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
The group quickly headed towards the underground arena. On their way, they encountered Leon escorting Gray.And so, Gray was also taken along with them. Liam held onto him tightly, his face filled with anger. This was the first criminal he had been chasing, but not only did the guy manage to escape to the capital. He also got involved with a significant figure.Liam was just beginning to realize that having special abilities wasn't enough. Perhaps that was why he could only be a student; his teacher was the captain.They reached their destination swiftly. As soon as they entered, they heard a loud and enthusiastic roar. The scene here differed from when he brought Ace to fight Helen.Sounds of fighting, curses, and cheers flooded into their ears. This arena was indeed a different world compared to the outside.Angle couldn't help but glance at Louis, who immediately smiled and shook his head, saying, "Don't look at me like that. I'm not organizing any underground tournaments."
Two years wasn't too long or short, but it was enough time for Louis to almost transform into a different person.Looking down at the city of Gloria from the airplane, Louis couldn't express his feelings. This city held too many memories, although most were far from pleasant. The only beautiful thing he had from this city might be his acquaintance with Doug, Scarlet, and Elena.Thinking of Scarlet, Louis couldn't help but furrow his brows slightly; it had been a while since they last communicated. He had been busy with work, and Scarlet wasn't the type to exchange texts frequently. She always preferred direct meetings.If he was back in the city now, he thought he should look for her and meet up for a while – after all, it had been a long time since they met. However, first and foremost, he needed to see what the Special Event Investigation Team headquarters looked like.The plane quickly landed at an airport within the city. Specialized vehicles were waiting for them, as planne
