Chapter 704
“Ms. Roxy Sloan, CEO of the Summit Group, has arrived!”
Following the announcement, Roxy entered Grandcrest Estate with Robert. Under the collective gaze of the crowd, she took her pre–arranged seat in the Sage’s camp.
Her expression was cold as ice, her eyes devoid of any emotion. She sat there, emitting a profound sense of distance. At that instant, her gaze locked with Eunice’s.
“Is that… Ashton’s ex–wife? She’s as beautiful as a goddess, but why is she backing the Sage?”
“Who doesn’t want their ex dead? The Sage’s birthday feast has drawn every powerhouse in the city. It’s so lively. We likely won’t see another gathering like this as long as we live.”
“With an 800 billion–dollar bet on the line, I can already feel the tension.”
“Ms. Sylvia, CEO of the Evermore Group, has arrived!”
Immediately following the announcement, Sylvia walked through the crowd with Melody. She wore a confident, radiant smile and took her seat directly across from Roxy.
The corners of Sylvia’s mouth curled upward in a provocative smirk. She looked at Roxy with a gaze that seemed to demand the other woman realize just how foolish she had been and know exactly what she had thrown away.
As the start of the Sage’s birthday banquet drew near, the crowd within Grandcrest Estate grew until people packed every corner
of the grounds.
At the very center, a massive, open space remained. It was wide enough for a life–and–death match to unfold.
“Please welcome today’s guest of honor, the legend of Javonbury, the ruler of the underworld, Mr. Vance,” an excited voice rang
out.
In an instant, every gaze turned toward the depths of the estate.
A feminine fragrance wafted through the air as the Sage appeared. He walked with a beautiful woman on each arm, with a smile
on his face.
He no longer used a cane, walking toward the center with large strides. His white hair had turned black, and the wrinkles on his
face had smoothed out.
Flint was full of energy, completely changed from his previous dying state. His eyes were sharp and imposing, radiating an overwhelming pressure.
“Is that… The Sage? Is he 80 years old? How can he look like he’s in the 50s? Are the rumours true? Do the pills from the Heavenly Medical Pavilion really reverse aging?”
“Could he have broken through to the next level? There are rumors that reaching the divine realm can extend one’s lifespan by
decades. If that’s true, he is terrifying.”
“Do you feel the aura rolling off him? With this kind of pressure, you can’t even find the courage to resist. No wonder he ruled the underworld for decades. We’ve only ever seen a fraction of his strength. With this, our bets are guaranteed. Betting on him
was the best investment of our lives.”
“The Sage is done pretending. He wants to intimidate anyone who stands against him. I doubt Ashton will even show up now.”
“Look at the two beauties by his side. At 80, his luck with women is still incredible. Those rumors about his impotence are dead
now.”
Amidst the gasps of the crowd, the Sage reached the centre of the arena with a woman on each arm. He scanned the room with a smile, his gaze lingering on Ashton’s supporters for a long time as if marking them for later retaliation.

“Thank you all for coming. Let’s toast,” he said.
His voice was powerful and resonant, his domineering presence fully on display in a show of authority.
