Daniel saw the countdown in the center of the pentagram finally change from 70 to 79, and his heart was filled with complex emotions.
He had left home and married into the smallHughes's family because of a promise, and almost no one knew about it except his father and a few close friends.And now, everything was finally coming to an end.While he was lost in thought, Sophia’s voice suddenly came from outside the door"Samuel?Why are you here?""I came to see Daniel. I heard he was almost hit by a car yesterday." Another voice with a teasing tone said and then pushed open the door directly."You see, I said he has good luck. Isn't this great?" Although he said so, Samuel’s eyes almost popped out.Yesterday, he had paid a lot of money to find someone to drive a truck and hit this waste.So when he heard that Daniel was okay, just unconscious, he was completely confused.How is this possible!?"Samuel? Are you so happy to see me? Your eyes almost fell out. " Daniel calmly spoke and also saw Sophia’s unhappy face.She bluntly said, "Since you're already here, please ask Mr. Maclean to leave."Yesterday, just because of a small argument, the other party had murderous intentions, and the instant action was enough to show his narrow-mindedness and cruelty. He couldn't leave such a person by Sophia’s side, he had to find a chance to get rid of him."What are you saying, you useless boy!My boss coming to see you is your good fortune!" Samuel smiled and said nothing, while his bodyguard beside him quickly shouted. Sophia’s face changed suddenly: "Samuel if you want to show off, go somewhere else. This is not your territory!"But as she spoke, she saw Daniel, who seemed to be scared into silence, with a hint of disappointment in her beautiful eyes. She could tolerate her husband being useless, but she couldn't stand him being a coward."Haha,Sophia, it's my subordinate who doesn't listen. Don't bother with him. You can rest assured that I will teach him a lesson when I get back!" Samuel’s eyes flashed with a hint of violence, but he laughed lightly after a moment. You, my friend, when you fall into my hands, I will see how I can play with you to death! His greed and violence were hidden deep in his eyes, and Sophia did not notice, but Daniel on the sickbed watched with great interest. This made his murderous intent even stronger."What's going on?Why do I feel a little cold?" The lackey who hadspoken before muttered, not paying attention, and still spoke with a flattering face, "Miss Hughes, I spoke too harshly just now, but I was just speaking my mind. What does he have that compares to my boss?" This sentence made Samuel very proud, but he pretended to be unhappy and said, "What nonsense are you talking about!" "Haha, the young master is right. I misspoke again!" The bodyguard lightly shut his mouth. And Sophia felt like her eyes were on fire."What do you mean, Samuel?Do you think I'm afraid of you?" She was about to speak, but her phone suddenly rang. "What's going on? I know, you guys wait for me, I'll be there soon!" She answered the phone and her face changed. She stood up and wanted to leave, but saw Samuel standing there with great interest, hesitating.Leaving Samuel together with Daniel, could there be any problem?"Sophia, is there a problem with your company? Do you need my help?" Samuel asked with concern. But Sophia coldly refused.This woman!Samuel seemed unaffected and continued to speak as if nothing had happened. "Then you go back first, I still have something to say to Daniel here.""This...Sophia hesitated. She was very worried and even suspected that yesterday's incident might have been done by Samuel in secret."Sophia, you go back first. I'm fine here, and this is a hospital," Daniel said timely, making Sophia finally step back. "If there is anything, remember to call me."Although she was not very relieved, the problem with the company was urgent, so she could only do so for the time being.Daniel agreed, and Sophia finally left, her footsteps a little hurried.The sound of footsteps quickly disappeared.At this moment, Samuel's face also completely darkened."You're really lucky, you can't even be killed like this!""I'm telling you, if you know what's good for you, get out of the Hughes family and disappear as far away as possible!" His disdain was evident in his gaze. He looked down on this waste who had always been occupying Sophia's attention. If it weren't for this pig's good fortune, or for that old man in the Hughes family, he would have had Sophia in the palm of his hand a long time ago!"Did you do yesterday's thing?" Daniel seemed to have just realized, looking at him incredulously. "You're playing with people's lives! The law will punish you!"His expression seemed unbelievable, full of shock. But after he finished speaking, he saw Samuel's smug expression, and the shock on his face disappeared in an instant, replaced by calmness."Did you want to hear me say that?"He seemed to be observing Samuel with great interest as if watching a clown."Are you trying to scare me?!" Samuel's face