CHAPTER 211
Later that night.No drones entered the premises of Anthony Villa anymore. Not since Kevin had given Rick a long-distance slap.It was something to be relieved about and celebrated even, but mourning filled the rooms.There was silence everywhere.Most people were in their rooms, but nobody could sleep.All the ‘heads’ were kept in the freezer for the time being.Ben was making calls, trying to warn his people and tell them to find safety.;Eventually, he came to the outer balcony and sat next to Kevin.“I’m sorry for what happened to you and your father in the past,” Ben said.“Don’t be sorry. You just asked for your money. I gave it to you,” Kevin replied. “That’s all there was to it.”“Yes, but your father was cornered that day. A few guys grouped together and planned the whole drama and escalated things,” Ben said. “I was one of those, too. I was just afraid that I wouldn’t get my money back. To be honest, I didn’t expect you or your in-laws to pay for Ryan.“Even if you had given
CHAPTER 212
The next morning.Rick felt a monstrous slap in his cheek.It woke him up at once.He was huffing and sweating and found himself in his bed.“That was a dream?”Rick gritted his teeth very much. He hadn’t forcefully woken up from a dream like this in a long time.He was someone who always appeared in other’s dreams and tormented them, but now, someone whose face he didn’t even know came into his dream and slapped him out of his sleep.This was so frustrating and humiliating that Rick felt a phantom pain in his cheek.His gut felt sore from the rage that had built up since yesterday.He looked at the picture frame on the desk next to the bed. It was his family picture. His wife and son were in the picture.It was a photoshopped image because his wife had passed away while giving birth to Nash.Seeing the image turned Rick’s heart heavier.“I’m not going to hear your voices in this home anymore…” Rick’s voice turned heavy. He felt like the ceiling had collapsed and fell on his shoulders
CHAPTER 213
In the backyard of the Livingstone mansion.The four sons gathered and were having a discussion.“Nash’s funeral hasn’t even started yet, and he’s already making us fight each other.”“Enrich Biotech company is a big company with many people in high places behind it. If we go after such a company, we could die.”“Then why does our dad want us to fight them? Does he not care about our lives?”“He wouldn’t give us such a dangerous mission if he cares.”“Tsk, what are we supposed to do now? If we take this task, we could die. If we don’t take it, we won’t get a penny from our dad.”While the four sons stood frustrated, the daughter arrived there. Seeing them, she smiled and said, “Are you four planning a rebellion?”“Huh, surely you jest. Who would dare plan a rebellion against our dad?” they snorted. “We wouldn’t dare do such a thing even in our dreams.”“Don’t think too much about the mission Dad gave us,” she said. “Instead of doing it alone, we’ll do it together.”“Huh? Dad told us t
CHAPTER 214
“Threatening my employees in broad daylight, are we?” a lively voice reached Cecilia’s ears. “I like that confidence. Or should I say arrogance?”Cecilia turned and saw a handsome man who did not look his age.He was Adam Conreid, one of the sons of the Conreid family worth in trillions. His family owned many schools, colleges, and properties all over the country.Adam was over forty years old, even older than Jack Shamus. Yet, he looked much younger than Jack.Adam would easily pass for a thirty year old.Such were his looks.And he was also known as one of the biggest playboys in the history of the country.His most famous incident was when he rigged a professional football game so that his girlfriend’s favorite team would win the national league’s final.Any normal person would have received a jail sentence, but Adam escaped by claiming that his girlfriend manipulated him and also by paying a fine to the court. His breakup with his girlfriend was the talk of the year at that time.
