Making 228
Dozens of vehicles, like a long dragon, parked in front of the main vi
One by one, martialists from de Gate descended from the cars.
In a short span, the area in front of the mansion, which resemble arge za, was filled with
nearly a hundred martialists
from de Gate.
They lined up neatly, exuding the discipline and rigor of soldiers.
Their presence was overpowering.
It could be said that de Gate had mobilized all its martialists this time.
A few apprentices from de Gate then opened the door of a stretch Rolls–Royce.
An authoritative man in his fifties stepped out. He had amanding appearance, with piercing
eyes and an aura as imposing as a mountain.
This man was the leader of de Gate, named Victor Ger.
Following closely behind him were four elderly men in white robes.

The leader among them, with white hair and eyebrows and a face wrinkled like pine bark, had
particrly sharp eyes
He was the Senior Presbyter of de Gate, Travis, and also the patriarch of the Wyatt family.
The three other white–robed elders were the second, third, and fourth presbyter of de Gate.
However,pared to Victor and Travis, their aura was significantly less intimidating.
At this moment, James, who had also descended from the cart respectfully gestured to Victor,
saying, “Leader, please.”
Victor nodded slightly.
Following James Wyatt’s lead, Victor, Travis, and the other three presbyters entered the main vi.
From inside the mansion, about thirty feet away, Juline showed a hint of surprise on her face. “I
didn’t expect my father, the four presbyters, and all of de Gate’s martialists toe,” she
remarked.
She then looked at Gilmore, a hint of confusion in her eyes. “But why would so many of theme
just to search the valley where we fell for our bodies?”
But wasn’t this a bit too much of amotion just for that?
Gilmore chuckled, “Looking for our ‘bodies‘ is one thing.
“The main goal, I believe, is to settle scores with the Field family
“Settle scores with the Field family? What do they have to do with all this?”
“At first, nothing. But with James fanning the mes, now they’re implicated.”
Upon hearing this, Juline remembered James, who had just descended from the de Gate’s
convoy.
This indicated that he had been to the de Gatest night and informed them about the death of
Karl and their plunge into the abyss
Mon, Sep
“So, how would James stir things up? And what’s in it for him?” Judine inquired.
Gilmore exined, “After finding out that his son was killed by thest night, he’s undoubtedly
burning with rage.
“But hearing that 1, along with you, jumped into the abyss, he likely believes I’m dead.
“Thus, he loses his target for revenge.
54%
“Moreover, not only is his son dead, but ‘you‘ also ‘died‘ alongside me in the fall, a significant event
that he has to report to your father.
“Yet, considering that James had stabbed you before the fall, the Wyatt family can’t escape their
responsibility.
“To divert me and push your ‘death‘ onto someone else, he chose the Field family.
“He might argue that the Field family kidnapped you to threaten the Wyatt family into giving up the
CBD project bid. In trying to save you, Karl met his end at my hands.”
“Cornered by de Gate’s martialists, I had no choice but to drag you down the cliff with me in a
suicidal act
“This narrative makes the Field family the main culprits, exonerating the Wyatt family. And then,
they can leverage de Gate to take out the Field family.”
Having God’s Eye, Gilmore knew clearly everything James did at de Gatest night.
Listening to Gilmore, shock registered on Juline’s face. “If that’s true, then James is truly
despicable.”
“If my suspicions are correct, with all of de Gate’s martialists out in force, including the leader
and the presbyters, they’re about tounch an attack on the Field family,” Gilmore said gravely.
Juline looked at him, remarking, “Aren’t you Helene’s boyfriend? Why haven’t you warned the Field
family!”
Gilmore detected a hint of jealousy in her voice.
“Juline, I am Helene’s boyfriend, but I’m also yours. Right now, I’m here with you, and of course, 1
should be by your side, he said, gazing at her earnestly.
Juline gave Gilmore’s arm a yful twist, eximing. “Gilmore, are you trying to y both sides?
“Are you toying with both Helene’s and my feelings?”
Gilmore raised his hand in a vow, “I promise I’m not ying games with either of you.
“I swear to God that my feelings for you are genuine. I would never let you down!”
“And what about Helene?” Juline’s anger seemed to subside a bit after hearing his promise.
“Do you want me to break up with her?” Gilmore questioned.
Juline nodded instantly. “Yes, I want you to be devoted only to me.”
“But she’s been my girlfriend longer than you. Isn’t that unfair?”
“Gilmore, are you choosing her over me?”
Juline, think about it. If Helene asked me to leave you, would you agree?”
“No,” Juline responded with an immediate frown.

Gilmore continued, “Exactly, If you wouldn’t agree, how could Helene? It’s the principle of treating
others as you’d like to treated.
“If you don’t ask me to leave Helene, and if Helene wanted me to leave you, I could refuse.
“This way, both of you can be with me. Doesn’t that sound great? No one loses anyone, and
everyone’s happy.
Juline retorted, “In your dreams! You think I don’t see through you? You just want to have your cake
and eat it too!” Clearly, Gilmore’s sweet talk hadn’t clouded her judgment.
She yfully grabbed his ear, dering. “One day, I’ll make sure you’re only mine.”
Gilmore replied nonchntly, “If you want to have me all to yourself, you’ll have to prove it. Can you
win against Helene, or will you end up t on your face?”
Juline, clearly provoked by Gilmore’s words, retorted, “Alright then, just you wait and see who’ll end
up as your
Gilmore thought to himself, “Do I even need to wait?
“The answer is both Juline and Helene. I’ll marry both of them.
However, he kept these thoughts to himself.
wife.
While Gilmore and Juline were yfully bantering, another vis living room was host to a more
serious discussion James, alongside Victor and Travis, had already taken their seats.
As servants poured coffee, James gestured for them to leave, leaving only the core members of the
conversation.
The atmosphere was tense and heavy.
Victor’s eyes sparkled with determination as he spoke, “I never thought the Field family would stoop
so low. Using my daughter Juline as a pawn to force the Wyatt family to back out of the CBD project
bid.
“And now, not only can’t we find my daughter’s body, but they also killed Karl!
“The de Gate must make the Field family pay in blood for what they’ve done!”
Travis, with a voice as booming as thunder, said with authority, “Leader, we must strike the Field
family with lightning speed before Star Gate even gets a whiff of our ns.”
The other presbyters chimed in, “Leader and Senior Presbyter are absolutely right. We must act
swiftly and eradicate the Field family before Star Cate has a chance toe to their aid,
“Hands off the Field family! Just then, a sharp female voice rang out from the entrance of the vi.
