Hudderson still insisted on the words he said earlier. “My wife needs the biggest deal your company can give to her.”Jadon nodded. “I already prepared the documents before coming, Supreme Ruler.” He turned to his men, and at his signal, one of them grabbed a file he had kept within him the whole time and handed it over to him.Jadon in turn extended his hand toward Hudderson, but the Supreme Ruler turned to Charlotte. “Go ahead.” He urged with a smile. “It’s all yours.” Hudderson didn’t bother to look at the documents, he knew that Jadon would never do anything he didn’t ask him to do. “Please have this.” Jadon turned to Charlotte, almost kneeling while he waited for her to take the document from him.That action left everyone dumbfounded, and they could only stare in awe.“Is this truly Jadon Oldegard or someone who looks exactly like him?” Thomson thought, still wondering how Hudderson could bring such a powerful man to his beck and call in such short notice.Even the Mayor of t

Thomson gasped, shocked by the words his daughter said.“Don’t say that, Charlotte! You can’t do that! We are your family!” “Well, you should have thought about that before forcing me to marry that arrogant fellow named Jackson!” Charlotte found her courage, unafraid to show her true feelings after hiding them for so long. “That was like selling me off to the highest bidder, Father! You didn’t even care about my emotions! All you wanted was to make sure that you saved the family business. I didn’t drive us into debt, you and Tasha did that with your lavish spending!” Thomson and Tasha looked away, gripped by guilt from the words Charlotte said to them.Tasha looked at her half-sister, and the intense desire to attempt another plea for pardon gripped her.She lifted her hand like she was asking for permission to speak, her lips shaking before she was able to find her words. “No matter what you think, Charlotte, we are family. I know that you are angry, but cutting us off is not the

They soon arrived at their destination; a castle-like building standing in the middle of Mog City.“We are here.” The driver announced, twisting the key to kill the engine. He turned to Hudderson, staring as he got down from the car.“I am sure this fellow will be thrown out of this place. Not even the rich are brave enough to come here.” He seemed to be in a hurry to drive away, but that was not going to be without his money. Hudderson dipped his hand into his pocket, and taking out a hundred-dollar not, he handed it over to the driver.“What is this?” The driver frowned as he grabbed the money from him. “Your money is one hundred and fifty dollars, Young man. You still owe me fifty bucks.” Hudderson scoffed. “Why would you want to extort me? I gave you something that is twice the amount you are supposed to be paid.” The driver huffed. “I hope you are not trying to get under my nerves!” He fired, getting out of his taxi. “I promised that I was going to beat you up if you tried

Kyron took a step backward, holding tightly to his staff, but it seemed like he needed more aid or he was going to collapse. The words he heard from Hudderson caused apprehension to erupt inside him, and as he shook under the influence of the threat, the guard still kneeling behind him was forced to wonder who Hudderson could be.“Could he really be the Supreme Ruler like he claims?” He whispered only to his hearing, his voice quivering as he stole a glance at Hudderson.Since the master he feared like the devil seemed to be frightened by the presence of the stranger, it was only imaginable the kind of feelings that were surging through his nerves. Hudderson had resumed his silence, but his aura was deafening, enough to cause conflict inside the old man’s body.“You cannot kill me, Hudderson. You know the rules, son.” “Don’t call me that!” Hudderson fired, thundering all over the place. “I am not your son, Kyron! I was never, and I will never be!”“Is that what you tell yourself to

It was hard to believe him, but his expression lacked any form of uncertainty. Hudderson battled with the feelings that rippled deep inside him, causing him to turn to the old man again after he had stared at the images for the umpteenth time. “You know not to lie to me.” He snorted, his burning eyes glaring at Kyron who swallowed hard at once, unable to find his next words. “I will rip your heart from your chest if you are lying to me,” Hudderson growled at him, and with just a slight move of his hands, he sent the old man shivering backward, fear and apprehension glittering in his eyes. Kyron took a deep breath, attempting to break free from the cringe that gripped him. “I would never lie to you, Drake. Aisha and Delvin are alive.” His voice was barely above a whisper, carrying the heavy weight of the emotions that were nestled inside him. With every opportunity he got, he was ready to move backward, afraid that he could be made to eat sand by the Supreme Ruler. “I know
