Vivian and George watched in fascination as the robotic workers moved actively around the villa, and bright lights illuminated the entire room. Vivian tried pressing several buttons on the villa's smart home system, trying to give commands, but it seemed that all her efforts were in vain."Siri, turn off all the lights," Vivian said. She tried to give commands like Carson did, but they all failed her. Nothing happened. The lights were still on. Even the home system didn't provide any response, not even a small one.Vivian's face turned red, and she looked even more embarrassed. "What is this? Why isn't anything working?" she asked in a frustrated tone, trying to hide her embarrassment. She scratched her head. "Siri, turn off the lights." Again, she tried, but to no avail.George, beside her, looked annoyed and confused too. "Vivian, something seems to be wrong. I can't control anything," she said, feeling desperate."Me too."Vivian wrung her hands, clearly upset and distressed. She t
Vivian and George stood with flushed faces, their hands clenched into fists until their joints bulged. The emotional stress made their hands ache and tremble. Vivian gritted her teeth, her face contorted with burning anger."Why do you dare say that?" Vivian's voice trembled with obvious anger. "I'm your brother-in-law. Why did you threaten to send us two coffins? You're so unethical! There's no reciprocation at all."Vivian's hands were clasped tightly together, and the veins on her temples were clearly visible. George, who was standing beside her, looked at Carson with a hateful gaze, but the two men in black standing behind Carson stopped his steps. If only they weren't there, George would have already lunged at Carson with overwhelming anger, although in the end, he knew he would lose badly."That's right, you really don't know yourself," George added fiercely. "Before, you and your family depended on grandma. Now, you've forgotten about it just because you got a new villa. Rememb
"Why are you so quiet? You're scared, aren't you?" Vivian laughed, looking at Carson with a triumphant gaze. "I knew that my boyfriend's name would scare you. Now you know the caste difference between your family and mine."Carson looked at Vivian with a faint smile that she could hardly hide. She knew the Lee family, though not intimately. The family was part of a relatively influential social circle, and Carson knew their reputation. The Lee family had a debt of gratitude to her. More precisely, it was the head of the Lee family."So, you think a big name is enough to scare people away?" Carson asked, his tone of voice showing no concern. "Interesting."Vivian frowned, confused by Carson's reaction. "You don't understand? The Lee family is one of the most powerful."Carson laughed softly, more sarcastically than happily. "Maybe, but I know very well who they really are. What looks grand from the outside often doesn't always match the reality."Vivian widened her eyes, not understand
As they ascended to the second floor, the sight that opened before Paula's eyes stunned her. Personal gym equipment was scattered across the vast space, the sauna room invited relaxation, and automatic massagers seemed ready to provide comfort. In fact, automatic floor cleaners roll around every corner, adding to the futuristic and practical feel.Paula stood in the center of the room, her eyes sparkling with admiration. She could only shake her head, her mouth clamped shut as if she couldn't find the right words. After a few seconds, she was finally able to utter one word that represented all her admiration, "Amazing.""At this rate, I won't have to go to the gym for pilates and yoga. This is amazing," Paula said enthusiastically. She touched the exercise equipment as if she couldn't believe what she saw. The gym is very spacious and equipped with all the necessary exercise equipment. This is not just a middle-class gym but a luxury facility often found in big malls.The man in black
Once Charlotte was satisfied with the pictures, they continued the tour of the main rooms. The man in black led them to Carson and Alison's room. A large, high-quality wood door revealed a luxurious and elegant space.Inside the room, they were greeted by a stunning interior. The bedroom had a king-size bed with a white mosquito net hanging gently. High-quality linens and fluffy pillows adorned the bed. Next to the bed is a side table with an elegant nightlight, and a large window showcases the stunning outside view of the garden at the back of the house.One corner of the room is devoted to a lounge area with a comfortable sofa and coffee table. On the other side is a large dressing table with a gold-framed mirror and a cushioned chair. The floor is covered in thick carpeting, providing extra comfort when stepping on.Alison and Paula looked mesmerized as they explored the room. Alison approached the large window and looked out in awe. "This is amazing, Carson. This room is so beauti
Carson glanced back and saw Vivian contacting someone on her cell phone. Although Carson did not know for sure who Vivian was contacting, he assumed it was the Lee family. Carson smiled a little, feeling interested in the possibilities that were unfolding."Come on, let's move on to the next room," invited the man in black in a calm tone. All eyes were on Carson, who had been silent as if he was thinking about something important."You guys go ahead! I have something to take care of first. I'll catch up," Carson said in a firm but gentle voice. Paula, Alison, and the two men in black exchanged glances before nodding. They finally entered another room, leaving Carson alone in a quiet room. Once everyone had left, Carson took out his cell phone and quickly searched for the Lee family patriarch's number.Carson pressed the call button. The phone on the other end was picked up in a firm and authoritative voice in just one second. It was the head of the Lee family who picked up. Of course,
On a busy street corner, Carson sat on an old wooden bench. In front of him, the chessboard was spread out with great tension. This street was quite crowded today, mainly because of the chess game that attracted attention. Someone never lost and was arrogant. People gathered there to watch that person fail.Several people had tried and were always defeated. The man's arrogance was getting higher and higher. He even went as far as mocking everyone there as 'fools'. That annoyed people even more, but no one dared to come forward because they didn't trust him.Suddenly, someone raised his hand and sat on the chair. That person was Carson, and now Carson would fight intelligence through street chess. That instant, all hopes were on Carson to slap the man's face in defeat.The man had dishevelled hair and was dressed in shabby clothes, looking very confident. He was a local chess player known for his disdain for others. In contrast, with his calm gaze and peaceful face, Carson looked as if
"Checkmate," Cason said firmly.The crowd began to cheer. Some people started cheering Carson with admiration. The sense of satisfaction within them overflowed. This was what they had been waiting for. The opponent stood with a flushed face, disappointed and in disbelief. He thought for a long time that this was his first defeat here."Impossible. How can that be?" he complained.Carson, with a satisfied smile on his face, addressed the applauding crowd. "Sometimes, in a game like this, not everything that seems obvious is the truth. Looking foolish and losing will make you win in the end."The man stared in surprise at Carson. He felt Carson was not that genius and smart, from his posture. Carson looked like a handsome, muscular man who had no brains. Expectations are very different from reality because Carson is actually a genius. He was a general, and strategising was common in his life.After a tense chess match ended. Tense at the beginning because Carson deliberately looked los
