Chapter 976:
Although Derek couldn't quite grasp the source of Foley's sudden confidence, he felt an uneasy chill crawl down
his spine. A sense of crisis loomed over him.
He had no doubt that if Foley ever gained real power, he would crush him without a second thought. Foley was
as ruthless as they came.
But Derek knew he couldn't afford to show weakness or fear in front of him. He had to maintain his composure,
stand tall, and hold his ground. He couldn't let Foley see him falter.
So when Foley finished speaking, Derek forced a smile of his own and shot back, “Oh, so you're about to rise to

“Hold on a second, Foley,” Derek called out, stopping him as he was about to leave.
“Just a reminder—don’t harbor any ill intentions toward me. Don’t pushtoo far. One day, I'll be someone you
can't afford to mess with.”
Derek was unaware of the powerful ally Foley was seeking, but he was on the brink of establishing a connection
with the chief instructor of the Doomsday Base, Black Mallow. In Blebert, the only person who could challenge
the chief instructor was Connor.
Foley had longstanding conflicts with Connor and would never betray their father to side with him.
