"I learned martial arts by myself since school. I had a few months of bodyguard training. Unfortunately, I had to stop because I had no money. I've honed my skills through fighting with punks now and then." Althon ignored the bodyguards watching him. "You have a good command of martial arts techniques. I might be able to recommend you to Mr. Kevin to have you become his bodyguard.""I'm Kevin's bodyguard?" Althon smiled. "I never imagined that before. Kevin must prank on me every day.""You can think about that offer carefully.""I'll think about it later."Kevin looked at the various messages he had sent to Alvin. "Alvin still hasn't replied to my messages until today. Where did he go?"Kevin rushed into the car after breakfast. "Where's Althon?""He's still in the room, sir."Kevin smiled. "Take me away from the hotel right now. I don't want Althon messing up my car. He needs to get to the office himself. I'll punish him when he arrives late."The car left the hotel, speeding down
Leander's family was having lunch by the lake. They talked about many things. "I'm so glad you've become such wonderful people. I wish I could see my grandchildren married and happy with their children," Anthony said. "You will certainly stay with us, Dad. You have to see your grandchildren get married." Arnold smiled, stroking Anthony's hand. He still hadn't found any clues in this house, even though he had canceled several meetings with several people. Arnold glanced at Aaron and Andy. "Dad, I wish we could get together when Alex and Alexa introduce their lovers." "Dad." Alexa let out a long breath. "I'm embarrassed." "You're marriage material at your age, Alexa. You're perfect in every way. You're going to be a very beautiful bride." Anthony turned to Alex and Alexa. "Are you guys going to have your wedding on the same day?" "I think that's a great idea, Grandpa," Alex said. "Of course not. I don't want you to ruin my happy day, Alex. I want to be the center of attention
"You're asking me to dinner at a restaurant?" Althon asked for confirmation, looking at Kevin intently. "Didn't I hear wrong?""You asshole! I'm not the devil's man. You've worked hard, and I will reward you with a delicious meal at a restaurant of my choice," Kevin replied. "I know you just want to screw me over, Kevin. You'll order an expensive meal, then leave me to pay for it. When I couldn't pay, you'd laugh and send my photos and videos to your friends. Some people won't change, and change won't happen quickly.""Damn it! Who do you think you are to lecture me, Althon?""Alright, I'm coming to the restaurant tonight."Kevin entered the car, shut the door hard, and opened the windshield. "I'll punish you if you don't come, Althon.""Will Jay and the office staff be there?" Althon asked. "No." Kevin closed the windshield and slammed into the driver's seat. "Leave right now!"Kevin smiled fiercely. "I can't wait for tonight, Althon."Althon watched Kevin leave, letting out a long
"You've got to be kidding me, Kevin. You're Alvin's close friend. You should know better than anyone where Alvin is right now." Althon laughed. "What a jerk! You've insulted Alvin!" Kevin snapped. Kevin, Randy, Ronald, and Max had no idea where Alvin was. They had sent hundreds of messages and called dozens of times, but they didn't get any response. Whenever they visited Alvin's house, James and Alvin's family would kick them out. "Come on, Kevin. You, Alvin, and the rest of you have been bullying me since school. You guys don't even hesitate to insult me and pick on me without any guilt." Althon surveyed the food on the table. "Why did you say Alvin is cleaning the toilet right now, Althon?" asked Randy with a sharp look. "I'm just guessing. I heard Mr. Sean lifted the punishment for the Julian Family. I'm sure Mr. Sean put tough conditions on the Julians, especially Alvin and Noah. Aren't they the ones who made the mistake?"Althon smiled. "Why don't you ask Agnes? Didn't she
"We don't have bodyguards. You must be mistaken, sir," Kevin said. A guard showed Althon's picture. "This man claims to be your bodyguard. He broke two expensive vases on his way out of the restaurant. He said his boss would pay the damages.""What a jerk! Althon played a prank on us!" screamed Kevin, clenching his fists tightly. "Where is he now?""The guy walked out of the restaurant a few minutes ago."The restaurant patrons watched Kevin, Randy, Ronald, and Max. They whispered and laughed. "Damn it! They're laughing at us! Althon must have done it on purpose. He knew we'd play a prank on him." Kevin snorted in annoyance, looking down in shame. "You should have arrested that guy. He's the one who should be paying the damages, not us," Randy said with an annoyed look. Kevin called Althon. "What an asshole! Althon isn't answering my calls.""What should we do now?" asked Max. "You have to compensate and pay the fine now. We'll report you to the police and put your faces all over
The car door flew open as Althon was pushed out. "You should join those punks, Althon." Kevin burst out laughing. "Aren't you one of them?"Althon almost fallen if he didn't hold on to the door. He swayed for a moment, scrambling up onto the car roof. He surveyed the pursuing punks."Kevin, Randy, Ronald, and Max are trying to get me out of the car so the punks can attack me. They're so sneaky." Althon looked around, holding on as the car accelerated. Max opened the windshield, looking up at the roof. "Damn it! What are you doing up there, Althon? You're supposed to fall and join the punks!""Althon survived. He's sitting on the roof," Randy said."Shit! Why does he always get so lucky?" snapped Kevin as he sped up the car. He swerved several times so that Althon would fall. Althon persisted with a smile. "It's not worth my physical training. You can try more dangerous tricks if you want to beat me.""Althon's still holding on to the car." Randy chuckled, surprised when the hooliga
Kevin was still shocked by what had just happened. The man stood still without blinking for some time. His mouth was open, but he didn't say anything. "Kevin, are you okay?" Ronald asked as he shook Kevin's body. Althon drove the car faster, stifling a laugh when he saw Kevin's expression. Kevin shook his head a few times, massaging his dizzy head. "What happened?" "We made it out alive, Kevin. We're driving towards the city center now," Ronald said, turning to Althon. "Dam it! This is all your fault, Althon!" screamed Kevin. Althon suddenly burst out laughing. "You guys were silly earlier, especially you, Kevin. You're as pale as corpses." Kevin, Randy, Ronald, and Max looked at each other. "You bastards! Stop laughing, Althon! You have to take responsibility for all this trouble!" Kevin looked at his legs, which were still trembling. He leaned back in his chair, breathing deeply. Randy, Ronald, and Max began to calm down when they saw the high-rise buildings. "Where a
Kevin woke up to the sound of the phone. The man massaged his head, yawning repeatedly. "What a jerk! So noisy."Kevin took the call without looking at the caller. "What do you want?""Kevin, why did you order Althon out of town?" asked Randy."What?" Kevin snapped out of his trance, opening his eyes wide. He jumped out of bed, observing his appearance in the mirror. "I told Althon to get out of town?"Randy walked into Kevin's room. "I met Althon in the lobby. Althon said you asked him to look for an item out of town, and he wasn't to return until he got the item.""I didn't order Althon anything. He must be lying.""Althon showed me the videotape evidence when you said that. He took a car out of town to fulfill your order. He said he'd be home tomorrow."Kevin slapped his cheek a few times. "I didn't say anything.""Damn it!" Kevin rushed to wash his face, gritting his teeth. "Althon just wants to run away because he's tired of me picking on him all the time."Randy arrived in front
"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
