"This is our first breakfast as a family." Althon could not hide his happy face at this moment. He could not express his happiness in words. He had lived a very hard and solitary life so far, but his dream was to be together with his parents as a family. "We feel the same way, Althon. We always prayed that one day you would return and we could be together as a family. Today is the day when all our prayers are answered," said Adele. Adele gave Althon a few pieces of meat. "You must eat well, Althon. I cooked this meal for you.""I will certainly eat it heartily."Althon called Ali after breakfast was over. He knew Ali was keeping secrets from him. Ali entered the room, bowing. "You've grown into a fine man, Ali. I last saw you when you were five years old. You made good on your promise to me," Arthur said. Althon wiped his mouth with a tissue. "Ali, I want to know how Grandpa is doing now. I hope you're not lying to me.""I regret that I had to lie to you, Young Master. I did it
"Althon," murmured Lily, observing the tall man before her. "Is that man Althon?"Linda smiled in surprise, not expecting to meet Althon today. She was still irritated by the mysterious disappearance of his photos, paintings, and even his voice recordings on her phone.Althon removed his mask. "I didn't expect to see you at this restaurant, Linda. How have you been?""I'm fine. I'm on vacation with my sister now. You're welcome to join us.""I don't want to intrude on your vacation. I need to leave after picking up a few things here," Althon said, glancing briefly at Lily before heading to the cashier.Lily fell silent, watching Althon closely."Lily, why are you suddenly silent? Do you need a new drink? I can order one for you." Linda tucked her phone into her bag.Linda glanced at Althon, who was waiting in line with other customers. "Do you have an issue with Althon?"Lily shook her head, going back to her fried chicken. "No, I just met him now. I'm just surprised you invited him t
Philip was still in the room, pensively remembering everything that had happened to him over the past week. Philip suddenly collapsed, staring blankly at the ceiling. He closed his eyes tightly for a few seconds, composing himself. When he opened his eyes, the man suddenly burst out laughing. "None of this was a dream. Asghar is neither an ordinary person nor a subordinate of Mr. Paul. He's Mr. Paul's boss. This is truly amazing."Philip rushed to his feet, clenched his fists tightly, staring intently as if he were in front of his father and siblings. "Master Althon has given me a chance. I will not waste this opportunity. Prepare to receive your retribution, Dad."Eric entered the room. "Come with me, Philip. I will take you to the company that Young Master mentioned earlier. Make sure you don't let him down.""I promise I won't let him down, sir."Philip scanned the bustling city center, staring intently at a building near the park. "You don't consider me your son because of my fa
Lily took a deep breath, trying to control herself from what had just happened. "What exactly happened just now? Is he Asghar in disguise? Althon is Lord Anthony's grandson?"Lily sat up in the chair slowly, surveying the rows of documents and reports on her desk. The events of the past few minutes still lingered strongly in her mind. "I still think the events just now were a dream, but I feel very aware now."Lily laughed as she recalled Linda's actions to reveal Althon's identity. "I feel bad for Linda, but I couldn't possibly tell her Althon's identity."Lily took a deep breath, exhaling slowly. "I have to get back to work. I have an important job right now."Althon entered the car, watching the building begin to shrink from his view. "I've got Agnes, Alvin, Philip, and Lily. They are competent people who will take care of my future companies. I've also gotten Brody, who will be one of my bodyguards. Who should I recruit next?" Althon smiled widely as he came up with an idea.The
Alvin immediately fell silent. "You want to stay with your friends, don't you?" Althon smiled. "You have one minute to give me a name, Alvin."Alvin looked down, clenching his fists tightly. Time was ticking, but he was still at a loss as to which of his friends he would choose. Althon watched the cityscape from the window, glancing at Alvin. "You made me wait so long when you only had to say one name.""I'm sorry, Master. I didn't mean to keep you waiting." Alvin looked down, taking a deep breath. "I choose Kevin."Althon immediately faced Alvin. "I was expecting you to choose Kevin. Did you choose him because Kevin is your close friend, or did you choose him because Kevin is serving the same sentence as you?""Yes, Master.""Well, you may leave this room to get ready to go to my company. You must keep my identity a secret from everyone, including your family. One more thing, you may enjoy all these dishes. I have already paid for it.""I understand, Master."Althon left the room,
Arnold smiled broadly, entering the car. He recalled his encounter with first son Sean Ruild a few minutes ago as the vehicle left the gate. “You may be very loyal to my father, but your son has no greater loyalty than you, Sean. He chooses to be my subordinate now.”Arnold laughed, observing the house getting smaller with time and distance. His smile suddenly vanished, replaced with anger and resentment.“I already knew that Dad sent troops to search for the whereabouts of Arthur's confidants, but I just found out that you also sent troops to search for the whereabouts of Arthur and his family.”Arnold clenched his fists tightly, hitting the windshield very hard. He felt his heart beating very fast. His whole body trembled at the thought of Arthur and his family returning and taking everything he had gained.“Dad still believes that Arthur and his family are still alive today. He hopes to get information from Arthur's confidants about the whereabouts of Arthur and his family.”“I ca
Kevin hurriedly left the company, scanning the towering skyscrapers. He closes his eyes and is instantly reminded of the events of a few minutes ago.Kevin leaned back in his chair, letting out a long breath. "You idiot, I've been bullying the wrong person. If Althon wanted to, he could have easily finished me off and destroyed my family. But instead, he allowed me to manage his company."Kevin sat pensively for some time, observing the city center's scenery. Then he suddenly shook his head, massaging his dizzy head."No! Althon didn't give me a chance; he sentenced me to a life sentence. Even my descendants must accept that punishment. I and all my descendants are trapped by him and his descendants."Kevin laughed suddenly. "He's very cunning."Althon left the building a few minutes later. He spent time at some tourist attractions, wanting to really enjoy the vacation so that he could focus on training later. Meanwhile, Arnold had just arrived home. Armed guards stood guard around t
Randy, Ronald, and Max arrived in front of the cafe. They observed a skyscraper towering proudly in front of them. "How can we meet up with Alvin and Kevin now?" asked Max as he glanced at the gate. "They must be very busy with their work. They're not even replying to our messages or receiving our calls.""I wish we could meet Alvin and Kevin," Ronald said. "Isn't that Noah?" Randy pointed at Noah, who had just come out of the gate. "We can ask him now. I'm sure he can get our message to Alvin.""You're right." Ronald and Max nodded. Randy, Ronald, and Max rushed over to Noah. Noah was surprised to see the three men approaching him. He looked around and asked, "What do you want from me?"Randy, Ronald, and Max were surprised to see Noah, who appeared to be a janitor. They looked at each other, remembering the clothes Alvin had worn at the meeting the other day. Noah looked down, clenching his fists tightly. "I-I have to go right now.""Noah, wait!" Randy held Noah's hand. "We cam
