2. other?” Scarlett murmured, her mind reeling from the shock.

It could be said that almost everyone on Linton Island was aware of how formidable and frightening the Apex Martial Academy was, and nobody dared to cross them. Cyrus, as the heir to the Apex Martial Academy, held a status that was beyond question.

Scarlett would never have dreamed of trying to claim any connection to someone of Cyrus‘ standing, but now, Cyrus–the same man who had just pulverized Raymond–was actually pleading to be her younger brother. She found it extremely bizarre, especially considering how Cyrus was actually older than her.

Scarlett turned to Ashton, her eyes filled with confusion and fear. She was stuck in a state of shock as her heart raced uncontrollably, having no clue what she was supposed to do or say next.

“You should cut off his filthy hands, and… make sure he never sees the light of day again!” Ashton declared indifferently. He was done being merciful and compassionate after everything he had been through.

He knew that if he were to spare Raymond, it would be interpreted as a sign of weakness. Cyrus‘ respect would have vanished, as he would have realized that provocations were forgivable. He knew that true dominance was only ever established through bloodshed.

“Got it, Mr. Gray!” Cyrus exclaimed. He then drew his dagger and pinned Raymond’s right arm to the floor with his foot.

“Save me, Mr. Zapata!” Raymond was paralyzed with fear. He couldn’t fathom why Cyrus, his supposed friend, had suddenly become his mortal enemy, desperate to end his life. He realized his only hope of surviving Cyrus lay with Zeke, the foremost scion of Linton Island.

It was then that Zeke suddenly spoke up. “Why make a big deal out of this when we’re all just out here to have a good time, Mr. Leighton? I’ll have Mr. Weaver apologize to this gentleman and young woman so that we can put this behind us. How does that sound, Mr. Leighton?”

Cyrus‘ brow furrowed as he met Zeke’s gaze, a jolt of nervous energy hitting his chest. He had been aware of Zeke the whole time but had hoped to avoid him, dreading a direct confrontation.

He was aware that the Apex Martial Academy and the Sterling family ran the criminal underworld of Linton Island. In contrast, the Zapata family held absolute power over its legal and political landscape.

He was aware that in terms of strength, the Zapata family was significantly more formidable. He knew they had at least one divine realm expert on their side, perhaps even a whole council of them. He had no desire to turn the Zapatas into his enemies if he could help it.

“I’m forever in your debt! Thank you, Mr. Zapata!” Raymond felt a wave of relief wash over him. He was certain that with Zeke’s intervention, his life was no longer in danger.

Cyrus remained silent, casting an expectant glance toward Ashton, who simply kept drinking his wine, offering no immediate response. He clenched his fists, realizing that he had reached a crossroads and had to make a

decision now.

In that instant, blood spurted as Cyrus slashed with his dagger, cutting off Raymond’s hand. He then ordered coldly amidst Raymond’s wails, “Get him thrown into Linton River!”

“Got it, Mr. Leighton!”

It was then that the two men hauled the screaming Raymond away.

“Please save me! I’m one of your men, Mr. Zapata!” Raymond kept yelling in desperation.

Zeke’s gaze hardened as he faced Cyrus. “Josiah, don’t let them take Raymond!”

“Got it, Mr. Zapata!”

It was then that Josiah Latham, the elderly man flanking Zeke, lunged forward. He knocked back the two men holding Raymond with a violent burst of spiritual energy, leaving Raymond behind.
