Victor just sneered and walked into the hotel amidst their begging. As he passed by, he could seeing the arrogant receptionist who framed him being dragged out.
Manager Zain looked at the two guards and receptionists on the ground begging outside, "You all are lucky my young master doesn't want to punish you more. If it were left to me, you would all be dead. Now get out of our premises."
She signalled the new guards that had replaced the old ones to drag them away from the vicinity. Then she quickly walked into the hotel to meet Victor.
A new receptionist had already replaced the old one. Manager Zain's secretary was capable so the secretary knew to replace those people immediately and luckily, WESTRIDGE HOTEL as the hotel was known as under Manager Zain's leadership always had backup workers incase one was sick or fired or any other reasons.
Manager Zain was nervous at that moment. This was the first time she was meeting her young master and the owner of the hotel and yet her subordinates offended him.
Victor knew she was nervous but he also knew it was not her fault. After all, no matter how powerful a person was, the person could never have the time to monitor all his or her workers.
"I don't blame you. Please can you prepare a room for me and a little meal. I want to have my shower, eat something and head out. Time is already far spent due to this drama so i won't be able to relax." Victor said as he looked at himself.
Manager Zain replied as her nervousness died down, "Thank you, young master. Please follow me, I will lead you to a room right now."
Manager Zain led Victor to one of the most luxurious rooms at the top of the hotel, then personally delivered the food to him.
As she closed the door and left, Victor sighed. His life had changed now. He was no longer longer poor young man who could not take care of his family. He was no longer the poor man who would be willingly to be humiliated for money. Rather, he was now the heir to the powerful Parker family. Every of his actions represented the Parker family.
Victor took his shower, changed into the clothes he bought, he ate the meal that was delivered to him then he headed out.
Outside the hotel, he took out his phone and dialed a number, then he spoke, "Where can we meet?"
As the person answered, he replied, "Got it."
While waiting for a taxi, Manager Zain came outside and bowed before asking him, "Young master, where are you headed so I can drop you off."
Victor was about to reject but on a second thought he agreed and told her the designated location.
Within thirty minutes, they arrived at the airport. There was a little bar close to it. He quickly walked to the bar with Manager Zain trailing behind him.
In the bar, he squinted his eyes as he tried to find the person who fit his description of Butler Kain.
Butler Kain knew him but he didn't know Butler Kain so right now, he was looking for somebody dressed with overly luxurious items from head to toe, after all, in the bar there were several luxuriously dressed people.
Another thing that made it harder was that they were several private booths in the bar.
His phone rang. Placing the phone in his ear, he was able to know where Butler Kain was and headed there.
Manager Zain knew who Butler Kain was. He was the one who hired her to manage the hotel. Seeing him, she was afraid at this moment, after all, she had indirectly offended Victor who happened to be her boss and even Butler Kain's boss.
Victor could see the fear on her face, even he himself was a little nervous, "Please go get something to drink and wait for me, I have something to discuss."
Then he walked directly towards Butler Kain and sat down. He seemed tensed.
"You don't need to be so nervous in front of me. You are the heir of the Parker family. People like us should be the ones to cower or feel nervous in front of you." Butler Kain commented.
Butler Kain was in a private booth in the bar so neither him nor Alexander was afraid somebody would hear them.
Victor replied trying his best to be courageous, "When you called me, i was expecting someone different. More like an old man who will be extremely dressed in riches."
Butler Kain laughed, "Your thought is not unfounded. After all, most top families usually have old men in their sixties or more as their butlers. At least, I'm in my early fifties, I'm still young."
They both laughed. This little joke made the atmosphere more comfortable for Victor.
Then Butler Kain continued, "Besides, why would I dress to kill? I'm not trying to impress anyone and I'm wealthy so i don't see a reason to show off."
"That's true," Victor nodded. Still speaking as he slowly began to shed off his nervousness, "I originally thought i was an orphan. So how am I the heir of the Parker family?"
Butler Kain sighed before he began, "The Parker family have a tradition of making the children of every generation to go through a suffering and poverty training. The aim of this is to teach them to appreciate money. Wealth isn't easy to gain so when you face the sufferings of having no money, it shouldn't make you wise and smarter when you finally have money."
"So when you were two, you were sent into the world. Of course you were just dropped on the street and from there you were taken into an orphanage. Your every move has been watched since then. You are only called back to the family when you get to age 24. And you finally became 24 years old a few days back."
Victor was shocked, then he asked, "Does this apply to female children as well?"
"Female children have their own kind of training. It's not intense as male children. It's more about making their business skills stronger and developing a few important skills for them." The Butler replied.
