Arnold, Aaron, and Andy walked down a hallway, passing by the servants who bowed respectfully to them. They looked happy after hearing the good news from Tonny Romildo."We should have done this a long time ago," Aaron said. Andy replied. "You're right, Aaron."Arnold clenched his fists tightly, smiling as he saw a room. "Don't get too excited just because our plans are going well. Instead, we should be worried and vigilant. We could be destroyed just because of a small mistake." Aaron and Andy glanced at each other. Two servants immediately opened the door. Arnold, Aaron, and Andy entered the room. Tonny Romildo and the three island leaders bowed until the three men sat on the sofa. "I am so happy to see you in this room." Arnold took a glass of tea from the tray, signaling the waiter to leave the room. Arnold sipped the tea slowly. "You did very well, Tonny. I didn't expect those three to follow your trail so soon."Tonny Romildo turned to the three island leaders briefly, smil
The rain has been pouring down heavily on Paulcity. Pedestrians were seen running around, seeking shelter. Vehicles were auctioned off on the streets. Nevertheless, Tarung restaurant was getting busier by the hour. The workers were busy serving customers."Ah, you bastard! That guy almost beat me. They're interested in bonuses and new prizes," Brody said as he stretched, gulping down his drink. He sat on the couch, examining his wound. Althon scanned the job applicant information on his laptop. "Damn it! You're ignoring me," Brody snapped. "I thought you were talking to yourself, Brody.""I'm not crazy!" Brody leaned closer, scanning the laptop. "Thirty people applied to work at this restaurant. Isn't this great news?""I have to choose six new workers who are suitable to work in my restaurant."Brody chuckled. "You're paying them a small salary.""The part-time salary at this restaurant is in line with the part-time salary in this city. I even added some bonuses to them.""You are
"What do you think of our plan, Ton?" asked one of the restaurant owners, "I deliberately faked my son's identity so two bastards wouldn't get suspicious. Besides, my son is not likely to betray like that damn woman.""I think that's a good plan. I like it." Ton smiled, but he suddenly fell silent. "What's going on, Ton? Why are you suddenly silent? Do you not like our plan, or have you changed your mind about cooperating with us? Tell us."The company owners looked at each other. "I like your plan. It's just that I somehow thought those two punks would be suspicious until they found out about this plan. They're not as stupid as we thought." Ton sat down on the sofa. "I was at the restaurant when it happened yesterday. I thought your plan would work, but those punks managed to turn the tables. You guys were backed into a corner and lost while those two punks won with strong evidence.""Do you have a better plan, Ton? We know you hate those punks with a passion."Ton stood up. "I cer
“How did Alicia suddenly appear in this cafe?” asked Ronald as he watched Alicia disappear after exiting the cafe. “She's like a ghost in the movies.”“What a crazy woman! Alicia almost dropped my new cell phone!” Max checked his cell phone. “She's acting up more and more from time to time.”Randy gritted his teeth, pounding on the table to get everyone's attention. He ignored everyone's attention, rushing after Alicia. “Randy!” Ronald and Max shouted as they gave chase. “Alicia, wait!” Randy held Alicia's shoulders as she was about to enter the car. “What are you planning to do?”Alicia swatted away Randy's hand. “Don't touch me! What do you want?”“I'm the one who should be asking you that, Alicia.”Ronald and Max approached. They stared at each other for a moment and looked at Alicia's dislike.“Why did you suddenly show up and grab Max's cell phone? You're being disrespectful.” Randy clenched his fists tightly. Alicia rolled her eyes, looking the other way. “Come on, Randy. I k
Althon closed the restaurant, letting out a long breath. “It's been a long day. However, I'm glad that the number of customers is increasing. They're also posting positive reviews on social media.”Althon peered outside through the window. “The city is pretty quiet. The punks aren't seen much either.”“Sonic left with most of his troops outside the city. Only a few punks are left in the city.” Brody yawned a few times, sat on the chair, and stretched. “I heard some punks left Paulcity to go to other cities.”“Isn't this situation perfect for us?” Althon closed the curtains, sat on the sofa, and opened his laptop. “Those punks aren't bothering us and the community anymore.” Brody yawned again, leaning against the table. “However, this isn't good enough for Sonic and the remaining punks. Sonic might lose Paulcity if he doesn't return soon. There's bound to be competition amongst the gang for Paulcity.”Althon was taken aback. “You're right, Brody. Another group of punks will likely att
"One of our guys has been watching this building for the past two days, Boss. They've been on guard since then," said Ryan's subordinate.Ryan surveyed the surroundings. He noticed several men stationed in the yard and at various other points. "You need to ensure this building stays secure during the meeting.""We understand." Ryan's subordinate nodded, following Ryan.Ryan entered a room and walked toward the window. He observed the view of the yard and the skyscrapers in the city center. His fist clenched as he remembered the fate of his subordinates after the massacre by a foreign group."Those bastards! They slaughtered my men without hesitation. If only the boss hadn't ordered me to retreat, I would've faced them." Ryan tapped the window. "But could I have defeated those people?"Ryan sat down on the sofa. "I've watched their fighting skills and abilities. They're not just ordinary thugs. They're highly trained. Boss Reno said those people are from the group that wiped out his old
Ryan surveyed the situation intently, gripping the window firmly. “I didn't see anyone, except my subordinates. However, my gut feeling tells me that someone is watching me.”Ryan chuckled, hurrying to contact someone. “Is there anything suspicious outside?”Ryan hurriedly hung up the call after hearing his subordinate's reply. He walked to the balcony, staying there for some time. “There is nothing suspicious. My subordinates would never lie. They're not fools either. I only heard about the two punks who were following Ronny. The guards have already defeated them.”Ryan let out a long breath, returning to the room. He sat on the sofa feeling uneasy. “My hunch can't be wrong. These city punks wouldn't be so reckless as to attack me and my troops unless they wanted to die.”“Should I cancel this meeting?” Ryan pondered, hurrying to contact his subordinates. “I'll start the meeting now. Tell those ebrats to prepare immediately.”Ryan exited the room, walking in the hallway, and down the
“You bastard!”Ryan ordered the guards who were hiding to chase after the masked man. He stopped running, watching the surroundings, observing his subordinates moving so fast towards the forest.“Damn it! He's so fast and strong!” Ryan wiped the sweat from his forehead. “What exactly is he planning? He suddenly appeared, attacked me, and ran away just like that. He doesn't seem to have any intention of finishing me off.”Ryan was shocked when he realized something. “My cell phone is missing.”Ryan checked his jacket and pants pockets. He ran towards the building, surveying the location of his fight with the masked man. “What an asshole! He was aiming to steal my phone to get the location of Boss Reno.”“Give me your cell phone now,” Ryan said to one of his subordinates. He immediately sent a message to Reno as soon as possible. Ryan ran out of the building, waiting in the courtyard. “Damn! That masked man pissed me off so much!”Ryan's subordinates came out from behind the trees. “Di
"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
