Chapter 1
Six years ago, to salvage the Vegas family from financial ruin and to repay the kindness of its patriarch, Dimitri Vegas, who had offered him shelter, Fugaku entered into a matrilocal marriage. He became the husband of Vior from the prestigious Diningrat family in the Northern region. He never suspected it was all a scheme, a cold-blooded plot by Vior to steal the Vegas family's business secrets. On their wedding day, Fugaku was subjected to inhuman cruelty. He was brutally beaten, poisoned, abducted, and cast into the unforgiving sea.But fate was not done with him. Against all odds, Fugaku survived. He not only escaped with his life but was also inducted into Kastiya City's most enigmatic special forces unit: the Celestials. Forged in the fires of this new life for over two years, Fugaku was reborn—a stronger, harder man. He rose to become a warlord within the unit, revered as the leader of the Celestial Forces. He guarded Kastiya City, eradicating all who threatened it.Now, honora

The woman was his childhood sweetheart, Shanny."Why aren't you dead?!" Shanny's face flushed and then drained of color."Hmm… that's a long story." Fugaku didn't read too much into her reaction; after all, he had been gone for over two years."Fugaku..." The handsome young man beside Shanny's eyes lit up as if in recognition. A moment later, his expression shifted to one of pure mockery. "You're the useless bum who fled the Diningrat family wedding two years ago. So, you're still alive." The failed marriage between the Diningrat and Vegas families had been a massive scandal, a topic of gossip even to this day."And you are?" Fugaku's gaze finally settled on the young man, his brow furrowing slightly."I'm Shanny's boyfriend, Beckham." The young man draped his arm possessively around Shanny, the challenge in his eyes undisguised. "Shanny told me everything. Because of you, the Vegas family was ruined by the Diningrats. Their warrant for you is still active, yet you dare to return to t

Aunt Audie suddenly chimed in, "The timing is too perfect. It means he returned a while ago and has been spying on us from nearby!""Call the police! Call the police and have him arrested!"In an instant, Fugaku became the target of a public condemnation. The entire Vegas family turned on him. His timing was indeed terrible; Dimitri had just fallen into a coma, hovering on the brink of death. Fugaku's arrival at this precise moment was deeply suspicious.Amidst the fierce accusations, Fugaku offered no defense, his face a mask of calm.Seeing this, Beckham, who had been pale with fear, slowly regained his composure. He sneered vindictively, "It seems Uncle has raised a thankless wolf."At his words, Shanny's expression soured, and she glared at Fugaku with hatred. "I never thought he was this kind of person either.""Mother, Shanny, Elders." At that moment, Fugaku, who had been silent, finally spoke. He looked at everyone with sincerity, his voice deep. "I know I am the one who brough

"Aaaaaah!" The women of the Vegas family screamed in terror. Fugaku was forced to stop his acupuncture, a cold, murderous glint in his eyes."Fugaku, you've really got guts!" A man's arrogant laugh echoed from outside. "You knew my brother was looking for you, yet you still dared to return to the Northern region?"As the laughter faded, a blond man with a cigarette dangling from his lips swaggered in."Sam? You…" Seeing the blond man, the faces of Shanny, Putri, and the other Vegas family members turned pale.Since Martyr Company was acquired by the Diningrat family last week, the last company under the Vegas banner had officially changed hands. The current Vegas family could only rely on a few small businesses to survive. When faced with a member of the Diningrat family, they were like mice encountering a cat.All except Fugaku. He stood with an indifferent expression, his cold gaze fixed on Sam. "The Diningrat family. I haven't even come for you yet, and you have the audacity to com

"You… who are you?" Sam was so terrified his legs trembled, and he could barely move his lips to speak. In that one instant, he had truly smelled the stench of death from this woman."Why did you come here?" Fugaku, however, frowned deeply. He said loudly, "Don't meddle in other people's business. Get out."This reprimand sent a fresh wave of fear and unease through the room. Shanny even glared at Fugaku, making a ‘hush’ gesture with her hand. An assassin of unknown origin—what if Fugaku angered her? What if she decided to kill everyone?But to everyone's utter astonishment, not only was Shilpy not angry, she bowed her head nervously. "Understood." After replying, she vanished without a trace.Shilpy was gone, but the tense atmosphere in the Vegas household had not dissipated; instead, it deepened. The way Shanny, Putri, and all the other family members looked at Fugaku had changed. The hatred and disgust were gone, replaced by a kind of fear and awe.Sam was trembling, sweat beading

