“What do you mean by that?!”Warren snorted coldly, looking at these people with full confidence.“Just now, I received a visit from a person named Nate Lawson, who came specifically from South City. He's from the Lawson family in South Lewis. Just a moment ago, he acquired my company.“Now, my backing is the Lewis family of South City. You can inquire about the Lewises’ background. Currently, they specialize in providing weapon parts to the government.“In other words, I now have a connection with the government. If you dare to make a move against me, think about the consequences yourself.”In the Longford Kingdom, whether one was a commoner or from a wealthy family with hundreds of years of heritage, one would become miserable if the bottom line of the country were to be crossed. These people, upon hearing Warren’s words, were immediately shocked.No matter how bold they were, they did not dare to go against the country.The tattooed man no longer had the arrogance he initia

Inside a private club, there was a conversation taking place.“Governor Zaccone, let me give you a toast. You seem to be getting younger and younger.”Cole raised his glass to a man in his 40s who wore glasses and was polite in demeanor.This man was Nicholas.Nicholas picked up his glass, clinked it against Cole’s, took a sip, and chuckled. “You misspoke. I’m just the deputy. Please be sure to take note of that.”Cole straightened his expression. “You’re joking. The other one’s health has been declining, and I heard he’s retiring this year. Apart from you, who else in Martial City is qualified for the position of governor? So, there's absolutely no issue with calling you the governor now."Nicholas immediately became serious. “Don’t say that again in the future, or I won’t be able to spare you!”Although he said this, the smile in his eyes betrayed his true inner thoughts.Cole nodded repeatedly. “Your correction is well noted.”Cole seemed to have thought of something and pu

"Which real estate company do you work for?" Seth's abrupt question immediately unsettled the woman’s gaze, but she concealed it quite well. Seth, however, still caught onto it. He had some doubts at the start, but he was absolutely certain now. He had no grievances with the woman, yet a somewhat normal person would not taunt him so directly. So, there was only one possibility, and that was that she had done it intentionally—either to keep him here or to delay him as much as possible. The woman might not know where Seth was going, but regardless, delaying him was the goal. The only people who might try to do this or were motivated to do it were those from the real estate companies. He could not think of anyone else. The woman's voice grew louder. "I don't know what you're talking about, but you'd better not try to escape now!"The louder she became, the more it proved her guilt. Seth could not be bothered to care which real estate company she was from. He would settle all of t

Faye smiled bitterly at what Seth said and replied playfully, "Blame it on my natural beauty."Seth laughed heartily and disembarked from the plane. He could feel Faye’s infatuated faze on his figure as he walked away."He's so handsome. So manly too," she mused."Really? Have you ever experienced it yourself?" teased a woman who was a close friend of Faye’s as she approached her with a mischievous grin. Faye's face immediately turned bright red. She started tickling her friend's armpit. "You despicable woman. How dare you eavesdrop on my conversation? I'll get you for this!""Oh no, I'm sorry! Please spare me," her friend pleaded.The two women tussled playfully, creating a lively scene. It was a shame Seth had not been able to witness it.After leaving the airport, Seth hailed a taxi and headed straight for Fred's residence. He still remembered the residential complex Fred lived in. By the time Seth arrived at the neighborhood where Fred resided, it was already past three in

They arrived at Fred's home, which was quite simple and modestly decorated. It was not at all like his status."Please have a seat, young man," Fred said, invigorated. After Seth took a seat, he then personally brewed him some tea. The feeling of being able to do things himself filled him with joy.Once they were both seated, Seth got straight to the point and stated his request. Fred showed his appreciation, saying, "You're quite admirable and straightforward. You do things without hiding anything. That's the true nature of a man."The more Fred looked at Seth, the more he liked him. Seth smiled and said, "You haven't fully recovered yet. I'll stay here for the next five days and nourish your body every day with my inner energy along with the medicine I prescribed. You should be able to fully recover by then."Fred was deeply grateful. "I won't say much more in thanks. Young man, rest assured, I'll make sure you're not treated unfairly."He could not promise any special treatm
