"How long will you be gone, Andrew?"Erica's whining echoed in Andrew's room this morning. He seemed indifferent to his younger sister, busy reading a guidebook on his bed."Are you deaf?! Why aren't you answering my question and busy with that book?! What are you actually reading?!"Erica threw a pillow at Andrew and intended to approach him. However, Andrew immediately held his sister's hand as she reached his arm. "Step back, or I won't allow you to stay at home yesterday!""Foolish threat! You always treat me as if I were a 5-year-old!"Andrew closed his book, put the guidebook into his bag, and walked towards the door. "Come on, let's go out. I have to leave now. I won't be gone for long, maybe a week, but you have to take care of yourself, alright? Contact me if something bad happens.""This is unfair! You always have fun without me. What's wrong with inviting me? I also want to experience traveling on a private jet, Andrew! Even since my kidnapping case, I haven't had a vacatio
Flying to one of the continents in the eastern part of the world seemed incredibly boring to Andrew. Especially since this nearly ten-hour journey had only been three hours so far.The laughter from Felix and William made him sick. Every word and threat William directed at his younger brother still lingered in his memory. Andrew's eyes, filled with burden, gazed out the airplane window."Mr. Andrew, wine?""My pleasure, Marcel."Marcel poured a glass of red wine for Andrew. He handed the drink to Andrew and asked again, "What else is bothering you, Mr. Andrew?"Andrew's brown eyes slowly shifted to look at Marcel. He shrugged and said, "Nothing is bothering me, that's just how you feel. Sit down; it seems like you're looking for a seat and using that silly excuse as a pretext.""I've been working for decades, even though I'm just a personal assistant to Mr. William, but I've seen countless eyes filled with confusion, joy, anger, and numbness. You're in the confused category, your mind
A white private jet with gold accents arrived at an airport in one of the cities in the eastern continent just as the moon was shining brightly. The cool night breeze made Andrew take a deep breath before descending the stairs.Even though it was only for a short while, William's body absorbed a considerable amount of fatigue. If there were no activities planned, Andrew would choose to sleep all day tomorrow."Andrew, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and get down," William pushed Andrew's behind from behind using his cane. Andrew turned and gestured for the middle-aged man to go down first. "Please go ahead, my body is still in pain. I can't be rushed, Mr. William.""After this, you should rest immediately. Luckily, I brought energy drinks. Tomorrow, we'll leave early in the morning. There's no reason to be tired. Understand?" William slapped Andrew's face and walked alongside Marcel.Behind them, Felix was seen with three other bodyguards of William. Felix's gaze was still directed
Felix was thrown to the floor by Andrew once again. The young man stepped back with a tense expression on his face."What do you mean?! I'm not in the mood for jokes, Felix. If you dare to disturb me just for your amusement, I won't hesitate to end your life right now. Don't think I'm afraid or incapable of doing it."Felix got up from his position, walked towards Andrew, and suddenly fell to his knees, clasping Andrew's feet. "I beg you, help me. He has destroyed my life! I can't bear the torment of guilt any longer. Please, Andrew!"Andrew flicked his index finger, and Felix's body was suddenly thrown towards the door. The middle-aged man spewed blood from his mouth due to the impact."You want more pain than this, Felix? I can do that. Tell me, what kind of torture do you dream of? Let's settle it now. I'm sick of being your plaything, you damn bastards who crave power and selfishness! And unfortunately, you're one of those I will eliminate because Mr. William saved me and has done
The army-colored off-road vehicle carrying Andrew and Felix attracted attention as it entered the gold mine area. Five sturdy men with long rifles hanging from their chests immediately stood alert in front of the gate."I'll get out," Felix said.He adjusted his collar and stepped out of the vehicle. Doubt and fear crept into his heart. Although he had often participated in massacres with William's group before, Felix couldn't be considered as brave as William when facing opponents. Felix's courage was only for stepping on those he considered beneath him, like Andrew when he first saw him."Who are you, and what do you want?" one bearded man pointed his long rifle at Felix's chest."I'm Felix, the owner of this mine. I want to meet your boss, John."Simultaneously, all the guards in front of Felix burst into laughter. "What did you say? The owner of this mine? You must be dreaming. I'm sure Mr. John will finish you off.""It's up to you. Allow us to enter. Even if you consider John as
Two guards inside John's office immediately stood alert behind Felix and Andrew. Their fierce faces clearly showed that they were ready to crush both of them at any moment if Felix and Andrew made a single mistake."Give me the company file and explain what you want to explain, little man."John, sitting on the desk, lightly kicked Andrew's knee. Felix looked panicked, he glanced briefly at Andrew, once again doubting Andrew's strength to defeat John and his companions.Andrew nodded and took the handbag from Felix. He placed the black bag next to the table near John. Andrew seemed to be searching for something inside the bag, then looked at John and said, "Ah, it seems like a document fell in the car. Can I go and get it?""So many excuses from you. Go ahead." John pointed to one of the guards near the door and said, "You! Accompany him!"Andrew turned around and immediately walked with one of the guards. Meanwhile, Felix became even more frightened, showing how his body trembled int
The car carrying Andrew and William passed by a pile of corpses of the guards who had been shot by Marcel and two other bodyguards. They stood at the gate, replacing the guards who had become lifeless bodies.Seeing Marcel with a gun in his hand somehow reminded Andrew of Roger. Instantly, Andrew realized that until this day he hadn't met or had a chance to speak to Roger. The painful question regarding Roger's betrayal of Orlando's father remained unanswered."Okay, clearly I am not your father. Since when did I have a child? I'm not even married. There's a reason why Felix said that. In the past, I did help a poor widow who had a young son, but after a few months, she ran away and disappeared without a trace. I don't know why she ran away; I treated her well. You can ask my staff at home about that. I can say that I started to care for her son, and when they were around, Felix would often visit our house.When they left, there was a slight change in me, and since then, Felix believe
William and John's footsteps synchronized as they entered a luxurious room in one of the offices in the small town they were visiting. A wide smile appeared on William's face as the door opened and a stout middle-aged man with graying hair looked at them in surprise."John, and who is this you've brought?" the man asked.The room, guarded by five bodyguards, immediately went on high alert. Each of the guards positioned their hands near their weapons. William looked at the guards with a satisfied gaze. In his eyes, this was promising."Um...""Let me introduce myself." William interrupted John, who was about to speak. "I'm William, the leader of the strongest group, a respected businessman, and the most feared person on the continent. I'm here as the new owner of the gold mining company that you recently took from my late friend, Felix."Instantly, the expression on the man's face changed drastically. He pushed his desk and said, "Don't play games with me! What do you mean?""My words
