Elder Samuel rushed out from inside when he heard about the Unfomilyn snake, and his face turned pale. However, he didn't immediately rush to help his son and just asked, "Michael, did you get bitten by the snake?"Michael coldly looked at his father, slowly nodding. The tight furrow of his brows showed that he was uncomfortable at the moment, even in pain, yet he didn't cry.On the other hand, Olivia, standing beside him, continued to gaze tearfully at him, looking as if she was about to cry any moment.Hermes also understood the seriousness of the situation. Everyone present had retreated a few meters away. Hermes looked at Louis and said, "Master, you should step outside. I will handle this matter."Louis didn't respond to Hermes. He smiled slightly and said, "Ace, how many snakes are here?"Ace dropped his sarcastic expression and replied seriously, "There is only one. You just need to look up to see it."Louis nodded and said, "The snakes have never come out of the cellar for wine
On the way back, Louis didn't say anything more to Ace. On the contrary, Ace couldn't help but say, "I didn't know you had such an attraction to snakes. I thought you were just pretending..."Louis: "..."Louis: "I'm inquisitive about how you perceive me?"Ace cleared his throat, not saying anything more.Louis paid no attention and said, "Hurry up. Thirty minutes have almost passed. If we're late, Michael will die."Ace chuckled and said, "I thought you didn't care?"Louis tilted his head and said, "Understand me. Of course, I care. It's my birthday today, and I don't want anyone to die during my birthday party."Moreover, the story between Olivia and Michael is quite intriguing.Above all, Louis felt that Michael was genuinely contradictory.Ace laughed, clearly not believing Louis's words. However, no matter what he thought, he quickly pushed Louis to his room.The guests outside had begun conversing with each other about future collaborations.This was also one of the reasons they
As soon as Ace left the room, Louis furrowed his brow. His right hand was now sore, and he could even feel a heat radiating from his hand to his brain.Leo's voice echoed just then: [How does it feel?]Louis pondered momentarily before replying: [It feels like my life force is being drained.]Leo laughed: [That's the price for saving someone's life. I've told you before, the more life force you have, the more people you can save.]Louis couldn't help but say: [Alright, I've heard these words from you too many times, and I won't forget.]Leo said: [That's good.]Then he disappeared once again. Louis clenched and loosened his hand, feeling slightly numb and fatigued even after Ace returned.The birthday party ended with everyone's joy and satisfaction. However, some felt differently."Bang!"A loud sound rang out as the precious ancient cups and dishes shattered into pieces.Olivia pushed her hair back, her face devoid of fear and replaced with a demonic fierceness.Angry, she sat on th
Immediately after finishing the conversation with Lucy, Louis couldn't help but signal Ace to take him back to the company.When they arrived at the company, they heard a guest was waiting. Louis asked, "Who is it?"Assistant Melly replied instantly, "He calls himself Michael, and I left him waiting in the waiting room."Louis didn't expect Michael to recover so quickly. He nodded and said, "Alright, take them to the chairman's office."Assistant Melly nodded, "I'll arrange it right away, sir."Ace led Louis to the private elevator reserved for the chairman and casually said, "He's probably here to thank you."Louis pondered, "That's probably the case."The private elevator was always fast, and they reached the chairman's office in no time. Inside the office, Michael was standing instead of sitting. His expression remained cold and serious, just like when they first met.Michael stared fixedly at the door, clearly waiting for Louis's appearance. Right as the door opened, almost instin
In the President's office, the atmosphere was strangely quiet. Ace asked Louis, "Do you believe that guy's fantastic story?"Louis fixed his gaze on the documents, not expressing any opinions.Ten minutes earlier.After hearing Louis's request, Michael fully agreed."I want you to pretend that you're still under her control. Act like the thing inside your head that wants to manipulate your memories hasn't disappeared. Because if you seem unable to say anything, maybe she'll come to you and discuss her plan. Then, you tell me every word without leaving out a single detail. Can you do that?"Michael nodded vigorously. "I can!"After finalizing their agreement, Michael left his office.No one else knew about their conversation. Michael came here today only to express his gratitude.Since the incident on his birthday, Louis could see that Olivia was arrogant and conceited. She would undoubtedly boast to Michael about her perfect plan.Because she believed she could control everything.Tha
"Boss, here are all the materials that I have investigated during this time," Leonard placed a stack of documents on Louis' desk and said so.He had become accustomed to seeing Ace sitting at the desk next to Louis' workspace. Catching a glimpse of him, Leonard merely glanced and then shifted his gaze elsewhere.At this point, they could be considered colleagues. Leonard did not want his prejudice to affect his boss and their work.Ace just snorted and remained silent.Louis did not care about the silent confrontation between the two of them. He opened the documents to review them.Inside was evidence proving that the Minister of Technology and Innovation at Roman had stolen Doug's ideas.Looking at Roy's picture, Louis could not help but raise an eyebrow. He knew this person; he had seen him being very close to Doug.Although he did not know the specifics, at least on the surface, they seemed very friendly.Furthermore, what mattered most was that Roy had been collaborating with Doug
Louis sat in the middle, facing the continuous flashing of camera flashes and the barrage of questions from the reporters. He just smiled.Ace stood behind him as his assistant and shouted, "One at a time. If you don't want to ask any more questions, you can leave!"The reporters below couldn't help but feel choked. It was the first time they encountered an assistant like this. However, looking at Ace's fierce demeanor and considering Atlantis' status, they remained silent momentarily.An older-looking reporter asked, "Mr. Louis, do you know that the Roman Corporation has also launched an AI project today? What are your thoughts on this?"Louis smiled, "I don't have any strong feelings about it; it's merely a coincidence."Another reporter inquired, "Everyone is saying that your company's project is superior to the Roman Corporation's. Is that true?"Louis nodded without modesty, "Regarding this, and there have been comments from professionals in the field. I believe everyone will see
Leon looked at the internet users and reported to Louis, "Boss, there is countless malicious information about us and Mr. Doug circulating online. They want to use the past story to label us as copycats in the present."Louis remained silent, looking at the malicious comments on the internet. His expression didn't change as if those comments weren't referring to him.Louis turned to Doug and asked, "How do you feel about this?"Doug was still tense, clenching his fists. He knew the feeling of being targeted by online violence was not pleasant. Even though he had experienced it once, he still felt shaky when facing it again. Perhaps he even had psychological trauma from it.However, upon hearing Louis's comforting question, Doug seemed to be pulled back from the depths of despair. He looked at Louis and deeply breathed, saying, "It's nothing. I know I'm not the same person I used to be."That's right, now he was no longer weak or had to face this slander alone. He had Louis, the most
