“Even if I’m no longer at my peak, I’m not someone they can toy with at will.”“Besides, most of my strength has already returned.”“Since they’ve come here to die, I don’t mind using their lives to rediscover the feel of battle.”“It’s been far too long since I last faced truly top-tier opponents. I’m almost starting to forget what fighting feels like.”Joseph let out a cold smile, his tone brimming with confidence.“Since you’re confident, Young Master, there’s nothing more for us to say.”“Your strength back then far surpassed theirs. If you can unleash even a portion of that now, crushing them again won’t be an issue.”Hearing the certainty in Joseph’s words, Neil Foster finally felt reassured.“Then let’s do this,” Brian Adams said after listening to both of them. “I’ll lead the team to deal with Monad and Richardson. The Kitahara brothers will be left to the Young Master.”“As for the remaining small fry, leave them to old Foster. You take people with you and handle them.”Neil
Chapter 841
“Lillian Morvek, are you out of your mind? Can you please shut your mouth?”“Running your mouth like that will only get you into trouble.”Heidi said helplessly.“Can’t shut it, won’t shut it—bleh!”With that, Lillian Morvek skipped away, leaving Heidi utterly speechless.“That damn girl—completely unhinged.”Heidi couldn’t help muttering to herself.After Lillian Morvek left, Heidi tidied up the room briefly and then headed into the bathroom to take a shower.She had been busy outside all day, sweating through her clothes.Once she closed the bathroom door, she slipped out of her clothes, her flawless figure revealed in full.Staring at her nearly perfect reflection in the mirror, Heidi suddenly recalled what Lillian Morvek had said earlier—about men not wanting to get out of bed for days.Her thoughts naturally drifted to Joseph. As certain embarrassing images surfaced in her mind, her delicate face flushed, warmth spreading across her cheeks.Would that infuriating man really like

“You’re too young.”Joseph finally forced the words out.“Too young? Are you kidding me? Alice is even younger than I am. Why don’t you think she’s too young?”Heidi looked stubborn, chin lifted.“You’re different from her.”Joseph sounded thoroughly helpless.“How am I different? Just because I’m your ex-wife’s sister?” Heidi snorted softly. “I knew it. You’ve never gotten past that.”“Ahem… that is part of it,” Joseph replied after clearing his throat.“I knew it. You really are a block of dead wood that refuses to bloom.”“Fine, I won’t pressure you anymore. Take your time. You’ve been overwhelmed lately anyway.”“If there’s anything I can help with, just tell me—especially anything computer-related. That’s my strong suit.”It seemed Heidi had suddenly come to terms with things.“Thank you. If I need help, I won’t stand on ceremony.”Joseph smiled faintly.“Good. That’s how it should be,” Heidi said casually.By then, they had reached the door.“I’ll head out now. It’s getting late

“Oh for heaven’s sake, there you go again, talking nonsense.”“I just walked in and already heard you running your mouth.”“What does your cousin and her husband’s business have to do with you? Why do you have to yap about it?”Nicole Hayes said as she lightly pinched Lillian Morvek.“Oh, come on, it’s no big deal.”“Cousin and Brother-in-law don’t mind at all.”“Look at them now—they’re doing just fine.”“They’re more harmonious after the divorce than they ever were before it.”“I saw them chatting just now, perfectly peaceful.”Lillian Morvek looked utterly unrepentant.“Hahaha, this child may speak bluntly, but she’s telling the truth.”Old Mr. Cooper couldn’t help but laugh heartily.“Watch your mouth.”Nicole Hayes scolded softly.“Bleh, bleh, bleh…”Lillian Morvek stuck out her tongue and pulled a mischievous face.“Whether to divorce or not is a choice for the young people themselves.”“We elders shouldn’t interfere too much.”“It’s just that this little brat loves to talk nons

Just as the two were talking, the sound of approaching footsteps grew louder. Heidi and Lillian Morvek, along with the others, walked in.“Grandfather! Brother-in-law!”Heidi called out.“Hello, Grandpa Cooper. Hello, Brother-in-law.”Lillian Morvek followed closely behind her.“You’re doing well too. It’s only been a year or two, and you’ve grown so much.”Joseph smiled slightly as he glanced at Lillian Morvek.“Hehe, of course. Next year I’m taking the entrance exams for Nova University.”“When that happens, I’ll be in the same school as Cousin Heidi—and you too, Brother-in-law.”Lillian Morvek said cheerfully.“Nova University isn’t easy to get into. The cutoff score will probably be very high.”Joseph couldn’t resist teasing her a little.“Don’t worry. If Cousin Heidi managed to get in, then I definitely can too.”Lillian Morvek said stubbornly.“You little menace, what do you mean by that?”“Are you saying my grades are terrible?”Heidi shot her a glare.“Hehe, no, no. I just mea

“So our Cooper family has such a past after all.”Fiona murmured softly, a trace of emotion in her voice.“Our branch in Nova City only truly began to rise with my generation, step by step, until we reached where we are today.”“But even now, though we can be considered a prominent family in Nova City, we are still far behind the Cooper family of Metropolis City.”“The Cooper family there is a colossal force. They have both wealth and power, and now their influence has even extended into the Central Council.”“Among those who hold real authority in the Central Council, the ruling figures of the Metropolis City Cooper family wield considerable power.”“At one point, I even thought about giving up on returning to Metropolis City and simply developing quietly here in Nova City.”“But later, I came to understand something.”“As long as the Nova City Cooper family continues to grow and expand, we will inevitably attract their attention.”“And judging by their nature, they would once again
