Victor’s gaze settled on Juline. Are you truly willing to defy my orders for him?” he questioned.
“Dad, Juline began, “it’s not that I want to go against your words. It’s just that the Wyatt family wants to put Gilmore in grave danger, and I can’t stand by and do nothing”
Victor nodded in understanding. Juline, it seems you’re truly smitten by him. You’re deeply enchanted, to say the least.”
Without another word, Victor swiftly flicked his finger.
A sharp, piercing sound echoed through the room.
With his skillful technique, Victor directed a burst of internal mana at Juline, hitting a specific acupoint on her body.
Suddenly, Juline found herself paralyzed and unable to move.
“Dad, why did you seal my acupoint? Release me immediately!” she implored.
Ignoring her plea, Victor turned to the Blade Gate martialists in the hall and commanded, “Capture Gilmore. If he resists, show no mercy and kill him!”
“Yes, Leader,” the martialists responded in unison.
“Run, Gilmore!” Juline, though immobilized, managed to shout out a warning.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
But before she could say more, Victor flicked his finger again, sealing another of Juline’s acupoint, leaving her mute.
She tried to call out, but no sound came.
Benny, James, and Travis exchanged triumphant glances.
With Juline unable to assist Gilmore, his fate
e was sealed.
In this way, they could avenge Karl’s death,
As for James‘ deception regarding Karl injuring Juline, and the fabricated tale about the Field family sending Gilmore to kidnap Juline for the CBD project bid, they believed that the Leader would be lenient on the death of Karl.
Besides, the Wyatt family securing the CBD project bid also benefits the Blade Gate.
A significant portion of the money the Wyatt family earns ultimately ends up enriching Blade Cate’s coffers.
In many ways, the Wyatt family is a crucial source of wealth for Blade Gate.
This rationale underpins Victor’s decision to still target Gilmore, even after discovering the Wyatt’s fabrications. Simply put, Gilmore couldn’t hold a candle to the stature and importance of the Wyatt family.
As the martialists of the Blade Gate launched their combined assault, with fists and palms piercing the air, aiming at Gilmore’s vital points, Gilmore remained unflinchingly calm, as if their attacks were mere gusts of wind.
He turned his attention to Juline and said, “Juline, if your father chooses to stand by the Wyatts, blind to their deceit, over believing you, then why not leave Blade Gate with me? We can travel the world, hand in hand.”
Juline, still unable to speak, shook her head, her lips moving bur producing no sound.

Yet, from the shape of her lips and her expressive eyes, Gilmore deciphered her message: she wasn’t willing to leave Blade Gate or her father.
Reacting quickly, Gilmore unscaled her vocal acupoint..
The moment she regained her voice, Juline pleaded, ‘Gilmore, go, save yourself. Don’t worry about me. I… I won’t leave my father or Blade Gate!”
Using God’s Eye, Gilmore discerned that Juline’s true reason for staying was her deep bond with her father.
She had lost her mother to illness at a tender age, making her father the sole pillar of her world.
She was also the most important person in her father’s heart.
If she left with Gilmore, it would shatter her father’s heart.
Understanding her predicament, Gilmore didn’t press her.
Even though Victor had sealed her pressure points, she was, after all, his beloved daughter, and he would never harm her “Alright,” Gilmore said to Juline, “I’ll come to Blade Gate to find you in the future.” From NôvelDrama.Org.
Juline nodded at Gilmore, “Alright, I’ll be waiting for you at Blade Gate.”
She hoped that one day when Gilmore comes to Blade Gate, her father wouldn’t harbor the same animosity towards him as he did today.
Perhaps Gilmore and her father could turn from foes to friends and her relationship with Gilmore could gain her father’s blessing.
Just as she finished her thought, the elite martialists of Blade Gate lunged at Gilmore with explosive internal mana, their attacks mere inches from striking him.
However, in a blink, like a gust of wind, Gilmore’s figure vanished.
The Blade Gate martialists stopped, perplexed, their moves failing to find their mark.
“I’m here!” A voice echoed from outside the villa
The martialists turned their gazes to the villa’s entrance, and there, to their astonishment, stood Gilmore, looking back at them, an air of ease about him.
Not only were the martialists of Blade Gate in the living room stunned, wondering what kind of Windwalk Gilmore had employed to dodge the combined onslaught of so many, but also Victor, Travis, and James displayed unexpected surprise in their eyes.
They hadn’t anticipated Gilmore to b
this swift!
It dawned on them that Gilmore’s martial arts skills seemed more profound than they’d assumed.
A glint appeared in Victor’s eyes as he internally mused, “No worlder Karl, with his extraordinary martial arts talent, fell to Gilmore’s hands
Yet, even if Gilmore had displayed exceptional prowess, because of what Benny had said that Gilmore clearly had a girlfriend, Helene, yet deceitfully involved himself with his daughter – Victor was resolute
Juline was the most precious person to him in this world.
Mon, Sep
Therefore, he would never agree to Juline being with Gilmore and would certainly not allow Gilmore to continue hurting his beloved daughter.
Almost immediately, the dozen or so martialists from the living room charged out of the villa. Joined by the martialists outside, they swiftly and tightly encircled Gilmore.
Victor couldn’t believe that, this time, facing over a hundred Blade Gate martialists, Gilmore could still escape with ease?
The eyes of Travis and James also flashed with a fierce light, thinking, “This time, even if Gilmore had wings, he wouldn’t be able to flee!”
However, just then, a deafening crash echoed from the direction of the mansion’s main gate.
All the Blade Gate martialists instinctively looked towards the sound, only to see the mansion’s tightly closed gate being smashed open by a black SUV
The windshield of the SUV shattered instantly, its engine hood flung off, and thick smoke billowed out.
This SUV, now resembling a wrecked car, drove towards the main villa, emitting dark smoke.
Following the gate’s crash, around twenty to thirty black Mercedes cars swiftly drove in.
Before the astonished eyes of the Wyatt family’s security and martialists, this formidable convoy quickly parked in front of the main villa.
Doors of the cars swung open, and nearly a hundred martialists from Star Gate alighted.
These hundred Star Gate martialists swiftly formed ranks on the open ground, standing like soldiers ready for battle, their gazes firm and their presence imposing.
At this moment, from one of the Mercedes, three robed elders descended.
As these elders stepped out, all the Blade Gate martialists on–site immediately felt an overpowering aura emanating from them
These three were none other than the esteemed elders of Star Gate, the Senior Presbyter, Tiger; the Second Presbyter, Phoenix; and the Third Presbyter, Steve.
Senior Presbyter Tiger’s eyes scanned the Blade Gate martialists on the open ground, and then fixed on Gilmore, who was surrounded tightly by them.
Spotting his target, his eyes lit up, and he immediately bowed respectfully, calling out, “Mr. Reed, we’ve come on our leader’s orders to escort you!”
The Second Presbyter, Phoenix, and the Third Presbyter, Steve, also immediately bowed to Gilmore, saying in unison, “Mr. Reed, we are here for you!”
The three Star Gate presbyters, behaving with such deference as if they were mere servants, deeply bowing to Gilmore, left all the Blade Gate martialists outside and Victor, Travis, and James inside the villa utterly stunned.
Everyone thought, “Who on earth is this Gilmore?
“Why would three high–ranking presbyters from Star Gate personally come to the Wyatt family to fetch him?”
