Chapter 4
After a while, they arrived at Brookspring in the southern suburbs.
There lay the most luxurious villa community in all of Brookspring.
Almost every elite member of Brookspring’s high society preferred to reside in this place. It appeared to be far from the city’s hustle and bustle, but in reality, it was just a guise for a seemingly reclusive lifestyle.
Very soon, they arrived at the Harper Villa.
The Harper Villa stood on a hillside in the southern suburbs.
In fact, almost the entire hill belonged to the Harper family.
Right in the middle of the villa complex, there was a lively scene with people bustling around, and the place was lit up as if it were Christmas.
The reason was quite simple.
This day marked the 80th birthday of Samuel Harper, the current head of the Harper family.
At the moment, Samuel was seated in the main hall of the Harper Villa. With his face beaming, he was dressed in a red traditional suit.
He watched as guests came and went. All of them offered him birthday wishes.
At the entrance of the hall, a servant with a booming voice continuously announced the gifts brought by these guests.
“Representing Pinnacle Enterprises, the chairman brings birthday greetings to Mr. Samuel with two gold bars, each weighing 10 pounds.
“Representing Degrom Pharmaceuticals, the chairman brings birthday greetings to Mr. Samuel with five Nourishing Pills.
“Representing Lilosey Garments, the chairman brings birthday greetings to Mr. Samuel with a gift of 200 thousand dollars.”
These announcements echoed throughout the room.
As Samuel listened to these lavish gifts, he maintained a bright smile on his face.
But the very next moment, the voice of the servant announcing at the entrance seemed to change dramatically.
A deep, hoarse voice filled with boundless hostility resonated through the Harper Villa.
“The Clifford family from Brookspring came here to wish Mr. Samuel a happy birthday.”
This voice rumbled like thunder. It reverberated in the sky above the Harper Villa. It lingered for a long time without dissipating.
As soon as they heard the voice, everyone in the room was suddenly stunned. All eyes instinctively turned toward the
entrance.
Hearing that, they thought to themselves, “The Clifford family from Brookspring?”
It had been a long time since they heard the Clifford family from Brookspring.
The Clifford family from Brookspring had suffered a tragic annihilation many years ago, with the entire family meeting a grim end.
Even the family estate had turned into ruins and became the burial ground of the Clifford family.
But now, at the 80th birthday celebration of Samuel, someone had dared to claim the name of the Clifford family from Brookspring.
What a dreadful omen this was.
They wondered whether this person was wishing for the same fate for the Harper family as the Clifford family at Samuel’s 80th birthday celebration.
Samuel, who was seated at the head of the table, immediately gripped the armrest and stood up with a sharp clang.
His brow furrowed, and his eyes were filled with anger.
As the head of the Harper family, he certainly could sense the ominous atmosphere since everyone else could.
Moreover, what others didn’t know was that the Harper family had been involved in the tragic annihilation of the Clifford family many years ago.
This was like a direct slap to Samuel’s face on his 80th birthday celebration.
At this moment, a few members of the Harper family rushed forward to console Samuel.
Among them, one middle-aged man sternly spoke up.
He exclaimed, “Xavier, go and see what is going on!”
After hearing what he said, a well-groomed young man stepped forward.
Xavier Harper was the third-generation offspring of the Harper family, and he was none other than the eldest son of the Harper family.
He was well aware of the connection between the annihilation of the Clifford family and the Harper family.
Moreover, he was a key participant. The group that had hunted down Zoe at the Clifford family’s estate was just sent by Xavier.
With anger in his eyes, he approached the entrance of the hall.
After that, he shouted, “Damn it!
“Who is the idiot causing trouble at the Harper family? Have you had enough?”
Just as he was about to finish his sentence, that low, hoarse voice, which was just like the roar of a lion, rang out again.
“I’m Gavin Clifford, from the Clifford family of Brookspring.” novelbin
“Gavin?”
All the people in the hall, including the Harper family, gasped, and their eyes widened with shock. Their pupils dilated.
All of them exclaimed, “Cavin?”
One of them asked, “Is he the former eldest son of the Clifford family?”
Another person replied, “Is he still alive? Wasn’t he supposed to be dead a long time ago?”
People were abuzz with discussions, and even the members of the Harper family displayed surprised expressions.
At the same time, Xavier spoke up again.
He shouted, “Just show up! Stop pretending! Gavin died a decade ago!”
“Boom!” Just as Xavier uttered those words, a sudden air vibration sounded.
Xavier was instantly horrified when he saw an enormous black object materialize out of thin air and hurtle toward him.
After that, he screamed and then flung himself aside.
“Boom!” A deafening sound echoed through the hall as a massive coffin landed squarely in the center of the Harper Villa.
It caused a cloud of dust.
It was at this moment that Gavin’s voice resonated again.
He asked, “Samuel, are you satisfied with the 80th birthday gift the Clifford family is presenting to you?”
With these words, Gavin’s figure slowly emerged at the entrance of the Harper Villa’s hall. He moved step by step toward the interior.
“You fool!” Samuel’s furious voice rang out.

