Arnold, Aaron, and Andy would often meet Anthony unannounced. Althon was very annoyed that he could do nothing but hide in a safe place. After the visit of his three uncles, Anthony's condition would worsen. Althon channeled his anger into studying and practicing very hard. He rarely took a day off. Althon was practicing martial arts in the large courtyard with several bodyguards. It was almost frustrating that he could never beat them. The fighting suddenly stopped when Alan entered the arena. "Young Master, Mr. Aaron is visiting with Mr. Andrew and Mr. Aldhen this afternoon. They are still on their way now. Master Anthony asked me to take you to safety." Althon snorted in annoyance. “They pissed me off so much.” Althon hurried to hide in the forest, continuing his training in the arena. Ten minutes later, a group of cars pulled up in front of the terrace. Aaron, Andrew, and Aldhen got out of the car, hugging Anthony in turn. Anthony pretended to be happy even though he w
Althon and Anthony had dinner in silence. The rain was pouring down heavily. Lightning boomed several times, and the wind blew very hard. Althon felt very angry about his current situation. He felt like a useless figure when Anthony was distressed by the arrival of his sons and grandchildren. “Althon, I have important information for you,” Anthony said after taking a sip of his drink. “You must listen carefully.”Althon put down his cutlery. “Sure, Grandpa.”"I know you're depressed about your current situation. However, you must remember that everything in this world has its time. Don't think that your efforts in training and learning are useless. You've shown a huge change from when you first came to this mansion."Althon listened intently. "Althon, I have received a report on your training and learning. You've shown remarkable results. I honestly didn't expect you to have changed so much."Anthony smiled. “Althon, I'm going to give you an assignment to measure your mastery of bu
Althon hugged Anthony before leaving for his assignment. He was worried about his grandfather, but he knew Anthony would get worse if he stayed at home. "Grandpa, I'm going to miss you so much. I'll see you when I'm done,” Althon said. “I'm sure you can do it, Althon.” Anthony turned to Alan for a moment. "Alan will be with me while you run errands. Someone will take over his duties while he is at home. "A man suddenly approached and bowed to Althon. "I am Ali, your new trusted assistant, Young Master. I will take over Alan's duties as best I can.""Ali is Alan's cousin. He is the son of one of your father's confidants, Althon. Alan directly appointed Ali to take over his duties. He's been working abroad all this time. He rushed home after I asked him to take care of you. Do you mind?""Of course not, Grandpa. You and Alan trust Ali, and I have no reason not to. He seems strong and reliable." Althon was increasingly convinced that this assignment was to keep him away from home. Th
The punks came in droves from the end of the street. They followed their leader who walked ahead. The pedestrians immediately moved away from the scene. "You bastards! Don't kill anyone! I don't want the hassle!” shouted a policeman at a post close to the fight site. He entered the post, watching television with his friends. “Those punks number sixty.” Althon scanned the hologram screen, turning to Ali. “Ali seems very calm.”"You son of a bitch! I heard you beat my men unconscious." The bald-haired man spat, glaring at Ali. The punks sneered at Ali behind their leader. "I am the ruler of the streets of Lovatown. I will not forgive someone who has made a mess of my place." The bald man spat again, pulled out a knife from his pants pocket, and smiled fiercely. "I'm not a bad person though. I'll let you go after you apologize and give me a hundred thousand dollars. If you refuse, I'll finish you off in this place."The gang leader eyed the car. "You come from a wealthy family. One
Althon arrived at the office half an hour before work started. However, he did not see any employees until an hour later. Employees started showing up an hour after work time. “So, you're the new janitor?” said a man in his thirties, observing Althon. "You're quite handsome and dashing for a janitor. You could probably work as a model or a male entertainer. A handsome face is useless if you don't have money and position."“You're right, sir.” Althon did agree with the man's words because he had experienced it for years.The man named Jay laughed. "Follow me. I'll introduce you to the other officers. I hope you do well."“Yes, sir.” Althon walked along the corridor, observing the relaxed-looking employees in each room. “They chat and even watch movies during work hours.”Jay turned his head for a moment, laughing. "I'll tell you something. You must do your job well and stay out of the employees' business. The owner of this company never comes to supervise our work."“I don't know your
The week flew by slowly and tediously for Althon. He was getting more and more annoyed with the attitude of the workers in this company day by day. They ignored the rules and did their jobs as they pleased. However, when the government agencies came, they turned into exemplary bodyguards. Althon would search the office and every room every night for clues and evidence of the employees' crimes. He did his job without the help of Ali and the bodyguards. They would monitor him from a distance and approach him when he needed help and was in danger. Althon tried to build a good relationship with Jay and the staff. However, they kept their distance from him even though some female employees kept flirting with him. At the same time, some of the janitors disliked him more and more and started to openly bully him by dirtying his work, slandering him, and locking him in the restrooms and office. Althon examined some documents in Jay's room. "They keep the evidence of their crimes very well.
"He pisses me off so much." Another female employee chimed in."That's because you're poor and ugly.""They're drunk. This is my chance to overhear their conversation," Althon muttered as he moved closer to the wall. "Asghar doesn't belong in our company. He seems to be an honest man. He'll be a problem for us if we can't keep his mouth shut.""Yes, I agree with you. His attitude irritates me.""I got a report from some janitors that Asghar picked up some papers in the garbage can. They also saw him talking to strangers at the front and back gates.""We don't know his purpose for working in our company." Jay took a sip of his drink. "I suspect that he is an intruder."All the employees instantly turned to Jay."What do you mean, Jay?""That man is too handsome and dashing to be a janitor in a small company. He's more suited to be a bodyguard, artist, model, or a worker in a big company. I suspect he's... a spy for the owner of our company. I caught him entering the archive room."Ja
"Albert, are you crazy?" asked Alex as Albert was about to enter his room. Albert entered the room, removed his jacket, and lay on the bed. He watched the video of Ali and the punks fighting for the umpteenth time. "What do you want, Alex? Tell me now before I go to sleep.""What's really in your brain, Albert? You were joking around while Dad was explaining the plan. You should know that the plan is essential to me.""I heard everything Dad said, Alex." Albert clucked, turning his back on Alex. "Go away, you're annoying me."Alex grabbed Albert's cell phone, throwing it on the floor. "You're still being childish, Albert. How long are you going to be interested in that street fight?""What do you want, Alex?" Albert snorted in annoyance, picking up his cell phone. "Get out of my room now!"Alex let out a long breath. "Listen to me carefully, Albert. We have a big problem threatening our family. I need you to focus on solving this problem with Dad, Mom, me, and Alexa.""We don't have
