Marco Ivanov trembled worse than when he was shivering with a violent fever. His eyes were fixed with intense fear as he stared at Edward.'So he is the mysterious Mr. Steel? I'll surely die if I don't find out soon,'He leaned a little closer to Edward and hurriedly said: "Mr. Edward, I'm cursed, I'm cursed! I promise I will solve this problem."A chairman like Thomas Brown was enough for him to kneel down and curry favor, and the Marcos family in Edward Steel's power was a supreme existence that made him invisible, and he had to look up all his life.But now, he doesn't know if he can still live, and directly offended the young master of the Marcos family.Thinking of this, Marco Ivanov fixed his eyes on Edward, his legs softened involuntarily, and he knelt in front of Edward, and said with trepidation, "Mr. Edward, I'm sorry, I didn't know she was your mother-in-law, I'm really feeling confused, I apologize to you! Please forgive me!"Everyone present was dumbfounded, seeing Marco
"I don't have relatives like you. You are not my friend either. I have no grievances, no grudges, but you taunted me repeatedly, and even hit me. Now you're asking me to save you? Wake up, and don't dream!"Julian Caldwell instantly felt weak and cried. "Edward, I really know that I have done you wrong. Please help me."Seeing Edward's unhappy expression, Marco Ivanov immediately shouted at his men. "Damn it! Why are you guys doing nothing? Why aren't you doing what I told you to do, huh? Are you looking for death?"Some of his men were immediately shocked, and hurriedly grabbed Julian Caldwell's neck and hair, until a crunching sound was heard.The bystanders looked horrified at the scene. Some covered their faces.Julian Caldwell's mouth was instantly full of blood and some of his teeth looked broken, but Marco Ivanov's men did not stop. Every slap they delivered was hard.Marco Ivanov asked Edward with a smile, "Mr. Edward, are you satisfied with this treatment?"Edward nodded: "Ok
Roselyn starred in surprise at her husband who looked shocked after she told him about Diana Blunt, her friend, working at Marcosta's company."What is it, Ed? Do you know anything about Diana?" Roselyn asked."No." Edward tried to turn his tense face into a more relaxed one. "I was surprised, because I thought the Marcosta company only hired competent employees. As I remember back in college, even his academic grades were very poor."Roselyn chuckled while shaking her head. "Honey, Diana was only with us for a year, after which she moved to an overseas college. Who knows, her brain might turn out to be brilliant there."Edward nodded with a smile. "You're right. Why don't I think in that direction?"Since it was already very late, the couple went to bed. Edward, who felt tired after a long day of accompanying Lily in front of the insurance company, fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. There was no romance tonight.The next day Edward woke up with a better body condition th
In the afternoon, Edward was done with his business at Marcosta's office."Roselyn said earlier that she wanted me to pick her up at the Cozy Corner Cafe." Edward looked like he was remembering. "Alright, I'll just go now."As usual, Edward would replace the expensive suit he was currently wearing with a cheap suit.From his private room there was a special elevator door to the basement where his car was parked. "Are you going home now, Chairman?" asked Emily who happened to be in Edward's room."Yes, I have to pick up my wife," Edward replied as he straightened his suit."Very well. Have a safe trip," said Emily.Edward stepped into his special elevator to the basement area. He went straight to the Cozy Corner Cafe to pick up his wife who was currently talking to Diana Blunt, a woman whom Edward suspected of having a hidden purpose for choosing to work at the Marcosta company, even though the company owned by the Blunt family was a giant company, although it still could not exceed t
At this moment, Alan who was standing beside Briel looked so surprised and said: "Briel, you can actually rent the most luxurious dinner venue in Imperial Blossom Resort? This isn't something ordinary people like us can book."Briel smiled triumphantly, then whispered to her elder brother. "To be honest, the person who has been negotiating to be able to rent the luxurious place at the Imperial Blossom Resort is Kyle, my boyfriend. There's no way that I can actually book it. I am nothing. Having a lover who comes from the second richest family in the town of Riverside, we should definitely take advantage of it, Alan."Alan looked around the place. "Then where is Kyle?""He said he wanted to go to the washroom," Briel replied in a whisper."In that case, don't tell anyone that your lover is behind the rental of the fine dining venue at the Imperial Blossom Resort," said Alan."Why?" asked Briel in confusion.Alan snorted rudely at his little sister's late-thinking brain. "Have you forgo
Edward still remained calm in his demeanor. He said, "I'm not leaving and I'm not changing my clothes either."Angela widened her eyes. This was the first time she had an ignorant visitor like Edward.Actually it was not that that made her feel so upset. It was the request of the Resort owner who asked her to come down directly to welcome the guest who was said to be an honored guest. But in fact the guest who appeared was even just a man with a low appearance.Angela let out a harsh singh. "Before I take action to call all the security guards in this resort, you should gracefully leave this place."Diana gave Angela a sharp look. "Miss, your attitude is really outrageous! This is our last request. Please let us in!"Angela replied in a firm tone. "I apologize, but the rules cannot be changed."Briel, sarcastically, said, "Insolent! I saw you looking like this. I bet that you can't even enter the doors of the Imperial Blossom Resort, let alone book the most luxurious place there."Edw
While Angela quickly wanted to retreat after hearing her superior's words, the man named Marco Ivanov rushed over, grabbed her by the collar, slapped her across the face with a punch, and cursed, "You really are a rotten son of a bitch! You even dare to offend the young master. You really are blind, blind eyes!"Angela fell to the ground from the slap, she said tearfully, "Boss, forgive me, I'm blind, please spare me this time! I don't know who that man is."Now Angela, immediately knelt together in front of Marco Ivanov."Forgive you for making me almost embarrassed in front of the young master?" Marco Ivanov instantly grabbed Angela's hair and pulled her face up, then hit the beautiful face with a fist. The woman was instantly knocked to the floor.With one punch and another from Marco Ivanov's hand, the woman's face was already full of blood.Marco Ivanov turned to Angela who was now on the floor. "You want to make me die silly, huh? Before that happens, I'd better kill you first!
