Today, at the Luxellery hotel that was so famous throughout Horizon Edge and the entire city, things were bustling. The hall was filled with many men and women carrying cameras and microphones. They all seemed to be standing and staring at each other in the distant direction, where a small stage had been set up with a podium.Some so many reporters came there with an invitation and identification cards. They were all checked before entering and stood in the center of the room, whispering to each other. This was done to minimize any crime during the press conference.The hall, two or four times the size of a soccer field, was almost filled with curious reporters. They checked their flashes and recording devices several times.A man who had worked as a senior journalist looked back at the invitation in his hand, which was maroon with gold accents on the edges. The man looked around and saw only the guards on standby, without a single person who might be the main star of the day. "I wond
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
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
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 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
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
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
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
