Chapter 496 Those Who Refused the Invitation

Author: J.J. Twelve
He adjusted the glasses perched on the bridge of his sharp nose and slowly rose to his feet.

Light reflected off the lenses. Paired with the faint curve of his lips, it gave him an unreadable air, as if everything had already been laid bare before him.

Twisting the blood-red gemstone ring on his finger, he quietly turned and left.

By then, the banquet was nearing its end. Only now did Graham realize that although he had invited every major force in Silverton, several families were clearly ab

  • Sorry, Too Late   Chapter 514 A Desperate Last Card

    Not only had Zeke failed to save them, but Alistair had casually crippled him with a single flick of his staff."Zeke!" Hazel and the other two finally snapped out of their shock and rushed over as if they had lost their minds.Even Ciel failed to stop them.They dropped to Zeke's side, and the moment they saw him lying there unconscious, critically injured and still coughing up blood, they broke down in tears.In that instant, every beautiful hope they had built for the future shattered like glass.Graham, who had remained silent until now, suddenly went limp and collapsed to the ground. His body trembled uncontrollably.Zeke was his foundation. More than that, he was practically Graham's emotional pillar, the very thing propping up all his arrogance and reckless behavior.And now Zeke was down. Possibly gravely injured.It was over. His reputation. His status. His dream of replacing Cain. All of it was gone."No, this can't be the end!" The next second, Graham scrambled ac

    "You're interesting," Alistair said. "At first glance, I was disappointed. So this is the so-called powerhouse? But looking closer, I can see enormous potential buried inside you."His words nearly made Zeke's head explode.'Has he seen through me? No. That isn't possible. He must have only sensed something.'The Norwood bloodline inside him was unbelievably complex. Even the organization still had not fully figured it out."So," Alistair said, casually shifting the conversation, "are you ending this yourself, or should I do it?"His tone remained calm, almost indifferent. He had come here to kill. Anyone connected to this matter was going to die.Zeke's fury instantly surged. Sure, this man was powerful, but the way he kept pressing him, treating him like he was not even human, was too much.He had survived the second phase of the special drug. He had clawed his way this far. How could he possibly die that easily?"Go to hell!" Zeke attacked without hesitation.The second p

  • Sorry, Too Late   Chapter 512 Bluffing With His Life

    If looks could kill, Zeke would've been pierced a thousand times over by now."Cain, I was the one who forced you to retreat! So get lost already. Don't act like you've forgotten what happened." Zeke glared at Cain, calling him by name and openly telling him to leave.The situation could not have been worse for him. Cain had shown up in person, and Zeke still had not made it through the third phase of the special drug.By all logic, telling the truth would have been the smarter choice.But if he admitted it now, if he confessed that he had been bluffing all along, that he had never forced Cain back and had merely happened to be nearby, his reputation would be destroyed. Especially in front of Hazel and the others.The image they had built of him would collapse instantly. And that was something Zeke absolutely couldn't accept. So he chose to double down.Cain burst into laughter. He raised a thumb at Zeke. "Good. You've got guts. Throwing your life away just to save your dignity.

  • Sorry, Too Late   Chapter 511 A Dangerous Bluff

    In an instant, Zeke felt his scalp prickle and his heart sink straight to the bottom of his stomach.How had Cain found his way here? And why had he captured Hazel, the other two, and Graham?But when he saw the way Graham was looking at him like he was some kind of savior, Zeke immediately understood.Graham must have gotten carried away after becoming the Lord of Silverton, bragging everywhere that Cain had been defeated and trashing Cain's name in the process.And eventually, word reached Cain.Unbelievable. Zeke had warned Graham again and again to keep a low profile.Rising to power was one thing. Running around announcing it to the world was another—especially when it dragged Zeke into trouble.But Graham had clearly ignored his warning. And now, this was the result.Once Zeke pieced everything together, fury surged through him. He wanted nothing more than to slap Graham across the face.'This is all your fault, and you still have the nerve to beg me for help?'"Zeke, s

  • Sorry, Too Late   Chapter 510 Walking Into the Trap

    Hazel and the others believed that without question."Enough!" Cain snapped, his expression cold from start to finish.These people had no idea what Alistair was capable of.Alistair, however, merely smiled. "Is that so? I'm actually looking forward to this. Let's hope I'm not disappointed."Cain was stunned for a moment, but when he looked at the women again, there was even more pity in his eyes.If they knew how Alistair had made his way to Silverton, they never would have said something so foolish.Northreach was thousands of miles from Silverton, and Alistair had fought his way across that entire distance.In almost every city along the route, he had challenged the strongest fighters and crushed them. Anyone who crossed his path had been beaten into terror.As for the occasional loudmouth who liked to posture, Alistair usually let them rant for his own amusement.Just as they were about to reach the villa where Zeke was in seclusion, a tortured scream erupted from inside.

  • Sorry, Too Late   Chapter 509 The Fall of a False King

    "You'll regret this! Zeke will avenge me!"The moment Graham saw Cain actually agree, a vicious smile twisted across his face.Hazel and the other two finally relaxed. They led Cain, Alistair, and the others toward the place where Zeke was in seclusion.Zeke was staying at one of Graham's villas, some distance away.The trip there was humiliating for Graham. He was being marched along like a prisoner.Just yesterday, he had stood at the peak, courted by everyone, hearing people call him 'Lord of Silverton' wherever he went.Today, he was being dragged along like a beaten stray.The contrast was brutal. How could someone as vain as Graham possibly accept it?Hazel and the others felt the same. What made it even worse was that people spotted them on the street.The heads of several prominent families were stunned."Isn't that Graham Golden, the so-called Lord of Silverton? Why is he being hauled around like that?""The one escorting him is Mr. Solomon. Good grief…"The moment

    Evan figured Gaius and Ivana already knew that Cain would arrive in Silverton the next day and would absolutely step in for him. However, he refused to let anyone get involved. He wanted to settle this himself. Thus, he called each of them in turn.The first person he contacted was Gaius, the Iron

    Hugo already knew Evan's true background. It was precisely with that knowledge that he understood that Cain had no way of touching Evan or him.…"How odd. How is Evan able to make Mr. Wells apologize to me? Things just don't add up…"Back at the Golden Residence, Graham and the three heiresses w

    They realized instantly that they were done for. Nothing and no one could save them now. They had been moments away from boarding an international flight, only to be captured in one fell swoop.The thought of their involvement in forging evidence three years ago, evidence that had framed Evan, sent

    "What? Simple?" Artemisia's eyes went wide in disbelief when she heard Evan's words.She had been studying this incomplete formula ever since she'd been overseas, working on it for days and nights. Yet, she still had no clue how to fix it. And now Evan said it was an easy fix?"To make matters wor
