Author's point of view...Jack Davinson booked a VIP private room next to the supreme hall and was eagerly waiting for someone to call him. Though it cost him more than his two month's salary, he didn't feel the slightest pain. He was promoted after all. And the position he was in now was not a normal one. Jack will be announced as the General Manager of the Diamond Oracle.The ladies next to him were overjoyed as he shared the news with them and were here to celebrate his promotion.In the supreme hall, the atmosphere turned cold as the members of the family started discussing the thing that had just been revealed to them."Could it be true?" "So the young master is an imposter? What a shame..." "I heard he worked as a janitor in Dave's office. Is that true?"Many people have many perspectives but none could detour Leo.He just sat there rubbing his chin. He wasn't terrified as he knew better than anyone else that though the accusation was correct, the old man didn't have any eviden
Author's point of view...The moment Jack Davinson saw the chair turning towards him, he bowed in respect before greeting the chairwoman's son, the real heir of the Longsfire Corporation. But as he lifted his head to see the young man's face, he froze.Leo...!What the hell is happening?Though he was shocked, there was not even a single doubt in his head that the young man could really be the heir. Instead, he was sure that Leo might be conning these people and he had his chance coming.A smirk tugged on his face and one of the corners of his lips twitched.Now that he was called here to meet everyone in the family, he thought that he could gain his place in the company by letting the cheater get caught. He narrowed his eyes at Leo. "Leo...! What the hell are you doing here?" Jack furiously barked. Everyone in the supreme hall was shocked to see Jack's rude temperament. Being just a candidate for GM in one of the small companies under Longsfire Corporation, Jack was actually shoutin
Author's point of view...As the video was seen, a heavy silence hung in the air, Linda, Margaret, and the rest of the family members exchanged incredulous glances. Soon the silence turned into a roar of chirping. The gravity of the situation sank in, and their expressions shifted from shock to anger.Leo still sat casually. He didn't have the slightest change of expression on his face. All he was thinking was about Jack. What the hell was this man thinking about? Leo couldn't understand what he must call Jack, an idiot or a fool. He truly knows to stab himself without mercy.Jack raised his head proudly and boosted,"See, I wasn't lying...! You guys were deceived by him. He was indeed a janitor in Diamond Oracle a few months back and was also a wanted criminal..." However, he couldn't continue as someone interrupted him before he could finish speaking.Margaret's face reddened with rage as she moved forward and smacked Jack across the cheek with her palm. "You Bastard. How dare y
Author's point of view... Jack was dragged out ruthlessly, not only his position and status was gone, he was subjected to the cruellest third degree of treatment by the police. Ronald promised that he would make sure of that. Thomas's entire world shattered. He was on the verge of collapsing when he heard Leo's words just now. He glared at Leo with utmost contempt in his eyes as if finding a means to pounce on that young man and rip his throat away. But...! Can he do it? He clenched his fist so much that his fingernails dug into his palm, piercing the skin. It was painful. Indeed very painful but not because of the wound on his plans, instead his heart was in great pain. He soon collapsed on his seat with his head hung in despair. Everything was finished in a flash of a second. The dreams that he had to own the company after Helen's death fumed before him and he could not stop them from burning. He was helpless but for the first time in his life, he could face his oppon
Author's point of view... As another lovely day came to an end, Leo felt reenergized in the morning. These days he was busy with his project. He went to a lot of inexpensive but good restaurants with Jessica's aid, and together they met all those talented but undiscovered chefs in the city. Jessica was so puzzled. Even though she loved eating, she was unable to comprehend Leo's mental state. Gathering the most skilled but underrated chefs, giving them a platform to shine, and letting their culinary genius speak for itself was the simple but profound notion that gave rise to Leo's goal of opening a distinctive restaurant. With minimal investment, he found a quaint, slightly rundown corner of the city that had the potential to become a culinary hotspot. The first step was to assemble his team. Leo scoured the city, visiting food stalls, small eateries, and even homeless shelters, looking for chefs with extraordinary talent but little opportunity. He met several other
Author's point of view... Just as Leo entered the restaurant at night, his phone buzzed. A message notification from Alvin flashed on his phone screen. "Plan in progress" "Targo Gang. Merits- Martial Arts. Night attackers. Be careful" Leo raised his eyebrows as he read the message but it was already too late for him to respond. The lights in the restaurant were switched off or maybe tampered and Leo senses some black figures moving towards him. "Aagh...So they are here already...!" Leo tried to fight back, grabbing a nearby kitchen knife, but he was quickly overpowered. The lead assassin stepped forward, his voice cold and menacing. "You’re quite something, huh?" "Retreat, stoop, and lift your right leg to a ninety-degree." a quick instruction was heard and Leo acted without even noticing where it came from. The voice seemed to be familiar and commanding at the same time and Leo felt like he was obliged to take those commands. Surprisingly, he was able to dodge
Author's point of view... "We caught the men who attacked you last night," Harris began, his voice grave. He looked up at Leo and paused for a while as if thinking about how to put his mind out. "But there's a problem." From the moment Leo stepped inside the police station, he had anticipated that things wouldn't go easily here, and it was evident that something was off as he saw the expressions on everyone's faces. He noticed that they were all hesitant about something. Some were even avoiding looking into his eyes for a reason. Taking a deep breath, Leo asked in a calm tone. "What is it?" Harris gulped down nervously before rubbing his hands. Leo took a clear note of everything that the man before him was doing. "Actually..." Harris began, still hesitating, "We caught them yesterday, but all of the men we apprehended are dead. They have committed suicide." Leo's eyes widened in shock. "What? How is that possible?" Harris sighed, rubbing his temples, and walked ba
Author's point of view... An hour later, Leo found himself standing outside a dilapidated warehouse. The area was deserted, adding to the eerie atmosphere. He pushed open the creaky door and stepped inside. The interior was dimly lit by a few scattered overhead lights, casting long shadows. Though a bit creepy, the place didn't give Leo any sense of insecurity. He walked in carefully, without making any noise. After reaching the middle of what felt like a workshop of the warehouse, Leo paused, hearing some muffled sounds. "Mr. Connard...?," a voice called out from the shadows. Leo turned around instantly to see the source of the voice only to find an unclear structure of a man. Daniels slowly stepped forward, his expression tense. As the light fell on his face, Leo could now see him. Daniel was a man in his forties. A short yet fit man with a serious scar on his face. "Thanks for coming," Daniel added, gratefully. Leo nodded, acknowledging. "What’s this about?" Leo ask