changed. He didn't expect this pig to have known all along. Now he felt like a clown!"Why didn't I know?"Daniel was calm, quietly looking at Samuel. Samuel's breathing suddenly stopped. He couldn't respond. From his perspective just now, he could have mocked and insulted Daniel without any restraint. But now, every word he said seemed to be mocking himself!"How dare you talk to my boss like that?!"The bodyguard's face turned vicious, ignoring Daniel's current condition lying in bed, and raised his fist to hit him!Samuel remained silent, even feeling a bit pleased with himself. He was indeed well-trained by his father, being so sensible! He had already arranged for someone to turn off the camera in this room, so there would be no problem no matter what happened today!It would be best to just punch that uselessPig to death!While he was feeling smug, Daniel didn't even bother to look at the thug's fist. This guy was asking for it! The thug was angry, but also secretly pleased. He was a skilled fighter, and if Daniel let his guard down, he could easily take him down without any problems. He knew how to handle this situation, and there would be no evidence left behind.But in the next moment, his eyes widened as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.A heart-wrenching pain swept through his body, making him scream in agony.However, his screams were cut short by Daniel’s swift kick, leaving him gasping for air and unable to make any sound.Outside, a few security guards were leisurely chatting. "Hey, why did Samuel Maclean have to marry Sophia Hughes? Isn't she already married?" "Erm, do you think Samuel is interested in her? If it weren't for the fact that79% of the funds and industries of the Hughesfamily are now in her hands, how could he be so enthusiastic?""There was a scream from inside, but why did it suddenly stop?!" "Probably someone stuffed something in his mouth. Who cares, there's no surveillance inside anyway.""Oh, just a useless person. I heard he doesn't even have any family, just an orphan...sigh, leave me a few, this cigarette is good, Samuel Maclean is something!""You! Weren't you crippled?"Samuel saw his bodyguard who had shrunkinto a shrimp, and then looked at Daniel, who slowly stood up from the hospital bed. He was completely dumbfounded.How could this fool beat a skilled fighter?"Who said I was crippled?It seems like you have quite a few people. " Daniel calmly stood up and saw that the person on the ground seemed to still want to struggle, so he kicked him directly and silenced him forever."You, you killed him!"A chill rushed from the soles of Samuel's feetto the top of his head, and he felt like he was dreaming.So decisive?!Is this really that useless person?!But in the face of Samuel’s questioning, Daniel did not react at all, just answered indifferently,"Is there a problem?"He could see that this person's hands were also stained with a lot of blood, and he had no mercy when it came to violence.He saw that Samuel still seemed confused, and said softly, "What's wrong with killing someone? Yesterday, when you tried to kill me, you were pretty skilled, weren't you?"Samuel couldn't say a complete sentence.Who do you think you are Daniel!?If I want to kill you, you should bow your head and wait for my knife to fall, or take the initiative to catch it with your neck!But how dare you kill my bodyguard!?He looked at Daniel bitterly, but when he saw his expression had not changed, his heart felt cold again.This indifferent look. There is no understatement of the importance of life. Could it be that he was an executioner before? At this time, he suddenly remembered that he knew nothing about Daniel at all!"But what?"Daniel said softly, "But how dare me?" He seemed to be a little impatient, and he walked towards Samuel faster, which made him frightened out of his wits, and quickly shouted: "You, you can't kill me!"His voice was a little loud as if he wanted to alarm the security guards. But he forgot that he had told them that no one was allowed to come in no matter the noise that came from the ward.The security guards probably thought he was r
"Just now, why was Sophia in such a hurry? Did something happen to the company?" Daniel didn't pay attention to what happened afterward."What do you mean by this?" Sophia’s cold face was full of incredulity. "Just because there was a problem with the dividends, you laid hands on my company?" She sat in a private room of a teahouse, looking at her relatives."What problem? It's one million dollars!" A heavily make-up woman shouted directly."Yes, cousin, this year's interests are not right. " Joseph saw that his cousin had encountered this situation and quickly expressed his position."Hmph! The car I wanted to buy is now ruined. Cousin, you have to give it back to me!" Others spoke up, and the scene suddenly became noisy."Enough!" Sophia shouted and calmed down the scene.But just a moment later."What's your name!" A girl of the same age as Sophia touched her beloved ring as if she had been frightened."Yes, Sophia, we just hope you can investigate properly and not let others take
