Chapter 855

“My doubts were unfounded, I shouldn’t have suspected you.” Duncan kissed Mireille’s delicate face gently. His suspicions the previous night arose because of her untimely appearance. After investigating Tanner Group Pharmacy yesterday through his probes and

subordinates, he confirmed that Mireille had indeed passed by the

estate unintentionally. Moreover, they had consummated their

relationship. She was now his woman, and continuing to doubt her

would only hurt her.

“Mireille, do you… do you love me?” Duncan suddenly asked,

stuttering.

Mireille shook her head and replied, “No.”

Duncan smiled bitterly, his eyes losing their luster. Perhaps… she had acted impulsively under the influence of alcohol?

“Fool, feelings need time to develop!” Mireille chuckled, trying her best to show that she was gradually accepting Duncan.

“Then, let’s take our time to develop them.” Duncan raised his arm, pulling the woman into his embrace.

On the rooftop, Peter, The Swordsman, and Borris gazed toward Royal

Bay.

There was a vibrant and colorful cloud formation in the direction they were looking at. Peter narrowed his eyes and said, “A celestial phenomenon has occurred. Looks like Nash has successfully refined

the Golden Onyx Pill!”

“So what? Can he break through to the Mystique Loyalty Realm in just one day after refining and assimilating the effects of the pill? Even if he does, it will be a piece of cake for me to kill him!” The Swordsman proclaimed with his hand behind his back, confident and spirited.

“Nash is so young yet he managed to refine a fifth-grade elixir. His talent in alchemy is truly terrifying. If it weren’t for Duncan insisting on killing him, I would have liked to befriend him.” Boris sighed.

While the martial arts world in Drakonia was flourishing, true alchemy masters were rare, and those who could refine fifth-grade elixirs were even rarer. Nash was a young man in his twenties. For him to be able to produce such an elixir marked him as truly exceptional. If left to

grow, he was bound to overturn the entire martial arts world.

Peter frowned. “Did you guys hear something?”

Boris and The Swordsman perked up their ears and listened. After a

moment, the two exchange smiles.

“It’s been a long time since I had some fun. Duncan better a few lively maidens to satisfy my desires once I’m done killin

Peter stroked his beard and laughed. “Mature women are much

than those youngins.”

Boris at Peter in surprise. “Aren’t priests supposed to stay away fro worldly desires? Have you been lusting after women in the secula

world?”

Peter roared with hearty laughter. “The Path doesn’t accept me, even though I wear their robes and practice their arts. I’ve never considered

myself a Path taker, so of course, I don’t need to abide by those rules

and regulations!”

Soon, it was noon time. Duncan kissed Mireille’s forehead. The

woman had already fallen back asleep. He whispered, “Rest. I’ll be

back to accompany you tonight.”

After that, he grabbed a set of clothes from the wardrobe, put them

on, tidied his hair, and then left the room, carefully closing the door

behind him.

Mireille opened her eyes, a chill in her gaze. Dragging her tired body

out of the bed, she went into the bathroom and turned on the tap to

wash everything away with cold water.

In the living room, Duncan was in a meeting with his three godfathers,

legs crossed and a half-smoked cigarette in his hand.

“I’ll have to trouble you all to accompany me to visit the Zells, Lees,

and Watsons the next two hours. As long as we get fifty percent of

the families’s equities, the Jonford business world will be under our

control!”

Today, the Duerson family would rise.

Half an hour later, Duncan, accompanied by his three godfathers and a group of elite bodyguards, headed toward the Watson residence.
