Reno entered the room, bowing respectfully to an old man sitting on a sofa. “I came according to your orders, Boss.” “You came sooner than I expected, Reno,” said the white-haired man as he got up from the sofa, and walked towards the window. He scanned the courtyard and forest intently, clenching his fists tightly. “The two groups looking for me are getting closer by the moment. They're moving faster than I expected.” The old man turned around, facing Reno. “The group that slaughtered Red Sting is a subordinate of the people who already killed my friends, and the other group is a group that I still don't know about.” “I've mobilized my men to search for the identity of that group, Boss. However, my subordinates haven't gotten any information yet,” Reno said. “They are no ordinary group.” The old man let out a long breath. Reno pondered as he watched his boss fall silent. He often saw the man's expression of fear and worry these days. “I've ordered Ronny and the others to gathe
The week went by very quickly. Tarung Restaurant was ranked among the top ten favorite restaurants by Paulcity residents. Customers come to eat their favorite food and participate in the arm wrestling championship. Althon worked very hard to improve his restaurant. He uses all his knowledge and experience. He has a great responsibility to regain his right and his father's right to be the successor of the Leander family. Althon often saw the success of his other cousins. He didn't deny that he was angry and resentful that they were living a much better life than he had been. However, Althon realized that everything has its time and reason. This restaurant was his first step towards becoming an heir to the Leander family. He would not be outdone by his cousins. The restaurant was hectic on the weekends. The staff were busy preparing food and serving customers. The diners crowded around the fighting arena. Brody sat on the throne as the restaurant's arm wrestling king while sev
“I truly regret my behavior. I will accept the consequences of my negligence.” The female employee bowed. The employees left a few minutes later. A doctor examined Brody. “You can go home now, Rudy,” Althon said. “I'm worried about Brody, boss. He looks in pain, especially since he has to fight in the final match tomorrow.” Rudy acted worried. “Brody will be fine. He's not some spoiled brat who will die from a little push from a trolley,” Althon said. “I can replace Brody if you let me.” Rudy smiled. Althon paused. “You don't have to, Rudy. The challengers want to see Brody. The customers will get mad if you suddenly take his place. The image of this restaurant could change in the eyes of the customers.”“You're right, boss.” Rudy left the restaurant, smiling fiercely. “I knew that punk wouldn't allow me to replace Brody.”Rudy stopped walking when he saw an ambulance pull up in front of the restaurant. He saw Althon carrying Brody to the ambulance. “That punk should get treatme
The hospital was quiet tonight. The gang rushed into the building, disguised as visitors. They moved according to Rudy's instructions. Rudy was in front of Brody's room, posing as a visitor. He smiled, rushing to hide behind the wall. Rudy contacted the punk. “That punk is sleeping right now. There's no one to guard him. Do your job well.”Rudy ended the call, watching the surroundings, and pretending to call someone. “That punk named Althon brought Brody to this small hospital. He hurried away after the doctor checked Brody's condition. He seems to be worried about someone stealing and destroying the restaurant.”“Those punks should be careful if they want to kidnap and hurt Brody.” Rudy chuckled, turning his head toward the stairs. “Where are those damn punks? Why are they so slow? If they don't come within three minutes, I'll... they come.”Five punks appeared from the direction of the stairs, walking towards Brody's room. “I heard those punks are punks who haven't been defeated
Randy instantly snarled at the car, grunting in annoyance. “What did Alicia do?”“You crazy woman!” snapped Ronald as he opened the windshield. “Alicia, move away now before we run you over!”“I'm sure Alicia wants to go with us to see Alvin. She's frustrated that we didn't tell her Alvin's location,” said Max. “Alicia doesn't learn from her mistakes!” Randy pressed the horn repeatedly. Alicia spread her arms wide, glaring. “I won't move until you tell me Alvin's address! I'll run myself into a car if you run away!”“What should we do?” asked Max, ”Alicia is a very stubborn woman. She'll act recklessly if we don't give in to her wishes.”Randy snorted in annoyance. “How did that damn woman get into my house? I warned the guards not to let her in.”Randy got a call from the head of security. “You son of a bitch! How did Alicia get into my house?”“Alicia sent some punks to pretend to burglarize your house, boss. She also ordered someone to hack into the security system. She snuck in
“I never stole anything, Boss! Please believe me!” Marry burst into tears, watching the other employees sneer and stare at her sarcastically. “You should leave this restaurant immediately, Marry. You're going to give this restaurant a bad name. The customers certainly don't want to be served by a thief,” Tessa said sarcastically.Rudy replied, “The CCTV evidence shows you put the restaurant's goods into your bag. We all saw the items in your bag too. You can't dodge it anymore, Marry.”Another employee said, “The boss gave you a chance to work in this restaurant, but you squandered it by stealing some stuff.”Althon took a deep breath. “Get out of this restaurant right now, Marry! I don't want to see you again!”“Please believe me, Boss,” Mary said as she wiped away tears.Althon ignored Marry. Mary picked up the bag on the floor. She took a deep breath and looked at Tessa, Rudy, and all the employees. “I'm not a thief. I've never stolen anything!”“Tessa!” Mary pointed at Tessa. “I
“Didn't you realize those two punks hired some guards?” asked Ton as he scanned the crowd behind the restaurant. He was surprised when some of the people who had been watching him earlier disappeared. “Who are you talking about, Ton?” Res asked again, curious. The other restaurant owners looked at each other, scanning the crowd. “Those punks know that we're working together to destroy their restaurant. They certainly didn't stay silent. Every time we're in this place to observe the restaurant, I feel like some people are watching me. I wonder if those two punks hired some people to guard the restaurant,” Ton explained.“But, didn't these city punks manage to rob the restaurant of its goods last night and almost set the restaurant on fire? Didn't Tessa send them?”“I don't know, I feel the theft was a lie. That punk named Althon couldn't have been that stupid to leave the restaurant unguarded. I suspect he's... just faking it so the restaurant can experience a theft.”Ton let out a
Everyone was shocked, especially Rudy, Tessa, Ton's subordinates, and the restaurant owners. Brody suddenly appeared in the crowd as everyone waited for him and accused him of running away. Althon smiled as the atmosphere became eerily quiet. He saw the shock on everyone's faces. “I'll give them time to finish their shock,” he muttered. Brody smiled, facing all the customers. “Who are you calling a coward? Who's running away from the game?” Brody chuckled, glaring at the challenger. “You son of a bitch! My ears burn every time I hear your sneers and insults at me! I'm desperately trying to keep my cover.” Brody stretched, jumping up and down. “I'm ready to fight and defend my title.” The crowd suddenly erupted in applause and cheers. Rudy and Tessa barely blinked at the sight of Brody, as did Ton's messengers and the restaurant owners. Brody looked at the six people who had provoked the crowd. He turned to the challenger who was still silent. “Why are you still silent?
"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
