“Thank you, Grandfather, for personally stepping in to help your grandson clean up the rotten members,” Paweł said.“Just go,” Richard replied, waving his hand.“Alright,” Paweł responded.After that, he quickly took his members away from Arcane Haven. Everyone swallowed hard as they watched the backs of the group from the Red Line Kings gang.Meanwhile, Aurora and Elias were still stunned and speechless. They weren’t the only ones; everyone else was silent too.In the entire lobby, only Elena was covering her mouth and laughing to the point of tears. The woman bent over, still laughing, before walking up to Richard.“Congratulations, boss. Now you have a bunch of great-grandson,” Elena said mischievously.Richard glanced at her but remained silent.“Thank you for your help,” Elias said to Richard.Once everyone from the Red Line Kings gang had left, the head servant of the Skyler family finally spoke up. He sincerely thanked Richard, who was sitting on the sofa.“May I ask, what’s yo
A very familiar voice. Elena instinctively looked up and turned toward the source of the voice. Her eyes immediately caught sight of her remarkable subordinate.On that subordinate’s finger was a ring that only a leader of Arcane Haven would wear. The man stood on the second floor, looking down with an arrogant and condescending expression.Meanwhile, the bodyguards and manager immediately greeted the man with respect. “President,” they said in unison. “President.”Haha! Ridiculous!“President?” Richard laughed. His laughter carried a strong sense of mockery. “If I remember correctly, the President of Arcane Haven is still in prison number one in Ligos city, isn’t it? Who are you?! Do you think you deserve to be called president?”Reizo glared at Richard. In the man’s eyes suddenly flickered a desire to kill. Meanwhile, Reginald, standing next to Reizo, also observed Richard closely.He clearly had never seen Richard before. But for some reason, upon seeing the man, he couldn’t hold b
When Reginald uttered that sentence, the knife lodged in Reizo’s abdomen sank even deeper. “Ugh!” The knife pierced further. Warm blood flowed from Reizo’s wound, the iron-scented liquid dripping onto the floor.Reizo’s eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Reginald. “Y-you, you dare to trap me...” Thud!Reizo’s eyes bulged as he fell into his own pool of blood. The sight left everyone in stunned silence. Even Elena and Richard’s views of Reginald began to shift. How cruel! In the most critical moment, that man could even kill his ally. “Now that Reizo is dead, who else dares to oppose Elena as the leader of Arcane Haven?!” Reginald shouted in front of everyone at Arcane Haven.As expected, no one dared to speak. The members of Arcane Haven hurriedly knelt before Elena and said, “Welcome back, leader!”Reginald nodded in satisfaction. He then walked up to Elena with a friendly smile. “Ms. Elena, my name is Reginald Dwayne. I am the new president of Monolith Group,” the man intr
Reginald dropped to one knee on the floor, suppressing the burning resentment in his chest, and forced a smile as he said, “Sir, I hope you can be magnanimous enough to let me have dinner with you.”Richard couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of someone who hated him to the core struggling to be nice.He patted Reginald on the shoulder and said, “Hahaha! Since this young master is so determined, I allow it! Go ahead!”After receiving Richard’s approval, the man forced a very insincere smile and replied, “Thank you very much! Please, go ahead in first, as I need to contact the daughter of the Skyler family. She must also attend this dinner.”Reginald calmed himself in his heart, reminding himself to be patient due to Richard’s great status. If he could gain the man’s trust, he would also reap significant benefits. He would gladly kneel or even eat dirt if necessary!After being imprisoned for over ten years, enduring humiliating treatment and beatings had become his daily fare. Theref
Hearing a shout from the entrance made the heads of the people gathered there, who were beating Reginald, turn in unison.The first sight they caught was Ramiro running toward them, accompanied by a group of other important figures. The panic and nervousness on the man’s face looked as if he had just met a king or a god!“Rami-Ramiro Gunarsa?!”“Huh? Why is he already free?!” Reginald’s eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the man standing at the front. He was sure he wasn’t mistaken! That man was the owner of The Velvet Fork, Ramiro Gunarsa!Why was he free at the same time as Elena? Why were all the important people locked up in Ligos city released simultaneously?Richard merely smiled a thin yet meaningful smile upon seeing Reginald’s shocked expression. It wasn’t just Reginald and the three people beside him; everyone present there was equally stunned!In the span of a month, many extraordinary important figures imprisoned in Ligos city had been freed. And those very people w
“Before that, Grandpa wants to tell you three things that you need to remember,” said Alexander, which Aurora nodded in agreement.“The first, the Dwayne family is a group of entrepreneurs, but their grandfather is someone who possesses remarkable medical knowledge.”Aurora’s face suddenly tensed. It’s true that the Dwayne family is a business family, but the grandfather of that family has helped many important people with his medical expertise. How could that happen?“Roderick is famous all over the country and is protected by everyone. I wonder why he would let an ordinary person like Wilbur into the Dwayne family? After his daughter and wife were murdered, why didn’t any of the people he helped come to his aid?”At first, Aurora didn’t feel anything was odd, but after hearing her grandfather’s words, she suddenly felt that something was wrong. What he said was indeed true; what was really going on?If someone helps you in your most critical moment, you would definitely consider tha
“What did you just say?” Richard asked as he straightened up, glaring at Wilona. “The granddaughter who returned is Aurora?” he repeated.“What?! I already told you, I should be the only granddaughter in the Skyler family! Don’t you understand human language?!” Wilona snapped, clearly irritated.Her chest tightened with anger at Richard’s question. She turned away with an annoyed expression. The first thing she saw was the handsome face of the man, his eyes glaring with an intense, intimidating look.Wilona guessed that Richard was no ordinary person. She tried to suppress her curiosity and asked, “Who are you? Where are you from?”“I’m not in Ligos city. You said the Aurora who returned to Ligos city—is she Aurora Nelsons from Almolia City?” Richard asked, ignoring her previous question.“Isn’t she the daughter of the Nelsons Family? How did she become part of the Skyler family?” Richard asked again.“How do you know?” Wilona was shocked because Alexander hadn’t disclosed Aurora’s pr
Just those two simple words were enough to make Aurora’s eyes well up with tears.“It hurts,” Aurora answered, biting her lower lip and nodding as she looked at Richard.The man’s heart sank instantly. He gently stroked her wrist, a gesture that made the men in the room grit their teeth in jealousy.The owner of Gelli Group, who had been knocked down earlier, was now standing with the help of nearby guests. He glared furiously at Richard and shouted, “Hey! Kid! You looking to die?! I’ll call my men to finish you off—”Richard’s barely-contained rage flared up once again upon hearing the man’s threat.Slap!A hard slap landed on the face of the Gelli Group owner, spinning him around on the spot.“I’ve never even said a single foul word to her!”Slap!Another harsh strike hit the man’s cheek, causing his vision to blur momentarily.“And you dare touch her?!”Slap!“You want to kill me?”Slap!“Didn’t your cousin tell you who I am? I’m his ancestor!”The relentless blows left the man’s f
