CHAPTER 221
Some of the relatives were crying over Rick’s body. Rickelle, especially, cried the most.With tears streaming down her cheeks, and snot falling from her nose, she looked distraught by the loss of her father.Banging her hands against her father’s chest, she cried, demanding him to wake up, but Rick did not respond.Her actions made more people cry, for they really believed her act.Meanwhile, a new coffin was brought for Rick within minutes, as if it had been prepared beforehand.Rickelle cried even more as Rick was put into the coffin.The sons of Rick tried to take the stage, but then Jack and his supporters stood up and supported Rickelle.The four brothers were shocked by the huge support Rickelle got.They wanted to fight, but they didn’t. They could only remain silent, but Jack demanded them to support Rickelle.He even made them sign documents.Everything happened next to Rick’s dead body.And it happened pretty fast all the while Rickelle kept saying that this could be done l
CHAPTER 222
A few minutes earlier.At Darling Casino.Kevin and Ben were coming out of the casino with bags of cash. Both of them were wearing masks, and they had armed guards next to them, protecting them from harm.“Hahaha, that was so thrilling,” Ben laughed. “We made more than a hundred million. I knew gambling can bring great profits sometimes, but how the hell did you win like that? It was the roulette you played. It’s the most risky game out there. How did you win eighteen times out of twenty attempts?”“I was just lucky,” Kevin said.“Hahaha, yeah. You can say what you want, but I don’t think that’s luck,” Ben laughed. “There’s definitely a kill involved. I’ve seen masters who can throw a dice and bring out the number they want. You are also skillful like them.”Kevin didn’t say anything.He only used the Wind God’s Eye skill to win. It was no big deal for him, neither the wins nor the money.“Don’t forget that the reason we came here isn’t to earn money,” Kevin said.“Of course. It was t
CHAPTER 223
At Livingstone mansion.Rickelle made her brothers bow before her.This wasn’t a simple bow, but a ninety-degree bow. Even the brothers who were older than her had to swallow their pride and bow, or they were afraid of suffering the same fate as their father.As minutes went by, more and more people understood how decisive and ruthless Rickelle was.“You won’t have to worry about anything as long as you don’t plan anything funny behind my back,” Rickelle warned her brothers with a smile. “But just know this. I won’t give second chances to anybody. If you betray me, you will pay for it with your life. Nothing less.”The brothers were very much afraid of her as well as Jack and those who were openly supporting her.“Time to bury Rick and Nash in the backyard,” Rickelle said.“Backyard?” one of the sons objected. “Our dad bought an entire graveyard. That was where he buried his parents and his wives that died before him. He would want to be buried there, too.”“When did our dad visit tha

“Decide which side you want to take,” Kevin said confidently. He didn’t shout. His voice was loud enough for everyone there to hear. “My side, or Jack’s side.”For a couple of seconds, people were confused by Kevin’s words.Kevin was a nobody compared to Jack Shamus, so why was he talking as if he was Kevin’s equal?Many billionaires watching them could not understand why he was speaking like that.“Why would anyone take your side?” one of the billionaires asked him. “What did you do for the country? Or for us? We don’t even know what you’re capable of. How much money do you even have in the bank?”“You want to know what I am capable of?” Kevin glanced at the man who just spoke.That man lifted his hand and slapped himself, which truly astonished everyone. He didn’t just slap himself once or twice but five times.“W-What did he do?”“Did he use black magic?”“It’s like voodoo or some shit.”Many billionaires and politicians got visibly nervous. They might be big billionaires, but many
CHAPTER 225
Kevin was having a private conversation with Rickelle and her brothers.“What your dad has done is actually unforgivable,” Kevin said. “He killed multiple people who are close to Ben Anthony, including his parents. I could understand if the fault was with Ben, but it was Nash who first tried to kidnap Ben’s daughter for money.”Rickelle frowned. “Nash was a coward. He didn’t have the guts to ask for money from our father, so he always found different stupid ways to earn money. But I never thought he’d kidnap a woman. His foolishness was what killed him.”“Our dad was also too strict with us,” the four sons said. “If he had been a little more lenient, I don’t think Nash would have ended up like that. He probably would have become a better person.”“Ben suffered a big loss, so send him some proper compensation to mend things between you and him,” Kevin told them.“He has a daughter. One of my brothers can marry her,” Rickelle said.Kevin smiled. “That’s not up to me to decide, but allia
