Chapter 2265

Autor: Marina Vittori
"What's going on? Isn't that man supposed to be an ascetic priest? What is he doing at a Combat Tournament?"

"They say ascetic priests aren't interested in power or wealth. Yet, here he is, stepping into the battle ring. It's really strange."

"Wait! I know him. He's the renegade among the ascetic priests, Thaddeus Savier."

"What? Father Savier? Are you talking about the same guy who slaughtered an entire family in a fit of rage eight years ago?"

The mention of Thaddeus' name caused a stir in the crowd. There were only a few ascetic priests in the world, and he stood out distinctly among them.

No one knew what had happened. But rumors circulated that he had allegedly slain 17 members of the guildmaster's family from the Sable Order in one night eight years ago.

Since then, Thaddeus had forsaken his vows entirely. He indulged in all sorts of vices—drinking, women, and money.

His temper was notoriously explosive. Plus, he was quick to resort to violence at the slightest provocatio

  • An Understated Dominance   Chapter 2748

    Within an elegantly appointed study at the Mosey mansion, Seamus, the prince of a different lineage, was personally pouring drinks for two young visitors.The atmosphere was markedly different from the rest of the mansion. The usual imposing grandeur was absent, replaced by the cautious courtesy reserved for those of superior status.Evander Quinton remained impassive, offering only a slight nod in response to Seamus' attentiveness.Elowen Quinton lifted her cup and inhaled the aroma of the tea. She held herself gracefully, yet there was an unmistakable distance in her posture."This tea is excellent," she remarked after a sip, sounding genuinely pleased."These leaves are spiritual tea from the Appalchi Highlands, a most rare vintage," Seamus replied with a smile. "Should it be to your liking, I will have a selection prepared for you at once.""No need for such formalities, Sir Mosey." Evander set down his cup and got straight to the point. "We don't have much time. Have you giv

    Back at the office, Dahlia settled into the executive chair behind her desk. Her fingers drummed a silent rhythm on its smooth surface as she focused on the screen.The briefing from Lyra showed that pressure from Dash Corporation, backed by the Ballard family, was rapidly mounting.After a moment's consideration, Dahlia stopped hesitating. She picked up her phone, scrolled to a number she rarely dialed yet knew by heart, and pressed call. The line rang several times before connecting.The voice on the line was Natasha's. Her composure was clearly forced, and the icy edge beneath it was impossible to miss."What a rare pleasure, Ms. Nicholson. Is this a call to flaunt the Mosey family's influence, or simply to savor my current predicament?"Dahlia ignored the jab, cutting straight to the point. "I'm not behind the troubles that your company is facing."A short, derisive laugh came through the line, heavy with scorn."So you've got the nerve to make a move, but not to admit it?"

    Natasha was convinced Dahlia was behind it. As Seamus' goddaughter, Dahlia controlled nearly half of the Mosey family's finances. Her influence in business and high society was undeniable. With the full support of the Moseys behind her, crushing Dash Corporation would be child's play.Natasha's eyes narrowed, a cold glint flashing within them as she searched for Dahlia's motive. Her thoughts snapped back to the barbecue restaurant the day before, to her own blatant display of affection, which she knew had struck a nerve.Given Dahlia's pride and aloof nature, Natasha was sure she wouldn't make a scene in public. Yet she could easily imagine Dahlia nursing a private grudge and using her business influence to exact revenge, all to humiliate her. In fact, Natasha sensed this might not just be about revenge. Something more calculated had been at play."Dahlia, I didn't expect you to be this petty," Natasha muttered, tapping her fingers on the desk absently, her gaze hardening."Eve

    Natasha received a call from her secretary, Liora Hayes."Ms. Harmon!" Her voice was choked with tears. "We have a crisis. Half an hour ago, we received several calls from Vanguard Group, Sterling Group, and Paramount Properties. They've all issued unilateral notices terminating their contracts. Even every agreed-upon project is suspended.""What?" Natasha's face paled instantly. "They're terminating their contracts? How is that possible? The contract's already been signed. Are they planning to breach them outright?""They only mentioned strategic adjustments and refused to elaborate. As for the penalty clauses, they stated they're willing to pay in full," Liora explained, her tone urgent.She added, "But it gets worse. Several of our long-term suppliers and distribution partners have just sent formal notices. They're claiming circumstances beyond their control and cutting off all supply and support.""How can this be happening?" Natasha asked.Dread settled in her chest as the r

    Grace no longer looked at Warren. She fixed her gaze on Gilbert, who was scared out of his wits, and Frederick, whose face had gone completely pale. Her voice was sharp and unwavering, radiating undeniable authority."You've broken the law, led a gang to commit violence, carried weapons, harmed others, and threatened public officials. Your criminal history is well established, and the evidence is undeniable. You will face the harshest punishment the law allows."Her eyes swept to Warren, still on his knees, and warned him one last time. "If anyone is to blame, blame your dear nephews. They did what they shouldn't have and offended the wrong people."She spoke deliberately, each word cutting through the room as she sealed the brothers' fate."Effective immediately, all privileges and status held by Gilbert and Frederick are revoked. They will be transferred to the judicial authorities and severely punished in accordance with the law. From now on, they'll spend the rest of their li

    "I… I swear, Your Royal Highness. It's not true. There's absolutely no such thing," Warren stammered.His face drained of color, sweat rolling down his forehead. He waved his hands frantically and hunched over, trying to make himself smaller.His voice cracked with desperation, saying, "You've misunderstood. Just a… It was just a small misunderstanding. I was worried my two foolish nephews were being mistreated at the police station. "I got flustered and spoke too harshly, but I never meant to threaten Chief Wolfe. Right? It was a misunderstanding, wasn't it?"He pleaded with his eyes at Cedric, silently begging him to speak on his behalf.Cedric didn't dare to say anything. He kept his head down, staring at his toes, as if he'd heard nothing.Grace's lips curved into a faint, cold smile. "A misunderstanding? Speaking too harshly? Warren, did you really think you could fool me?""No, Your Royal Highness. I—""Then tell me," she cut him off, her tone sharp and unforgiving. "You
