Taka said nothing as he walked towards the house. He occasionally glanced at Adam and Aram, acting calm. Adam surveyed the house. It was neither too big nor too small, neither too fancy nor too ordinary.Adam paused at the door, letting out a long breath. He entered the house after Taka opened the door. The house was quiet, the ticking of a clock in the middle of the silence. Adam surveyed the room. “I don't see any photos there. Is this Taka's house? I'm guessing he wanted to give us a clue as to Arthur's whereabouts.”Adam clenched his fists tightly. “I sent troops to spy on Arnold, Aaron, and Andy. They sent troops to look for Arthur's confidants. I understand why Taka is acting so cautiously. He didn't want to create conflict between me and Arnold, Aaron, and Andy. However, I'm still annoyed with Taka.”“Follow me, sir. Unfortunately, your subordinates are not following us. I will guarantee your safety,” Taka said as he walked towards the stairs. Adam was silent for a moment, g
Arnold was busy checking documents. He occasionally glanced at the window, making sure the shooting did not happen again. He became panicked and frightened whenever he heard any sound from the window. Arnold received a call from his subordinate, remaining focused on the laptop screen. “What do you want from me?”“I want to relay important information, sir. My troops managed to capture some people who were subordinates of one of the late Mr. Arthur's confidants. They said that a few days ago a group of people came to the building looking for their boss. That group is most likely Master Anthony's troops looking for the late Mr. Arthur's confidants.”Arnold glared, scrambling to his feet. He grunted in annoyance as his feet suddenly stepped towards the window. “Did your troops manage to capture Arthur's confidants?”“My troops are still pursuing them, sir.”“You bastard! Don't irritate me with your stupid performance! I want to hear the news about the capture of Arthur's confidants as s
All candidates gathered in the main room five minutes later. Although they had to endure sleepiness, they were happy that the exam started immediately. They were already getting tired of being in this place. Eric and his bodyguards were already in the main room, observing all the candidates. "I know you are the ones who deserve to be in the final eight. I'm going to give you a bit of an idea. Although many of you will fail to become the CEO of Star Company, you have a great opportunity to work with the Leander family in the future. I hope what I just said doesn't make you feel inferior and give up."The candidates nodded."I'll tell you about the fifth exam." Eric signaled a subordinate. A man held a glass bowl with many balls in it."You must pick up one ball in the glass bowl. Once you open that ball, your test will begin. However, you can only open the ball in the morning. If you violate this, you will be disqualified immediately.""When you open the ball, I'll know right away." E
"They're on their way to this place, Master," Alan replied. Adam instantly refrained from shouting. Remembering what Arnold, Aaron, and Andy had done to Arthur, his family, and Anthony made him furious. "Those three monsters should be punished immediately. I'm so sick of just hearing their names," he muttered. "Grandpa!" shouted Austin and Alice when they saw Abraham suddenly sway. They immediately restrained their grandfather's body swiftly. "I think I need to rest for a while." Abraham laughed, suddenly unconscious afterward.Adam immediately laid Abraham down on the bed. Several doctors soon entered the room to check the man's condition. Adam, Austin, and Alice looked worried. "Dad is pushing himself too hard. He was so worried about Uncle Anthony that he didn't care about his condition," Adam said.Adam, Austin, and Alice left and gathered in the main room. They were silent for a long time, looking worried. "I want to take a little walk. Can you guys look after Dad for me?" A
The candidates arrived at the venue almost simultaneously. They immediately took the second exam as best they could. They were still guessing what would happen next, considering they had previously been on a foreign island. Althon worked as well as he could, even though he was worried about Anthony again. The nightmare kept haunting him. He would never forgive himself if Anthony died before seeing him destroy his three uncles. Althon let out a long breath when he accidentally dropped a glass. He pondered for a while, clenching his fists tightly. "Grandpa promised to see me claim my rights and my father's rights as heir. He will not break his promise."The rain poured down heavily, followed by thunderous lightning and a strong wind. Arthur watched the raindrops on the window, turning his head as Adele entered the room. He suddenly worried about Anthony, and his worry grew even more when Taka sent him a message."You seem very tense right now. Has something happened?" asked Adele as
Anthony was stunned for some time, watching the ceiling of the room. He suddenly burst into tears, and his body shook violently. At the same time, Abraham was silent but shared his deep sadness. "Anthony," Abraham murmured as he stroked his brother's hand. Anthony wiped away the tears, taking a deep breath. He paused to decide whether he should tell Abraham or not. When he turned to his brother, he could see a deep sincerity. "Althon... is indeed back. Alan and his guards found him a few months ago in Asthonia. He's had a very hard life alone all this time." Anthony was silent as the tears continued to fall. Anthony paused for a moment. "Althon is running errands for me right now. I don't want my three sons to know about his current whereabouts. I'm afraid they'll harm him like they harmed Arthur.""What do you mean, Anthony? They harmed Arthur?" Abraham was shocked. Anthony burst into tears, bracing himself to stay conscious. "My three sons have slandered Arthur because they are
The candidates arrived at the third location almost at the same time. After resting for some time, they immediately started the third exam. They were given the same tasks as in the first and second exams.Eric said, "You only have half an hour to complete the third exam. You have to make sure that you do your job well. All your actions will be included in the grading points." The candidates know that this exam aims to measure how well they can withstand tremendous pressure while staying focused on their Star Company CEO duties. As a large company, Star Company needed a smart and tough leader. Althon fought as hard as he could to complete the task. Some employees of Star Company's subsidiaries did not know that he owned Star Company. He wanted to measure how far his skills had developed so that it would benefit him. The rain was pouring down heavily, followed by a strong wind. The candidates tried to focus on their tasks. Time seemed to be moving very fast. Candidates must avoid ma
Arnold, Aaron, and Andy stared at each other sharply, hurrying to leave the courtyard. The tense atmosphere turned very quiet. The rain poured down heavily shortly after, followed by a strong wind. Arnold, Aaron, and Andy entered the house. They saw Adam with his back to them, blocking the way. "When was the last time you made a pilgrimage to Arthur's grave?" Adam turned around, acting as normal as possible despite his anger. "About a month ago," Arnold replied. "I know you were very close to Arthur, Adam. I'd happily drive you to Arthur's meal if the weather is fine. You can visit Arthur's room with my father's permission."Aaron and Andy looked at Arnold sharply. "You're right." Adam massaged his dizzy head. "I'll talk to Uncle Anthony once he's better.""You don't have to, Adam. I'll talk to my father. It would help if you rested now. You look exhausted.""Yes, you're right, Arnold." Adam left Arnold, Aaron, and Andy. He glanced at his three cousins, snorting in annoyance. "Fuc
