He called Silver, probably the only one who could help him in the current situation. It took quite a while before Silver picked up, and Louis could hear him muttering: "Human stuff is truly puzzling." However, when he saw Louis' face on the screen, he immediately smiled: "Louis, long time no see. What can I do for you?" Louis nodded: "Indeed, I need your assistance." Silver, sensing the seriousness in Louis' expression, quickly dropped his smile and asked seriously: "What's happened?" Louis nodded again: "I'll send you an address, it's an island in the sea, and it has sunk. Can you mobilize your forces to search for any traces?" Silver replied: "No problem, but what's happening with that island?" Louis didn't hide anything from Silver: "When the island sank, my father was on it." Upon hearing this, Silver furrowed his brows: "If that's the case, there's a high possibility he's deceased." Silver didn't find this statement too harsh, given the circumstances. Their species, fro
The man quickly approached Louis. He smiled at Louis and said, "Hello, I'm Agal."With an indifferent expression, Louis looked at him and asked, "Do we know each other?"Agal immediately shook his head and said, "No, we don't."Louis didn't say anything more and turned to leave. At that moment, Agal's voice suddenly sounded behind him, "Don't you find your father's death excessively strange? Your father was highly protected; how could someone easily plant a bomb on his island?"Louis abruptly turned back, his gaze piercing. Agal's words seemed to have hit a nerve.Louis stared at him and asked, "And?"Agal seemed momentarily at a loss for words. Who would have thought that a son who had just lost his father would react so nonchalantly to information related to his father's death?Agal furrowed his brows and quickly caught up to Louis. He attempted to grasp Louis, but Louis skillfully evaded his touch.Agal widened his eyes slightly in surprise. He knew his speed was extraordinary,
"I want to give up the position of being Elder Samuel's heir," Michael said to Louis in astonishment. After a while, he continued, "Because I can no longer fulfill this responsibility, and I just want to leave."Louis looked at Michael, and after a pause, he asked, "Why?"Michael lowered his gaze and said, "Because I can't handle this anymore, I just want to go out."Louis looked at Michael, wanting to ask if Olivia was the reason for his change, but in the end, he held back. Michael's feelings were heavy, after all.Michael looked at Louis and struggled to find words. He wanted to leave, partly because of Olivia - the one he loved. Part of it was also because of the look in that monster's eyes when it was about to die.In those eyes, he saw pain, hatred, and profound suffering. Whether Olivia was still inside or not, Michael had seen that expression before, the one he had when he turned into a monster after falling in love.Did she love him? A monster loving a human?Michael co
Louis had just returned to the company when he received news from Leonard.Louis squinted his eyes, "Elder Cate wants to investigate Olivia's disappearance?"Leonard nodded, "Yes, he said Olivia's disappearance was sudden, and he wants to nominate someone to replace her position quickly."Louis couldn't help but scoff, "I thought those matters were my responsibility?"The head of the Adonis family's business management had never been a member of the Adonis family. Because each generation of Adonis family owners only had one child.These heads were all selected by the Adonis family owner from the outside. They were meant to be capable leaders, and more importantly, they needed to be loyal.If a head didn't have an heir or the heir's capabilities weren't sufficient, then the owner of the Adonis family would find a new heir for them.In the end, everything depended on the decision of the Adonis family owner.The crucial quality these heads needed was to understand their position. They
Louis suddenly issued such a command, and Hermes couldn't help but be astonished. But no matter how astonished he was, Hermes quickly responded to Louis, saying, "I understand, my lord."Having spoken, he swiftly began preparing everything. Chief Elder Cate was genuinely intimidated by Louis' actions. He almost shouted, "You will regret firing me. You will surely regret it."His voice was genuinely piercing, causing Louis to furrow his brows slightly. Ace immediately stepped forward and silenced Chief Elder Cate: "If you don't want your tongue cut out, you should keep your mouth shut."Ace was ruthless; looking into his eyes was enough to make people terrified. Chief Elder Cate was truly choked up.Louis looked at him and said coldly, "You should know you're only paying the price for what you've done. Try to live a better life after being dismissed."No sooner had Louis finished speaking than Ace promptly dragged Chief Elder Cate outside. Chief Elder Cate struggled wildly; perha
Lucy widened her eyes upon hearing Louis say he would have her replace Chief Elder Cate, one of the key managerial positions. She looked at Louis with a severe expression, "Are you serious about this?"Louis spoke in a low voice, "I'm very serious. You can see that I'm recommending you. Your abilities are well-suited for this role."Lucy held her chest and said, "I'm really happy to hear you say that, but being in a higher position also means I won't have as much time for fun."Louis furrowed his brows slightly. He knew Lucy was a playful girl, but deep down, she also had ambitions for power.She wasn't just a carefree person. She had a drive for success.Louis suddenly asked, "How is the Crown clan doing lately?"Lucy shrugged and said, "I've temporarily let my brother manage it. I want to spend more time with my loved ones."Louis gazed at Lucy intently, "Lucy, look into my eyes."Lucy didn't understand why but instinctively obeyed Louis' command.She looked into Louis' deep, ocea
Lucy returned home in a peak of anger, but thinking about what Louis had said, she tried to suppress her frustration. Inside the Crown family mansion, a lavish dinner was being served. Mr. Crown sat in the main seat, his expression hesitant. "Do you want to do this, my child?" He glanced toward his son.John, also Lucy's older brother, raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Regardless, she'll still help us build the family. She'll hold the power of the family in her hands." Seeing Mr. Crown's hesitance, John continued, "Does Father want me just to be a figurehead? Do you want to leave everything to Lucy, and I can only be a figurehead?!"Seeing Mr. Crown's hesitant expression, John's brows furrowed. Mr. Crown loved John more, but he couldn't ignore the development of the family. Therefore, when he learned about Lucy's ability, he could only hope that she wouldn't want the position of the heir and would continue to support them. However, suddenly, Lucy wanted to become the owner of the
Even though Lucy was furious, the encounter between Gray and Louis had to continue. Gray sat across from Louis, his demeanor naturally cheerful as he spoke, "So you're Lucy's friend, huh? You look quite handsome." Louis smiled and nodded, "And you don't seem outstanding." Gray: "..." Lucy covered her mouth, barely holding back her laughter. Gray's face became quite unpleasant. He frowned slightly, feeling that Lucy's friend was overly impolite. He looked at Lucy and said, "Did you hear what your friend just said to me?" He thought Lucy would be angry and that this would rupture the friendship between them. However, Lucy playfully covered her mouth and laughed as if she completely disregarded how he was treated. Since arriving at this place, everything seemed to be turned upside down. Gray felt uneasy, stood up, frowned, and said, "I need to leave now. I don't want to talk to someone who doesn't respect others." Lucy's cold voice suddenly resounded, "A person like you doesn'
