Arthur smiled as he looked at Asta, who seemed out of control. "As I mentioned before," he said.The door suddenly swung open just then, and one of Asta's assistants rushed in. Asta frowned, but before he could say anything, the assistant approached and urgently whispered something in his ear.Asta's eyes widened momentarily, displaying a chaotic mix of shock, disbelief, and anger.Almost instantly, he seemed on the verge of losing his composure. He lunged forward, grabbing a file from Lumie's possession.Lumie raised an eyebrow slightly, but at this moment, she was also curious about what the assistant had said to make Asta so furious and didn't pay much attention.Asta opened the file, and a loose sheet of paper fell to the ground, with several others still in his hand. These papers didn't seem to contain confidential company secrets—just ordinary documents that one wouldn't bother counting.Asta and everyone else were astonished to the point of being unable to stay calm. Stanle

Arthur's words seemed to trigger some kind of unlocking mechanism within Lumie. She became even more frenzied, and her cursed power was anything but ordinary. Fortunately, Arthur had infused his blood into the flames from the beginning, preventing potential complications.Fire and dark mist intertwined, causing the entire floor to tremble from their emitted energy. Arthur looked at Lumie and smirked, "Seems like you want me dead, huh?"Lumie frowned, "That's right. You should be buried here; it's for the best!" Before she could finish, Arthur, with astonishing speed, lunged towards her like a sharp arrow, catching Lumie off guard.Before Lumie could react, Arthur had already grabbed her by the throat and ruthlessly slammed her to the ground. Lumie's hands desperately grasped Arthur's hand around her neck but couldn't break free. She gasped, and as she cursed, a serpent-like curse shot toward Arthur's ne

Lance entered with a severe and somewhat displeased expression. He looked at Arthur and said, "Master, we have a problem."Arthur looked at Lance and asked, "What's the matter?"Frowning, Lance said, "Things were supposed to go as planned, but this morning, the court suddenly reevaluated the feasibility of the case. Asta's case might be indefinitely suspended, and he's only remanded for a week for mandatory legal education."Arthur raised an eyebrow at that, and Michael behind him pushed up his glasses, speaking lightly, "In this case, perhaps we should go straight to court."Arthur tilted his head, looking at him, and smiled slightly, "You're right."Without further words, he stood up and told Lance, "Stay and take care of company matters. Michael and I will go to court."Lance immediately nodded.At this point, Michael and Lance no longer confronted each other. They might still dislike each other, but at least they wouldn't show it before Arthur.Arthur's car quickly rolled away,

"The Minji Meat Processing Plant is a long-established meat processing facility in the city with numerous branches scattered throughout. Naturally, it falls under the influence of the Henry family. To uncover this information, our team has put in considerable effort. They are exceptionally secure, not divulging even the slightest whisper of information." Lance's voice resonated in Arthur's ears as Arthur examined the dossier in his hands, containing information about the Minji Meat Plant.Arthur squinted his eyes, glancing over the details in the file before saying, "Go on."Lance quickly continued, "We've discovered that on a monthly basis, this meat plant supplies a significant amount of meat to the Henry household. The origin and purpose of these meat supplies are immeasurable and cannot be verified. There are no records of such quantities in the plant's computer data."Arthur had speculated a lot about where the harvested children would end up. However, faced with the possibilit

That evening, the Henry residence hosted an unprecedentedly grand feast with a guest list like never before. The invitees were the most prestigious and influential figures in Eldora, along with some influential individuals from other towns who had friendly business relations with the Henry family.Of course, Mr. Adel was also present at the feast, although his mood seemed less than favorable. Despite his emphasis on wealth, he could distinguish between friends and foes. Arthur had assisted him in eliminating the threat posed by Lumie, who was genuinely dangerous. Moreover, at present, even Asta dared not target him.Asta might be facing imprisonment with clear charges this time, but the arrival of General Case threw all their calculations into disarray. They had to admit that they couldn't possibly contend with General Case.Mr. Adel remained contemplative, so when Arthur appeared, he approached to console him, saying, "Don't let this weigh on your heart. General Case solemnly sw
