, “that stirring up trouble at the Weston family not only harms the Star Gate but jeopardizes our family too.” Christopher nodded in agreement, “I too believe that if we continue to let Sylas act recklessly, not only will he be of no help to us, but he’ll also put our Carter family in even greater danger.”
He then proposed to his father, “Of all these people, I believe Julian is the most trustworthy. Perhaps we should rely on him to protect the Carter family.”
“Well, tomorrow I’ll offer several million dollars and see if we can send this troublesome lad, Sylas, back
Star Gate,” Denton mused, clearly finding Sylas to be a handful.
As the Carters were discussing ways to send the ever–troublesome Sylas back to Star Gate, over at the Weston family’s mansion, Norman and Lawrence, along with members of the Black Hawks, were also plotting their next move.
“Lawrence, your method was incredibly effective, Norman remarked with a smirk, lounging on the sofa, “After Sylas and his crew drank the coffee laced with the sedative powder, they all passed out.”
Lawrence chuckled smugly, “The sedative powder is a unique secret potion of our Black Hawks. It’s more than enough to handle those from Star Gate.
“Norman, did you ensure Sylas and his team were properly dealt with?”
Norman replied with a laugh, “Fear not, Lawrence. No one will ever find out they were drugged at my place, nor where they’ve been taken.
“Outsiders saw only their car leaving the Weston estate. As to where they went, nobody will ever know.” Indeed, the reason Norman had Thomas arrange for someone to drive away the Rolls–Royce Sylas had arrived in was to give the appearance that they had already left, thereby deceiving onlookers.
Once the Weston’s men drove the Rolls–Royce to a remote area and abandoned it, no one would have any inkling where Sylas and his crew had gone or how to find them.
“Now that Denton no longer has the support of Star Gate, we can seize this opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the Carter family tonight, capturing them all!” Lawrence’s eyes gleamed with determination.
The other elites of the Black Hawks looked on eagerly, their faces brimming with anticipation “Lawrence, Norman voiced, “Shall we proceed with our original plan and raid the Carter family tonight? Lawrence nodded gravely, “Indeed, we’ll strike the Carter family.”

In the living room, Harlan was engrossed in the evening news while Everly was engrossed in her phone. And Gerald was analyzing stocks on his mobile.
Gilmore’s mother was busy preparing dinner in the kitchen.
Hearing footsteps, Everly looked up, her face lit up with joy. “Claire, you’re here!” she exclaimed.
Claire smiled and nodded at her.
Everly turned and called out to the kitchen, “Mom, Claire’s here! Make some extra food!”
“I know, sweetie. Make sure you take good care of Claire,” Sophia’s cheerful voice replied from the kitchen.
Claire couldn’t help but smile.
Ever since the day Gilmore had proudly introduced her as his girlfriend to his family, they had treated her like one of their own.
The warmth she felt from them was comforting and had helped dissipate the anger she felt after being abandoned on the beach by Sylas.
On their way back, she had vented her frustration by ranting about Sylas to Gilmore, and by now, her anger had mostly subsided.
Feeling the warmth of Gilmore’s family now, all traces of her anger were gone.
That evening, Claire had dinner with Gilmore’s family, and the atmosphere was cheerful and harmonious.
Claire decided to stay over that night, sharing a room with Everly.
Late into the night, when the entire family was asleep, Gilmore got up.
He donned a black outfit suitable for moving stealthily in the dark. Covering his face and mouth with a mask, he transformed into a mysterious figure in black
Then, he pushed open two windows.
With a swift motion, he leaped out like a bat, his silhouette blending into the darkness and disappearing into the night….

The Carters‘ mansion was still brightly lit in the depth of the night.