"Daniel!”Sophia looked at the man in disbelief. She was familiar with his appearance, his voice. But what was strange was the hostility in his words.Was it for her?A hint of sweetness appeared in her heart."Daniel, do you have the right to speak here?Get out of here!"Before Maxwell could speak, Ethan spoke coldly.This fool was almost despised by the entireHughes family!Daniel hadn't spoken yet, but Joseph had already spoken anxiously, "He can't leave!Daniel, what did you mean by what you just said? Are you provoking us?"He wanted to put Daniel on the opposite sideof the entire Hughes family in his words and actions!Sure enough, many people were looking at him with unfriendly eyes.Yes, how dare this pig talk to them like that!"It's okay," Daniel comforted Sophia softly, then replied indifferently, "Did I say something wrong? You were all so united just now in speaking for Michael, I thought he was your father!"He suddenly turned to the silent Maxwell and said, "Isn't tha
"Sophia, are you going to cancel all their bonuses?"She was still hesitant. After all, those were her relatives! She was struggling inside."Are they going to stay for the New Year? Cancel all the bonuses except for Uncle Noah."Seeing her hesitation, Daniel knew that her weakness had surfaced again and made a decisive decision.Sophia hesitated but ultimately agreed to the decision.Then, she looked at Daniel and finally asked her doubts "How did your leg suddenly get better? And, why are you like this today...She felt that Daniel today was completely different from before, not caring about anything. When Daniel scolded Uncle Noah and others in the cafe just now, he was imposing.Thinking of this, she saw a glimmer of light in Daniel’s beautiful eyes.Is this Daniel’s true personality?But why did he hide it for five years?She thought of this, her heart was in a mess, and Daniel was a little uncomfortable andsaid, "Are you ready?"Ready for what?Sophia was a little confused, but
No one dared to speak until Daniel finished slapping Jeffery repeatedly. "Stop, stop!' Jeffery’s jaw was swollen, and he quickly begged for mercy. "Now tell me what's going on," Daniel demanded. Jeffery's eyes darted around as if he was thinking of another excuse, but Daniel didn't even listen and slapped him again. Daniel had no mercy because he was almost certain that this bastard was causing trouble. "Stop, I'II talk!" Jeffery's head was buzzing, afraid that Daniel would continue to slap him endlessly and he would end up in the hospital. "Daniel! What are you doing!" Suddenly, a voice rang out. The closed gate of the magnificent Hughes Group suddenly opened, and a greasy middle-aged man came out. He saw Daniel daring to hit a little boy and his face changed. "Daniel, our top priority is to protect our customers! What are you doing now? Do you want the company to make tomorrow's headlines!?"He spoke and directed several security guards to move forward. But Sophia’s cold voice so
Is that all settled then?" Sophia Hughes couldn't believe how smoothly things had been resolved."I spoke to them reasonably, and they understood," Daniel replied confidently."Speaking reasonably? But different people require different approaches," Daniel explained patiently. He knew that although Sophia controlled the entire company, she lacked experience in this area. "Some people will listen to reason, while others will only respond to force. For those people, you need to use force first before they will listen to reason.""However, there may be people who are truly in dire straits. Although they may be physically healthy, their families may be in desperate need of money. So before doing a good deed, you need to investigate carefully. Otherwise, you may be taken advantage of and end up being seen as a fool. Although I don't care about the money, those who truly need it may lose their last bit of hope."Sophia nodded repeatedly. No one had ever explained these things to her before.
Yes, young master!" A respectful voice came from the other end, extremely humble and polite.For the past five years, everyone had treated him like a useless person, just someone who knew how to sweet-talk and make Sophia happy, all while living off the Hughes family's wealth.But being addressed as "young master" was a rare occurrence. Suddenly hearing those words he hadn't heard in so long, a barely noticeable smile appeared on his lips, a sign of extreme confidence.Hanging up the phone, he continued to stroke Sophia’s hair.The secretary smiled at the lovely sight of Daniel who was patting Sophia’s head with love in his eyes.Before, she also thought Daniel was a freeloader, but today, he effortlessly resolved the matter of the Hughes family’s dividends and their partnership with Prince sheriffs to seize power. It was enough to blind her eyes!So in her eyes, Daniel had become somewhat mysterious."Mr. Daniel, would you like a cup of coffee?" The secretary poured two cups of coffe
"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
