Chapter 1476
With everyone's gaze fixed on them, the convoy of luxury cars slowly made their way to the opposite side of the road. Finally, they stopped right at the front of Rejuvenaid Pharmaceuticals.Eleanor was elated at the sight of that. "Haha! They're here for us! Our backup is finally here!""Yes! It's time we show them what we're capable of!" Ezra was also overjoyed.Though Ethan's presence had changed things for them, they were fully prepared to reverse the tides."Who could it be?" Alistair mumbled as he rubbed his chin. Anticipation was evident in his eyes.Most of the Welch and Swanson families' allies were already there. Could there be a surprise in store for them?"Dustin! Lana! Bo!" Eleanor called them out one by one haughtily, "I told you, don't be happy too soon!"What do you think now? Not so happy anymore, are we?""I admit that you're quite a worthy opponent. Unfortunately, we're just much better than you!" Ezra said proudly.As Ezra and Eleanor taunted their opponents
Chapter 1477
At that moment, not only Eleanor but everyone from the Welch and Swanson families were shocked.Never in their dreams had they expected things to turn out this way.They had a chance at winning the bet had it just been the Langfords. But now, there were even two ancient houses involved. No matter their tricks or abilities, they were all rendered useless.After all, there was a stark difference between wealthy families and ancient houses. They were on entirely different levels! Wealthy families were just rich. But ancient houses wielded power and influence! The rich were nothing compared to the powerful and influential.It would not be an exaggeration to say that ancient houses could wipe out any wealthy family within a night if they wished. That was how different the wealthy families and ancient houses were."The Langfords, the Fallons, and the Ballards … How could this be? What on earth has happened?" Ezra gaped in terror.He simply could not comprehend how an insignificant co

The company was closed even before the Welch and Swanson families could profit from it. In addition to having a warehouse full of the ointment, the money invested had also gone down the drain because they couldn't sell it.Suddenly, the Welch and Swanson families were in deep waters. On the other hand, the Camron family was in a completely different situation. They had just joined the elite social rank right away because of the support shown by the two ancient houses.Not only were they making money, but they had towered above the most influential families in the city in terms of networking. If this continued, they'd finally be able to join the rank of influential families within three months! By that time, Oakvale would have nine great families!…It was nighttime in the Welch family meeting room. Alistair, the leader of the Welch family, and Barry Swanson, the leader of the Swanson family, were in a discussion. Only a few other core members, like Eleanor and Ezra, were al

"That's enough. There's no point in discussing all these now. Let's redirect our focus on finding a way out of the current situation." Joanne, who had remained silent all this while, suddenly spoke up. She was decisive, swift, and wouldn't give up easily. She would find ways to regain their losses."Obviously, we can no longer sell Rejuvenaid as two ancient houses have spoken." Barry sighed as he looked up and said, "Alistair, you are always full of ideas. "Do you have any ideas how we can recoup some of our losses?""This is too little time for me to think of anything." Alistair looked helpless. If he had any ideas, he wouldn't be worrying right now."Dad! I might have an idea!" Eleanor suddenly had a thought and spoke up."Really? What is it? Tell me." Alistair was immediately intrigued. Everyone else turned to look at her and was ready to listen to her idea."Dad, we got the formula for Rejuvenaid from Dustin. Do you think he may have other similar formulas?" Eleanor said a

Dustin, Lana, Bo, and others gathered around the table to drink and chit-chat.Their new company had just launched, and they had already profited quite a lot. It was the perfect end to their day. They decided to celebrate their success at the Regal Court after a busy day."Hahaha, what an amazing day! That bitch couple, Ezra and Eleanor, finally failed for once! I can't help but laugh whenever I remember their faces when they lost." Bo laughed loudly with his glass raised.He always disliked Eleanor and Ezra. They even went to threaten his sister at her place a few days ago. He finally got his revenge today."This is all thanks to Mr. Dawson's social network. You managed to invite the Fallon family and the Ballard family today. If not, we wouldn't be this successful!" Lana raised her glass with a smile."Hold on …" Bo was taken aback and frantically said, "I thought the Camrons invited the ancient houses? How is the Dawson family involved?""What?" Lana's face froze. "Mr. Dawson,

"What?" Looking at the palm covering the opening of the glass, Bo was shocked. "Fishy? How so?" He sniffed the wine and said confusedly, "The wine has a full-bodied fragrance and a lasting after smell. It's fine.""The wine on its own is fine. But there is something else in it. If you drink it, you'll die." Dustin replied seriously."Is the wine poisoned?" Bo frowned and put down his glass of wine slowly. He turned to gaze at his bodyguards and asked coldly, "What's going on?"It was protocol that his wine would be tested for poison before it was served to him. It'd only be brought before Bo if it was deemed safe."Mr. Dawson, we tested the wine. There was no poison in it." The bodyguards immediately shook their heads to confirm that the wine hadn't been poisoned."I saw it with my own eyes. The test was negative." Elara, the female grandmaster, said calmly."Dustin, could you have made a mistake?" Bo thought it was weird. He could choose not to trust his bodyguards, but he w

"Take her away for interrogation!" Elara ordered. With a wave of her hand, two of her subordinates dragged the waitress away. They couldn't let any suspect escape in a situation like this."Both of you, check if there was any stranger in the kitchen tonight with the kitchen staff."As for the both of you, check the surveillance footage. Make sure you check every single person who came into the restaurant tonight."Elara wasted no time in giving out orders. Bo's bodyguards immediately did as they were told."Mr. Dawson, all this was my mistake. I almost caused a disaster. I'll gladly accept any punishment." Elara apologized with a bow."It wasn't your fault. Who would have expected such a wicked method?" Bo appeared stern."Have you upset anyone lately?" Lana asked suddenly."No one that I can think of." Bo shook his head. "I rarely go out in public, so I haven't had the chance to upset anyone."Bo's eye suddenly twitched as he uttered, "Hold on! Could it be the Welch and Swan
Chapter 1483
The night had grown darker on the outskirts of South City, inside an old and rustic mansion. Ezra paced restlessly in the living room with his hands clasped behind his back, clearly anxious. To confront Dustin and his gang, he had enlisted a master from the Mystic Arts Order, someone even more powerful than Theodore, although slightly eccentric and unpredictable. This man had a sadistic side, as seen by the three unfortunate women who had left his presence battered and on the verge of death. Ezra didn't tend to show unnecessary sympathy, but appeasing this man with a twisted personality proved to be quite a challenge. The threat to his life loomed large if he accidentally provoked him.The door squeaked open, revealing a thin figure in a black robe with a satisfied grin. In the adjoining room, there was a horrifying scene: a woman bound and bloodied, her life cruelly taken from her.Ezra turned away in shock. The master, Caspian Yuletide, sauntered out, visibly content. Ezra ca
