‘The most powerful man in the world? Kill us all in the blink of an eye?’ David was shocked enough to see Mr. Zeb kneel before this man, but after hearing his introduction, he was too terrified to say a word. As the heir of the Gaunts, David was no stranger to such threats. However, all of them ended the same—with the death of those who threatened to kill him.　When he heard Fred threaten to kill the Gaunts for any injuries to Autumn, David had listened with amusement. It never crossed his mind that Fred would make those words come true. Memories of the taunts he made over the phone echoed in his ear, and David wanted to bury himself alive. Elliot was terrified as well. As another heir of the Wyatts, he was aware of what happened to Wyatt. He knew his cousin died because he angered a man the Wyatts should never have.Before Fred’s arrival, he swore that he would not follow in Wyatt’s foolish steps, only to do exactly that. “Good sir! Good sir! Fuck, I’m so sorry! What hav

It was past 10 p.m. and the front yard of the Hans residence was filled with joyous chatter and laughter.Elder Han had been promoted.Theoretically speaking, a man in his 60s was considered a senior in the political field. It was only a matter of time before he would officially retire, and further promotions were rare. They would rather recruit new blood. This unexpected promotion also meant that even when Elder Hans officially retired, the Hans’ social standing would still be higher than it was now. It was an event that called for great celebrations. If not for the fact that Elder Hans was a politician and it would not look good for his image to celebrate grandly, the Hans would have invited countless guests and hung up festive lights to celebrate. “Grandfather, how about some cheese to cleanse your palate? It's Wyke Farms Cheddar. It’s hard to find on the market, you know.” Sookie walked over with a smile when she saw her grandfather admiring the moon above. She put the pla

Fred wanted them to give him an explanation after listening to the recording.What was with that last bit saying that he was fine with either a person or a life?What was the meaning of this? Just who did he think he was?Standing to the side, Grant immediately stepped forward to reprimand Fred when he saw how he dared speak to Elder Hans so presumptuously within his walls.Before he could even say anything, however, he froze. Not only him, but Elder Hans and Sookie as well.“S-So basically, I-I’ve been doing some business with Caesar, the Hans' heir, right? And then his sister, Sookie, called me and offered Miss Autumn to me! Then that bitch said if you came to look for me, then I should just cripple you and then send you to her!”That was David's voice. Lloyd had recorded him. After playing the recording, Elder Hans looked at Sookie pale-faced and asked, "What's going on?""I-I don't know! How would I know what’s going on?”Sookie immediately began to deny and quibble as pa

The night seemed particularly dark over Capital City. The atmosphere was also extremely heavy.The deputy general of the Six Ministries' headquarters of Capital City, Warren, was used to getting off work on the hour once the work day was over. However, he was, at the moment, still in the office despite it being five or six hours past the end of the work day. His ire was directed at one person, and this person was none other than his boss, Leonard!Although Leonard was the general and Warren his deputy, they did not really go against one another like how people in their positions ordinarily did. On the contrary, they always got along like two peas in a pod. Hence, it was rare for Warren to lose his temper at Leonard!Things were different this time, however, as Warren's soaring anger could even be felt by the staff in the next office. "I see how it is, Leonard! The Great One’s arrival in Capital City is such a major event, yet you actually hid it from me?” Warren snorted with an

Finally, he had arrived!Practically the moment the voice sounded outside, joy immediately appeared on the faces of the Hans family members who were shocked by Fred's words just a moment ago.This was because it was obvious that the person who arrived at the Hans residence at this moment was undoubtedly the trump card that the Hans family had obtained from leveraging their connections in Capital City. The way the Hans saw it, regardless of whichever trump card it was, they could easily put Fred to death. Furthermore, the Hans did not have to dirty their hands doing it."Sookie! Your legs!”The first person to enter the door was the eldest son of the Hans family and Sookie's eldest brother, Jordan Hans!He already had a general understanding of the situation when he first arrived but had not dared believe it.After all, who would dare lay a hand on his sister considering she was part of the Hans family? That sounded like hearsay.However, he noticed Sookie’s obviously broken le
