In the manor.

Gilmore, along with Lilian and Claire, strolled through the garden, appreciating its blooms.

At that moment, Xavier appeared in the backyard with a serious look on his face. “Mr. Reed, he reported, “someone from the Eulogian Club is here to see you.”

Gilmore remained composed, responding, ‘So, the Eulogiani Club didn’t waste any time. Where are they now?”

Xavier answered, Tve ushered them into the living room of the villa

Gilmore nodded. “Alright, let’s meet them.

Lilian and Claire were equally curious. They wanted to see for themselves what these infamous members of the Eulogian Club looked like.

Soon after, the group left the backyard and made their way into the villa’s living room.

Upon entering. Gilmore’s gaze instantly settled on an older man in his sixties, dressed in a black robe.

He sat on the sofa, emanating an aura of superiority.

Behind him stood two men in dark clothes, evidently his subordinates.

Indeed, this was Eason, the evildoer.

He had come to Gilmore’s estate on Blaze’s orders, aiming to persuade Gilmore to join their cause.

Seeing Gilmore and his companions enter, Eason didn’t rise from his seat. He remained seated as if he owned the place, exuding an air of arrogance..

Gilmore, Claire, and Lilian took their seats across from Eason, while Xavier stood protectively behind them, a hint of unease

on his face.

Even though he recognized Gilmore’s strength, the reputation of the Eulogian Club still gave him pause.

After settling in his seat, Gilmore addressed Eason, “I was told a member of the Eulogian Club has graced us with his presence. How should I address you, old man?”

Eason, the evildoer, furrowed his brows in displeasure.

In the past, wherever Eason went, whether they were influential figures or heads of the wealthiest families, they all greeted him with the utmost respect and hardly dared to breathe too loudly in his presence.

Yet, here was Cilmore, not only failing to rise upon seeing him but also devoid of any respectful demeanor. And on top of that, he referred to Eason as “old man.”

Eason was seething inside.

If it weren’t for his mission of persuasion today, he might have exploded in anger already.

Meeting Gilmore’s gaze, Eason said, “Just address me as ‘sir. I’m here on behalf of the Eulogian Club with an important matter to discuss.”

Gilmore looked at Eason, a hint of surprise on his face. “Sir, this the first time we’ve met. I’ve never had dealings with the Eulogian Club,

“Why would there be anything significant you’d wish to discuss with me?”

Eason thought, “Such impertinence!”

In his eyes, Gilmore was playing dumb.

Gilmore had clearly taken all the wealth and assets of the five families, yet now he was acting as if he was clueless.

Suppressing his rage, Eason continued, “Mr. Reed, haven’t you recently acquired all the wealth and assets of the Hobart, Cagle, and other families?“

Gilmore remained calm. “Ah, you’re referring to the live families? Yes, they did transfer all their assets and wealth to me a few days ago. What’s your take on that, sir?”

Inside. Eason silently cursed. “Shameless! Clearly, he robbed those families, yet he claims they willingly transferred everything?”

Although these thoughts raced through his mind, Eason held back and said, “Mr. Reed, you might not be aware, but all those families are affiliated with the Eulogian Club,

“By taking their assets, you’ve placed the Eulogian Club in a difficult position.

Gilmore nonchalantly replied, “If it’s challenging for you, then perhaps you shouldn’t get involved.”

Eason’s face darkened instantly,

Was Gilmore suggesting that the Eulogian Club should stay out of it?

So, the Eulogian Club couldn’t intervene?

Eason broke into a smile, but it was one so icy that it might as well have been a frownL

“Mr. Reed,” he began, “this isn’t something the Eulogian Club can just ignore. If we were to turn a blind eye now, wouldn’t everyone, every faction, and every family feel emboldened to slight the Eulogian Club in the future?”

His gaze on Gilmore was sharp and unyielding.

Gilmore chuckled, “Sir, if you wish to get involved, who am I to stop you?

“But let me make something clear: The Hobart and other four sought my downfall first. Whatever predicament they’re in now, they brought upon themselves.

“If the Eulogian Club insists on championing their cause, I’m not afraid to stand my ground against you.”

With a casual demeanor, Gilmore’s confident words seemed to stoke the flames of Eason’s simmering anger. Eason, trying to remain composed, warned, “Mr. Reed, the five families are under the Eulogian Club’s protection.

“Moving against them is tantamount to opposing us.

“We won’t let this slide:

Gilmore responded with a nonchalant smile, “So, what does the Eulogian Club intend to do?”

Eason smirked coldly. “Originally, opposing the Eulogian Club would’ve meant a dead end for you.

“But our leader, Blaze, recognizes your prowess as a true martials. He’s willing to bring you into the Eulogian Club.

“Submit and pledge loyalty to the Eulogian Club, and all past offenses can be forgiven

So, that’s their game, Gilmore realized. The evildoer of the Eulogian Club had come to make him bend the knee.

What a joke!

Gilmore looked at Eason, challenging, “And if I refuse to submit?”

Achilling smile spread across Eason’s face. “Then, I’m afraid you’ll be in hot water. Not just you, but your family, friends, and even your business could face dire consequences.

By the time you realize the depth of your mistake, it 11 be too late for regrets?

A hint of amusement flashed across Gilmore’s face, countering Eason’s threat. “Sir, I have a condition of my own, one I’d like the Eulogian Club to consider”

Eason, misreading Gilmore’s confidence as fear, assumed he was ready to yield.

So, he looked at Gilmore and said. “Go ahead”

Eulogian Club to surrender to me

Gilmore responded, “Sir, if you can convince your leader Blaze, and everyone in the I promise you all a life of unparalleled wealth and luxury.

if you decline, not just you, but your family, friends, even your business could face dire consequences”

Eason’s face turned an ashen hue, realizing he’d been played by Gilmore.

“I can’t believe what I’m hearing. He wants the Eulogian Club to bow down?” he thought.

M

t’s more, the latter part of Gilmore’s statement mirrored Eason’s own threat just

moments ago.

coursed through Eason “Mr. Reed, you dare mock me and belittle the Eulogian Club? Wait for our retribution!” With that, he stood up abruptly from the sofa, swept his sleeve in a flourish, and stormed out of the living room But just as he was about to leave, Gilmore’s voice cut through the tension, “Stay right where you are!”

Eason and his two associates froze in their tracks.

Eason’s face painted with disbelief. “What now? You want to lay a hand on me?

“I warn you, if you dare harm me, the Eulogian Club will ensure you vanish from this world for good!”
