The Strongest Warrior’s Revenge

Chapter 14

Gavin let out a low growl tinged with anger.

The sudden commotion appeared to take Peter by surprise and rouse a group of onlookers from their shock, who had been initially stunned by the event.

However, when they all came back to their senses, they were met with unexpected sight.

The most affluent individual in Brookspring, Vincent, went to great lengths as he knelt down and crawled on all fours, steadily progressing toward the office.

He was literally groveling on all fours.

This peculiar sight left the onlookers, who had just come back to their senses, plunged into a state of absolute bewilderment

once more.

Within the confines of the office, the sole occupants were Gavin, who was comfortably settled in a plush sofa chair, Zoe, and Vincent, the wealthiest tycoon in Brookspring, who was now down on one knee, prostrated on the floor.

Devoid of any need for Gavin to verbalize a single word, Vincent let out a resounding cry. His voice choked with tears as he uttered.

“Master, I have sinned!”

Gavin’s eyes remained impassive as he slightly squinted them, fixing his gaze upon Vincent before inquiring with deliberate

slowness.

“What is your sin?”

With a thunderous thud, Vincent pounded his head forcefully against the ground, sobbing inconsolably.

“Master!

“Through your benevolent favor, I managed to achieve unparalleled success in the realm of commerce and emerged as the most affluent individual in all of Brookspring.

“However, I failed to unravel the murder case concerning the Clifford family that happened 10 years ago.

“At that time, I was out of the country, participating in an international summit abroad. I only caught wind of the Clifford family tragedy when it was already too late. I made a mad dash back without a moment’s pause, but…

“Thud!”

Another resounding thud reverberated through the air as Vincent’s head collided with the ground once again, all the while uttering his remorseful words to Gavin.

“I have sinned, Master. You have the authority to inflict punishment upon me, and even if it leads to my demise, I shall not put up any resistance!”

“Thud” His head made contact with the ground once more.

And this time resulted in a small rivulet of blood trickling from his forehead.

Nevertheless, he didn’t cease and continued to prostrate himself before Gavin frantically.

After a few repetitions, Vincent’s visage was almost concealed by the crimson hue of his own blood, when Gavin’s voice finally broke the silence.

“Enough.”

Subsequently, Gavin turned his gaze toward Zoe, and Zoe promptly comprehended his intention, hastening to approach. and gripping Vincent’s shoulders.

She said, “Alright, my brother says that you can rise to your feet now.”

“I… I won’t get up. I have…”

Vincent attempted to say something more, but Gavin’s voice intervened once more.

“Get up now!”

Gavin’s stern directive caused Vincent’s entire body to quiver with trepidation.

He promptly rose to his feet.

However, owing to his previous crazy behaviors and the suddenness of his ascent, a disorienting sensation of vertigo overwhelmed him, and he came perilously close to toppling back to the ground.

Gavin skillfully extended his right foot, and the next second, almost miraculously, a chair slid beneath Vincent’s rear end. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

“Pfft!” Vincent alighted upon the chair, narrowly avoiding a tumble to the floor.

“Thank you very much, Master…”

Gavin let out a sigh, casting his gaze upon Vincent.

He knew all too well that the murder case about the Clifford family was not Vincent’s fault.

Ten years ago, when he had led the Frostpeak Dark Warriors to Sunspire, the Clifford family had been attacked.

Before they had taken any action, they, of course, were thoroughly prepared.

They would unquestionably dismiss those with authority, connections to the Clifford family, and, most crucially, ties to him.

Thus, Vincent had been lured away and hadn’t been able to accomplish much for the Clifford family at that point.

Gavin fixed his gaze upon Vincent, whose countenance was streaked with blood, and subtly shook his head. Then, he delicately elevated the middle finger of his right hand.

With a sharp, piercing resonance, a cold, glinting radiance suddenly emanated.

A silver needle abruptly materialized right in the midst of Vincent’s forehead.

Following that, Gavin’s right hand executed a graceful, enigmatic maneuver, and the silver needle was inexplicably retracted by Gavin.

