Marco was shocked. He was shocked. It was like fireworks were exploding in his mind. It was shocking but also exciting.He never thought that Will could do this. Marco was both surprised and delighted. He called the bartender and asked, "Where's Will?""Will will be down in a moment, Master." The bartender said politely.Just as the bartender had said, before long, Will was downstairs. However, he wasn't wearing bartender clothes. He was wearing casual clothes. Will stood in front of Marco."How, Master, do you now believe?" Will asked.Marco smiled slightly. His eyes sparkled, and he looked enthusiastic. "How did you do it? This is a huge case, and you only need half an hour to solve it."Will looked relieved. With Marco responding like that, it meant that Marco was satisfied. He practised saying humbly. "It's all because of the Gallahad family, Master. We will teach a lesson to everyone who dares to insult a Galahad. Do you now believe that you are from the Gallahad family?"Marco s
Marco looked at the person who seemed to be talking to him. His face turned sour when he saw Stefani holding a man. A man who was neither himself nor Hansel Burton. There was a slight pain in Marco's chest, but he quickly brushed it off. Everything about him and Stefani was in the past.Meanwhile, Stefani held tightly to a man's hand, both of them approaching Marco."What are you doing here? Are you stalking me?" Stefani shouted.Marco scratched his itchy cheek. "This is a clothing store. Everyone is free here. No one can forbid it. If I knew we would meet, I would try hard to go. Even if it requires me to go to a more expensive store.""Excuses. You just want to stalk me, right?" Stefani sneered."Why would I follow you around? It's like you're the only woman left. Especially a woman who likes to change partners like you. I'm so sick of it."Marco waved his hand. He turned around and left Stefani. Marco walked to a row of casual clothes that suited his taste. He picked one up and loo
At that moment, Stefani laughed amusedly. She didn't expect Marco to make such a joke. Stefani's face turned red from laughing too much. She sneered cruelly. "Marco, you're right. This must be a fake black card, right? A tramp like you is so smart to think of something like that."A low sigh escaped Marco's mouth. He raised the black card until it was level with his face. "This card is real."The card was dove black in color with an elegant gold pattern. Marco's name was printed on the corner of the card. Marco pointed at it. "This is my card. My name is written here."Stefani's face became ugly. This was the worst joke she had ever received. "Marco, if you're going to lie, don't lie to me. Your name is Marco, but your last name doesn't start with a G. You're Marco Santana."Stefani suddenly covered her mouth. "Oops... I let it slip. I'm sorry for revealing your secret!"She smiled, but it was evident that Stefani was mocking Marco.The corners of Marco's lips twitched. He didn't know
In the car park, a woman was seen walking hurriedly. Behind her was a man chasing after her. Although beautiful, the woman showed a very bad expression. "It's all because of you!" Stefani shouted at Evan. "Stefani, wait!" Evan managed to catch up to Stefani. He grabbed her hand, which made Stefani stop and turn around. Stefani pointed at Evan. She was furious as she said, "You make me so ashamed! You can't even beat a loser like Marco!" The atmosphere became even more heated. Stefani continued to insult Evan by calling him a lousy man. Evan also felt very embarrassed that he couldn't beat Marco. As a man, he had high self-esteem. However, he had already lost $100K to Stefani, so if Stefani continued to scold him, it was the same as her not thanking him. "Enough! I've been buying you nice things all this time, just because I lost to that loser, then you can just abuse me?" Evan shouted.Stefani fell silent. She looked down and stared at the floor. Her jaw hardened. "That's because
Jones looked surprised. The policeman immediately turned to Marco and looked at him from head to toe. What Will said didn't make sense in his head. He couldn't believe Will would say that a bad-looking man like Marco was his young master. Moreover, Jones also knew that the man made more money than Evan, Stefani's mistress.Now, Jones looked at Will with an awkward look, "Is it true that this man is your young master?" His face took on an unpleasant look, one of hesitation and insecurity. Jones felt uneasy. If he disturbed Will's young master, his career could be jeopardized. Will alone could get him into trouble, let alone a man with a higher status than Will himself.Will returned Jones' gaze and replied without hesitation, "Yes." The man didn't have to think twice about saying it. And just like that, Jones' face turned so pale that he trembled. He looked at Marco and Will in turn.Jones immediately bowed deeply to apologize, "Sorry, Mr. Will, I didn't know." Jones hadn't lifted his
Ocean.co, Evan turned an unpredictable face towards Marco. The man blinked a few times, unable to make an expression as hard as before. He knew what company Ocean.co was that Jones was talking about, and now he was standing before him after making a big deal out of it. Now, Evan has lost his own words.And Stefani, who had never been in business during her marriage to Marco, certainly didn't know what company they were discussing. She kept a fierce face with knitted eyebrows and bulging eyes, "So what if he's from Ocean.co? That doesn't change the fact that he's a poor man, and he has successfully deceived you!"Stefani barked loudly, pointing at Marco with her finger, now decorated with red polish. She was so upset that she wanted to scream at the top of her lungs. Her ex-husband was working a low-paying job, and now he was sweeping people off their feet, leaving her to endure the shame. For Stefani, Marco has to take responsibility for his mess. Let's see, Stefani will make it so th
In the afternoon, Marco enjoyed chamomile tea with a croissant at a nearby café. Julius observed the quiet surroundings. People seemed to be busy with their own business. No one was acting strangely by scrutinizing the appearance of others. They were enjoying their leisure time in the afternoon with the sound of soft music filling the cafe.Marco was sipping his tea when a call came into his cell phone. The man picked it up casually, waiting for Will to speak, "Master, we've gotten Evan and caught him trying to escape."Marco nodded, then went back to sipping his tea with relish. He listened to Will's every word on his cell phone, "And Stefani is now in jail on charges of libel, theft, and disturbing the peace. They have both been apprehended and will no longer be able to bother you."Marco cleared his throat, setting his teacup on the table so quietly that it didn't make the slightest clinking sound. The man gazed out the window, where several cafes and accessory shops were bustling
Hearing Marco's answer, Lily, Otto's wife, snorted quite loudly. She rolled her eyeballs and responded with a very sarcastic remark, "Ah, just that much? It's so small." Actually, Lily thought that Marco owed her husband a large debt. But, when she heard it was only a hundred and fifty dollars, she could only snort again. Even so, she tried to think happily because if Marco returned twice as much, she would receive three hundred dollars.Even though Marco was here for a good cause, Lily still couldn't look at him kindly. She was still frowning and scowling, not wanting to be nicer to her husband's guest.Otto smiled a little. The man with cropped hair and a thin mustache under his nose cleared his throat, "Marco, let's go in first. We can talk inside." He was such a different person from his cynical wife. Otto would always treat his guests with kindness and hospitality.Hearing Otto inviting Marco to come in, Lily immediately blocked him by spreading her hands, "No! No, you can talk o
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
