Marco glanced at Liona with a worried look. He could see that the elderly teacher was trembling, and her hands repeatedly squeezed the hem of her shirt. There was something terrible going on here. And Richard might have done something so wrong that Liona became like that.Even when talking to him, Liona lowered her head and did not dare to look at Richard, who was still staring at the two of them. "You just calm down. I can take the appropriate measures to deal with her," Marco said, trying to calm Liona down. However, Marco knew that the woman must be even more scared because she couldn't do much with her current body. So, the only way here was to calm her down and make her believe and think positively.But apparently, Richard's impact still made the woman scared and unsure of Marco. She leaned closer to Marco and whispered, "He has his minions."Marco heard this and nodded. He smiled slightly, then looked at Liona, who looked down in fear. "Take it easy, everything will be fine. "Tr
Flat-faced and emotionless, Marco jerked his head towards the thugs. "Attack them," he ordered while stepping back to secure Liona from the impending chaos.When the order was given, the servants dressed in all black immediately attacked the thugs, who were more than three in number. The commotion was inevitable with the horrible sound of punches and kicks.Moreover, when Richard also called out the same thing to the thugs. "Don't want to lose, just finish them all!" Not only punches but even the sound of chairs being used to smash the opponents could be heard loudly.One of Marco's waiters pushed one of his opponents against the glass and smashed his face against it. In just two blows, the man was already bleeding from his nose and fell unconscious to the floor. He was not the only one. The other three were also easily taken down with just a few strikes. The chair that was previously used by one of Richard's thugs was lying in a broken position on its right side, with blood stains co
"Master, we've sent some help as you requested," Will said as he handed a document to Marco. It was a document containing the things Marco had asked Will to sign and deliver to the school he had helped yesterday. Among them were one million dollars and the addition of new books to the library. Not only that, Marco also asked for a medical room to be built at the school to help students or teachers who might need help. As Marco remembered, the health room at the school was very inadequate and lacked medicine. Back then, when Marco's hand was bleeding from a shard pushed by his friend, Liona had only bandaged it with a cloth and a little antiseptic.Marco nodded, turning the pages of the document in his hand. "And keep an eye on Ms. Liona. It looks like she's going through something difficult." Marco saw pictures of building the health room and renovating the classrooms gradually. Books had been delivered and organized in the library. Marco even sent new school uniforms to all the stude
The sun had not yet risen fully this morning when Marco stepped out of his housing complex. The man began to do a slight warm-up, such as stretching his leg muscles and hands, before starting the morning running activity. After feeling warm enough, Marco immediately started his morning run at a moderate pace. The man walked through the streets of the housing complex filled with several other residents who were exercising. However, some of them were, in fact, just taking a walk with their pets.Initially, Marco only intended to go around the housing complex before he suddenly turned out and headed for a park that was right on the outside of the complex. The park, with lots of fresh greenery and wet grass around the path, was not visited by many people because it was a weekday.Marco then looked at his watch and saw that he still had about two hours to go. "I think I can pick up the pace a bit," he muttered and then picked up the pace. The man circled the park and took five laps at a re
Marco took another look at his clothes in the mirror. He made sure that his gray suit looked neat with the matching color of his pants. Marco has also checked his shoes, which are always shiny. Marco's hair has been neatly combed in one direction. And finally, Marco wore his favorite dark gray tie with black patterns. After ensuring he looked perfect, Marco turned around and found Will waiting for him. The hoverer now bowed politely to him. "I have everything ready, Master. We can leave now."Marco then nodded and walked out of his room. Will had opened the door, and the two walked out of the house. Will, who walked behind Marco, seemed to be watching his master. "Master, would you like to bring Miss Wilson along?" If that were the case, perhaps Will would have sent someone to pick the woman up.But Marco shook his head. The man walked straight and looked at the clock in his hand. "No need. This is completely unrelated to that business." Will nodded behind Marco's back. He understood
Stefani held Melanie's hand when she first saw her after returning from the bathroom. She looked a little upset, with a frown on her face. And it certainly made Melanie wonder what was wrong. Usually, Stefani seemed so calm and relaxed. She had even told him that she couldn't wait to come here to do business and travel.The beautiful woman looked up at her mother and immediately sat opposite her. "I saw Marco just come in here," she said, now staring at the man in the room. Arnold didn't turn around because they were so far apart. She was sure he couldn't hear her half-whispered voice. She saw Arnold still busy reading a file at a table with a cup of coffee by his side.At the sound of Marco's name, Melani immediately turned her face into a look of hatred. "What is that ignorant man doing here?" She remembered very well that it was Marc who had put Stefani in prison. Although not for long, it still made her have to be separated from the child in Stefani's pregnant state.Although Stef
