Making 230
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 de Gate martialists in the hall andmanded, “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 nces.
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 de Gate.
A significant portion of the money the Wyatt family earns ultimately ends up enriching de Cate’s
coffers.
In many ways, the Wyatt family is a crucial source of wealth for de 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 de Gateunched theirbined 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 de 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 de 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 de 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 pir 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’lle to de Gate to find you in the
future.”
Juline nodded at Gilmore, “Alright, I’ll be waiting for you at de Gate.”
She hoped that one day when Gilmorees to de 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 rtionship with Gilmore
could gain her father’s blessing.
Just as she finished her thought, the elite martialists of de 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 de Gate martialists stopped, perplexed, their moves failing to find their mark.
“I’m here!” A voice echoed from outside the vi
The martialists turned their gazes to the vi’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 de Gate in the living room stunned, wondering what kind of
Windwalk Gilmore had employed to dodge thebined onught of so many, but also Victor,
Travis, and James disyed 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 disyed 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 vi. Joined
by the martialists outside, they swiftly and tightly encircled Gilmore.
Victor couldn’t believe that, this time, facing over a hundred de Gate martialists, Gilmore could
still escape with ease?
The eyes of Travis and James also shed 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 de Gate martialists instinctively looked towards the sound, only to see the mansion’s
tightly closed gate being smashed open by a ck 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 vi, emitting dark smoke.
Following the gate’s crash, around twenty to thirty ck 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 vi.
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 de 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 de 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’vee 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 de Gate martialists outside and Victor, Travis, and James
inside the vi utterly stunned.
Everyone thought, “Who on earth is this Gilmore?
“Why would three high–ranking presbyters from Star Gate personallye to the Wyatt family to
fetch him?”
