Mosby walked over, clearly impressed. “Mr. Wright Senior, you’re really a man of bold decisions. You raised such a powerful son with so much effort, and now you’ve crippled him just like that… Even I feel it’s a shame!”
Kevin scoffed. “Save the sympathy, Dr. Lake. You’re not fooling anyone. Now, get in touch with Mr. Driscoll. I didn’t care about the treasure before, but now that I know it exists, I’m taking my cut. And if anyone dares to leave the Wrights out of it, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
Mosby’s expression darkened, his eyes wary. “Understood. But if the Wrights want in, you’ve got to pull your weight. We’ve gone through hell collecting the scattered fragments of this map, and now that the full treasure map is nearly complete, the Wrights just show up to claim a share?”
He added, “You barely did anything–there needs to be some compensation!”
Kevin sneered. “Your compensation is staying alive, Mosby. If I felt like it, I’d kill you right now. Do you really think the Wrights won’t make that move?”
Mosby fell silent. After all, Kevin had hidden his strength for years, but he had now revealed himself to be a full- fledged martial king. Mosby stood no chance against him.
Kevin clasped his hands behind his back and smirked coldly “But don’t worry, Dr. Lake. We old families don’t like to burn bridges too easily, especially with someone as useful as you.”
Mosby’s eyes narrowed. “Mr. Wright Senior, are you suggesting we team up to take Andrew down when we search for the treasure?”
Kevin’s expression turned cold as he nodded slowly. “Exactly. To me, taking out my so–called brother more important than the treasure itself. You saw what happened today.

“Andrew is like a blade–sharp, unpredictable, and impossible to control. I won’t let that kind of danger hang over my head. His cunning, charm, and intellect are damn near inhuman. Forget just you or Driscoll being wary of him —even I’ve been on guard around him the whole time.
“Thankfully, his martial skills haven’t reached that unbeatable level… not yet. So far, I’ve still got the upper hand. But if he keeps going at this monstrous pace, that won’t last long. That’s why we need to seize this chance and eliminate him completely. It’s the only safe path forward.”
Mosby nodded quickly, now sounding grimmer, more aligned in hatred. “You’re absolutely right, Mr. Wright Senior. Andrew has become a real threat. Ever since he showed up in Blumedale, he’s either offended every major faction or made them part of his personal circle.
“If we keep letting him rise unchecked, the current power balance–Mr. McCormick, the Three Titans, even the Five Apex Families–it’s all going to collapse. He could easily become the Fourth Titan himself at this rate.”
Kevin clenched and unclenched his fists, over and over. “Then, when the time comes, we put aside our differences and strike together.”
Mosby gave a grunt of agreement. “It’s settled. I’ll talk to Mr. Driscoll right away.”
Once Kevin was left alone, he muttered, “Andrew, don’t blame me for being a cruel brother. Blame yourself for being too damn dangerous. If you were just a brilliant young man, maybe we’d still be real friends. But you’re not. You’re a freak of nature, and I hate what I can’t control.”
Meanwhile, Andrew had returned safely to Serenity Villa with Dylan in tow.