Victor let out a sigh of relief hearing his reply.
Of course, Butler Kain knew Victor asked because of his daughter, Amanda.
"So are my parents alive?" Victor asked.Butler Kain replied sadly, "Your mother is gone but your father is still alive."Victor felt pained, "When did she pass away?""A few years ago. Your mother was a good woman. She was talented in several aspects, from business to games and even martial arts. Your father is talented but not as good as she was. "In fact in the history of the Parker family, your mother was the first female to go through the poverty and suffering training and she did so in this city as well which was the exact reason this city was chosen for you."Before she passed away, she had been visiting constantly, although you never knew." Butler Kain answered.Victor was surprised and he was surprised for two reasons. First, he thought his father was the one born in the Parker family not the other way round and secondly, he was surprised because Butler Kain said his mother had been visiting him constantly before she died.Although he really wanted to know more about her, h
While she was thinking, a young man walked arrogantly towards them, he kept playing with his car keys as if he wanted everybody to know he was rich.The young man was Silas, he was Gina's friend's son-in-law.Gina's friend seeing him immediately ran to hold and drag him over. "Gina, this is my son-in-law, Silas. Can you see him, he's so handsome and rich. He's here to help me get back my money."Gina, Victor's mother-in-law was a little jealous but she hid it very well and spoke, "Ah, Silas, such a charming young man. Splash, don't forget to tell your son-in-law to help me get my money too.""Of course, my son-in-law is capable, so he will definitely help you unlike some people's son-in-law." Mrs. Splash, Gina's friend answered.Gina was embarrassed. She knew Mrs. Splash was referring to her. This made her hate Victor more.Victor didn't seem to care and chose to let Silas act. If he can get it, then no trouble.Silas spoke to Mrs. Splash, "I've found out the person that is in charge
Boss Kent and his men froze hearing Victor's words. As for Victor, his mind kept getting flooded with information regarding Boss Kent's case. At first, the purpose was to buy time and settle his mother-in-law's issue but the prospect was starting to excite him as he knew more. He wondered, "Am i getting better at this abandoned skill?"Though he didn't know why he was able to detect Boss Kent's sickness and know how to cure it perfectly since he only had beginners knowledge in acupuncture but it didn't matter as long as he could do it."Are you joking," Boss Kent asked angrily.Victor said with a frown, "No, I'm not joking. You have to get naked. By the way, are you ashamed, I'm a man, you don't need to be ashamed."Boss Kent was pissed but he needed to follow Victor's words since Victor promised he could cure him."Before that, please tell one of your men to get me a pack of acupuncture needles." Victor said.Boss Kent replied, "Acupuncture needles!! I think there's one in my car.
"Of course," Victor replied with a nod as he extended his hand to accept the card from Boss Kent. After the exchange was complete, Victor began his journey back home. While it had been a relatively uneventful day, using his acupuncture skills to aid Boss Kent had sapped a considerable amount of his energy. All he craved at this moment was some well deserved rest. However, he was well aware of the pressing need to relieve his wife, who was currently at the hospital caring for their daughter, Amanda. Yet, as he approached the hospital, an entirely unexpected drama awaited him. As he entered, Gina, his mother in law, bombarded him with a barrage of questions. "What is your relationship with Boss Kent? Why are you associating with those shady individuals and bad people? Do you want to put our family in danger?" Gina continued her interrogation, and even Diana, his wife, turned her gaze toward him, silently demanding answers. Victor, exhausted and impatient, offered a terse response
The Titus group, a business entity owned and operated by the Titus family, held significant sway within its industry. As the designated heir of the Titus family, Solomon wielded considerable influence within the organization. This influence extended to other businesses, such as the small electronics company where Diana was employed. Due to the potential repercussions of offending the Titus family, the company was extremely cautious not to cross them. If Solomon issued any directives to them, they would unquestionably comply and also use such opportunity to curry favour.At Victor's current stage, the Titus family did not pose an immediate threat to him. However, if he considered engaging with them in any way, he had to prioritize the safety of his own family. It's a common strategy that when one's adversaries cannot directly challenge them, they might target the individual's vulnerabilities. In Victor's case, his family was his most significant vulnerability, and safeguarding the
When Victor emerged from the hospital, he found Martin Davis standing by a luxurious Rolls Royce, ready to whisk him away. Victor climbed into the sleek vehicle, and they set off towards a hotel where he could quickly transform his appearance. In no time, he donned a striking white suit, adorned a resplendent golden mask, and equipped himself with a voice changer, all part of his elaborate disguise.Although Martin had a chauffeur at his disposal, he personally took the wheel, steering Victor towards their destination: Evo Electronics.Upon arrival, Jordan Stone, the owner and boss of Evo Electronics, awaited their arrival just outside the entrance, extending a cordial greeting. "Hello, Mr. Davis," he nodded in acknowledgement.Jordan took the lead, guiding them toward his office with a sense of urgency in his steps. As they made their way, Victor couldn't help but overhear hushed conversations among Evo Electronics's workers."Have you heard the latest gossip? The boss asked Diana
