181: Strange Italic Writings
"How about we observe this stock for a week? Just a week. If nothing happens like I assumed, then I'll admit I was wrong and you have a choice to choose any penalty for us."The directors turned to each other and thought about it. It isn't bad. Just one week.Levi waited for their response although he knew his proposal was enough for them to remain calm for a while.After some minutes of deliberation, they turned to him. "Fine, we will give you just one week's ultimatum.""But if the stock crashes like I said, isn't it fair to promise something in return?" Levi twirled his shades around his fingers slowly as his calculative gaze went from one director to the other.They didn't request this but then retorted, "If it really does crash, we won't counter the young missus' decisions on stocks anymore."Levi smiled lopsidedly. Just what he wanted to hear. "Good then we'll wait and see. This meeting is adjourned to next week. Good day."The meeting was dismissed and everyone dispersed. Howev

182: Strange Italic Writings<II>
When Levi opened the safe box, he found the book just as he left it. He brought out the book and sat back on the bed.Glancing at the image on the book that was exactly like his ring, he flipped the pages open easily.The book was filled with italic writings of a strange language that he surprisingly couldn't read.His brows furrowed as he went through a line of sentence in the book and confirmed he couldn't understand the language.But ever since he got the ring, he had been able to read, hear and speak different languages, why couldn't he read this one?It was really surprising. He went through other pages and surprisingly it was the same thing.He was exasperated, 'How am I not able to read this?'He pulled at his ring and wondered if he had worn it the wrong way but when the object wouldn't even come off, there was no way to find out.So he returned the book and kept the safe box the same place as before."I am certain those inscriptions are about the book but why couldn't I under

183: Luis Is Hospitalized
The conference room was silent for a minute as everyone waited for the director's decision. If he was going to leave or swallow his pride and remain in the meeting.Levi didn't bat an eyelid when the director cowered in front of everyone and took his seat. The projector displayed some words immediately indicating the commencement of the meeting.But before Levi could talk, the directors spoke up. One said, "This time you saved us and it was our mistake for choosing to believe other analysis mindlessly. Thank you."Another affirmed, "Young master, we owe you and the boss lady a huge thanks for averting that crisis.""From today onwards, I won't counter the boss lady's decision on our stock investments. She knows best.""Yes, we won't make the same mistake twice."Although there was no reaction on Levi's face, his eyes curved with smiles behind his shades and he nodded.Through the stock mishap, he has managed to at least gain the trust of most of the directors. This means Brooklyn woul

184: So Gullible
When Levi got to Luis' VIP ward, the latter was throwing a fit and there were some unpleasant guests with him.Levi frowned at the sight of Larry Rockefeller standing beside Yolanda. It was an image of an ideal family gathering."I told you to take these away! I'm not ill! I don't need them!" Luis yelled at the poor nurse carrying a tray of fruits for him.If it wasn't because he was confined to the hospital bed, he would have surely pushed the nurse.Larry stepped in, acting like a peacemaker. "Uncle, don't be upset. These fruits are meant to revitalize your lost strength. You will be out of the hospital in no time.""Yes Luis, listen to what Larry has said. The money you lost in that investment isn't worth losing your health over," Yolanda pulled her chair closer to his bedside and spoke just like a typical doting wife would."If uncle wants, I can refund all you have lost in the investment after all, I was the one that encouraged you to invest. I only hope uncle forgives me. I was

185: Run Into Death
After half a day of being ignored, Lincoln couldn't take it anymore. He directly marched up to Levi who had acted like he was invisible ever since he came to the ward."You... Are you so cold-blooded? We are still family after all. Can you quit acting like a block of ice?" Lincoln pointed at him exasperatedly.May, who had long since noticed something was wrong between the cousins, slowly shrunk backwards into the book she was studying, hoping to make her presence less noticeable.Her fragile heart couldn't take two men with god-like appearances together in one room not to mention witnessing their strife.Levi gave Lincoln an indifferent gaze but finally spoke to him, "Why haven't you left San Jose yet?""You... are impossible!" Lincoln gritted his teeth. He didn't think when this brat would finally speak, he would choose to say these words.He turned his attention to Thomas who was sleeping on the bed and voiced out his suggestion,"Let uncle return home. We have skilled family docto

