"Do you think you can scare me with your nonsense?" said the hotel receptionist as she picked up the phone, "but okay, I'll call the mayor's office. If your words are not proven, you will have to work here for two months without getting paid. Keep that in mind."The hotel receptionist then made a phone call to the mayor. Of course, it was not the mayor who answered the phone, but the staff of the Denriku City Government Office. Several times, William's name was mentioned in the receptionist's sentence. A few moments passed before the receptionist was connected directly to the Mayor of Denriku, Rudolf Ophiuchus.The receptionist's face originally showed a confident arrogance. There was no way an outsider like William would be able to recognize the mayor. But that confident face collapsed a few seconds later. From confident to flat to slowly pale and fading until she looked like a living corpse.The receptionist slowly hung up. She was stunned for a moment until she suddenly lowered her
Speaking on his knees, the assassin hired by James said, "We did not know you were coming here. Forgive us for trying to harm you, Lord of Shadows.Then he continued, "For our foolishness, we are willing to suffer any punishment from you.William knew that the cause of all this must be his father's ring. The assassins must have mistaken him for Raven Kingalyer, the former Lord of Shadow. Not wanting to waste the opportunity that had magically appeared, William tried to act like a lord."Stand up, all of you," William commanded.He did not expect that with one sentence the most elite assassins hired by James would immediately follow his orders without a single word of refusal."I'll spare you for now, because I need to get to the surface," William said.The leader of the top killers asked, "Then what are we going to do with these fools, sir?""ehmmm.... "While William was still thinking, James was thrashing around, begging for forgiveness, "William, please forgive me. Aren't we friends
The gatekeeper then opened the gate for William and Charlotte, who had just arrived home. They had not even set foot in the house before they were met with a terrible welcome. "Where have you been? I called you dozens of times and you didn't answer. How nice of you, Charlotte. Going two days without a word leaves all the work behind," Emma told Lysander. "I didn't leave any work behind, mom. It's all been taken care of by my assistants. They can't possibly cause any trouble because my paperwork is organized. So they should be able to do it easily." Charlotte replied. "That's what I mean about leaving work! You leave it to your assistants while you go and have fun. Don't you think because this scum worked for the Salazar Group that you can get away with anything?" Emma's anger boiled over as Charlotte began to contradict her. "And you think that's all you're doing?! Since you're not going to the Jaeger Company's birthday party, it's your job to take your younger siblings to find a s
"Where are you going, Charlotte?" asked Emma Lysander when she saw Charlotte all dressed up and standing at the front door."To the Jaeger Company's fiftieth anniversary party, of course, ma'am." Charlotte replied.Emma Lysander's face immediately turned red, "Didn't I forbid you to attend?""Is your mind so confused that you forgot you were forbidden to go?" said Michael."Father only forbade me to interfere. He didn't forbid me to be there." Charlotte argued.Liliana, who had suddenly come out of the house, cornered Charlotte, "Do you not understand what this means, sister? Are you really that stupid or an idiot?" Liliana's face showed a very condescending expression, "Not interfering also means you can't come, sister. Gosh, I didn't expect to be related to you."William could not bear to hear his wife being reviled by his own family, so he defended Charlotte by saying, "She did not come as a representative of the Lysander family. She came as my best man.Not stopping there, William
"Why are you out of breath?" asked Xavier, who suddenly appeared from behind the crowd.William and Charlotte looked at each other. Suddenly, there was anger between them. After a long search, the target they had been looking for had just appeared innocently, holding a glass of champagne in his right hand. Not only that, but a few crumbs of food were visible on the tip of his right lip. The signs clearly told us that while William and Charlotte were busy looking for him, Xavier was casually enjoying the party."Damn, I've been looking for you, Xavier." William said irritably."I even had to move High Hills to find you." Charlotte said."Hmmm, why were you looking for me?" asked Xavier.Charlotte replied, "I have nothing to do with you. The one who was looking for you was my husband, I was just helping him."William then threw a code to Xavier to say something so that his wife could stay away for a while. It would be dangerous for him to be seen commanding Xavier. For now, disguising h
"Hmmm..." Mr. Demiand coughed a little to draw attention to her, then said, "First, I would like to welcome you all to this evening. I know you are desperately busy taking care of business. That's why you came here, right? Am I wrong? Or are you so desperate because your business is slow? Hahaha...."Mr. Demiand was famous for his foul mouth and bad jokes. Most of the people who came to the party tonight already knew that, so they didn't mind. But it was different for the people who came and met Mr. Demiand for the first time. The impressions must have been different, but everyone who met Mr. Demiand for the first time would definitely agree that the person was nothing more than a freak with random behavior. William included."Haaahh....," Mr. Demiand let out a long sigh, "every year no one laughs at my jokes," he immediately looked sluggish.But a few moments later, he looked full of energy again, "But it doesn't matter. Even if none of you get my jokes, I'm not hurt at all.Mr. Demi
"Give the biggest round of applause to the SALAZAR GROUP," Mr. Demiand said in a loud voice.All the guests clapped as Xavier entered the stage. His body was shaking from head to toe. His heart was beating so fast that he felt like he wanted to break free and jump. But her nervousness was instantly dispelled when a loud clap from William landed on her shoulder."Let's just say everyone here is a vegetable," William said.Xavier was surprised to hear William's sudden words, how could he not be surprised, his master had suddenly asked him to consider all the guests in the room as vegetables. Although it sounded like a joke, William's words were completely true. Assuming that the hundreds of people in the Clover Hotel lobby were vegetables would give Xavier a psychological boost. His fear and worry could disappear in an instant.The effect of practicing William's words can be felt directly by Xavier. In his mind, each person in the room has a different head. There are tomatoes, carrots,
Less than five minutes after William and Charlotte waited outside the room, Xavier approached them with a happy face."That trick you told me really worked. I could barely contain my laughter when I shook hands with Mr. Demiand," Xavier said."Of course. Although it seems like a joke, my words are based on a psychological theory. I don't just say them at random," William said.Xavier then invited William and Charlotte to come with him, "Now come with me. We don't have much time.An increasingly curious Charlotte asked, "Tell me, Xavier. Where are you taking us?"Xavier looked surprised, "I told William we were going to meet Mr. Demiand.""What?! meet him in person?!" Charlotte immediately straightened her clothes as she limped after Xavier and William.When they arrived at the front of the room, two tall, black men stood at attention like trained soldiers. They were none other than the bodyguards guarding Mr. Demiand's private room at the Clover Hotel."These are Mr. Demiand's guests
