Wilson felt her hands break out in a cold sweat. She felt that this was not the best option. Marco had come with a few people with him. But still, they were entering the cage of a dangerous person with hundreds of people ready to fight. They would definitely be outnumbered and would die in an instant. Although Marco's thinking was good enough by not coming alone, they would be ganged up on and slaughtered entirely in just a few minutes.Zein gritted his teeth. "You're the one who made this commotion? Does that mean you attacked my son?" Zein shouted angrily. The man felt the veins in his neck tighten, feeling so emotional when he saw Marco's face present in Hugo's hospital room.Marco nodded casually to answer Zein's question. "Yes, that's right." Marco lifted his chin towards Hugo and said, "Your son was trying to hurt Miss Wilson. And as a parent, you should be responsible for that."Zein really didn't like the answer Marco gave him. "What a sassy mouth you have. Haven't you ever fe
Wilson glanced at Marco from her seat with complicated thoughts. She had worked as the CEO of the Sky family company, and Wilson also knew how powerful and influential the family was in the business world. No one dared to touch them because they could do something terrible and unimaginable. Rich people like them often use their power for personal gain. Wilson knew precisely howmuchh people worked. So, if something they don't like or someone tries to conflict with them, they will use their power to make it disappear like dust. In other words, whoever is more robust will be the winner.So, there was only one conclusion in Wilson's head. The great and mighty Sky family couldn't bow down to someone so ordinary and worthless. Now, Wilson was sure that Marco was a very influential figure. With an intense gaze, Wilson now looked at the man entirely."So, who are you?" Wilson finally asked. She felt so curious and wanted to know the identity of this man who was in the same car with him.Marc
Marco opened his eyes with an overwhelming feeling. He smiled a little, happy with what he had done yesterday. Finally, he had gotten Wilson as his secretary. If only he had used his family name to attract her initially, Wilson would not have thought twice about accepting his job offer. The problem would have been solved without any effort. But Marco didn't want to do that and kept the secret to himself.After all, in the end, Marco proved he could make Wilson change her mind. The woman who was so stubborn and dedicated was now his subordinate, the second person who would become CEO without mentioning Marco's name as the owner. And as for the matter of creating the company, it would be settled in a moment. There was nothing to worry about.All the documents needed for legality have been prepared. The company building has also been built and is now in the final stages of completion. There was nothing to worry about. Will helped him get everything done quickly and precisely.Now, Marco
Ricky chuckled loudly. His eyes looked sharp, and he seemed to dislike what Marco had said about him being blind. "You're the blind one!" He pointed at Marco with a low glare. "When everyone else is going to work, and you're exercising."The man in the heart-red shirt snorted. "That shows that you have absolutely no work and no income. Someone who is uselessly unemployed. You must not be able to tell the time between day and night anymore, huh? After all, you don't have a job that makes you any money at all!"Marco glanced at Ricky and said, "It's not like you're in front of me right now while I'm exercising. That means you're unemployed." Marco replied briefly to Ricky's words, which annoyed the man who had gone to college with him. Marco turned his words around so easily without thinking.Ricky glared sarcastically at Marco. Actually, what Marco said was the truth, that he was unemployed. Ricky didn't work, but he had so much prestige to admit it in front of Marco. The man he looke
When Marco stopped running, Ricky immediately felt energised. The man's eyes widened, and he smiled brightly. He looked at Marco's face with a happy expression. He thought that he had successfully baited Marco. And he was sure Marco must feel quite depressed because he guessed correctly. He was not misinformed. The man in front of him had only baited him his whole life. Both when he was in college and even until he got married. The difference is, back then, Marco hitchhiked to be financed from the taxes that the parents paid. And now, Marco was hitchhiking to a woman. To Ricky, that felt humiliating and must have flicked Marco's sky-high ego."Am I right?" asked Ricky enthusiastically. The man gave a small chuckle without waiting for Marco's approval. "Then, come and have breakfast with me. You must be holding your hunger right now." Ricky even touched his stomach, pretending to rub it as he held back his hunger. It was a taunt to Marco. A subtle taunt that Marco would remember for as
Ricky jumped back when he heard what the waiter said to Marco. His face looked so shocked, especially when the waiter bowed to Marco as if Marco was a great and respected master. The man widened his eyes and blinked a few times. Feeling that this was all impossible because Marco was just a son-in-law who lived in his wife's house.Moreover, the servant looked so neat in an all-black suit. He called Marco Master. This didn't make any sense. Ricky swallowed hard and asked the servant in a clumsy voice, "Is he your master?"Ricky had hoped the servant would say Marco was a son-in-law in his master's house. But the answer he got was completely different from what he wanted. "Of course, this is my master." The servant glanced briefly at Marco and said, "He is the only master I respect."Now, the servant looked at Marco fully and asked politely, "Master, now what shall we do?"Marco looked at his gold Rolex watch and replied, "We should go home. I'll have breakfast soon." After that, withou
"Master," Will greeted as Marco still enjoyed the weather on the television. The man cleared his throat softly, indicating he heard what Will would tell him. In front of him, there was an almost full cup of coffee. And also a few stacks of documents that Will had just delivered to him before Marco started listening to the weather.It was then that Will showed Marco a red invitation with a gold ribbon wrapped around the end. The man calmly said, "With respect, you are invited by Mr. Jerry Archer to his birthday party." He had read through the invitation to make sure he wasn't giving the wrong information. Will would always be careful when it came to his master.Without even thinking about who Jerry Archer was, Marco already knew who the man was. He was a man from the oldest family living in Horizon Edge's city. And one of the things that made the family so famous was their wealth of billions. That is, they were a wealthy family and had many positions and assets. The man was so famous a
There was no doubt about how lavish the party Marco attended tonight was. People with branded clothes and exorbitant prices were present in their best versions. They were great people whose image was already known by many business people. In every outfit they wore, it was, of course, the work of the best designers as well as luxury boutiques that only catered to the manufacture of luxury clothing.Once Marco got there, he could see women in flowing dresses and glamor. The men wore exclusive suits with cheerful faces. There was no doubt how they prepared for this night, as everyone looked radiant and confident. They got out of the latest luxury cars.From the corner, Marco stood just as Will finished opening the car door for him. Marco watched with a very calm face how the people who had influence and also good positions seemed to familiarize themselves with each other with big smiles. Marco clearly knew who they were. Their faces were familiar from the internet as well as magazines an
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
