Joseph heard Arthur's screams from time to time. Even though the soundproofing effect of the basement was very good, Joseph could still hear Arthur's screams.Right now Arthur was obviously in a lot of pain. But this was all the pain that Ardy had experienced before, it was really hard to imagine.It wasn't until late in the day that Ben, Omden, and Sandy came out of the basement sweating.They would continue torturing Arthur tomorrow."Mr. Joseph, let's talk about how to settle the rest." Ben reminded.Omden and Sandy also looked at Joseph.Hearing this, Joseph nodded and said. "Tell me what you think.""Okay." Ben nodded slowly, then said. "Arthur's men are already mostly wounded from fighting with us, and now the rest are mostly trained men who are Arthur's confidants. We should kill them outright, how about it, Mr. Joseph?"Hearing this, Joseph nodded his head.If they weren't killed outright, they would follow what Arthur did in the future, so of course there was no point in lett
Most of these people had seen Joseph's picture. They knew that Joseph was a big boss in Leed City and they also knew that this time their plan had failed miserably because of Joseph's help.Some of the troop leaders looked at each other. Their eyes were filled with disbelief. They still thought that Joseph didn't dare to attack them. And they no longer dared to shout like before.Joseph watched as they suddenly became silent and some turned their faces away or looked down, Joseph immediately smiled and said, "Since you have chosen to cooperate with Arthur at the beginning and together plan to kill Ardy, then you must also prepare to fail and bear the consequences of failure."Hearing Joseph's words, their faces looked panicked. There was a bad feeling in their hearts.Joseph looked at Ben and the others at the side and said, "Start working. Pay attention to working as cleanly as possible."When Ben and the others heard this, they nodded their heads. Ben, Sandy, Omden, and some of the
After Joseph spoke such words directly, they immediately felt a frightening feeling. They never thought that Joseph would go straight to such cruel means.Omden said with a smile, "Of course they're afraid of death. No matter how brutal, they will still die, Mr. Joseph."Joseph nodded slowly and said, "Alright, that's the decision. You guys immediately prepare some special plans and preparations. Tomorrow morning, we take action immediately. No more delays."At this moment, the sun had just set completely. The evening light covered the earth, and the sky had just darkened.In this hall, Joseph and a few others were discussing an important matter. Other people were not allowed to enter the hall building.Joseph and the others were busy discussing things. They forgot to turn on the lights in the hall.At this time in the hall, it was quite dark. Some people could only vaguely see the expressions of the other party.At this moment, they looked at Joseph and replied, "Yes, Mr. Joseph!"Th
"It seems like they clearly have bad intentions. What should we do?" Another guard said frantically.When the martial masters of the Waxhoo Family heard the situation, they suddenly fell silent. Didn't they have to face the enemy? When did the Waxhoo Family become timid?Yudo's facial expression was not very good when he heard the report from his subordinates."Just this matter makes you guys panic like this? When I solve this problem, I will punish you!" Yudo glared angrily at the guards. Then, he waved his hand and walked slowly towards the front yard."I want to see who came! Why do they have the audacity to provoke the Waxhoo Family?!" Yudo said angrily.The martial arts masters of the Waxhoo Family immediately followed behind Yudo. There were 20 martial arts masters.At this moment, in front of the Waxhoo Family's house.Joseph's main purpose here was to conquer the Waxhoo Family, to make them obey his orders, not to destroy their family. So naturally, Joseph intended to talk nic
The martial arts masters of the Guezz Family did not stop, but they rushed over and subdued Yudo as well.Although Yudo's skills were good, but at this time, he had no intention of resistance at all. Even, if he resisted, it was completely unable to withstand it.So far, Yudo and all the martial arts masters of the Waxhoo Family had been subdued. Looking at the pitiful Yudo, Ben shook his head helplessly and said, "Mr. Yudo, why didn't you listen to what I said before? If you had obeyed, this wouldn't have happened to you."Yudo looked at Ben and did not respond to anything. Then, he looked at Joseph suspiciously. In his opinion, Joseph was really very powerful compared to Ardy, because Joseph currently had three hundred martial arts masters."Then these three hundred people are really martial arts masters? Who are you really? Why do you have so many martial arts masters?" Yudo looked at Joseph and asked in confusion.Joseph didn't say anything, just nodded slightly. At this moment
Jacky nodded and immediately left the hall. No matter how strong his opponent was, in Joseph's eyes, his opponent was nothing.At this moment, the gate of the Waxhoo family home opened. "What's the situation? Didn't Yudo say that Ben brought a lot of people here? Why haven't we seen any of them?""Could Yudo be lying to us?"The leaders of the alliance troops were puzzled when they saw that the courtyard of the Waxhoo family home was empty, unlike what Yudo had reported to them earlier.Then, they saw a group of people slowly walking out of the Waxhoo house."What are you doing to the Waxhoo family members?" One of the people in charge of this troop asked Jacky and his men who had just walked out of the Waxhoo family's house.Jacky wasn't interested in answering that question. After all, the order Joseph had given him was to control them and arrest the person responsible. There were no other orders.Jacky waved his hand and ordered all his men coldly, "Attack everyone!""How arrogan
When the leaders of the alliance troops heard that Joseph was going to let them go, they were relieved and very happy. After what had just happened, they realized Joseph's strength, they were no longer qualified to stand alone."Mr. Joseph, we recognize you as the leader of the new eastern region, and you are currently our boss.""That's right, Mr. Joseph. We greatly appreciate Ardy's last will and testament to make you the new eastern region leader."Joseph said, "No. For the new eastern region leader is Sandy, I'm just helping him. However, I will be the leader of the mafia in the eastern region."Everyone was stunned, but they were happy. Since they had already witnessed how great Joseph's power and authority was, if he became the leader of the mafia in the eastern region, the illegal business would go on without a hitch, and they would reap even more profits! Joseph said again reminding them, "I will let you go and let you tell your other members, but you must remember, there is
Hearing Joseph's answer, Fedro looked at Joseph doubtfully, he did not expect Joseph to answer like this.Jospeh said again, "It's all for profit. When legal businesses are just starting out, the capital costs will be much higher than illegal businesses, and the profits are not so objective and may even be a loss, but as time goes by it will gradually become bigger, and profits will gradually appear.""It won't be like illegal businesses that can be confiscated by the government, the profits of illegal businesses are huge, but they don't last forever," Joseph continued. He had explained in simple language for Fedro to understand.Fedro listened to Joseph's explanation, then finally understood what Joseph meant.When the illegal business first started, it was profitable, but it was difficult to sustain.Even before, the illegal business they were involved in was easily confiscated and they had to open another one, which was very unstable.Joseph waited for a while, then looked at Fedro
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
