Making 283
Nigh
After dinner, Graham and Helene were sitting on the sofa in the living room, drinking coffee.
“Helene, did Gilmore return to Oakhaven again?” Graham asked when he noticed the somber look
on Helene’s face.
It was the butler, Murdoch, who told him that Gilmore had returned to Oakhaven.
Helene nodded gently. “Yes, he went back to Oakhaven.”
Graham said, “Well, Helene, Gilmore is a young talent with tens of billions of dors. There must be
a lot of rich youngdies eyeing him.
You must hold on tightly to Gilmore and prevent other young women from wealthy and influential
families from taking him away.”
Helene pouted and expressed with a hint of grievance, “I wish he could stay by my side all the time,
but he’s incredibly busy now. What can I do?”
Graham smiled. “It’s alright. You u just need to find the right time to get Gilmore to agree to an
engagement with you.
“If you be his fiancée, those other young women from wealthy and influential families won’t
stand a chance at snatching him away.”
An engagement!
Helene looked at her father in surprise.
She did not expect her father to be even more anxious than her
However, if she really got engaged to Gilmore, she would have no objections.
On the contrary, she was more than willing.
Thinking of this, Helene blushed shyly.
Seeing this, Graham undoubtedly grasped his daughter’s sentiments.
He said to Helene. “If you’re too embarrassed to talk to him, let me talk to him.
“I don’t believe that he wouldn’t want to get engaged to you just based on the current state of yo
your rtionship.”
Graham still remained observant and wise. He was well aware of the deep bond between Gilmore
and Helene, he only pretended not to know,
Helene immediately stopped her father. “Dad, don’t bring it up to him. If I do that, it’ll make it seem
like I’m undateable, you know?
Grahamughed. “Well, I won’t mention it Tell him yourself.
“I was just reminding you that if you don’t hurry up, Gilmore will be targeted by other noble young
ladies.”
Helene said awkwardly, “Dad, I see..”
Graham saw that his daughter was embarrassed, so he ceased speaking.
He knew that his daughter was a smart woman, tile would definitely understand what he mad
Once they dropped the subject of the ‘engagement the node of brawl,plete with pondon, kicks,
woda wame, epiest from outside
Gm was immed
What was going on outsider
Just as Graban and Helene were perplexed,urried footsteps apached from the door
Si, bail news Murdoch rushed in and shouted at Grabam in a pane
Graham couldn’t help but frown. He looked at Murdoch and asked, “What happenede
There’s a group of masked warriors outside engaged in a battle with our Star Gate martial artists.
These packed waron
are highly skilled, and our men are no match for them. They are falling our by one”
At this point, Murdoch anxiously said to Graham, Sir, runt Rund It must be the Suarez whosee
to get
The martial artists from the Suarez family?
Graham was surprised.
Even though the Suarez Group lost to Calmer in the battle for dares of the Davis Group’s gold mine
No matter how much Kenji hated Gilmore, it was limpossible for him to openly attack the Fields
itegrates
Furthermore, the Suarez Group had disintegrated, and Kenji was a fugitive from the police Stirring
up such major chara would not be in Kenji’s best interests.
Before he had time to think, he heard the sounds of the brawl outsidee to an abrupt halt.
Needless to say, the bande outside was over.
Then, footsteps approached one adier another.
In an instant, more than twenty men, who were covered with ck masks and only their eyes could
be seen, quickly entered. the living room
Graham and Helene couldn’t leave even if they wanted to
Although Graham was shocked, he still forced himself to calm down. He looked at the masked men
and asked, “Who are your What can I do for you?”
“I’m looking for Gilmore Reed. Where is he? A masked man stared at Graham and asked
That old man with a sharp gaze was the Crane Sect’s leader, Alexander.
Indeed, the masked experts who intruded into the Fields Manor were the leaders and Presbyters of
the six major sets of Oakhaven
They wore masks so that no one would recognize them and they could do what they needed to
without any trouble.

Graham looked at the masked Alexander and said, “Gilmore is not in the manor. He left
“Then where did he go?” Nichs, who was also masked, asked.
Graham said, “He didn’t say I don’t know”
Alexander and Nichs looked at each other. Of course, they didn’t believe what Graham said.
“Well, since you won’t tell us, we’ll take your daughter with us. You can have her back when you find
Gilmore. Right after Alexander finished speaking, he swiftly moved forward, reaching out to grab
Helene.
Helene was shocked.
Graham was equally shocked.
However, at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Helene.
As Alexander approached Helene, he noticed someone trying to intervene. Without hesitation, he
immediatelyunched an attack
Bang!
His palm struck the guy’s chest.
With a horrifying scream, the man was propelled backward.
Crashing into the living room floor, he started to vomit blood.
Only then did Helene and her father, Graham, realize that the man who tried to stop Alexander was
Murdoch, the butler. Helene immediately ran over and helped Murdoch sit up with a sorrowful
expression. “Murdoch, how are you feeling?” Murdoch shook his head at Helene, his face pale, and
said, Tm okay. You should run with Mr. Field..”
When Helene saw how badly injured Murdoch was, she felt an inciescribable pain in her heart.
She also wanted to take the injured Murdoch and leave with her father, but escaping now seemed
impossible.
“Hmph! You’re overestimating yourselves. Unless you hand over Gilmore, we’ll have to take her
away,” After uttering those words, Alexander pivoted tounch another attack on Helene.
I didn’t expect that the leaders and Presbyters of Oakhaven’s six major sects would attack a
woman. If this gets out, all the sects in Eldoria willugh at you. How shameless!” Just then, an
elderly, raspy voice filled with sarcasm abruptly sounded.
Alexander, who was in the midst of attempting to subdue Helene, halted upon hearing this.
He furrowed his brow, and anger red in his eyes. He swiftly turned his gaze toward the door.
Indeed, the raspy and elderly voice had originated from that direction.
However, he didn’t see anyone there.
Then, he shouted angrily, “Who’s there? If you have the nerve, show yourself”
“Well, here Ie.. The elderly, raspy voice resounded once more
As the voice echoed, a chilling breeze swept in through the door, carrying a swirl of sand with it. The
constant sound of sand hitting the floor in the hallway seemed never–ending.
The Sect Leaders and Presbyters in the grand hall felt an icy, spine–tingling draft rush by, making
their hair stand on end! They couldn’t help but feel nervous!