In the living room, Denton hadn’t gone to bed yet, his brow furrowed in deep thought, an expression of gravity on his face.
Likewise, Christopher and his wife sat on the couch, their faces showing evident unease.
Footsteps echoed as Stephen walked in.
Christopher, filled with urgency, asked him, “Have we still not located Sylas’s vehicle?”
Stephen’s face fell, and he slowly nodded.
Seeing Stephen’s gesture, the weight on Denton’s face grew even heavier.
Four or five hours had elapsed since the onset of night when Sylas’s car left the Weston mily’s mansion. The Carter family’s people had tried to tail Sylas’s car, only to lose sight of it eventually. These hours had been incredibly agonizing for Denton.
He was clueless about why Sylas’s vehicle would shake off the Carter family’s trackers and vanish without
a trace.
He also pondered on where Sylas might have gone without returning to the Carters‘ mansion.
“Mr. Carter,” Stephen began, his brow deeply creased, “where do you think Sylas and his group might have driven off to?”
Denton responded, “I’m afraid the answer to that is only known to Sylas and his company.
“Also, considering they disappeared after heading to the Weston family’s mansion, this must be connected to the Weston family in some way.”
A sudden thought struck Christopher, “Dad, do you think Sylas might still be in the Weston family’s
mansion?
“What if the car that left the Weston’s property didn’t have Sylas in it at all and was merely a decoy to deceive us?”
A change flashed across Denton’s face.
Christopher’s words indeed shed a new light on the situation.
It was an undeniable possibility.
“However, Sylas and his team are all experts from Star Gate. That Julian, in particular, is a top–notch

“You’re right, Stephen,” Denton remarked with piercing eyes. “In a direct confrontation, it is highly uncertain if the Black Hawks could overpower Sylas and his crew. But Sylas is extremely arrogant and tends to underestimate others, which makes him prone to mistakes and falling into traps.
Stephen’s eyes widened in realization. “You mean to say that Sylas and his team have fallen into a trap set by the Weston family and the Black Hawks?”
Denton nodded solemnly. “Looking at the situation now, it’s quite possible.
“If Sylas and his team are indeed in the clutches of the Weston family, then the Weston family and the Black Hawks will surely plan a night raid on our mansion tonight.”
“Dad, without the support of Star Gate, can we really withstand their assault?” Christopher asked, concern evident on his face.
Denton’s eyes flashed defiantly. “Life and death are in the hands of fate. Whether the Carter family can weather this storm tonight is in the hands of the heavens.”

His words laid bare the gravity of their situation.

Christopher glanced at his wife, Miranda, and managed a rueful smile. “Fortunately, Gilmore has taken Claire to his home. She might be spared from this calamity.”
Miranda nodded, tears shimmering in her eyes. “As long as she’s safe with Gilmore, and he’s there to protect her, nothing else matters. Even if something were to happen to me.”
“Christopher,” Denton started, ‘let Miranda and all the maids in the mansion hide in the underground bunker.”
Christopher nodded. “Yes.”
With a nod of agreement, Christopher led Miranda out of the villa.
Denton then turned to Stephen, “Get all our best fighters alert and ready. We must be on high guard.” “Yes, Mr. Carter, Stephen replied, about to leave.
However, at that moment, a cold gust blew in from the main entrance, its bone–chilling temperature causing Stephen’s hair to stand on end.
A sense of impending danger washed over him.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a shadow, ghostly and swift, lunged for an attack.
Stephen’s eyes flashed, and without any hesitation, he threw out a palm strike.
Bang!
He then felt an astonishing surge of internal mana from the opponent’s palm.
The sheer force of it pushed him back several feet before he managed to steady himself.
A trickle of blood escaped the corner of Stephen’s mouth, and his face turned pale.
In just one exchange with this mysterious enemy, he was injured.
“Lawrence!” Denton exclaimed, rising swiftly from the couch, his gaze sharp and fixated on the figure standing at the door. It was none other than Lawrence, dressed in his signature robe, emanating cold authority.
Indeed, the one who had landed a hit on Stephen and wounded him was Lawrence.
Denton hadn’t expected Lawrence and his crew to show up so soon!
Lawrence let out a sinister laugh, “Hal Denton, I bet you didn’t expect me to come knocking, did you? “Tonight, there’s no one coming to save you. Your time has come.”
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh.
Behind Lawrence, over a dozen figures emerged.
All were elite fighters from the Black Hawks, with Norman among them.
Denton, with a fiery glint of hatred in his eyes, addressed Norman, “Norman, I never thought you’d conspire with the Black Hawks to bring about the downfall of the Carter family!”
Norman smirked coldly, “Heh, Denton, your son–in–law, David, is my business rival, and your chip company is the most profitable tech enterprise–a prize I’ve coveted for long.
“Your death will only bring benefits to me and the Weston family.
“And you made the grave mistake of killing Emerson.
“If we let the Carter family grow unchecked and kill members of other elite families at will, how can the rest of us even survive?
“So today, by joining forces with the Black Hawks to take you down, I not only seek justice for Emerson but also to rid all the major families of the blight that you represent.”

