Aiden was surprised to hear that. Now, all he could think about was how Neira and Ilana were doing in his house. Even though there were plenty of guards there, he was still worried about them.Aiden looked at Muller with sharp eyes full of worry. "Prepare the helicopter to go there now."Muller nodded his head respectfully, just as panicked as Aiden. "Yes, Master."Muller immediately rushed to dial the phone number of his men to prepare the helicopter on one of the rooftops of the Robinson family's skyscrapers nearby in a low tone of voice so as not to further aggravate Aiden's currently bad mood full of anxiety. Of course, it was because he thought about how his two women at home were doing.The car drove quickly towards one of the buildings around there. It was so fast that what should have taken half an hour only took fifteen minutes. They littered the building's open parking lot. Aiden and Muller exited the car and rushed into the elevator, heading for the rooftop floor.As soon a
The man laughed, then got up. He felt pleased that he had made one step towards defeating Aiden. He snapped his fingers, and several of his men entered the room. Some turned on the lights in the stuffy room, and others brought chairs and cold drinks for the man.The man sipped his cold drink with one foot resting on the other. "It's nice to be one step ahead of Aiden. I wonder what he's doing right now, looking for you guys?"The man laughed again, looking relaxed as he played with his fingertips at the mouth of the glass while watching Neira and Ilana. He imagined the look on Aiden's face as he frantically searched for her since they weren't home.The man who kidnapped Neira and Ilana was named Sansco. He was the heir to one of the other wealthy families that competed with the Robinson family. Right now, he really felt that he was already greater than Aiden. Observing a great man was quite a waste of time, so the present was his most enjoyable pastime.Sansco took another sip of his
Sansco did not accept Aiden's words, calling him a fool. "Damn it! How dare you call me stupid. You're the one who's stupid, Aiden!"Aiden smiled slightly, bringing his lips close to Sansco's ear. "Your stupidity is obvious, Sansco. It's because you're too confident in yourself. And you're too trusting of the words of your men who say what I do. Depressed? Locking myself away? I'm not doing that, you fool!""Asshole! I'm not wrong because you did those things. You showed how much you were frustrated with your defeat. I had my eyes on you!" Sansco was confident in saying that.Aiden smiled faintly as he pressed his weapon harder until it made Sansco wince slightly, enduring the pain. "Spies, huh? And you believed what he said? It was all just a trick of mine. I deliberately set it up because people like you who are narcissistic are easily trapped in situations that seem to exalt your status. And you, you fell into my trap."Aiden did know that Sansco was a man from a wealthy family two
Aiden signalled to the two guards holding Sansco's hands to let go of the helpless man. Aiden's two bodyguards nodded in acknowledgement. They both immediately let go of Sansco's hand, causing the man to collapse to the floor with a loud crash.Sansco cried out in pain. His legs, arms, and even half of his body were covered in knife wounds. The wounds were so deep that they seemed to tear into the veins and blood vessels. Sansco couldn't say anything but scream in pain, making Neira and Ilana scowl in fear behind Aiden.Aiden twisted his body, holding the hands of the two women. "Come on, let's get out of here."Neira and Ilana could only nod, agreeing with Aiden's words. They quickly left, leaving Sansco lying wounded alone. Meanwhile, all of Sansco's men were gone.Aiden opened the backseat car door for the two women. Neira and Ilana got into the car. The bodyguards there bowed, paying their respects to Aiden. He looked at Muller standing before him. "Take care of everything.""Yes,
The two Aiden women had gotten permission to go see their families. The two of them left with bodyguards closely guarding them. Aiden, meanwhile, went to visit his grandfather at the Robinson family's main house.As usual, Aiden's arrival was warmly welcomed by all the servants there. "Welcome back, Mr. Aiden."Aiden only responded with a nod of his head. He immediately met his grandfather in the main room. There was still Doctor Doris in there, who had just finished checking on Victor. Aiden entered the room with slow footsteps as he saw that Victor's eyes were closed.Doris put his medical equipment back into his medical bag, then bowed respectfully when he noticed Aiden's arrival. "Mr. Aiden."Aiden nodded with a faint smile. "How is grandfather?"Doris let out a slightly long breath. His breathing was quite heavy. "Mr. Victor's condition has been deteriorating since the announcement that day, especially when he heard about the bombing that happened to you. Although he knew you wer
Aiden paused, then remembered something. Muller had once told him about Victor's best friend, but he couldn't remember his name. Now, he knew that Muller's best friend was Arthur Frederick.Aiden looked seriously at Arthur. His hair fluttered for a moment in the fresh breeze. "How do you want to help?"Aiden knew that the old man in front of him was a politician, and he had initially thought Arthur was an ordinary politician despite his extraordinary and powerful position. Arthur's position in the government was a minister of finance. However, Aiden didn't believe that a politician could act honestly because he had always found politicians who were dishonest and disloyal to the people.Arthur chuckled with a face that still looked friendly but also stern. "You underestimate me too much. You should be in a higher position than you are now, and I will get rid of those who try to get in your way by making them powerless so that your life will be more peaceful and not in danger like it is
Aiden smiled slightly in response to the two women showing their spoiled nature before him. "I had a good day. When did you return?"Ilana and Neira answered in unison, "This afternoon. We passed each other in front of the gate."Aiden nodded. The two women immediately pulled Aiden's arm to sit with them on the sofa in the television room. The two of them shared how their families responded when they returned home."My aunt was amazed when I came home. She heard about the bombing at your residence on television. I didn't expect the news to spread so quickly, either. It's a good thing my aunt didn't fall ill again." Neira pursed her lips slightly because if her aunt had been hospitalized again, she would have had to accompany her only family member and be unable to see Aiden.Ilana didn't want to be outdone by Neira either. "My father was also shocked when he saw me come home. His face even turned pale because he feared something bad would happen to me. But ...." Ilana's words were int
The waiter who had written down Aiden and Jeremy's order returned to their table with a tray of two American less sugar glasses. "Your order has arrived; please enjoy. Excuse me."The waitress who delivered the order excused herself from their presence. But before he could step away, Aiden called out to the waiter again, which made the waiter turn back to face Aiden."May I help you again, sir?" the waiter asked respectfully and politely.Aiden nodded. "Give us the chess set." Aiden could see some game displays as accessories in the corner of the room."Yes, sir. I'll get it right away." The servant didn't ask many questions and simply nodded, agreeing to Aiden's request.The waiter immediately went to one corner of the room and quickly retrieved a sizable chessboard. He slowly and carefully placed the chessboard on Aiden and Jeremy's table.The waiter bowed half of his body politely. "Then you'll have to excuse me, sir."Aiden immediately opened the chessboard and gathered the pieces
