"Nonsense!" Hector knocked away the knife offered to him. "I know Natasha very well. She would never do anything like this! There must have been a mistake!"When Hector heard that his daughter was in trouble, he immediately rushed home. He didn't expect to be met with such a hostile scene as soon as he stepped inside.Were they going to enforce the house law? Who dared to enforce the house law while the head of the family was away? "Uncle Hector, it's impossible to know a person truly. Character is nothing in front of riches." Dylan shook his head and continued, "The treasury was robbed, and only you and your daughter have the keys. If it wasn't Natasha, was it you, then?""Nonsense!"Hector glared at Dylan and exclaimed, "As the family head, I consider myself upright and honorable. I would never do anything that harms our family!""Well, that's certainly unusual. If it wasn't you or Natasha, was it a ghost who did it?" Dylan asked sarcastically.The crowd was doubtful upon
"What?" Upon seeing the man, both Hector and Natasha frowned. They started to worry. "Uncle Hector, you should recognize this man, right?"Dylan walked around the attendant. "I caught this guy as he escaped with the treasures. "After a thorough interrogation, he confessed and admitted to his crimes. The key to the treasury is the evidence.""Hey! What are you still standing around for? "Hurry up and tell us the truth. This is your last chance to redeem yourself!" Kate stepped forward and kicked the attendant."It's not me … I had nothing to do with it!" With a thud, the man fell to his knees before pointing at Natasha. He groveled as he cried out, "It was all Miss Natasha's doing! She ordered me to do it. "I was just following orders. I don't know anything. "Please, I beg you, spare my life!""What are you talking about? When did I ever order you to do such a thing?" Natasha looked serious."Ms. Natasha, we have been exposed. There's no point in denying it. "You mi
"What? You're stepping down as the family head?" Hector's words caused the crowd to panic. Since he became the family head, Hector worked diligently and tirelessly to manage the family. He had kept everything in order.While no one in the entire family dared to challenge his authority, they found it hard to accept that he was stepping down. "Dad! All of this happened because of me. "I should be the one being punished, if ever. There's no need for you to bear the blame!" Natasha started to panic. If Hector stepped down from his position and handed over all his assets, decades of her father's hard work would be ruined.After that, they would be left with nothing and no chance to turn the situation around."Shut it! It's not your place to speak!" Hector turned back and roared.Power, status, and money were nothing to him compared to his daughter."Hector, are you sure about this?" Trent's eyes shone with delight before he regained his composure."Hector, resigning from the r
"Considering that this is Natasha's first offense, and she has shown timely remorse, we can spare her from physical punishment."However, Trent suddenly added, "But the family has suffered significant losses, and you must make amends. "Here's the deal: if you hand over the formula to Immortunol, I'll forget today ever happened.""The formula to Immortunol?"Natasha furrowed her brows and refused immediately, "Never!"She hadn't committed any crime. They had only given in to alleviate the situation. She couldn't believe they were pushing their luck and targeting the formula to Immortunol. Their greed knew no limits!They knew that the formula was an invaluable treasure. Even if Natasha gave up all her assets, she could still make a fresh start as long as she possessed the formula."Natasha Harmon! Uncle Trent is giving you a chance. Don't be ungrateful!" Dylan shouted."Hmph! You'll face our house law if you don't hand over the formula. Let's see how you fare then!" Kate look
Natasha felt butterflies in her stomach as she basked in Dustin's domineering presence. His glare was sharp. They were intense and fiery. She felt pleased to be protected by the man she loved. "You son of bitch! It seems you won't understand how powerful we are until we teach you a lesson!"Kate erupted into anger as she yelled, "Take him away!" As soon as she spoke, a dozen Harmon family guards charged forward. Each of them exuded murderous intent as they approached with sharp gazes."The audacity!" Before Dustin could act, Cornelius had transformed into a ghostly shadow and shot across the heads of the crowd. With a graceful backflip, he landed confidently in front of the guards.A loud explosion was heard as he launched a palm strike from a distance. A powerful divine aura surged like a wave, knocking over the guards to the ground.The lingering force became a fierce gust of wind, forcing the rest of the Harmons to stagger backward. They couldn't keep their eyes open.A
As he got closer, Dylan whipped around and threw a heavy punch at Cornelius.Just as his punch was about to make contact, Cornelius raised his hand and caught his fist.A large bang sounded from the impact. The divine aura that Dylan wrapped around his punch broke on the spot. It was so fragile as if it was made of paper."What?" Dylan was shocked. He hadn't expected Cornelius to grab his aura-wrapped punch so easily."Is this all you've got?" Cornelius looked at him in contempt. With a slight twist, a cracking sound was heard, and Dylan's wrist was broken."Ahh—!" His painful shriek was cut short by a kick from Cornelius. Dylan was sent flying across the room and slammed onto the wall. He bled from both his nose and mouth.The Harmons looked at the scene in shock.Dylan's martial skills were acknowledged to be the best out of them all. He even surpassed the leader of the shadow guards. No one in the Harmon household could match him.Seeing such an expert being defeated b
Late that night in Zephyr Lodge, Dustin told Hector. "Mr. Harmon, your wounds have been treated. You'll be fine after a few days of rest."After dressing up the wounds, Dustin gave Hector a Haemoplenish to boost his health. Fortunately, the three stabs hadn't hit any vital organs. Otherwise, it would have been a pain to treat."I appreciate your help tonight, Dustin. Thank you." Hector smiled at him, looking pleased with Dustin. Somehow, he had already taken Dustin as the best candidate for his son-in-law."You're welcome. It's not a big deal at all."Dustin smiled as he asked, "Mr. Harmon, I'm just curious. You certainly can take charge of the situation and put them in their place. Why did you have to stab yourself three times?"Hector was still in command of the shadow guards. Nobody would have been able to retaliate if he had taken more drastic means to control the situation. Then, he wouldn't have to end up the way he did now—powerless and poor. "It's clear that things
The Harmons have strived for over a hundred years to get where they are now. If Natasha were to start over, it would be tough on her."Don't worry, Dad. I have confidence in succeeding when it comes to business." Natasha was sure of herself."What are your plans?" Hector asked."I don't see much potential in Millsburg. I plan to go to Oakvale. I'll make it big there with Immortunol," Natasha declared in high spirits."Oakvale?" Hector's brows pinched together. "But you don't have any connections in Oakvale. I'm afraid things will be hard for you there.""Dad, have you forgotten that Grandfather works in Oakvale? Nobody will dare mess with me with him there!" Natasha chuckled."Seems like you've already thought things through." Hector nodded with relief. "If that's the case, I wish you all the best." With Natasha's abilities and full support from Mr. Ballard Senior, it would be easier for her to set up a new company in Oakvale and succeed.The Harmon family's future would a