"How dare you say that I am an election?" asked Marco with an unreadable flat face. The man leaned his back against the chair, then played his hands on his thighs casually. He was staring intently at Stefani, now staring at him fiercely."You're the fraud here," Marco added later. Upon hearing her ex-husband's response, Stefani, of course, immediately clenched her fists. He was so annoyed that he wanted to come forward and scratch the man's face.Not to be outdone, Stefani immediately revealed the secret she had known all along. "Yes, you are an imposter! I've known you all along to be a useless piece of trash!" pointed out Stefani, her eyes narrowing sharply. Back then, Stefani couldn't even buy cosmetics with the money Marco gave her because he was so poor in his career that he ended up as the family plumber instead of the proud son-in-law.Marco remained where he was, watching Stefani, who was eager to get him out of there. "And don't forget who put you in prison." Her tone was fla
Upon hearing the secretary's greeting and the way she bowed to Marco, everyone was shocked and confused at the same time. Their eyes widened with open mouths, wondering why something like this could happen. Even one of the men staring at Marco lazily rubbed his eyes and blew his ears repeatedly. Worried that what he was seeing was wrong.It was still unbelievable that this sudden arrival was a leader. They repeatedly turned around and asked nearby colleagues, as this seemed unreal. How could a man they had never seen before be someone with a high position?At this moment, they all remembered that they had insulted Marco and called him an imposter. They had also kicked the man out of the meeting room and laughed at everything Marco said. Instantly, they all turned to Stefani, the woman who had started all the trouble here.With her hands clasped angrily, Cristin hissed. The woman's face looked very angry. "Damn it, he's a fraud, and this will make us all embarrassed."Not only Cristin
The long journey that took sixty minutes ended with Robert returning to the starting point of Marco's house. The man had been blindfolded and could see the sunlight illuminating the courtyard. Robert let out a long sigh. He stood by the door, where Marco sat on the sofa quietly, before walking in and sitting in front of Marco like last night when they first met."Thank you very much," Robert said sincerely. The man took a deep breath and looked calmly at Marco. "Thank you so much for helping Anna. And you take it easy, whatever you want, tell me. I will give it to you as a gift," Robert added solemnly. To him, nothing was more important than health for Anna. Even if she had to die, it wasn't a big deal to him.Marco nodded, along with the waiter who brought tea for him and Robert. "Of course, I'm not one to help without asking for something in return."Robert just chuckled before clearing his throat. The man put his hands into the pockets of the suit he was wearing. "Oh yes, I have
Not only Robert but Marco is now also standing in front of a room that has a glass barrier. Where, it appears that Anna is conducting a series of examinations with inlets. Starting from the scan and also how her physical condition is now. With the help of a doctor and two nurses, plus a scientist on guard there, Anna was checked as a whole to make sure nothing was missed at all.As Marco, the man turned to Robert. Robert seemed to clench his hands and keep them under his mouth. Her eyes looked so worried. Marco was sure that she was not feeling well.So, Marco chose to calm her down. "Calm down. Your sister is being examined. You can look at him and stay positive. Anna will be fine."Upon hearing that, the tense Robert turned his head and smiled slightly stiffly. The man let out a long breath and closed his eyes. His head looked up slightly, trying to dispel the thousand and one unpleasant thoughts and prejudices he had. Anna had started all kinds of examinations before, and they alw
And just as Marco had asked, the next morning, an hour after sunrise, Robert appeared at Marco's residence. The man came with the personal driver serving the Veliiy family. And when Marco saw him, Robert had a small smile."Please, Mr. Robert," Will said as he opened the door. Robert nodded and entered the living room, where he was already there, and looked at him directly. For a moment, the two men looked at each other.Until Marco got up and walked over to the older man. "You've come, and where's your sister?" he asked reassuringly. Marco had not yet seen the woman Robert had told him about.He had only seen Robert coming with the driver before entering here.Robert nodded and then looked back. He waved his hand, signaling the waiter to come towards him. And when the waiter saw her, he nodded and walked around to the other side.Now Robert walked back outside and approached his servant. And from there, Marco saw someone he had never seen before. Robert approached while pushing the w
