Louis hung up the phone, and within moments, a knock on the door echoed through the room. The person entering was none other than Leon and Leonard.Leon and Leonard approached Louis and stood before him. Leon spoke, "Do you have any tasks for us, sir?"Louis nodded. "The Alexander family has expressed sudden interest in collaborating with our company. I have never revealed my true identity or done anything to draw attention to myself, so their offer raises suspicion. I want the two of you to investigate the Alexander family's recent activities."Upon hearing Louis' words, Leon couldn't help but smirk and said, "They should pray that they have no association with those who oppose you."Louis sighed and rolled his eyes slightly. "I hope so too. Otherwise, I might bring their ambitions to a halt right here."Interrupting the conversation, Leonard added, "However, it's not entirely improbable that they simply want to cooperate with you or even destroy you. Atlantis has been rising rapidly
Helen gathered the hem of her dress, looking at Elena with a pained expression. "Do we have to wear these? How can you stand it? It feels so restrictive and inconvenient."Elena adjusted her hair and smiled at Helen. "Didn't you hear what the chairman said? As long as we can still fight when he needs us, it doesn't matter how we dress."Pausing momentarily, Elena stood up and walked before Helen, smiling as she spoke. "Besides, these dresses serve their purpose. For example..."As she spoke, Elena took a belt from a drawer and quickly strapped it around her thigh, where the dress concealed it.After finishing, she smiled at Helen and said, "You can hide your gun in there. It's a brilliant idea, isn't it?"Helen's eyes sparkled, and she smiled brightly at Elena, nodding vigorously. "Absolutely! I'll shoot off the heads of anyone who dares to get in the chairman's way."After Helen finished speaking, Elena's expression became somewhat enchanting. She pursed her lips for a moment before
Louis continued walking inside when suddenly someone bumped into Elena, causing the drink in their hand to spill and wet their clothes. Eren looked at the stain on his clothes, furrowed his brow, and glared at Elena, shouting, "You wretch, do you see what you've done?! Do you have any idea how expensive this outfit is? You couldn't afford to replace it even if you worked your whole life!"Elena furrowed her brow, but her professionalism prevented her from making impulsive moves. She slightly lowered her head and said, "I sincerely apologize. I will compensate you."Eren, slightly intoxicated, finally looked at Elena's face. His gaze immediately became intense, and he narrowed his eyes with a smirk before making things complicated, saying, "I don't want compensation. I want a new outfit right now!"As he spoke, he raised his hand to pull Elena towards him. At that moment, someone suddenly grabbed his wrist. Eren tried to tear away but couldn't. A cold, low voice echoed in his ear, "Gue
Stopping to look at Mr. Alexander's unpleasant face for a moment, Louis shook his head and sighed, "But I didn't expect Mr. Alexander to be so eager to listen to that person, huh? Would you kick me out of this banquet just because of a word from him?"After saying that, Louis shook his head again. "I never expected the Alexander family to have deteriorated to such an extent that the master of the family has to listen to a brat..."Boom!Alexander slammed his hands on the table, standing up abruptly. His face was highly unpleasant as he looked towards Louis, furrowing his brows and saying, "Young people are weak in everything, only good at running their mouths."Louis narrowed his eyes and smiled. "You're too kind."Pausing momentarily, he continued, "If our cooperation cannot continue like this, then I have no reason to stay here any longer. You must know that my work is not leisurely either."After speaking, Louis stood up, brushed off the nonexistent dust on his body, and left.Watc
The car traveled on the long road. Lucy sat on one side, remaining silent and brooding.That wretched Louis dared to say she intentionally approached him! Was she so desperate for male attention? She was not only the heir of the Crown family but also a girl pursued by many. Did she need to win the favor of a man?!Although this Louis guy appeared handsome, he was overly confident. Lucy sighed and carefully reconsidered. His confidence seemed natural, the spirit of a strong, self-assured, and composed individual.With that in mind, Lucy glanced at Louis for a moment. He seemed to need to remember their previous conversation. Looking out the car window, he tilted his head, lost in thought.Lucy felt disheartened, thinking about the emotional turmoil she experienced on the island that day. She had always been calm and confident, but she hesitated to ask if Louis was Horus this time.If he weren't, it would be better, but if Louis turned out to be Horus, she would be incredibly embarrasse
Louis listened to Leonard's report without showing any surprise. He had known that the Alexander family had no good intentions from the beginning, and this outcome was just a matter of time.Standing on the side, Leonard couldn't help but comment, "They are too foolish. They will regret it eventually."Louis tilted his head slightly, his face devoid of emotion as he spoke, "No, they won't have a chance to regret."Leonard understood Louis' temperament. Those people dared to touch his interests, so they were genuinely seeking their death.Louis was unaware of Leonard's exclamation and glanced at him, asking in a low voice, "Is that all?"Leonard shook his head slightly and continued, "Perhaps this will disappoint you, but the
Louis looked at Lucy with a mysterious gaze and said, "You can see through people's hearts. You make it seem like we're in a supernatural film."Although Louis spoke absentmindedly, he secretly observed Lucy. As the heir of the Adonis family, he possessed knowledge that others didn't.Sensing Louis's disbelief, Lucy immediately frowned as if wanting to speak up. However, she discerned the situation and pretended to look menacingly at Louis, whispering, "I never claimed that I could see through people's hearts. I'm not even supernaturally gifted to that extent.""Oh?" Louis raised an eyebrow.Lucy's face twisted in arrogance as she proclaimed, "Perhaps you don't believe it, but I can tell when someone is lying or telling the truth, whether they have ill intentions. When s
Elena stood before Louis's office door, took a deep breath, and knocked. She didn't know how bad Louis's mood was now, so she thought she needed to prepare herself mentally.She had heard some superiors vent their anger on their subordinates when things weren't going well at work. Although she didn't think Louis was that kind of person, facing the pressure of the company's constraints, anyone would likely get a little hot-tempered.It was unavoidable. Elena took a deep breath and then knocked on the door.From inside came Louis's low and calm voice, as usual, "Come in."Elena opened the door and saw Louis sitting at his desk, holding a beautiful golden pen. He was dealing with some work.Looking at him, still composed and cal
