Their eyes remained shut. Moments ticked by, and the anticipated sound seemed to deviate from what they had expected."What's happening?"The voice, laden with anxiety, echoed through the hall, yet it appeared to originate from a different source, distinct from Nolan's familiar tone.A male cry reverberated throughout the entire hall, almost reaching the ears of those outside.The combination of curiosity and bewilderment consumed their thoughts, diverting their attention from the possibility of Nolan's face being injured.Even those who had not closed their eyes all had expressions full of shock. The sight before them rendered them speechless, incapable of uttering even a single sentence.One of the crowd was unable to hold it in. He glanced at his front, before shouting aloud. “He… he wasn't hit, rather it was the other way around. The bodyguard got hit!” Even when everybody tried understanding the quick scene that just happened, they were just dumbfounded. Their brains don't seem
Mr Williams' condition only got worse with the sympathy from the crowd. He never imagined that those who feared him would be showing him sympathy. Due to his wealth and position in high society, he has always given false sympathy to the poor masses. So how could he who sees sympathy as a way of mocking people be calm and accept being sympathized?One of the haters among the crowd saw this situation as an opportunity. The hater moved forward and feigned a concerned voice. “Hey, what's this? Why does Mr Williams suddenly look pale? Is he sick?When everyone heard the loud concerned voice, they looked at Mr Williams immediately.“Yes, yes, his face seems pale. He doesn't look well.”“But why is it like that? He looks perfectly fine before?”Some confused and unaware people thought Mr Williams' pale face was because he was sick. However, among the ignorant ones, they were always the sharp-eyed ones. They quickly noticed the cause of Mr Williams' pale and sweaty face.“Ah, Mr Williams,
All eyes turned to Nolan, who remained indifferent and calm."Shouldn't he be pleased about the embarrassment of Williams?" they all pondered silently.Since his arrival, they couldn't decipher Nolan's demeanor at all.However, unbeknownst to them, Nolan cared little about such matters. The current issue demanded much of his attention, and he was keen to resolve it swiftly to ensure the smooth progression of the event.Elijah stepped forward promptly, sensing Nolan's disinterest in the situation. "Mr. Williams, I believe you have other matters to attend to. You may take your leave now."Maintaining a composed demeanor, Elijah effectively dismissed Mr. Williams with his words.None of the guests dared to protest. While they recognized Elijah's subtle act of sending Mr. Williams away, they chose not to expose him.Mr Williams felt suddenly embarrassed, with his head lowered. He clenched his hands into a fist, with a restraining anger mixed with embarrassment."Do you not think you're be
When the individual on the stage, saw Nolan stunned expression, he spoke again. “Let's welcome the heir of the YEX conglomerate for a brief overview.” Everyone eyes were on Nolan. They were totally lost. One of the crowd found courage, before asking aloud. “Excuse me? But why are you looking at him? Is he the heir?” They could all see the individual on stage glancing at Nolan, so their suspicion couldn't be wrong. However, how could Nolan be the mysterious heir that have been curious about?Nolan coughed slightly to recover his stunned face. He ignored the the curious gazes of the crowd and walked to the stage.While moving forward to the stage, many gazes followed him. Some of their gazes were complex, some held curiosity and perplexity. Nolan footsteps never wavered with the stares. Right under the crowds gazes, he stood on the stage with a calm expression. “Hello everyone.” He greeted, with a clear and composed expression.Elijah who was standing not to far from the stage, move
Knowing he could stay in the hotel, he finally relaxed. “Oh, alright. I guess I should still stay here for some time. Later on, I'll return to the room.” He thought it thoroughly before coming to this conclusion.It won't be good, leaving before the guest leaves. That won't show well of him, so hearing the arrangement of Elijah made him relieved. More and more businessmen came over to greet him.“Mr Nolan, we believe in you. We want you to know that we support you.” One of the businessmen praised him.Nolan glanced at him, he could see the sincerity in his eyes, so he didn't doubt him.Nolan also appreciated, sincerely. “Thank you for your support. I won't fail you all and I also won't fail the YEX conglomerate.” Having greeted and talked to almost everybody, Nolan was finally exhausted. His mind and body seemed exhausted, however he didn't show it on his face.He simply strides back to the receptionist counter. “Hello, I need the key to the presidential suit.”The receptionist glan
Nolan left the receptionist and headed back to his room. Upon arrival, he inserted the key into the door lock, and with a soft 'click', the door swung open, revealing a spacious white room. Its vastness seemed equivalent to the size of six standard rooms, adorned with elegant and luxurious furnishings that could easily rival those found in an ordinary building.As Nolan surveyed the room, his demeanor remain unflustered, displaying an air of expected tranquility. After all, this was the finest presidential suite the hotel had to offer.Appearing fatigued, he unbuttoned his shirt and let it fall onto the plush white bed. Just as he began to undress, a knock echoed at the door. "Who's there? Please, come in," he invited.Given the hotel's high standards, there was little cause for concern about the visitor potentially being a thief or harboring ill intentions.Elijah entered the room upon hearing Nolan's words, his expression grave. "Young master," he addressed Nolan somberly.Withou
When the caller picked up, Nolan spoke first. “I'm leaving now. Come meet me outside of the hotel,” After hearing a confirmation from the other party, he hung up and waited at the customer's seat outside. While on his seat, he saw a blurry figure approaching. “Oh you're here already?” He called out, as the figure became more clear. “Yes, young master. I didn't expect you to leave so early, afterall it was midnight you slept.” Elijah spoke, looking surprised. When he got a call from Nolan saying he was already leaving, he was surprised and perplexed. Nolan smiled, before saying, “I was also as surprised as you're now. I never expected to wake up early despite me sleeping late.” He added, “have your seat.” He pointed at the empty seat, next to him. Elijah glanced at the seat, before doing as Nolan had instructed. “Tell me, why do you want to see me?” He simply went straight to the point. He remembered having a discussion with Nolan at midnight, so Nolan calling him here must
The driver wasn't overly affected by Nolan's words. He merely responded nonchalantly. “Alright sir. I'll be more attentive.” Nolan glanced at him suspiciously. He couldn't continue being angry, afterall the driver has assured even if he was just faking it. He relaxed his head back on the car door, with a not too carefree mind. He was completely alert. The driver's attitude to his driving skills has made him regret ever taking this cab.Even if the cab driver wishes to die, he can, but he shouldn't use his own problem to affect him!Ten more minutes into the journey, Nolan saw the cab stop moving. “Ah, what's it again?” His face was cold, as he wondered the cause of the cab stopping. He faced the driver sternly, “why are you stopping the cab?” If he could reverse time he wouldn't have chosen to enter such a problematic cab like this.The driver didn't say anything, rather he gazed outside, as though he was waiting for someone.Nolan's heart sank. He couldn't help but have the feelin
