….A few minutes later, after they had left, several cars suddenly drove into the avenue. Soon a man looking to be in his mid-fifties hopped out of the car, his face twisted in both grimace and anger.This man was named Kaid Oakdale, the current Helmans of the Oakdale family, and behind him, were powerhouses of different categories. An hour ago, he was in his family company trying to sort out some partnership deal when he was called and informed that his son, Pierre, had been killed.He didn’t want to believe his ears, so he left hurriedly for the mansion only to see his son's dead body on the floor with many bullet holes in his body. This was the same person who had taken permission from him not long ago to go see the hotel the Patel family had offered them this morning.His son returned, but died, and the powerhouses he went with were nowhere to be found. His son had been killed? When he asked who the culprit was, he was told it was some guy named August Reed.Though he did a ba

Meanwhile, at McChord Island. The place was a luxurious island oasis, nestled on the outskirts of the bustling city. The island was a haven of opulence, dotted with five sprawling mansions. These grand estates boast sleek, modern architecture, with gleaming glass facades and meticulously manicured lawns that slope gently down to the water's edge. Furthermore, crystal-clear turquoise waters were lapping softly against the island's pristine shores, creating a soothing melody that contrasted with the city's distant hum. Palm trees sway lazily in the ocean breeze, adding a touch of tropical paradise to this exclusive enclave.In summary, the place was like a paradise, far from what Caroline and Hazel might have expected. As for August, he wasn’t too surprised as he had already seen photos of the place. Each mansion here costs billions of dollars, and with how it looked, he could tell it was worth the price.Perhaps it was time he had his company make something like this. They had yet t

Everyone’s eyes nearly bulged out as they saw it was actually August's phone that was ringing. How could this be? How could this arrogant man who is dressed so shabbily be able to fork out twenty-five billion dollars to buy the whole island? It just didn’t make sense. How?The manager looked again and turned to Sonia. “You must have called the wrong number. “He sneered.“Sir, it’s the right one.” Sonia was utterly shocked too, but she wasn’t mistaken about the number she dialed. This man was indeed the one who contacted her and paid for the house.“Hmp! Could you give me the phone? I’ll dial it myself.” The manager was still struggling to believe. In fact, if there were a debate program about the situation at hand, he could argue to death that August would not be able to fork out even five hundred thousand dollars, not to mention twenty-five billion. He snatched the phone from her and began to scroll through the messages. He saw the contact information and copied the number into his

“Hmph, I never thought that McChord Island would be this beautiful. I had doubts about the pictures I saw online, but now I can see for myself. This place is like a perfect heaven.” Kaid couldn’t help but comment as he looked around the place. The ocean view was just too magnificent. In fact, he suddenly felt the urge to stay in such a place. Who wouldn’t? It's just too stunning. However, a frown emerged on his face as he began to wonder why August Reed had suddenly bought a house here. As for whether he could afford it, that wasn’t his business. He was the captain of the dragon regiment, so it was expected that he was rich, but he liked to keep a low profile. Does this mean that August wanted to live here now? He disappeared for three years, came back, killed his son, and now he wanted to settle down? How could that be possible? His face was distorted the more as he pondered in his head. His car was in the lead while the others were tailing him from behind. When coming in, his

The tigers were deadly assassins from the north known for their brutal way of killing. In the top ten organizations, it ranked number three. These men didn't only kill their targets; they butchered them until there were no signs of life in their bodies.When they heard a reward was up for grabs for anyone who could kill August Reed, these men were more than ready to take up the task, as they were very confident in their skills, and also, with their numbers, was there anything they couldn't do?“They have vanished? That man there is dead. I can swear to it. If you don't have a higher cultivation level than the tigers, how can you sense them or even fight them?”“Those men are so scary that even I, who is a killer, would be afraid if I were put against them. Yet some punk thinks he could make any difference?”“Tch, don't worry, he is dead meat anyway.”“Hahaha, looking all high and mighty when all you could do is blow airs? How I wish I were the one who got the chance to cut him open li
