The rest of the day was busy for Derek, his emissary, and the lawyers. They spent hours freezing accounts, dismissing some employees, rehiring others, and handling the many issues that had piled up during the period Joseph Whitmore controlled the Hilton family’s assets.It turned out all Joseph was doing was squander money and didn’t care about the business. It was a good thing Derek took back his conglomerate in time, else the damage would have been irreparable. There was a lot to put in order, and Derek was determined to ensure everything returned to normal as quickly as possible.Darren, on the other hand, had little to do. His grandfather and the others were occupied with business matters, leaving him with plenty of free time.After everything that had happened, he felt it would be a waste to spend such an exciting day sitting around doing nothing. He decided to call Alicia and Eddie and invite them out to a restaurant.Fortunately, both of them were available and agreed to mee

Later that afternoon, a sleek Range Rover pulled up in front of Blake's mansion.The car came to a stop, and a moment later, its doors opened. Eddie, Darren, and Alicia stepped out.They had come to visit Adrian and see how he was doing after the terrible incident.However, while Alicia and Eddie seemed perfectly comfortable, Darren was struggling to keep himself calm.He had known this visit was a bad idea from the beginning, but he hadn't found a convincing excuse to stay behind without raising Alicia's suspicions.Now that he was standing in front of Blake's mansion, he couldn't help feeling nervous.“What the hell am I doing here?”He was coming to check on someone whose current condition was his responsibility. It was almost ridiculous.Guilt gnawed at his conscience, but he forced himself to maintain a calm expression.He had to keep his composure. No matter what happened, he couldn't allow anyone to discover his involvement in the incident.With Alicia and Eddie leading the way

Meanwhile, on a small private island not far from the city, a helicopter descended from the sky and landed on an open patch of ground.As soon as the blades stopped spinning, the door opened, and a man wearing a half mask stepped out.His presence carried a cold, intimidating aura. Even without saying a word, he gave off an air of authority that made those around him reluctant to approach without permission.The entire island was surrounded by a tall fence reinforced with electrical wires. Warning signs bearing the words ‘NO TRESPASSING’ were placed at regular intervals along the fence, making it clear that unauthorized visitors were not welcome.Several dozen armed men guarded the island. They were positioned at strategic points, keeping watch over the surrounding waters and the paths leading deeper into the island.The moment the masked man appeared, the leader of the security team hurried forward and bowed respectfully.“Welcome, Supreme One.”The masked man gave him a slight nod.

Darren stared at the ring on his finger, lost in thought.The Legacy System had been one of the most valuable things in his life, especially after his family lost everything. He still remembered the day he received it, when he had been on the brink of death.He had been bleeding heavily in a small restaurant in a small town, after being brutally stabbed. He had thought his life was over, but the system had appeared and saved him.It had revived him, protected him from danger, and given him extraordinary strength and abilities he could never have imagined possessing. With its help, he had overcome powerful enemies, earned enormous sums of money, and eventually helped his grandfather recover the properties Joseph Whitmore had stolen from their family.Without the system, his life might have ended in that restaurant.For everything it had done for him, Darren couldn't be more grateful.However, as he continued staring at the ring, another side of his journey came to mind.The system had

Darren sat in the back seat of the SUV as the convoy moved through the city. He leaned against the seat, took out the sheet of paper Derek had given him, and began examining the names written on it.There were several people on the list, each suspected of benefiting from Joseph Whitmore's illegal takeover of the Hilton family's properties. Darren would have to track them down and ensure that whatever they had received from Joseph was returned to its rightful owners.His eyes moved down the page until they reached the first name.A small grin appeared on his face.President Winchester.“Interesting,” Darren muttered, staring at the name for a moment.He remembered very well how the president had treated him and his grandfather when they had gone to the Government House to seek his assistance. At the time, Derek had been desperate for help, yet Winchester had not only refused to stand by his old friend but had also betrayed him when it mattered most.The president had chosen to protect