Erick, who was standing beside Alan, sighed. "Alan, your reputation is huge. I think he seems to be the one next to Mr. Ivanov. It seems that Mr. Ivanov attaches so much importance to you that he sent Dante Moretti who is his confidant to serve you. Do you know Mr. Moretti? Didn't you hear him? Yes, you are really humble."Alan laughed and said with a satisfied face: "No need to show off this kind of thing. It's better to stay humble! Hahahaha!"Diana was a little surprised.Unexpectedly, Alan really had connections in the town of Riverside, compared to Edward, who was much stronger.It seemed that in the future if she walked into the town of Riverside with Alan, it would be much more convenient for her daily activities. At least Alan would be able to be asked for help if she was in danger.So Diana thought.Danger? What kind of danger was Diana in?Dante Moretti, the man in black, respectfully led everyone to the room with the diamond box menu.After that, he took out the list, hande
A maid was seen walking towards the indoor swimming pool inside the Marcos mansion.“Young lady, here are your bathrobes,” said the maid.“Thank you,” Maria said, and exited the indoor pool.She dried her body, then exited the indoor pool area on the first floor. While walking in the corridor while playing with her cell phone, she accidentally collided with a maid until the maid fell down.“Oh, sorry,” she squealed. But suddenly she was surprised because the maid was crying. “What's wrong with you? Did something happen?”The maid just shook her head while occasionally looking at Maria. But soon she fainted.“Oh my God! Why did you faint?” squealed Maria. As her hand pulled off the mask covering the maid's face, she was instantly startled. “Roselyn?”She immediately called for a bodyguard to take Roselyn to the guest room on the first floor. He quickly carried Roselyn to the guest room, while Maria followed with a worried look on her face.After 15 minutes, a doctor arrived and immedia
Jason pulled the trigger in desperation, hoping the bullet would penetrate Edward's defenses.Edward closed his eyes as the bullet struck his body. Surprisingly, the bullet only pierced through thin air and staggered his body without any significant effect.Edward, still standing tall. Ivanov, who was about to push Edward, was now frozen in place.Edward himself was astonished that the bullet could not penetrate his body, like shooting a rock.Edward said to himself, 'This must be the power of The Arcane Codex of the Seven Heavens. Really great,'Jason was shocked and further cornered. Cold sweat ran down his forehead as he saw Edward's unwavering expression of confidence.Edward approached with calm steps, and as Jason tried to move back, Edward paralyzed him with one swift movement.“This is for my brother who you killed,” Edward said angrily. He pinned Jason against the wall and pressed him down with impressive force.“And this is for my mom's tears, and for Maria, my sister, who a
Edward, and everyone present turned their heads towards the person standing. She was Roselyn Johnson, the representative of Tarwar Construction Company.Edward's body trembled as he saw the woman he was still married to standing and staring at him. What surprised Edward was her pale face.Slowly but surely, the people present began to stand up, even until all 40 company representatives stood up.The sound of applause slowly began to be heard as the representatives sat down again. Amidst the anxiety and worry, they had high hopes for Edward.“I thank you for your trust. I will make sure that you will never regret the decision you all made,” Edward said. His heart was deeply moved.The meeting came to an end. Everyone who had come had begun to leave the hall with determination and hope for something better.After the meeting was over, Roselyn stood with an indecisive feeling. There was a sense of relief to see that many company representatives chose to support Marcosta, but on the other
Tension was in the air. On a stage, there was a long table with five chairs. Edward sat in the center. This time there were no sunglasses, masks or dim lighting.Edward stood proud and dignified as Mr. Steel. He wore a black suit that exuded firmness and power.In front of him, Marcosta's top brass, business associates, and media awaited with anticipation. This was the moment where he, as Mr. Steel, would show the world who he was and how he would lead the company that his grandpa had inherited, well.With a deep breath and a keen eye, Edward began his remarks. His voice was firm and full of conviction, every word he spoke containing a power that could not be ignored.“Today, I, whom you know as Mr. Steel, stand here not only as the principal heir to the Marcos family, but as a leader determined to maintain the honor of the family and this company. The Marcosta Company has been a symbol of excellence and integrity for decades, and I will ensure that it remains where it belongs.”Cheer
