Chapter 319 That Person Is from the Ghost Sect 

Milly hadn’t expected him to greet her. She raised an eyebrow, remembering him clearly. He had once choked her, threatened her, and tried to coerce her into leaving George. 

Ha, well, she was pretty petty, and seeing him now, she couldn’t resist provoking him. 

“Scarface, right? You’re pretty slow. I just came out of your Master’s room. We watched a movie, and my back’s killing me. If you’d come a bit earlier, you might’ve caught me kissing him. And you know what? Your Master’s skin is really smooth.” 

She was curious why they called George “Master,” but since it irritated Scarface, she would use their term. 

“You!!!” As expected, Scarface’s face turned red with fury. His eyebrows shot up, and his eyes blazed as if he were looking at a witch. 

If he hadn’t been holding someone down, he probably would’ve choked her again. 

But Milly found it amusing. Knowing he couldn’t hurt her now made her feel even bolder. “Oh, and tell your Master to get a bigger bed. Sharing a single bed with him is really killing my back!” 

With that, she turned and walked away, head held high like a victorious rooster. Ha, take that! 

However, she didn’t notice the person Scarface was restraining narrowing his eyes as he watched her leave…. 

Inside the hospital room, Scarface shoved the restrained man in front of the bed. 

A swift kick to the back of the knees forced the man to kneel. Even so, he defiantly held his head high, his face full of resistance. 

Scarface’s face dark with anger, reported, “Master, this is the guy who’s been lurking around the hospital entrance. We stripped him and found he has the Ghost Sect tattoo. He’s definitely from the Ghost Sect.” 

! 

At this moment, George had already put on the golden mask he usually wore to conceal his identity. He glanced coldly at the thin man kneeling before him. “A member of the Ghost Sect? Did you come here to finish me off, or just to see if I’m dead?” 

The thin man scoffed, his gaze venomous. “Of course, I came to kill you!” 

“Heh, quite the tough talk,” George sneered. “You’re in my hands now. Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you first?” 

The thin man spat blood from his mouth and glared at him fiercely. “Pah! If I were afraid of you, I wouldn’t be here! Do what you want. Even if I die, my brothers in the Ghost Sect will avenge me! One day, we will destroy the Shadow Palace and avenge our fallen brothers-” 

Before he could finish, George’s hand was around his throat, cutting off his words. 

No one had seen George move from the bed to where the man knelt. It was as if he had descended like an avenging angel, his speed astonishing. Now, he squeezed the man’s throat, his face filled with murderous intent. He spoke through clenched teeth, “Avenge your fallen brothers? And who will pay for my grandmother’s death?” 

His grandmother had been a good woman, brutally murdered by the Ghost Sect. Now they dared to talk

Chapter 319 That Person is from the Ghost Sect 

The thin man, now barely conscious and struggling to breathe, couldn’t comprehend George’s words. His body fought instinctively to break free, but it was no use. 

Knowing George’s deep–seated grudge, Danny and Scarface didn’t try to intervene. If George killed him, they would handle the aftermath. It was no big deal. 

But George released his grip just as the man was about to pass out. 

The thin man collapsed, coughing violently as if reborn. 

George straightened up, looking down at him coldly. His recent exertion had reopened the wounds on his back, causing blood to seep through, but he seemed oblivious to the pain. 

His voice was icy, filled with lethal intent. “This is Halturia. I don’t want to kill anyone here. Go back and tell your branch sect master that I’m still alive. They better start praying because the Shadow Palace will wipe out the entire Ghost Sect sooner or later. Now, get lost!” 

The thin man knew now was not the time for bravado. Since George had spared him, the most important thing was to leave quickly. 

After he ran off, Danny frowned and looked at George, concerned. “Mr. Tate, was it wise to let him go so easily? What if he tries something else?” 

George took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, “It’s fine. They can’t stir up much trouble in Halturia.” 

Danny thought about it and agreed. If they were in Maldonia or Nlirone, street killings were a possibility. But Halturia was known for its strict law enforcement. Even if they had the intent, they wouldn’t have the 

nerve to act on it. 

And even if they did, with the Tates‘ influence and power in Halturia, squashing them would be as easy as crushing an ant. 

However, George would only invoke the Tates‘ name as a last resort… 

The pain from his reopened wound made George’s face pale, and fatigue showed in his eyes. He exhaled heavily, slowly closing his eyes to hide the turmoil within. 

Truthfully, he had wanted to strangle that man on the spot! Thinking about his grandmother dying at their hands made it impossible for him to be magnanimous. But in the final moment, Milly’s smiling face flashed before his eyes…. 

Would she think he was a murderer? Would she find him frightening and distance herself from him? 

In Halturia, even if those people were in the wrong, he had no right to take the law into his own hands and kill them, even if letting that man go was like nurturing a viper. 

But he didn’t want to see disappointment or fear in Milly’s eyes…. 

He really didn’t want to lose Milly. 

Elsewhere, the thin man sprinted out of the hospital and jumped into an old, beat–up car, driving to an abandoned factory.

The place was overgrown with weeds, the walls were weathered, and the air was filled with a faint oily stench and the smell of decay, indicating it had been deserted for a long time. 

The thin man stopped the car and stumbled towards a dilapidated building within the factory grounds. “Master! Master!” he called out.
