“This is a bottle of Kobo wine worth a million dollars and it's from the Lincolns. They are wishing Mr. Roland a happy birthday and many happy returns.”

“The Sloans present a painting, the Monarch of Nightfall by Alexander Regulus, worth ten million and they wish the entire family even more wealth.”

“The Khans have gifted Mr. Roland a limited edition watch from Rolex worth five million dollars.”

At the main entrance, a lady held a microphone in her hand, enthusiastically announcing the gifts that the guests had brought for everyone in attendance to hear.

In the foyer, Mr. Roland, old as he was, was dressed in a blue suit causing him to look fit and alert.

He had a big smile on his face as he heard the value of the gifts he was getting.

It went to show that those in attendance were not minor characters at all.

Surprisingly, even the Wesen family had been invited with the family head, Mr. Wesen pulling out all the stops and spending a small fortune to get a gift for Mr. Roland just to g

    Before Mr. Roland could respond to Elijah’s words, the latter moved, quickly appearing behind the Roland family head.“Good riddance,” Elijah muttered, and the next moment, blood spurted out, and Mr. Roland's head fell to the ground with a dull thud.Everyone screamed at the sight, unable to believe that Mr. Roland had been killed just like that.But perhaps the most shocked were members of the Roland family as they watched as the man who had led their family for so long died just like that.Taking out a black bag, Elijah picked up the head and left shortly after, leaving behind a silent villa and traumatized guests.[Mission completed][1000 Spirit Points rewarded][Note: Vengeance is served]In the meantime, Mr. Roland's headless corpse remained motionless in the foyer. ***The Leroy residence was in an uproar as Charles finally got a chance to inform the head of the Leroy family and Aiden's father about the incident between Aiden and Elijah.In response, the head of the Leroy fami

    At his mother's grave, Elijah leaned the black bag against the tombstone, took a flask out, and then drank a mouthful from it, then poured the rest of it in front of the grave.“Mom, you don't have to worry. Your son is doing well for himself. Can you imagine?... That weak boy who couldn't protect himself is now being called the King of the North.” As he spoke, he let out a melancholic laugh. “Also, you have a granddaughter. I'm sure you'd have liked her if you were still here. But it's fine. Don't worry, I'll make sure to bring her up in a way you'd have liked. I'm sorry I wasted so much time before I returned… I hope you can forgive me. Rest well, I promise, those that kicked us out all those years ago will pay for their sins.”After that, he got up and left.Meanwhile, in the Roland family villa, everyone had left not too long after Elijah's departure. Naturally, they were too scared to remain, worried that since even Mr. Roland wasn't safe in the Roland family villa, who were th

    Elijah smiled as he replied. “See what I said, as long as we don't look at things negatively, there's always going to be a way around obstacles.”“I know, I know, I should never have underestimated us.”“Exactly. Now then, please tell me you are prepared, meetings and I don't match at all.”Alice chuckled in amusement. “Don't worry, I've got you covered.” As it was, Alice felt lucky that Elijah was hers and she wished to prove her capability to him.She wanted to show him that even though she's been a laughing stock for years, she kept up with her studies and was an accomplished scholar.“Alright, let's go.”Alice quickly got into the car with Elijah ordering Thomas to start the car with the destination being the Gold Lake branch office.“Honey, did you know that Mr. Roland was killed last night?” Considering her grandfather had attended the birthday party, it was no surprise that Alice was aware of the incident that turned from a celebration to mourning.“Are you serious?” Elijah f

    “Thank you,” Alice muttered as she took out her phone and called up her classmate.Elijah offered no response, merely flashing a smile in her direction.Not too long after, a woman approached them only to be shocked when she laid eyes on Alice.If anyone had told her that it was Alice, she wouldn't have believed, but seeing was indeed believing.Naturally, she grew envious due to how Alice looked but managed to control herself as she approached.Excitedly, Alice didn't hesitate to embrace the other lady once she was close enough. “Oh my gosh, hi, Lisa, congratulations on becoming a departmental head at Gold Lake.”Lisa Thompson feigned a smile as she replied. “Well, I try my best. Anyways, if you want to meet with the chairman, you still need the permission of the general manager, so come with me.”“How come?” Alice asked in confusion. “Yesterday, you said that an appointment was already made with the chairman.”“Alice, you know it's not easy to get an order from Gold Lake.

