The Forgotten Titan's Resurgence

"Gideon!" Elara screamed.

Everyone, including Matthew Lavinia, Benny, and Derek, was all stunned.

"What are you doing here?" Elara and Lavinia questioned in unison.

The two women exchanged g

lances before asking each other, "You know him?"

Elara replied, "Ms. Mosley, Gideon is... my husband, but only in name!"

"Your husband?" Lavinia was filled with doubt.

Wasn't Gideon supposed to be unmarried? Why did he have a wife now?

Elara asked, "Ms. Mosley, do you know him?"

Lavinia thought for a moment. Not wanting Gideon to use her name to deceive others, she shook her head. "No. I don't know him."

Elara breathed a sigh of relief.

"Gideon, what are you doing here? Ms. Mosley said this residence belongs to Mr. Zeller, the King of Battle! How dare you sneak in here? Do you have a death wish?” Elara angrily scolded him.

Matthew and the others also erupted with righteous indignation, shouting, "Gideon, how dare you break into Mr. Zeller's house? Are you insane? You're done for!"

Everyone hurled accusations at him.

Gideon snorted coldly. "Are you done? If you're finished, get out of here. Stop yapping away at my door. It's annoying!"

Once he finished speaking, he slammed the door shut with a bang.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

What had Gideon just said?

Did he call this place his house?

In an instant, Lavinia became infuriated.

She'd ignored the way Gideon rescinded their engagement back at Oasis Vale. She'd held back when he'd coldly refused to step in at the airport, showing not even an ounce of bravery or sense of duty.

But now, she couldn't tolerate it any longer.

Dominic was her role model, and she specifically came here to meet him in the hopes of convincing him to return to battle. Yet Gideon had shown up here at Dominc's residence and even claimed it was his!

It was preposterous!

Lavinia considered this an insult to Dominic's name and reputation!

"Gideon, get out here right now!" Lavinia demanded, her voice steely as she exploded in fury.

Elara and the others were terrified and quickly retreated, putting distance between themselves and her.

Matthew sneered. "Gideon's screwed now. Ms. Mosley is definitely going to punish him. She might even cripple

him."

The others agreed, gleefully gloating over the situation.

Though Elara was furious, a thought struck her. "How had Gideon gotten into Mr. Zeller's villa in the first place? Isn't there something fishy about that?”

Matthew said, "It's simple. Beaker Island is a restricted area, so perhaps Mr. Zeller never expected anyone to break in. The villa probably wasn't even locked. Gideon must've seen it unlocked and snuck in."

"That makes sense," someone else piped up.

Elara furrowed her brows in thought.

Matthew laughed. "Ella, you can't seriously think that this villa belongs to Gideon, right?"

Elara replied, "If Gideon snuck in, then why didn't Mr. Zeller apprehend him? We clearly saw that Rolls-Royce entering Beaker Island."

Matthew looked around but couldn't spot the Rolls-Royce anywhere. "Mr. Zeller must've left again. Otherwise, Gideon wouldn't have the guts to sneak into the villa."

Elara thought about it and realized that this explanation did seem plausible. Meanwhile, Lavinia was still shouting angrily in front of the villa, demanding that Gideon come out. She didn't resort to force because the villa belonged to Dominic, and she didn't want to cause any damage.

"Gideon, you're not coming out, huh? Fine. Hide in there all you want! I'll wait right here! Let's see how you're going to run off when Mr. Zeller returns! He won't show you any mercy. He might even kill you on the spot."

A voice rang out from inside the villa, "You're so irritating!

Lavinia trembled with rage.

Benny and Derek were also furious. "Ms. Mosley, let's just break the door down! Even if Mr. Zeller comes back, he won't blame us for it. After all, we're helping him catch an intruder."

Lavinia shook her head, so the two guards had no choice but to bring over a chair from the car and set it up for her.

Matthew and the others weren't in a hurry to leave. They wanted to see the drama unfold.

Once Dominic returned, he'd open the villa door, capture Gideon, and maybe even execute him on the spot. Now that would be a spectacle.

Time passed slowly.

Inside the villa, Gideon was resting.

As the sun set and night fell, a sudden beam of light shot down from above. A

helicopter appeared, whipping up a strong gust of wind.

"Who goes there?" Benny and Derek shouted, preparing to fire.

The helicopter descended slowly.

A man, tall and imposing, jumped down from it. His mere presence was terrifying.

Matthew and the others were so shaken that they collapsed to the ground in fear, their legs giving way.

"It's Mr. Zeller!" Lavinia exclaimed with joy. Only then did everyone realize who it

was.

This was Dominic, a figure so mighty that he seemed like a god descending from the sky.

Dominic looked around before his gaze finally rested on Lavinia. "And you are?"

Lavinia approached him with smile. "My name is Lavinia Mosley. I'm a newly appointed war hero of Dasovia."

"So, you're Lavinia Mosley, Dasovia's only female war hero I've heard great things about you."

"You flatter me!"noveldrama

"What brings you here?"

Lavinia grew serious. "Mr. Zeller, I've come to ask you to come out of retirement. The situation at the border is critical. Tylland has been restless lately, and I'm not confident in my abilities to quash the conflict alone.

"I hope you'll join me in quelling their ambitions and bringing peace to the frontier!"

Dominic replied, "I'm sorry, but I've already retired. I won't be getting involved again."

Lavinia wanted to say more, but seeing the resolute look on his face, she knew that pushing him further would only backfire on her.

So, she changed the subject. "Mr. Zeller, I've been waiting here for a while, and a thief has broken into your villa."

Dominic was startled.

He knew that Leopold had handled the arrangements, and Leopold would have ensured everything was perfect for Gideon's stay. How could there be a thief? 2

Dominic replied, "I appreciate your concern, Ms. Mosley. Anyone capable of breaking into this villa must be quite skilled. I'll deal with it."

Elara couldn't hold back any longer and said, "He's not an expert of any kind. He's just the washed-up head of a family in decline."

Dominic became even more intrigued.

"A washed-up head of a family in decline, you say? What's his name? Which

family?"

"His name is Gideon Snow, and he's the head of the Snow family from Goldspire."

"Gideon Snow? The name sounds... Huh?"

All of a sudden, Dominic's expression stiffened ever so slightly.

Gideon Snow?

Wasn't that the name of the owner of Oasis Vale, the King of Kings?

So, Gideon had already moved in, and these people had mistaken him for a thief!

Dominic was both shocked and furious, but he kept his composure and sternly said, "I understand. Now leave- immediately!"

Lavinia was taken aback. Why did Dominic's demeanor change all of a sudden?

Nevertheless, since she had a huge favor to ask for him, she was in no position to say anything. While leaving, she shot a look at Elara and the others. They dared not offend Dominic, of course, so they scrambled off as well.

Only then did Dominic walk up to the door, but he was hesitant about ringing the doorbell.

Soon, a voice came from inside, "Come in. The door's unlocked."
