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
Althon met Jay and three other bodyguards in front of the office. They entered the car and drove to the meeting location. Punks were gathered on the side of the road. "Those damn punks are getting more and more numerous all the time. What do they want?" Jay snapped as he observed the punks. Jay glanced at Althon, smiling bitterly. "Lovatown is just a small town. They can go to bigger cities to make money.""Punks from different cities keep coming to Lovatown every day. According to rumors, they wanted to meet a man who defeated the Lovatown gang leader. He has such great skills that the punks want to fight with him, sir," one of the guards replied.Another guard replied, "That man is known as the God of Death.""Those punks are making the city even shabbier." Jay laughed. "I wouldn't be surprised if the rich would hire the God of Death." The car entered the city center, speeding past shops and buildings. Punks were seen in almost every corner of the city. Pedestrians looked so scar
The punks left Althon in a hurry. They ran away until they fell and bumped into each other."Ali did his job without interrupting my fun." Althon turned to the open restaurant door."We need to pick up Mr. Jay at the restaurant ASAP," Tonny said. Althon and Tonny left the restaurant. "Tonny didn't mention my fight with those punks at all," Althon muttered as he watched the street. He saw the punks gathered near an empty building. Some of them were lying unconscious on the sidewalk. Jay was already in front of the restaurant when the car arrived. "Asghar, I heard about the commotion at the restaurant you and Tonny checked out. I'm going to move the meeting location to another location.""I understand, sir."Althon entered the car with Jay and another bodyguard. They arrived at a fancy restaurant a few minutes later. "Tonny told me about your abilities, Asghar. I suspected that you have extraordinary abilities. I will use your services as my bodyguard if I need your help. You will g
"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