    In the chairman's office on the top floor of the Gold Lake building, Gilbert had been waiting for Alice since morning.It was unfortunate that she still hadn't shown up yet.Worried that something was wrong, he left his office and headed down to reception to ask if Alice had arrived to see him but unfortunately, the receptionist claimed that no one with that name had arrived.This caused Gilbert to grow even more worried as he didn't dare to think that Alice was someone that was late so that meant that he might have missed her or something bad could have happened, both of which did not bode well for him.The last thing he wished to do was to fail the King of the North.If that happened, no one would be able to save him.Due to being anxious, he decided to take a walk while letting the receptionist know to inform him should Alice arrive. Imagine his surprise when he stepped out of the building only to pause as he laid eyes on Elijah, the same person he dreaded failing.The latter was

    “So, Mister Strong, this is my proposal and every other document that's needed. Alice quickly began once she got into the office, only for Gilbert to respond.“That won't be necessary.”“What?”“I had my secretary draw up a proposal as well.”As he spoke, Gilbert immediately handed over the documents to Alice allowing her to read through.It didn't take long before Alice let out a gasp of surprise due to the amount written in the document.Instead of the ten million she hoped to get, Gilbert was offering her a hundred instead.Wasn't this a bit too much?“Is something wrong, Miss Wesen?... If a hundred million is too small, I'm sure we can make further arrangements.”“No, that's not necessary. It's more than enough.” Alice hurriedly said, still struggling to wrap her head around the grand sum.“That's good to hear. So I believe it's time to sign?”“Yes.” Alice nodded, taking out her pen to sign on the documents only to discover that Gilbert had already signed as well.It was almost as

Do they think the world revolves around them?... Daring to investigate the King of the North!?... They are seeking death!”“Commander, what do we do about this?”“Is that even a question?...

    Mordred was startled as he watched several tall and burly men streaming in from outside.Olivia jumped up in shock too, but she soon pointed at a middle-aged man among the crowd and said excitedly to Mordred, “Look over there! It’s the man on the far right! He’s the one you sent to pick us up, and he’s the one who took Elijah’s daughter away!”But at this moment, Mordred didn’t even look at the middle-aged man Olivia identified.All his attention was on the elegant young man in his thirties in the middle of the crowd.“You’re… General Thomas!” Mordred exclaimed, recognizing one of the greatest commanders serving the King of the NorthThen he saw Elijah, causing his face to turn incredibly ugly.As soon as he saw the great enemy who had killed his son, a wave of resentment and killing intent kept gushing out from his body beyond his control.But he wasn’t a fool and knew that he couldn’t act rashly at this moment. He also knew that the current situation was extremely bad for him.Recal

  • Terrified and chagrined

    At this moment, Olivia really wanted to cry. She was both terrified and chagrined.Had she known this would happen earlier, she wouldn’t have chosen to cooperate with Mordred because it was simply courting death!But if she could turn back time, she would probably still be willing to sell Claire and work with Mordred.She was an extremely selfish woman.While Olivia was feeling anxious, the middle-aged man suddenly answered a phone call and respectfully said “Yes!” to the phone several times.This made Olivia, who was trying to eavesdrop from the side, unable to get any useful information.All of a sudden, the middle-aged man turned to look at Olivia. “Mr. Abnomar will arrive in three minutes. I’m going outside to receive him. Stay here and don’t move. Otherwise, you know what the consequences are!”With that, he stopped looking at Olivia and opened the villa door to leave.Olivia peeked out sneakily. For a moment, she also thought of sneaking away.But she immediately dismissed the t

  • Overthinking

    Olivia was so engrossed in her fantasy that she didn’t even notice that the two middle-aged men driving in front of her were looking at her with contempt.After about twenty minutes or so, the car finally stopped at the entrance of a quiet villa.The middle-aged man took out his phone and sent out a series of messages before saying coldly to Olivia, “We’re here. Get out.”Olivia opened the door and got out of the car. After looking around, she asked, “Is Mr. Abnomar waiting for me inside?”“No, Mr. Abnomar is a bit busy and hasn’t arrived yet. Just wait inside,” the middle-aged man said with a straight face.Olivia was extremely displeased.She had already sent her granddaughter to Mordred as he wished, yet he was still putting on airs in front of her and asking her to wait for him. He was going overboard!But the other party’s power was definitely greater than hers.Besides, Mordred was in control of the voice recording, so Olivia had no choice but to enter the villa and wait for him

  • How annoying

    Olivia said casually and perfunctorily, “Didn’t you see it? There were suddenly so many people in the ward, and it was really dangerous. Of course, I’m bringing you somewhere safe!”At this moment, she was holding Claire’s delicate wrist tightly and anxiously, as if she was holding her destiny.When she saw a person stepping out of a Toyota Avalon parked near the hospital entrance and walking toward her, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly pulled Claire along and made her way over.“Olivia, huh? We are the people Mr. Abnomar sent to pick you up,” the tall middle-aged man in a gray suit said indifferently.“Yes, it’s us!” Olivia immediately nodded and followed the man to the Toyota, only to find that there was no one inside.“Strange, didn’t Mr. Abnomar say he would come in person?” Olivia murmured.The middle-aged man looked at her. “Mr. Abnomar has a high status. Why would he come personally? Just leave with us. We’ll bring you to meet up with Mr. Abnomar.”Olivia thought about it and

