Making 178


    Upon hearing that the elder Mr. Carter could seek assistance from the Star Gate of Sword


    Mountain, the worry on the faces of ire, Christine, and Mr. and Mrs. Foster visibly diminished,


    Denton looked at Christopher, who had volunteered to take on the mission, and nodded,


    “Christopher, this journey is vital for the survival of the Carter family.


    “Once you arrive at Sword Mountain, seek out my former master, who is now the Third Presbyter of


    the Star Gate. You must ask him for assistance.


    “Dad, rest assured, I’ll do whatever it takes to bring back help from the Star Gate for our family,”


    Christopher dered with resolve.


    “Sword Mountain is in Cloud Province of Oakhaven, a good thousand miles from Jerom Province.


    Time is of the essence. You should catch the midnight flight tonight, Denton advised.


    Christopher nodded in agreement.


    Miranda rose from the sofa, “I’ll go upstairs and pack your bags,


    ire chimed in, “Mom, let me help you


    Miranda smiled at her daughter, and together, they headed upstairs.


    With a potential solution to the Carter family crisis in sight, the mood lightened among both the


    Carter and Foster family members.


    Denton began to warn David and his wife, “Even though Lawrence and the ck Hawks are


    primarily targeting the Carter


    rtives. family, you all are still my


    They might seek revenge against you too. In the days toe, be extra cautious.


    “Perhaps find a safer and more secluded ce toy low for a while.”


    David nodded, “Don’t worry, Dad. We’ll be on our guard.”


    As Gilmore observed the Carters and the Fosters making meticulous ns for the impending crisis.


    Although he could tell them that he could easily solve all the crises of the Carter family.


    But that would reveal the extent of his capabilities.


    And if they were to question him about the source of his immense strength, he couldn’t very well tell


    them about a mysterious elderly man he met on the roadside who had given him a magical pill.


    And then, after consuming it, he transformed into an individual of astonishing power.


    If he were to share this story, they’d probably not believe him, and might even question his sanity.


    Thus, Gilmore chose to remain silent, merely observing as they discussed their ns.


    After all, with his unique God’s Eye, he already knew when and how Lawrence, Norman, and the


    reinforcements Lawrence called from the ck Hawks would attack the Carter family.


    When the time came, all he needed to do was to don a masked disguise and eliminate these


    ambitious foes.


    This way, he could help the Carter family and keep his identity and capabilities concealed,


    Soon, ire and Miranda returned from upstairs. Holding a suitcase, Miranda approached


    Christopher and said with gentle concern, “Christopher, be cautious in Cloud Province. ire and I


    will be waiting for your return.”


    Christopher took the suitcase handle from his wife and nodded, “Make sure you take care of dad


    and ire here. Don’t let anything happen to them.”


    Miranda nodded in acknowledgment.


    Turning to his father, who was seated on the sofa, Christopher said, “Dad, I’m heading to the


    airport.”


    However, Denton stopped him, “When you go to Sword Mountain to seek help from my mentor, you


    can’t go empty- handed. There’s something you must take with you.”


    Christopher assured him, “Don’t worry, Dad. Once I’m in Cloud Province, I’ll buy suitable gifts


    before going to meet the Star Gate on Sword Mountain.”


    But Denton smiled and waved his hand dismissively. There’s no need for that.”


    Christopher looked confused, “No need for gifts?”


    This puzzled not just Christopher, but also David, his wife, and Miranda.


    At that moment, Denton pulled out a checkbook from his pocket, took a pen from the table, and


    quickly wrote down a series of numbers.


    After finishing, he tore out the check and handed it to Christopher, saying, “Give this check to my


    mentor. Tell him it’s a small token from his disciple, showing gratitude for all the years of guidance.”


    Christopher looked at the check, which had a sum of 20,000,000, and couldn’t help but say, “No


    wonder you told me not to buy any gifts, Dad. You wanted me to give a check of 20 million dors to


    the Star Gate.”


    “With this 20 million dors,bined with the bond 1 share with the Star Gate, I believe they’ll


    assist the Carter family.” Denton remarked.


    Christopher nodded, “Understood, Dad.”


    “Denton, instruct a few of our estate’s strongest experts to apany Christopher to Cloud


    Province, Denton directed Stephen.


    Stephen acknowledged with a nod.


    Then, Christopher followed Stephen outside.


    Denton, ire, David and his wife Christine, as well as Gilmore, all walked them out of the


    mansion.


    A bodyguard loaded Christopher’s suitcase into the trunk of a Mercedes.


    After bidding farewell to his family, Christopher got into the car.


    The four handpicked experts from the estate also settled into the vehicle.


    The Mercedes then drove away under the watchful eyes of the family.


    Three dayster, at the Weston family estate.


    Early in the morning, three luxury cars drove into the estate and stopped in front of an opulent vi


    Norman, Thomas, and Lawrence, along with his son Clive, were already waiting outside.


    It seemed as if someone of great importance was about to visit the Weston estate.

    86%)


    After three days of rest and using imported medicinal treatments, Lawrence had nearly recovered


    from his internal injuries.


    His face regained its natural color, his eyes sharp, radiating the aira of an internal force martialist.


    As soon as the cars stopped, several bodyguards immediately opened the doors.


    Out stepped around a dozen men in their forties and fifties. Some–were bald, others had unkempt


    hair, and while some had square faces withrge ears, others had pointy faces with pronounced


    cheeks.


    Their heights, builds, and appearances varied widely, but one thing wasmon among them they


    all wore traditional robes. ·


    “Senior!” As they disembarked, their faces lit up with joy upon seeing Lawrence, and they eximed


    in unison.


    Indeed, these robed men who had just gotten out of the cars were Lawrence’s junior disciples from


    the ck Hawks


    They were also the reinforcements Lawrence had summoned from the ck Hawks.


    “Junior brothers, it’s great to see you all here finally!” Lawrence eximed with a face full of joy.


    “When senior is in trouble, of course, we’de


    “Someone dared to hurt my senior? We’vee here to skin them alive.”


    “Senior, we should find the people and take their head to avenge you


    The dozen masters in forearm block from the ck Hawks looked ferocious, their eyes cold and


    threatening, all eager to avenge Lawrence.


    A hint of cold amusement shed across Lawrence’s face, “Easy, junior brothers. Let’s rest up,


    have a good meal, and tonight, we’ll deal with them.”


    “Of course, we’ll follow your lead, senior!” The experts cheered in unison.


    “Clive, haven’t you greeted your seniors yet?‘ Lawrence chastised the young man next to him.


    Clive quickly paid his respects to Lawrence’s disciples.


    Lawrence then introduced Norman to his disciples.


    Norman returned the gesture, offering greetings of his own.


    Then, with courteous gestures, he and Thomas, led the group of ck Hawks experts into the vi.
