At that moment, hearing what the prince had just said, hearing all the questions and the strategic thinking and the eagerness to prove himself, the king's brother felt a wave of dark satisfaction wash over him.He nodded his head slowly, deliberately, his expression shifting into one of approval and what appeared to be pride in his nephew's initiative.Then he smiled - a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes but looked warm enough to fool a trusting young man who desperately wanted validation from a respected elder.His smile grew wider as he looked at the prince, studying the young man's earnest face and eager expression.Inside his mind, the king's brother was thinking with cold calculation: This is exactly, precisely what he really wanted from the prince all along.The boy was a fool - he had known that fundamental truth from the very beginning of their relationship. The prince had always been too trusting, too naive, too desperate for approval.And now, right at this very moment,

At that moment, hearing everything his uncle had just revealed about the Supreme King's alleged plot against his father, the prince's face hardened with determination and righteous anger.His jaw set firmly as he processed this information about threats to his father's throne and his family's legacy.“Well, no problem at all, Uncle,” the prince said with fierce conviction in his voice. “I'm going to do whatever you ask me to do, without hesitation or second-guessing.”His voice carried absolute certainty. “And you can be rest assured that I will keep the core details to myself and make sure that nothing sensitive literally leaks out inappropriately.”The prince nodded firmly. “Nobody who shouldn't know about this will hear about it from me directly. You have my word on that.”Then his expression shifted slightly, becoming more strategic as he thought through his uncle's earlier advice. “Yes, I will tell my close friends about my mission, just like you suggested.”He held up two fing

The king's brother could see the hurt and determination building in his nephew's eyes, and he knew the hook was set. Now he just needed to guide the young fool exactly where he wanted him.“But here's something important I want you to understand," the uncle continued, his voice taking on a tone of strategic wisdom. "You can literally tell your friends about what you're going to do. In fact, I encourage it.”He held up his hand as if to clarify. “I mean your close friends specifically. The friends that you know without any doubt would literally fight for you in battle, would literally have your back no matter what happens.”“You can literally tell them about your plans and your mission, and just leave the information with them. Let them know what you're capable of.”He paused, then added with calculated emphasis, “But whatever you do, don't allow your father to know about it directly from you. Not yet. Not until you've already succeeded.”The uncle began pacing slightly, as if thinking

At that moment, upon hearing what his uncle had just said about keeping their conversation private, about trusting him with sensitive information, the prince's chest swelled slightly with pride.His young face showed earnestness and sincerity as he responded to his uncle's request for discretion.“Well, Uncle, you know better than anyone that I can literally keep secrets,” the prince said with conviction in his voice. “You know I can literally maintain confidentiality when it matters.”He placed his hand over his heart in a gesture of solemn promise. “I'm not the type of person with a big mouth who runs around gossiping and spreading rumors to everyone I meet.”The prince's voice carried genuine pride in his character. “I don't carelessly open my mouth to say anything to anybody, regardless of how interesting or important the information might be.”Then he stood straighter, his posture reflecting the dignity he felt. “And that careful discretion is exactly why people in the court

His smile was cold and calculating.The king's brother paused, then continued with the most crucial part of his plan. “But here's the key element - I just want him to tell some people about his intentions. That's all we need.”He held up his hand, counting on his fingers. “I just want him to literally tell some of his close friends and confidants, his drinking buddies, his training partners, whoever he trusts.”His voice took on a mocking tone as he imitated what the prince might say. “'Oh, this is what I'm going to do to the Supreme King. This is how I'm going to challenge him. This is how I'm going to prove myself worthy.'”The king's brother's smile grew wider and more cruel. “I want him to brag about it to these people. To boast about his plans and his courage. 'This is what I will do, this is how I'm going to do it, this is when I'm going to strike.'”He clenched his fist for emphasis. “So that immediately when he tells some people - maybe his friends, his companions, anyone

At that moment, seeing the cold calculation in his master's eyes and hearing the treasonous plan laid out so clearly, the right-hand man felt a mixture of excitement and caution wash over him.He shifted his weight slightly, his voice carrying a note of confirmation as he sought to ensure he understood the full scope of what they were planning.“So, if I'm understanding you correctly, my lord,” the right-hand man said carefully, “we have absolutely nothing to worry about going forward? Is that what you are implying with this new strategy?”His eyes searched the king's brother's face for any sign of doubt or hesitation. “You're confident that everything will proceed smoothly according to our revised plan?”The king's brother nodded decisively, his expression radiating confidence and dark satisfaction. “Indeed, yes. We have absolutely nothing to worry about anymore.”He clasped his hands behind his back, adopting an almost regal posture despite still being merely the king's brother. “

