His Lordship Alexander Kane

Frank’s words echoed in Vince’s ears and heart like a roaring thunder. The rise of the New Chesire Group, the death of Mister Hardy, and the demise of many forces—events in the past year in Ol’ Mare unfolded like a rapidly spinning carousel.

Hearing Frank’s words, a glint quickly flashed before Vince’s eyes.

His second son was killed, the nine Grandmasters perished, and the three major families declined -much like the fate of those forces In Ol‘ Mare. Anyone who crossed paths with Alexander inevitably spiraled into decline until complete obliteration.

On the contrary, forces that allied with Alexander swiftly thrived, and the Saunders family was the best example.

“Face reality and apologize to Alexander...” Vince dropped the rattan cane in his hand with a snap, muttering to himself. His countenance seemed to age a dozen years in an instant, and the veins on the back of his hand trembled slightly.

Was all this truly because they offended Alexander? Frank’s words made sense, or rather, it was a harsh reality. The only one capable of orchestrating all this was Alexander.

“Frank.” Vince took a few steps forward, placing his hand on Frank’s shoulder. His voice became hoarse instantly. “You... See to it, then. Whether in Ol Mare or Zabaleta, find Alexander and say it was my decision. We'll apologize, make amends.

“As long as he’s willing to let bygones be bygones, the Redwine family is willing to pay any price.”

Frank knelt and bowed to Vince three times before standing up with determination on his face. Even if it meant sacrificing their dignity, they must seek Alexander’s forgiveness—for the sake of the Redwine family and, above all, for themselves.

“Dad!” Frank had just left when Dallas climbed up from the ground.

Enduring the pain on his back, he shook his head repeatedly. “You can’t let Frank go to Alexander! If we submit to Alexander, how can we stand firm in the North in the future?

“Trust me, we'll spare no effort to confront Alexander! As long as we conquer OI Mare, control Zabaleta, and secure the resources of the two cities, we can become one of the four major powerhouses! You-”

Smack!

Vince, furious, picked up the rattan cane from the ground and fiercely lashed it across Dallas’ face. 142:

“Dallas!” He glared at his eldest son, his steel teeth almost grinding in anger. “Haven’t you done enough harm to the Redwine family?! Daring as you are, you’re reckless and audacious! If Alexander refuses to calm down, do you know what the consequences will be for the Redwine family?”

With that said, a whip struck, lashing Dallas until he cried out for his parents. Then, he strode out. of the hall, shouting, “Men!

“Expel Dallas from the Redwine family! Remove him from the family records, strip him of the family name, never to return for a lifetime!”

Four burly men rushed in, paying no heed to Dallas‘ pleas, and unceremoniously threw him far onto the ground outside the Redwine family estate.

The gates closed, severing all of Dallas‘ hopes completely.

About half a month later, in Zabaleta, the New Chesire Group’s newly established branch.

“Alexander.”

In the CEO's office, Amber glanced down at the electronic documents sent by the company headquarters, then looked at the

surveillance cameras in the lobby. She sighed helplessly as she smiled at Alexander on the sofa. “Frank Redwine of the Redwine family is causing trouble again.”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

She had not been involved in the matter of the nine Grandmasters. It was Roslyn who informed her afterward. Due to this, Roslyn and Amber became closer, and she introduced many clients from Zabaleta, making the branch’s development exceptionally smooth.

“He’s been kneeling in the lobby for half a month straight; he’s quite persistent.”

Alexander left the sofa and walked up behind Amber. He glanced at the kneeling Frank in the lobby and reached out to touch his wife’s pretty face. He smiled and asked, “Amber, do you want the Redwine family to disappear forever?”

Amber blushed slightly. She held Alexander’s hand and softly said. “I'll follow your lead in everything. Before you decide, though, why not listen to what Frank has to say?” Amber remained as kind as ever, clearly not wanting to be too ruthless.

Feeling the warmth of his wife’s soft hand, Alexander nodded gently. “Alright.”