And now, things were quieter than before. The firearm Marco had brought with him had been placed on the table and posed no threat to Robert. Although the man still occasionally glances at her, remembering the sensation that Marco had caused him a few minutes ago.Both men are seated on their respective sofas as they were at the beginning of the meeting. The two of them were facing each other, and Marco started flipping through the file that Robert had brought as proof of their past cooperation.Marco gave a small nod. "Apparently, my predecessor did get a lot of favours from your family."Marco saw that one of them was helping with the investment at the beginning of building his family's big name. In fact, one of the most memorable was the dispatch of troops when his family was attacked by outsiders who did not like the success of the family head."Because of your intelligence as well as your stubbornness, I will accept your offer." Marco's eyes now turned to look at Robert and saw a
Robert looked at Marco with cold eyes. He paused for a moment and let out a long breath. "I'm not joking or imagining. I know the truth. And because I have such curiosity and confidence, I believe that the Galahad family can help my brother."Robert then clenched his hands into fists, remembering his efforts to help his brother recover. "I've seen so many of the best doctors this city offers. I even went abroad to get the best results."The man took a deep breath and shook his head, his hands raised openly. Her shoulders lifted in despair. "Still nothing works.""I might be able to form my medical team. But the research and gathering took so long. It can't be just one or two months. Even in ten years, I may not be able to get it," Robert said at length.His eyes seemed to glaze over slightly, a shadow of someone present in the man's head. "While my brother's lifespan can probably be counted, he doesn't have that long to wait for me. And now he needs something fast, something that can
The living room was quiet, with Marco and Robert sitting across from each other at a glass table. Marco crossed his legs and looked straight at the man who was seven years older than him.As for Robert, the man looked at Marco sharply before taking a slow breath. "I came here because I heard that the head of the Galahad family has changed."The man looked Marco straight in the eye without blinking. He looked confident and calm at the same time. "And as part of the Velliy family, I would say that the Galahad family is indebted to him. That's why I want you to give me a favor."Robert didn't want to waste time with small talk. He had something to pursue and made sure that everything went well. There was no time to think things over and over again. He was already here and had made up his mind from the moment he saw the opportunity.Marco rested his hands calmly on his thighs and looked at Robert seriously. "On what basis do you dare to say such a thing?" It took more than words to convin
A warm puff of water with a refreshing citrus scent filled Marco's en suite bathroom. The bathtub was filled with water and almost full of foam. While Marco, the man, sat in his natural state with his head resting on the edge of the bath. Classical music played softly and pampered the ears.In Marco's hand, a glass of red wine accompanied his relaxing time. The man closed his eyes with his head, looking up at the bathroom ceiling. He had drunk almost two glasses of alcohol, so no doubt, his mind was flying into the clouds. But amazingly, Marco still knew he could not fall asleep in the bathroom.Marco let out a long sigh and got up from the bath. He grabbed a towel and moved to enter the room after rinsing himself with warm water from the shower.The sound of the door moving open could be heard from the room, along with an incoming message on Marco's cell phone. The man moved closer and opened it. It was a message from one of his good acquaintances. "Oh, what's wrong?" he muttered cur
The staff at Horizon Edge's capital branch company gathered at the entrance in a row. They all straightened their clothes and put on their best smiles, waiting for someone to arrive in a few minutes.When a black SVU car stopped in front of the company's door, and a person with shiny shoes emerged, the staff instantly put on their brightest faces. Everyone bowed deeply, waiting for the figure to enter and pass them all."Welcome, Mr. Marco," they said almost simultaneously. No one dared to raise their face when Marco's figure passed by, and they were still bowing deeply until Marco entered through the main door.One of the staff at the far end immediately followed Marco's lead and accompanied him to the elevator. "Good morning, Mr. Marco. We are truly delighted to have you here today. We are truly honoured that you would let us know in advance."While the manager managing the recruitment of new staff also approached, the man smiled broadly and showed a friendly face. "We've heard all
Hearing so many questions and sounding quite disorganised, Marco raised his hand to signal the reporters to hold back for a moment. The camera flashes continued to rain down on him rapidly as Marco took a deep breath. He remained calm and controlled the situation well."Please calm down," Marco said, referring to the reporters bombarding him with endless questions. And right at that moment, the noise from the questions that kept coming back and forth slowly decreased little by little. Before the end, there was only the running footage to record the events in the hotel hall.When all the reporters were under control, Marco looked up at the faces now, watching him intently. "All this time, I've been doing my work elsewhere, which is just as important as the work in the family company.""As for the business I just did, I'm quite fond of it outside of family matters. And about the hidden identity, we are waiting for the right time to share this good news with everyone," Marco added.The m
