Christian’s gaze was as sharp as a land ready to skin Orion alive.“What exactly do you mean? Don’t play games with me because I’m not in a good mood right now!” Christian exclaimed, his voice low but menacing.Orion wasn’t afraid of Christian at all, although the changes within Christian were glaringly obvious. Especially with the stories circulating about Christian’s highly skilled martial arts prowess. Perhaps he was accustomed to seeing Christian as a useless man, a son-in-law of the De Delta family.Instead, the man turned his gaze towards Altus. Then, with a serious expression, he said, “It seems you need to be reminded of the person who brought you to this point. Perhaps just one name I’ll mention, Reginald Demetri. I’m quite sure you know him.”Boom!What Orion said truly shocked Christian. He then wondered how Orion knew about Reginald and what his connection was to Altus.“So, you mean Altus and Reginald are connected? What’s their relationship? And how do you know?” Christi

This time there was no longer any reason for Orion to deny the fact that Christian was a member of the Demetri Family. Instantly, he fell silent and dared not speak anymore. He knew very well the risks involved—if he spoke out of turn, he would face death.Altus then turned back to Christian. “Initially, when I first arrived, I was determined to carry out Reginald’s orders because for me, following the orders of the Demetri Family leadership was something I had to do well. But when I first met you, I had a feeling that gradually eroded my resolve to carry out my duties, and eventually, I no longer wanted to follow his orders and chose to be on your side to claim what rightfully belongs to you—the throne of the Demetri Family.”Christian was amazed by Altus’ thought process. He considered Altus’ decision to defend him as an incredibly brave move.“I’m sure you’re wondering about my reasons for making this decision. Let me give you one reason, although one reason is more than enough: it

Reginald’s anger soared high upon hearing what Altus had said. He couldn’t accept being belittled like that by Altus.In response to Reginald’s anger, Altus remained calm. He wasn’t provoked by the anger, but he responded with gentleness.“That’s what I see, Sir. Initially, I also thought that Mr. Christian would never be able to accept the will given by the grandmaster and also lead the family. But after I met him and saw firsthand his nature and attitude, I changed my mind. And this time, I am very sure that Mr. Christian is capable of replacing the grandmaster’s role in leading the family,” Altus said confidently.“Hahaha... you are too naive, Altus. Someone like him, who grew up in an orphanage, will never be able to lead a family as big as it is. Managing a family as big as the Demetri family and also managing a company as big as Big Consortium Corporation is not easy and cannot be equated with leading a gang. You must be able to distinguish that,”“So, it’s better for you to thi

Christian was truly puzzled by Yve’s question. He now tried very hard to rack his brain for an answer to the difficult question.“It’s all because Altus chose to resign and become my follower rather than staying with Reginald. So the Canadian felt like I was someone who took Altus away. You know the strength that Altus possesses. Even I, as Reginald, wouldn’t be willing to lose Altus, even though I wouldn’t do the same thing he did,” Christian said with a serious expression.Yve furrowed her brow. Her gaze pierced Christian’s eyes as if searching for the best piece of meat to cut. It was quite intimidating.For Christian, Yve’s sharp gaze was terrifying, far more frightening than the enemies he had faced before.“Is that the only reason? Isn’t it too much?” Yve asked.Christian quickly shook his head. Then he said, “It might seem excessive when you think about it, but actually, it’s something normal, especially for someone as extraordinary as Reginald.”Slowly, Yve’s expression began

No matter what, Larina was just Orion’s aunt, even if it was his mother who came in at times like this, Orion would still feel embarrassed and annoyed.“Alright, I’ll change my clothes first, Aunt, don’t look back!” Orion said.“Fine. Besides, who wants to see you like that! So full of yourself!” Larina retorted.After that, Orion quickly put on his clothes, seeming rushed.“I’m done, Aunt. You can turn around now,” Orion said.Quickly, Larina turned around. She approached Orion with a cheerful expression on her face.“Do you know what I have for you? You’ll surely be happy with what I’ve brought,” Larina said with a wide smile.Orion furrowed his brow, asking, “What did you bring, Aunt? Nothing weird, right?”Larina immediately covered her mouth and put on an annoyed expression after hearing Orion’s question.“Your mind is always so negative! For once, try to think positively, so your mind can be healthy!” Larina snapped.For some reason, she was easily provoked this evening. Perhaps
