"Who are you, and why should I believe you?"

Alex gave Daniel a suspicious look. His wife had left him and their daughter, when Violet was only one year old, supposedly for a wealthy man. But Alex had not been too upset. He lived a relatively peaceful life, as long as he had enough to eat and feed his daughter.

However, after Violet fell ill, he spent all his savings trying to cure her. The doctors said the only way to save her was through a heart transplant, but he couldn't afford it.

That was when Mark Holmes appeared out of nowhere. In their rented room, Alex heard a knock on the door and stood up, alert.

"Dad, is it a bad guy?" Violet asked while playing with her teddy bear.

"Don't worry, I'm here," Alex gave her a reassuring smile.

Violet had a feeling that the person at the door was not a good person, and she was right. The man has a sinister look, with black lips and a scruffy beard.

"Who are you?"

Alex had never seen this man before, despite knowing everyone in the constructi

    "I will find someone else to help," Alex endured the pain from his wound."But there's no one more suitable to save your daughter than me," said Daniel, ignoring Alex’s pain."What?" Alex widened his eyes. Is no one more suitable in the whole world? Did this come from the mouth of that useless Daniel?It seemed that he was used to being embarrassed by the Hughes family and was dissatisfied, wanting to vent his anger."If you don't want Violet to be sold for her organs by Mark, then tell me everything you know about him," Daniel said."Okay, I will tell you, " Alex recognized that following Daniel was his only hope, and immediately gave him Mark’s phone number and social media name."How do we save her?" he asked with acynical expression, wanting to see Daniel's expression.Daniel hid his expression well and thought about some rescue routes with a frown."Don't stay in the hospital. Only you and I can save Violet," Daniel said."How can I help you when I'm so badly injured?" Daniel w

    Violet had been following Daniel all along. When she spoke, Daniel felt that she was very similar to his younger sister, Raylie.His sister was also a baby who couldswitch between being a caring sister, a proud sister, and a sickly sister. In other words, she had three different personalities and couldhighlight one of them at any given time.Raylie couldn't speak because of an illnesscaused by an attack on her. This was one of the reasons why Daniel worked so hard, to make sure she could speak one day. If she couldn't, he would still make sure she had a good life. He had even privately vowed to Raylie that he would make sure she had afairytale-like life.Now, Violet's heart had failed, and she looked completely sickly. What was the difference between her and his sickly sister?"Daniel bear, can you answer some questions for me?" In Daniel's conversation with her father just now, she had learned that this person's name was Daniel. So, she decided to call him Ice, which matched his

    After dinner, Sophia personally helpedViolet washed up and then took her to her room to sleep."Aunty Sophia, I think you and Uncle Daniel should sleep in the same room, I can sleep in another room, " Violet said."Violet, don't talk nonsense. Me and your uncle have never slept in the same room," Sophia replied."But isn't he your husband?" Violet asked."Violet, don't ask questions like that in the future. It's enough to know in your heart." Daniel said before entering the bedroom."Uncle Ice, I promise I won't say it anymore, but Violet wishes you both a long and happy life together," Violet said."Well said," Daniel and Sophia said at the same time.The night was very quiet, but it wasn't so calm after waking up in the morning. Sophia's residence was located in the back garden of the company headquarters, where there was a delicate but somewhat old building made of brick and wood, with three floors.This was built by her grandfather after becoming wealthy, and he instructed her t

It turned out that when Sophia’s grandfather passed away, he was present and had heard the last words, so he knew it was true without reading it.Everyone fell silent, and in an instant, many people vented their anger on Daniel."Daniel, you useless fool, you've done another good deed. We'll hold you accountable for all the money!" Uncle Hilary said."If it weren't for Daniel, I would have enough money to buy a car!" John said angrily.What about my ten-day trip to Europe and Asia?" Hilary also said "Daniel, it's all because of you. You're a burden to our family. You never consider us when you do things."It's not that we won't get revenge, it's just that the time hasn't come yet!" Michael's face was full of hatred. For a while, the hall was filled with curses.At this moment, Sophia’s secretary, walked in and said,

    When Daniel and Sophia returned to their company residence, Sophia noticed that he seemed absent-minded, but she didn't pay much attention to it because she didn't think Daniel had any sense of responsibility. Meanwhile, Daniel quietly left the room shortly after entering it. His light footsteps went unnoticed by Sophia and Aunty Stella.In a hidden underground casino in Sunshine, there was a man named Chris who was gambling at a table and winning every time.The other three players at the mahjong table had lost and wanted to leave, but they didn't dare. Chris was known as the "Black Devil" in Sunshine. Chris's special ability was X-ray vision, which was not uncommon in the martial arts world, but it was useful in this setting."Boss, Gwen (Sophia’s secretary) is at the hospital today, taking care of a child named Violet," a subordinate whispered to Chris."Got it, stop!" Chris lightly tapped the table.The three players were relieved and quickly left. Chris's brothers also got ready