Faced with everyone's strange gazes, Beckham's face turned red and then pale. But he quickly composed himself, forcing a smile. "How could it be me? I'm Shanny's boyfriend. Uncle Dimitri is my future father-in-law. Why would I harm him?"Everyone felt this made sense, so they turned to look at Sam again.Sam, his face covered in blood, struggled to his feet. To save himself, he had no choice but to throw Beckham under the bus. "I… I was the one who told Beckham to do it. To make Dimitri drink a poison that induces a heart attack. Then, to steal the heart attack medication. That way, Dimitri would die.""What!" In his words, everyone was utterly shocked. It was a huge blow to the Vegas family. Shanny was stunned, her gaze turning vacant."No, tell me this isn't true, right?" After a brief moment of shock, a deep-seated hatred emerged. The members of the Vegas family advanced on Beckham with grim faces."Beckham, and to think we all trusted you so much! It was you!""Why would you do su

Fugaku nodded, then strode out of the Vegas family's gate. A dove-black Audi was parked at the entrance. Fugaku opened the car door and got in. The person in the driver's seat was the black-clad Shilpy.However, Shilpy's eyes were now filled with displeasure. "Young Master, they have no right to treat you like this. Shall I go…""Enough!" Fugaku cut her off, then glanced at the unconscious Sam. "Is the matter resolved?""It's taken care of, Sir," Shilpy's expression turned serious as she drove and reported. "Miss Aprilia works at the Central Building and is the founder of YNetwork, a cosmetics company located in Megalith. She also has a daughter, about five years old."In an instant, Fugaku's face looked as if it had taken a massive blow. His entire body trembled violently."A daughter? I… I have a child?" Fugaku's expression suddenly became extremely nervous, his lips stammering. His gaze was a maelstrom of emotions: joy, hope, and confusion. These emotions quickly morphed into a dee

At his words, Shanny's face tensed for a moment, then she said with an awkward expression, "I... drove him away.""What?" Hearing this, Dimitri's eyes widened. He pointed at Shanny and said angrily, "You grew up together! Where is your conscience, you brat? Besides, Fugaku was the one who treated me! What right do you have to kick him out?""Look at what you've done! Repaying kindness with hostility, ungrateful! This is not how members of the Vegas family should act!""Cough! Cough!" Dimitri was so incensed by the injustice that he started coughing.Putri quickly patted his back. "Be careful. You've just recovered. You can't get angry." Putri knew Dimitri's temper; once he made up his mind, it couldn't be changed. So she took action to prevent another heart attack. "Dimitri, Fugaku will surely come back. But right now, the most important thing is the auction this afternoon. Have you thought about what to do?"This question got to the heart of the matter. In an instant, the other membe

Fugaku shook his head helplessly and, ignoring them, planned to walk into the building."Hey, what are you doing?" Seeing Fugaku insist on going in, Shanny immediately blocked his path with her body. "I told you, you can't go in. Why do you have to make things difficult for yourself? If you want to find a job, considering our childhood relationship, I'll ask a friend to help you find a job at a construction site.""Move!" Fugaku suddenly shouted, his entire body radiating coldness.The shout startled Shanny, causing her to lose her balance and stumble three steps back. Her high-heeled foot twisted, and she drew a sharp breath in pain."I'm also warning you, out of respect for our childhood relationship, do not block my way!" Fugaku's voice was so cold it seemed to erase any feeling Shanny had for him.He had done his utmost to help the Vegas family; he owed them nothing more. Compared to Aprilia, Shanny was truly nothing."How dare you threaten me?!" Confused and annoyed, Shanny reckl

Marc glanced at Jonathan and shook his head. He had tried to save him, but unfortunately, Fugaku was firm."Go home and write your resignation letter. You are not suited for this job," Marc said, waving Jonathan away."But, Mr. Marc..." Jonathan still wanted to say something, but Marc was already accompanying Fugaku into the building."Mr. Fugaku, are you here today to observe the bidding event?" Marc took small, quick steps to keep up with Fugaku, his tone fawning."No, I have no interest in that." Fugaku's face was calm, his gaze fixed forward. "I just came to see the building, so I can have a deeper understanding of it.""R-Right!" Marc awkwardly wiped the sweat from his forehead, then said, "Mr. Fugaku, since you've already bought the building, how about I hold a handover ceremony for you, so we can commemorate it?""Not necessary." Fugaku refused immediately without a second thought. "I don't like dealing with events like this. And regarding Altar Company, if you like, you can re
