Marco had already received all the files given by the old man. Currently, Marco is checking them one by one. Meanwhile, the man named Ramon let out a long sigh and said, "You could have sent someone to get these documents. But why did you go through all the trouble to get to this place?"Marco calmly put the documents back on the table. The man looked at Ramon with a gaze that was as calm as water. He said, "Yes, this all seems like a vacation to me."Marco tapped one forefinger on the table and looked at the waves chasing each other on the sea. He then said, "After all, I also have to get to know what my people are like. It's not too complicated."Ramon frowned and looked at Marco intensely. "You are, indeed, a little strange." What man would consider a job like this a vacation? Even he was tired of going back and forth for documents in one day. But then, he took a deep breath. The man shook his head and erased some bad thoughts about the man before him. After all, he was sure that M
One of the men with a baseball cap on his head then chimed in, "Maybe, when he was young, he never got to experience fun like us. That's why he's acting like that now. I bet he doesn't have any friends." He smiled wryly, waiting for Marco to turn around and scold him. That would be fun because he could make fun of Marco further.It was not a mere accusation. Marco did not have any friends when he was their age. He was too busy earning money to survive. There was no time for fun and vacations like them. But that didn't mean he was jealous and targeted young people like them for his disappointment. Marco was an adult. His mind was already wide open.In the end, Marco ignored them all and let them chatter away as they pleased. It was pointless and unnecessary to deal with young people who could not be advised nicely. They would only become more ignorant and talk strangely.At first, Marco wanted to leave and not think about it. But apparently, the young people didn't want to let Marco go
Rey swallowed with incredible difficulty. Instantly, his throat became so dry that no words could come out of it. The hands that were originally trying to tear and destroy the documents now moved clumsily. Their eyes stared at each other. Even the men who had wanted to hit Marco back instead backed away and licked their lips nervously. This situation was not what they expected at all.Rey turned to Marco in doubt. The man asked, "Is this document yours?" From the hesitant tone of his voice, it was certain that Rey was a little shaken by what he had just done. Some ominous images were going around in his rock-hard head.After hearing Rey's question, Marco briefly replied, "Yes." And immediately picked up the document. The man looked at the group of young people coldly. Their attitude was outrageous and embarrassing. "You guys, be insolent." Marco disliked the behavior of those who didn't know the rules. At their age, they should be able to distinguish between right and wrong. But just
Marco was still staring at the woman with a questioning look. He had done nothing and had come here to ask her. Although deep down in Marco's heart, according to the instinct of a man who sees a beautiful woman, he would want to pay a little attention and make her turn her head. But, he had done nothing before this. Moreover, as he saw, the woman was also standing in confusion in such a lonely place. Marco came over to her to inquire about her situation, not to do anything bad. But see what he got? Instead, Marco got a cold and annoying attitude.Finally, Marco asked, "What do you mean?"And the woman named Isabela replied, "I have a flat tire. Maybe you did it." There is some conjecture about the perpetrator who might have done this to trap her. It is not impossible that it was Marco because he was the only one there when the woman felt confused and trapped.Isabella herself was a woman from the large Rooney family who was quite famous in Horizon Edges. The beautiful woman with an at
The woman casually asked, "Where are you going? Doesn't a man usually ask for something in return?" Her face didn't seem to feel guilty at all. She was used to it. It was annoying, but to her, all men were the same. They would not sincerely help her and leave without anything in return.Marco looked at the woman strangely. The frown on his forehead was back as it was when Isabela questioned whether or not he was the one who deflated the tires of the woman's car. It was pretty difficult to deal with a woman like this. Because this was enough to tire her out. Every single thing seemed like she knew more about it than anyone else. At first, he was accused of getting the tire flat, and now he thought he would ask for something in return for the favor he did for her.Marco turned around and replied, "What do I need something like that for?" Marco was a little confused by Isabela's point. Marco had never asked for anything in return for his favors.Isabela then cleared her throat. "What kin
Andrew held back his growing anger. He thought that Isabella's attention was only on Marco. She didn't glance at him at all and instead looked at the man in the middle of nowhere who suddenly turned into a superhero and replaced his role to help Isabella. He couldn't let something like this happen. Andrew would lose big and feel defeated.Andrew thought he should be the center of attention of the woman of his heart. He had been pursuing her for years. He shouldn't lose to a man Isabella had only met for a few minutes. It should be Andrew who helps Isabella and gets praise from the woman. In fact, from the way Isabella looked at Marco, Andrew could see that it looked very different. Isabella even considered looking at him for more than three seconds.So boldly, Andrew girded his loins and gave Marco a fierce look. "Who are you? It could be that you are just a criminal who is framing and trying to take advantage of this woman.""It could be that you're the one who made the situation thi
Both Isabella and Andrew turned to Marco simultaneously. Both linked their eyebrows and looked incredulous at what they had just heard.Isabella had to blink several times to convince herself that she hadn't heard wrong at all. It seemed very strange to find a man who refused her wishes. So far, when Isabelle offered something to men, they would immediately accept it without a second thought. Even when Isabella was indifferent and did not make any offers, the men would offer her various things to be together longer.Isabella was still thinking hard, "How could there be a man who could ignore her beauty? Is she normal?" Isabella still firmly believed that she was so beautiful and attractive. Even after all these years, Andrew still chased her like a buffalo with a nose.Some so many men wanted her. And how could the man in front of her reject her? It feels like Isabella still doesn't want to believe. If Marco also doesn't know who he is. Usually, people in this city must know who Isabe
Marco reads the morning news on his tablet. Initially, business was his chosen topic, such as his country's exports rising by twenty percent and the increase in shares sold by Sir Jill for her thirty percent stake in Roger. Inc. over the past three months.Before the information from the portrait of a woman, he had just met a few days ago. That was Isabella from the Benedict family. A woman who turned out to have a virtuous image and was very generous. The beautiful daughter of the Benedict family herself owns a charity house that has always routinely provided humanitarian assistance to children who no longer have parents. Or the elderly who have no one.The Benedict family itself is a family that is famous for its immense wealth and business. They have the power to move the market not only in their own country but also in other countries. And that is one of the reasons why Isabella often travels outside the city and country. Not only taking care of the prosecutor's office, Isabella a
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