At this point, Samuel was trembling with anger as he stared at the coffin in the middle of the hall. His face changed to red and back to pale again.
“Dad, calm down. Please don’t let anger affect your health.”
The middle-aged man who asked Xavier to go out to investigate earlier hurriedly consoled Samuel. After that, he turned his angry gaze toward Gavin and pointed at him.
He then shouted, “You audacious thug! How dare you cause trouble in the Harper family?”
At the same time, Xavier, who had narrowly escaped the coffin’s attack, managed to climb to his feet.
As he glared at Gavin, who was nearby, he was extremely angry. He shouted with gritted teeth at Gavin, “Kid, you are asking for death!”
He then continued, “Someone! Beat this imbecile to a pulp!”
“Crack!”
Before he could finish speaking, a resounding noise echoed.
“Ah!”
A cry of agony burst from his lips, and then blood sprayed into the air.
Gavin had slapped Xavier so hard that half of Xavier’s face was laid open. After that, Xavier tumbled through the air. He eventually crashed to the ground.
He lay there convulsing and showed no signs of getting up.
“Xavier!” A woman’s horrified cry filled the air.
A plump woman rushed forward from the crowd. She threw herself beside Xavier.
She exclaimed, “Xavier, what happened to you? How… Ah!”
The next moment, she let out a sharp scream. Her face turned ashen as she saw Xavier’s half- shredded face with bones exposed.
“Ah!” She let out a sharp scream once more. It was shrill and piercing.
“You bastard! I will kill you! I will kill you!”
After that, the woman angrily charged toward Gavin with gritted teeth.
But in the next moment, the same sound rang out again.
“Crack!” A crisp noise rang out, and the plump woman completed a full rotation in mid-air twice as blood splattered everywhere. She finally fell to the ground with no signs of life.
“You!”
After seeing this, the members of the Harper family standing in the depths of the hall were incensed, and their burning with rage.
The middle-aged man who had spoken earlier stepped forward.
His voice was hoarse with fury as he shouted, “Kid, you dared to hurt my son and my wife!
“Someone! Kill him. Kill him!”

After he spoke, the servants and bodyguards of the Harper family brandished weapons and rushed forward.
Gavin clenched his fists as he looked at the crowd closing in on him.
“Boom!” With a loud noise, the ground beneath him suddenly cracked.

Instantly, it was as if his body had turned into a flying dragon. In the next second, the room was filled with screams as people tumbled through the air.
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen people from the Harper family who rushed out lay on the ground.
At that moment, all the onlookers were shocked.
An ordinary person definitely couldn’t achieve this.
Samuel’s gaze suddenly tightened.
After that, he exclaimed, “A warrior? He is actually a warrior!
“Hurry up! Fetch Mr. Mason!”
