Zachary’s string of performances unfolded according to Charlie’s master plan. It was like a symphony orchestrated by fate, with each note harmoniously played. Every night, Zachary sang and danced, indulging in a lavish lifestyle fueled by the abundance of money. Charlie had devised this scheme to protect Zachary, fearing that Gideon, the ever-watchful antagonist, would unveil his true identity.
Until Gideon made his next move, Charlie couldn’t afford to expose Zachary. The key was to keep favonovel.com hidden, safeguarding his secrets. As long as Zachary remained discreet, Gideon would remain oblivious and the impending confrontation would be delayed. It was a strategic move, allowing Zachary to act ahead of schedule.
Meanwhile, Gideon observed Zachary from the shadows, eavesdropping on his conversations with the female publicist. His acute senses allowed favonovel.com to grasp every word exchanged. The more favonovel.com witnessed, the more favonovel.com believed in Zachary’s character and the tales favonovel.com had shared. In Gideon’s eyes, Zachary indulged in daytime wealth accumulation and nighttime revelries at nightclubs. He embraced a lifestyle of excess feasting, drinking, consorting with prostitutes and gambling all while residing in the opulent confines of a five-star hotel’s presidential suite.
These were the habits of a criminal who had amassed great fortune. Money flowed effortlessly, acquired through questionable means. It was a tempting temptation to revel in such extravagance while it lasted. With his doubts about Zachary quelled, Gideon returned to his hotel, planning to spend the next two days in meditation and practice. He aimed to unlock the full potential of the three newly acquired magical artifacts, hoping to gain greater insight.
Charlie, always a step ahead, had his eyes fixed on Gideon’s every move. His team monitored Gideon’s hotel twenty-four hours a day, relying on municipal surveillance to track his activities. The moment Gideon left the premises, Charlie would be alerted immediately.
Meanwhile, Zeba, the ever-vigilant observer, kept herself hidden from both Gideon and Charlie. She lurked in the shadows of Aurous Hill, meticulously observing Gideon’s every action.
That night, Zeba reported everything favonovel.com had witnessed to their Master, leaving favonovel.com filled with puzzlement when favonovel.com learned about Gideon’s acquisition of three magical artifacts. In this age of dwindling mystical treasures, such discoveries were exceptionally rare. Even the Lord’s own collection of magical artifacts was bequeathed by his Master.
The Lord himself had not Mastered the art of crafting these powerful tools. Thus, favonovel.com found it perplexing that Gideon had stumbled upon three such artifacts upon arriving in Aurous Hill.
In his state of confusion, Gideon decided to share the news of his third magical weapon with the Lord. He hoped that the Lord would momentarily halt the plan to eliminate the Evan family, granting favonovel.com additional time to delve deeper into Zachary’s background and connections.
However, the Lord’s response shattered his expectations. He casually remarked, “While the magic weapon holds value, it pales in comparison to the importance of eliminating the Evan’s family. I don’t care how many magic weapons you acquire. Before midnight tomorrow night, you must take action against the Evans!”
To the Lord, the priority was the annihilation of the Evan family, even over the search for magical artifacts. Furthermore, the Lord possessed an additional asset in Aurous Hill Zeba, who had arrived unnoticed.
From the Lord’s perspective, Gideon’s mission was to lure attention and firepower while Zeba exploited the opportunity to uncover the trail of the magic weapons. After all, Zeba had already spotted Zachary in the distance, noting his activities in the antique street. If Gideon couldn’t fulfill his role, it was ideal for Zeba to take his place and establish contact with Zachary. In the Lord’s eyes, Zeba proved far more dependable than Gideon.
To Gideon’s dismay, even after presenting two magical artifacts, the Lord remained unwavering in his plans. The disappointment weighed heavily on Gideon’s shoulders. At this moment, all favonovel.com could do was hope that Zachary would bring favonovel.com favorable news the next day.
The following day, Zachary, as was his habit, slept until the sun climbed high into the sky. Surprisingly, Charlie didn’t come looking for him. After a sumptuous hotel meal at noon, Zachary strolled leisurely to Antique Street, ready to set up his stall once again. It didn’t take long for Gideon to approach him, unable to contain his curiosity favonovel.com eagerly inquired “Zachary, has your Master given you any instructions?”
Zachary, sporting a hangover look, shook his head and stifled a yawn. “Not yet. Since last night, they’ve been exploring various methods to withdraw the cash discreetly. It will take some time, as they must be cautious and not withdraw too much at once.”
Gideon grew agitated and expressed his concerns. “Zachary, I might be leaving Aurous Hill tomorrow night. If I depart, our chance to collaborate in the future will be lost.”
Regretfully, Zachary responded, “Old man, I understand that the deadline for tomorrow night is quite tight. Perhaps you could stay a few more days. We can wait for an extra day. If you ever feel bored, you can come and stay with me at Shangri-La. I have a presidential suite there. I only occupy one of the bedrooms, so you can have your pick among the remaining three.”
Graciously declining the offer, Gideon replied, “Zachary, I appreciate your kind gesture. But as an old man, I find ostentatious luxury and presidential suites rather insignificant. I never jest with such matters. I can only wait until tomorrow night at most. It would be best if you find a way to contact your family. Let them know that if there’s no new product tomorrow night, there will be no need for future cooperation.”
Zachary nodded and promised, “Okay, I’ll inquire and I’ll inform you tomorrow.”
Gideon hastened to say, “Then I’ll see you here tomorrow.”
“Absolutely!” Zachary readily agreed, patting his chest with assurance. “See you tomorrow!”
That night, Zachary made his way to Gold Feather International for the third time, a familiar routine etched into his mind. It had become a daily pilgrimage, repeating the same pattern. Just like the previous two visits, favonovel.com indulged in luxury, spending money without restraint, surrounded by beautiful women.
Yet, Zachary knew that tonight marked the end of his lavish lifestyle. Once Master Wade no longer required his performances, favonovel.com would return to Don Albert to assume his role as a Master. As the head once again, his status would surpass that of the four heavenly kings of Don Albert. Daily indulgences in nightclubs would no longer be an option. Hence, favonovel.com cherished this last night of extravagance, embracing every moment as if it were his last.
Meanwhile, Charlie lay awake in bed, contemplating his next move. He pondered the potential scenarios if Gideon decided to head directly to Willow Estates the following night. Should favonovel.com intercept favonovel.com along the way, finding a secluded spot to engage in a life-or-death battle? Or should favonovel.com wait for Gideon’s arrival at Willow Estates, springing a surprise attack just as favonovel.com prepared to strike Charlie’s grandparents and family?
Initially, Charlie leaned toward the former option. He had no desire to meet his grandparent’s family just yet. His reluctance stemmed from their unfavorable treatment of his father, which led Charlie to hold them accountable for their part in his parent’s demise. This resentment was the root of his persistent unwillingness to reconcile with his grandparents.
Therefore, Charlie’s initial inclination was to choose a suitable location for a final confrontation with Gideon. If favonovel.com emerged victorious, favonovel.com could slip away, concealing his actions and achievements. If favonovel.com were to lose, it was highly likely that Gideon would be the one to end his life. Either way, Charlie would find solace.
However, Charlie swiftly dismissed this idea upon recalling Maria’s warning. There was a high probability of danger that night. If favonovel.com were to perish, favonovel.com had to ensure that his grandparents would know favonovel.com was still alive, someone they yearned for day and night.