Norman proclaimed, painting Denton as an unspeakable villain, while casting himself as the very embodiment of righteousness and justice.
A mocking smile danced on Denton’s lips. He had always known of Norman’s silent enmity, seeing both the Carter and Foster families as looming threats.
He wasn’t surprised in the slightest that Norman would team up with Lawrence to target the Carter family.
Denton knew how treacherous Norman could be. If he were to die with Norman still around, it would spell a disaster for both the Carter family’s business and the Foster family.
The glint of murderous intent appeared in Denton’s eyes. He resolved that even if it cost 1m his life that night, he would eliminate Norman, cutting off a lingering threat to the Carter family’s business and the Foster family.
With that thought, Denton wasted no time. Holding his walking cane, he leaped forward, wielding it like a razor–sharp sword, thrusting it straight at Norman at the entrance.
Noticing Denton’s determination to end his life, Norman’s face paled. He promptly shouted to Lawrence and the other Black Hawks, “This Denton is trying to kill me again!”
Lawrence, along with Jack and Kevin, had a fierce gleam in their eyes. They bellowed, “Old man, halt your aggression!”
Then, the trio lunged into the fray, a whirlwind of fury and aggression.
They each aimed a powerful palm strike, like bolts of lightning, straight at Denton.
Stephen, who had just been repelled by Lawrence, saw Denton standing alone against the onslaught of
the three men from the Black Hawks. Fearing for Denton’s safety, Stephen sprang into action, channeling all his internal mana to lend his support in the fight.

The echoing sound of devastating palm strikes resonated, accompanied by the sharp snap of a walking cane breaking.
Following that, Lawrence and his two companions took a step back, while Denton staggered back five or six steps.
Stephen’s situation was even worse. He flew backward like a broken kite, crashing into a side table in the living room, smashing it to pieces.
A painful expression crossed his face, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, falling unconscion heavy blow.

Although Denton wasn’t as severely injured as Stephen a trace of blood dripped from the corner of his mouth, his face pale as paper.
Seeing the blood on Denton’s face, Lawrence and his associates wore smug expressions:
“Denton, just a few days ago at the Weston family’s grand party, didn’t you defeat and heavily injure me? Why do you seem so weak today?” Lawrence mocked, looking at Denton with disdain.
A glint of hatred flashed in Denton’s eyes.
Witnessing Stephen’s injury, every fiber of his being yearned to immediately avenge him by killing Lawrence.
However, Denton also knew that his chances were slim. Even if he was a mid–level internal force martialist, he couldn’t possibly defeat Lawrence, an elite internal force martialist.
And even if Lawrence didn’t make a move, the martialists of the Black Hawk were more than enough to defeat and capture him.
“Lawrence, even if I die, by imprisoning the heir to the Star Gate’s leadership, the Star Gate will never let you off,” Denton shouted defiantly.
Lawrence burst into laughter upon hearing Denton’s words. “Haha! Denton, who told you we’ve captured the heir to the Star Gate? Did you see it with your own eyes?
“Everyone from Star Gate only knows that their leader and his party came to the Carter family. They indeed visited the Weston family today but left afterward.
“So, your claim that we’ve imprisoned them? No one would believe it unless you have evidence!” Norman chimed in, dripping with sarcasm. “Denton, Sylas and his entourage clearly arrived at the Carter family, and now they’ve vanished. What exactly did you do to them? Did you kill them and now you’re trying to frame the Weston family and the Black Hawk Your deceit knows no bounds!”
Just then, with the martialists of the Black Hawk surrounding him, Norman began to ridicule and belittle Denton, adding insult to injury.
Denton’s eyes glinted with fury. Norman was simply the incarnation of the devil.
He believed that the misfortune that befell the Carter family had everything to do with Norman’s manipulations.
However, Denton realized that Norman cunningly positioned himself behind the Black Hawk martialists to ensure Denton couldn’t get to him.
“Norman, other than plotting behind one’s back and framing others, what else are you good at If you have the guts, face me in a one–on–one duel to the death!” Denton said, his face filled with mocking disdain as he stared at Norman.
Norman sneered in response, “What’s the matter? Angered that I’ve seen through your schemes and now you wish to kill me in frustration?

“Denton, I won’t fall for your tricks. You, who killed both Emerson and Lawrence’s two junior apprentices, should disable your martial arts and surrender.”

