Claude stepped out slowly. An old man lying on a bed turned his head, noticing the presence of someone coming."Claude?" The old man called out Claude's name.Claude continued to walk closer. His steps stopped when he was right next to the luxurious white bed.Claude looked up at the old man. He watched him and found that the old man's face was ashen. He was Smith Dracena."How is grandfather?" Claude asked in a low voice. He was acting casual, though he wasn't quite happy to see that his grandfather's condition had worsened considerably.He remembered Bruce's words, and at this time, Claude saw his grandfather's poor condition...A coughing sound was heard. The old man seemed to clutch his chest weakly while several devices were attached to his nose and other limbs."Claude?" The voice sounded weak.Claude sat beside him. Claude let out his breath when he saw his grandfather nearby. His grandfather's body was frail."How is grandfather?" Claude asked again.Smith didn't answer. But t

Claude dismounted from his horse. Likewise, Claude helped his mother get off the same horse. On the other hand, Olivia chose to get off by herself because she was good enough at horseback that it wouldn't be difficult for her to get off alone.Claude approached Brandon, who was staring at him. The man wearing a black shirt looked at Claude with a smile. Meanwhile, Claude looked at him with a cold look. "How come you're here, Mr. Brandon?" Claude questioned the man who was suddenly here. Claude looked around. This was a pine forest, and he had come alone. That was something that seemed strange. Claude looked at Brandon with a probing gaze. The man smiled back at Claude. "Mr. Claude, I'm here because I have something to do. Did you know that?" Brandon stopped what he was saying. He pointed down the street. "That's a village, and I've been in that village since yesterday."Claude looked at the street Brandon was pointing at. It was true that it was a road leading to a small village. A

Brandon flapped his hands. His chest rumbled with anger. Meanwhile, the look in his eyes was also very sharp. "Shit! Why is it so hard to get rid of that damn guy." He spoke loudly.An old man who was in front of him lowered his head. He observed his master, who seemed angry at the moment.Brandon exhaled a rough breath. He lowered one leg, and his face looked stern. He was annoyed with what Claude had done all this time. Even the news of Claude becoming the head of the family in the Dracena family and some business developments that were always broadcast on the news made Brandon unable to contain himself."We can't just sit back and bide our time. We need to get rid of that man quickly. But he's very difficult to deal with." Brandon spoke again loudly.The man in front of him looked up at him. "Sir, you take it easy. Didn't we have a plan a long time ago?"Brandon looked at him. Of course, he knew the old plan that his servant was currently talking about. "Yes, you're right. We need

The man was furious and looked at Wendy's face sharply. "You're so insolent. You're just like your ignorant son!" The man shouted loudly, like the sound of thunder that boomed throughout the room. His anger was completely poured out on Wendy at this moment. And he was Brandon. The man's breathing was audible. Even as his face approached Wendy's, Wendy could feel the warmth of Brandon's breath there. And it was obvious that Brandon's eyes were burning red. But of course, he didn't feel scared at all by that stare and anger. Wendy returned the man's sharp gaze. Even though her body and hands were currently tightly bound, she didn't feel afraid at all. Even Wendy's gaze seemed to challenge back the man in front of her."I don't know why you hate my son and me so much. Is it all because of business competition?" Wendy raised one eyebrow. Then she smiled faintly again. If it's because of business competition, I can understand. I will understand that a little." Wendy spoke in a relaxed vo

Claude looked at him coldly. He could see the angry gaze of Bastian, who had been reappearing under the name Brandon."Why are you so surprised? You shouldn't be angry or surprised like that because the one who was pressed was me. The one who came and was in your place." Claude spoke very casually.At this time, he deliberately came to Brandon's place and prepared to retaliate. Claude had been looking into Brandon's true identity until he discovered that Brandon was Bastian. Of course, he was not afraid to fight Brandon.Although Brandon has been getting lessons to become the head of the Dracena family, but of course, Brandon's strength is below Claude's.Brandon snorted. He was still distraught with Claude for the game he had played. Then he spoke, "I'm the one who will win in the end." Brandon patted his chest quite firmly. He prided himself and stood up confidently.Brandon began to play with his fingers. His gaze was so intense that he assumed he was a lion preparing to pounce on