186: Death And Beyond
"Do you know anyone by the name Lloyd?" Micheal dropped the cup on the terrace and turned to her. "Think. He is the one that made the headlines by acquiring those three print media companies."Zoey's eyes widened. She had heard the news of the Chronicles, NewsQuill and the Continental Times being acquired within a short period of time by one person.It caused quite a sensation but she didn't follow up the news. Now hearing the unknown buyer is named Lloyd, she didn't know how to react.Seeing her lack of response, Micheal let go of her and tugged his hair."I don't understand how I offended him. I have never even had any sort of association with anyone named Lloyd. Who could he be?""Could it be—" Zoey made a wild guess and shook her head. It couldn't be. But Micheal urged her, "Did you remember someone?""Yes but it couldn't be," Zoey stroked her tummy with a puzzled look. "Remember my good-for-nothing husband.""The one who is now married to Brooklyn Hernandez?""Yes," Zoey nodded.

187: Once And For All
The car was in the water and could no longer be controlled. James lifted his hands off the steering wheel and made eye contact with Levi.The car was sinking at a terrifying speed with no sign of stopping. Cold sea water was seeping in and threatening to cover their mouths and noses.James understood Levi's silent signal and began to reach towards the neck pillow of the car seat. There was still a way to save themselves.Levi patted Lincoln's face and his eyes flickered open. He struggled to say, 'I'm fine' but the sea water flooded his senses and that horrifying terror was back.Seeing him falling out of consciousness, Levi decided this won't happen. The deeper the car sank, the higher the water pressure would be. They had to break out of the car and he had to save Lincoln before he went completely limp.If only this stubborn rascal had agreed to leave San Jose earlier, he wouldn't be caught up with him in this mess.Levi reached forward and assisted James in pulling the small pillow

188: Autopsy Reports
"Boss," James walked up to Levi as soon as he stepped out of Lincoln's ward. Thankfully, the rascal wasn't in a severe situation and they managed to revive him.He couldn't handle the shock underwater and had fallen unconscious according to the doctor. They also got out the excess water that had managed to flow into him so he was now safe and sleeping."There's news from the autopsy," James handed over a file to Levi. "They found traces of illicit hard drugs in the chauffeur's body system and suspect he died of a cardiac arrest."Levi didn't look at the file. He had little sympathy for the man that almost got them all killed. What was more important now was—"Did you manage to find out his identity? Who hired me? Where was our chauffeur when the car was being tampered with?""Sir, our chauffeur was found knocked out in a pool of blood in the garage by some security guards. He is currently being treated and isn't in a state to explain what happened. The hospital's CCTV system has also

189: Exclusive News
The next morning, Levi had to attend an early meeting with CEO Davis, the acting CEO of the Chronicles.Every employee was now used to the new change of ownership and didn't dare act towards Levi like they used to in the past. He was welcomed with utmost respect and led to the top floor where CEO Davis was waiting for him."Good day, young master. I apologize for not receiving you. I was on a call," Davis greeted politely.Levi shook his head to indicate it was nothing and took a seat. Davis arranged some paperworks in front of him."Sir, here are the monthly reports from each department like you requested. It has already been audited and only needs your approval."Levi nodded and picked up a file. He sat back leisurely and flipped through the pages.A secretary walked in with a cup of coffee on the tray and set it down but Levi paid no attention to this. Davis walked around the table and gingerly informed him."Young master, there is a little issue with a case in the investigative de

190: Call Me Cousin
"Old master, it's been confirmed. The man was dead before he was brought out of the water," An inked huge man walked into the bedroom where Noah Lloyd was meditating on a mat gingerly.There wasn't an immediate response because of this but the man waited patiently.After some minutes, Noah opened his eyes and looked at him. Receiving this sharp gaze, he continued his words, "Old master, the young master Lincoln was also in the car when the incident happened."Noah's eyes darkened and a scowl appeared on his face. "Why hasn't that little bastard left San Jose yet?""Thankfully, he is out of danger and currently at the hospital."Noah facepalmed and stood from the mat."I want you to find out what my nephew is doing here. I don't believe my father would let him stray in this foreign city all alone for too long. He must have come for an important reason. Find out what it is.""Understood sir," The man nodded his head.Noah stroked his beard. Before he didn't care what Lincoln was doing h
