(THE NEXT MORNING)"I hope you've been well during the whole week." Mark greeted as he flashed a mischievous smile at Ma'am Elizabeth and Rodrigo.The two had unexpectedly met at the entrance of the court that morning and there was surely some tension. But Mark being who he was wouldn't miss the chance to tease Ma'am Elizabeth.He knew Ma'am Elizabeth might be ignorant of what he was capable of doing, but he was sure that her husband wasn't the same. The man knew for sure what he was capable of.Ma'am Elizabeth's heart shook seeing Mark's smile but she quickly hid it as she glared at Mark."I too wonder if your week has been good so far." She smiled, unwilling to give up."Well, it's been good, but then constantly having to escape from death is such a tiring thing." Mark sighed.Ma'am Elizabeth's brow furrowed as she stared at Mark but she didn't say anything."Let's say maybe it's because the death isn't competent enough that was why I was able to escape." Mark frowned as he added a
"I hereby order all Ma'am Elizabeth's assets frozen and the inheritance she forcefully collected be returned to the rightful owner." The judge passed his verdict as he hit the gavel on the wooden table."The rest of the verdict would be passed next week on this same day." He continued before anyone could say anything."This is the end of today's session.""Arise." The Bailiff called out and immediately everyone in the court stood up.After the remaining legal proceedings, everyone walked out of the Courtroom. Michelle was beaming with a smile as she looked around for Mark. But no matter how she looked she couldn't see him anywhere which confused her a lot."Don't worry, the young master will be here soon." Alfred smiled as he comforted Michelle who seemed to be uneasy because she couldn't see Mark.Michelle had no other choice but to nod and continue to patiently wait for Mark to come. Even though she was kind of stressed out, she still wanted to wait."I see, you have no chance of tu
"Young master, what do you think we should do about the four families?" Alfred frowned as he looked at Make who was taking a look at the papers in his hand.It was already nighttime and Michelle had already gone to bed as Mark told her he wanted to take her to a place the next day which made her go to bed rather early.Mark frowned as he listened to Alfred. He had asked Alfred to launch a massive attack on the four families and it seems like they had recovered even though they might have not recovered properly.He had already finished the virus program he was creating, all he needed to do was to inject it into their systems and it was going to end. Mark was going to make sure to destroy the four families without any mercy.There was no way he was going to keep them. They were like a thorn to him and would injure even more people as time went by. If not for the fact that the Smith family had surrendered at the right time, he would have finished them off, erasing them from the face of t
"Young master, what do you think we should do to the four families?" Alfred frowned as he looked at Mark who was in a rather deep thought.It was already nighttime. Michelle is tired of the workload and goes back to sleep immediately leaving Mark and Alfred together."We are going to crush them all at once this time." Mark smiled as he looked up, his eyes flashing with ruthlessness and determination. there was no going back. He was already here so there was no way he was going to back away.Alfred was quite shocked at Mark's reply, but still, he didn't say anything and modded."Unleash all of our forces, it's time to tell the world that the Clarkson family is still alive and they are still as strong or even stronger than then they used to be." Mark smiled.Alfred knew that in the face of their full strength, the four families wouldn't be able to do anything. Mark had just been playing with them all along and now it was time for the real battle.Mark on the other hand didn't plan on sl
(AT THE FOUR SEASONS HOTEL)Four old men sat around a table as they laughed and cheered with each other while looking at the news.Looking closely at the men, one would see that they were the heads of the four families who fled from the city. They were all hiding here as they expected Make to fall into their trap."I can't believe the Clarkson family fell for our trap." One of the old men laughed as he drank bks beer."I told you, the young master of the Family is greedy and would surely follow our plan." Another of the old men laughed and the other three couldn't help but feel delighted.It had taken careful deliberation before they were able to come up with the plan of fooling the Clarkson family in such a way. They were quite confident that they weren't going to notice and that the person who might have noticed was the old butler.But then it seems like the old butler didn't notice. But then even if the old butler noticed what could they do? Refusing to accept it meant they were a
(TWO DAYS LATER)"Mark, are you alright?" Michelle frowned as she stared at Mark who had dark circles under his eyes."I'm alright." Mark sighed as he turned over to continue sleeping.He had been working for over the past two days and hadn't had a wink of sleep. Although, he eliminated the threat created by the four families. He had also taken care of the four families themselves.But that didn't come without a price. They also had to lose some things and he had to sacrifice toe days' worth of sleep just to accomplish it. He had also visited the company he had collected from Ma'am Elizabeth and made quite some changes so he felt it was time to sleep.Also, Michelle had been taking good care of her mother's company and there had been improvement which he was quite happy about. But then he had to sleep. Since he came back the night before, he had been sleeping and this was already noon of the next day and he was still sleeping.God knows why Michelle didn't go to work that day and came
A smirk appeared at the corner of Mark's mouth seeing the assassin approach him at full speed. He could guess what the assassin's intentions were and that was to make him his hostage so that he would be able to escape. What a bad thing that he had made the wrong decision.Just as he got closer to Mark, he aimed the knife at Mark hoping to intimidate him, but the latter smiled and evaded the assassin before kicking him in his torso.Before the assassin could react, he was apprehended by the man who had already caught up to him.Before he could do anything to take his life, they had already disarmed him rendering him incapable of doing anything else.Soon another car pulled up and Alfred alighted from the car. Seeing that Mark was safe he heaved a sigh of relief.Mark on the other hand ignored everyone and went to carry Michelle who had the king fainted due to fear."Interrogate him, make sure he confesses who sent him before next tomorrow," Alfred ordered getting into the car with Alex
