"You son of a bitch! Didn't you see the big tree trunk blocking our way?" Alvin shouted as he looked back. He was surprised to see Althon sitting on top of the car. "Althon."Everyone turned to Althon. "I'm sure you guys didn't mean to leave me earlier, right?" Althon asked. "You shouldn't have jumped out of the car if you didn't want us to leave you, Althon," Kevin snapped. Alicia rolled her eyes. "You should have stayed in the forest, Althon. You're making a big mess of things.""Hey, we should get out of the forest right now. I don't want to be in this creepy forest any longer." Melissa hugged Alicia tightly, closing her eyes. "I know you threw that tree trunk, Althon. You have to take it back," Alvin said."What if I refuse? What will you do? Will you leave me alone in this forest again?" Althon laughed. "I can get back to the hotel easily by remembering the way. However, I doubt you guys can do it.""What an asshole!" Alvin stood up, but Althon pushed him until he fell agains
Kevin and Randy turned to Alvin. They didn't recognize these people and heard Alvin's new plan. "W-we need to leave this place immediately," Alvin said. "We should call the guards!" Melissa shouted. "I don't want to be in this place anymore, let alone meet the bad guys!"Alicia looked panicked, whispering in Alvin's ear. "Are you acting right now, Alvin? I think this has gone too far.""I don't know them, Alicia." Alvin wiped his face, shaking off the rain. He suddenly smiled. "They're probably Mr. Ryan's men. He wants to make this game more fun.""We should get out of here right now. We can take shelter in that cave!" Randy pointed to the left side of the forest."Gosh, I have to run in the middle of the night, and this pouring rain?" Melissa snorted in annoyance. "I told you this plan was too dangerous, but you didn't listen.""Shut up, Melissa." Alicia rolled her eyes. "They must be Mr. Ryan's men. They won't hurt us."Althon observed the six men who kept approaching. He suspecte
“Young Master.” Alan approached with some bodyguards. “Are you alright?”“Yes, I'm fine.” Althon saw some guards tying up the punks. “They suddenly showed up and caused a scene. I want you to find out how they entered Mande Island. I don't want this accident to ruin Mande Island's image as the best vacation spot.”“I understand, Young Master.” Alan contacted someone. “I've already contacted the person in charge of Mande Island. He will inform us as soon as possible.”“You should immediately return to the hotel and get treatment from the doctor, Young Master.” Alan bowed. “I'm sorry that you had such a bad experience.”“I asked you to stay away from me during this game. You're just doing my job.” Althon looked at the knife on the ground. He smiled as he came up with a plan. “Alan, I have a plan. Listen to me carefully.”Meanwhile, Alivin, Alicia, Agnes, Kevin, and Melissa were still in the cave. The atmosphere was so quiet. The sound of rain accompanied their reverie. “What took Rand
“Althon, what are you saying? You can't just leave us,” Alicia said fearfully. “You have to fight those punks and protect us.”“Althon, don't joke around at a time like this.” Alvin gulped repeatedly. He certainly didn't want to fight those punks because he knew the result. “Althon, please don't leave us.” Melissa cried again. Kevin added, “If you leave us, you're doing us a disservice, Althon. You can't do that.”Agnes looked terrified until she finally realized something. “Mr. Alan and the guards couldn't have left Daddy in danger. Daddy is probably playing a prank on Alvin, Alicia, and the others right now,” she muttered.Agnes observed Alicia, Alvin, Kevin, and Melissa. “I have to act.”Agnes pretended to panic. “Althon, please don't leave us. We need you. We'll do anything as long as you help us.”“I don't want to help you anymore. I've lost my patience with your actions. You continue to prank me and do not even hesitate to endanger my life, but you do not realize your mistakes
“Don't act stupid, Alicia!” Alvin gripped Alicia's hand. “I forbid you to apologize to Althon.”“I-I'm scared, Alvin.” Alicia looked panicked, looking at her trembling hands.“The rescue squad will help us. You don't have to worry,” Alvin said.Two shots rang out almost simultaneously. Several pieces of rock fell and almost hit Melissa and Kevin. “Oh my God,” Melissa screamed.“Ah!” Kevin was in pain, holding his thigh. Althon pretended to fall. Alan and the guards rushed over to the cave. Agnes, Melissa, and Alicia screamed, while Alvin and Kevin looked terrified. “Alvin, Alicia, you two haven't asked for help and begged me. If you're still being arrogant, I'll leave you alone!” Althon shouted as he rolled to the side, keeping the punks away from the cave.“Alvin, Alicia, don't be stubborn! Apologize to Althon now!” shouted Agnes. “I'm sorry, Althon. I admit all my mistakes.” Alicia burst into tears, hugging Alvin.“Alicia.” Alvin covered Alicia's mouth, pulling the woman away fr
“You don't need to worry, Agnes. The guards have already caught them and dragged them to the prison. I guarantee there will be no more danger,” Althon said. “I-I'm sure Alvin and Alicia will set you up again, Daddy. They won't be satisfied until you suffer.” Agnes looked down to hide her flushed face. “I'll teach them a valuable lesson after the reunion.” Althon looked at his watch. “You should get some rest, Agnes. I'll see you at breakfast.”“Yes, Daddy.” Agnes smiled, feeling an overwhelming sense of joy. She didn't know when she felt so happy to be around Althon.Althon left the room, stopping in front of a room. He peeked inside the room at the crack in the door. “Alvin, Kevin, and Randy were chatting. Alvin is forcing them to help him drag me to jail. You won't be able to do it, Alvin.”Althon smiled. “I need to teach you a lesson, Alvin. You should feel what it's like to be in Noah's shoes.”Althon walked down the hallway, keeping an eye on the surroundings. He checked the re
Althon woke up refreshed. He exercised on the beach and in the yard. “This is my last day on Mande Island. I have to go back to training and studying tomorrow. This vacation has been a lot of fun.”Althon rested in the courtyard, sipping a drink. “I thought Alvin and Alicia would come prank me again, but nothing happened last night. I'm pretty disappointed. They looked tired.”Althon smiled when he saw Alvin coming out of the hotel. “You look very happy, Alvin. You must have slept very well.”Alvin snorted in annoyance. “Shut your mouth, Althon!”Alvin clenched his fists tightly, sitting on the sofa. He had barely slept all night due to fear. Agnes' father had called him so many times that he was forced to lie about Agnes. “I don't want to experience anything bad like Noah.”Alvin let out a long breath. “I hope Alicia can persuade Agnes.”“Alvin, have you prepared a surprise for me? To be honest, I liked last night's game. I could see your tense and scared face.”“You bastard!” Alvin
“What's going on? I have a bad feeling,” Alvin muttered.Althon smiled in his chair, enjoying a drink. “This should be a lot of fun. I can't wait to see the expressions of Alvin, Alicia, and the others.”The person in charge of Pulau Mande said, “I've gotten word that some of you have committed very bad acts while on Mande Island, such as committing acts of violence, slander, bribery, destruction of property, theft, and making noise. I already have all the evidence.”Alvin, Alicia, Kevin, Randy, and the others were shocked. “Mande Island is an entertainment and vacation location that holds values and morals in high regard. To ensure everyone's happiness and enjoyment, we have decided to punish rule breakers with fines and even blacklist them.”The person in charge of Mande Island gave a sign to one of his subordinates. A large screen instantly appeared and displayed a row of photos, their names, their mistakes, and the fines they had to pay. “What?” Alvin was surprised when his name
"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
