"And..." Joseph continued, "The most important thing is that we can't do illegal business. I've made an agreement with Ardy before, and you've promised me. However, now you dare to do this behind my back. How dare you! Don't expect you to get away.""Stop this cooperation. You will remain here and I will not deal with you for now. I will decide what to do with you after I contact Ardy!"Hearing this, Johanes' face was panicked. Joseph did not allow him to leave. Although he didn't do anything to him now, and he would be even more devastated if Joseph knew the trouble that happened to Ardy, right?Last night, Arthur's plans in the eastern region had already begun. It was impossible for Joseph to contact him.In other words, John could not leave here, and if Joseph heard the news, Johanes would surely die.Johanes hurriedly said, "Mr. Joseph, can't you not do that? My men will be anxious if I don't return. Please let me go first. After that, they will contact Boss Ardy, and then you can
Lucky was a little worried. Jenny and Mr. Barta didn't know Joseph's real identity. If they made trouble for Joseph, they would offend him."Honey, it really has nothing to do with Katty. Why do you even want to complain to your father? I can find another job." Lucky hurriedly suggested.Jenny refuted her husband's words, "How can I hold back this kind of anger? Katty has gone too far in firing you. This time, I can't take it anymore!"Jenny ignored Lucky, and she walked away.Lucky wanted to stop her, but he couldn't. Seeing Jenny walk away, Lucky sat helplessly. He felt a little depressed and complained a little about his incompetence. If he had a few skills, he would have found a good job. And he would never be like this.Lucky sent a message to Jenny in a hurry and told her not to go to Joseph and Katty. On the other hand, Jenny also felt strange when she saw Lucky's message. "Since when did Lucky become so cowardly like this? Why is he afraid of Joseph and Katty?"The more Jenn
All the contents of the box were scattered on the ground.Katty was dumbfounded when she saw this scene."Daddy, what are you doing? Why are you doing this?" Katty stared at Mr. Barta in disbelief, she never thought that her father would suddenly make such a crazy move.Joseph saw the pile of items bought for Katty scattered on the ground, the expression on his face suddenly became exasperated.Joseph squatted down and looked, most of them were broken and could no longer be used.At this moment, Jenny approached and looked at Katty angrily and said, "Katty, I didn't expect you to be such a person, how could you do such a thing!"When Katty heard this, her face was confused, what had she done? "I don't understand what I did to cause you guys to be this upset," Katty said.Hearing this, Jenny smiled and said, "You can still go shopping and buy so many expensive things, but you can't give your brother-in-law a job!""What's wrong with these expensive things? I'm spending money that Jose
Arthur has no other way. Meanwhile, Ardy was now on the verge of death. If Arthur attacked Ardy again, then Ardy would probably die here.Actually, Arthur didn't care about Ardy's death. But for now, he didn't want Ardy to die first, because Ardy was still useful to him."Stop torturing him for a while, get the medical staff to treat him, don't let him die now." Arthur said to his two men while sighing helplessly."Okay." Arthur's two men immediately carried out the order.At this time, Ardy also limped a little when he saw the medical staff coming to treat him again.Arthur looked at Ardy helplessly, and continued to contact the people he had sent to Leeds city. But until now, Johanes could not be contacted at all, and Johanes' confidant could not be contacted either.The other men have been connected, but they don't know what happened, they only know that Johanes and Johanes' men were taken away by a group of people, and they have not returned."What does Joseph want to do? If he d
Joseph was shocked, he didn't expect this to happen.Jospeh was immediately worried, "Is Ardy in trouble? Tell me what happened!"Ben at this time also hurriedly explained to Joseph everything he knew."In that case, the person who previously spoke on the phone with me was Arthur, he was the one who betrayed and arrested Ardy!" Joseph finally knew.Ben also told him about Johanes."Don't worry, I have caught Johanes. He is now being held by my men. I will ask my men to bring him here now." Joseph said directly.Joseph said that and immediately dialed Jacky's number."Hurry up and come in to discuss the plan. Ardy is stuck in this problem, I will definitely help!" Joseph said to Ben and his men who were still kneeling.And to save Ardy, Joseph will do whatever it takes, and is even prepared to use his great martial arts expert to fight Arthur and save Ardy.Elsewhere, Jacky brought John and his men to Joseph's house.However, when about to leave, Johanes suddenly had an idea to escape,
Before leaving for Ardy's villa in the eastern region, Joseph ordered martial arts masters from the Guezz family, members of the G Alliance, and also some from the Shi family to supervise their journey. At this moment, they were already on their way.Then, several trucks suddenly blocked their way."Someone's ambushing us!" Ben reacted immediately upon seeing the truck in front of him.Jospeh looked behind him, and as expected, several trucks full of building materials appeared behind him, blocking the way completely.Joseph and his entourage were currently on a bridge, the front and back roads completely blocked, leaving them with a dilemma.After the trucks were parked, a group of people appeared in the front and back.There were about a hundred people, but it seemed that they were all martial arts masters, and their abilities were very good.Joseph was not too panicked by this, although the number of his men was less, but there were still 40 great members of the G Alliance, who mi
