Samuel was happy with the second investment he received from Scott, so he took Elara and Hannah to lunch at a fancy restaurant. It was supposed to be a private celebration, but he decided to bring Cassian after some consideration."Brother, have you forgotten about me?" Roy suddenly approached Samuel. He did not go home when he heard his brother would have lunch together. "I want to celebrate your victory, too!"This had never happened before, as Roy had always sided with Thomas. His unexpected change of attitude surprised Samuel, signaling a change of heart."Uncle, it's been long since we've eaten together. We haven't even welcomed Elara back from the battlefield. How about we celebrate today?" Hazel joined in with sweet words.Although confused, Samuel happily received Roy and Hazel. "Roy, you've invested in my company. How could I refuse you? You can join us for lunch at Riveria!"To get a table at Riveria, you have to make a reservation in advance. Samuel used some of his savings

Nathaniel was the most surprised by Leon's statement. Before being sent to the battlefield, Leon was a spoiled brat who loved to splurge and had no interest in learning business.After returning from the battlefield, he surprised everyone with his change in attitude. The business, originally uninteresting to him, became his obsession, which he studied for ten hours every day.As a result, he was able to take over his parents' company within a year. Everyone was astonished to find that the spoiled Leon had a brain.When people asked him why he had changed, he replied that his platoon leader had advised him to stand on his own strength."So, Cassian is the leader you told me about?" asked Nathaniel skeptically. Since Leon entered the family business, his position was endangered because his cousin became a good performer.Unexpectedly, Leon was inspired by Cassian, who had annoyed Nathaniel since the beginning of his appearance.Leon nodded and approached Cassian to shake hands. He said

The front tables were only occupied by people from tier-one families, such as the Avians and the Greythorns. This time, the Starlings also joined since they had already leveled up."It's good to see you again," Betsy greeted Dalton, who had mysteriously taken a month off. The rumors that he was seriously ill seemed false since he looked fine.Dalton nodded his head. "I took time off to refresh my mind. But I kept thinking about my hard-working grandchildren, especially Rosalie. That's why I decided to go back to work."Theo was eager to get close to the other tier-one families, so he became friendly with Dalton. "Lady Rosalie handles the GT Group well. I am in awe of her talent. If you have time, I hope we can have dinner together."Compliments are the most essential way to curry favor with influential people. A polite person like Dalton would take the compliment well. That was why Theo opened the conversation by complimenting Rosalie, who was now accompanying his grandfather."Do you

"I need to use the washroom," Cassian said, breaking the tension. He passed the two bodyguards and entered the washroom without glancing at them.Julian soon followed him while the bodyguards were still on edge. They did not know what Cassian would do because his expression was unpredictable."Lord, please forgive my two bodyguards. I didn't tell them to behave like that. If you want, I'll fire them!" Julian explained directly."I do feel it's the right time for you to replace them," Cassian replied while washing his hands. "They dare to go against you. They might betray you one day.""Very well. I will also fire Ava's bodyguards. They have a similar attitude. Do you want to talk to Ava, too?""There's no need to call her. Elara, my assistant, must be talking to her."There was nothing strange about the conversation. The topic was normal. Nevertheless, Julian had to hold his breath because he was too nervous.Cassian glanced at Julian through the mirror and asked, "Did you get any inf

Niall was pleased with Brooks' arrival, thinking the city councilor had come to discuss an important matter with him. He was the police chief in charge of Lumithorn central police station.If anyone important came to the station, it meant they would only see Niall. Rudely, he pushed aside the officers who were blocking his way."You empty brains! Instead of standing around daydreaming like fools, you should be preparing to greet Mr. Brooks!" Niall snapped at the officers before walking over to the SUV.A bodyguard opened the SUV's door. Brooks, an old man with one leg limping, needed help getting out."Sir, let me help you," Niall was not usually so friendly. However, since Brooks was an important person, he could not ignore him.Brooks slapped Niall's hand without saying anything, startling the officers who were standing near the SUV to greet him."What's going on? Isn't the relationship between Chief and Mr. Brooks good?" an officer whispered.If Niall did not have an important visi