The next morning, a slow drizzle of rain fell, soaking the ground that had been prepared for Salvour Marcos' final resting place. The overcast sky seemed to mourn him, adding to the somber atmosphere that surrounded the morning. A deep sense of loss emanated from every drop of rain, as if nature also felt the departure of such a precious figure. In the midst of this sorrowful atmosphere, Salvour Marcos' body would soon be buried, leaving unforgettable memories for those left behind.Edward was still standing on the balcony of his room when Maria entered. Maria took her brother's hand and rested her head on Edward's shoulder.“Grandpa doesn't need your regrets,” Maria said, trying to revive her brother. “He needs you to stand up and show your strength. The company is in crisis and needs you to take action, Ed. And one more thing, don't keep blaming yourself.”“I know.”Robert entered after he knocked on the door first. Everyone was dressed in black this time.“We leave now for the cem
A black sedan darted quickly through the deserted streets of the Town of Riverside. The rain was falling gently, like a whisper of sorrow that enveloped the night. The drops that fell from the sky brought a sense of sadness, as if nature was mourning the passing of Salvour Marcos, the revered patriarch of the Marcos family. Every drizzle that touched the ground was as if it were the sky's tears crying for the departed figure, making the dark night even more somber and silent.Inside the car, there were three women lost in their own thoughts. Lily, who was behind the wheel, tried to remain calm, even though her heart was raging. All she had in mind was a way to reconcile Roselyn and Edward. They must not get divorced.In the slow-moving car, Roselyn sat silently with a blank look, occasionally wiping her face with a tissue, wiping away the tears that continued to flow despite her best efforts to hold them back. Her face looked pale, and inside her, there was an inner battle that nev
Edward looked in the direction of the voice. It was Maria.“I called you many times, but the operator always answered,” Maria squealed. “I remembered that you were going to see your wife, so I followed you here.”“But she didn't believe me, Maria.” Edward looked still depressed. “I had to go after her.”“No, Ed! Listen to me!”“No! I must go after Roselyn. She must see this evidence.” Edward's face was red with the pressure-filled frustration of his problems with Roselyn going crazy.“Stop dwelling on your personal problems, Ed!” Maria yelled at the top of her lungs and began to get carried away. “Snap out of it! Don't keep drowning in your own personal problems and ignore what's far more important.”Edward was in a daze. But my wife-”Soon a loud slapping sound was heard, followed by Edward's body being slammed to the floor with a bang as well.So annoyed with her brother's sudden stupid and annoying behavior, Maria slapped him hard.Edward was silent for a moment. There was a sense o
“Turn around! Get to Marcosta's company right now!” Robert ordered the driver sternly.“What's wrong, Robert?” asked a surprised Maria.Robert told her the news he had received from Emily Algren's men. The woman had even been admitted to the ICU of Elite Serenity Hospital, which was located not far from Marcosta's company building.By now, the car Robert and Maria were traveling in had arrived at Marcosta's company.“What happened? Why isn't there an escort for Miss Algren?” Robert asked in a high tone of voice due to emotion.All the security team as well as Miss Algren's bodyguards could only look down because they felt they had failed. Only one of them dared to speak because he was the one who found her lying on the floor of his office covered in blood.“So Alexander did it?” asked Robert.“Yes, sir.” The bodyguard nodded with certainty. “He was seen walking fast and did come out of the emergency exit. He said he was in a hurry and we believed him. We thought there was an intruder.
Currently at the Marcosta company, the clock was only 11pm.A black Porsche Panamera, which all employees knew belonged to Alexander Marcos, was seen entering the company yard and stopped in front of the company lobby.“Good afternoon, Mr. Alex,” greeted the security guard at the lobby.“Good afternoon,” Alex replied in a friendly manner. It was uncharacteristic.The security guard was surprised, but ignored him.Alex continued to walk into the Marcosta company building with seemingly calm steps, even though the trembling inside him continued to haunt him.He still remembered Jason Falcon's threat that was still ringing clearly in his mind, making his every step heavy.Alex walked with his heart saying, 'I have to finish this right now,'Alex kept convincing himself that what he was about to do was right. The safety of his wife and children was his top priority.'I can't imagine what Jason would do to me and my family. Ah, damn it! Why didn't I think about the consequences of joining
