Chapter 1054

No matter how far Peter's reach extended and how strong his bodyguards were, his power appeared lackluster before Matthias. It seemed like Peter was about to be

taken away.

At such a critical moment, Winston spoke up. "Have you considered how the public will take the news that you've captured Mr. Trevell? By then, you will be condemned across the globe. Are you willing to bear the consequences?"

A hidden tinge of threat lingered in Winston's tone.

Matthias smiled contemptuously. "Do you think this is still a century ago? Who do you think you are? Get out of the way!"

Winston's expression darkened terribly.

Matthias was subtly telling Winston to watch it. If he did anything stupid, he would charge Winston with espionage and lock him up, throwing him out of the country.

Everyone around watched, and no one dared to stand up for Peter anymore. After all, Jack was too powerful. Everyone could only watch as Peter was taken away.

Peter still tried to resist and shouted for dear life. However, after a few hard punches were hurled at him, he was utterly defeated.

Devin's heart was pounding as he watched his friend get arrested. He was involved in Peter's activities, so he knew his days were numbered.

Jett felt an inescapable sense of fear, and it felt like all that awaited him was a slow, inevitable demise.

Winona and Yolanda stood pale and trembling. Their prestigious pedigrees were futile in this situation.

A heavy sense of disappointment lingered in Wilhelmina's eyes, and beneath that, a fear was slowly creeping in. She never expected Patrick's extravagant forces would fail to take Jack down. It was unbelievable.

If Wilhelmina was right, Jack didn't even ask Quintis for help. It was through his own ability that he took down Patrick, making Gerard surrender.

Based on Emily's attitude toward her, Wilhelmina suspected that Emily and Quintis were oblivious to the fact that their son had

established Haven Net or to his

ability to wield such form is

power. Otherwise, Emily wouldn't have been so humble before Wilhelmina.

Jack's power was nothing short of terrifying. He was like a demon, something unnatural. Sometimes, Wilhelmina couldn't help but wonder how a man like him, almost inhuman in his talent and presence, had survived those early years with common folk.

What kind of hidden forces had shaped such a monster?

If she could go back in time, Wilhelmina would never have made enemies with Jack and would treat him as someone she could never afford to offend in this lifetime or lose.

However, it was too late. She was destined to be lifelong enemies with Jack. She could only continue on this path and be at odds with Jack until the very end—a path heading toward an endless abyss.

Feena, Bella, and Luca were so shocked by what unfolded before them that they were at a loss for words. Although they were dazzling stars in the public eye they were as insignificant as ants here and had ng power or authority to ask Jack about what was happening.

When did Jack become this terrifyingly powerful? He was far more shocking than the version of him they once knew. They thought he was already exceptional but never thought that their highest estimations of Jack had fallen short.

With a flick of his hand, Jack could shift the tides, control the board, and toy with everyone present like chess pieces. Even the proudest of the four prestigious families in Tarthy City had no choice but to lower their heads before Jack.