At that moment, upon hearing what Dahlia just said, her mother immediately let out a small laugh and waved her hand lightly in the air, shaking her head again and again. She stepped closer to Dahlia, holding her shoulders gently, her expression calm and reassuring.“No, no, no,” her mother said softly. “That is not even it at all. You don’t need to be afraid of anything.” She paused, then continued in a more serious tone, “Even if I wanted to ask you for something, this is not even the right way to do it.”Her mother sighed lightly, her eyes softening as she looked at Dahlia. She explained that both she and her sister had simply been thinking about how long it had been since they truly spent time together as a family. Everyone had been busy, tired, and always in a hurry. Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months, without them sitting together, talking, laughing, and eating like they used to.“So we just thought,” her mother continued, “that it would be nice to have family time. At

At that moment, after hearing what his father had just said, something deep inside him shifted.For the first time since everything happened, he felt seen. He felt involved.His father was finally giving him an assignment one that mattered. One that connected directly to that lady Raymond was with today. And that alone made his heart beat faster. He couldn’t get any more satisfied than this. For a long time now, his father had practically refused to give him anything to work on, anything to carry the weight of, anything that would force him to exhaust himself. It was as if his father wanted him shielded from pain, from stress, from the ugly part of revenge.But today was different, today, his father was finally willing to share the burden.He lowered his gaze briefly, a slow breath leaving his chest. There was no way he was going to fold his hands and do nothing not after everything. Not after it was his son that was killed. That wound was still fresh, still bleeding silently inside h

At that moment, Jefferson’s grandfather stood frozen in front of the screen, but his jaw slowly tightened, the muscles on his face hardening as reality sank in. His eyes darkened, filled with disbelief and fury. For a brief second, it felt as though the room itself had gone quiet just for him, as memories of the past forty-eight hours rushed back into his mind.Forty-eight hours, two whole days he had stood there like a fool, he hadn’t eaten a proper meal. He hadn’t taken a single bath. He barely slept. His clothes were still the same ones he had worn when he first positioned himself near Flamefire Mountain, determined not to miss Raymond’s appearance. Rain, cold, hunger none of it mattered to him. All he cared about was catching that bastard the moment he stepped foot into Flamefire Mountain or coming out.But now, now the truth was right there on the screen.Raymond never went anywhere near Flamefire Mountain.Instead, he was here… laughing, flirting, dining comfortably with a woman

At that moment, upon seeing that Jefferson grandfather still didn’t say anything didn’t even react the atmosphere became unbearably suffocating. The man kneeling before him felt his heart pound violently in his chest. The silence was far worse than any slap or shout. It felt like a silent judgment hanging over his head.Slowly, he lowered himself even further until his forehead almost touched the cold floor by Jefferson grandfather’s feet.“I… I’m very, very sorry, sir,” he said again, his voice trembling badly. “I swear, I never knew it was you. If I had known… I would never have allowed this to happen. I’m very, very sorry.”Still, Jefferson grandfather said nothing, that was when the man completely lost his composure. His shoulders shook slightly as fear crept deeper into his bones. He didn’t dare lift his head. He could only wait.Then suddenly—“I don’t have time to waste!”Jefferson grandfather’s voice exploded into the room like thunder.Immediately Everyone flinched.He rose s

At that moment, upon hearing what his father had just said, Jefferson’s father felt his chest tighten. He knew his father very well. He knew how dangerous it was when his father spoke in that calm but heavy tone. His anger was already at its peak. Yet, standing there, Jefferson’s father suddenly realized something painful.He didn’t even know the name of the restaurant, his confidence drained immediately. Slowly, he bowed his head, unable to meet his father’s sharp gaze. In a low voice, he said,“Father… when we came in earlier, I forgot to check the name of the restaurant.”The air went completely still, the next second, Jefferson’s grandfather exploded. His voice thundered across the space as he shouted,“So what are you still standing here for? Are you rooted to the ground?”He stepped forward slightly, his eyes burning with fury.“Go and check the name of the restaurant immediately! Find out which family set this place up and who is holding this restaurant!”His voice dropped into

Immediately after hearing his son’s firm response, his father slowly nodded his head, his expression calm but heavy with hidden meaning. “No problem then,” he said in a low voice. “I’ll take your word for it.”Without wasting a single second, he ended the call.The moment the line went dead, he lifted his head slightly and listened. Around him, there was movement. His men were already preparing to leave. From their expressions and the sudden urgency in their actions, he sensed it clearly whatever they had been waiting for at Flame Fire Mountain had never happened. That bastard never came. From the very beginning, they had been waiting for nothing.At that moment, his men turned toward him, nodding their heads in unison. “No problem,” they said, fully awaiting his next order.He did not hesitate, he immediately gave them a new location, his voice sharp and commanding, making it clear that this was not a discussion. “Head straight there,” he ordered. “We don’t have time to waste.”Witho

