What kind of asshole is Jacob Reid? Stay tuned for the next chapter
"Did you know that today the Great Master brought a young man to his mansion?" Asked the man holding the flashlight as lighting to the other man who was seen carrying a large cardboard box in his hand. "Yes. I heard it from some of the guards in the mansion. What is it?" "Nothing. Just curious. Because from what I heard, the Great Master seemed to respect that young man so much that even the people in the mansion had to be careful when dealing with him." "Seriously? I wonder what kind of man could make the Great Master bow down to him. You know yourself that Great Master is a person who-" The mouth of the man holding the box unconsciously let out words that shouldn't be said, making the man holding the flashlight reflexively silence him with his hand while whispering, "Shut up! Watch your mouth! What if someone hears? Do you want to lose your life by talking about the Great Master?" He said in warning. Instantly the man holding the box pursed his lips while widening his eyes.
They had been traveling between cities for over 3 hours. During that time, Louzen had analyzed the outline of the problem in Spyro's company that Frederick had left for him and discussed it with Jackson because, in the car, they were free to talk without anyone hearing them. There was nothing to worry about. The car prepared by Jackson was not one of the cars in the Great Master's residence, so it minimized their conversations being intercepted. During the trip, they encountered several obstacles that required stopping and wasting time. Moreover, the afternoon trip through the city's main road caused them to inevitably participate in traffic jams because it coincided with the return time of office workers. After arriving in the capital city of Clayton, Louzen chose to stop temporarily at the Royal Garden hotel in the capital city of Clayton. One of the star hotels is located not far from the Kennedy residence. The long journey made him hot, and when he wanted to return to Frederic
There was no fear in Lidya's mind even though her uncle was rude to her. Instead, she tried to release the grip with all her might. However, despite using both hands, Uncle John still did not let go. "Let--let go! I-I don't know where Louzen is either. Isn't this what you want, Uncle... John!" Lidya struggled to speak and released the grip. "You bastard! You must have intended for the division of Father's inheritance to fail, right? You insolent nephew! Why don't you die with your father!" John shouted with uncontrollable anger. Because of that, he released his grip with all his might until Lidya's body hit the wall and caused a loud crash. Cough... cough Lidya coughed from John's grip. Her back felt crushed because the impact was quite challenging. Luckily, it was only her back that hit the wall because when John slammed her into the wall, her head was down. Lidya tried to stand up with difficulty. Instead of being scared, she grinned. "If you don't accept Grandpa's decision, wh
"Shameless!" Lidya whispered. Her cheeks were red from her husband's teasing, and this was the first time Louzen had done that to her. Having a place to lean on, especially since it was her husband, made Lidya reluctant to let go of the hug. It felt comfortable, and all her worries seemed to disappear. Louzen still did not accept it, having been treated like trash and not considered by Lidya and his mother-in-law. But he realized it wasn't entirely their fault. There was a possibility that Louzen, the owner of the body, deliberately did that to hide by keeping a low profile as if he was invisible. It was very troublesome indeed. But this time, he would not do the same because X was occupying Louzen's body. In the past, he regretted not being able to keep Victoria. This time he could not lose Lidya and the critical people by his side. Some time had passed, and Louzen released his embrace on Lidya after she had calmed down. Louzen looked back at Lidya's swollen face, and he kne
"Watch out, Louzen! I'm certainly not going to let you off so easily!" Dante growled beneath his pent-up anger. He might have finished him off right then and there if it had not been in public. Louzen heard Dante's threat but refused to respond because it was useless. The people gossiping about him suddenly silenced their mouths after they saw that he could render Dante helpless. Ignoring the people who continued to watch him for being able to resist Dante's words, Louzen instead went over to one of the guests who had been calling out to him since entering the room. The guest who greeted Louzen was a young man with undercut black hair, wearing a navy blue suit with white Caucasian skin. He was quite tall, though not as tall as Louzen, and from how he greeted, he was friendly. Since the man was the only one who wanted to talk to him, so Louzen finally approached him. As soon as he stood right in front of the young man who had called out to him earlier, Louzen was surprised by t
Before saying a few words, Louzen was silent and looked at all the guests. There was no particular expression. He only showed a calmness that seemed unfazed despite the scornful, dismissive gaze that could intimidate. Louzen stood in front of the microphone placed in front of him. After exhaling for a few moments, he began to speak. "Good evening to the guests of the Kennedy family and the honored families who have been invited to attend the Kennedy family's monthly banquet to commemorate the death of Senior Grandfather George Kennedy. I am not anyone here, but the nuclear family is so kind as to give me a place to speak to the guests. I do not want to speak at length. I want to say that I am grateful to be part of this family. I am especially grateful to my late grandfather George who was so kind to accept me as I am. Without him, I would be nothing here. Therefore, I would like to offer my best wishes at tonight's program for grandpa to enjoy a comfortable life in heaven. That's al
The two middle-aged men with important status in the distribution of inheritance rights waited for Louzen's reaction to hearing the hidden truth about himself for years. But the reality was not what they thought it would be. Despite knowing the facts about himself from others, Louzen was not the least bit surprised. And that surprised the middle-aged men in the room. "Your Majesty, you are not surprised in the slightest. It seems like you knew about your true identity beforehand." "Hn. I already know my identity. I did not have any memories of my mother and me as a child being expelled from Dukedom to a life of abandonment after her death. But some time ago, someone told me about this." "Who is that person, Your Majesty? As far as I know, only a few people know about this incident." "I don't know. I don't remember." X himself did not know where Louzen knew about his identity. When Jacob told him about Louzen's identity, his position at that time must have known about him. "We
Louzen looked at the figure sitting uneasily next to him. He looked at the fierce face that seemed to hold a lot of burdens there. Especially after the settlement of the inheritance rights that made her duty even more. He honestly felt sorry; it was just that there was nothing he could do but support and continue to be by her side. Even though he has duties that he must carry out, it's just that what's wrong with protecting a woman who is valuable to his life? He didn't want his previous stupidity to repeat itself and make him lose a helpful figure. Not long after, the car they were driving arrived at a magnificent house, Louzen's in-laws' house, which was indeed in the same city as the nuclear family, which made him have to stop by for a while. Moreover, it had been several days since he had come home, so he had no other reason to go, especially when he saw Lidya's pleading look. He felt terrible if he had to leave again, even after what Lidya got tonight. "Are you leaving again,
