"Is everything ready?" Luke's brows raised with excitement when he received Hunter's call. "I'll head over at once. It's a lot of work cleaning up after all that sex. Allow me to do it."After the call ended, Luke asked Faye, "Have you asked the tabloids and reporters to be in position?"The latter smirked at him. "Don't worry, Luke! Vivian's going down this time!"Luke left for Regal Point Hotel in a hurry once he got a satisfactory response. He needed to murder Vivian and make it look like she had ended her life after getting sexually assaulted. After all, he wanted to do more than ruin her reputation. Only her death would make him feel at ease.He soon arrived and opened the door to room 8088, only to see something he didn't expect. The space was empty. It made him feel suspicious. That was when the door fell shut. A tall, burly man appeared behind Luke, and he gazed at the latter with unconcealed lust."W-Who are you?" Luke felt a little afraid."You look handsome, pretty b

Needless to say, Marcus knew that the Pantheon of the Drakon owned more than half of the wealth and power worldwide. As the Drakon, Marcus was one of the two individuals in Merania who had military and political authority at his disposal. The other individual was that person in the capital.Jonathan from the Northfort military region was an elite soldier cultivated by the Pantheon of the Drakon. He was named one of Merania's Four Monstrous Generals. Along with the other three—Sebastian Simmons, Oliver Undergrove, and Elijah Steele—he followed the former Drakon to war.As a result of their overpowering win, the over 40 neighboring countries dared not mess with Merania ever again.The luxury cigars and alcohol enjoyed by the Monstrous General were produced by a specialized department. The production quality was at a whole new level compared to those enjoyed by the normal higher-ups.Marcus had made up his mind. "Okay. I'll choose this for Vivian's grandmother's birthday prese

Even after they arrived at Northfort in time, Vivian couldn't believe that everything was real.They got out of the monorail.Vivian spoke to Marcus, "Marcus, mind explaining?" He glanced at Lisa before chuckling. "If I say that the railway station is mine, would you believe me?""It's really yours?" Lisa showed excitement.But she snorted coldly when she realized that she failed to control her emotions. "If you're this capable, you wouldn't have been a loser that relied on Vivian."Well, it's possible that you've found that mysterious billionaire. Because only a billionaire is able to do this.""Yup. I did contact the mysterious billionaire," Marcus admitted.She said smugly, "See? I knew it. A loser like you isn't that capable. But this proves how much the mysterious billionaire cares for Vivian."Marcus, you can never be as capable as he is. If you know your place well, you should leave Vivian yourself.""Mom, not again!" Vivian was ashamed.Marcus found it hilarious bec

After all, among the Childe sisters, Lisa's family was the only family that had yet to show off their connections.It was Shirley's 60th birthday party. Yet, Lisa brought only Vivian and Marcus along.The fact that she didn't bring the other Lorimers displeased Shirley and Norman.Although the Childes weren't as well-off as the Lorimers, they were still considered a prestigious family in Northfort.Now that all eyes were on him, Marcus coolly admitted, "Yeah. I invited them over."While the four uncles were immersed in the discussion, Marcus had secretly sent Jonathan a message.Marcus requested Jonathan to bring Gary along to Shirley's birthday party.Brad mocked him. "Stop bragging already! I think they came because of Zeke. Colonel Samson must've rushed over here after finishing his important mission."Look. Commander Zarr has come as well. We can clearly tell how much the leaders in Northfort favor Zeke."The guests gave it some thought, concluding that he indeed made sens

"Who says that I'm hiding? I just went out to prepare Granny and Grandpa's birthday present." At this moment, Marcus' voice could be heard coming from the gates.He was holding a black plastic bag, which made everyone present dubious."Is this the present you prepared?" Luna pointed at the black plastic bag."Yeah." Marcus nodded.She laughed. "Everyone, look at Lisa's son-in-law's grand present. He's so different from us!"Steven chuckled. "Are they fruits? Or maybe some vegetables?" "I bet it's his hometown's specialties." Alice laughed. Indeed, the black plastic bag in Marcus' hand was nothing special. It was no different from the plastic bags found in supermarkets. It gave off the impression that he lacked sincerity.After all, all of the gifts were either exquisitely packaged or expensive.Lisa, who couldn't put up with it anymore, scolded Marcus. "Ridiculous. When will you ever learn what decency is? If you can't buy a decent gift, don't give anything to them! S
