His Lordship Alexander Kane

Chapter 0494 Time has a way of slipping through our fingers.

Before anyone realized it, three days had passed since the Redwine family's grand banquet. The events of that night had rippled out, setting off a chain reaction. An increasing number of lesser clans then flocked to the Redwine family, eager to serve, and the family's enterprises were booming like never before.

"Frank, you've outdone yourself." In the opulent hall of the Redwine estate, Vince, the once head of the family, regarded his third son with newfound respect. "I was blind to your talents, but now I see that your choices were spot on.

"Bowing to Mister Kane was the turning point for our family's ascent.

You played your cards right!" | Frank beamed with pride.

There was a time when he languished in the shadows of his older brothers, the headship of the family an unattainable dream. However, times have changed. Owen, his second brother, was gone, and Dallas, the eldest, had faded into obscurity. Frank then stood as the new patriarch, basking in his moment of triumph.

"The strength of our family lies in our might. The quicker we grow, the more we need a rock-solid foundation. We must recruit the best fighters, the Envoys, at any cost. If we could even bring a Grandmaster into our ranks, or better yet, a heavyweight... "' Vince

said, clapping Frank on the shoulder with a grave tone.

Before Vince could finish, Frank's grin widened.

"Father, you're about to meet some very special individuals." With a dramatic gesture, Frank beckoned and then turned to Vince with a confident flare. "Envoys, step forward!" In a flash, three figures appeared as if summoned from the shadows.

The moment Frank finished speaking, three venerable figures appeared, moving with the grace of swans in flight. They descended from the night's embrace to the grand hall's threshold, bowing in harmony.

"Greetings to the elder patriarch,

greetings to the young master. The Three Sages of Cidda City offer their respects!" The Three Sages of Cidda City?! A wave of wild joy washed over Vince's face. He sprang from his seat, eagerly guiding Frank to greet the newcomers, bowing with fists clasped, his voice quivering with excitement. "Elders, is it truly you?" "With you three as our Envoys, the Redwine family can finally breathe easy. I'm just... I'm over the moon!" Vince's reaction was understandable.

The north was a land of endless breadth, teeming with formidable fighters, and the Three Sages of CiddaThis is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

City were among the elite, Grandmaster at peak-level combatants. They were brothers of one blood, their minds in perfect sync, a force combined that could even topple an early-stage heavyweight.

Frank must have moved mountains to bring such champions to their side! "Dad, we can finally relax, right?" After exchanging pleasantries with the Three Sages of Cidda City, Frank's face lit up with a smile. "The elders have graciously accepted the role of Envoys.

I've made it clear that the Redwine family will treat them with nothing but the highest regard. Tonight, we'll throw a banquet in honor of our three Envoys!" "Absolutely! They deserve all our respect!"

vince was beside himself with glee, nodding vigorously. "And it's not just any banquet. We'll invite a crowd, and we must have Mister Kane there to show the whole north..." His words hung in the air, cut short by a sudden, scornful laugh that rang out above the Redwine estate. "Show the whole north what? Are you trying to broadcast to all the noble houses that the Redwine family's downfall is at hand?" "Since you cross the Waine family, you better be ready to face the consequences. Thinking that hiring the Three Sages of Cidda City will save the Redwine family? That's a joke!" Vince's face went white as a sheet! He knew all too well whose voice that was. It belonged to the patriarch of the

Waine family, Troy Waine's father, Ryder Waine! "Mister Waine, with our families united, the Redwine family won't stand a chance." Before the Redwines could even muster aresponse, another chillingly familiar sneer drifted from the manor's gates.

"When the time comes, we'll split the Redwine empire down the middle.

Sounds fair, doesn't it?" It was not just Vince who turned ghostly pale; Frank did too.

Ryder was not the only one who had shown up. Zayn Simmons himself was there in person! The two mighty families had teamed up for a stealth attack, arriving on the scene in force!