Every echelon of top management at Evo Electronics received news about a significant shift in the leadership hierarchy. The top management encompassed the heads of various departments within the company. A fresh face had assumed the role of president and was eager to hold a meeting with this high powered assembly.Without any delay, every member of this elite group took great care in their appearance, driven by their desire to secure the new president's trust. However, what took everyone by surprise was the unexpected presence of Diana. She had not held any official management position within the organization, which left everyone wondering why she had been invited to this pivotal gathering. This unexpected inclusion fueled the circulating rumor that the company's boss, Jordan Stone, had a special interest in Diana.At this critical juncture, the individuals present were resolute in maintaining a shroud of silence about Diana, prioritizing the imperative task of establishing an impe
Following her work shift, Diana had intended to make a beeline for the hospital to check on her daughter before returning home. However, her colleagues started urging her to join their impromptu celebratory gathering. Initially, she contemplated declining the invitation but ultimately decided to participate in order to foster stronger connections with her co-workers. She was acutely aware that her recent promotion had caused some discontent among certain individuals, and by not attending the gathering, she worried that it might come across as if she were being aloof or proud. Thus, Diana seized this occasion to build rapport and mend any strained relationships within her workplace.Moving to the side, Diana paused for a moment, her fingers hovering over her phone's keypad before she dialed Victor's number. The anticipation built as she awaited his response."Hello!" Victor's warm voice resonated on the other end of the line.With a smile in her voice, Diana inquired, "Hello, how a
At that moment, it was as if his roar was that of a lion as a gust of wind spread everywhere sending John 1 retreating.Victor closed his eyes as a transformation began to take place in his body as a translucent light covered his body whole.This meant one thing, he was breaking through. Naturally, people's breakthrough were normal and there were no many special things to accompany their breakthrough but it was different for Victor. Victor was a special person and as such some of his cultivation breakthroughs were very special and happened with some special events or elements.John 1 was quick to realise this and immediately rushed to attack Victor but the same way he moved forward, he was blown back almost immediately, there was nothing he could do to stop Victor's breakthrough.John 1 looked at Michael and his two brothers, in the next moment, he appeared there with the quickest speed. He wanted them to end Michael at least before Victor broke through totally.His arrival there was
Victor directed his gaze towards Michael and expressed, "I may not possess extensive knowledge about the roar of a lion, but based on what i have seen you do, I'm willing to give it a shot and see what I can do." Observing Victor's willingness, Michael nodded in agreement.In the ensuing moment, Victor let out a resounding roar, its intensity heightened by the surge of his spiritual energy. While not matching the sheer potency of Michael's lion like roar, Victor's ordinary roar possessed enough force to unsettle those who had encircled them.As the men staggered to the ground, momentarily disoriented, Victor and Michael seized the opportunity to advance swiftly, unleashing a barrage of powerful and precise strikes in their coordinated assault.Michael's thunderous lion roar possessed the formidable capability to render the less resilient individuals unconscious or induce bleeding from their ears and various facial regions. In contrast, Victor's roar, though less overwhelming, had a
In concurrence, Victor made the decision to return to their lodging, and this time, Linda accompanied him, her tenacious nature compelling her to follow. Victor acknowledged that their current hotel, where they had been residing, would inevitably be discovered, but despite this awareness, he opted to revisit the place.While Victor possessed the ability to conceal himself effortlessly—dispatching Michael to the Wilston family and directing Linda to her home, and subsequently altering his appearance with the chameleon mask—he found this approach too straightforward. His desire extended beyond mere evasion; he aimed to assert dominance and subjugate the prominent families of Palue under his control.Upon arriving at the hotel, Victor promptly retired to his room, while Michael and Linda also opted for accommodation. Battling fatigue, Victor succumbed to the need for rest, dozing off for about thirty minutes. However, his tranquility was abruptly disrupted by a knock on his door.Risi