Otherwise, when Lawrence and the other Black Hawk martialists join forces, you’ll have nowhere to bury your body!”
Denton laughed, “As expected, a cowardly and cunning little man.”
He continued, casting a sweeping glance over Lawrence and the Black Hawk martialists, “The Black Hawk, supposedly a renowned sect from the Sunsbury, now resort to bullying the few with their numbers. You’ve truly disgraced the reputation of the Sunsbury sects!”
Hearing this, Lawrence, Kevin, Jack, and the others wore expressions of anger and rage.
At that moment, the sounds of fierce combat echoed from outside, with clear clashes of fists and palms colliding.
“Denton, can you hear that? My Weston family’s best martialists have stormed into the Carter family’s mansion, turning your home into a hell on earth, with rivers of blood! Norman exclaimed triumphantly upon hearing the battle cries from outside.
After tonight, Denton and all the martialists of the Carter family would be annihilated.
All the Carters‘ assets would fall into the hands of Norman and Lawrence.
Moreover, the Carter family’s chip company would become a part of the Weston’s enterprise,
Pain flashed in Denton’s eyes.
Faced with the reality that his family’s martialists were being slaughtered by the Weston family’s martialists, he felt helpless, unable to do anything.
This agony, the feeling of powerlessness, was even worse than death for him.
Seeing the torment on Denton’s face, Norman, Lawrence, and the others reveled in his despair, their moods lifted to the point of euphoria.
They weren’t in a rush to deal with Denton directly. They wanted him to hear the cries and screams of his own people, letting him experience a slow, torturous anguish.
The more Denton suffered, the more they rejoiced.
Their enemy’s boundless pain was their greatest pleasure.
About ten minutes later, the sounds of battle and screams from outside had ceased entirely.
Denton knew the intense fight outside had concluded.
There was no need to guess the Carter family’s martialists had undoubtedly been decimated.
Denton closed his eyes in anguish. The Carter family, built through decades of hard work and dedication, was now gone, decimated by the cunning likes of Norman and Lawrence.
A deep sense of injustice welled up inside him.
“Denton.” Norman’s voice oozed with malice, “Can’t you hear? All your Carter family members outside are silent now. They’ve left this world. Now it’s your turn to join them.”
Denton’s eyes shot open, meeting the cold, murderous stares of Norman, Lawrence, and their crew, like a pack of bloodthirsty wolves ready to pounce.
A fierce determination ignited in his eyes, and he clenched his fists.
“If I’m going down,” he thought, I’ll take some of them with me. At the very least, one for one, and two –would be a bonus.”
But just as Denton braced himself to confront Norman and Lawrence in a desperate last stand, the sound of footsteps echoed.
And it wasn’t just one person it sounded like dozens

At the sound of the voice, Norman, Lawrence, and their gang immediately turned their heads. In the dim light outside the mansion, they spotted a figure dressed in all black, with a mask concealing everything but the eyes.
While they couldn’t see the person’s face, they could feel a terrifyingly powerful aura emanating from the masked figure.
Indeed, it was Gilmore.
He had deliberately disguised his voice to protect his identity.
What really stunned Norman and Lawrence wasn’t just Gilmore’s sudden appearance but also the sight of dozens of Carter family’s Phantom Guards and martialists standing firmly behind him, uding an intimidating aura.
Norman and Lawrence were taken aback!
They thought, “Hadn’t the cries and screams earlier signified the decimation of the Carter family’s martialists by the Weston martialists?
“How were there still so many of them appearing unharmed now?”
Norman, Lawrence, and the rest quickly realized a grave mistake. It wasn’t the Carter martialists who had been decifnated earlier, but the Weston’s!
And all these unexpected turn of events seemed tightly linked to this mysterious man in black!

Chapter 188
Lawrence’s eyes flashed with intensity. “Who are you?” he demanded.

