That evening, in MidRidge, the airport buzzed with activity as reporters and dignitaries crowded the scene. Notably, the heads of the top four families, who were usually a symbol of authority and composure, now bore expressions marred by displeasure. All but one of them.The delicate equilibrium meticulously maintained for numerous years had, at last, unraveled, tipping the scales in favor of a single family. The once shared dominance now belonged solely to the Morris family, and this shift in power was palpable in the atmosphere.The architect of this transformative change was none other than James Morris, the son of the Morris family patriarch and also the brother of Cynthia.His influence had propelled their family to the forefront, disrupting the longstanding power balance among the top four families in MidRidge.Throughout the nation of Varisia, the military held a revered status, diligently safeguarding the nation's borders against potential intruders. Despite MidRidge not b
"Moving on to the next issue at hand. Recently, my sister fell victim to an assault perpetrated by two individuals within the city, and I am determined to see them held accountable for their actions. The first wrongdoer is a familiar figure to many, Boss Kent, renowned as the underground King. The second assailant is Victor Parker, a son in law from a third rate family identified as nothing more than a poor loser."Julius, taken aback by this revelation, responded, "Oh, so Victor has crossed paths with you too?"In a synchronized manner, both James and Cynthia redirected their attention towards Julius, posing almost identical inquiries, "Do you happen to be acquainted with him?"Julius let out a sardonic laugh, "Certainly, I'm familiar with him. I can't fathom the workings of his mind or the methods he employs, but he's skillfully evaded every attempt I've made on him before. I suspect there's a link to Boss Kent, and that might be the key. This young man is a practitioner of traditio
After Victor wrapped up his statement, he rose from his seat, accompanied by Martin, Boss Kent, Michael, Ella, and Zion, as they exited the private hall. Observing their departure, James' countenance darkened with fury, leading him to forcefully shatter the glasses of wine in front of him before regaining composure.As Victor and the group made their exit, the resounding crashes reached Victor's ears, prompting him to unleash a mocking laughter and assert in a booming voice, "The battle has not even begun, yet it seems you've conceded defeat already."Realizing that they wouldn't have the audacity to pursue him, Victor, accompanied by his companions, continued forward. As they progressed, they maintained a vigilant watch and strategically advanced toward his private elevator. This exclusive elevator transported them to the uppermost floor, where a sense of liberation washed over Victor."Martin, I have doubts that James will remain passive. It's crucial for us to take the initiativ
After Butler Kain departed, Victor took a contemplative pause, gazing at the card momentarily before tucking it away into his pocket. With a decisive movement, he then ascended back to the top floor.The following morning, Victor descended from the uppermost floor using his private elevator. A light tune escaped his lips as he strolled through his lavish abode. Retrieving his phone from his pocket, he attempted to reach his wife, but to no avail – her number led to voicemail. Undeterred, he recorded a heartfelt voicemail."Hello, my love. How's your morning? I find myself missing you tremendously. Currently, I'm on my way to collect Amanda from the hospital. I've started the acquisition of essentials and things we need for our new home, aiming for us to possibly relocate today. After work, I plan to swing by to pick you up, and together, we will pick up mom before heading there. Can't wait to see you. I love you."After completing the task, he strolled toward the garage where Manage
On this tranquil day in MidRidge, the usual calm prevailed, and the police pursuit of Victor came to a halt following Martin's intervention. However, there was an undercurrent surging. After this calm was the stormVictor, in turn, stopped driving with such fast speed after a while and decided to instead to accompany his daughter to a nearby big amusement park where she could revel in the joy of playing with her peers and have fun.As Victor observed his daughter's unrestrained laughter and enthusiastic play, a cascade of smiles adorned his previously clouded face. This serene moment marked a stark contrast to his past, where thoughts of acquiring financial stability for his family and enduring the Gardner family's humiliation consumed his every contemplation. The unexpected tranquility of the present stood as a testament to the positive change that had taken root in Victor's life.As Victor observed his daughter from a distance, his attention was abruptly diverted by the presence
Victor maintained a stoic silence, his gaze fixed on the woman's husband. A chilling smile crept across his face, and the woman's husband, who had involuntarily dropped his cutlass, wore a fearful expression. As he prepared to shout a warning to his men, it was already too late as they had closed in on Victor and were already dropping their battons and baseball bats"Close your eyes," Victor instructed Amanda, who promptly obeyed. The descending battons and baseball bats were met with Victor's swift defense, blocking them with his arms. In a seamless sequence, he unleashed a barrage of punches and kicks, sending them all scattering through the air.Amidst the chaos, the woman's husband sank to his knees, a blend of fear and regret etched across his face. "Please forgive me, Boss," he pleaded in a desperate plea for mercy.His wife's voice pierced through the chaotic air, commanding, "Honey, why are kneeling? Deal with this stupid bastard!"Ignoring the commotion around him, Victor
After ensuring his family was comfortably settled at home, Victor promptly reached out to Manager Zain, delegating the responsibility of orchestrating the relocation of their properties from their former residence to Maple Villa. With that task underway, Victor then proceeded to drive directly to a nearby restaurant. Upon arrival, his attention was drawn to the familiar figure of Doctor Malik. Prior to Doctor Malik having the opportunity to reply, a woman's voice interjected into the conversation, stating, "Malik, you never mentioned that you were acquainted with him."Both Doctor Malik and Victor shifted their attention to the origin of the voice, discovering Josephine Cooper and her father who were just leaving.Dr. Malik wore a concerned expression as he asked, "Are you two acquainted?"Josephine promptly replied, "Malik, this is the mam who attended to my father's medical needs."The revelation caught Mr. Cooper off guard; he had not anticipated that the man who provided him me
Victor's ominous aura gradually faded away as he mustered a reassuring smile. "Let's address the initial concern, shall we? How can you be certain that I won't be defeated by James?"Doctor Malik, feeling a sense of relief now that the oppressive atmosphere had lifted, responded, "It's more of an intuitive feeling. Even if my family isn't in favor of supporting you, personally, I am committed to standing by your side."Victor chuckled, remarking, "I must admit, I didn't connect the dots quickly enough. The Campbells have a strong legacy in medicine, and given your background from one of the premier families, it had to be the Campbell family. Am I on the right track?"Dr. Malik nodded with a smile, responding, "Absolutely right. Our family tends to keep a lower profile compared to the other top families in MidRidge, we focus on treating.""Well, let me say this, if your Campbell family goes against me, i will not hesitate to deal with them. So with that said, are you still willing to b
