Everyone was shocked when they saw the video, especially the woman and the shopkeepers. Althon replayed the video, turning up the volume while Brody smiled widely and laughed out loud. "You son of a bitch! That video shows that you deliberately put that cockroach carcass in your food, damn woman! You want to cause trouble in the restaurant!" Brody snapped. "I didn't do it," the woman argued as she looked down, clutching her skirt. "I didn't intend to do anything bad or cause trouble in this restaurant.""Don't lie! You deliberately put that cockroach in your food during the power outage so nobody would know about your evil deeds! I'm sure someone else helped you! Tell me who that person is!"The restaurant owners began to fidget, looking at each other. They were sure of destroying this restaurant, but they were upset and scared because of the video. When they were about to leave the restaurant, they were already in the middle of a crowd. The customers started whispering, looking sa
The restaurant owners were shocked, looking at each other. "Don't talk nonsense, damn woman! I don't know you at all! You're such an asshole! I've been defending you all along, but you're just slandering me!" one restaurant owner snapped, pointing at Sarah. The other restaurant owners started to break through the crowd, but Brody quickly pressed the button to close the door. "You're not going to run, asshole men!" Brody laughed, turning to Sarah. "You need to point the finger at those asshole restaurant owners right now, crazy woman! If you don't, my friends and I will call your boss and report you to jail."Sarah rolled her eyes, glaring at the restaurant owners. She certainly didn't want her career ruined just because of this. If she was destroyed, she wasn't ruined alone."It's them! They disguised themselves so that no one would know their identity! They're the ones who've been defending me and cornering you!" Sarah pointed at the six men in turn. "Give me a way out now!""What
Brody closed the door as the staff left the restaurant. He hurried over to Althon, sitting down in a chair. "I'm still pissed off with that damn woman and those restaurant owners. It would help if you threw them in jail so they don't make any more trouble. This restaurant will become more popular.""Reporting to the police isn't free even though the rules state there's no charge when we report. We are just poor people who are starting a business. These restaurant owners are still at a higher level than us now." Althon showed Brody the restaurant's revenue today. Brody was surprised. "Today's revenue is the highest since the restaurant opened. We can buy equipment and expand the restaurant quickly with this money."Brody watched the restaurant for a moment. "The police only work when a case goes viral, or the people who get into trouble are those with power and money. They only consider poor people as bullies.""Yeah, I've had a few run-ins with the police for things I didn't do." Alt
Ronny followed the gang to the headquarters. He stood in the back row, watching a man on a pile of wooden boxes. "I recognize that trash. He's one of Sonic's confidants. I could've beaten that jerk if I wasn't hurt."Ronny surveyed the surroundings. "These scum only numbered less than sixty people. Sonic brought a lot of troops to the meeting. I hope they don't find my friends. Hell, I should hope the attackers don't finish them off.""Everyone shut up!" snapped a man at the front of the crowd. "I gathered you to give you important information. I got a report that someone attacked the members while stealing their money and cell phones. According to one of the victims, the person was tall, moved very fast, and was good at fighting. Even so, he seems to have a wound on the left shoulder."Ronny looked down. "They turned out not to be as stupid as I thought. I'm lucky that I followed those punks. What would they have done to me?""The news about the Boss and most of our troops outside th
"I can't confirm what happened at Red Sting's three hideouts yet. However, I suspect that there have been deadly battles in those places. I also don't know where and how the Red Sting members are right now," said the leader of the rogues with glasses. "Who did you think got slaughtered in that fight?" asked one of the ringleaders beside Sonic. There was a sudden silence. Sonic and the three ringleaders kept their mouths shut, watching the images on the screen. Sonic let out a long breath, smiling. "I got information that Red Sting chose to run when a group of people attacked their base. That group is most likely a stronger and tougher group than Red Sting. If that group attacked the three bases while Red Sting's members were there, they most likely wiped out all of Red Sting's members."The other three rogue leaders were shocked. "That group slaughtered Red Sting members at their base?" A tiger-tattooed gang leader burst out laughing. "If the news is true, didn't that group help u
Draco's troops rushed around, running past the punks lying on the floor, attacking the punks. Sonic and the two ringleaders watched the situation, attacking Draco who remained standing where he was. "That trashy guy is the leader of this group. He looks tough," Sonic said.Draco jumped back, dodging attacks from the tattooed punk and the long punk. He yawned a few times, deflecting punches and knife attacks with ease."Asshole! He underestimated me," said the tiger-tattooed punk. Sonic attacked from behind Draco. He was stunned when Draco blocked his kick with his left hand without turning around and glancing at him. "Shit!"Draco grabbed Sonic's leg firmly, then threw Sonic at the other two gang leaders to the ground. He instantly jumped back when a shot was fired at him. The bespectacled punk fired as he moved quickly, kicking anything at Draco. Sonic and the other two punks moved away. At the same time, Draco's troops had already defeated the punks. "They're probably the ones
Ronny lay unconscious on the floor. The knife fell out of his hand. Ali and the bodyguards emerged from their hiding place. Ali observed Ronny, looking upstairs. "Find out who this punk is as soon as possible. He doesn't seem to be an ordinary punk.""We understand." The bodyguards nodded. Ali turned on the electricity, glancing at the guards examining Ronny. "This man is Ronny, the leader of a group of punks called Red Sting," a guard said as he sent information to Ali. Ali checked Ronny's information on the hologram screen linked to his watch, reading quickly. The bodyguard named Sammy continued, "This man is the one who fought me when I posed as Young Master at the villa in the middle of the forest the other day, sir. He attacked with his friends on the orders of Kevin and his friends." Another bodyguard added, "This town's ringleader, Sonic, is Ronny's sworn enemy. According to rumors, a group attacked Red Sting at their headquarters. Ronny has a wound on his left shoulder.
