"You should make the most of this opportunity, Brody. My supervisors and I are watching and assessing you. If you show sincerity, hard work, and great ability, you might get a chance to join the army on the recommendation track," Althon said. "You're too fussy! I know what I have to do," Brody snapped. "Alright, I'll go now." Althon walked to the car. "You must ensure you're alive when I return to this building."Brody chuckled, glancing at the two bodyguards beside him. "Damn! He left me with these two shitty guys."The car left the courtyard, speeding down the highway. "You have training in half an hour. Don't be late, or you'll be severely punished," one of the bodyguards said."Are you two going to train me today?" Brody asked."No, you will meet some of our colleagues. They will train you." The bodyguard left with another bodyguard. Althon called Anthony, talking for a while until he finally hung up. "Grandpa looks well."Anthony gave Alan the phone, lying down on the bed. He

"Alvin, Kevin," Randy, Ronald, and Max said as the two men approached. They sat on the chairs, glancing at each other. "How did you guys meet?" asked Randy as he looked at Alvin and Kevin. "I thought I'd just meet you, Alvin.""Kevin and I work in the office across from each other. I met Kevin when he saved me from an accident a few minutes ago," Alvin replied. "Tell us what happened to you guys?" Ronald pulled the chair forward, leaning towards Alvin and Kevin. "Look at you two now. You guys... look thinner than before. Are you guys okay?""You had us very worried. You didn't take our calls or return our messages. Your family even kicked us out when we visited the ward. It made us very angry and frustrated," Max said. Randy looked at Alvin and Kevin, who were grunting in annoyance. "I want to hit you guys, but I'm sure you have the reasons behind your actions."Alvin and Kevin were silent. Their supervisors had warned them not to mention Sean Ruild's punishment. Alvin let out a l

"Dad, what should we do if Grandpa hands over the heir status to Uncle Arnold?" asked Andrew. Aaron clenched his fists tightly. "Arnold does have a great chance of gaining heir status, but I also have the same chance. My father knows that Arnold is very ambitious and won't hesitate to do anything to get his way, especially since he was the mastermind of the events that killed Arthur and his family.""Uncle Arnold could do the same to us, Dad. We need to be very wary of him," Andrew said. "You're right, Andrew. We must find a way to eliminate Arnold, Alex, and Albert. We have to make sure the inheritance rights go to us." Aaron looked around for a moment, gripping both of Andrew's shoulders. "We also have to watch out for Andy and Alfie. I'm sure they won't stay silent.""Listen to me, Andrew." Aaron looked at Andrew without blinking. "You must not be careless with your cousins. It would help if you forgot your blood ties to them when dealing with them. All this is for the sake of our

Randy, Ronald, and Max arrived in Asthonia at night. They looked tired from the long journey. However, they were happy to meet Alvin and Kevin. "Alvin and Kevin are still hiding some facts about their punishment. But I'm glad they are doing well," Max said. Ronald chimed in, yawning a few times. "Alvin and Kevin nearly bankrupted their family, so they got a harsh sentence. I think my father and family will do the same for me.""We'll just have to wait for them to finish their sentences." Randy drove faster, pausing when he saw Alicia at his gate. "What does that woman want?"Ronald and Max looked at each other.Alicia waved a hand, wiping away tears repeatedly. "Randy! Ronald! Max!"The car pulled up in front of the gate. "What do you want, Alicia?" asked Randy, breathing deeply.Alicia approached. "Did you guys meet Alvin?"Randy pondered for some time. He had thought Alicia would follow him like the other day. However, his assumption was wrong. He didn't get any reports from his

"I can destroy you and your family if I want, but I'm still giving you and your family a chance. If I order Sean to destroy your family now, then less than a minute later, your family will be destroyed. Do you think I'm joking right now, Alvin?""Please don't do that, Althon. I would do anything for you." Alvin ventured to look up. "I beg for your mercy.""Stand up now!"Alvin scrambled to his feet even though he almost fell. "I'll give you a chance if you do as I ask you, Alvin.""I will, Althon. I mean, I'm willing, sir.""First, you must keep my true identity a secret from everyone, including your family. Second, you must not mention my name when you meet the Leander family. Third, you must call me 'Lord' when with me. Fourth, you and your descendants must forever swear loyalty to me and all my descendants. You must do my every command without the slightest protest."Alvin was silent for a moment, hurriedly bowing. "I am willing to carry out all your terms, Master. I will devote m
