Chapter 441 No One Is Allowed to Disrespect Zeke

Since his secret couldn't be known to anyone yet, he couldn't disappear for an extended period of time"Oh, Zeke, it's you."Graham's expression changed the moment he saw Zeke enter. Forcing a smile, he replied, "Nothing serious. It's just that I wanted the Leightons and the Solbergs to be my important aides out of old friendships, but they actually refused."With that, Graham angrily recounted how the Leightons and the Solbergs had rejected him and mocked him. However, Zeke remained completely unmoved. A faint smile stayed on his face."Mr. Golden, you're getting angry all just for that? It's completely unnecessary."A smile played on Zeke's lips, but there was something sinister beneath it. "They're stubborn. No amount of persuasion will change them. If they were willing to accept me, their attitude would have changed long ago. You wouldn't even have needed to speak to them."'I have realized this long ago. The Leightons and the Solbergs are narrow-minded. No matter how hig

Chapter 442 A Debt Demanded in Blood and Pride

That was a life-saving favor. 50 bows were the least he should do.Graham's thoughts were simple. Zeke could choose not to care because he was magnanimous and didn't sweat the small stuff. However, Graham couldn't just brush it off.It would be a question of attitude if one knew there was a problem and didn't fix it. And right now, he had the means to deal with it.Graham grew even angrier as he thought back to how Stefan and Cynthia, along with Thaddeus, had refused him earlier.'Stefan, Cynthia, open your damn eyes and take a good look! This is the person you've been protecting all along! He's ungrateful as hell and doesn't even know basic manners! What an uncultured swine! The Solberg family protected him for three years, yet it was all for nothing!'He dialed Stefan again. This time, he no longer bothered with being courteous. He sounded like he was ready to blow a fuse, as if speaking to an enemy. "Stefan, listen carefully. Call that rascal Evan over right now. I've got quest

Chapter 443 A Farce of Gratitude

Graham arrived quickly.He was dressed in a sharp suit, causing his entire presence to feel different. He now looked more imposing and more assured of himself. There was a sizable entourage following him, making them quite the spectacle.Stefan even noticed that Graham had upgraded his ride. It used to be a Mercedes-Benz, but it was now a Rolls-Royce. Every single detail screamed that Graham had put a lot of money into completely reinventing himself.Meanwhile, Hazel and Roxanne watched with undisguised envy. Their gazes drifted toward their parents with a trace of resentment, as if silently saying, 'See? This is what comes from recognizing Zeke's worth. We could have had what Mr. Golden has now if you'd chosen to follow his lead.'Alas, Stefan and Cynthia remained indifferent, their expressions calm and unmoved. There wasn't a hint of envy. If anything, Thaddeus' eyes even carried a faint trace of contempt when he looked at Graham."Stefan, no offense, but you don't have to go

Chapter 444 The Truth Twisted Beyond Recognition

'I still don't know what caused Zeke's sudden transformation!'A trace of irritation crept into his voice. "Are all of you stupid? Zeke has fooled you, and you don't even realize it! He wasn't the one who saved you. He just stole the credit!"'What?'The entire room froze in shock.Even Graham thought he had misheard. "What did you just say? Zeke stole someone else's credit?"Hazel, Roxanne, and Anya all widened their eyes, staring at Evan in disbelief."Use your brain for once. What can a sickly guy do to scare off Solomon?""That's because Zeke and the Depart—"Hazel instinctively started to mention the Department of Mystia, but Graham cut her off with a sharp gesture. He turned back to Evan, letting out a cold laugh. "Fine. You claim Zeke stole the credit, so tell me. Who actually saved you and the Solbergs?""Do you even need to ask? It was obviously me!" Evan's expression darkened, his patience wearing thin. "I was the one who forced Solomon to retreat. I saved the Solber

Evan's expression finally changed at that. It hit him like a bolt out of the blue. He was completely stunned.'The Department of Mystia… Zeke is connected to them? How is that even possible?'From what Evan had seen during his recent interactions with the Department of Mystia, its members were incredibly arrogant. They worshipped strength above all else. There was no way they would associate with an ordinary person like Zeke.'Zeke is lying.'The more Evan thought about it, the stranger the situation seemed. How did Zeke even know about the Department of Mystia? Most people had never even heard of such a secretive organization.'Even Sylvie was clueless about it.'A faint sense of unease crept into Evan's mind. "You're saying that Zeke knows the Department of Mystia?" he asked again, unable to stop himself from confirming with Graham."Exactly! What, did that shut you up?" Graham burst out laughing, looking at Evan with open disdain. "You really thought you could claim credit fo