Ronny fingered his clothes, observing the piles of vegetable and fruit boxes around him. "Damn it! Someone stole my phone!"Ronny tugged at his hair, silent as he recalled the incident at the restaurant. "I really shouldn't be in Paulcity for long. Sonic and his underlings might realize my existence. I'll hide out in Sawatown until I get a message from Dad."Ronny gasped in surprise when he noticed the presence of a man at the end of the tailgate. "Asshole! Who the hell are you? Are you the one who took me away from Paulcity?"Ronny snorted in annoyance. "You have to answer my question, asshole!"A bodyguard showed Ronny a cell phone. "You son of a bitch! You're the one who stole my cell phone!" Ronny kicked a vegetable box, darting forward. The bodyguard kicked the box so hard that Ronny was pushed and collapsed. "Damn, his kick is so strong and fast. He's probably the guy who beat me at the restaurant." Ronny scrambled to his feet, but the bodyguard moved so fast that he was in f
"Shouldn't I be ready, Dad?" Althon felt very happy because all his dreams had been achieved. He went through a lot of hard things to get to where he is now. Althon, Arthur, and Adele left the room and walked down the stairs. They met Anthony, Abraham, and Adam in the main room. "Do you have a girlfriend yet, Althon?" Adele asked. Althon suddenly looked down, embarrassed. "I haven't thought about that right now, Mom. I'm going to focus on my work right now." "You look marvelous, Althon." Anthony smiled. "I'm so proud of you." Meanwhile, Lily checked her appearance, letting out a long breath. "I must not disappoint Master." "Are you ready, Lily?" asked Linda as she stood up from the sofa, checking Lily's appearance. "You are very charming today." "We didn't expect Master Arthur Leander's son to call you to the main office today. We finally got to meet him and his son today," said Lily's father. "I will do my best." James smoothed Alvin's appearance. "I really didn't expect
"Congratulations on your win, Arthur." Arnold laughed. "You always win at everything. You were born to be a winner.""Dad," murmured Alex, Alexa, and Albert. Aaron and Andy looked the other way.Anthony let out a long breath, looking at his three sons with tears in his eyes. "I'm the one at fault in all of this. I was wrong to show you my affection. Envy and hatred have driven you to do bad things."Anthony paused for a moment. "As a father, I feel that I have failed. I failed to be the mediator between you all. I also failed to be sensitive and firm.""Even so, none of that will change anything. You will be punished for all your evil deeds."Alex, Alexa, Albert, Andrew, Aldhen, Alfie, and Ana fell silent. "I will still give Arthur heir status according to my previous decision. I consider him to be the most worthy." "As punishment for your mistakes, ninety percent of your wealth will be given to Arthur. The rest will be given to your family. The elite estate you built will remain t
Anthony cried even harder. He ignored his weakened body. "Where is Arthur? I want to see him now. I need to apologize to him.""Grandpa." Althon hugged and calmed Anthony. "Everything is fine now, Grandpa. You don't have to worry about anything anymore.""What do you mean, Arthur? Where is your father now?"Althon released the hug, letting out a long breath. "Dad is chasing those three guys right now.""What?" Anthony held his breath, staring at Abraham. "They must be punished for their wrongdoings. I will no longer defend or protect them."Anthony closed his eyes, letting the tears fall. "I should have punished them when I knew they were the masterminds behind the crimes all those years ago. They deserved the punishment."Arnold, Aaron, and Andy rushed to safety. Unfortunately, Arthur's troops intercepted them from various places. "You bastards!" screamed Arnold, clenching his fists tightly. He saw ships approaching the bridge. When he looked up into the sky, helicopters were swarmi
A shot from Arnold set off the drums of war. Ali and the bodyguards immediately protected Althon from gunfire. Unfortunately, some of the bodyguards were shot and almost fell. The tense atmosphere turned into chaos as gunshots rang out everywhere. The two camps were instantly at war with each other. Leander's family members were shocked, rushing to follow the directions of their bodyguards. "Don't let him escape," Althon said, stinging as his shoulder hit the floor hard.Arnold grunted in annoyance, signaling his guards to leave immediately. He watched Arthur and Althon, who were in the custody of the guards. "Damn it! It's hard enough for me to finish them off now. I better get out of this damn place as soon as possible! I can get back to organizing the plan.""Dad!" Alex shouted when he saw the guards carrying Arnold out of the room. "Oh, my God! Why did all this have to happen?" Alexa screamed as she covered her ears. "Get me out of here right now! I don't want to be here!" A