    Chris looked through the rearview mirror from the passenger seat and saw a shadow chasing after him, with a speed almost as fast as the car's.If it was just following for a short distance, he could handle it, but that shadow had been following him for quite a while!Could there be such a skilled and elusive person?Chris's body trembled and finally shouted at the driver, "Get him far away from us!""Yes!" The driver stepped on the gas pedal and the car went even faster. After a while, the shadow behind them was almost out of sight.Chris finally breathed a sigh of relief.The car arrived at a villa not long after andstopped in front of the gate, waiting for the butler to open the door.But after parking, there was no sound of the driver honking the horn, nor did Chris call for the butler.Gwen was completely stunned. Could it be that she was saved? She moved her body, no longer under the control of that person. It turned out that her body had also stiffened and someone had already

    At this moment, Sophia walked in. She had finished some work at the company and was worried about Violet, so she rushed over."Is Violet feeling better? How is her condition?" she asked."The surgery was successful," Daniel replied."Why did you leave early this morning without telling me?" Sophia looked a bit unhappy as she glanced at him."I know you have a lot of work at the company. If I told you I was coming to take care of Violet, you would have come with me, and that would have added more to your plate," Daniel explained.After hearing their conversation, Gwen was stunned. Could it be that Daniel was the person from last night? At the very least, Daniel could freely enter and exit Sophia’s house. However, when she saw the disdainful look in Sophia’s eyes, she immediately felt that her thoughts were not quite in line with reality."There are five plates of food here, just enough for everyone. Sophia, you should have some too." Daniel said.Sophia happened to have not eaten yet,

    Javier took a sip of coffee before continuing, "I was developing a hotel in South America, but unexpectedly got into a conflict with a black organization. They were too powerful for me to handle, so l had to give up. But they didn't want to leave any loose ends and sent people to come after me. In Sunshine, they caught up to me again and I couldn't escape. That's when Daniel appeared and took them all to a mountain in a tourist area where hikers often get lost and die. Those people met the same fate."Sophia was excited and her eyes sparkled, "So, the Black Americans who died in Sunshine two years ago were the ones you were talking about?""Yes, I'm not making this up. That's why Daniel asked me to take care of your food and drink. I didn't dare to neglect it, hoping to live up to Daniel’s expectations."Everyone looked at Daniel, but he acted as if nothing had happened and continued to drink his coffee. He looked even more important than Javier, which made Sophia angry. Little did sh

    "I'II speaks for Miss Grimwald, Daniel said. "Miss Grimwald's current enemies are my younger brother Archer, Mateo from King City Hidden Family, and Mark Holmes. They are all pursuing Miss Grimwald, but she doesn't agree and rejects them. This is why they sometimes act alone and sometimes unite to deal with the Grimwald family, causing some unrest in the family." "So that's what's going on, Nathaniel said indignantly. Mrs. Nora also added, "Forcing something to happen never ends well. Don't they know that?" "These three people are difficult to deal with. Archer is almost crazy for Miss Grimwald, Mateo is almost sinister, and Mark is almost cruel," Daniel said. "Give me Archer's phone number!" Nathaniel was very angry. He wanted to use this opportunity to solve Archer’s problem. Because Nathaniel had not been to King City for more than five years, he did not have Archer's phone number. Daniel found Archer's phone number and Nathaniel took the phone and called him. "Daniel,

    "Yes, it's me," Daniel answered decisively.Immediately, Maggie put down the tea on the coffee table and bowed respectfully to Daniel, "Now that I've seen the true face of Daniel, I feel honored to have met you!"Daniel also gave a bow in return, "Teacher Maggie, in your field of research, there are almost no people in the world who understand it. So, in a way, I am also honored to have met you. "Maggie chuckled but didn't comment."Alright, everyone please take a seat," Mrs. Nora said, "Raylie, Violet, come and greet the teacher!"Raylie and Violet walked over and knelt in front of Maggie, saying in unison, "Students Raylie and Violet, pay our respects to Teacher Maggie!"Maggie looked at the two children, who were both very intelligent and liked them very much, "I also have good students like you. I am very pleased, and I hope that you will all succeed in the future. If one of you fails, it will be my failure as an educator. So, we must work together, understand?""We will listen t

