Chapter 162: The Management Mode of the Shadow Pavilion
Time had a way of diluting many things.
Over the years, Marcia Kelvin realized she no longer harbored intense hatred toward her father. The seething resentment that once lived in her heart had gradually faded, eroded by the relentless passing of time. Still, one thing remained—she had never let go of her need for closure. Deep down, she had been waiting. Waiting for his apology.
But Zoey Redman's words today stirred something raw inside her. They made her uncomfortable—restless.
Marcia noticed a subtle change in Zoey's demeanor, an uneasiness he failed to mask completely. Instinctively, she sensed something was wrong with the Kelvin clan.
She didn't hesitate. "Zoey, what happened?"
Zoey Redman didn't intend to tell her at first, but after a long sigh, he relented. "The Kelvin clan... we've been having a hard time lately."
He began explaining slowly, the weight of the matter anchoring his voice.
The Kelvin clan's dominance in Chicago City could be traced back to Marcia's grandfather—Adam Kelvin, a martial artist who had achieved the Heaven Master level. With sheer strength and grit, he had elevated the Kelvin name into the ranks of the city's elite families.
But recently, an old rival had returned.
His name was Sawyer Welch.
Years ago, the Kelvin and Welch clans were bitter enemies. Adam Kelvin had forced the Welch clan out of Chicago City, humiliating them and stripping them of power. But in the shadows, they endured—waiting, growing, and preparing.
