When Sophia had nothing to do, she received a call from Joseph."Hey, Joseph, where are you now?" Sophia asked, feeling concerned.'I'm in Ascot Ridge," Joseph replied."Is everything okay?" Sophia asked."No, it's not. I lost another 50,000 pesos in gambling," Joseph said."Where did you lose it?" Sophia asked."At the underground boxing arena in Ascot Ridge. At first, I won, but then the staff there told me that it was easy to win the Lamborghini if I kept playing. So I got greedy and bet a lot, but ended up losing. Now, I'm having problems with my daily life..." Joseph explained. Sophia’s face turned red with anger.She scolded him sternly, "Joseph, what you did was wrong!""Cousin, can you lend me another 50,000 pesos? I promise to listen to you and not gamble again," Joseph pleaded. Sophia was about to reply when Daniel took the phone from him and said, "Joseph, you're always asking your cousin for money. That's called freeloading. I suggest that your cousin should not give you a
At the moment, Sophia couldn't speak out. Feeling helpless, she turned to Pablo and said, "Pablo, I forbid you to recruit Joseph as your subordinate!""Sophia, this matter is settled. Don't say anything more," Pablo didn't give her a chance to speak. However, Sophia persisted. She knew that once Joseph joined The Black Hand, it would be impossible for him to leave. "Joseph, if you join The Black Hand, there will be no more cousin relationship between us. If you don't join, you can join the company back. The choice is yours."Joseph had already made up his mind. Being rejected by the pharmaceutical factory in the northern suburbs due to lack of funds was a great humiliation for him. If he joined The Black Hand headquarters directly, he could directly control the northern suburbs pharmaceutical factory and become the overlord, including Ethan, Camilla, and John. It would be the pinnacle of his life. "Cousin, I have decided.Even if you don't recognize me as yourcousin!"He wanted to sa
To show his power, he waved his hand, and Praise, Baldy, Scar, and several other small leaders walked up to him, bowing respectfully, "Hello, President!""Well, hello everyone! You all did a good job just now and didn't embarrass The Black Hand. Now, let me introduce you to a new core member of The Black Hand headquarters, the protagonist of this incident…”"Joseph?" Everyone asked in unison, some with incredulous expressions, and some with dissatisfaction."President, I have met Joseph before. He is idle and does nothing. I didn't even let him join the pharmaceutical factory in the northern suburbs, but you used him. This is not convincing!" Praise's face was full of opposition."Yes, President, you didn't use him properly."Baldy's tone was a bit unique, full of broken notes. Pablo had his plan, and his face gradually became unhappy: "Are you the President or am I the President? Once I have made a decision, it will not change again."Joseph stood there at first with some taboo, but
On the way, Jasper asked, "I wonder if there has been any improvement in my father's condition?""In another twenty days, Mr. President will be able to meet with your father, and his condition will certainly have improved." was the reply.Jasper laughed heartily upon hearing this, showing a sense of relief. Upon arriving at the presidential palace, Daniel and Sophia received an unprecedented level of reception. However, as they were in the presidential palace, Sophia was the one in her element. The reason was that Daniel had already explained to Jasper that he had come to the island to see his parents, but for their safety, they had to keep a low profile. Jasper agreed to this.That night, Sophia stayed in a hotel, with Daniel in the room next door. The nine countries, disguised and taking turns on guard duty, kept watch day and night. The next day, Sophia and Daniel went to the mountain valley county on the island under the guise of conducting an inspection. The county was the econo
Jasper pressed a button to select a floor and arrived at a room on that floor. He knocked on the door. The door opened quickly, and Daniel saw his long-lost mother. She looked older and less beautiful than before."Mom!" Daniel cried out, rushing over and bursting into tears. Mrs. Gordon patted his shoulder. "Don't cry, Daniel. How's your sister Raylie?"She's doing well, taken care of by Miss Grimwald. And your goddaughter Violet is also doing well.""Violet? Who is she?" Mrs. Gordon asked.Daniel was about to answer, but Mrs. Gordon apologized and said, "Mr. President, please come in, and let's talk."Jasper smiled. "Okay." Everyone went to the spacious living room and sat down. Jasper said, "Mrs. Gordon if I hadn't taken my father to Base Six for treatment this time, I wouldn't have met your son Daniel. When he asked about you, I told him about your situation in Jango County, which allowed you to meet again.""Thank you so much!""It's just mutual help.Daniel glanced around the l
