Chapter 261: Vespera
Dominic’s expression darkened, a shadow of memories passing over his face. "Twenty-three years ago, the Aldridge family stood at the very summit of global authority," Dominic began in a hushed, intense whisper. "Nobody could challenge them and they were so private but overnight, internal conflicts erupted. Master Julian, the prime heir, had a fallout with Old Master Midas and vanished without a trace. Shortly after, the entire family structure mysteriously dissolved from the public eye. They wiped their official records, changed their tracks, and vanished into thin air like ghosts.” "When Old Master Midas called me back then and told me I would no longer be working for the family, I was completely caught off guard," Lord Dominic recalled, a look of profound nostalgia filling his eyes. "I even pleaded with him to let me stay. Honestly, I was making more money serving the Aldridge family than anyone could ever imagine. But then, God being so good, Old Master Midas wired three milli
Chapter 262: Odin & Lucian Vespera
As the heavy convoy merged onto the main highway leading into Valaris, it immediately turned the entire road into a grand spectacle.A fleet of over ten black luxury vehicles moving together in strict, disciplined formation was impossible to ignore. The massive Rolls-Royce Phantom led the line, surrounded by escort SUVs with dark, heavily tinted windows that gave off a cold, intimidating presence.Other drivers on the highway instinctively slowed down and cleared the fast lane, pulling off to the side to let the mysterious procession glide past smoothly. On the sidewalks, bus stops, and pedestrian bridges, passersby stopped dead in their tracks, pointing and quickly pulling out their phones to take videos"Woah, look at that!" a man stuck in traffic exclaimed, leaning out of his car window to stare. "Is the Governor passing through today or what?”"No way," his passenger replied, her eyes wide with shock as she recorded the cars. "Even the Governor’s squad doesn't look this expensive!
Chapter 263: Yara Sloane
"That's strange," Odin said, her eyes narrowing slightly. "Not that strange," Lucian said, waving his hand dismissively. "Our family assets are worth way more than twenty billion." "That's not what he meant," Odin explained, turning her gaze back to her brother. "This is a single person with ten billion dollars. As a matter of fact, they are an individual, not an entire family." "Still nothing impressive," Lucian proudly said, leaning back into the soft leather seat with a smirk. "All that matters is that I am in this city now. That makes me the richest young master in town currently." Over the speaker, the lead man chuckled and nodded. "You're right, Young Master.” Meanwhile, deep underground in a lit concrete luxurious designed bunker, a heavy silence hung over a long metal table. Dozens of heavily armed men in dark gear were busy cleaning high-powered rifles, loading magazines, and organizing tactical weapons in neat rows. Suddenly, the heavy steel doors swung open. A scout
Chapter 264: The Bounty
Yara slowly lowered her sword, for several seconds, she said nothing. Then she slid the blade back into its sheath with a quiet metallic click.“Obsidian Serpent isn't a group of disposable assassins,” she said coldly. “They are there to maintain order in Valaris, not to clean up every problem your people create.”The smoking boss frowned. “But these are the children of Oliver Vespera. If they are here, shouldn't we—”“Shouldn't we what?” Yara's cold eyes settled on him. “Kill them?”The room fell silent, Yara turned away and walked toward the motorcycle.“Not yet.”The smoking boss frowned. “Why?”“Because we don't know why they came.” She slowly looked back over her shoulder.“And until the Master gives his order, nobody touches either of them.”The scout swallowed. “But Lady Yara, what if they discover—”Yara's expression instantly hardened. “They won't, because if the Vespera children discover what their family buried many years ago, Valaris won't be the only place that burns.”He
Chapter 265: Code-07
Meanwhile, after having a meal, Kael drove through the streets of Valaris, his mind still occupied with everything that had happened over the past few hours. After driving for several more minutes, he suddenly pulled the GLE toward the roadside and brought out his phone.He stared at the screen for a moment before a faint smile appeared on his face as if remembering something."I think it's time I start making proper use of those three brothers. They have potential, and if I give them the right opportunities, they could become useful to me in the future.”With that thought, Kael searched through his contacts and called one of the brothers. The call connected almost immediately."Hello, Sir," one of the brothers answered respectfully."Where are you and your brothers?" Kael asked. "Can you come down to Crestview Drive? Pick a cab once you get there, and I will pay the fare.""We will be right there, Sir! We are actually already on Crestview Drive," the brother replied happily."Good,"
