Chapter 144 – The Backer of the Branton Family
The phrase "survival of the fittest" had never gone out of style. Even in modern society, the so-called rules often crumbled in the face of overwhelming power.
That truth was made abundantly clear by Carlos's shady dealings.
If the person behind Queenie Group hadn't been John, then the formula for the divine-level facial mask would've simply become Carlos's private goldmine—its true creator silenced and exploited.
Similarly, if it hadn't been John standing here today demanding justice, he would've already been lying in the Branton courtyard as a cold corpse.
And yet, now that they realized how dangerous John was, the Branton Family suddenly wanted to "talk it out."
Where was that diplomacy when Carlos was committing his crimes?
You can't call for peace only when you're losing.
The worldly rules meant nothing to the King of Horizon.
With no hesitation, John kicked Carlos down again in front of Barron, then stepped hard on his knee.
CRACK!
The sound of bone shattering rang through the courtyard like a whip, followed by a blood-curdling scream.
