Chapter 446 Breaking Through
Nathan was seething with anger at this moment, and after venting his frustrations, he felt much more satisfied.
But Brian's expression suddenly changed.
He tried to pull Nathan back, but it was too late. Nathan had already said what was on his mind.
All Brian could do now was look at Alexander with a face full of caution.
Alexander's expression grew cold. "Nathan, who do you think you are? How dare you challenge me? I am now the head of the Paltrow family, and you're not even an heir. When I speak to your father, do you think you have the right to interrupt? You should be punished for breaking the rules." With that, Alexander suddenly waved his hand.
A bolt of purple lightning appeared out of thin air and struck Nathan with such speed that he had no time to react.
"Watch out!" Brian shouted as he instantly appeared in front of Nathan. But before he could do anything, the purple lightning struck him directly. With a deafening explosion, both Brian and Nathan were sent flying, their bodies charred.
Alexander had held back. He didn't intend to kill them. If he had, they wouldn't just be charred. They would have been two corpses by now.
Brian suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face pale and grim.
Nathan, beside him, was stunned. Seeing his father so severely injured while trying to protect him filled him with rage. He pointed at Alexander, ready to lash out.
But this time, Brian stopped him.
Brian's jaw clenched, barely containing his fury. "Mr. Paltrow," he ground out, "I take full responsibility for Nathan's disrespect. I apologize on his behalf. He's been disciplined. He's already been punished. Can we go now?"
Alexander's eyes narrowed in disappointment.
He hadn't expected Brian to take such blatant humiliation lying down. This left him with no clear excuse to continue his vendetta against the Augustines.
As Brian prepared to leave, Alexander casually remarked, "Mr. Augustine, what's the rush? My wedding's about to start. Stay and enjoy the festivities."
He leaned in, his tone hardening. "Business is business, but let's not let it spoil the friendship between our families. Leaving now would be a slap in the face to me and the entire Paltrow family."
Brian clenched his teeth, his face filled with frustration. But in the end, all he could do was nod.
The Paltrow family was stronger than the Augustine family, and Alexander's power far surpassed his own. After all, they were on the Paltrow family territory. Even if Brian felt humiliated, he had no choice but to endure it.
If they gave Alexander an excuse to act, they would only face even greater humiliation.
No one would stand up for them!
The mocking glances from those around them were proof enough.
"Fine, we'll stay and continue to join the ceremony." Brian could only swallow his humiliation, forcing himself to endure the pain as he and his companions sat down once more.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Disappointment flashed in Alexander's eyes again.
"Humph! I want to see just how much the Augustine family can endure! Next up is my wedding with Clarissa... Osborne, will you keep hiding like a coward?" he pondered. "Will you show up? I can't wait to see if you will!"
With that thought, Alexander nodded at the host.
The host immediately announced, "And now, the moment we've all been waiting for! Please welcome the bride, Ms. Radcliffe!"
In an instant, everyone turned to look at the entrance of the venue.
The wedding was about to begin!
Meanwhile, back at Isa's mansion, Osborne's eyes fluttered open.
A sudden burst of light shot out from Osborne's gaze. He felt a sense of well-being he had never experienced before. It was as if the whole world had come alive in his perception-everything was more vibrant, more real.
"Did I... succeed?" Osborne murmured to himself.
Isa suddenly appeared before him and said, "Yes, you did! You've now become a Class A Power Master. Your sout of powers has been fully transformed and integrated with your body. Why don't you try feeling your new strength?"
Osborne's eyes lit up with excitement at her words, but when he glanced down at the time, his expression instantly changed.
"Today is the wedding day?" He sprang to his feet.
Isa hesitated for a moment but eventually nodded. "That's right. According to the Paltrow family's plan, Alexander and Clarissa's wedding is happening right now."
Osborne's mind went blank, and his face turned pale instantly.
He no longer had time to marvel at his newfound strength and rushed out the door in a frenzy.
Seeing this, Isa bit her lip hard.
"Osborne, don't be in such a hurry. The wedding hasn't officially started yet. You should clean yourself up first. You're filthy. If you go to meet Clarissa like this, she won't be happy."
After a brief hesitation, Osborne nodded and quickly dashed into the bathroom.
As he showered, he began to sense the changes in his body.
Merging the soul of powers with the body was an uncharted path, one that no one had ever attempted. According to Isa's assessment, the benefit of doing this would be faster control and quicker execution of his abilities.
At the same time, his body was growing stronger.
Osborne could indeed feel his newfound strength, but just how much stronger he had become was something he would need to test against an opponent to truly understand.
Finally, Osborne's power had greatly increased.
Without wasting time on a more thorough examination, he quickly dried off, got dressed, and prepared to head out.
Just then, Isa approached with a box and handed it to Osborne.
"What's this?" Osborne asked, curiosity piqued.
"This is for you. It's a gun. It seems to be a reward from the Godfather for completing your mission."
Isa's words left Osborne stunned.
He glanced at his Draco Star Wristlet, and sure enough, the reward for the first part of the fifth heir's trial had been settled.
His reward was a gun!
Osborne was taken aback as he accepted the box, frowning. "Godfather gives me a gun as a reward? That's all?"