Chapter 266: Jax, Dax, Pax
“Before the Aldridge family evaporated, you personally gave me three million dollars. I took that money, built my own security firm, and eventually gained the title Lord Dominic.”On the other end of the line, Midas stood completely still. His mind immediately went back twenty-three years. He remembered Code-07—the loyal security commander who had protected their inner ring until the very end.The security code names of the Aldridge family were top secret, known only to Midas himself."Code-07..." Midas muttered, his cold tone softening with genuine surprise. "How was it possible for you to find me? Have you been tracking me?”"No, Sir, I never tracked you," Lord Dominic said quickly. "Even though I tried to find where the Aldridge family went in the past, all my efforts came to nothing."Midas was not surprised to hear that, after the fall twenty-three years ago, he had used a vast fortune to quietly buy up the entire region of Beryland, erase every official record of the Aldridge na
Chapter 267: Lucian & Odins Invitation
Kael nodded. "Yes, that banquet."Hearing his confirmation, Jax, Dax, and Pax smiled widely and nodded their heads rapidly."Of course we want to go, Boss!" Jax said happily."There will definitely be a lot of great food at a place like that!"Kael was stunned, they were this excited about a grand banquet filled with Valaris elite simply because of the food?He shook his head and asked, "Are you all hungry right now?"The three brothers quickly admitted it, looking a little embarrassed. "We ate earlier, Boss, but it was barely anything. It was not enough to satisfy our hunger," Dax said honestly.Kael nodded in understanding. "We will go get some good clothes for you first. After that, you can have any type of meal you want."Hearing those words, Jax, Dax, and Pax felt deeply touched. Their eyes turned slightly warm as they began thanking him over and over again from
Chapter 268: Aurelia Atelier
"How are you both enjoying the city?" Oliver Vespera asked over the phone.Odin smiled and said, "Well, we can't say much yet, Dad. We just arrived. If I have anything to report, it will be after tomorrow evening.""After tomorrow evening?" Oliver asked, his tone turning curious. "What is happening tomorrow evening?"Odin replied, "We are attending the Heritage Banquet dinner."Lucian leaned closer to the phone and asked, "Dad, do you know about that event?"Oliver said, "Yes, back when our Vespera family was still based in Valaris, we used to host the Heritage Banquet dinner as well.""Wow, that is surprising, but this time, all the major families are hosting it together." Lucian responded."No, that cannot be," Oliver said, his voice filled with doubt. "The Heritage Banquet is never hosted together, It is always hosted separately by each big family so their individual announcements can stand out and make waves across the city. What do you mean it is being hosted together?""Yes, Dad
Chapter 269: Sales Attendant At Aurelia Artelia
Kael turned to look at the three brothers. To his surprise, there was no shock on their faces. They were completely calm, which meant they were already used to being treated this way.He felt anger rising inside him. In the past, he was always the one wearing cheap clothes and getting insulted. Today, he was dressed well, but the people with him were being looked down on. It made him just as furious."Why are you trying to kick them out?" Kael asked."I am sorry, but this place is not for people like them," the lady said, using her hand to point at the three brothers from head to toe."Why?" Kael asked."Because if you look at their clothes, they clearly do not have enough money," the sales attendant said snobbishly. "This is Aurelia Atelier. Everything here is very expensive. The people who come here are rich young masters and ladies, at least, they dress well."Before she could finish, Kael interrupted her. "So you expect people who come to buy new clothes to already be wearing new
Chapter 270: Vesperas @ Aurelia Artelia
Kael looked at the luxury convoy parked outside and was genuinely impressed. The sleek cars were the newest, most advanced models on the market. Anyone arriving with such an escort was undeniably extraordinarily wealthy.Lucian and Odin walked through the open glass doors, flanked by their tall security team. Lucian glanced around the grand showroom and nodded lightly."This place is really beautiful," Lucian said smoothly. "Just like our luxury stores back in the States."Winston walked beside them and said respectfully, "I brought you here to Aurelia Atelier because it is one of the premier fashion houses in Valaris, Young Master. You can select whatever you wish for tomorrow's Heritage Banquet dinner."Odin smiled softly and said, "I hope I can find something good here. The sales lady, who had just been speaking to Kael so roughly, instantly wiped the sneer from her face. She adjusted her outfit and rushed forward with a broad, beaming smile."Welcome to Aurelia Atelier!" the lady