After the video concluded, the security guard interrogating Victor asked, "Given the undeniable evidence, what is your response now?"Victor chuckled, as if finding amusement in a jest, and retorted, "Evidence? Are you referring to the fabricated lies and concoted falsehoods?"Rising from his seat with an apparent intent to depart, Victor's movement triggered a swift response from the surrounding security guards, who promptly brandished their firearms and aimed them at him. The questioning guard pressed on, "Why did you take the life of the mayor's son?" He persisted, adding, "The mayor is en route, and answers are imperative."Of course, Victor was not afraid of the mayor but he didn't want to wait here to see the mayor, he wanted to leave and see how deep Wayne Lois's game could be. Besides, people would never believe the evidence was fake and him escaping was another proof to them but being the person who had a feud with the Lois family, he understood so much.In the next moment,
Victor and Malik swiftly refreshed themselves before making their way to an upscale boutique to acquire some luxurious clothing.Exiting the boutique, as they prepared to hail a taxi, a black car abruptly pulled up in front of them, halting with a screech. Emerging from the vehicle was none other than Linda, the daughter of Samuel.Victor clearly surprised to see her here immediately, "What are you doing here?"Linda's smile widened in response, and she shared, "I had a hunch that you were planning to make an unexpected entrance at the Lois family's gathering. Naturally, I wanted to be a part of the festivities."Victor, feigning innocence, narrowed his eyes and played dumb, saying, "I have no idea what you're referring to. Michael and I are just here for some casual shopping."Linda deftly seized the invitation from Victor's pocket, a swift movement that caught him off guard, revealing his lack of anticipation. Her hands moved with a purpose, extracting the card with nimble precisio
Victor drew in a profound breath, affirming his consent with a nod. The swift pace of preparations for the ceremony caught Malik and Michael off guard, yet not entirely unexpected. The duo found themselves taken aback by this sudden turn of events, but deep down, they acknowledged that Victor's exceptional nature and innate ability to command attention and dominate were ever present, ensuring his influence wherever he ventured.The ceremony unfolded with simplicity, progressing seamlessly. Following its conclusion, Victor convened a meeting with Jonathan and the respected elders.In addressing the assembly, Victor articulated, "Primarily, I wish to clarify my reluctance to assume the role of the Wilston family head. Although I may hold the position nominally, I am committed to entrusting Jonathan with the overarching responsibilities.""He will retain authority over day to day matters, exercising decision making autonomy, except in cases of utmost significance."Jonathan found himsel
A hush fell over the meeting hall as all eyes focused on Jonathan. The anticipation lingered before he addressed the assembly, pondering aloud, "Do you think he should try if he could inherit it?"The one eyed elder took a thoughtful pause before voicing his reservations, "He doesn't share our lineage. It contradicts our longstanding traditions."In response, Jonathan interjected, offering a counterpoint, "The previous leader wasn't a Wilston by birth, yet her influence is the cornerstone of our current knowledge. Without her, the Wilston family was just a struggling traditional medical family."The one eyed elder lapsed into thoughtful silence before breaking it after a minute, asking, "To what extent are you acquainted with his influence?"Jonathan furrowed his brow, reflecting on the matter. "It's hard to gauge precisely, but during the auction, his two companions were very young and both were at the peak of the Noble realm, displayed a clear hierarchy with him.""Their actions ind
"Indeed, he's not dumb," remarked Jonathan. He paused briefly before delving further into the matter, explaining,"Yet, his inability to speak seems to be rooted in psychological challenges. It's likely that some stimuli connected to his past experiences might serve as a catalyst for him to verbalize. The specifics remain uncertain, though."Victor acknowledged the information with a nod, expressing his gratitude, "Alright, thank you for shedding light on this."Jonathan expressed regret, stating, "I apologize for not being able to assist you with any of your requests."In response, Victor responded with a reassuring smile and said, "No worries, it's perfectly fine."Jonathan expressed his commitment, "I will ngage in a conversation with the elders, attempting to persuade them to allow your friend to learn pill making and traditional medicine.""Thank you. By the way, you mentioned your former leader is still alive. How did you come by this information since you haven't seen her in a
"I am Garvin, serving as the head of the security guards and chief guardian for the esteemed Wilston family," declared the commanding figure who led the men that surrounded Victor, Michael, and Malik. He strode ahead, the trio trailing behind, until he halted abruptly. Raising his hand, Garvin gestured and executed a series of signals. In an instant, the panoramic view for Victor, Malik, and Michael underwent a dramatic transformation.Gone were the towering mountains and dense bushes that previously filled their view. In their place stood an expansive compound adorned with distinct villas, each exuding an ancient ambiance that added a unique character to the surroundings. It was as if they were transported to a different era.Infacr, the Wilston family functioned as a self contained community, and as Garvin, the head of the Wilston family's guards, guided Victor, Michael, and Malik through the vast Wilston family compound, he took the chance to show and acquaint them with various ar