Chapter 446 When Power Walked In

Graham froze in disbelief, his anger flaring even higher. He glared at Evan as if he wanted to tear him apart. "You ungrateful bastard. I would've told Zeke to leave you to die if I'd known you'd turn out like this!"A cold smile tugged at Evan's lips. "Graham, there's nothing I can do if you're so determined to believe a lie. Just don't come crying to me later when things blow up. I've already given you a fair warning."He then turned to Hazel, Roxanne, and Anya. "He says he knows people from the Department of Mystia. Have any of you actually seen it with your own eyes?""No, but we don't need to!" Anya shot back firmly. "Zeke's incurable illness is gone, and he's completely transformed. He's powerful now, strong enough to protect us. Isn't that proof enough?""Exactly. Who else could've done such a miracle besides the Department of Mystia?" Roxanne added.Evan hadn't expected them to buy that lie like a bunch of morons. He almost laughed, but said nothing more. He was about to l

Chapter 447 A Misplaced Glory

Now, it was certain. Zeke really did have close ties with the Department of Mystia.Graham had always believed in Zeke's abilities, but he still had his doubts when it came to his supposed ties with the Department of Mystia. After all, he'd never seen it with his own eyes. But now, every last bit of doubt he had been harboring had been wiped away.'Zeke really does have ties to the legendary Department of Mystia!'The excitement on Hazel, Roxanne, and Anya's faces surpassed even Graham's. Ever since Zeke had recovered from his illness, the surprises he brought had come one after another. The moment Helso admitted he had come for Zeke, it felt like they had hit the jackpot.'That's the director himself.'They knew what the Department of Mystia represented, and they understood exactly how much weight the title of Uppersea branch director carried. They couldn't imagine the implications for someone at that level to personally visit Zeke. Both Imperia and Uppersea would be in an upro

Chapter 448 An Offer Refused

Helso didn't even know who Zeke was.At that moment, the two of them stepped out of the Solberg Residence one after the other."Go on, what do you want?" Evan said flatly. Truthfully, he knew why Helso was here. It was most likely about Kaldor, and perhaps an attempt to recruit him into the Department of Mystia.Helso's gaze settled on Evan as he carefully sized him up. This was their first meeting as he hadn't been present when Evan had crossed paths with Orion. After a long moment, he withdrew his gaze and gave a simple nod. "Not bad."If the young prodigies within the Department of Mystia had heard that, they would've gone insane.Helso was the director of the Uppersea Branch, and he rarely praised anyone. But when he did, it meant the person truly had exceptional potential.Countless young elites in the entire Uppersea branch and even those from the main headquarters had pushed themselves to the limit, all hoping to earn a word of praise from him. So far, only Orion had ever

Chapter 449 A Man Who Stood Alone

Evan could tell that Helso didn't wear arrogance like a mantle, unlike Penelope, Orion, and the rest of the members of the Department of Mystia. As the director, he acted more like a mentor, offering guidance to coerce rather than strong-arm someone into joining.Unfortunately for him, Evan truly didn't need any support."Mr. Genley, allow me to speak plainly," Evan said with a calm smile, completely at ease. "I don't need anyone backing me up. I am my own greatest support."Helso's eyes widened in shock.This was the first time he had ever felt such overwhelming, self-sovereign dominance from someone so young. To his surprise, it was something even his own disciple, Orion, didn't possess.'This kid is different.'"Alright. Since you've chosen your path, I won't force you," Helso said in acceptance, but the regret on his face was unmistakable. He truly wanted to bring Evan into the fold as he felt that letting a talent like this out of their grasp felt like a complete waste."Yo

Chapter 450 Lies That Took Root

Orion continued to speak imperiously, sending another wave of shock through the group.Even Penelope and Quirinus couldn't help but agree with him.When they thought about it, the conflicts between them and Evan, including his subsequent clash with Orion, could all be traced back to one thing. It had always been Evan versus the Department of Mystia.They were certain that none of this would have happened if Evan had just been a little more cooperative from the start and if he had obediently revealed his secrets and registered his personal information into the system.…Orion brought the news straight to Sylvie, who was still sulking."What? Evan was injured by Mr. Genley?" Sylvie froze, utterly incredulous. "That's impossible! Don't you dare lie to me!"Orion merely smiled at her. "I have no reason to lie to you, Ms. Santon. My master met up with him. Do you understand what that means?"Sylvie's eyes widened at the implication, her expression turning blank.Ivana and Gaius als
