William and Charlotte stared at each other for a moment before William finally spoke up, "Who was the guest? Did he give a name or what was his purpose?"The maid replied, "The guest gave his name as Adam Radcliffe. He said he had some business to discuss with Lady Charlotte."Adam Radcliffe. The name came up again and created a tense atmosphere between William and Charlotte. Charlotte looked at William with a puzzled and worried expression. William himself was uncomfortable with Adam's presence in their home."Why does he want to see Charlotte?" asked William in a voice that sounded a little different now, full of uncertainty.The servant simply replied, "I'm sorry, sir, I don't know the details. He just said it was an important business matter.”William motioned for the servant to wait a moment while he spoke to Charlotte, "We must be careful. What business does he want to discuss with you? Are you sure you want to meet him?"Charlotte thought for a moment before answering, "I am no
William stopped the conversation with a firm gesture, creating a moment of tense silence between them. His eyes stared intently at Adam, Liliana and Charlotte, making it clear that he would not allow any business to be conducted that he did not want.Adam, Liliana and Charlotte felt a terrible pressure from William. Although he did not say so directly, William's decision was clear, he would not compromise anymore.William's aura became tense, as if his mere presence was enough to plunge the atmosphere of the room into an eerie silence. His piercing gaze and stern demeanor created the presence of a ruler, making those around him feel an inexplicable burden.William's every move, whether it was a stare or even the raising of an eyebrow, felt like a threatening wordless message. The room, which had been full of conversation and life, was now transformed into a stage show where William was the lead actor in complete control.Although he didn't say anything out loud, William's gripping pre
William noticed his wife's regret, then gently stroked Charlotte's cheek, "You don't need to look back, Charlotte. What's important now is that you keep trying to be better. That's enough for me."Slowly but surely, silence returned to the room. William and Charlotte sat together in the dining room filled with morning sunlight. Their table was decorated with fresh flowers, giving the air a sweet scent. Charlotte smiled happily as she watched her husband enjoy every bite of his breakfast.The breakfast Charlotte served looked so delicious, with colorful ingredients filling the plate and the tantalizing aroma of coffee. William's heart warmed as he saw the care and effort Charlotte had put into creating a special moment for the two of them."Mmm, this tastes amazing, Charlotte. You really are a master chef," William complimented, smiling as he ate another of Charlotte's dishes.Charlotte smiled back, "I'm glad you like it. Let's enjoy our time together, Wil
Emma frowned, "You're not kidding, are you, Liliana? Hurry up and call him and find out where he is." Once or twice Liliana tried to call Michael, but none of her calls were answered by her brother. Worry began to creep up on her, crawling out of her toes and sinking into her chest. Liliana then tried to reach some of Michael's contacts and close friends, trying to gather information about her brother's whereabouts. Meanwhile, an increasingly anxious Emma tried to calm herself. Moments later, Liliana received information that Michael was last seen leaving a popular nightclub in the city. This news made Emma even more anxious, as she knew how dangerous a nightclub environment could be. Without waiting any longer, the Lysander family headed to the nightclub together. They hoped to run into Michael or get some clues that might lead them to his whereabouts. "Let's go there and find Michael," Arthur said with authority. Together they set out to find Michael's whereabouts, briefly post
The Lysander family entered the living room of their home, a place where they usually formulated big plans for their business. This time, the room would be the stage for the discussion of a very important rescue plan.William took his place at the head of the table, his expression serious and pensive. "Now, let's try to organize the plan carefully. Edenwall Village is a dangerous place, especially with the Mafia involved. We need to think of every possibility."Arthur sat down next to William, "First, we need to gather all the information we can. I may be able to contact some of my colleagues to provide more information about the area."Emma, consumed by her fear, continued, "We should hire mercenaries to help Mihcael. Right now, please contact one of your acquaintances, dear. You must know such people," she begged Arthur.Liliana added, "Mom is right, we should hire a group of special forces for this. They dared to threaten this family. We will show them that the Lysander family is t
After talking to his family, William rushed to contact his colleagues, who were part of a small group that often helped him solve complicated problems. Jaguar, Xavier, and Mathew were the three people William could always count on in situations like this.Another person who should be in the group is Daniel. But with various considerations, William decided not to contact him. Considering that he was on an equally important mission, which was to infiltrate the Kingslayer family to get as much information as possible. William didn't want to disturb him, nor did he want to get his spy into a complicated situation that would derail his mission.William opened the door to his living room and left. He quickly put the four of them on a single phone line."It looks like I need a little help from all of you," William greeted earnestly once the screen was active. "I have an urgent situation. Michael has been kidnapped and taken to Edenwall Village, I need your help to rescue him."Jaguar, a man
William smiled slyly, "Kuro, you know very well that I can make your life very difficult if I want to. I'm sure Don Corleone doesn't want his affairs to be prolonged either. Therefore, you have two choices. First, take Don Corleone out casually and let him finish my business. Or second, I will make sure that every move you make will be monitored and your chances of doing business in the underworld will be gone."Kuro was silent for a moment, contemplating the options given by William. After a while, he finally gave in, "Okay, William. I'll talk to Don Corleone. But you have to promise that after all this we're even. I don't want to get into more complicated matters."William said in a flat tone, "You know I always fulfill my promises, Kuro. Don't waste this opportunity."William smiled with satisfaction after hanging up the call with Kuro. His expression radiated confidence and strength, showing that he had the situation well under control.But William's calmness was soon disturbed by
William walked calmly toward the front of the drug factory, which was disguised as a cattle farm. His steps stopped when two people who looked like workers stopped him.He tried to keep his composure, trying to adapt to the situation so as not to arouse suspicion. He watched the two workers blocking his way carefully, trying to determine if they were members of the security detail or just ordinary workers.Sternly, one of the two workers, a large man in dirty clothes, said, "Stop! What are you doing here? This is a restricted area for outsiders."William raised an eyebrow as if to ignore their warning. "I have nothing to do with the Kelian. My purpose here is nothing more than to take care of business with your boss."The other man, a blond laborer with a handkerchief over his shoulder, replied skeptically, "What boss? Why didn't he tell us?"William replied confidently, "Who else is your boss? Don Corleone, of course. I have a few things to discuss with him. Let me go in and finish m
