The investment conference has ended, and everyone has their thoughts.However, the center of attention now is not anyone else but Mr. Adel and Asta.Arthur noticed countless eyes were still fixed on him, but they had now shifted to look at Mr. Adel.People were inquisitive about what was happening.How would Mr. Adel handle this situation?After all, they didn't see anyone from Mr. Adel's team take the stage to present the project.Mr. Adel's accusations against Asta may be true, or perhaps this is just a theatrical performance by Mr. Adel.However, many people leaned towards the first assumption.In any case, such matters were not uncommon, and the outcome mattered most.The winner would always be correct in this matter.The people around quietly discussed among themselves but were careful not to let these discussions reach Mr. Adel's ears.After all, they still had to bow in front of him.
Arthur looked at Michael and said, "In terms of general knowledge, I feel you should have a private tutor." As soon as Arthur finished speaking, he wanted to glance at Lance. Michael seemed to anticipate what decision he was about to make and hastily said, "No, no, I swear I will study diligently and not be distracted, even a bit. You don't need to find a tutor for me!" Especially not a tutor who seemed cold and fierce! Lance glanced at Michael without expressing any opinion. He was still busy working for Arthur, and honestly, he didn't want to be the tutor for this newcomer at all. Arthur didn't care and simply agreed with Michael's strong reaction: "Try to learn everything within a week, and you will start your official duties. Of course, you still need to improve during your work." A week was not enough to cover everything. Michael stood straight, nodding, and said, "I understand, Master!" Arthur nodded in satisfaction. The phone suddenly rang, and it was Mr. Adel calling
Arthur smiled as he looked at Asta, who seemed out of control. "As I mentioned before," he said.The door suddenly swung open just then, and one of Asta's assistants rushed in. Asta frowned, but before he could say anything, the assistant approached and urgently whispered something in his ear.Asta's eyes widened momentarily, displaying a chaotic mix of shock, disbelief, and anger.Almost instantly, he seemed on the verge of losing his composure. He lunged forward, grabbing a file from Lumie's possession.Lumie raised an eyebrow slightly, but at this moment, she was also curious about what the assistant had said to make Asta so furious and didn't pay much attention.Asta opened the file, and a loose sheet of paper fell to the ground, with several others still in his hand. These papers didn't seem to contain confidential company secrets—just ordinary documents that one wouldn't bother counting.Asta and everyone else were astonished to the point of being unable to stay calm. Stanle
Mr. Adel had no time to react to Lumie's speed and words.Lumie had darted in front of him in the blink of an eye.She opened her hand, and her fingers seemed strangely dyed black and razor-sharp.She intended to gouge out Mr. Adel's eyes, silencing him. Mr.Adel could only widen his eyes, facing the sharp hand approaching him.Just as Lumie's writing was about to touch Mr. Adel's eyes, she was suddenly stopped.Arthur grabbed Lumie's wrist, his cold eyes saying, "It seems you didn't notice me here, did you?"Lumie gritted her teeth, "Just a bug, not worth my attention!"Arthur raised an eyebrow, "Quite the confidence."Although he said so, his tone was mocking, lacking genuine admiration.On the other side, Asta and Stanley had retreated to the farthest corner of the room.Although Lumie might not kill them at the moment, they couldn't help but be cautious if the battle spread to them.S
Arthur's words seemed to trigger some kind of unlocking mechanism within Lumie.She became even more frenzied, and her cursed power was anything but ordinary.Fortunately, Arthur had infused his blood into the flames from the beginning, preventing potential complications.Fire and dark mist intertwined, causing the entire floor to tremble from their emitted energy.Arthur looked at Lumie and smirked, "Seems like you want me dead, huh?"Lumie frowned, "That's right. You should be buried here; it's for the best!"Before she could finish, Arthur, with astonishing speed, lunged towards her like a sharp arrow, catching Lumie off guard.Before Lumie could react, Arthur had already grabbed her by the throat and ruthlessly slammed her to the ground.Lumie's hands desperately grasped Arthur's hand around her neck but couldn't break free.She gasped, and as she cursed, a serpent-like curse shot toward Arthur's ne
At night, a dark figure slowly sat up in the silence amidst the ruins of the house. Raymond only felt his head numb, and no part of his body didn't ache.A painful groan escaped his mouth, and he quickly tried to stand up. He recalled his current situation—Lumie had been chased out of the house by Mr. Adel, and she even seemed to have gone mad, wanting to kill Mr. Adel. Whatever had happened, the entire house collapsed, and Raymond felt fortunate that he wasn't crushed to death.However, quickly, he would realize that this wasn't luck; it was just the beginning of all the suffering. At this point, he could be certain that Lumie had no way to retreat. And if Lumie had been abandoned, he, too, would have nowhere to go. He had almost lost everything.Thinking about this, Raymond's face became fierce with anger. No, he couldn't give up right now; perhaps there was something that could save him!Thinking so, he tried to stand up with all his strength. The pain made him frown; maybe
Lance entered with a severe and somewhat displeased expression. He looked at Arthur and said, "Master, we have a problem."Arthur looked at Lance and asked, "What's the matter?"Frowning, Lance said, "Things were supposed to go as planned, but this morning, the court suddenly reevaluated the feasibility of the case. Asta's case might be indefinitely suspended, and he's only remanded for a week for mandatory legal education."Arthur raised an eyebrow at that, and Michael behind him pushed up his glasses, speaking lightly, "In this case, perhaps we should go straight to court."Arthur tilted his head, looking at him, and smiled slightly, "You're right."Without further words, he stood up and told Lance, "Stay and take care of company matters. Michael and I will go to court."Lance immediately nodded.At this point, Michael and Lance no longer confronted each other. They might still dislike each other, but at least they wouldn't show it before Arthur.Arthur's car quickly rolled away,
In Arthur's car, Michael sat next to Arthur. Compared to Arthur's relaxed expression, Michael seemed displeased. He angrily said, "This is truly unreasonable! Does he think he has the right to do whatever he wants?!""Exactly," Arthur responded without a hint of sympathy.Michael tightened his jaw momentarily, glared at Arthur, and quickly regained composure. "Do you still want to help that general with talking? You should have been more assertive now; clearly, we are right."Arthur glanced at Michael and said, "No need for pleasantries. You don't bother maintaining camaraderie anymore."Michael hesitated and quickly laughed to smooth things over, "We're already close enough. No need to maintain camaraderie, right?"Arthur looked out of the car window, unresponsive to Michael's words. After a while, he spoke lowly, "I wonder how much you know about General Case."Michael didn't understand why Arthur suddenly asked that. After pondering momentarily, he said, "I don't even know who
