    The reason Lawrence was so furious was not only because Gilmore publicly belittled his son Clive,


    but also because Reed


    Forlive’s martial arts and had him imprisoned.


    To rescue his son, Lawrence traveled thousands of miles from Sunsbury to Vista Verde, breaking


    Clive out of jail.


    As a master of the ck Hawks, when had Lawrence ever seen his son suffer such humiliation?


    Thus, when Gilmore publicly mentioned Clive’s disgrace, the rage in Lawrence’s heart reached its


    peak. Lawrence’s shout clearly made many of the elites in the hall slightly change their expressions,


    filled with fear.


    This was a master from the prestigious the ck Hawks in Sunsbury. If he took action, there would


    undoubtedly be bloodshed.


    Most of them were not martial arts experts, and even those who were skilled were far inferior to


    Lawrence’s strength. Therefore, they instinctively moved away from the center of the hall to avoid


    getting involved.


    This left only the members of the Carter family and the Foster family standing beside Gilmore and


    Lawrence. Everyone was worried for Gilmore, especially since he had crippled Clive’s martial arts


    and had him imprisoned,


    Lawrence would not let this go, and a fierce battle was about to chupt at this party.


    “Gilmore, tell me! Do you want me to kill you, or will you take your own life?” Lawrence’s sharp, cold


    eyes stared intently at Gilmore as he spoke word by word.


    As he finished speaking, a chilling dagger slid out from his sleeve and into his right hand.


    With a flick of his wrist, the dagger flew out, embedding itself in the floor tiles just in front of


    Gilmore’s right foot, missing by a hair’s breadth.


    The de sank several inches into the tile, unmoving.


    Everyone looked horrified.


    With just a casual throw, Lawrence had embedded the dagger into the floor tiles, showcasing his


    profound internal mana. The sharpness of the dagger was also astonishing.

    “Lawrence, if you want to kill Gilmore, you’ll have to kill me first At this moment, Denton stepped


    forward, standing in front of Gilmore, and spoke with amanding tone.


    Lawrence’s


    gaze immediately shifted to Denton, but Denton met his Raze


    without flinching.

    Their eyes locked in a tense standoff.


    Lawrence’s face was cold and stern. When he shook hands with Denton earlier, he had secretly


    tested Denton’s strength.


    He found out that Denton was only a mid–level internal force martialist, clearly not on par with


    Lawrence’s top–tier skills.


    if they were to fi


    Therefore, Lawrence was confident he would defeat Denton.


    ire, her parents, and the Chen family were deeply concerned for Denton’s safety.


    After all, Lawrence was a renowned expert from the ck Hawks in Sunsbury.”


    How could Denton possibly be his match?


    At that moment, Norman, who had been watching from the sidelines, stepped in, pretending to try to


    mediate. He said, “Mr. Denton Carter, Mr. Lawrence Ray, both of you are my esteemed guests


    tonight.


    “As the saying goes, it’s better to resolve enmities than to hold onto them. Why does it have to be


    so extreme??”


    His peacemaking demeanor naturally earned him the respect and admiration of the many elites


    present.


    However, seeing his own performance winning over many, Norman felt secretly pleased.


    He knew that even if he tried to mediate, Lawrence and Denton would not reconcile.


    In fact, his mediation might even fan the mes of their anger.


    As expected, Lawrence coldly retorted, “Mr. Norman Weston, the grievance of crippling Clive’s


    martial arts cannot be reconciled!”


    Simrly, Denton firmly responded, “Norman, there’s no room for negotiation when ites to


    someone wanting to kill Gilmore. They’d have to step over my dead body first!”


    Norman sighed, feigning regret and helplessness, as if he deeply regretted not being able to


    mediate their hatred.


    “Mr. Norman Weston, Denton is the murderer of my grandpa!” Suddenly, a voice filled with hatred


    echoed from the


    entrance.


    Everyone’s gaze immediately shifted to the door.


    Under the protection of two bodyguards, Benjamin walked in..


    Surprise was evident on everyone’s faces.


    Why was Benjamin here?


    Many of the elites had attended the memorial service for Emerson a few days ago.


    They all knew that on that day, Benjamin had tried to kill Gilmore with a knife.


    Unexpectedly, he appeared at this elite party again.


    And he used Denton of being the murderer of Emerson!


    This made everyone incredulous. How could Denton possibly be the killer of Emerson?

    With a face full of hatred, Benjamin approached Norman, pointing at Denton a few meters away,


    reiterating. “Mr. Norman Weston, he is the one who killed my grandpal”


    Norman feigned anger and rebuked Benjamin, “Benjamin, how can you make such baseless


    usations? How could Denton be the killer of your grandpa?”


    “Mr. Norman Weston, I’m not talking nonsense. On the night my grandpa died, he sent Mr. Merrett


    and Mr. Richardson, who are also disciples of Mr. Lawrence Ray, to kill Gilmore, Benjamin’s eyes


    were sharp.


    “But Mr. Merrett and Mr. Richardson didn’t manage to kill Gilmore. Instead, they were killed by a


    mysterious masked man in ck.


    “Right after that, my grandpa was also killed by this masked man. It must have been Denton, trying


    to protect Gilmore, who killed my grandpa and Mr. Merrett and Mr. Richardson!


    “And in the entire city, before Mr. Lawrence Ray arrived, only Denton had the capability to kill my


    grandpa!”


    In fact, many of the elites in the hall, through their own means and channels, were aware of some of


    the things Benjamin mentioned.


    They knew about Emerson sending Cooper and Dean to kill Gilmore and about them being killed by


    a mysterious masked


    man.


    However, they hadn’t received any news that the masked man was Denton.


    Even though in the city, the only person capable of killing Emerson was indeed Denton, everything


    requires evidence. Without evidence, even if Benjamin’s words sounded convincing, they were still


    mere spections.


    Therefore, most of the elites in the hall didn’t react much to what Benjamin said.


    After all, they weren’t naive children who could be easily deceived by a few words.


    Denton looked at Benjamin andughed, “You say I’m the murderer of your grandfather, but ask


    everyone around here. Who would believe that?”


    Benjamin, of course, saw the disbelief on the faces of the elites around him, but he insisted, “You


    are the one who killed my grandpa, as well as Mr. Merrett and Mr. Richardson!”


    “Benjamin, stop ndering without evidence. What proof do you have to im that my grandpa is


    the murderer?


    “If you don’t have any evidence and still use my grandpa, then I might as well say you are the


    one who killed your own grandpal


    At this point, a furious voice chimed in. It was from ire who couldn’t tolerate it anymore.


    G


    Benjamin, of course, had no evidence. Otherwise, he would have presented it already. Confronted


    by ire’s aggressive questioning, he was rendered speechless.


    This was the guilt of a wrongdoer.


    “Evidence? It’s clear that Mr. Emerson Palmer and my two disciples were killed by Denton. What


    more evidence is needed?” However, at this moment, a chilling voice, intimidating and piercing,


    resonated. It was Lawrence.


    A chill ran down everyone’s spine. They thought, “Was Lawrence trying to bully his way through,


    indiscriminatelybeling Denton as the murderer?”
