Erick really couldn't believe his eyes. What Marco said about making her a slave was true. Because now, he was standing in front of a large building after Marco dragged him by force. His mouth gaped, astonished by this sturdy building with many people working there.

Then, Erick's reverie was shattered when Marco again pulled the back of his collar to get in. The man struggled, trying to escape but unable to. He immediately shouted, "Hey, you can't force someone to do work for you. This is the 21st century! I can report you for human rights violations!"

All of Erick's yelling and thrashing did nothing. Marco didn't budge, not even a glance. He still took Erick with him to enter. Before saying, "Of course I can. None of that applies because of the bet I've already won."

When they reached the door, Marco pushed Erick until the man stumbled. Marco gave him a flat look. "If you intend to escape from here, that's a lousy choice."

Marco chuckled, he glanced at Will who was already present in

    Stefani stretched her body until there was a loud crackle. She looked down at herself before sobbing. "Mama..." She felt so sick that she could hardly move. The confined space of the prison and the hard mattress had tortured her all this time.Melani looked at her daughter with pity. She immediately hugged her and said, "Shang, you're so poor." The woman teared up as she stroked Stefani's slightly tousled hair. Her daughter had missed a lot of treatment while in prison, which was why she now looked pale and dishevelled.On the waiting room chairs in the austere police station, the mother and daughter embraced each other tightly. Stefani still felt the pain in her waist and noticed her skin had become dull. At the sight of it all, her resentment rose and grew. In her mind's eye, the face of Marco, who had put her in prison, appeared. "It's all Marco's fault! I'll definitely pay him back!"Stefani buried her face in Melani's arms and said again, "I will make him ashamed and sorry for pl

    "Master, Stefani was released from prison this afternoon at one o'clock. She was released and secured by a man named Arnold. And now, they have left the police station area." Marco listened to Will's report while drinking his tea. The man sat leaning against the guardrail at the top of his house.Marco nodded. "Yes, I know." And with that, Marco hung up the phone. Hearing Stefani being set free by another man wasn't unusual. The woman was quite beautiful and could certainly attract many men. Marco had even been infatuated with her. Well, if only he didn't know the dark side of this crazy woman. But no matter, it was all in the past. It wouldn't matter anymore. Now, Marco had already started his new life. So, after turning off the phone call, Marco put his cell phone in his pocket. The man walked out of his residence and walked to the downtown area. His eyes scanned the surroundings that were so crowded with passing vehicles. Both two wheels and four wheels.Afterwards, Marco turned t

    Marco looked up at the man in the leather jacket who had just arrived. Their eyes met momentarily before the man looked away and stared at Kevin. "How was it? Have you prepared all the necessary paperwork and letters? The two million dollars I will give you will greatly help you."Kevin nodded with a worried face. "Yes, I have everything ready. But I've been so busy lately that I forgot to check." Then, Kevin said, "But don't worry, I'll check on it later this afternoon. And according to the agreement, we can finish it tomorrow." The man, whose name was Jonathan, smiled a little. "Yes, it doesn't matter if it's not today. Remember, two million dollars is not a small amount." Apparently, he was the one who would buy this bookstore building. Marco listened to their conversation quietly and began to analyze something here. The deal struck between the two people before him had something suspicious about it. Marco then turned around and looked right at Jonathan, he put one of his hands o

    "I don't have a thousand dollars in my wallet," said Marco, who stood up. He looked straight at Jonathan, who was still staring dimly at Marco. "But that doesn't mean I don't have any money at all."Jonathan was genuinely upset by everything Marco said. He raised his chin and glared at Marco. "You're really presumptuous and too meddlesome. Why don't you get out of here? This is none of your business and has nothing to do with you!" Jonathan pointed at Marco's chest with his index finger. He really wanted to push Marco out of his way."Besides, this building will soon be mine. So get out of my sight now." Jonathan didn't want to see Marco's face for even a minute. He really wanted to eliminate him from his sight. So, with his blood already burning with emotion, Jonathan tried to grab Marco's hand roughly.But Marco didn't want to just follow Jonathan's will. So, with a flat and expressionless face, Marco brushed Jonathan's hand away. He didn't care what Jonathan did and only focused on

    Kevin rubbed his eyes, unable to believe what he was seeing. It seemed absurd and confusing. Then, he realized the paper with his account number had passed into Marco's hands. That meant Marco had taken it quickly as he squeezed it in confusion. Especially now, it was clearly written on Marco's cell phone that the man had sent seven million dollars directly into his account. So, Kevin quickly checked into his cell phone and assumed it was because the amount had actually entered his bank account."How did this happen?" muttered Kevin weakly.Marco put his phone back in his pocket and said, "The money is my drawing. So I'd better not sell this building because its price is low and far from the market."Marco then sat down quietly and handed Kevin's account number to the bottom of the stack of books. "Besides, why would you sell the building if you already have the money? You can use that money for renovation costs. And as for your son's surgery, you don't have to think about it anymore

    "Hey, damn it! Who do you think you are to sue me?" Jonathan fumed with his fists clenched tightly. The man felt so fiery and offended by everything Marco had said to Kevin. He felt more intelligent than the two men before him and could do anything to scare him.With a frowning face and pouting lips, Jonathan looked at Marco and snapped at him, "You're the one I'm going to sue for interfering and getting in the way of other people's work. You're the one who's going to jail! You're so ignorant!""Besides, you've already spent much money just to save him. I'm sure you'll regret it and sell the building back. And when that happens, I'll laugh at you because I know this building will only sell for a pittance!" Jonathan shouted, trying to make Marco feel inferior.However, Marco was so relaxed. He didn't show any hesitation or anything. His face was flat and unpredictable. "That will never happen. That prophecy of yours is just a hoax. Do you want to bet on it?"Marco then smiled a small s

    "Hey, do you know about the charity party in a week?" asked a woman with her hair tied up high. She was holding a coffee cup with a handbag on the other side. The woman was sitting on a chair close to the exit of a cafe.Another woman who came with her also sat in the same place. Her hair was blonde with a short shoulder-length cut. She lifted her latte before saying, "Oh yeah, I heard that. It's said that many young businessmen have just joined." When she said that, the two women suddenly lit up. Both of them laughed happily. "Duh, I so want to come there. But I don't have an invitation. I'm not rich enough." The woman with black hair shook her head dramatically, slightly laughing at her fate.The blonde woman said, "Yeah, I want to go there too. Who knows, we could find a future husband. We don't have to work as hard as we do now. We might be able to hook up with one of the big young businessmen there."The chatter about the charity ball was not limited to the two young women. Tal

    After watching Laura's lover leave, Marco sat back in his chair quietly. He didn't want to interfere and add to the problem by caring for other people's actions. To be honest, he didn't care. He was just preventing things from getting worse.But as it turned out, the woman Marco had helped sat beside him without permission. The woman lowered her head so that her black hair hung slightly forward. She rubbed her face roughly and took a strong breath. "I've worked hard to make it like it is now!" she complained with her eyes closed.Marco didn't want to care and only glanced at her. However, the woman continued to babble in a frustrated tone. "He was just an ordinary student, and I worked so that he could continue his studies. I was determined to make him successful, and he promised to marry me when he did. I was very patient and always supported him. But look what he's done now!"The woman clenched her fists and stared vengefully in the direction her former lover had gone. "He just left

    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
