Chapter 15 He Is the Owner of the Zenith Mansion!

  • "Ahhhh!"
  • Arnold, who had been able to keep a cool head so far, finally broke down over the loss of his son and granddaughter.
  • He hobbled toward the sports car. "I'll kill you! I'll kill you!"
  • A bodyguard helped Cosmo out of the sports car and into a wheelchair.
  • Arnold's eyes widened as he swung his walking stick at Cosmo. "It's you! I'll kill you, Cosmo Russell!"
  • The bodyguard next to Cosmo did not hesitate to kick Arnold away.
  • "Urgh!" Arnold fell on the floor and spat out a mouthful of blood.
  • "Father!" Daryl yelled out furiously.
  • Cosmo scoffed. "Where's that Vance b*stard? Get him here for me! Two of your worthless lives aren't enough to placate my anger!"
  • Arnold and Daryl were enraged at the mention of that name!
  • "You dog! You killed my granddaughter. Even if you kill me now, I'll come back as a ghost and haunt you!"
  • "Watch your filthy mouth!"
  • Cosmo scoffed and shot a glance at his bodyguard.
  • The bodyguard walked toward Arnold, lifted his foot, and prepared to stomp the old man's head.
  • At the most critical moment, a pebble sailed across the air and struck the bodyguard's calf.
  • Crack!
  • The bodyguard's leg bone snapped into two, and he fell to the ground.
  • "Huh? Who is it?" Arnold yelled.
  • Vance appeared at the plaza.
  • Cosmo scoffed, "Heh, you've got the balls to come here alone! I'll kill you for sure!"
  • Vance sighed. "I thought I could spare your life, but if you want to die that badly, I'll grant you your wish!"
  • He walked over to Arnold, diagnosed that the old man was bleeding heavily internally, and tapped several points on his body to stop the bleeding.
  • "Where is Hazel?" Vance asked.
  • However, Arnold was furious. "Get lost! You don't have to pretend to be the good guy here! If not for you, all this wouldn't have happened to us!"
  • Even Daryl joined in. "Hazel is dead. Are you happy now?"
  • Hazel is dead? Vance was shocked by the news. "What happened?"
  • Vroom!
  • Several cars rushed over. About twenty people got out and surrounded the scene.
  • They were Cosmo's men.
  • Cosmo became more brazen. "Heh! Vance, I knocked Hazel over the cliff just now! How about this? If you jump down the cliff now, I won't care if you live or die. Otherwise, you'll die a prolonged and painful death!"
  • What? Did she fall down the cliff?
  • Vance's eyes widened. Without hesitating, he ran to the cliff and jumped down.
  • That girl with the sweet smile… That girl who cares for me even though she's in danger… That strong, bone-headed girl who won't shed a tear… I hope I can still save her!
  • "You coward!" Arnold yelled, not expecting Vance to jump down the cliff instead of staying back to protect him and Daryl.
  • Cosmo lit up a cigar, wheeled himself over in front of Arnold, and blew smoke into his face.
  • "It's your turn now. I'll let you choose how you want to die."
  • "Stop it, Cosmo Russell! I'm friends with Ferdinand Krauss of Krauss Corporation!" Daryl roared angrily. "I'll give him a call now. If you dare lay a finger on my father, Ferdinand will not let you go!"
  • "Hahaha!" Cosmo burst out laughing. "Call him if you want! If he dares to come here, I'll give him a spanking he won't forget."
  • Daryl instantly dialed Ferdinand's number. "Help us, Mr. Krauss! Someone killed Hazel, and Father and I are about to die…"
  • Ferdinand was very cooperative. He arrived at the scene in less than ten minutes.
  • Arnold and Daryl were relieved. Unlike Vance, who saved his own skin by jumping off the cliff, Ferdinand was willing to help them.
  • When Ferdinand stepped out of his car, the gravity of the situation nearly made him wet his pants.
  • D*mn you, Daryl Sullivan! Do you actually think I can help you against Cosmo Russell? I can't do anything even if there's ten of me!
  • On other days he would have left the scene straight away, but he was after the Sullivan family fortune, so he had no choice but to confront Cosmo.
