Meanwhile, at the Whitmore mansion, 01:15 AM.Charles Whitmore sat on his luxurious living room sofa, holding a glass of whiskey while staring at his phone with an anxious gaze.It had been over an hour past the time Viktor promised.It should have been finished by now.Viktor should have already reported.Charles looked at the large wall clock in the living room—the short hand pointed to 1, the long hand to 3.01:15."Why is it taking so long?" he thought impatiently. "Just to capture one useless former soldier, he needs this much time?!"He raised his whiskey glass, drank it all, then placed it hard on the table."A pathetic ant like Lein Ashford should be very easy to capture. What is Viktor doing? Is he playing around with that bastard first?"Charles began to feel annoyed.This morning, he had already promised Richard that he would bring Lein to the Anthony family mansion.He had already promised to make Lein kneel before Damian.He had already promised to prove that he was worth

Charles sat back on the sofa, staring at his phone with an anxious gaze.Ten minutes later—RING! RING! RING!His phone rang.Unknown number.Charles immediately answered without hesitation."Hello?"A heavy and cold voice answered from the other end—a voice that sounded dangerous."This is Drake. Give me the name and describe the person's characteristics, and when he was last seen. I promise I'll bring this person to you after sunrise."Charles smiled with satisfaction. "Good! Very good!"He immediately explained:"His name is Lein Ashford. Twenty-six-year-old man. About six feet tall, athletic build, short black hair. Last seen yesterday morning at Corholt High School."On the other end of the phone, Drake listened calmly.Then—"Alright. I'll capture him. Wait for my word after sunrise."CLICK!The call ended.Charles lowered his phone, a wide smile carved on his face."This time it will work. I'm very sure of it!"---Avalon Hill Villa - Morning.Lein slowly opened his eyes, feeli

Lein drove his Mercedes calmly, passing through Corholt's streets that were beginning to fill with morning traffic.In the back seat, Milady and Lily chatted softly, occasionally looking out the window with admiring gazes at the city scenery. It had been a long time since they enjoyed a moment like this.But Lein...Lein looked at the rearview mirror with a sharp gaze.A black sedan. Four cars behind.That car had been following them since they left Avalon Hill.Turn right—the black sedan also turned right.Turn left—the black sedan also turned left.Lein narrowed his eyes slightly."Charles..."He was impressed.Just last night Viktor and his team failed, and now Charles had already sent someone else?"Interesting. That man doesn't give up easily."Lein showed no expression on his face—remaining calm, as if nothing was happening.He would deal with them at the shopping center.Twenty minutes later, Lein's black Mercedes stopped in front of a magnificent building with large letters ab

While Lein was dealing with Drake, Lily and Milady walked around looking at things.They walked slowly among the rows of luxury stores, staring at the window displays with eyes full of admiration.Lily occasionally stopped, looking at beautiful bags or shoes behind the glass, then continued walking with a small smile on her face.Milady looked at her daughter with a gentle gaze—happy to see Lily happy.It had been a long time since they could enjoy a moment like this.Then—Lily's attention was drawn to a branded store in the corner of the second floor.ELARA COUTURE.The store's window display was filled with elegant clothes—dresses, blazers, skirts, blouses—all with beautiful designs and fabrics that looked very luxurious.Lily stared at one dress in the window—a sea blue dress with beautiful gold embroidery details.Her eyes sparkled."Mom," she said in a soft but enthusiastic voice. "Look. This store has clothes that would suit you."Without waiting for an answer, Lily gently pull

Lily and Milady froze, while the saleswoman folded her arms across her chest, showing a condescending expression.She looked Lein up and down—ordinary casual clothes, a face that showed no signs of wealth.It didn't take much intelligence to know this man was part of the same poor family."Wrap them all?" she said in a mocking tone. "Do you know how much all the clothes here cost?!"Lein didn't answer.He just looked at the saleswoman with a flat gaze, then pulled something from his pocket.A card.Black.Gleaming under the store's crystal lights.Obsidian Elite Card.Lein raised the card casually, looking at the saleswoman with a calm gaze."Do I look like I can't afford to buy them all?"The saleswoman fell silent.Her eyes locked on the black card in Lein's hand.An exclusive card.A card only owned by super-rich people—people with assets of hundreds or even billions of dollars.Her face changed—from condescending to... panicked."A-ah... I-I'm sorry, Sir..." she said stammering, h

