"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'
Gray was led down to a basement under Louis's private mansion.Not at all intoxicated, Louis took it upon himself to interrogate Gray.At this moment, Louis was sitting in a white prison cell. The whole room was predominantly white, with very few colors present. An average person staying in a room like this for long would go mad.Gray was currently tied to a chair, slumping his head with his eyes tightly shut. Louis heard from Ace that Gray had passed out on the way back here, clearly from expending too much energy to activate his unique ability. He had been given special treatment within a day, and once his life was no longer in danger, he was locked in this place.Louis signaled to Ace, who immediately approached carrying a bucket of water, then callously splashed it onto Gray's body. Gray's entire body twitched instinctively. He recoiled slightly, and after a moment, his eyelids fluttered, slowly opening his eyes.As soon as he raised his gaze, he saw Louis smiling across fro
Two people had been waiting in the grand hall for a while.A middle-aged man stood there, and he was none other than Angle. The other person was a young man with a handsome and gentle face.It was hard to believe that he was Liam, the same person who had displayed impatience and rushed behavior the day before.Angle looked at the magnificent and beautiful mansion, then glanced at his favored disciple, restraining a sigh.The last time they met, he could sense that Louis was not an easy person to deal with. Now, under these circumstances, he couldn't predict what would happen to them.Seeing his mentor sigh, Liam quickly furrowed his brows and said, "You don't need to worry, Sir. All the faults are mine. None of this is certainly related to you."He furrowed his brows and spoke confidently, yet his face didn't hint at threat.It was more like the annoyed expression of a lover being a bit impatient.That was one of the reasons why he liked wearing a mask during missions.Before, he ha
