During the day, after a tense night of trying to convince Liliana. William suddenly received a call from Daniel. His men, whom he had ordered to infiltrate the Kingslayer family residence."What is it Daniel? How dare you call me," William said."It's urgent, sir, I think I need to deliver this immediately," Daniel said."Ethan Kingslayer and Iriana Kingslayer are moving to the city of Litusia the day after tomorrow. Not only that, they are ready with a myriad of plans to obtain the wealth you are hiding," Daniel said.For a moment, William was surprised that his uncle and his wife were moving so quickly. But no matter what, he had to be prepared for conditions that could change drastically in a short time."So they're really after my father's wealth. That's good information, Daniel. I have confirmed the purpose of those two rotten people. All I have to do is arrange a time to fight them," William said."You better be careful, sir, because they have hired an assassin as well." Daniel
Emma was surprised to hear Liliana's confession. Her eyes looked sharply at her children, searching for the truth in every expression on their faces. "What's all this about? William wants me to go with him? Betray Ethan?"Michael replied firmly, "Mom, we know this is a difficult and confusing time. But Ethan and Iriana are not good people. They will continue to use you as a tool. People like them are never to be trusted. And here, William not only wants to stand up to his uncle, he wants to save us all from the destruction they will cause.Liliana added, "William has big plans to destroy his uncle's evil and he needs us. He needs your support, Mom."Emma's feelings were mixed. She wanted to feel free, but her fear of Ethan made her hesitate. "What should I do?" she thought, trying to control her emotional turmoil.The inner turmoil was overwhelming. On the one hand, Emma wanted to live a quiet life with her family without having to fear the terror that could come at any time. Emma rea
"I pushed this talk of William's wealth aside so that you wouldn't be distracted by your decision, ma'am. If I had brought it up sooner, we would have just been arguing about the truth of the treasure and would have been stuck in confusion," Liliana said.With a very genuine smile, Liliana continued, "It's a relief that you were able to think clearly and make the right decision, ma'am. I honestly don't know what I would have said if you had chosen to side with Ethan and Iriana.Michael breathed a sigh of relief, "Now all we need to do is talk to William and discuss our next move."Liliana called immediately to inform him that she and Michael had successfully convinced her mother. William quickly responded to the message and invited the whole family to a meeting at his home. William also shared the news with Charlotte and Arthur as head of the family.That evening, the Lysander family gathered in their living room. William sat at the head of the table and led the family meeting with a
The day had finally arrived for Ethan and Iriana Kingslayer to move into the city of Litusia. The Lysander family, who had been preparing since the day before, was disappointed to see no movement from them. The day passed with a strange calm, like a sunny day before a violent storm.One afternoon, a letter arrived at the Lysander family's residence. And as before, it was received by the guard. William, who was on the porch at the time, was hurriedly approached by the caretaker and handed the letter, which was neatly wrapped in a brown envelope.The contents of the letter were nothing less than an official invitation to attend a charity auction. The event itself was created to help children who were victims of the war raging in a distant land. From what was written, the invitation mentioned that the event was not only about the auction, but also a party and a fundraising event.Everything seemed normal until the end of the letter, when William was a little surprised. There was Ethan Ki
Mathew, who didn't really understand complicated things, asked, "What's wrong with these reports? As far as I can see, there is nothing wrong. The money from the auction will go to an international humanitarian organization, and from that organization, the proceeds will be given to the children of war victims.""There is nothing wrong with the plot. But do you know who is the leader behind the scenes of this organization?" Xavier asked everyone. After making sure that no one answered, he continued, "The main advisor of this organization is now Iriana Kingslayer, her position is higher than the leader of the organization. And this is hidden information that is not known to the general public."So you're saying that the money from the auction will end up in Ethan and Iriana's pockets? And this auction event is just a front to make more profit?" Mathew asked."Exactly. If tonight's auction is branded as a charity for war-torn children, then people won't think twice about spending their m
William, with a calm face, motioned for his mother-in-law to pick up the phone and said, "Do whatever he tells you to do, Mom. We're going to trap him using the plan they came up with themselves."Emma swallowed, trying to find courage under pressure. Trembling, she finally answered Ethan Kingslayer's call."How are you, Emma?" Ethan's voice sounded calm over the line."I’m fine," Emma replied cautiously."You must have received our invitation to the auction. Can I expect the entire Lysander family to come?" said Ethan in a tone that sounded very hopeful."Yes, we'll be there," Emma replied, trying to hide her anxiety."Ahh...don't forget to bring my dear nephew with you." Ethan said in a threatening tone."Of course, we'll bring William as well. I'll drag him along if he refuses," Emma Lysander said.Ethan chuckled and then said, "Very good, Emma. I'll prepare a special VVIP seat for the Lysander family to sit next to me."After a few more words, Ethan ended the call. Emma stared at
William held back his anger, knowing that making a scene in this place would only hurt his family. He nodded briefly, but the look in his eyes remained sharp, reflecting anger.They took their seats, but the atmosphere remained tense. Shortly after the Lysander family took their seats, the auction began as the stage lights shone on the main stage. Live music echoed throughout the room, creating a festive atmosphere and spirit of celebration. The guests packed into the room began to get excited about the performances they were about to witness.The city's famous singer opened the show with her melodious voice, playing soothing and comforting songs. Shimmering spotlights accompanied the singer's every move, creating a stunning stage effect.Not only that, but a magic show by a famous magician from the city also mesmerized the audience. Applause and cheers could be heard every time the magician performed an amazing magic trick. They were transported to a world of magic and wonder that te
Ethan and Iriana raised their hands, signaling to the auctioneer to remove their personal collectibles. They took this step to prevent imminent losses. The pace of the auction was very slow, beyond their expectations. Although there were many people bidding, the prices offered only covered the capital of the items, not the capital of organizing the event, and clearly did not provide any profit at all.At Ethan and Iriana's signal, a luxurious curtain opened to reveal rows of luxurious and rare items neatly arranged on a podium. The invited guests marveled at the beauty and uniqueness of the items.But it wasn't those two things that captivated the visitors. Rather, the items displayed on the podium were rare items that had disappeared from the world. The audience muttered about the collectibles."So all this time, they've been keeping it. No wonder the jewelry is no longer seen anywhere," said an invited guest.""Oh my! My dream of owning this sword is finally coming true. I didn't ex
