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

    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

    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

    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

Not for such a poor and useless person like Joseph!"Hearing her eldest sister's words, Katty put the bowl of pork soup back on the table. She looks down in shame."What Jenny sai

    The small box was a pitch-black, slightly cracked wooden box that looked cheap. If Joseph gave such a cheap gift in front of all the family, it would embarrass Mr. Barta. That's why Mr. Barta refused Joseph's gift. Joseph was silent when his father-in-law rejected the gift he was about to give. Joseph kept his head down while still holding the gift."Keep the gift! What kind of gift can a poor man like you give?" Mr. Barta looked at Joseph sarcastically."If you give me an expensive gift like Lucky's, I'll accept it. However, if you give me a gift like that which is so cheap, of course, I'll refuse it because I don't want to be humiliated! You poor man!" Mr. Barta's eyes were perfectly rounded as he stared at Joseph and insulted him. "HAHA!" All the family laughed after Mr. Barta spoke.Katty was furious at her father's words, but Joseph always forbade his wife to speak. So, Katty could only remain silent while holding back her anger.

    "I've come across people like you many times! Usually, people like you would lie to me and then steal jewelry!" The female employee named Selen gave Joseph a sharp look.Joseph was dumbfounded. He nodded and tried to confirm that he was not a thief.Joseph took out his black card and placed it on the display case, "Quick, swipe the card!""This is..." Selen's eyes were glued to the black card, her expression looking very tense. At first, she thought she had seen the wrong thing, but then she thought for a moment, and her eyes rounded wide. She could hardly believe it. "This is...the black card with the highest limit!""It's a black card from the World Bank! How is that possible?" The employee didn't expect it at all. "Global Supreme Black Card, with a credit limit of one hundred billion and no interest!""Yes, you're right. You can trust me now that this card is mine. Quickly get a set of jewelry for me, and I will pay for it using the balance on this card," Joseph said."Ah, yes, Sir

    Joseph opened the jewelry box, he took out a set of necklaces and put them directly onto his wife's neck with great pleasure. Katty was still speechless as she was amazed to see real diamonds on her necklace.Everyone in the office looked at Joseph with a look of disbelief. They were shocked and astonished. The box of jewelry was really bought by Joseph. As a matter of fact, a minute ago Joseph showed a paper with official proof that he had bought the jewelry."No way!" Victoria shook her head. She couldn't believe that Joseph could afford a billion dollars worth of jewelry."Honey..." Katty's eyes widened. Her small mouth opened slightly as she was moved at this moment. Katty even thought that her husband had won at gambling, or maybe won the lottery? Because, other than that, how else could Joseph buy such expensive jewelry?Everyone in the office was whispering and wondering where Joseph got that much money from? However, there was no confirmation from Joseph. This was because he w

    Katty seemed unable to stay where she was. She kept clenching her hands together as she heard her brother-in-law's words. She really couldn't afford to pay 100 million dollars, especially considering her husband's condition. Katty was sure that this was just Lucky's plan to humiliate her husband."Lucky, Joseph and I can't possibly give 100 million dollars for Dad's heart transplant surgery, we don't have enough money." Katty said. Katty was sure that this was just Lucky's plan to humiliate her and her husband."Lucky, Joseph and I can't possibly give 100 million dollars for Dad's heart transplant surgery, we don't have enough money," Katty said. In desperation, she finally confessed. After all, 100 million dollars was too much for her and her husband."Yes, from the beginning I was sure that your savings would not be enough, even to pay half of it. Especially your husband, I'm sure he has no money in his account at all. So poor!" said Lucky contemptuously to Joseph. He looked at Jose

    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

    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