CHAPTER 226
There was no time limit given in the mission.So, Kevin did not have to immediately decide on how to proceed with the mission regarding his in-laws.Eventually, Ben took Orland and Brielle in the car he had come.Brielle and Orland were relieved that Kevin did not tag alongside them. Their hearts once again were brought under control.“How did you come in touch with Kevin?” Orland asked Ben. “For him to stay at your home and hide when he’s being sought by the police and the government, you two must be pretty close.”“Not at all,” Ben said, surprising them.“No? You’re not close.”“If anything, Kevin probably dislikes me,” Ben explained. “You know, I was one of those guys who gave money to his dad. And Kevin paid that money back with interest. We exchanged a few words back then. So, he had all the reason in the world to be hostile toward me.”“Ah, so you were one of those,” Orland and Brielle now understood why Ben said such words.“He doesn’t seem to dislike you anymore,” Brielle said
CHAPTER 227
The air around the sons of the O’Brian family was cold.Colder than the marble tiles under their feet.“What?” Brielle’s heart shook for longer than a second. “What do you mean you’re leaving the mansion?”“There’s nothing to explain, Mom,” Dabby said, his face stiff as if he had already decided on it. “We’re leaving the mansion so we can build our own reputation.”Brielle gritted her teeth. “Are you kidding me? O’Brian family always sticks together! And what do you mean by ‘there’s nothing to explain’?! How can you decide on such a big thing without even talking to us?”“You don’t understand it, yet, Brielle?” Orland said calmly. “They took Jack’s side.”Brielle was quite startled. She looked at Dabby and Rory, and they didn't deny. “No, you can’t trust Jack. He’s far more dangerous than you think.”She still vividly remembered how Jack killed Rick. If Jack could so easily kill the Casino King in front of all those billionaires and politicians and get away with it, then destroying th
CHAPTER 228
Ben returned to his villa, and he brought the bodies of his parents and relatives and friends so they could have proper burials.Even though Ben won, there was no celebration in his family.Only quiet acknowledgement and relief.Still, his daughter Teresa faced many accusations from her friends and relatives who blamed her for everything that happened.They tried to split the Anthony family in the time they were there for the funeral, wanting to start proxy wars to dismantle the Anthony family.Things were getting out of Ben’s control even though he understood what was going on.People died on his side, his wife’s side, and his daughter’ side. There was anger coming from his wife’s side and his daughter’s side.They were blaming Ben even though he was the one who kept them alive.Ben got angry and quarreled with them a lot, so much so his chest burned and hurt very much.That night, Ben could not sleep.He was afraid of his situation. He questioned the whole life he led and what he ac
CHAPTER 229
At Serenity company.There were twenty new workers, so the place looked lively right now. Everyone was working with zeal as this was their first day at work.In the CEO’s room.Cecilia finished talking with her grandmother on mobile and sighed, “She seems to be depressed. I want to go and see her, but she’s in the O’Brian mansion. Should I go back there after I come out of that house?”Emma barged into the room.“Did you watch the news?” she asked Cecilia. “They are saying that Kevin took 100 million dollar debt from Draknor Finance! H-Hundred freaking million!”“Yeah. I did. They say that he used the money for gambling and lottery, but that’s ridiculous,” Cecilia said with a calm face. “He’s probably used that money to pay off his father’s debt.”“His father’s debt?” Emma blinked twice. “Wait, his father made a debt again? A 100 million this time?”Cecilia remained silent.“Wow, this is unbelievable. Why are you letting Kevin pay for his father’s mistakes?” Emma asked. “I can underst
CHAPTER 230
“Kyaah~!”Emma let out a wild scream out of pure fear as she fell back.She thought she was going to suffer a nasty injury, but her body stopped midway.She looked back and saw Adam’s big hand pressing against her small back. With just one hand, he was able to stop her momentum and also bear her weight.“Careful, Miss,” Adam said.“T-Thank you,” Emma said, trying to calm her heart down. But she was surprised that he was able to stop her with such ease.He was stronger than he appeared.“Keep your core stable, and your legs will listen to you even when you’re not looking down at the stairs,” Adam said.“I’ll keep that in mind, but have you walked in high heels before?”“No, I haven’t.”“Then what makes you think your advice will also work for me?”“I talked about the skeleton, not the shell, so when you’re wearing footwear or not doesn’t really matter. Even if your foot happened to strike the stair, if you core was stable, you wouldn’t have fallen back like that.”“I see. Thank you for
