My Son-In-Law Is Secretly A Crime Lord Chapter 57 : The life of Jason
Jason chuckled at Eric's tempting offer.One thing that he had learnt the hard way, while he ran around the streets of Parlsbury trying to make money, was that if something sounded too good to be true, it definitely was.“You know, at first, I was very excited with the prospect of acquiring the Phillips security building” began Jason.“However, the more I thought about it, the less sense it made to me”“Why would you want to hand me the secrets to the Phillips security building in the first place?” asked Jason.Eric sighed, as he placed his two hands on the table“you're a rich and powerful man Jason, as the CEO of Comet, you have your hands in a lot of powerful places, you are allied with a lot of powerful people, people who can aid me and my family” replied Eric“My family and I are going through some rather troubling times at the moment, as you know things haven't gone as well as they could have with us, and it has led to a lot of unforeseen circumstanc...”“Can you be a little mor

The room had been silent for over a minute.Jason and Eric simply stared at each other, with Eric impatiently tapping his feet on the floor, waiting for Jason's response.When Jason finally responded, it was to express his confusion at Eric's words.“You need my help?, I don't understand… why would you need my help?” asked Jason, confused.“You're Eric Phillips, head of the Phillips family and one of the four heavenly kings of Reville, surely you can…”“You are mistaken, Jason, I am no longer a member of the four heavenly kings of Reville" responded Eric, cutting off Jason's words.“Are you serious, how on earth did that happen?” asked Jason.“Let's just say that, there are many current developments the public are not currently aware of” replied Eric.“Apparently, it wasn't enough for the consequences of my family's loss of the Phillips security building, to be only financial”“It seems we had to lose our status as well, even before we had a chance to build our wealth back up” lamente

Jason laughed at Eric's obvious bluff, or at least he thought it was bluff, before responding to him.“I don't think so Eric, the reputation of the Phillips security company is in shambles, I honestly do not think there is any reasonable alternative to dissolving the compan...” responded Jason.“With all due respect Jason, I think you're wrong” disagreed Eric.“Really?” asked Jason, rhetorically, as he raised an eyebrow, and folded his hands.“Yes Jason, really… The reputation of the Phillips security building was destroyed, not the reputation of the Phillips security company” rebutted Eric.“I mean, I would have actually believed that, if the Phillips security company, was not completely tied to the Phillips security building” responding Jason.“Remember how you sold that project to Investors, you said it was the next phase of the Phillips security company's evolution, you called it your company's Magnum Opus for crying out loud” added Jason, chuckling lightly.“But what if we could

“I don't… I don't understand” responded Jason, his body gripped by shock.“I believe I was quite clear Jason, I want you to help me destroy the Warrington family” said Eric, forcing a smile.But Jason wasn't having it.“HAVE YOU GONE MAD, OLD MAN!!” yelled Jason, as he slammed his fist on the table.Eric smile vanished from his face, replaced with an annoyed sneer.Christopher Newton had asked him the exact same question, what exact did the Warringtons have that made the most powerful men in Orzan, afraid to go up against them.Did Jason and Christopher know something he didn't, or was his request to destroy the Warringtons just so outrageous.“I don't understand Jason, why the overreaction?, you're supposed to be…”“OVERREACTION?!!” yelled Jason, stopping Eric's sentence midway.“You told me that the third condition was going to be an easy one, this has crossed a line beyond testing my patience Eric” complained Jason.“Come on Jason, surely a man as important as yourself is not intim

