Richard returned to the main residence early this afternoon. Once he finished his business in the village, he stopped to rest there. Upon his arrival home, he was met by James, who asked him to dine together."I heard you just returned from Venus Island." James lifted his gaze from the meat he was slicing on his plate.At the same time, Richard had just put the medium well steak into his mouth. He chewed quietly before answering. "Yes, I just got back from vacation there." Richard wiped his lips with a handkerchief. "I came to take a vacation, but it turned out that the work there wasn't running smoothly either, so I took care of it, Dad."James looked at him and listened seriously. "There was a problem there?""Yes."he took a sip of wine from his glass, then refocused on James. "There's a problem with the funds we've spent. One of the parties there didn't hand over the money we had spent as compensation for the company, so I took action to give them a lesson."James nodded, and he ag
"Have you prepared everything, Smith?" Richard exited his room and glanced at Smith, who was already standing guard nearby.Smith followed Richard at a respectable distance. He nodded and then moved quickly to check the tabs where his journals and the lists he had compiled and marked were. "Yes, sir. I have prepared some as requested, and some need to wait for completion."Richard nodded his head while tidying up the clothes he was wearing. He zipped up his suit by buttoning it, then turned his eyes to observe in another direction. "Good. Ensure the event runs smoothly without flaws." he glanced at Smith in the back. "I can count on you, can't I?" He asked for firmness in his question, which Smith took as a form of responsibility.Smith straightened his body and gaze, then nodded calmly and looked severe. "Of course, sir, you can enjoy the banquet in peace. I will make sure the event runs smoothly." He ushered Richard downstairs after Richard had been reassured by his words.The event
Richard who listened to their reactions briefly grinned slightly to find some of them choosing to be in his arrangement. "I'm glad if some of you understand and understand your position."Some of the people smiled in response to Richard's words. "Of course, we understand what our position is like and what position you have. We don't want to look for trouble or make the relationship between us worse. Like this is good enough, we will take orders that we can do, or even choose not to get involved if we are not expected to get involved." The man who was around fifty years old but still looked so healthy and fit smiled.It seemed that he interpreted his life with simple things, by not worrying too much about many things that were not his, doing things complicatedly like it was not something he chose. Judging from his relief, he was a man who didn't worry about many things and lived straight.Richard watched him with a smile. "Yes, even though this is a sibling relationship, we need to cla
"This can't be allowed!" Woody came out with some family members who agreed with his thoughts and took some fresh air outdoors.About five people opposed Richard's attitude, which they considered to be wrong. They thought Richard was too strict and rigid, arrogant, and disrespectful to people older than him. To those people, Richard was too pretentious. He didn't understand the term tolerance and was utterly uncultured.The other man, Chen, shook his head. "If he becomes the leader, then the situation will become even more chaotic," the man complained heavily.The others agreed by nodding their heads. "You're right!" they decided. "If someone like him takes the lead, the situation will become even more chaotic for us and the others as well."Woody, realizing where they were talking, motioned for them to be quiet. "Hold on." He glanced to his right and left in annoyance and looked around the place more carefully. You guys are discussing this right where it belongs. What are you doing?"
"What the hell! You can't treat us like this!" Woody shouted angrily. He moved his body as much as possible, making it difficult for the men to catch him.But his directionless movements only exhausted him, and he ended up with depleted energy. Her eyes stared at the vodka glass on the table. Then she quickly picked it up and banged the bottom against the wall, making it shatter and spiky. After that, she used it as a weapon to protect herself.He pointed the sharp glass at the people like a coward. "No one comes near, no one comes near, or I'll kill you with this!"Suddenly, his words made the others do the same with the bottle there. They stood behind Woody, making a circle that protected them from the inside while they pointed at the broken glass from the outside.The people in charge of catching them then sighed. Now, their job became more complicated because the people they were about to catch were arming themselves with such tools."It's best to put that thing down now and surre
He turned to look at the others there. Looking at each one of them who had joined Woody in this conversation. "I think I've made myself clear enough in front of you all, about the parts you can take from me, those parts never existed." He cast his gaze at the group of people.Woody, who had fallen on the table, slowly got up with a groan. His body was in excruciating pain, but he didn't want to stop until he got there to talk to Richard. "Why? Why do you think that we have no right to anything? Don't you think that we have a right to do it? We are part of the family." He was serious about his desire for the outcome that the Marrison family had.In the past, he knew that in the rise of the Marrison family, there was her family's intervention. There was the support of other families who contributed both funds and their labor, but now, when Richard said they had no share whatsoever, he felt hurt to hear it. He could not accept it and was determined to get it no matter what.Richard looke
"Where are you taking us?" Louise, awake from her sleep, looked out the window.Some time ago, the people were taken by Richard's private heli directly to a remote island. From the edge of the island, they were transferred to the car and went on a long road trip.The road took a long time and the road conditions were also not so smooth, they finally reached a place in the middle of nowhere, which Louise now looked at with a strange look."Why is this whole place so dark?" she commented, her eyes looking again at the others, and now her unease began to become clearer. "What are you guys doing? Where exactly are you taking us?" she panicked, her tone of voice rising and unsteady.The loud noise that filled the car woke up the other three members, who were still fast asleep. There were many reasons why those people were fast asleep. One of them was that it was late in the day, they were tired from the long day, and they were originally made unconscious to make it easier to move.Those wh
"Sir, I have ordered from Mr. James." Smith came with a tab in his hand, which he placed right on Richard's desk.Richard, who was working a moment ago, then took a pause. He picked up the tab on the table that he needed to check. Smith implored him to check what he had prepared there.Richard glanced at Smith in front of him, somewhat skeptically. "What did father order you to do?" He was unsure which of his father's orders Smith was currently carrying out.Smith looked at Ricard hesitantly while holding back a smile. He knew this was Richard's least favorite thing to do, but for some reason, Smith agreed to what James was doing for Richard this time. "Mr. James asked me to prepare a date for you.""Ah!" Richard immediately exclaimed lazily. He showed clearly that he had lost interest, but he had no choice but to refuse. "Did Father say anything else? Did he say anything to you?"Smith paused and recalled for a moment, then shook his head. "He just said to choose the best candidate f
