"Eldest brother, you finally called me." Raphael's voice on the phone sounded cheerful. "However, I've received some not-so-wonderful news about your situation.""Well, yes, I just dealt with Antonius de Angelis three days ago," Sebastian replied, trying to make small talk. "You know, I'm starting to think about your offer.""That is very kind, Elder. We always wait for you here," Raphael replied. "Once you arrive in Grandeur Springs, crumbling gangsters like De Angelis won't be able to bother you anymore.""That's what I thought," Sebastian replied honestly. "Can I have a villa there? I'll bring all my assistants to live with me in Grandeur.""Of course, brother. Not just a villa, we've prepared a mansion for you. It's ten times bigger than the villa you currently have.""Thank you. I think I'll go there tomorrow.""I am very happy to hear this intention, Eldest. We will prepare the best for you here."After hanging up with Raphael, Sebastian immediately redirected the call to Amanda
As the person closest to Rachel, Sebastian made a special trip to see her.When they met, Rachel greeted Sebastian with a warm smile.However, Sebastian felt that there was a hint of disappointment behind her smile.Rachel must have been trying to save face."Good morning, Rachel. How are you?" asked Sebastian."Of course, I'm good, Sebastian. I'm grateful that you've allowed me to vacation in the Maldives. It is just like heaven on earth."Sebastian smiled. "After this, you should try Bali. It's not a bad vacation spot at all."Rachel said, "Is there anything you need from me, Sebastian?""Well, Rachel, I just wanted to make sure that you were okay. I haven't heard much about you lately. You've been quiet.""You must know that it's an innate trait of mine." Rachel stiffened. "I'm just not good at talking to people.""If you can't talk to people, at least you can talk to me."Rachel looked away with a sad smile. "How can I? You're too busy for me."Sebastian realized that he was being
In Grandeur Springs, there is no such thing as a small building.Even the smallest building, a security post, is 50 square meters!The rest of Grandeur Springs is filled with palace-sized mansions and some administrative offices that are no less large.According to the information Sebastian received, Grandeur Springs was filled with only 30 mansions, even though its area was only slightly smaller than Luxinton Hill, which had hundreds or even thousands of houses.This was enough to explain that Grandeur Springs was an exclusive, elite city filled with only the richest and most influential people in the country.Of the 30 mansions, Sebastian was lucky to get one of them.On a towering hilltop, hidden amongst the lush trees, stood an impressive architectural marvel - a magnificent mansion with a size that reached 10,000 square meters, and a total land area of 20,000 square meters.A towering structure with beautifully detailed curves, the mansion seems to have emerged from a dream.The
At dinner time, Raphael's luxury car pulled into the courtyard of Sebastian's mansion. The car door opened with an inviting wave, and Raphael stepped out with a confident stride.He had the appearance of a 25-year-old upper-class man, standing 185 centimeters tall. The suit he was wearing was not formal but still emphasized luxury.Meanwhile, the car he took to get here was a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, the most luxurious SUV ever.At dusk, the car exudes a breathtaking sheen. Its elegant body and well-proportioned proportions suggest both elegance and power.It has a 6.75-liter V12 engine that produces incredible power, providing smooth acceleration and an impressive top speed. Its advanced suspension and self-driving technology make for a comfortable ride with no distractions.The interior design of the Cullinan is equally impressive. It is polished inside with high-quality materials such as leather and wood. The latest technology blends with the classic design, creating an exclusive and
Sebastian and Raphael entered the Heavenly Family's Celestial Domain.The atmosphere inside was much quieter and warmer than the extravagant and over-the-top exterior.Sebastian found only a few parts of the hall made of gold or gems, the rest were marble floors and old wood.It was very simple and classic, but still gave off an aura of luxury that could not be described in words.As he continued to walk the halls, Raphael explained, "Mom just wanted people not to look down on our family, so she showed her wealth on the outside of the mansion. Inside, she made it a simple, cozy, warm home for the whole family."Passing through the halls, they finally arrived at the banquet hall.The most striking thing was a 20-meter-long dining table with many dishes on it. So many dishes, for sure!Twenty chairs surround a very large table. Eighteen of the seats were in use, and the other two seats were definitely for Sebastian and Raphael.At the end of the table, the main seat was occupied by a be
When Sebastian returned to the mansion, he found Amanda's parents waiting for him in the main hall."Mr. Cole, could we have a little time to talk?" asked Robert, Amanda's father."But if it interrupts your break, you don't have to, son," Amanda's mother, Susan, gently added to her husband's words.Sebastian smiled warmly as he replied, "Of course I can. I should be the one to meet you both, so forgive me for being so rude. How about we talk on the roof terrace, sir and ma'am?"Robert and Susan agreed.Sebastian took them up to the top floor. On the way, he also explained some of the facilities in the mansion."While the designated area you have been granted includes the right wing of the mansion, please do feel free to explore the entirety of the estate and make use of all the facilities available at your convenience."After arriving at the rooftop, Sebastian called out to some servants manning the minibar there to order three cups of milk tea.Although Sebastian was currently cravin
Sebastian chose not to think about it further, he asked something else:"How much profit did we make from all these sales?""This is Cole's Company Limited's first sale, sir, so the profit is less than $200,000," Rachel replied sheepishly."That's not a bad thing." Sebastian smiled with satisfaction. "I did not target any monetary gain from the establishment of Cole's Company Limited. Doing business is just a formality, but the main thing is to dominate the underground market and beat all my competitors. So, if you need money to expand this business further, you should not hesitate to ask me for it."After confirming that Rachel was capable of handling all these jobs, Sebastian immediately called Drake to meet him in a soundproof room.When he entered the room, Drake was ready in his neat and polite work clothes. He was no longer in his pajamas and had a glass of cold beer in his hand."Sir, you called me," Drake said."Yes, please have a seat." Sebastian pointed to the chair in front
Sebastian returned home after making contact with people who were also hostile to the De Angelis brotherhood.He immediately called Thomas."What can I do for you, sir?""I would like to arrange a dinner for 10 people at Jade Lotus Restaurant, could you help me with that?""Of course, sir. It will be ready at 7 pm."Sebastian looked at his watch, finding that seven pm was still two hours away.Just then, he received a message from Raphael.[Eldest, did you just pay a visit to Albert's house? You must be in trouble. Why don't you call me now and maybe I can help in some way?]Upon receiving Raphael's message, Sebastian saw it as a chance to garner extra support in addressing the menace posed by the De Angelis Brotherhood. While he had reservations initially about entangling his younger brother in such a perilous affair, Sebastian believed that the present moment called for more than just his solitary efforts. He recognized Raphael's access to resources and extensive network as assets t
