My Son-In-Law Is Secretly A Crime Lord Chapter 61 : Lies and deceptions
“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
My Son-In-Law Is Secretly A Crime Lord Chapter 65 : Excuses for friends
Carlos slowly removed the headphones from his ears, and began compiling a report of what he had heard.Next to him, Dean would eventually finish listening in on Jason's conversation with Eric, and also began compiling a report of what he had heard.The two men sat in silence as they did this, but the tension in the car was quite heavy.Once this was done, Carlos and Dean exchanged Transcript files.Dean, due to his high sense of awareness and precision, was able to go through his own report, three times before Carlos went through his once. Once both men were done, they once again sat in silence, not speaking to each other, and merely staring into space.It was as if they both knew things were strange, and were about to get even stranger.“So Carlos, what exactly did you hear from our dear Hamilton family?” asked Dean, relaxing on his chair.Carlos took at deep breath, he knew he couldn't expect his boss to actually start with his (Dean's) listening session.Carlos was determined to u
My Son-In-Law Is Secretly A Crime Lord Chapter 66 : Mia's resolve
The conversation between the two men finally ended, and Carlos was ready to return Dean to the golden estate.So he left the passenger side of the limo, and headed over to the driver's seat, before starting the car and moving away from their hiding spot, and towards the Golden Estate.The journey back was a stressful one for Dean.Not because the golden estate was particularly far away from the Philips family residence, but because Dean had never wished he could teleport more than at that moment.He hadn't seen or heard from Mia throughout the day, and as much as he wanted to call to ask her if she was okay, he knew it wasn't the proper time.The fundraiser had gone on for a lot longer than expected, and because of this, by the time the limousine's tyres ground to a stop at the Golden estate, the time was 1:47am, the following day.Once Dean came down from the limousine, he quickly headed upstairs towards Mia's room.He knew she would be asleep at this time, but he didn't care, he jus
My Son-In-Law Is Secretly A Crime Lord Chapter 67 : Relocation
Dean sighed as he looked through the results of the investigation he had conducted over the last two days.He cautioned himself on being so confident as to think that he could run a complete investigation of Jason's secret dealings with Comet in only two days.So far, all the managed to acquire was a three-page report, basically telling him things he already knew, or things that Jason had revealed during his conversation with Eric Phillips, with only one exception.Now that Dean had returned to the Golden estate, he finally once again had access to his special security key, which granted him the highest level of clearance within Comet.Using this clearance, he was finally able to access Jason Starfire's personal account, where he discovered that Jason had been earning tens of millions more than he was supposed to.After investigating further, Dean discovered that Jason had begun selling technology created by Comet defences technologies, on the black market.It was due to his new-foun

“I don't… I don't like this room mom, I feel it's rather unsettling and if possible, I would like to have my childhood room back” Sophia's face squeezed in absolute fury at her daughter's audacity. “Who the hell do you think you are, you worthless girl!?” asked Sophia, yelling loudly. “You think because you got a little contract with Imperium, you're now a big shot?” “If we wanted, we could have given you nothing at all, you hear me?, so you better take what you've been given, and appreciate it” finished Sophia. Mia didn't really have any words of rebuttal. She wanted to say something, to remain defiant, but truly she had no choice, she was at the mercy of her parents. “Actually, that's not true ma'am” said Dean, seemingly reading Mia's mind, and countering her mother's words. “Did someone ask you to speak, young man, what makes you think you know anything about this family's business?” asked Sophia, angry that Dean was challenging her. “You're right ma'am, I am not the most a

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