    Daniel and Sophia arrived at the airport and as soon as they got out of the car, they saw Miss Grimwald, who was holding a child in one hand and had Raylie on her left and Violet on her right. There were also two servants helping them carry their luggage and packages."Daniel!" The two children called out and ran towards Daniel and Sophia, hugging them tightly."Were you told that your grandparents are coming?" Violet asked."Yes," Daniel replied. But Raylie started crying, her eyes turning red. Daniel knew how she felt and patted her back. "We'll see our parents soon. And you need to act like everything is okay, so they won't worry."'I know," Raylie nodded, wiping away her tears. Miss Grimwald and Sophia didn't have any awkwardness between them. Sophia walked up to Miss Grimwald and extended her hand, saying politely, "Miss Grimwald, it's a pleasure to meet you on this island.""It's really lucky. I heard that Ms. Sophia is investing here?" Miss Grimwald smiled."Yes, although Hughe

The location is at the Bright Building in the central area of Jan County.""Does she know that we are coming to see her?""She already knows. Carolina has sent her a notice.""She may be a difficult person to deal with, so everyone needs to be fully prepared.""Yes!" The Nine countries responded in unison. The car arrived at the Building, where a red carpet had been laid out."Is this red carpet for us?" Daniel asked."Yes," said Germany. "When I came to scout yesterday, there was no red carpet. Moreover, Miss Morgana has not had any business these days and has been refusing visitors. Who else could it be for if not us?"Daniel understood and got out of the car first.At the same time, the doors of the

    Daniel observed calmly. Suddenly, he saw a flash of gold in Casey's sleeve. The gold had wings and blood-red eyes! It was the Golden Silkworm!”Daniel was certain. "Attack!" Casey ordered softly.The Golden Silkworm immediately emerged from Casey’s sleeve and flew towards Daniel. Rather than saying it attacked, it was more appropriate to say it darted. Daniel was prepared and dodged to the side.In an instant, a wooden pillar behind him snapped in half from the impact. The force was stronger than he had anticipated. The Golden Silkworm turned around and darted towards Daniel again. Daniel dodged once more. The silkworm then changed tactics, spinning around to form a smaller circle. Daniel held a dagger in his left hand and remained still, using a strategy of stillness to overcome motion. Casey was not one to give up easily and retrieved the Golden Silkworm into herpalm."Beat up Sophia!" Hilary knew the unbearable pain the Golden Silkworm inflicted on her and only wanted to kill Sop

    The night in Jango County was beautiful, with neon lights flashing and people bustling about. A variety of people, including locals and foreigners, seemed to blend into the city. Sophia noticed that Daniel was looking around as he walked, and she thought he was being too cautious. "Daniel, there's no need to be so vigilant. Besides, I have some martial arts skills too.""There's always someone better, and there are always bigger challenges. Don't be too confident, Daniel replied. Sophia didn't say anything more, because in her mind, Daniel had never made a mistake, so she naturally trusted him.After observing the area for a while, Daniel couldn't sense any danger in the vicinity, so he relaxed. He took out his phone and called Kenneth Storm, who was on a mission on Jango Island. Kenneth Storm answered, "Daniel, I heard you're in Jango County. Is that true?""Of course, I'm just strolling through the night market here. I wanted to say thank you to you and Biden for saving my father's

    "Hilary, we are unfamiliar with this place. Where can we find people to deal with Sophia?" John already had an answer: "Hilary, don't you have a good relationship with Joseph from The Black Hand headquarters? Ask him to find some people for you. It's easy!""Yes, Joseph and Daniel are rivals. The people he brings can deal with Daniel, and we can deal with Sophia, striving to leave no evidence." John laughed, but Hilary was confident. Hilary then called Joseph. "Hilary, what's up?" After becoming a high-level executive, Joseph's tone had changed and he sounded superior."Joseph, we have encountered a problem. Daniel and Sophia are going to invest in Jango Island.""Daniel invest? Does he have the ability?""I just said it wrong. It's Sophia who is investing here, and Daniel is here with her." "I know something about their affairs. I heard it when the president was complaining.""Now, we want to take down Daniel and make Sophia have no reliance. What do you think?" Hilary didn't dare t

    "Sophia, you are insulting our character by treating us as impure and scum. We will not let you go for this!" John slammed his teacup on the table. Hilary also chimed in, "Sophia, you don't look down on us, do you?""John, Hilary, please tell Uncle Michael and Uncle Ethan after you go back, for the long-term prosperity of Hughes Group, we will no longer follow the path of family inheritance," Sophia had made up their minds, and John and Hilary glanced at each other and didn't drink their tea anymore. John glanced at Daniel and saw that he was playing with his phone, looking carefree.He said, "Sophia, Daniel can't be by your side all the time. Many bad people are investing in Jango Island. Aren't you worried about this?"A blatant threat!He Luo added, "It's better to have family members by your side, at least they can share your worries and solve your problems for you." Sophia smiled faintly, "The one standing is my bodyguard, and the bodyguard fee is paid by Daniel.""What? Daniel,
