"Sir, are you going to let General Ashton in?" asked Emmerich, sensing a bad feeling about Ashton's arrival. Cassius, who had controlled his emotions, answered, "We should listen to what he has to say. He might change his mind and decide to work with me!" A few years ago, Cassius invited Ashton to join The Orchid Combine. He had to beg several times to gain full power over the military. Unfortunately, Ashton refused Cassius because he only wanted to serve his country. Since he did not cooperate with Cassius, the military always asked him first whenever the president ordered something. Ashton's power in the military is unbelievably strong. He could have used it to his advantage. But since he was not that kind of person, he was already satisfied with his position as general. "What if the General didn't come for that?" Emmerich questioned again.Ashton grinned. "I'm sure he came here after finding out I'm going to be a presidential candidate this term. He must have realized my influ
Hugo and Kaden arrived at a park after following the location Warrick had given them. Once they got out of the car, they saw a man in a black mask sitting alone. Kaden recognized the man as Warrick from his physical features. "The man we're looking for is over there," he said, pointing at the masked man. Meanwhile, Warrick looked around to find Kaden, who had just informed him that he had arrived. He frowned to see Kaden coming with a man he did not recognize. "I'm Hugo, the current head of the Silent Shadow Bureau," Hugo introduced himself upon seeing Warrick's curious gaze. Warrick, who had heard of the SSB, was reminded of something. "It turns out you are the boss of Marcos, the spy working for Zayden." "Yes, I am. But you don't need to worry because I've told Marcos to follow your wishes.""What's your reason for suddenly coming to see me?" Kaden smiled as Warrick glanced at him. He was the one who brought Hugo without permission, so he had to give an explanation."I know y
Kaden and Hugo had no idea what Warrick did to Oliver. But they were sure Oliver would not just show them the evidence of his corruption. Officials were always careful about their corruption. Even their families did not know they were embezzling public money. "Evidence of corruption?" Oliver seemed to be thinking hard. "Although I admire you, I can't give you something like that!" Warrick had expected the effect of Spellbound Hearts to not be strong on Oliver since they did not know each other. "I'm disappointed that you can't accept my request. Don't you admire me? I only ask you for one thing. If I were evil, I would rob your entire house." Hearing Warrick's strange words, Kaden and Hugo could not help but think he was crazy. Yet, Oliver was affected by those strange words. He walked over to a safe and took something out of it."This is what you wanted," Oliver said, handing a bank statement to Warrick."Where did these funds come from?" Warrick asked as he noticed the unusual
Luis was curious about what happened at the party, but he did not dare ask because he knew Zayden was mad. "I found interesting information from Sky Vision. Two strange men met Clive Gray, the Chairman. Clive recognized them as people from the government." The information put Zayden in a bad mood. He growled in annoyance. "That's useless information if they are officials!" "There was something strange about the arrival of those two men. I got a report that they fussed with the receptionist and Clive didn't recognize them at first. One of them also claimed to be the owner of the company.""Then, what happened?""Surprisingly, Clive admitted to recognizing them immediately after hearing that claim."Zayden regained his composure as Luis reported useful information. "What about Flower Entertainment?" "There's nothing suspicious about the company." "For now, we will keep an eye on Sky Vision. Get more details about those two men!" "Understood. I will infiltrate there as a janitor."
Kilian could not enjoy his coffee in peace because of Ashton's grim face. Yesterday, two hours after Ashton returned from the presidential palace, he came back to his senses and wondered why he had acted rashly by defending Warrick in front of the president. At that time, Kilian explained Ashton agreed to Warrick's request over the phone to meet Cassius. Ashton contacted Warrick directly yesterday, but he had to wait because Warrick was still in Atheria. Now, Ashton and Kilian were at a café waiting for Warrick's arrival. The café had a special room for customers who wanted privacy. Kilian had rented a room for Ashton and Warrick's meeting. "Did Warrick use magic on me?" Ashton was still thinking about the strange occurrence that had happened to him. Kilian replied hesitantly, "I don't know the truth, but it was indeed strange that you obeyed him." "I think I've lost my mind. There's no way an ordinary human could use magic!" "I know. That's why I'm confused about what happen
Ashton invited Warrick to converse at his residence because he had considered him a partner. At the gate, a boy stood accompanied by four bodyguards. He was Edgar, who had drowned at Sunray Majestic Beach and was saved by Warrick. The incident left bad memories in Edgar's subconscious, so he spent most of his time in therapy."Grandpa, who is it?" Edgar ran up to Ashton, who had just gotten out of the car. His curious, wary gaze fell on Warrick. "He's Warrick, the one who saved you on the beach," Ashton happily introduced Warrick. "Would you greet him?"The suspicious disappeared from Edgar's gaze, replaced by a twinkle of amazement. Back at the hospital, he overheard the guards talking about the man who had saved him. He always whined to meet Warrick. Yet, Ashton prioritized his therapy. "Finally, I get to meet you! Thanks for saving me that time. If you were not there, I can't imagine what would have happened to me!" Warrick smiled. "I just did what I was supposed to do.""I s
[Name: Amos PearsonInformation Details: Amos once lived at the Blue Iris Orphanage, founded by Grace Vernidras and Aaron Vathorne, Cassius' uncle. But Amos knows nothing about Grace as she kept her donations hidden from the public.All Amos knows is Aaron saved him from his abusive parents. For this reason, he's loyal to Cassius. He would never forget the people who contributed to his life.]Warrick did not know Grace had founded an orphanage. But he knew his mother had been close to Aaron, the president before Cassius. Known as a generous rich woman, Grace naturally figured out Aaron because he was active in charity work. Unfortunately, the image of a good president was a fake attitude for the public. Warrick believed Aaron and Cassius were involved in his mother's death. He put the matter aside and continued reading the next information. [Name: Derwin Bull. Details: Derwin was in a special prison located on a remote island. The prison contains dangerous criminals. Amos was The
Warrick had just finished meeting with the acquisitions team when Ryder called him. "It's me, your grandfather. I got your number from Liska.""Good afternoon, Grandpa!" Warrick greeted Ryder cheerfully. "Why did you call me? Is there something important?" "I want to talk about our deal." Hearing that, Warrick's heart pounded with excitement. "That means you already know what happened, right?"Yes, I knew it from Liska. You became popular among the rich just overnight."Ryder was relaxing at home after returning from the art exhibition. He hurriedly called Warrick to discuss bout company shares."Is Liska with you now?" asked Warrick, curious. "Yes, she's here," Ryder handed Liska his cell phone. "Warrick asked about you." Liska greeted Warrick in a cheerful voice, "Congratulations, my bro! Grandpa has decided to give you the promised shares." "I should have said that!" Ryder complained, earning a giggle from Liska. The deal had been completed since Ryder would be handing over