Gilmore replied coldly, “I am the masked man who killed your two junior apprentices and Emerson.”
The moment Lawrence laid eyes on Gilmore, decked out in his black attire and mask, he had a sneaking suspicion that he could be the murderer of his junior apprentices.
However, he wasn’t entirely sure.
Now that Gilmore had admitted it himself, Lawrence was certain that he stood before the killer.
This meant that Denton wasn’t the one responsible for their deaths after all.
Inside the mansion, Denton was equally taken aback.
He initially thought he was comered, facing an inescapable fate.
However, he hadn’t expected the sudden appearance of the masked man outside, the very same individual who had taken out Emerson and Lawrence’s two junior apprentices.
It was utterly surprising that this man would show up at the Carter family’s mansion.
What shocked him even more was seeing dozens of the Carter family’s martialists and Phantom Guards still alive.
Could it be that the Weston family’s martialists were defeated by his own guards?
Denton started to piece things together. The fact that his martialists and guards had managed to overpower the Weston’s fighters must be related to this mysterious masked man’s intervention. Denton also realized that even if this masked figure wasn’t explicitly there to aid the Carter family, he surely held a grudge against Lawrence or the Westons.
Otherwise, there would be no reason for him to have killed Lawrence’s junior apprentices.
Hope began to glimmer in Denton’s eyes.
If this masked individual could deal with the Black Hawk, then the Carter family might stand a chance. As for Norman, Denton vowed to handle him personally.
A blaze of fury ignited in Lawrence’s eyes as he stared down Gilmore. “Why did you kill my two junior apprentices?” he growled.
“Twenty years ago, they brutally murdered an entire family of seven from a prominent household. I’m merely seeking justice for those departed souls,” Gilmore declared with a glint in his eyes, each word resonating with conviction.
Lawrence and the rest of the Black Hawk‘ expressions shifted.
They were all too aware of the heinous act Cooper and Dean committed two decades ago.
So, it was apparent to them that Gilmore had ties to the household that was slaughtered back then, and he was seeking revenge by killing Cooper and Dean.
Aware of their wrongdoing in this situation, Lawrence spoke, trying to find a middle ground, “Alright, since you’re avenging the deaths of that family, we won’t hold a grudge for the deaths of my two junior apprentices. Let’s call it even.
“You can leave now. But I’d advise you to stay out of our business with the Carter family.”
“Sorry, but I can’t stand by when the few are bullied by the many. I despise those who mercilessly kill the innocent. So, not only will I not leave, but I’m also taking charge of the situation at the Carter family tonight.
Gilmore responded calmly,
Lawrence and his associates were immediately livid:

With a scoff, Lawrence taunted, “Oh? Aren’t you afraid that your meddling will cost you your life?” Gilmore retorted, “People have always died by my hand. No one’s managed to kill me yet.”
Without hesitation, Lawrence signaled to his close junior apprentices, Kevin and Jack. “Show him what you’ve got!” he ordered.
Both men, already boiling with anger, responded to Lawrence’s command.
With a powerful roar, they lunged at Gilmore, swift as lightning. One attacked with a fist, the other with a palm. Their internal mana burst forth, vibrating the air around them like a thunderous strike.
The sheer force of internal force martialist’s martial prowess was palpable, making it difficult for even the Carter family’s martialists and Phantom Guards standing meters away to breathe.
Those proficient in external force martialist felt a jolt of awe in their hearts.
Whoosh!
Kevin’s palm, sharp as a blade, slashed directly towards Gilmore’s chest..
While Jack aimed a punch directly at Gilmore’s face, the fierce momentum of the palm strike combined with the intensity of the punch sent shivers down the spines of all who witnessed it
Every martialist and guard of the Carter family felt a pang of anxiety for Gilmore.
If both Kevin and Jack’s attacks were to land, Gilmore’s chest might very well be torn open by Kevin’s fierce palm, spilling blood in a gruesome wound.
Meanwhile, Jack’s punch might crush his skull.
However, facing the terrifying onslaught from both attackers, Gilmore’s gaze remained steady.
undeterred.
In the next heartbeat, Gilmore’s figure sprang into action.
Whoosh!
Boom!
He shot forward, unleashing two explosive punches.
The sheer force of his fists seemed to rupture the very air, producing a sound akin to thunderous explosions.
This astonishing sonic boom, along with the terrifying power behind Gilmore’s fists, sent shockwaves across the area.
The faces of Jack and Kevin paled instantly.
The Carter family’s elite martialists and the Phantom Guards were visibly shaken, their faces a mix of awe and disbelief. As Gilmore’s fists shot out, they caused a sonic boom in the air–an indication of his sheer speed and power that was simply beyond belief
Witnessing the same, Lawrence also felt the nightmarish and fearsome force behind those punches. His brows furrowed in concern, and internally he exclaimed, “Things didn’t go right!”
But it was already too late!
Bang!
A series of bone–snapping sounds resonated through the air.
“Ah!” Twin cries of agony pierced the night.
Then, like kites with their strings cut, the two figures flew backwards, eventually crashing heavily onto the brick pathway in front of the mansion’s main entrance
The impact left a web–like pattern of cracks on the bricks
The bones of Kevin and Jack’s arms that were attacking Gilmore were broken into countless pieces. They were completely disabled!!

