Richard immediately thought of Xylia, who was still inside the manor.*

His eyes flashed with malice.*

“Even if you’re acting as Joshua’s pawn now, it won’t make a difference. My private estate is filled with traps- once he steps in, there’s no way out for him.“*

Richard’s smile twisted with cruelty, his voice chilling as if he were a demon unleashed from hell.*

“But you’re born and raised in Daltonia. Sure, we’ve got old grudges, but is it really worth going to war against me for some outsider like Joshua? Philia, you’re seriously shameless.”*

Philia, hit with an unprovoked insult, felt his confusion morph instantly into anger.

“This damn sissy dares call me shameless!‘ he thought.

“Look who’s talking! Wasn’t it your dad who came to Daltonia, played assistant to mine for just a month, then stole the family secrets and ran off on his own? That’s how you lot got so powerful. If anyone’s shameless, it’s you and your old man–everyone finds you utterly disgusting!“*

“But hey, justice was served. Your dad got what was coming to him for betraying others. You and your father will end up destroyed by your own shamelessness!“*

Richard couldn’t stand anyone trash–talking his dad.

He lost it and charged straight at Philia, fists swinging hard.

The goons behind both of them didn’t hesitate–they dove right in as their bosses brawled, and the whole basement exploded into a wild mass of fighting bodies.

Everything down there melted into utter pandemonium.

And it wasn’t just chaos underground–Richard’s private manor had erupted into turmoil of its own.

Holt and his crew rolled up to the gate.

He was expecting Joshua to show up, but the one at the door turned out to be Graham Green instead.

Behind Graham, in a sleek black Maybach, a man in a tailored suit sat in the passenger seat, silver hair gleaming, head bowed, making no move to step out.

That was Joshua himself.

Holt let out a cold laugh.

‘Still trying to look cool and mysterious, hiding out in the car at a time like this?‘ Holt thought.

But the whole estate was a trap set just for Joshua.

Even if Joshua didn’t set foot out of that car, Holt knew he could get him anyway.

“Hey, Mr. Garcia, since you’re already here, what’s with hiding in the car?” Holt shouted.

Graham Green stepped casually to the side, just enough to block Holt’s sightline to the Maybach, almost as if daring him to try harder.

“What’s wrong, is your boss Mr. Shaw too scared to come greet us himself?” Graham asked, arrogance dripping from every syllable.