CHAPTER 544THE VERDICT 'You're under arrest, Mr Richard. Let me see your hands,' the chief of police demanded, his voice loud and stern.The senator knew at that point that there was no way to escape. He had been exposed, and the only thing left to do was to accept his fate.He raised his hands and was handcuffed while the other police officers pushed him further along.'You can't do this, please! There must be another way,' Jessica managed to say, though she wasn't sure what she was saying.The evidence was everywhere and she knew she wouldn't be able to avoid this one.Her husband was in trouble, and if she wasn't careful, she was going to get caught up in it too.By the time they came out of the house, everyone in the estate had gathered to witness the commotion. They stood with shocked expressions on their faces.The senator, who had just expressed his desire to become governor, was now handcuffed and being taken away by the police.It was a completely new experience for everyon

CHAPTER 543SHAMEJudge West was ashamed when he looked at his son.He had never been so angry about anything in his life. He was so furious that he felt like murdering someone to quell his anger.He was sitting in his house, about to finalise a deal, when the authorities burst in and began arresting everyone.This had never happened before, and it didn't take long to realise that it was his foolish son who had done it, exposing him to forces too big to tear down.'Father, what's going on, and why are you handcuffed like a criminal?' Andrew asked, his eyes filled with confusion.He had thought that, once he got to the police station, he would just call his father and everything would be settled. But what he was witnessing was a big shock that he couldn't explain.What was he going to do without his father, who had always been a pillar of support and shed light on his path?The road ahead seemed slippery and dark, and for the first time, he was scared of what the future might hold."Fa

CHAPTER 542DEFEATED "Suit yourself, but you're done for, and there's nothing you can do about it. You can try everything you know, but it won't work," Jeremy said confidently to Andrew. He made sure that he left no stone unturned.Everything that had happened had made Jeremy exasperated and he was ready to get justice.He had worked too hard to allow Andrew to be released so easily. He wasn't going to allow it. He was going to make the man suffer for everything he had put him through."You don't know what you're doing. If you did, you would stop now. I come from one of the most powerful families in New York, and you will not walk free from what you have done." Andrew muttered angrily to Jeremy.He couldn't believe that his control over those powerful men had been reduced to nothing. He was handcuffed like a common criminal; his father would be so disappointed to see him like this. This was a big disgrace to a man of his standing.He needed to think of an escape plan. He could not al

CHAPTER 541APPREHENDED Jeremy came outside and looked at the boss. They maintained eye contact for a while before Jeremy spoke with realisation "I actually knew that you were part of the circle, but I wanted to be sure before making any moves. Now it has come to light," Jeremy muttered with a smirk.He had his doubts, but after some research and conversations, he discovered that he was on the right track.Andrew,his father's butler had been the circus master all along while he was acting as though he had his back and wanted the best for him."After I spoke to you, you said something in that direction, but you quickly diverted it. I knew that something was wrong. I paid more attention whenever we spoke, but I didn't want to take drastic steps without solid evidence, because i knew that men like you could easily escape the law and i didn't want to take any chances. Now that we have proof, you will go down," Jeremy added. He was disgusted by Andrew.He was even surprised himself to se

CHAPTER 540FOLLOW THE TRAILS The circus boss started laughing to himself; he couldn't believe he had missed it. The answer he had been craving had been right in front of him the whole time, but he just hadn't noticed.For him, this was the connection he had been searching for, and there was no way he wasn't going to get what he wanted.The owner of the school, Mr Philip, must have known something, or rather, received the support he needed, which was why he thought he could challenge him.Although he was angry with the senator for his mistake, there was no reason why Mr Philip couldn't be involved.The situation was complex, but all he wanted to do was unravel the connection and iron out the kinks.He took out his phone and dialled a number; his patience was wearing thin and he just wanted to do something quickly.'Hello boss, at your service,' a man at the other end quickly answered, his voice filled with humility and loyalty.'Do you know Mr Philip's house? He's the owner of the bi

CHAPTER 539NEW DISCOVERY "What have I done? The Senator asked in awe, his mouth open in anger.It wasn't what he had expected Mr Raymond to say and the word alone had left him distraught."Don't you dare point the finger at me Raymond, I wasn't the one who was greedy and wanted twenty percent of someone else's profits. It was your selfishness and greed that brought us to where we are now". The Senator condemned, his tone firm with accusation.He wasn't going to accept Raymond's words and how he wanted to paint him as the bad guy. He had seen the signs and he wouldn't accept it."Greed, you say? You don't have the right to call me greedy. You wanted the governorship and you didn't care who you hurt as long as you got it. You're practically the reason we're in this mess," Mr Raymond fired back at the Senator.He was furious that the Senator was trying to use his involvement with Mr Philip to pin the blame on him.The indulgence of Mr Philip couldn't be the reason why things were going