“Conditions, Eh?” asked Eric, casually stroking his chin.Eric hoped that these conditions were going to be nothing more than simple requests.He couldn't afford to do anything bombastic, that ran a risk of ruining his plans.“Alright then, let's hear it… what are these conditions?” Jason clasped his two hands together, and then gazed directly at Eric.“The first condition is simple Eric, I would like you to be honest with me during the drafting of the contract, there can be no funny business over the ownership of any of your assets, especially those of the Philips security building”Eric responded by first giving Jason a wide smile, and then saying"of course Jason, I couldn't dream of misleading you in anyway, especially not after the support you would have shown my family, by agreeing to bail out our company" “I will remember your words Eric, as most men in a situation as perilous as yours, tend to take advantage of anyone who manages to give them attention”“Believe me, I am a ma
My Son-In-Law Is Secretly A Crime Lord Chapter 62 : The third condition
Eric and Jason were now engaged in a stare-down of epic proportions.It appeared to him that it was now Jason's turn to engage in a daring test of his resolve, as he had previously done just a few minutes ago.The problem was that, unlike when he was the perpetrator of this tension, he had no idea how to tell whether Jason was bluffing or not.And what made the situation much worse, was that either way would still be very bad for him.Eric didn't know how long it would take before Christopher Newton, and the rest of his cronies, came after him and his family.But one thing that he was very sure of, was that he did not have weeks, or even possibly, months to stay idle while he waited for the Comet board of directors to make their decision.The longer he stayed without protection from Comet, the more danger he and his entire family would be in, and this was something he couldn't risk.However, the way he looked it at, it seemed as though he didn't really have much of a choice.As much a
My Son-In-Law Is Secretly A Crime Lord Chapter 63 : The white rhino horn
The white Rhino horn was something that was very special to Eric, it had a deep sentimental value because of the history he had with the object.A very painful history, made even more painful due to recent events in Eric's life.Eric and Karl Newton had been good friends all their lives.Their parents were business partners, so they had watched each other grow up, they attended the same schools, had the same group of friends, and even shared many similar interests.In fact, they were so close that throughout the over seven long decades they had known each other, not once had there been a time when both men went over a month without seeing each other.The one time when this streak could have been broken was their honeymoons, but they both had a joint honeymoon due to the fact that they had both gotten married two weeks apart.This was because, coincidentally, their wives had also been childhood friends, leading to them having an almost perfect friendship circle.This close friendship w
My Son-In-Law Is Secretly A Crime Lord Chapter 64 : The end of the fundraiser saga
Jason's stare was fixed on Eric. However, Eric refused to look back at him, believing his emotions would betray him.His defeated demeanour would have looked pathetic to any other person, but Jason was very much aware of what it felt like to lose everything, and have no idea what to do next.Because of this, he almost felt bad for demanding Eric give him such a sentimental artifact, as he was very much aware of the tragedy that befell him on his quest to acquire it.But the keyword in Jason's thought process, was the word “almost”.Ultimately, Jason wasn't concerned about Eric or his feelings.As the selfish and ambitious man that he was, all Jason cared about was furthering himself and his own ambitions, and in this case, he wouldn't mind doing so at the expense of Eric.“Unfortunately for you Eric, your sentimentalities don't really matter to me whatsoever, I want that rhino horn, and I am going to get it because believe it or not… I actually have a reason to have it as well”Eric

Chapter 111 : Epilogue
Both Dean and Richard stood outside of the Phillips family mansion, neither man saying a word to each other for several minutes.At long last, Christopher Newton, the main man responsible for everything that had happened to him and his family, was finally dead.However, he didn't feel fulfilled, not quite yet... because his revenge was not yet complete."The Hudson's" Dean finally said, as Richard turned to look at him."What?" asked Richard, not exactly sure what Dean was trying to say."The Hudson's are the last piece of this puzzle, they're the last of the four heavenly kings of Reville, responsible for the death of our mother... for the death of our family" said Dean.Richard sighed, the Hudson's were an enigma, even to a detective such as himself.They ran the Hudson petroleum company, an oil drilling and processing company that owned many refineries, plants and facilities, with the largest one being located right

Chapter 110 : War of the elites
Dean awoke at the Hamilton family residence.Neither he nor Mia had gotten any real amount of sleep, as the entire family was completely freaking out over what had happened to them last night.What's worse, their panic became even greater when they saw Mia return to the house without Dean, in a car riddled with bullet holes.Dean couldn't help but stare at the recording box Richard had sent to him several days earlier.The box had contained an emergency message from his father, a message for his two sons, informing them of all the events that were transpiring between the Bradson family, and the other members of the four heavenly kings of Reville.Richard had gotten the box through his years of investigating the Dean of their family, and it was the key to how he had acquired all the information he told Dean about.Dean knew that the danger hadn't passed from last night, he could feel it in his gut.However, after everything th

Chapter 109 : Assasination Attempt
"Well well well, if it isn't crippled Mia" said Raymond as he slowly approached Mia's table.Dean turned to stare at the man in anger, not appreciating how he had just spoken to his wife."What the hell do you want Raymond?" asked Mia, annoyed, while also trying to not escalate the conversation."What's the matter Mia?, I mean you no harm... I'm just here to congratulate you on getting your legs back, I mean when I heard it had happened I couldn't believe my ears, but I guess now that I see it... my eyes do not deceive me" replied Raymond, his voice maintained a mocking tone throughout his reply."Well thanks a lot Raymond, you've seen me... I've got my legs back, so please leave me alone" pleaded Mia, as she desperately tried to get the man away from her.However, her attempts proved futile, as Raymond wouldn't let up.Chuckling lightly, Raymond said, "Even after everything your family has done, you still end up here, at the cor

