The reason Lawrence was so furious was not only because Gilmore publicly belittled his son Clive, but also because Reed
Forlive’s martial arts and had him imprisoned.
To rescue his son, Lawrence traveled thousands of miles from Sunsbury to Vista Verde, breaking Clive out of jail.
As a master of the Black Hawks, when had Lawrence ever seen his son suffer such humiliation?
Thus, when Gilmore publicly mentioned Clive’s disgrace, the rage in Lawrence’s heart reached its peak. Lawrence’s shout clearly made many of the elites in the hall slightly change their expressions, filled with fear.
This was a master from the prestigious the Black Hawks in Sunsbury. If he took action, there would undoubtedly be bloodshed.
Most of them were not martial arts experts, and even those who were skilled were far inferior to Lawrence’s strength. Therefore, they instinctively moved away from the center of the hall to avoid getting involved.
This left only the members of the Carter family and the Foster family standing beside Gilmore and Lawrence. Everyone was worried for Gilmore, especially since he had crippled Clive’s martial arts and had him imprisoned,
Lawrence would not let this go, and a fierce battle was about to chupt at this party.
“Gilmore, tell me! Do you want me to kill you, or will you take your own life?” Lawrence’s sharp, cold eyes stared intently at Gilmore as he spoke word by word.
As he finished speaking, a chilling dagger slid out from his sleeve and into his right hand.
With a flick of his wrist, the dagger flew out, embedding itself in the floor tiles just in front of Gilmore’s right foot, missing by a hair’s breadth.
The blade sank several inches into the tile, unmoving.
Everyone looked horrified.
With just a casual throw, Lawrence had embedded the dagger into the floor tiles, showcasing his profound internal mana. The sharpness of the dagger was also astonishing.

“Lawrence, if you want to kill Gilmore, you’ll have to kill me first At this moment, Denton stepped forward, standing in front of Gilmore, and spoke with a commanding tone.
Lawrence’s
gaze immediately shifted to Denton, but Denton met his Raze
without flinching.
Their eyes locked in a tense standoff.
Lawrence’s face was cold and stern. When he shook hands with Denton earlier, he had secretly tested Denton’s strength.
He found out that Denton was only a mid–level internal force martialist, clearly not on par with Lawrence’s top–tier skills.

Therefore, Lawrence was confident he would defeat Denton.
Claire, her parents, and the Chen family were deeply concerned for Denton’s safety.
After all, Lawrence was a renowned expert from the Black Hawks in Sunsbury.”
How could Denton possibly be his match?
At that moment, Norman, who had been watching from the sidelines, stepped in, pretending to try to mediate. He said, “Mr. Denton Carter, Mr. Lawrence Ray, both of you are my esteemed guests tonight.
“As the saying goes, it’s better to resolve enmities than to hold onto them. Why does it have to be so extreme??”
His peacemaking demeanor naturally earned him the respect and admiration of the many elites present.
However, seeing his own performance winning over many, Norman felt secretly pleased.
He knew that even if he tried to mediate, Lawrence and Denton would not reconcile.
In fact, his mediation might even fan the flames of their anger.
As expected, Lawrence coldly retorted, “Mr. Norman Weston, the grievance of crippling Clive’s martial arts cannot be reconciled!”
Similarly, Denton firmly responded, “Norman, there’s no room for negotiation when it comes to someone wanting to kill Gilmore. They’d have to step over my dead body first!”
Norman sighed, feigning regret and helplessness, as if he deeply regretted not being able to mediate their hatred.
“Mr. Norman Weston, Denton is the murderer of my grandpa!” Suddenly, a voice filled with hatred echoed from the
entrance.
Everyone’s gaze immediately shifted to the door.
Under the protection of two bodyguards, Benjamin walked in..
Surprise was evident on everyone’s faces.
Why was Benjamin here?
Many of the elites had attended the memorial service for Emerson a few days ago.
They all knew that on that day, Benjamin had tried to kill Gilmore with a knife. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Unexpectedly, he appeared at this elite party again.
And he accused Denton of being the murderer of Emerson!
This made everyone incredulous. How could Denton possibly be the killer of Emerson?

With a face full of hatred, Benjamin approached Norman, pointing at Denton a few meters away, reiterating. “Mr. Norman Weston, he is the one who killed my grandpal”
Norman feigned anger and rebuked Benjamin, “Benjamin, how can you make such baseless accusations? How could Denton be the killer of your grandpa?”
“Mr. Norman Weston, I’m not talking nonsense. On the night my grandpa died, he sent Mr. Merrett and Mr. Richardson, who are also disciples of Mr. Lawrence Ray, to kill Gilmore, Benjamin’s eyes were sharp.
“But Mr. Merrett and Mr. Richardson didn’t manage to kill Gilmore. Instead, they were killed by a mysterious masked man in black.
“Right after that, my grandpa was also killed by this masked man. It must have been Denton, trying to protect Gilmore, who killed my grandpa and Mr. Merrett and Mr. Richardson!
“And in the entire city, before Mr. Lawrence Ray arrived, only Denton had the capability to kill my grandpa!”
In fact, many of the elites in the hall, through their own means and channels, were aware of some of the things Benjamin mentioned.
They knew about Emerson sending Cooper and Dean to kill Gilmore and about them being killed by a mysterious masked
man.
However, they hadn’t received any news that the masked man was Denton.
Even though in the city, the only person capable of killing Emerson was indeed Denton, everything requires evidence. Without evidence, even if Benjamin’s words sounded convincing, they were still mere speculations.
Therefore, most of the elites in the hall didn’t react much to what Benjamin said.
After all, they weren’t naive children who could be easily deceived by a few words.
Denton looked at Benjamin and laughed, “You say I’m the murderer of your grandfather, but ask everyone around here. Who would believe that?”
Benjamin, of course, saw the disbelief on the faces of the elites around him, but he insisted, “You are the one who killed my grandpa, as well as Mr. Merrett and Mr. Richardson!”
“Benjamin, stop slandering without evidence. What proof do you have to claim that my grandpa is the murderer?
“If you don’t have any evidence and still accuse my grandpa, then I might as well say you are the one who killed your own grandpal
At this point, a furious voice chimed in. It was from Claire who couldn’t tolerate it anymore.

Benjamin, of course, had no evidence. Otherwise, he would have presented it already. Confronted by Claire’s aggressive questioning, he was rendered speechless.
This was the guilt of a wrongdoer.
“Evidence? It’s clear that Mr. Emerson Palmer and my two disciples were killed by Denton. What more evidence is needed?” However, at this moment, a chilling voice, intimidating and piercing, resonated. It was Lawrence.
A chill ran down everyone’s spine. They thought, “Was Lawrence trying to bully his way through, indiscriminately labeling Denton as the murderer?”
