"Alright, the meeting ends here. You may all leave now," Nicholas announced in the meeting room. He now occupied the position that used to belong to Fred. Many proposals that Fred had initially rejected were now getting approved under Nicholas' authority.Fred's son, Henry, was infuriated. However, he knew he could not contest Nicholas' power with his own. He had no choice but to endure it all silently. Nicholas could not help but feel triumphant when he saw Fred's angry expression. He now held almost all power within the organization. He believed himself to be the ruler of Martial City, and anyone who dared to oppose him would face dire consequences.However, just as he was feeling triumphant, the door suddenly swung open. Everyone turned their gaze toward the door with expressions of disbelief. Nicholas, in particular, had stood up from his seat. A wide range of emotions reflected on his face. Everyone watched in astonishment as Fred walked in, standing tall and healthy with no

Her questions left Hannah absolutely puzzled. Even Seth did not know how to respond. "Young man, don't be shy. Tell me. I'm very open-minded. I’ll agree to your relationship as long as you're honest and not idling your life away," Hannah's mother continued. "You don't need to earn a lot of money. After my husband and I retire, we’ll have a substantial amount of monthly pension, so you won't need to support us in the future."She kept going, "Hannah is now working an important position, so she has pretty good income too. As long as both of you work hard, you’ll be able to live a good life.”Hannah covered her face with her hands, feeling extremely embarrassed. Her mother's interpretation of her reaction made it even worse.Seth found himself saddled in an awkward situation. He had to clarify himself, "Madam you've got it all wrong. I met Miss Logan for the first time today. I’m here to treat the governor.”Hannah’s mother paused, then replied, "What illness? Oh, by the way, wher

Henry was awkward as he said to Seth, "My daughter is now in her senior year and the rebellious stage. Besides that, she has a lot of academic pressure. That's why she behaved like that. Please don't mind her."Seth smiled. "It's alright. Let's eat."He had no intention of arguing with children.Henry's mother kept helping Seth with food at the dinner table."Here, have a German pork knuckle."This spicy beef stew is pretty good."Here, have a chicken drumstick."...Soon Seth's plate was piled high with food.Hannah pouted at the sight and said bitterly, "Mom, why did you keep helping him with food? What about me? Am I not your baby anymore?""Yes, I don't love you anymore. You can be my baby again when you come home with a boyfriend. Otherwise, don't talk about it."My daughter has always been obedient and hardworking in her studies since she was little. She has never hung out with delinquents or even went to a nightclub. How come such a nice girl can't find a boyfriend?"

"Sure, sure, where are you taking me?"She had never experienced the dangerous world outside. When she heard that her online friend wanted to take her somewhere, she agreed without hesitation.Seth shook his head.The girl was either too innocent or foolish. She was not vigilant at all.Something flickered in the man's eye, and the man led Elaine up the road.After a short walk, they reached a rather run-down house.Elaine blinked her eyes. "Where is this? It looks a little creepy.""This is a great place. Come with me. I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised."Hearing the guy say so, some expectation instantly appeared in Elaine's eyes as she followed him inside.The guy opened the iron door, leaned sideways, and gestured with a ‘please’ motion to Elaine."Please come in, my goddess.""Who's your goddess? You're so annoying."Elaine said happily as she walked in.However, her expression changed as soon as she went in.Inside were eight or nine teenagers in strange clothe

Upon learning that Elaine was the granddaughter of Martial City's magistrate, the young men crumbled.They basically answered whatever Seth asked, not daring to hide anything."We work for a guy named Nathan. He's a powerful man who has a security company, with hundreds of people under his command. We're just a few of his lackeys."Seth found a stool and sat down.Elaine stood obediently behind him.She only felt safe standing next to Seth."Get him to come over, no matter what you do. Remember, don't make him suspicious."One of the young men gulped. "I'll call him. I'll call him."He immediately took out his phone to make a call and put it on speaker.The line got through on the second ring, and a rough voice said. "Little bastard, what do you want?""Nathan, are you busy right now? We found a beautiful girl today."She has fair skin, long legs, and is very pure. The key is she's still a virgin. We don't dare to enjoy her alone, so we want you to have the honor first.""R
