This very moment.

Zeba, concealed in the shadows, peered across the mountain at Willow Estates. Suddenly, her eyes widened as she witnessed a dark figure galloping out of the villa, followed closely by Gideon, the formidable leader of the four marshals.

To her astonishment, the mysterious figure was heading straight toward her, with Gideon in hot pursuit, wielding a wooden sword in one hand and his Taoist robe flowing behind him.

Even from a distance, Zeba could hear the resounding bellow of Gideon, “Boy, surrender that ring and reveal Maria Clark’s whereabouts! If I’m feeling generous, I may spare you. Otherwise, prepare to face the consequences! Your head shall meet the ground!”

Without looking back, Jasmine retorted with disdain, “You old hound, cease your barking! You know not if you can survive your advanced years, yet you dare spout nonsense here! If you desire the ring, catch me if you can!”

Zeba was momentarily stupefied. “Ring? Maria Clark? Could it be that Gideon has discovered Maria Clark’s ring? Or does the man in black possess it?”

Just as Zeba’s mind raced with questions, a multitude of people suddenly emerged from the villa, giving chase to the fleeing figures.

By the time they reached the scene, the black-clad individual and Gideon had already raced several hundred meters ahead, leaving the pursuers uncertain of their next move.

Gazing at the approaching group, Zeba’s surprise deepened. “Is the Evans family still alive? Gideon entered the villa at least a minute before the arrival of the man in black. Why did he not attack the Evans family during that time? With his strength, it would take no more than half a minute to exterminate them…”

In this precise moment, anxiety consumed the members of the Evans family who had pursued them relentlessly. They were not fools, they understood that Jasmine’s seemingly callous words earlier had been a deliberate ploy to draw the murderous old man away and ensure their safety.

The Lady, her tears still fresh on her sleeves, was in a state of desperation. She clutched onto the hand of the elderly Samuel Evans, her voice trembling as she cried, “Samuel, what if something befalls Jasmine?… How could I ever face Lily and Bruce in the days to come?”