  • Taking advantage

    The people who rushed in all seemed agitated and full of zeal, making the young doctor misunderstand that there was an emergency in the hospital.“Is Dr. Rex Holding here?”“We’re here to see Dr. Rex Holding. We heard he’s here!”“Dr. Holding, please help! My son has had cerebral palsy for many years, and no one has been able to cure him. I heard that you are highly skilled in medicine. You must save my son!”“My father suffers from paraplegia and hasn’t been able to get out of bed for years. Dr. Holding, please save him!”“And my wife, she became a vegetable because of a traffic accident. I heard that you’re treating a patient suffering from the same condition now, so please help my wife too! She’s only in her thirties, and our kids are only a few years old. They have no mother to take care of them now!”All at once, around ten people began clamoring loudly one after another before surging toward Rex, who was standing by the hospital bed.Their hands were all reaching out to grab him

  • A noisy commotion

    She was a little worried that Alice would try getting her to undergo a full body checkup again if she said that she hadn’t slept well.Now that she was pressed for time and hadn’t figured out a good solution to deal with Claire, she obviously didn’t have any time for a medical checkup.So no matter what, she had to force herself to perk up and look energized.Elijah glanced at her, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly, but he didn’t say anything.After breakfast, Rex came to Albert’s ward on time at 9:30 am to begin the daily acupuncture treatment for him.As soon as he came today, she saw Claire, who looked as pretty and cute as a doll, and his heart melted.Claire received a great shock when she saw the gaze in Rex’s eyes, and she couldn’t help hiding behind Elijah.She merely popped half her head out to look at Rex.Of course, her action immediately melted Rex’s heart even more.Elijah burst into laughter as he stroked Claire’s head and introduced her. “Claire, this is Da

  • No sleep for the wicked

    Alice was really worried.In the afternoon, Olivia had said that her memory was failing her because she was getting old.She had even comforted Olivia then. But forgetting the same thing twice within a day was not a good sign.If she was forgetful because she was exhausted, it wouldn’t be too bad. But if it was because of a disease like senile dementia… it would be terrible!Thus, Alice felt that it was better to arrange a full body checkup for Olivia right away, in case there was really something wrong with her.Since the medical expert, Rex was still around, she could help look at Olivia’s condition as well.Olivia chuckled wryly and quickly refused, “Nah, I’m fine! I’m just… too worried about your father at work, and it’s all that’s been on my mind lately, so I keep forgetting what I have to do. I’m perfectly fine. Don’t worry!”Alice persuaded her a few more times, but Olivia firmly said that there was nothing wrong with her health.Only then did Alice give up for the time being.

  • Calling at the wrong time

    Mordred actually called at such a juncture. No matter how bold Olivia was, she wouldn’t dare to answer at this moment!After ten seconds or so, Mordred called again.Olivia still chose to decline the call. At the same time, her heart was beating wildly.She cursed Mordred in her heart.When she was holding onto Claire’s hand and urging him just now, he didn’t rush over and treated her with an extremely hostile attitude. Now that the situation had changed drastically, Mordred actually called. Is he trying to get me killed?!After declining his calls twice in a row, she reckoned that he must have realized something and didn’t call again.Elijah was well aware, so he sneered and deliberately asked, “Who called? Olivia, why didn’t you pick up?”Olivia lowered her head, not daring to look at him at all. She said guiltily, “Oh, it’s nothing. It’s just harassment calls! I keep getting telemarketing calls from real estate agents and promoters. It’s really annoying!”“Oh, really? That’s really

  • Sudden arrival

    While talking to Claire, she looked around and began to get restless and uneasy.She had been waiting here for several minutes, and she was puzzled as to why Mordred hadn’t shown up yet.Perhaps because she had a guilty conscience, she was now feeling incredibly uncomfortable, as if there were eyes on her back.Since Mordred hadn’t appeared yet, she gradually began to feel uncertain, and she even had a vague, ominous hunch.Claire stood in place for a long time. Seeing that Olivia wasn’t moving, she was confused and raised her head to ask, “Grandma, why aren’t we leaving yet?”“What are you rushing me for?! Can’t you see I’m waiting for a car?” Olivia suddenly snapped angrily.Claire’s body immediately stiffened, startled by the sudden rebuke, and tears instantly appeared in her large eyes. She wanted to cry, but she didn’t dare to.Olivia wasn’t in the mood to pay attention to Claire. After waiting for nearly ten more minutes, she couldn’t help taking out her phone to call Mordred ag
