If I were to tell Sophia the reason behind all this, my sister might be in danger. In Archer's eyes, my sister should be innocent and should not be involved in the politics of the family. If Raylie asks Zeke to find me, Archer will teach her a lesson."Daniel, I feel like you've changed! Changed! Is there anything you can't tellme?""No comment!" Daniel said again.Sophia was completely hopeless. Daniel was no longer the fool he used to be, and he dared to boss her around!"In the five years I've been with you, I've had enough. Let's cancel our engagement today!""Let’s divorce, we'll be done with each other. I'm no longer the useless son-in-law of your family!""Good, as you said. Let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau today."Sophia turned and went to her room, opened a cabinet, and took out a marriage certificate.At the sight of this certificate, she thought of her grandfather. It was her grandfather who insisted on presiding over this marriage. But what had she gained in the past
The weather changed suddenly, with lightning and thunder. The dark clouds pressed down, causing a sense of oppression in the Mountains."I have a cave here that I run. Daniel and Zeke, follow me," said Logan. The two followed Logan to a cave halfway up the mountain. Outside, the storm raged, but inside it was quiet. The luxury inside was no less than that of an emperor's temporary palace. There were three bedrooms, a living room, a bathroom, and a kitchen. The electricity was powered by hidden solar panels, which provided enough power for the cave. Any excess electricity was stored in a battery."Uncle Logan, when I led my men to capture you, were you worried that this place would be destroyed?" asked Daniel."Yes, Daniel. Can you guess how long I've been running this place?""About a year," Daniel guessed casually. "That's right, a little over a year. After running it for so long, I feel a sense of accomplishment," Logan replied.As they spoke, it started pouring rain outside.It wa
"Raylie, let me teach you some gun techniques for self-defense," Daniel said.Raylie nodded."First, you need to understand the structure of the gun..." Daniel patiently explained, and Raylie listened attentively, her bright eyes shining with a strange light. She learned quickly and mastered it in just an hour.They went outside the cave to test the gun."Raylie, there's a bird egg on the tree trunk. Aim at it and shoot," Zeke said from the side.As soon as Zeke spoke, Raylie raised her gun, and the black muzzle was aimed at Zeke, he was shocked.Not only Zeke but also Logan next to him was panicked. If the gun accidentally went off, Zeke would be in danger."Zeke, the bird egg has life. Why did you let Raylie use it as a target?" Daniel scolded. Zeke suddenly realized his mistake, laughed, and picked up a colorful stone, placing it on the highest point of a huge rock. Only then was Raylie satisfied, and the muzzle left him.After Zeke left, Raylie raised her gun again and aimed at th
Julie quickly walked over to Sophia and held her back. Sophia, let it go. We're all relatives. Why bother so much?As long as it hasn't caused the worst outcome, everything will be fine." But Sophia couldn't calm down. "Joseph must be removed from the company!""Sophia, he's your cousin!" Julie pleaded. "Although he's not very capable, he's still loyal to the Hughes family. You see?"Sophia softened a bit after hearing Julie’s words, but when she thought about how this matter would be settled so easily, the company would suffer in the future. So, she didn't give in at all."If we settle this matter like this, how can the company continue to operate?"Camilla and Ethan exchanged a glance, and he gestured for her to speak. Camilla also spoke up. "Sophia, the younger generation has made a big mistake, but please be understanding. Otherwise, we can also make a compromise. Although you are no longer with Daniel, he can continue to be your bodyguard, and we won't interfere."Sophia was mo
So, when Zeke brought Raylie back to King City Daniel was not worried at all."Raylie, tonight I will take you to meet someone," Daniel said."Who?" Raylie eyes lit up."A little girl, about your age, who just had heart surgery at the hospital. Her name is Violet.""Great!" Raylie couldn't contain her excitement. Since she met Zeke, Raylie had become happier. This made her realize that she should make more friends, otherwise she wouldn't be able to adapt to the fast-paced development of society.After dinner, Daniel rode his old electric bike and took Raylie to meet Violet. Before they left, Raylie bought a cloth teddy bear as a gift from a roadside stall. When they arrived at the hospital, Alex Robert had already received the news and personally greeted them at the hospital gate."This is Uncle Alex!" Daniel said to Raylie after parking the bike."Hello, Uncle Alex!" Alex's face lit up with a brilliant smile."Hello, Raylie."To protect Raylie's identity, Daniel had told Alex that
These leaders originally had their bodyguards, and some of them had planned to escape during the chaos. However, upon seeing the special forces team, they were all stunned in place. In the end, they were all handcuffed and taken to the main stage.They all hung their heads in despair, without the arrogance they had just displayed. Daniel continued to give orders."Those who confess will receive leniency.You can now confess your crimes and hand over any benefits you have received to reduce your punishment." Sure enough, one by one, these people hurriedly confessed their crimes. Among the more than ten people, many confessed, but the Minister of Finance Brent Brando, the Minister of Livelihood Corbin Clarkson, and Dawson Fallon knew thattheir crimes were too great and that confessing would not help them. They chose to remain silent."Take the suspects to the detention room and wait for further orders! Dismissed!" Randle commanded, and the special forces team took those people out of th
Under the curtain of the French window, a person suddenly appeared and kicked Samuel's hand."Ouch!" Samuel jumped in pain, his forehead covered in cold sweat."Hit me hard!" Samuel shouted repeatedly."Got it!" The group of people rushed towards Dong.Dong clenched his fists and kept moving his legs, obviously trying his best to protect Sophia.At first, Dong managed to take down three or four people, but then a young man who knew how to use leg sweeps arrived. Dong's advantage was in his hands, so he was accidentally swept off his feet and the others rushed forward to punch and kick him. Dong still had some strength left and exploded with power, kicking and punching at least five or six people to the ground. He then stood up, protected Sophia, and separated himself from Samuel.Samuel was furious: "Kid, do you want to eat a bullet?"He took out a handgun from his pocket and blew on the barrel.As he pulled the trigger, Dong flew forward and grabbed the gun, throwing it out of the
"Dong, come on!" Daniel pretended to be a little overwhelmed, staggering around.Young and impulsive, Dong replied,"Okay!"His hands turned into claws and he randomlyattacked the group of experts. This was the Gecko Fist he learned from Logan. He never thought of using it against enemies, but in this critical moment, he thought of using it against these ruffians.He had practiced on bricks before and could make five finger holes with each strike. These so-called experts were caught off guard and couldn't defend against his sudden and fierce attacks. Instantly, screams echoed and the experts fell one by one every few seconds.However, two experts who knew Eagle Claw Fist nodded to each other and attacked Dong from both sides. Dong's finger techniques were inferior to theirs, and his hands were held by the two men, leaving him unable to move. He could only use his less-skilled feet to kick.When Daniel appeared beside the two experts, he tickled them under their ribs.As they laughed,