Chapter 108 : A high stakes party
Christopher Newton sat on his office chair with his face buried in his palms.This was absolutely not how he thought everything would be going one year later.Ever since the assasination of his father by those unknown culprits, it seemed like his entire world had been turned upside down.Culprits whose identities, he still did not know.This ached him in his heart more than he had ever thought possible.He had hoped that he would have been able to uncover their identities by now, but they were like ghosts... invisible to everyone and everything.It seemed like everything that could have gone wrong had ended up going wrong, and now he was losing everything he thought he'd have by now.After the destruction of the Phillips security building, Christopher had seen the perfect chance to increase his power, and the power of his entire family by essentially buying out the Phillips family.However, due to Eric Phillips stubb

Chapter 107 : The hunt for legacy
Dean awoke from his slumber, his head pounding heavily from all the thinking he did the previous night.He looked to his side to see Mia lying there, sleeping happily without a care in the world, and as much as he had always promised himself that he would do everything in his power to keep it that way, he slowly began to feel like perhaps he wouldn't have enough power to protect Mia as well as he would have hoped.Dean looked at his watch, and the time was 5:17 am, usually, Dean would start doing his routine exercises at this time, but instead he remained in bed thinking about everything that had happened over the last three days.The shocking revelation that Richard Dawkins, the man he had just been trying to kill two days ago was his brother, still haunted him.It felt like a dream, one he could never be wake up from.After Richard Dawkins had explained to Dean that he was his brother, both men had realized that there was no longer any point

Chapter 106 : The big reveal
Dean couldn't believe what he had just heard Richard say, and by the look on Richards face, even he was just as confused as he was.Even Carlos had quickly walked over to where his boss and Dawkins were, so that he could confirm if he had indeed heard what he thought he heard "What did you just say?" asked Dean as he tightened the grip on his blade lightly.Seeing that Dean had let his guard down, Richard quickly knocked the knife out of his hand and pushed him away.Dean slammed his fist on the ground the moment he saw that Richard had once again escaped from him."OH, is that what this was?... A TRICK!?" yelled Dean, enraged with himself that he had fallen for such a cheap trick.However, unlike before, Richard wasn't trying to run away anymore.Instead, he just stood a few feet away from Dean, clutching injured shoulder, and staring at Dean.Dean noticed this and was slightly taken aback by it, but even more than

Chapter 105 : The battle of the warehouse
Quickly stepping out of his hiding place with two guns in hand, Richard Dawkins was now face to face with his two assailants, pointing a gun at each of their faces. Speaking of their faces, Richard could immediately see why his assailants didn't seem to show any reaction to the smoke bomb he used.They both had on Guy Fawkes masks, and Richard believed that they probably had a sort filtration system, hidden within the mask that allowed them to still breathe properly when the gas filled the warehouse."So Comet sent only two men to take my life... you must not think very highly of me" said Richard, trying his best to pretend to not be intimated by the two large men.He was no small man himself, but seeing the two large men in front of him, barely even flinching despite having a gun pointed as both of their heads was certainly unsettling."Oh, do not sell yourself short Richard Dawkins... the very fact that the two of us are here is proof

Chapter 104 : Taunt and effect
Seeing what was going on, Richard quickly headed towards a large crate containing Sky Quazer drone parts, so he could hide and wait for whatever came next."Come out Richard Dawkins, I don't really have time to play games with you" said a masculine voice which could be heard at the very end of the warehouse.Respond to this, but he could tell by the man's voice that he was still relatively far away, so in his mind, he still had some time to think up an escape plan."Stop wasting everyone's time, Dawkins, you might think you're hiding, but you're not" the masculine voice said again.Richard didn't respond, and at this point, he actually started to wonder why his assailants were talking so much.He still needed to find a way to navigate around this warehouse from this box he hid behind, that way, perhaps he could find a way out of his current situation.Suddenly, the masculine voice could be heard sighing loudly in the distance."Yo

Chapter 103 : Anticipated Set-up
Following the map closely, with the blueprint carefully tucked away in his pocket, Richard was led to a seemingly abandoned set of warehouses at the outskirts of the city. The warehouses most definitely belonged to Comet, as he could see their logo plastered everywhere, but he wasn't exactly sure what Comet was using them for. He found a set of thick bushes in a corner, where he decided to observe his surroundings from, as he didn't want to be ambushed by any unknown assailants. The region seemed void of life, but was littered to the brim with scores of machine parts, but Richard was too far away to tell what machines these were. Quickly becoming unsatisfied with his position behind the bushes, Richard decided, after maintaining his position for over 30 minutes, and still not noticing any sign of life, that he would move around to Investigate the area. Once he did this, he began observing all the broken
