Roderick's mind went back to the events that had occurred that day, and he remembered that he had rescued some ladies from Rakshasa's prison.What Roderick was trying to understand now was how that had anything to do with the woman. Could it be that one of her children or family members was among the ladies?Given the great ability the old woman possesses, Roderick didn't want to believe that his thought was right.This was because he felt someone with such great ability should be able to save her family members if they were in such a situation.After a round of thoughts, Roderick finally settled that he was just trying to guess. He felt there might be something else behind it.Then, Roderick said to Benjamin, "I'm still trying to understand if one of her children was among the ladies I rescued. I should have been stunned by how she knew that I did such a thing today, but she is more knowledgeable about hidden information than I can imagine."Benjamin didn't know why he was feeling un

"Mr. Holmes..." Benjamin swallowed hard as he quickly called for Roderick's attention.He locked eyes with Roderick as if he didn't see the dangerous thugs who were already very close to them."You wouldn't believe who is approaching our table right now, Mr. Holmes."Roderick slowly dropped his wine glass as he sensed the seriousness in Benjamin's voice. He gradually looked in the direction Benjamin signaled and saw the underworld king and his men approaching.'The whole matter has been settled. What have they come here to do?' Roderick thought inwardly with a smug smile.Benjamin was surprised to see a smile appear on Roderick's face as he caught sight of the thugs.They are currently in danger, and yet Roderick could smile? Benjamin didn't know what to think.Then, he quickly explained his observations to him. "Mr. Holmes, this is serious trouble. How are we going to escape it? Everybody in the club ran away for their lives as soon as they saw the Silent Emperor walk in."Roderick h

'Really?' Roderick was quite surprised to hear this. He was a bit doubtful of the Silent Emperor's words.However, given the fact that he had seen the Silent Emperor's abode today, owning such a great hotel was possible.Then, Roderick thought of pushing him further. "If that's true, why did everyone in the club leave in fear when they saw you? Weren't they supposed to enjoy every bit of their time being here?"The Silent Emperor lowered his head and responded, "That's true, Mr. Holmes. But everyone in Meadow City knows me for loving a quiet environment. Given that, wherever I step, people always scatter for their lives as they are afraid of offending me."Roderick glanced at him at his explanation and returned to his drink. Even though his explanation was quite justifiable, he expected the customers in his hotel to be excluded.Roderick understood that even if the Silent Emperor had asked them to stay in the club while he was present, most of them might not be willing to risk their l

Benjamin's face widened in surprise as he heard that. It was very difficult for him to believe it.However, given how serious Roderick's tone was when he made the disclosure, he could tell that he wasn't joking."Mr. Holmes, is this true?" Benjamin didn’t know when this question slipped from his mouth.Roderick was quite amused, as he had foreseen this reaction earlier. He never planned to disclose this to Benjamin sooner, knowing he would become restless as soon as he found out.Given how their discussion had gone, that was why he had to tell him now."Are you doubting my words, Mr. White?"Benjamin felt a sudden pang in his heart as Roderick asked him. Roderick and the Silent Emperor had spent some time together at the club a few moments ago, so he must have learned the information.Benjamin didn’t mean to doubt Roderick’s words, but the information was just so hard for him to believe.Wasn’t it unfortunate that he ended up staying at the hotel owned by the person he feared could at

Christina was instantly bewildered at the sight of the black card. She recognized the card as one of the most respected cards in the county, as it belonged to The Infinite Bank.The Infinite Bank is known as the bank for wealthy people. She was aware that one of the requirements to bank with the financial institution is to have a net worth of more than two hundred million.Where did Roderick find such an amount to be able to bank there?Christina's mind struggled to understand the matter at hand.Aside from that, she considered the land on Tuchel Avenue useless and wouldn't mind selling it to Roderick. He was the one who purchased it at the auction, after all.If he bought the useless land for himself, it was a reward for his ignorance about valuable lands.However, Christina insisted that he should pay for the land immediately because she never believed he could fork out a huge sum of ten million dollars.Her initial intention was to embarrass and mock Roderick if he was unable to pa