Arthur said to all his men, "The way behind to escape has been prepared. You guys should prepare to take the most precious things with you, and hurry to escape with me."Some of the subordinates here were Arthur's confidants. "Okay!" They nodded immediately after hearing Arthur's words, and hurried to pack up in the hall.Inside the hall, there were many antiques from Ardy's collection. All of them were very valuable. They were busy organizing them. Every item here was a wealth that ordinary people couldn't imagine. But there were some that were too big and not easy to carry away. And while his subordinates were busy packing up these precious antiques, Arthur looked at Ardy while thinking of a solution.According to his original plan, no matter whether Ardy would agree to help him or not, he would make Ardy die.At this time, Arthur's subordinates had finished packing, and brought the items to Arthur's side.And Arthur took the dagger that was at the side and he approached Ardy."Bo
"Boss Ardy is dead." Ben said slowly. His whole face was expressionless, looking a little scary.Joseph was silent. He didn't know what to say at all. His memories with Ardy from the time he knew him until today, constantly popped up in Joseph's mind.Joseph could clearly imagine what kind of torture Ardy had gone through in the past few days. The nails that were pulled out, the body full of wounds, the dagger that was directly pierced into the heart and still not removed. It was too much for Joseph to continue imagining."Quickly close the entire villa and don't let Arthur and anyone from Arthur's coalition army escape." Joseph hurriedly said.Joseph's tone was very flat and calm. "Mr. Joseph, don't worry. I'll do it right away!" Andy replied, then hurried away. A understood the importance of this, he hurried to organize his men to block off the entire villa. If anyone wanted to leave the villa, they would be arrested immediately.Ben rushed to organize to prepare Ardy's funeral.Ar
In the Hospital Corridor The hospital corridor felt eerily quiet, though the sound of medical staff's footsteps and the occasional beeping of machines broke the silence. Joseph sat on a long bench, gripping his phone tightly, his mind wandering far. Occasionally, he took deep breaths, trying to calm himself. Mr. Barta patted his son-in-law’s shoulder. "Katty is a strong woman. Trust me, she’ll be fine." Before Joseph could respond, the cry of a baby suddenly echoed from the operating room. He immediately stood up, his face filled with happiness. The operating room door opened, and a doctor stepped out, removing their mask. "Mr. Joseph?" the doctor called. "Yes, Doctor?" "Congratulations, Mr. Joseph. Your son has been born." Those words made Joseph feel like a great weight had been lifted from him. He couldn’t contain his wide smile. "Thank you, Doctor. Thank you so much!" Mr. Barta raised his hands in the air. "My grandson!" he cheered. Ten minutes later, Joseph w
Then.... The sound of rapid gunfire echoed through the air! Joseph stood motionless, calmly waiting amidst the chaos. Heavy footsteps reverberated across the room. Members of the G Alliance emerged from the front door, their rifles still warm from their shots. They had taken down all of Ramond’s soldiers with flawless precision, moving like machines devoid of mercy. The G Alliance members had long trained to shoot in complete darkness, even with their eyes closed. This level of skill now allowed them to dominate their enemies despite the pitch-black conditions. “Turn on the lights,” Joseph ordered curtly, his voice authoritative. Ultra-bright flashlights snapped on, instantly illuminating the room. The light revealed a gruesome scene: twenty of Ramond’s soldiers lay lifeless on the floor, their blood pooling beneath them. The stench of gunpowder mixed with blood filled the air, causing Ramond to cough as he scanned the horrifying aftermath with fear and rage. “You…” Ram
Jennifer stood frozen in place, her body trembling, her once graceful face now etched with frustration and despair. Slowly, her hand moved to the folds of her dress, drawing out a small pistol that gleamed under the dim light. All eyes locked onto her—Joseph remained silent, his gaze as cold as ice, while Ramond sneered with a smug grin, full of disdain and mockery. Zako, usually quick to act, now watching with a mix of anxiety and helplessness. Jennifer raised the pistol to her head, her hand shaking uncontrollably. "This is all my fault..." she whispered, her voice barely audible. Tears streamed down her cheeks, but no one moved to stop her. She lifted her head slightly, her tear-filled eyes meeting Joseph's. Yet, there was no response from her son—no empathy, no hesitation, just a chilling, unyielding silence. Jennifer’s gaze grew vacant. Taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes, and without warning, the sharp crack of a gunshot shattered the silence. Her body crumpled t
