?Chapter 1270:


    “And no one has the right to stand in his way.” Dani spoke with a calmness that only sharpened the weight of her words.


    Hamilton locked eyes with her impassive face. “You really think you can keep him safe?”


    His words thickened the air, pulling the room into a stifling silence. Dani raised her eyes, catching sight of the army of mercenaries stationed outside the vi.


    Hamilton leisurely lifted his cup, his voice dripping with authority. “Dani, this is not your homnd. This is Oiscoll—a country I carved out with my own two hands.”


    Hamilton fully expected Dani’sposure to crack after hearing that. He waited for fear to flicker in her eyes, imagining she’d finally grasp the weight of his words and tread carefully.


    But to his shock, Dani stayed even calmer than him. She lifted her cup, took a slow sip, ced it down, and smiled—a cool, effortless confidence in her every move.


    “You’re certainly impressive. But would you like to find out if your mercenaries draw their des faster—or if my trigger finger is quicker?”


    No sooner had the words left her mouth than the icy barrel of a ck gun touched Hamilton’s temple.


    The secretary standing nearby froze, his face draining of color. “Oh no, Ms. Harper! Please, don’t be upset! Mr. McCoy was only joking! Your husband is his son—he wouldn’t harm him! You’re all family here. It was just a harmless joke! Please don’t take it to heart!”


    The secretary had turned ghostly pale, beads of sweat glistening on his forehead.


    Dani sat there, the picture of unshakable calm.


    Hamilton, still seated opposite her, regarded Dani with a cold, assessing stare.


    Don’t miss fresh updates on gα?ησν???s?c?m


    Never before had anyone dared press a gun to his head.


    Dani saw right through his fury and smiled. “Well, this is no joke. And just so we’re clear—I don’t find jokes funny. Understand?”


    She kept the gun steady and added coolly, “I don’t care what Cedric choosester. But from this moment on, if even a hair on his head is harmed, I’lle for you, McCoy Group, and everyst person tied to your name.”


    The secretary trembled like a leaf. “Ms. Harper, why are you being so unreasonable?”


    Dani locked eyes with Hamilton, neither side willing to blink first. If Dani ever stood against him, she would be a force even he would fear.


    But if she stood with his heir, she would be the sharpest weapon in his arsenal, capable of wiping out anything that stood in their way. Among all the men in the McCoy family, not a single one could match Dani’s iron will and fearless spirit.


    Hamilton slowly nudged the barrel away from his temple with two fingers before finally speaking. “No need to get so heated. He’s my son; I would never harm him. Dani, I see your stance clearly. So let me ask you—what if Cedric chose toe back to the McCoy family on his own?”


    Hamilton had just shown a rare concession.