  • "Mr. Russell, it's surely their fault for offending you. Can you please spare them this time, and I'll make it up…" Ferdinand said slavishly.
  • Slap!
  • Cosmo slapped Ferdinand without hesitation. "Who the f*ck do you think you are to tell me what to do? Even your father can't tell me what to do?"
  • "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
  • To save his own skin, Ferdinand could only nod and apologize. He turned to look at Daryl and shook his head, indicating that there was nothing he could do.
  • "Ferdie, why don't you give a call to Lord Tigre? He'll definitely help you. Do you remember that time when Lord Tigre showed up at my father's birthday party with a coffin? He left right after you showed up."
  • Ah, yes, of course!
  • "Yes, I'll call him now!" Ferdinand took out his phone, dialed Tigre's number, and put him on speaker.
  • Tigre? Even Cosmo frowned when he heard that name.
  • "Who's this?" Tigre said coldly.
  • "Come over to the Zenith Mansion, Tigre. We're in danger," Ferdinand said.
  • Tigre was confused. "Who are you?"
  • "I'm Ferdinand Krauss from Krauss Corporation. We met at the Sullivan family residence before."
  • "Krauss Corporation? Did I get that right? Who the heck do you think you are to give me orders? You said your name is Ferdinand, right? I'll You'd better watch out!"
  • Wait, what? Lord Tigre isn't afraid of Ferdinand at all?
  • Ferdinand, Arnold, and Daryl were dumbfounded.
  • Don't tell me… Lord Tigre left not because of Ferdinand but Vance? But he's only an ex-con!
  • Cosmo chuckled. "D*mn, I really thought you actually knew Tigre! Hey, Tigre, these people are bullying me. You have to help me, man."
  • Tigre was furious. "Who the f*ck dares to bully Mr. Russell? They must have a death wish!"
  • Arnold and Daryl sank further into despair.
  • Ferdinand's arrival did not help them at all. Instead, he brought them more trouble.
  • The Sullivan family was ruined for sure!
  • Arnold inadvertently caught a glimpse of the Zenith Mansion and his eyes widened!
  • Right, how could I forget our strongest ally? My future son-in-law is the owner of the Zenith Mansion! He'll help the Sullivan family out of this crisis and into prosperity!
  • Arnold summoned the last of his strength and walked up to the front door of the Zenith Mansion. He knocked on the door, unsure of what he would expect.
  • In Zenith Mansion, Vance was treating Hazel's injuries.
  • He had not jumped down the cliff earlier. Instead, he had clung onto the cliff wall with his bare hands and climbed downward. That was a trivial thing to do for someone who had mastery of the covert force.
  • He found Hazel on a tree halfway down the cliff, and he brought her back to the Zenith Mansion from the balcony at the back.
  • Hazel was barely alive when Vance found her. Eighty percent of her bones were broken. Some even stuck out of the skin.
  • Her visceral cavity was filled with blood, and her internal organs had all shifted their positions.
  • Her clothes were stained red by the numerous external injuries. She could barely even breathe, and her heart occasionally stopped.
  • Vance immediately began to resuscitate her. He inserted needles into her vital points to stop her from dying, then channeled vital force to regenerate her organs. Finally, he applied miracle ointment on her skin to stop the bleeding.
  • After some time, Hazel was brought out of terminal danger.
  • On the other hand, Vance had depleted his store of vital force that he had accumulated over the past few years. He was thoroughly exhausted.
  • At that time, he heard a knock on the door.
  • Vance walked toward the front door slowly. There was nothing but murder in his eyes. The temperature of the room even fell by a few degrees by his chilling presence alone!
  • I don't want to draw blood on the day the Sullivan family recognizes me, but you forced my hand, Cosmo Russell! You have no choice but to die now!
  • He sent a message to the Avatar of War. "Send an army here. Nimbus Hills will be flattened by the time I'm done!"
  • "Yes, sir!" Was the reply from the Avatar of War.
  • The Avatar of War was still on his way to Chevron, but it was trivial for him to dispatch an army.
  • Vance opened the door.
  • "It's you, Vance!" Arnold cried out in surprise.
  • The other people also looked at Vance in shock.
  • Didn't he jump down the cliff? How can he be in the Zenith Mansion? Could he be… the owner of this place?
