"Everything is as you say, Mr. Margo. Lucas Carter would have been trapped, and that woman would have been easy to get." Ricky was on the phone with someone he considered necessary.Just an hour ago, he received 200 million dollars, which he used to hire mercenaries for his operations.He will receive other funds in addition to other operational costs. It will be a fee for him.He was walking around very happy about this. The servants were quite surprised by his speech but did not dare say anything, letting their great master into his room.The happy Ricky plopped down on the sofa and acted casually. "Yes, I got that information from you. She will come to the party, and I will do a little provocation there.""You have to do it well. I'll be watching from afar." Ricky was pleased to hear Margo's answer; the man's attention was an extraordinary compliment. In the evening, dinner was served in the Ryot living room. He didn't care about Leona and called her to eat together, which depres
On this quiet night, there was no peace for the woman who had been busy munching on the snacks in her hand. She bought them out of curiosity for new things she had never experienced. Once she tried them, she liked them so much that she had already eaten four bags.“Come on, Lora, why do you look so worried?” Nolan, who was in the same room, felt disturbed by his daughter’s noisy snacking. He had been reviewing work documents but lowered his glasses, staring more intently at her. Lora sighed.“Father, of course, I’m anxious. You know something terrifying might happen to us tonight.” She set the snacks down in frustration, her eyes sharp with worry.She glanced around the room. There were many unfamiliar faces and even more people outside. “Father… something bad could happen, right…?” Her voice was raspy, partly because she had eaten too many snacks. Her unease was understandable. She already knew about Ricky's threat. Lucas had warned her that the man intended harm to her and her fam
Ricky furiously threw items around his office. He was enraged after realizing that his plan had failed. The people he had paid should have been reporting to him by now, but over twenty minutes had passed, and there was no word.Ricky knew something was wrong. He suspected that the mercenaries he hired had failed. Now, he had already given the order to attack Lucas. The man was on the road—an ideal spot to ensure his demise."Just wait, tomorrow there will be a funeral," he muttered, clenching his fists tightly.In a deserted area, an ambush was taking place. Shots were being fired at the vehicle in the middle of the trap, but none of the bullets penetrated the car.“Wow, he’s using a bulletproof car,” one of the men in black said, licking his lips.As they celebrated the attack, a sudden barrage of gunfire shocked them. Turning around, they realized that the shots were aimed at them.“What the hell!?”“Take cover!”They were caught off guard by the counterattack. When they had positio
Margo was quite shocked by the news he received. He didn’t expect much from relying on Ricky, as he looked messy. Still, he should have been able to deliver a solid blow to the Carter family. Margo sought information about Lucas Carter, and it was pretty surprising to hear rumors that Lucas attended the same university as Lora. It was strange, but that was the reality."Everything's ruined... he's completely useless." Margo clenched his hands tightly. He poured himself a drink, his emotions heavy and dark. Fortunately, he had never shown that he and Ricky were close. Yet he was still deeply concerned that the worthless man might spill secrets.“No wonder the boss kept his identity hidden.” Margo gulped down his drink quickly, the heat rising in his chest.Two servants entered the room, and Margo shot them a sharp glance. “Why are you here?” He looked at them coldly, his mind racing, lumping all the servants together.“Are you not going to answer!?” he snapped, causing one of the serva
Margo was preparing, not wanting to make his master wait. He wanted to ensure everything went smoothly so that his ambition to control the world could come to fruition. Despite his headache from last night's drinking, he forced himself to head to the predetermined location. He gazed at the tall, luxurious tower in front of him. The building had stood for over twenty years, meticulously maintained."Alright," he muttered before entering the building. The staff inside immediately bowed to greet him. Upon realizing it was Margo, one of the employees escorted him to the designated room. Margo finally entered on the 19th floor at the far end of the corridor. As usual, many guards were standing watch, their eyes sharp and vigilant, even though the guest was one of their master's allies."You're finally here," the masked man said, his voice calm as he poured himself a drink. Margo was surprised; usually, the man with the crow mask would be accompanied by the man with the fox mask, but today,
Justin's expression was so tense inside the moving car that it made everyone else uncomfortable. The pressure was palpable, making even breathing difficult."My brother also said to keep him alive and make him our servant," Justin said while on a call with someone, his face as hard as stone. Glancing out the window, he noticed they were passing through a tree-lined road. "I don't understand your logic."Today, he had to meet Margo alone since his brother was elsewhere. "It’s better to get rid of Margo, Austin."Sitting in an aeroplane with his back against the chair, Austin remained calm. "You don't understand that we can use him as bait. The Carter family will likely be occupied with Margo, and then we can infiltrate their home. Haven’t you noticed how different he is now compared to before?"Justin remained silent for a moment. Though their faces resembled each other, something about Lucas Carter seemed different. He had heard rumours that the head of the Carter family had been ill.
“Well, the Tracy family who had a conflict with this family a year ago can't seem to get over it.” he stared calmly while peeling the red apple in his hand. “They are annoying.”He cut the apple whose skin was all peeled off. “But don't worry, I'll deal with them quickly, Louis.” he stopped chewing, watching her twin brother with eyes that looked so weak.He exhaled. His brother didn't even respond to what he said, but he continued doing things like that. Perhaps in his heart, he hoped Louis would take him at his word. It would be an extraordinary miracle for that man to wake up and do many things right now.Brain dead.That was the reality that Lucas was facing. The man who was lying down was not going to wake up at all; he was just waiting quietly for the time of his death, and that was why Lucas could not make the time of this man's death so bad.His heart didn't feel too good about this, so he shut up and left the room. He had already told the man who did not respond what he knew.
"Is everything alright?" Lora, who was eating in front of him, finally asked while he watched her uneasily.The situation is bad, and the attack that happened to them is something he doesn't like. Lucas is the one who faces those dangerous people. She remembers very well that just facing them was a very scary thing. Surely, what Lucas faced was more than what he faced.Lucas seems to realize what is happening in Lora's mind, looking uncomfortable talking to her. Lora continued to stay home after the attack, and the Carter family continued to guard her.Their lunch at this time was also done at Felix's family home. Lucas didn't want Lora to be in danger at all."I'm fine. Now we know who is the mastermind of all those attacks." Lucas put a piece of meat in his mouth. He chewed very calmly while making others curious about what he said earlier.Lora couldn't continue her meal. She continued to watch Carter, hoping the man would better explain what she had said earlier. Lucas swallowed t
