My Son-In-Law Is Secretly A Crime Lord Chapter 69 : A dangerous conversation
Dean's eyes opened sharply, as he awoke from his six hour long slumber.He looked besides him to see Mia sleeping next to him, and then smiled as he remembered the night before.He and Mia, after two months of marriage had finally spent the night together as a couple, they had connected with each other on a deeper level, and Dean couldn't be happier.As he gently caressed Mia's hair, he couldn't help but think about how he didn't want these moments to end.How he wished Mia and he could keep this moment for the rest of their lives, when they wouldn't have to face off against the troubles of the outside world.But alas, that was not possible, and reality was calling, so Dean quickly out of the bed.He then checked his watch and saw that the time was 6:23, a little later than he usually worked out, but he would have to make due.Mia would remain asleep for the next hour, while Dean would spend this time doing different exercises.Soon, Dean finished his exercise routine and went to take
My Son-In-Law Is Secretly A Crime Lord Chapter 70 : Denial
Jason's heart was pounding in his chest, he almost felt dizzy due to how high his blood pressure had risen.He began taking deep breaths in order to calm down, but he did it for way too long, causing him to freak out even more when he realized that his delay had probably raised the Maestro's suspicions of him even more.Jason had no idea the Maestro would even be interested in the Phillips family fundraiser, much less attend it himself.He wondered who exactly at that party was the Maestro, he wondered how everyone there would have reacted if they knew the Maestro of the underworld was in there with them.But most importantly, he cursed himself for not being more discreet with his attendance, as in hindsight, he couldn't believe he didn't expect the Maestro to attend such a high-profile event, even if it was miles away from his city of base.But none of that mattered any more, what as done, was done, now all Jason could hope for was to save himself, and if possibly, his ambitions.Jas
My Son-In-Law Is Secretly A Crime Lord Chapter 71 : Dawkins's investigation
Richard Dawkins's Account :The day is the seventeenth of the month of April, roughly one day after I was contacted by good old Eric Phillips to sort out his families little problem.Yes, I do consider a building getting drone struck to not even be on the top ten list of things I give a rat's ass about.But luckily for the Phillips family, there's money on the line, and most importantly, information to be uncovered.This means that suddenly, I now give a rat's ass about it.I always love solving cases, especially the ones no one else can solve, makes me feel good about myself.Most importantly though, it helps me fill a hole that's been left in my body, a hole put there by my inability to solve one particular case, probably the only case I cared about.The city of Reville is completely rotten, I know that one thing leads to another over here, and all of them bloody criminal gangs know each other.So I keep hoping that by solving each of these cold cases, they'll bring me closer and cl
My Son-In-Law Is Secretly A Crime Lord Chapter 72 : The investigation continues
The time was 7:30 am, when I finally arrived at the door of the Reville department of the Orzan space agency.The building was a pretty large one, and was located on the outskirts of the city, a rather dry and humid region that barely anyone ever even visited, except for maybe children on excursions.I was able to easily get through the guards by showing them my badge, the diamond badge was such a big deal, that they didn't even try to force me to remove my face mask.Before I got this badge, keeping my face mask on, and entering into any building with even the lightest bit of security, was usually a problem.I typically got through these situations, by saying I wore it for health reasons, this usually worked for more low end spots, but I was forced to improvise whenever I went into anything above, or below a certain level.Once I entered into the building, I noticed that the place was packed to the brim with data scientists, engineers, and other personnel.The sounds of beeping compu
My Son-In-Law Is Secretly A Crime Lord Chapter 73 : Jason's deception
Jason needed to calm down, but as much as he tried, this time he could not.His entire body was soaked in sweat, so much so that little drops started getting into his eyes, causing him to wince in pain.As he lay on his couch, taking many deep breaths in a vain attempt to lower his heart rate, he wondered how he couldn't have seen this coming.OF COURSE THE MAESTRO OF THE UNDERWORLD KNEW OF HIS UNDERGROUND DEALINGS.The moment the Maestro said the words he said, every single bit of these plans were in the sewers.His entire plan hinged on the Maestro having absolutely no idea that Comet defences technologies, was still functional.That way, once Jason got the Maestro to officially reopen the company, he could sign the partnership with the Phillips, and his plans would move on from there.The fact that the Maestro was aware that Jason never shut down Comet defences technologies, meant that he would be keeping a close eye on every single dealing the division undertook.This meant that t
My Son-In-Law Is Secretly A Crime Lord Chapter 74 : Fear of the Maestro
Jason remained in place, sweating and breathing heavily.The Maestro hadn't said anything since he chuckled maniacally, and this made Jason more nervous than ever.In fact, he was sweating so much that he had created a mini puddle underneath where he sat.“So tell me, Jason, what exactly did you discuss with the Phillips family?” asked Dean.At this point, Jason knew there was no need to lie, any lies would simply dig the hole he was in deeper, since he suspected the Maestro was probably aware of everything he told Eric.“I discussed the possibility of a deal between the Philips family, and Comet defences technologies” replied Jason.“This is why I requested that CDT be reopened, as I intended to create an official partnership between Comet defences technologies, and the Phillips security company”“Partnership, why not a merger, or better yet, why didn't you ask to purchase the company outright?” asked Dean, pretending not to know the answer that that exact question.“I did boss, but
My Son-In-Law Is Secretly A Crime Lord Chapter 75 : The Phillips contract
The Contract Dean had received from Jason was certainly a very intriguing one.The more Dean read through it, the more he was able to see between the lines of the written texts, discovering the real intentions behind many of the words written on it. The first thing mentioned in the contract was of course the partnership itself.The terms were simple, and it stated that the Phillips security company would officially partner up with Comet defences technologies.The deal was written in such a way that the current Phillips family shareholders would still retain 90% of the company.At first, Dean was confused by the part of the deal, as it essentially looked like a bailout for the Philips security company, which was currently not in the best of shape.It was then that he remembered the conversation Eric Phillips had with Jason, concerning the trading of the Phillips security building.Right on cue, the next section of the contract spoke of the Phillips security building.The contract stip
My Son-In-Law Is Secretly A Crime Lord Chapter 76 : The Dawkins report
As much as Dean wanted to call Carlos back, to inquire about his call, he held himself back. He knew that things were about to get pretty heated, so he'd rather have a proper rest before confronting whatever Carlos threw at him the next day. Before he went to bed, Dean sent Carlos a message, telling him to head to their regular meeting place at the Shadow Acre, and wait for him there. Carlos would promptly respond with a thumbs up, informing his boss that he'll be there by at latest 9:00 am. With this arrangement finalized, Dean went to sleep. .... Once Dean awoke from his slumber, he checked his watch, the time was 6:14 am. He turned to look at Mia who was supposed to be beside him, and saw that she was still asleep. Once he got out of bed, at first he wanted to do his daily morning exercises, but then he got another idea. He quickly rushed into the bathroom and had a quick shower, he was going to attempt to be more punctual than Carlos for once. While Dean always used to be

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
