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
"Great job, Andrew. Your payment this month will be much larger."William patted Andrew on the shoulder with pride, his smile widening as he left the deputy governor's office. How could he not be satisfied? His desire to enter and take control of this city had become a reality.Andrew's success in saving the deputy governor's mistress was immediately taken into account by the deputy governor himself, and the documents certifying William as a member of the deputy governor's team had already been issued.From morning until night, waiting in the office and discussing plans in a meticulous manner was not a waste of time. Even John immediately became subservient and respectful towards Andrew. Initially, he had wanted to defeat both Andrew and William."Mr. William, if possible, after this, I request that you not involve me in any more killings. I will focus on healing you or going on business trips to Orlando's father's company. I don't want to dirty my hands by taking lives anymore, Mr. W
As planned, Andrew and Marcel returned home first. They arrived at William's residence when the sun was high in the blue sky."So, Mr. Andrew, are you going to leave for your vacation today? Or will you start your journey tomorrow?"Andrew raised an eyebrow. "I haven't even decided where I'm going yet. All I have in mind right now is sleep. My body is tired. You know, Mr. William asked me to give him some strength so he can last for three days there without worrying about dropping.""Alright, but my suggestion is to use your time to explore a bit. Getting out of this house, the outside world is much more beautiful, isn't it?""Okay, you seem to be forcing me. What's up, Marcel? Are you getting tired of seeing me? Or are you annoyed because you were asked to come back and accompany me?""Of course not, Mr. Andrew. You misunderstand. I want to ask you to explore a bit because I want to come along too. Mr. William assigned me to take care of you, so wherever you go, I'll definitely be th
"What's this?"Erica was seen holding the guidebook that Andrew had shown her."I found it in this house. When I arrived, the book was already in this room. What do you think?""A guidebook? Are you saying that all of this is because of Mr. William? Is that it? I don't understand, Andrew. Don't make me guess and play these riddles. Just tell me clearly, don't be vague like this.""Okay, as I mentioned earlier, I came to this house because William wanted me to heal him. When I arrived in this room, the guidebook was already there." Andrew pointed to the small table in the room. "I asked William about it, but he didn't admit to having the book. When I opened it, it contained information about the necklace I'm wearing. When you mentioned earlier that Mom once talked about another necklace, it reminded me of all these events. Yes, I feel like all of this was intentional."Erica opened the guidebook, her eyes following every word written in it. Occasionally, she seemed astonished and took
Three men in black and white uniforms were seen running towards William's car, which was carrying Andrew, Marcel, and Erica.Everyone seemed to bow down to Marcel, William's personal assistant, who had made a name for himself. It could be said that people were just as intimidated as they were when facing William."Come on, Mr. Andrew, Miss Erica. Enjoy this beautiful resort. It's rare to have guests pampered here. You two are the most special people who have been given these facilities by Mr. William.""I'm very glad to hear that, Marcel! I won't forget all of William's kindness. It would be so sad if I remembered how this journey happened in my old age."Erica's words stopped Marcel in his tracks. "I'm touched by your words, Miss Erica. I won't forget you either. You're the sweetest girl I've ever known. You're very kind.""Okay, enough small talk. We should explore the resort now. I want to know what's here." Andrew shifted his gaze to Erica. "Go ahead to the room. I want to talk to
"Okay, Miranda, I don't want people here to think something bad is happening to us. Come here."The three men arrived in front of Andrew. One of them, the most prominent one, a handsome man wearing a floral patterned shirt and cream-colored shorts."No! Stop bothering me! I don't want to be with you again!"The disheveled-haired man tried to grab the woman named Miranda's hand, but Andrew immediately intercepted him."Don't touch her." Andrew stretched out his arms to protect Miranda. "Miranda, go, find a safe place."Miranda followed Andrew's words, but the two men behind the man also moved quickly to chase her."Where are you going?"However, Andrew swiftly halted the two men, using his foot to make them fall."You bastard!" Miranda's ex-boyfriend shouted at Andrew, but then he moved to chase Miranda.Andrew clearly made a mistake; he was caught off guard. The two men he had taken down managed to get up and restrain Andrew, who was momentarily defenseless."How dare you disturb us!
The punch was about to land on Andrew's face when Marcel suddenly entered and stopped them."Stop!"Marcel's steps halted, and his expression completely changed as his gaze fell upon Miranda's ex-boyfriend, who was staring back at him."Marcel, is that you?" Miranda's ex-boyfriend was equally surprised to see Marcel.Of course, this raised a big question in Andrew's mind. 'How do these two know each other?'"What has happened, Mr. Adam? Why did you want to punch Mr. Andrew?""What? Mr. Andrew? You know this man?" Adam pointed towards Andrew, then squinted his eyes and spat suddenly at Andrew's face.Instantly, this fueled Andrew's anger to its peak. He had refrained from retaliating earlier, trying to neutralize the pain caused by Adam's attack."You bastard!" Andrew shouted loudly and quickly delivered a punch to Adam's head.The punch sounded loud, and Adam's head felt empty, the sound echoing as Andrew's hand hit it.Adam fell heavily, unconscious, just like what had happened to hi