Gavin then said to Vincent.

“Alright, wipe the blood from your face.”

Vincent hastened to employ his sleeve to cleanse the blood from his face and realized that his forehead had, as if by some miracle, ceased bleeding.

In the brief span of Gavin’s finger movements, not only had the bleeding from his forehead ceased, but the lightheadedness. plaguing him had also considerably abated.

Gavin undeniably lived up to his illustrious reputation as a Master.

Vincent’s gaze fixed upon Gavin conveyed a profound sense of admiration and resoluteness.

agam

“After all these years, have you unearthed any information concerning the Clifford family?”

Vincent’s face contorted in pain.

“No.”

Worried about Gavin’s anger, he then quickly added.

“Master, back then, those individuals were meticulously prepared and shrouded in remarkable secrecy. They managed to cover their tracks completely. It appears that only those directly involved possess any knowledge of the matter.

“Nevertheless, Master, it has come to my attention that the Taylor family in Brookspring declined their invitation to partake in the assault against the Clifford family in the past. They may possess a wealth of pertinent information.”

The Taylor family!

This was the same intelligence that Samuel had previously shared.

It was astounding that someone as capable as Vincent had been unable to unearth any information.

No wonder Samuel had been taken aback to see Gavin suddenly appear in the Harper family, harboring suspicions of a possible betrayal by the Taylor family.

It seemed that it was really necessary for him to meet his fiancee 10 years ago, Layla.

Gavin nodded his head slightly, replying, “Very well, I understand.”

Vincent then immediately spoke.

“Now that you’ve come back, Master, do you still have control over any available resources after the unfortunate demise of the Clifford family?

“Would you like to reclaim the Horizon Group I hold in my hands?”

The Horizon Group was the foremost conglomerate in Brookspring and held a preeminent position in the entirety of Riverrun. Thanks to this conglomerate, Vincent had amassed considerable wealth, becoming the wealthiest individual in Brookspring.

However, Gavin gazed at Vincent and replied.

“Why would I need your Horizon Group?”

Vincent quickly chimed in.

“Master, the Horizon Group originally falls under your ownership. I’ve simply been overseeing its operations on your

behalf.”

Gavin shook his head slowly and said.

“Then, please continue to oversee its management on my behalf.”

After saying that, Gavin rose from his seat and walked over to Vincent, gently patting his shoulder.

Gavin said, “Keep a close eye on the Horizon Group for me. I’ll reach out if I require any assistance.”

After uttering these words, Gavin turned around and was about to leave with his sister.

Vincent hurriedly rose to his feet and inquired.

“Master, may I accompany you as you depart?”

Gavin responded, “There’s no necessity.”

At the same time, Isaac angrily stormed out of the Aurora Plaza, hopped into his car, and hastily sped away, seething with infuriation.

Claire, from the Dawson family, clung gently to Isaac’s neck at this time..

Then, she sobbed softly.

Isaac cast a questioning gaze in her direction, inquiring, “Why are you crying, Claire?”

Claire responded with remorse, her tone heavy with guilt.

“Isaac, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. Were it not for me, you wouldn’t have been on the receiving end of that humiliating slap.”.

Unquestionably, Claire’s words only exacerbated the situation.

Wasn’t she apprehensive that her words might further incite Isaac’s wrath?

Isaac indeed seethed with anger, yet he had no more physical energy to let Claire help him vent his anger.

Instead, he clenched his fist and said.

“Isn’t Vincent supposed to be overseeing a pivotal bidding conference for Horizon Group in Brookspring today? I’ve heard it’s a project of monumental value, totaling 600 million dollars, a cornerstone initiative for Horizon Group in the first half of the year.

“Why would he suddenly appear when he should be busy with the conference?”

Isaac had long heard about the bidding conference for Horizon Group today, and he couldn’t figure out why Vincent suddenly appeared.

Isaac, despite his doubts, still couldn’t escape the lingering sting of the slap on his face.

“Vincent! That old rascal, how dare he raise a hand against me?

“I’ll talk to my dad about this!”