After all the clothes were neatly wrapped, Lein, Lily, and Milady walked out of MAISON DE LUXE with their hands full of luxury shopping bags.The store salespeople helped carry several large boxes to the car, smiling warmly the whole way.They walked toward the parking lot with slow steps.Lily walked beside Lein, both hands holding several branded shopping bags—bags with golden logos gleaming under the plaza lights.Her eyes couldn't leave those bags.She carefully opened one bag, peeking inside, and her eyes immediately sparkled.Inside, neatly folded, was a light blue dress with beautiful silver embroidery details.The dress she had seen in the window display earlier.The dress she thought she could only look at from afar.Lily stared at that dress with a gaze full of admiration."I... I once imagined owning clothes like this..."Her voice was soft, full of emotion."And I thought it was just a dream. Impossible for me to own it."She closed the bag slowly, then looked at Lein with

Edmund slammed his hand hard on the armrest.BAM!A loud sound echoed throughout the room.Everyone flinched.Edmund stared ahead with a sharp gaze, full of deep anger."I knew it!" he shouted loudly. "That little bastard has truly become a threat to the Anthony family! He must be eliminated right now!"Richard, Margaret, and Victoria were silent for a few moments.Their faces showed complex expressions—a mixture of disbelief and... fear.Lein Ashford?That trash?Impossible he could become a threat to the great Anthony family!But...They couldn't just ignore it.The facts were right before their eyes.Lein had defeated Marcus very easily. And now... he killed someone sent by Charles!Richard clenched his fists tightly, his jaw hardening.That bastard really must be eliminated now... before he slowly erodes this family!"Alright, Father," Richard said in a firm tone. "I'll call Jonathan now to come home and handle Lein."Edmund nodded in agreement, his gaze still sharp.Richard took

Avalon Hill, Villa No. 65 - 11:00 AM.Brittany sat relaxed on a garden chair in her yard, enjoying a cup of chamomile tea while playing with her phone.The warm morning sunlight touched her skin. A gentle breeze blew softly.A perfect Sunday to relax.Then—The sound of footsteps came from behind her."Brittany."Her father's heavy voice—Daniel Cooper—sounded from the direction of the front door.Brittany turned lazily. "What is it, Father?"Daniel walked closer, his face serious but full of enthusiasm. "I just got word. Avalon Hill No. 1 is now occupied."Brittany frowned. "Avalon Hill No. 1? That most expensive villa?""Yes," Daniel answered in a meaningful tone. "The hundred million dollar villa. Whoever bought it must be a top-tier conglomerate, people with extraordinary power and wealth."Brittany looked at her father with a bored gaze. "So why are you telling me?"Daniel smiled thinly. "I want you to deliver a gift for them. As a welcome for the new neighbors."Brittany rolled h

Brittany stared at Milady with wide eyes, her face pale."A-are you serious?" she asked in a trembling voice, not believing it.Milady answered in a calm but firm tone, "Yes, I am Lily's mother and the owner of this villa is my son."Hearing that, Brittany was so shocked she almost dropped her gift basket.She stepped back, saying with a disbelieving expression, "I-impossible! Lily is just a maid and her brother is just a lowly soldier! I-it's impossible for her brother to buy a villa this big and expensive!"Right after that, a calm voice sounded from the direction of the villa door."I am the owner of this villa."Brittany flinched, turning toward the voice.There, Lein walked out with casual steps, hands in his pants pockets, his gaze cold.Seeing Lein, fear showed on Brittany's face.She remembered the moment at school yesterday—when Lein looked at her with a cold gaze that made her spine tingle.But...She still couldn't accept this fact!Lein and Lily were poor!Lily's mother th

Damian knocked on his father's study door loudly.KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!"Come in," Richard's voice was heard from inside.Damian opened the door hastily, stepping in with ragged breath."Father!" he said loudly. "I just got important news!"Richard looked at his son seriously. "What is it?"Damian swallowed, then said quickly, "Lein... Lein bought Avalon Hill No. 1! That villa worth a hundred million dollars!"A moment of silence.Richard looked at Damian with a disbelieving face."What?" he said softly, as if not sure he heard correctly."Lein Ashford bought Avalon Hill No. 1!" Damian repeated loudly. "And Milady... she's suddenly healthy! No longer sickly!"Richard fell silent, his eyes slowly widening. He ignored the news about Milady. His focus was only on Lein.That bastard... bought a house worth a hundred million?!Impossible!Even the Anthony family couldn't easily spend a hundred million dollars on a house!"Where did you get this information?" Richard asked in a sharp tone."
