The group of cars entered a gate, pulling over in a row of cars and motorcycles. Albert and Ana left the car, observing the gangsters and the crowd. They entered the fighting arena, sitting in the stands. "I didn't know it would be this crowded," Ana said as she observed the spectators packed into the stands. "I knew you'd be interested, Ana. I've seen fights in this place, and the fights are insane. The fighters in this place are so cruel and interesting." Albert laughed. "Let's make a bet."Albert and Ana enjoyed the match with the other spectators. The atmosphere became more crowded as time passed. Some spectators argued, and the guards soon dragged them and beat them outside the venue. "I won a lot of bets tonight." Ana laughed. "I can say this is the most money I've managed to collect from betting.""This money is nothing compared to our pocket money in elementary school, Ana," Albert observed the two fighters in the arena. "The man on the right side was last year's champions
"I wondered what Jay and the other staff planned to do to me. Jay seemed very angry when he found out about Kevin's condition. He even came to warn me in person," Althon said. Althon deliberately didn't lock the door, rushing back to bed, pretending to be asleep. He heard footsteps approaching. "I've installed surveillance cameras outside and inside the room. I'll know what they're going to do. I just have to act my best."A man turned off the electricity in Althon's room while three other men rushed into the room and the rest stood guard outside. "That scum forgot to lock the door. What a slob!" said one of Jay's bodyguards. "Even if a thief enters his room, he won't find anything valuable.""He's asleep like trash in the gutter. He's disgusted me since he first came to this office.""Mr. Jay had suspected Asghar of being a spy. However, Mr. Drankon said the man was just a poor, useless man. Unfortunately, he got Mr. Drankon in trouble and Mr. Jay was furious.""Do it quickly.""Do
Althon smiled as he peered outside through the holographic screen. "They're about to start their plan. Well, I have to act well."Althon opened the door. The three Jay bodyguards who entered his room last night were before him. They stared intently. "Asghar, Mr. Jay wants you in the lobby right now," said one of the bodyguards."Did I do something wrong?" Althon asked."Mr. Jay asked all the janitors to gather in the lobby.""Okay." Althon followed the three guards. He could see some of the janitors walking toward the lobby. Althon and the janitors gathered in the lobby. He saw several employees watching him since his arrival. "Jay and the managers still haven't shown up."Meanwhile, Agnes was surprised to see Linda at the café. "Nice to meet you, Miss Linda," Agnes said as friendly as she could, "I didn't expect that we would meet at this café." "Come on, Agnes. We're not at school right now. You can call me, Linda. Am I intruding on your time?""No. I have free time now." Agnes
"I want to remind you about the company owner's visit in five days. We must prepare everything well. I don't want a single mistake to happen while the company owner is here. I'm sure you already understand how important the visit is and what you must do," Jay said. Jay glanced at Althon, smiling. "Unfortunately, I've gotten word that one of you has done something very inappropriate."The janitors glanced at each other, except for Althon and Ben. "One of you has stolen some of the employees' belongings, and I will take strict action against anyone." Jay looked at Althon, Ben, and the cleaners in turn. Jay gave the signal to one of the employees. The screen instantly displayed a list of missing items and their owners. Some of the janitors began to glance in Althon's direction."Asghar was the one who cleaned Mr. Jay's room and the others," one janitor said, turning to Althon. "He looked suspicious from the start.""He might have stolen the items and sold them for money. He got a pay
"What are you doing?" asked Althon as a guard handcuffed him. "I'm not a thief. You can't treat me like this until you find evidence.""I'm sure the evidence is in your room, Asghar! Otherwise, you would have sold them to someone else. I heard you had gone out of the office," Jay said."I am not a thief. You'll have to apologize to me if I'm proven innocent." Althon observed Jay and the employees who surrounded him. "You'll rot in jail if that stuff is in your room."Althon walked to his room with Jay, the staff, and the guards. The group continued to grow as employees from other rooms joined in. The hallway was full of people sneering at Althon."You're finished, Asghar." Jay smiled fiercely, moving away from the crowd, and contacting someone. "Are you sure Asghar didn't realize the stuff in his room? He should be destroyed today.""I confirm Asghar didn't realize the items, sir. We kept the items in a difficult place.""Prepare a backup plan just in case.""The punks are already in
Jay burst out laughing. "Don't joke around, thief! Everyone's already convinced you're the thief. Besides, the guards and I have seen the surveillance footage of you taking the employees' belongings. I'm sure you're not blind so you could see those three punks nearby! You told them to sell your stolen goods.""Arrest and bring that thief right now!""He should rot in jail!""I don't want to see that thief in this place again!""Go away asshole!"The employees sneered at Althon. They already felt victorious because Althon couldn't possibly have any evidence of his innocence. All the employees and janitors had conspired to destroy him. "You'll explain everything at the office," the policeman said as he pulled Althon away. Althon turned to the three guards beside Jay. "Those three guards entered my room last night after turning off the power. They placed some items to slander me. Besides them, three people are guarding outside."Jay and the employees were shocked, looking at each other
"The Lovatown police chief sent a message that his subordinates had left for this company a few minutes ago. He even sent pictures of his men," one of Jay's friends replied, "those policemen are indeed his men.""Hey, what if Asghar has the evidence? Will he report us?" another employee asked.Jay chuckled, smiling. "That scum wouldn't dare to. Even if he reports us to the police, we'll get off easy."Jay smiled even though he was tense when the first video appeared on the screen. "That scum couldn't possibly have any evidence. He's been Mr. Drankon's servant for the past few days. He didn't have time to record, not to mention he doesn't have any close friends in this office unless he installed some hidden surveillance cameras."Jay gritted his teeth, giving Althon a sharp look. "What an asshole! He seems to have gotten suspicious when I ordered some people to watch him."The screen showed Jay and some employees talking to some guards. They were planning to slander Althon as a thief.
"Take me to the hotel now, Ali," Althon said as he surveyed the street scene. He typed a message to Anthony, hesitating to send it until he finally deleted it and put his phone in his pants pocket. Althon saw the guards come out of the gate and spread out. "You'll never catch me.""I hope you're okay now, Grandpa." Althon clenched his fists tightly as he remembered how his three uncles and the Leander family had treated him and his parents. His chest was suddenly tight, and his heart was beating very fast. "Every time I remember how they treated me and my parents, I get so angry that my chest gets tight. They are such disgusting, evil people. They don't care if they hurt their siblings and family, including hurting their father."Althon gritted his teeth to hold back his anger. "I need to calm down and stay away from them until I'm ready."Meanwhile, Jay and the employees were still in the company lobby. They looked irritated that Althon had gotten away with their plan. "What an as
"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