The only sounds that broke the silence were the heavy, tense breaths of Lawrence, Norman, and the elite. martialists of the Black Hawk.
Lawrence, Norman, and the others were truly on edge.
The strength Gilmore displayed was terrifying–almost hellishly so.
While Kevin and Jack might not be on par with Lawrence’s elite internal force martialists, they were, without a doubt, middle–tier internal force martialists.
Their combined force was strong enough to contend with Lawrence,
Yet, now they were defeated and knocked unconscious by Gilmore in just one round!
This masked man in black was too terrifying!
“This masked figure is truly formidable,” Lawrence thought.
Lawrence’s eyes gleamed with determination. Turning to Norman and his Black Hawk junior apprentices, he said through gritted teeth, “This man is exceedingly fierce, ruthless, and overwhelmingly powerful! “If we want to defeat him, we must strike together as one!
“Attack!”
Without waiting for a response, Lawrence was the first to launch himself at Gilmore with the speed and ferocity of a tempest.
The other elite martialists from the Black Hawk followed suit, rapidly closing in on Gilmore.
Even the usually self–serving Norman didn’t hesitate this time, launching his own assault against Gilmore.
He understood that if they didn’t join forces to take down this masked figure, both he and Lawrence could very well lose their lives here.
In an instant, Lawrence, Norman, and over a dozen Black Hawk martialists unleashed a barrage of punches and palm strikes, their combined mana creating a gust of wind that billowed Gilmore’s black attire.

One after the other, the martialists of the Black Hawk were sent flying, landing heavily on the brick ground meters away.
Each landing created a crater, and after crashing through the bricks, each of the Black Hawk‘ members sunk nearly two to three inches into the ground.
Almost every bone in their bodies was broken, with blood pouring out of their mouths, and staining their clothes.
It was as if they had gone through a hellish onslaught.
Barely clinging to life, one by one, they took their last breaths.
Among the sea of defeated martialists, only Lawrence still held onto a sliver of life.
He looked at Gilmore, eyes wide in disbelief, and with great difficulty muttered, “The Black… Hawks…. won’t… let you off…”
After uttering those words, it seemed Lawrence had exhausted his last bit of strength. His head tilted, and he passed away.
All of the Carter family’s elite martialists and the Phantom Guards were left speechless in sheer astonishment.
Another punch with a sonic boom!
Lawrence and his dozen or so Black Hawk‘ martialists were utterly defeated in a stormy and thunderous assault.
It was the first time they had ever witnessed such a breathtaking attack in their lives.
A few steps away from Gilmore stood Norman, the only one still alive. He trembled uncontrollably, as if sifting through chaff, with a ghostly pallor overtaking his face, akin to being struck by frost. Cold sweat dripped down his cheeks, and fear consumed him entirely.
He felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar, chilled to the bone.
He never imagined that in just a fleeting moment, Gilmore would send Lawrence and the dozen martialists of the Black Hawk flying, ending their lives
Now, he stood alone to face the wrath of Gilmore.
The mere distance separating them made Gilmore appear like the grim reaper in Norman’s eyes, capable of ending his life at any given moment.
Norman’s lips quivered as he pleaded, “Master… Sir… I beg you… please don’t kill me… I’ll kneel before

The sight left Denton utterly shocked.
He looked down at Norman, who lay on the floor, blood oozing from the corner of houth, his face contorted in pain, seemingly unable to get up. Denton then lifted his gaze to meet Gilmore’s eyes outside the mansion.
Gilmore, with unwavering focus, said, “I’ve crippled Norman’s martial arts. I leave his fate in your hands.” Denton immediately gave a respectful bow to Gilmore, “Thank you for your intervention, sparing the Carter family from annihilation. Your tremendous kindness will be remembered forever. May I know the name of our savior?”
Gilmore replied, “My feud with the Black Hawk was personal. I didn’t act on the Carter family’s behalf, so no thanks are necessary.”
H
With that, he turned and soared into the night sky, disappearing like a shadowy hawk.
Denton hurriedly stepped out of the mansion, but there was no trace of Gilmore to be found.
Even the Carter family’s elite martialists and Phantom Guards were astounded. This mysterious man in black was undoubtedly a master of martial arts, appearing and disappearing without a trace. Footsteps approached, signaling the return of Christopher from the secret underground chamber of the mansion.
He looked surprised and called out to Denton from a distance, “Dad, there are many injured and unconscious people over there. Did the Weston family and the Black Hawk‘ martialists break in?” Before he could finish, Christopher’s eyes landed on the lifeless bodies of Lawrence and the Black Hawk lying outside the mansion. He was so taken aback that he was at a loss for words.
Finally regaining his composure, he looked at his father, Denton, with excitement, ‘Dad, did you defeat all of them?”
Denton shook his head, “No, it wasn’t me. They were killed by a mysterious man in black.”
“A man in black? Christopher questioned, his face etched with confusion.
He didn’t know what was going on outside because he took his wife and the maids to the underground chamber to hide.
Denton promptly recounted the events, detailing how the masked man had taken down Lawrence and the Black Hawk‘ martialists.
After listening, Christopher exclaimed, “So, this man in black is the same one who killed Emerson, Cooper, Dean, and others?
“And he did all this because of the massacre that happened twenty years ago?”
Denton nodded in agreement, “Yes, it seems so.
“Even though this savior had a grudge against the Black Hawk, he saved the Carter family today. We must never forget this act of kindness, Denton remarked
Christopher nodded, “You’re right, Dad.