CHAPTER 215
Later that afternoon.Naomi stopped by the Serenity company. She didn’t get out of her car, but she quietly observed things from inside the car.Every few minutes, one or two cars arrived at the company. Rich men in suits went into the company and came out a bit later.“So it is real…” Naomi snorted. “I didn’t believe it when Aunt Brielle told me, but it seems they somehow found investors. Who the hell was willing to dump so much money into this shitty company? Does money grow on trees for them or what?”Just then, a new group arrived there.“Those guys are… I know them. They are acquaintances with Jordan Wang,” Naomi thought. “But where is Jordan Wang? Why didn’t he come here himself?”She smiled.“Since he didn’t come here, that means he doesn’t want to show his face to this company's people. This could only mean one thing. He’s going to do put some pressure on Cecilia. I can’t miss this scene.”She got out of the car and went into the company.Hiding behind a couple of tall cardboa
CHAPTER 216
The manager opened the room door and gave the keys to Naomi.“Thank you,” she smiled and then entered the flat.“If you need anything, just give us a call,” the manager said. “We offer services 24/7, ma’am.”“Sure,” she closed the door behind her without even looking at him. She looked around the living room and liked what she saw.Italian marble flowed across the floor in seamless slabs, cool and pale like still water. A sculptural sofa in cream cashmere curved around a low table carved from a single piece of onyx, its veins glowing faintly under discreet lighting. Nothing cluttered the space.She walked up to the windows.The floor-to-ceiling windows wrapped the space like a transparent crown, the city stretched below in jeweled geometry.From this height, traffic looked decorative. Noise did not dare climb this far.“A room between clouds and skyline… Her taste isn’t bad. She picked a nice flat. It’s calm and relaxing here. I wonder how much she paid for this ultra luxury…”She did
CHAPTER 217
“The past is in the past. Now my son is dead,” Rick said, his voice a bit heavy. “I have other children born out of wedlock, but I don’t know how long I have left in me. I want someone to guide them. In case I pass away suddenly, I want you to manage my family trust.”“W-What?” Orland and Brielle were greatly surprised.Rick was going to entrust them with hundreds of billions of dollars?They did not see this coming at all.“I want you to use my trust and establish your family, too,” Rick said. “Consider this as my payment for being rude with your parents in the past.”“This…” Orland was genuinely out of words. He looked at Brielle, and she did not regret coming to the funeral. In fact, this was probably the best decision she had taken in recent years, she thought.If they could become the managers of Livingstone Trust, there would be no need for them to rely on guys like Jack Shamus.And the O’Brian family could rise on its own, in the shade of Livingstone Trust.Brielle glanced at O
CHAPTER 218
Jack Shamus was riding a helicopter.He was browsing different websites, looking through research papers.He received an email.“Mm? Naomi O’Brian? What did she send me?” When he checked the mail and the attached files, he was pleasantly surprised. This was sensitive information about billionaire Jordan Wang, including his future plans and personal details. “Haha, this is good. She basically gave me Jordan’s throat. I can turn him into an obedient puppet with this information.”Then, he received a text message. It was also from Naomi, explaining about the toilet bowl designs she had sold to Jordan.“So Kevin made those designs, huh…” Jack grinned. “If I patent those designs under my name, he will get butthurt I’m sure. I like it.”He then sent a reply message to Naomi. “Thanks for these gifts. I appreciate it very much. I shall repay this favor soon.”Seeing the reply message, Naomi smiled. “Fight among yourselves and make me rich.”Meanwhile, Jack continued browsing through the resea
CHAPTER 219
The guests did not stop coming to Nash’s funeral.Nash, on his own, was a nobody.He didn’t have good grades in school or college. He didn’t even finish college. He smoked, drank, gambled and roamed with a different chick every week.Anyone who knew him would not speak positively when he’s not around.If it wasn’t for the family that Nash was born in, nobody would want to be friends with a guy like him.Because Nash was the only legal son of Rick Livingstone, he had many friends.Still, not a single friend showed up to his funeral. Only Rick’s friends and acquaintances came, but not a single one of Nash’s friends came.Rick was aware of this, and he was disappointed with the life his son had led.“Do my son’s friends not care about his death, or do they fear coming before me?” Rick wondered, but he didn’t think too much about the lack of their presence.He just cared about the guests that did come.Not everyone brought flowers.Some brought briefcases full of silver and gold and left
CHAPTER 220
Rudd felt his blood boil ever since Jack entered the mansion. He felt like Jack came here to mock because Jack was wearing a white dress, and the flowers were back.On top of that, Jack walked right past Rick without even greeting him. And then he put the flowers on top of the coffin as if to mask Nash’s face.Nothing Jack did was pleasant in Rudd’s eyes.As if that wasn’t enough, Jack started talking to his boss Rick, face to face.Rudd did not like that at all.And Rudd lost it when Jack told Rick, “Why don’t you work for me?”“How dare you talk to the Casino King like that?!” Rudd immediately threw his fist at Jack, but all he struck was air.All he saw was an afterimage.“What?”The next second, something struck him in the chest like a cannon, and he was pushed back a few steps.Rudd coughed out blood. He was in a daze for a second. He hadn’t ever been hit like that before. (This bastard is not ordinary. He’s probably one of those… Supers! He’s dangerous!)Rick was greatly startle