Upon hearing that the research direction was cancer treatment, President Jasper was very pleased and applauded, "There are many cancer patients on Jango Island who cannot work and even have poor self-care abilities. It can be said that they are a burden on their families. If we can really develop these drugs, we will no longer need to import expensive cancer drugs. This is great news for Jango Island!"Sophia’s face showed a happy expression because President Jasper praise meant that Hughes Group would have a bright future in investments. Not only her, but also Daniel’s mom and Daniel were happy for her.Not long after, a voice came from the room where Reika was sleeping, "Madam Nora, I feel feverish all over my body!"Madam Nora quickly stood up and made a phone call, "Doctor Kennedy, come and give Reika a check-up.""Yes!" The voice on the other end was crisp and neat.Seeing that Madam Nora about to start another busy task, Jasper, Daniel, and Sophia exchanged glances and stood up
Nathaniel shook his head. "I don't know. I heard they came to Jango Island for tourism." Daniel thought for a moment. There were still many suspicious things. He had to keep an eye on them."Maybe they have a purpose for coming this time?" Daniel reminded.Nathaniel felt that it was unlikely. "I have been away from King City for more than four years, and I have no conflicts with these younger brothers. Do they still have opinions and want me to make way for them?"Daniel nodded. "I think we should be careful." Nathaniel always trusted his son Daniel. He smiled. "Okay, they will be here soon. You can secretly observe this matter.""Okay."About an hour later, several uncles from the Gordon family arrived, including Paxton, Preston, Kairo, and Nash. Paxton brought his daughter Kylie, and Nash brought his son Ryker. Many other people from the Gordon family did not come this time. They were still particular about the scene. They rode in an extended Lincoln, with new BMWs carrying their bo
Sophia followed Daniel's orders and prepared a chamber pot. Five minutes later, Rykar began to move his body and with a loud cry, he vomited everything in his stomach. This time, Gordon’s family had lost face. Not only did they fail to achieve their goal, but their people were also humiliated.Everyone was angry, but they couldn't express it."Let's go," Paxton didn't want to stay here any longer. After all, it was quite embarrassing. Preston, Kairo, and Kylie all nodded in agreement. Nash carried Rykar on his back, and the group left quietly.Daniel walked to Nathaniel's side and said, "Dad, they already know your hiding place. They may come to harass us again.""They also know my methods. It's unlikely they'll try the same thing again after failing the first time, Nathaniel replied."But we still need to be careful." Daniel reminded him."Okay," Nathaniel nodded.Daniel then asked, "Should we remind Archer to be cautious?'"Tell him, so he can be prepared," Nathaniel agreed.Finall
"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
As Daniel spoke, the nine planets relaxed and each found a seat to sit in. The service staff came in and asked them what they wanted, and then served them the highest-grade cigarettes, coffee, and tea from Jango Island.Every time they won, Daniel would hold a three-day feast to reward them, and they formed a habit of enjoying life."Does anyone have any requests? I'II write them down and report them to Young Master Daniel for his signature," said Korea, holding a pen in her right hand and a piece of paper inher left."I want the latest iPhone with the highest configuration," said Germany.'I want a luxury second-hand car, with a manual transmission, to practice my driving skills," said Uk, not wanting to be left behind.For a while, the hall was noisy.Finally, Venus handed the registration form to Daniel with a smile on her face. "Young Master Daniel, please sign here."Without even looking, Daniel signed his name with a big stroke of the pen and wrote the word "Agree" on it."Than
The Holy Flame is only referred to as suchwhen the Nine Countries and Daniel are on amission together. No one else has the right or knowledge to use that title."Malta, do you know where would be the best place to go this time?""We should go see Miss Morgana from the Chess Society. 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,