The leader of the Phantom Guards stepped forward and explained, “Mr. Carter, after the Weston family’s martialists invaded the Carter estate, we engaged them immediately.
“Our strengths were evenly matched and neither side could gain the upper hand. But when it seemed the outcome was still up in the air, that man appeared. With lightning speed, he single–handedly defeated dozens from the Weston family.
“Because of him, none of our Phantom Guards were harmed, and we emerged victorious!”
Denton nodded thoughtfully.
As he suspected, the reason none of the Phantom Guards and martialists were harmed was due to the assistance of this mysterious man in black.
Denton’s gaze settled on the lifeless bodies of Lawrence and the Black Hawk‘ martialists. He instructed the leader of the Phantom Guards, “Lucas, take a few men and dispose of these enemy bodies discreetly. “Have them cremated at the funeral parlor owned by the Carter family. No one else must know.” Lucas promptly responded, “Understood, Mr. Carter.”
He then swiftly directed some of the Carter family’s martialists to move the bodies to the funeral parlor and clean up the blood stains.
Meanwhile, Denton and Christopher went back inside the mansion, ensuring the injured Stephen was taken for medical treatment.
They then turned their attention to Norman, who was gravely injured and immobile on the ground. Fear evident on his face, Norman pleaded, “Mr. Carter, considering the years we’ve known each other, I beg for mercy. I promise from now on, the Weston family will bow to your will and never dare to offend the Carter family again.”

SMACK! Instead of words, Denton responded with a sharp slap to Norman’s face, causing an immediate swelling on one side of his cheek.
“Norman, do you think it’s wise to lie at a time like this? Denton’s eyes blazed with anger.
Despite the stinging pain in his cheek, Norman dared not reveal that Sylas and his crew were locked up in Weston’s dungeon.
Because the consequences would be worse than not saying it out loud.
Not only had they been imprisoned, but their limbs were also broken.
If Denton were to rescue them, wouldn’t the Star Gate retaliate against the Weston family?
So, Norman resolved that he would take this secret to his grave.
Besides, he believed that if the Carter family couldn’t find Sylas and the others, the Star Gate would undoubtedly blame them.
In that case, the Carters wouldn’t escape their wrath either.
A hint of a smile crept onto Norman’s face, “Mr. Carten I’ve already told you the truth. Why won’t you believe me?”
Denton’s gaze was icy, “So you’re refusing to tell me where Sylas and his men are?”
Norman feigned innocence, “Mr. Carter, haven’t I already told you? They left the Weston family. How would I know where they went?”
“Guards!” Denton’s patience had worn thin, and he bellowed.
Several members of the Phantom Guards, dressed in black, walked in imposingly. “Mr. Carter, how may we serve?” they inquired.
“Take Norman away and interrogate him thoroughly. We must find out where Sylas and his group are.” Denton ordered.
“Yes, Mr. Carter, replied the guards. As they carried Norman away, he laughed coldly, “Hahaha, Denton, you’ll never learn of Sylas’s whereabouts from me. Hahaha…”
“Dad, what if he doesn’t reveal where Sylas and the others are?” Christopher asked, concern evident in his voice.
Denton replied, “You stay here and question him rigorously. Use whatever means necessary to get him to talk.
“I will lead our martialists to the Weston residence to search.”
“Understood, Dad, Christopher responded promptly,
Minutes later, Denton, accompanied by two or three dozen of the Carter family’s martialists and Phantom Guards, left in a convoy of vehicles heading towards the Weston family’s mansion.
In the dungeon of the Weston family.
The large dungeon, spanning over thousands of square feet, was sparse; devoid of any furniture except for mats that lined the floor.
On these mats lay a group of people – Sylas, Julian, and other members of the Star Gate, all under the influence of Norman’s sedative powder.