The dim light from the chandelier cast sharp shadows across Joseph’s cold face. His eyes scanned the room sharply, observing each person within it. Jacky tried to speak, but no sound escaped his lips. He was barely hanging on, his life slipping away. Joseph glanced briefly at Jacky before redirecting his focus to the three figures before him. Jennifer abruptly stood, clutching a nearly empty wine glass in her trembling hand. Her face was pale, and though she tried to mask her nerves, her shaking fingers betrayed her unease. Ramond, in contrast, lounged casually in his chair, legs crossed as if there were nothing to worry about. Meanwhile, Zako appeared far more alert, his eyes darting between Joseph and the exit. “So,” Joseph’s deep, cold voice shattered the silence, “I come here and find myself... entertained by quite the show.” Jennifer quickly drank the rest of her wine, trying to steady herself. But as Joseph’s gaze locked onto hers, she froze. The woman, typically full
The room was dark and empty. Only the sound of Jacky’s footsteps echoed, filling the oppressive silence. His eyes scanned every corner, his pistol aimed forward, ready for any threat. But there was nothing—no Ramond, no Jennifer, no Zako. Only the cold air brushing against his skin like an invisible menace.Jacky growled, kicking over an old wooden chair that lay in the middle of the room. “Damn it! They escaped!” he yelled, his anger burning hot. He rubbed his temples, trying to steady the frustration boiling inside him. But before he could plan his next move, something unexpected happened.Out of nowhere, a coarse cloth wrapped tightly around his face. Someone yanked a bag over his head, cutting off his vision entirely.Jacky struggled, punching and thrashing, but his attacker was strong. Two firm hands restrained him with precision. Within seconds, he was forced into a chair, his body tied down with ropes that quickly bound his wrists and ankles.“Who are you?!” Jacky shouted, his
In the basement...The damp atmosphere clung to the space, making the air feel oppressively heavy.At the center of the room stood an old wooden table strewn with papers and maps. In one corner, Ramond sat on a worn-out chair, dressed in a faded shirt. Despite his simple appearance, his chilling aura remained unmistakable.The creaking of the wooden door broke the silence. Jennifer appeared, carrying two large bags filled with food supplies and water bottles. Her once-elegant dress now looked slightly disheveled, as if the long journey to this hidden place had drained her energy."Ramond," she said softly, lowering the bags onto the floor. "I brought food and necessities to last you a few days. I hope it’s enough."Ramond lifted his head, a faint smile forming on his lips—a smile that was both calming and enigmatic. "My darling," he greeted her warmly, his tone as smooth as ever. "You never fail to impress me."Jennifer lowered her gaze, avoiding his penetrating stare.Ramond rose fro
Ramond was a name well-known among the global elite, not only for his ruthlessness but also for his uncanny ability to manipulate. However, behind the mask of power he always wore, there was a hidden truth: Ramond owned nothing. Everything—his wealth, assets, and the networks he wielded—belonged to Jennifer. A woman trapped in her blind love for Ramond for years, she had made him a symbol of power in the eyes of the world.Jennifer’s love became a vulnerability that Ramond exploited without hesitation. He played his role flawlessly, presenting himself as a charismatic yet dangerous leader within the global elite circles. Jennifer even elevated him to the position of leader of the global elite, ensuring that all resources were at his disposal. Under his influence, many leaders in the network were willing to take extreme measures to achieve their objectives—whether it was dominating specific economic sectors, manipulating politics, or mercilessly destroying rivals.Ramond became a symbo
Joseph stood abruptly and said nothing. He cast a cold glance at his mother before turning and walking away. His firm steps echoed as he exited the grand mansion, with Gawali silently following close behind. The tense atmosphere was palpable, yet not a word was spoken between them until both Joseph and Gawali were inside the sleek black car. Once the car door shut, Joseph leaned back, staring straight ahead with an expressionless face. Gawali, seated in the driver’s seat, finally broke the silence, his tone cautious. “Sir, should I contact Interpol immediately? If Ramond is truly involved in your grandfather’s death, we can make him an international fugitive.”“No need,” Joseph interrupted, his tone decisive. “I’ll find him myself. I’ll deal with him personally. No one else is allowed to interfere until I’m satisfied.”Gawali gave a slight nod, understanding it wasn’t the time to argue.Joseph added, “Contact Jacky.”“Tell him to prepare the team. I need them ready for my next orders
The grand mansion was silent, with only the sound of Joseph and Gawali's footsteps echoing against the marble floors.Joseph stepped into the vast living room, its high ceilings adorned with sparkling crystal chandeliers.At the center of the room stood a golden sofa, strikingly prominent amidst the luxurious Persian carpet surrounding it.Joseph’s eyes immediately caught the figure of a woman standing near the large window. Jennifer, draped elegantly in white satin pajamas, stood poised as she gazed out. Her neatly combed hair reflected the faint light from the chandelier, and her face remained expressionless as usual.Joseph exhaled deeply, throwing himself onto the golden sofa with a casual yet calculated demeanor. He crossed one leg over his knee and stared at his mother with a mocking gaze.“So, my mom is still the same as ever,” he said sharply. “will awake when hear commotion.”Jennifer turned slowly, her expression betraying no reaction to his jab. With measured grace, she app
