In a luxurious and splendid hotel, distinguished guests dressed in their most beautiful outfits, using the most graceful gestures to showcase their wealth and knowledge.Everyone was joyfully frolicking, holding hands, and dancing under warm yellow lights and gentle, melodic music.No one knew that one of the city's most significant gangs was holding its annual meeting beneath this peaceful and beautiful facade.In the basement of the hotel.Louis wore a long coat that reached his ankles. On his face was a silver mask shaped like a hawk's beak.His coattails glided through the lonely darkness as if wanting to merge with it.He and his subordinates had just arrived at the entrance when a hotel staff member led them to a door on one of the basement levels.Louis didn't say much, simply following the hotel staff member.The air was filled with a strong smell of alcohol as if they had just passed through a wine cellar.Louis wondered if they stored so much wine to drink or to conceal the
Garow knew that his older brother had started to act. He stood up and said loudly, "Ethan, you should remember that this is my territory, not a place for you to cause trouble! If you find it boring, you can choose not to come or leave right now!"Ethan seemed to pay no attention to Garow's words. He looked at Louis and smiled, "You're the new boss of Ofox, right?"Louis had been observing the interaction between the two brothers, Garrow and Ethan, and finally, his name was mentioned. He smiled and said, "That's right, you can call me Horus."Of course, no one saw the smile or the look in his eyes.Ethan laughed and said, "Horus, Horus, huh? Great. I have an exciting game that can heat the atmosphere. Would Horus like to play with me?"This was a dilemma.Ethan led the Dark Gang, the largest gang in this city.Louis was just a new leader of a fragmented and ununified gang with many members but insufficient power. Naturally, Louis couldn't refuse Ethan's invitation.If he refused, it wo
The night draped heavily over the city, and the party had come to an end. Louis sat in the car, glancing out at the city.Beside him was the girl he had rescued during the event. Helen looked at the man beside her; although he had entered the car, he still hadn't removed his mask.She only knew him as Horus and did not know his appearance or age. Despite his rescue, her heart was still filled with fear. She didn't know what this man would do to her.Helen bowed her head, her eyes filled with sadness. Regardless, she knew she had to repay this man. He was the one who had saved her.Louis could sense Helen's apprehension, but he remained silent. The car quickly arrived at one of their safehouses, where they switched to several other vehicles before finally heading to Louis's home.Helen sat inside the car, her gaze focused outside. A girl had given her clothes to change into—a simple sportswear outfit. However, Helen didn't pay much attention. She only looked towards the door, knowing t
Louis turned to look at Helen, his brow slightly furrowed. "What's wrong?" he asked.Helen seemed somewhat embarrassed and released Louis' shirt, hesitatingly saying, "You're not satisfied with me, so you left without taking the next step..."Upon hearing Helen's words, Louis immediately understood what she was thinking. Upon reflection, he realized that his actions might have been misleading...Louis looked at Helen and said, "You're overthinking it. I just wanted to look closer at the mark on your back. You can go now."Helen looked at Louis in bewilderment, seemingly unable to believe what she had just heard. She opened her eyes wide, and her face quickly turned red. She lowered her head and apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."She then hurriedly ran out of the room.Louis returned to his desk, unable to see Helen's blushing ears due to her bowed head.It wasn't because he had any special feelings for Helen that he blushed; it was just that he found the situation awkward.He paid at
Leonard went to check if there were any loopholes in the banquet. This gala dinner was significant, and they couldn't afford any mistakes, even a small one. Meanwhile, Mason stood outside the door to greet the arriving guests. In this entertainment center project, he was under the management of Louis. As a result, after the successful completion of the project, the status of the Smith family was elevated to a new level. Mason's elderly father was also completely confident in handing over the Smith family to him for management. Now he was no longer just an heir but held the entire Smith family in his hands. He was almost loyal to Louis without question. Because he knew that without Louis' cooperation, he would have to go through many hardships to attain the position of the owner of the Smith family. With that in mind, Mason's smile grew even brighter. The esteemed guests who arrived here were prominent figures in the upper class. They wore the most exquisite attire, exuding the m
Scarlet held a glass of red wine in her hand, and her eyes tinged with sadness. She walked towards Louis, her face slightly embarrassed, but she still forced a smile and said, "Louis, can we talk?"Louis looked at Scarlet, placed his champagne glass on a tray held by a waiter, and then said to Elena, "Handle things here for me."Elena immediately withdrew her gaze, bowed her head, and said, "I understand, Chairman."Louis nodded and walked away.Elena and Scarlet were friends who always stayed in touch. However, Elena didn't know how Scarlet felt about Louis, especially how Louis felt about Scarlet.She was Scarlet's friend, but she was also afraid that Scarlet and Louis would end up together. If that happened, she would be devastated. She would never betray Scarlet to seduce Louis, so she could only suffer silently.Elena blinked and tried to swallow her fear. She shouldn't think so much. She was a perfect assistant deserving of her position.When she turned around, there was a perfe
Louis sat in his private room two days later with Leon by his side. Leonard was dealing with the gang's affairs.Louis looked at Leon and asked, "Is Helen still studying diligently?"Leon immediately showed a wondrous expression and said, "I don't think she needs to study anymore. She's like a monster. In the past year, she has become stronger than any bodyguard. Perhaps what she lacks is knowledge."Upon hearing this, Louis couldn't help but furrow his brow. "Didn't I instruct you to arrange a tutor for her?" he said.Leon frowned and replied, "I have arranged a tutor for her, Boss. However, her mind is only focused on fighting. She consistently gets poor grades. You wouldn't want to see her test papers; it would drive you crazy."Louis restrained himself from rubbing his temples. Leon's words were giving him a slight headache.Could the Fanis clan only develop physical abilities and not intellectual capabilities? Louis seriously doubted this and decided to spend some time evaluating
Louis looked at Helen and continued, "You don't need to feel disappointed or consider yourself useless. Because everyone has their talent and limitations, I will assign positions to the most suitable."Helen lifted her head and hastily said, "Master, I understand my mistake. I will try to learn and not deliberately oppose Leon anymore. I just wanted you to pay a little attention to me. Over the past year, I've had very few opportunities to meet you. I'm worried..."Louis sighed as he looked at Helen, her lack of affection making her fearful and insecure. She was like a newly grown child, doing tricks to get adults' attention.Louis smiled and looked at Helen. "Everyone has to grow up, Helen. If you try harder, you could work alongside me. Then you wouldn't need to play tricks anymore; I could see you anytime."Helen nodded, her eyes shining. She looked at Louis and said aloud, "I understand, Master. I will strive to learn so that I can work by your side. I will not disappoint you anym