"Who was that guy yelling just now?" asked Arnold as he observed two figures similar to Adam near Althon and Abraham. "You bastard! Which one of them is the real Adam? Are they both fakes?""Then, what was that screaming sound just now?" Arnold stiffened in place, staring at his hands that were shaking violently. His eyes opened very wide. "The voice is very similar to Arthur? Could he be ....""Where is he?" Arnold surveyed the surroundings, ignoring the tension. "Could it be Arthur?"Fear showed on Arnold's face. Sweat began to drip from his forehead. He seemed to hear Arthur's screams from all directions, but he didn't see his brother. Arnold stared at Adam's figure on the stage, clenching his fists tightly. "That guy is Arthur."Aaron and Andy felt the same fear and tension. They recognized the sound of the shout."Adam." Aaron and Andy were surprised to see two Adam's in two different places."Two Adam's?" muttered Alex as he realized the strangeness of what was happening. He ob
Althon smiled, glancing back briefly, feeling immensely relieved. "Without their help, I wouldn't have been able to do all this. I need to thank them, especially Uncle Adam.""You can't just trust that stranger, Uncle, Aunt," Arnold said with emphasis. "He's just someone trying to ruin this event and sabotage my position as heir. How can you trust him so easily?"Abraham stood up from his wheelchair, taking a deep breath before speaking. "Anthony has told me the whole truth. That man is indeed Arthur's son. He arrived at this house about four months ago."Abraham stared sharply at Arnold, Aaron, and Andy. "Anthony also told me about your crimes against Arthur, Adele, and Althon. You even planned to murder Anthony, your own father. Your actions are unforgivable and must be met with severe punishment.""No!" Arnold shouted, shaking his head. "I won't stand for this humiliation! I have never been involved in any crime, let alone planning to kill my own father! Stop this nonsense right no
The evidence of Arnold, Aaron, and Andy's crimes continued to appear on the screen. Everyone could clearly see the photos and videos, making the atmosphere increasingly chaotic.Arnold, Aaron, and Andy remained where they stood, but their position became increasingly cornered as their relatives stared at them with disdain and suspicion. Seeing Abraham, Arka, and Anita's reactions, they could confirm that those three had collaborated with Althon to disrupt the event.Arnold, Aaron, and Andy had anticipated that Althon or Arthur might show up and cause trouble during the event. However, they hadn't expected Abraham, Arka, and Anita to uncover their crimes."All these videos and photos are fake! That bastard just wants to ruin this event! Guards, get that trash out of here right now!" Arnold shouted while pointing at Althon.Aaron screamed, "That trash is just pretending to be Arthur's son! He's nothing but a liar! Don't believe a word he says!""Someone drag that trash out of here immed
"Stop this!" shouted Althon in all earnestness. He glared at Arnold, who was about to receive the sword in his hand. Almost all of the Leander family members were startled, turning their heads to the armed men entering the room. The rain that had been pouring down suddenly stopped. Althon continued to walk amidst the armed troops. He saw Arnold, Aaron, and Andy's men begin to stand at attention, pointing guns at him and his men."What?" Arnold instantly turned his head, glaring. "What's going on? Who are they? How did they get in and escape the guard?"Arnold clenched his fists tightly. "Could he be... Arthur?"Aaron and Andy were also very surprised. Glancing at each other, they signalled their troops to be on full alert. "Who was that guy yelling earlier?" asked Alex as he scanned the approaching troops. "You bastard! Is it possible that what Dad're afraid of really happened?""You mean Uncle Arthur is coming?" Alexa looked terrified. "You bastard!" Albert stood up from the chai
Anthony was still unconscious until now. Arnold, Aaron, Andy, and their families visited the man before the event started. Doctors said Anthony's condition had started to improve. Unfortunately, he was unable to attend the event. Arnold watched Anthony closely. He grasped his father's hand tightly, smiling. "I won't let you down, Dad. I promise."Aaron and Andy looked sarcastically at Arnold, holding back their annoyance. Abraham said as he stroked Anthony's hair, "According to family rules, Anthony was supposed to preside over your inauguration as the family heir. However, due to Anthony's still unconscious condition and to avoid any untoward events, the task falls to me now. I hope you don't mind, Arnold.""I completely understand, Uncle." Arnold turned to Arka and Anita. "You're the perfect person to take Dad's place. Uncle Arka and Aunt Anita have also agreed to this. I'm also sure Dad won't mind. If one day he regains consciousness and recovers, we can hold another inauguration
