Lucy was now in a much safer place, near her friends, who were sitting and looking at her with pitying eyes. Lucy felt her labored breathing relieved, her legs trembling even more with cold knees. She greedily gulped down her oxygen supply, though her stomach was still twisting with fear and the need to cry at the same time. Now, she was safe. Marco had rescued her and helped her get free from the mine that was in the vicinity of where she was standing before.Marco was still standing in front of her, arms around her with a cold look in his eyes. "So, now you want to tell me who claims to own this house?" He was curious about the person who had lied to this girl until he was sure of his previous decision.Lucy looked up, then swallowed hard. The girl shook her head and said, "I don't want to say. Because still, he might be the real owner." In the girl's mind, Marco might have been a servant there. He could have wandered around freely and knew where the mines were because he was used t
There has been so much going on lately. Marco has a lot on his plate and needs to get things done quickly. Not only did he have to take care of the new company he had just built with Wilson as the CEO. But Marco also had to complete tasks from his grandfather without making the slightest mistake. In fact, Marco has to travel to several cities to complete business that cannot be delayed. There were several that he had to meet for the sake of his grandfather's work.The man lost quite a bit of sleep and couldn't just ignore his responsibilities. Will even said, "Master, you should take some time to rest. You look exhausted."At that time, Marco refused, saying, "I'll finish this first." Marco was still busy with the file that had just been sent. His grandfather wanted investors from overseas, and Marco was going to win them for him.And now, when all the work was almost done, the servant had proposed a vacation for his tired-looking master. "You can choose any destination you want to un
Marco was not at all afraid of the bluff of the big man in front of him. Even if the man pointed a gun at him, Marco would not be afraid. Wasn't this his right to all the betting money he should have? Marco had done the right thing. And he came here to have fun, not to be cheated out of even the smallest amount. The pleasure of winning a bet was certainly a pleasure in itself. And he didn't want this man in front of him to spoil all the fun he was having.Billy shook his head softly, clearly underestimating whatever Marco had to say. The man waved his hand, shooing Marco away. "You better get out of here before I get mad and beat you to death! Look, there are so many workers here." He pointed to the large men standing not far from them. They were the guards here. Their average height was above one hundred and sixty, with fairly full bodies.Marco didn't care. "Oh, take it easy. I won't leave here empty-handed." So Marco took the cell phone in his pocket without taking his eyes off Bil
The boss's yelling was ear-shattering. Both Billy and the guards looked so shocked that their eyes widened fully. In fact, the guards seemed to be staring at each other with questioning looks. They didn't understand why they were being yelled at just for explaining what was going on there. All this time, the boss had always listened to them well and tended to support whatever they did. Yes, even if it was because he didn't know what was really going on. Also, none of the guests dared to report it in detail to the boss, so the busy man had to come here and run with his breath taken away.The boss then smiled awkwardly at Marco and said, Did Mr. Marco experience something bad?" he asked just to be sure. He was quite panicked when he got the news that he had to come here for some of his men who were not doing their jobs properly. So far, there had never been any significant problems at his racetrack. And it was quite a surprise to find such an important person calling him because of a pr
"Mr. Arnold, please don't do that. We don't want to live in prison," begged one of the men still wearing the typical black uniform of the guards. He looked down and refrained from crying. She was terrified and didn't want to imagine that she would have to live behind bars.Not only him, but even Billy clasped his hands. "Sir, we will fix this and never do it again. Please forgive us. We are guilty." There was no other way but to beg. He was willing to be fired as long as he didn't go to jail. That would worsen his record, and it would not be easy to get a new job when he was released."Please give us a second chance," begged the others without exception.Arnold shook his head. He couldn't spare them. "You've made a terrible mistake." As he said this, he could see that the workers were turning pale and trembling. He felt a little bad, but it wasn't in his power."It's not me you're hurting, it's Mr. Marco. You should apologise to him, not me." Afterwards, he saw that his subordinates,
After completing his first lap to warm up with the other drivers, Marco got out for a quick look around. Before he got back into his car and drove around the area, it felt pretty good, as he was able to release his stress and let it out by driving above the average speed on the highway. The adrenaline rush was intense, and it took away some of the tiredness that had been hanging over him for some time.Later, when he was done with all his free spins, Marco got out and found Arnold, the manager of the place, waiting for him with a big smile. The man greeted Marco, Good afternoon, Mr. Marco. Are you enjoying your time here?"Marco gave a small nod without answering. He readjusted the folds of his long shirt until it was a little neater. And then, Marco heard that Arnold was speaking to him again, "I am pleased if Mr. Marco is enjoying his time here. You can choose whatever you want to try. We've also set up a monitor room in case Mr. Marco wants to try watching the drivers racing on ano
At a moderate speed, Marco's car cut through the crowded streets at lunchtime like this. The sun was shining directly overhead, so the heat felt like it was burning his skin. Now, Marco's car stopped in front of a very famous luxury restaurant in Horizon Edge.At that moment, Irene's eyes widened, and she was quite surprised. The restaurant Marco had chosen was the best restaurant with a menu that was quite fantastic. Their service was outstanding, and it was said that this restaurant called Luxe Garment Haven had the most expensive wine among other restaurants.It was still unbelievable to Irene that this man she had just met would take her to such a fantastic place. There was no way she would spend a million dollars for a single meal at a place with such a classy feel. Even the cars lined up in the parking lot looked expensive and cost billions. The diners here must be rich people who don't hesitate to spend money on a plate of the highest quality food, even if it would take a lot o
Irene was entirely surprised by the woman's shout. The woman looked at the figure before her and said, "You should compensate me for this property of yours. Since it was you who bumped into me earlier." At this moment, they were alone right in front of the bathroom exit. No other woman was there even to wash her hands.Irene was unsure she was standing in a safe place, nor did she flick until this woman in front of her bumped into her from behind. And there was the incident of the powder scattering on the floor. According to Irene, she did nothing wrong. It was this woman who wasn't careful enough, so she shouldn't be held responsible for the problem. It didn't make sense that this strange woman would ask her for compensation.The woman, whose name was Ruby, naturally couldn't accept what Irene said. She barked loudly, "Hey, my powder broke because of you!" She insisted that it was Irene's fault and that she should pay for it.But then, Ruby paused and looked at Irene's unusual appear
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