Handcuffs and shackles restricted their movements.
Groans broke the silence as they began to regain consciousness.

The agonizing pain had cruelly snapped Sylas back to reality, and the others from Star Gate had similarly roused due to discomfort.
Upon awakening, Sylas first noticed the unfamiliar surroundings, and he was lying on a cold floor.
Above him was a concrete ceiling, and the walls surrounding him were made of the same material, with a rough, unfinished texture.
Where was this place?
Why did he feel that this place was like a prison?
Attempting to make sense of the situation, he tried to sit up.
Yet when Sylas tried to gather strength, he was struck with a sharp, piercing pain.
The other members of the Star Gate tried to rise as well, but their efforts only resulted in excruciating cries of pain.
“It hurts so much!”
“Why are my hands broken?”
“And my feet too!”
At that moment, a hollow voice, eerily reminiscent of the dead, echoed through the chamber. “Don’t waste your strength. Your limbs have been broken. You’ll never stand again.”
Following the voice, Sylas saw a man in a corner. His hair was unkempt, his face gaunt, and his eyes were devoid of life, brimming with despair. He too had shackles on his wrists and ankles.
“Who are you?” Sylas asked, taken aback.
The man laughed weakly, “Who am I?
“I was once the proud young master of the Palmer family. Now, I’m trapped in this godforsaken place, a living hell.”
Indeed, this man, with his wild hair and despair–filled eyes, was none other than Benjamin.
“Where are we?” Sylas continued, “Who did this to us?”
Benjamin’s eyes blazed with hatred. “This is the Weston family’s dungeon. The ones who broke your limbs are the Westons.”
Sylas, Julian, and the others from Star Gate recalled the moment they fell unconscious after drinking the Earl Grey served by Norman.
Rage filled their eyes.
Sylas fumed, “So it was that old fox Norman who drugged our coffee. I’ll kill him!”
“Kill him?” Benjamin scoffed. “That’s a pipe dream. This dungeon is several meters underground, secured- with thick steel doors. We’re trapped.”
Only then did Sylas notice the imposing steel door of the dungeon. There was just a small rectangular slot in the center of it, presumably to pass food and drinks through. There was no way out.
The room had a small restroom, and there was a vent in the ceiling for ventilation.
Escape seemed utterly impossible.
Despair overwhelmed Sylas.
The rest of the martialists from Star Gate also sank into hopelessness.
Their faces were painted with terror, the fear palpable
“Are we destined to wither away in this sunless dungeon?” Sylas thought.

“No, I don’t want to spend my entire life locked up here, wasting away. I want to return to Star Gate!” Sylas exclaimed in a fit of desperation.
However, his terrified screams only echoed through the dungeon, unheard by anyone outside. Benjamin, with his numb and cold expression, suddenly seemed to come alive upon hearing the words “Star Gate.
He looked at Sylas, “You’re from Star Gate?”
Sylas, pain evident in his voice, replied, “Yes, my father is the leader of Star Gate. I don’t want to die here.” Hope flickered in Benjamin’s eyes.
He quickly asked, “How did you end up imprisoned by Norman?”
Sylas then explained how the Carter family sought protection from Star Gate, how he was assigned to lead the Star Gate martialists to Oakhaven to protect the Carters, and how he went to the Weston family to find Lawrence but was deceived by Norman and imprisoned here.
Then, Sylas looked at Benjamin, asking, “And what about you? How did you end up in this dungeon?” Grinding his teeth with anger, Benjamin recounted how the Weston family promised to help him seek revenge and won his trust.
But after he revealed a secret about the Treasure Map to them, they imprisoned him to keep the secret safe.
Sylas and the rest of the martialists from Star Gate were shocked after hearing the story.
The reason why they were shocked was that when Benjamin told them how the Weston family had framed him, he also told them that Denton had the Treasure Map.
After gathering himself, Sylas asked, “Benjamin, is it true that Denton has the Treasure Map?”
Benjamin immediately raised his hand in oath, “If there’s even a shred of falsehood in what I’ve said, may I die right here in this dungeon, meeting a gruesome end!”
