Noah smiled. “Why should I kill one of my elders?”Jennifer whooped with delight.Gilbert laughed. “I told you! The boss isn't someone you should mess with.”Mason placed his head on the floor. “I deserve death for challenging you!”He couldn't have imagined it. He thought the real Cedric was very weak. Jay was very strong and going against him as a weak Cedric would not favour anyone.But it clearly looked like he just made a huge mistake. Cedric was as strong as his father.Noah moved closer, “Arise.”Mason stood up instantly, his eyes full of admiration for Noah. “The real Cedric is strong. You are fit for this position but I'm afraid Jay holds most of the power now.”Noah glanced at Gilbert. “My father's PA?”Mason nodded once. “But he's currently the regent of Cedric. By the end of this year, the succession ceremony will happen and he will cease to be the regent. But even at that, he would hold the overall power as the eldest because of how close he was with Alaric,” he explained.

“What just happened?”“Did you just cheat!” Pedro yelled. “Do you even know the consequences of cheating at Il Leone casino?”Almost immediately, Mike signalled to one of his men. He felt triggered by the fact that Noah wanted to win Pedro by cheating. “Cheating has critical consequences over here. How dare you!”Noah huffed. “Watch!” He muttered and gently hit the side of the cup. Almost immediately, powdered fragments rained softly down, spreading like ash.Shock passed through everyone. Even Pedro's eyes went wide and black with shock.“Is that zero?”“Yes! That's a legendary move! He crushed those dice! He turned them to dust to represent zero!”“What! How did he do it? The only person who has been able to do that was Alaric Rory!““You mean Il Leone himself?”“Who is this man then?”Pedro slumped instantly and went into a trance. He couldn't believe that he just lost his entire life to a stranger.Mike felt disappointed. He shook his head briefly before he walked away.Every othe

Aria stared at her mother in disbelief, her chest tightening. “Mom! How can you say that?”“How can I say what?” Mia shot back.“Mason Hall isn’t easy to book.”“Why not?” Mia scoffed. “Aren’t they all in Casington? They’re all close to him, aren’t they?”“Exactly,” Adrian chimed in. “If he could get you the LussoTech contract, shouldn’t he be able to get you Mason Hall, too?”“But, Mom,” Aria cried. “It’s not the same thing. Mason Hall has to be booked months in advance. Grandpa’s birthday is next week!”“Well,” David cut in, his brows lifting mockingly, “didn’t he call himself the heir? Then this shouldn’t be a problem.”“But…” “Enough,” Mia interrupted sharply. “If he can’t do this one little thing, then it’ll prove he’s not who he claims to be. And when that happens, you’ll break up with him and marry Donald instead.”Aria’s heart sank.She looked at Noah, silently pleading for help, but she already knew it was pointless. There was nothing he could do.Getting Mason Hall within a

“Your position as the sixth member of SL,” Noah said, his voice calm but resolute. Almost immediately, comments came flying from around the corners.“This man, I must admit, is quite funny. Trying to negotiate a position when his life is on the line.”“He must have a death wish.”Noah looked at Jennifer and he could see the fear in her eyes. He smiled at her reassuringly then turned back to Mike. “Do we have a deal?” Noah looked at Jennifer, and he could see the fear in her eyes. He smiled at her reassuringly, then turned back to Mike, his eyes hard. “Do we have a deal?”Mike nodded once without even thinking about it. “Deal! Proceed!”What was there to think about anyway when Noah would lose?Cal laughed and pulled out a gun from behind his back. He emptied the gun, letting the bullets clink softly onto the table one after the other. Then he picked up a single round, slid it back into the chamber, and snapped the cylinder shut.His eyes were fixated on Noah as he spun it, but Noa

In the Giles family villa, the entire family gathered to discuss the preparations for Kyle’s upcoming birthday celebration.“I think we should invite Miss Jennifer to the party,” Kyle suggested, looking around at his children as he waited for their opinions.“That’s a good idea, Dad,” Cynthia agreed. “I also think we should have the event broadcast. It’ll show everyone who looked down on you just how far you’ve come.”“Exactly,” Adrian chimed in. “If we want a huge turnout, broadcasting it is the best option.”Kyle nodded thoughtfully before turning to Aria.“So, Aria, you’ll personally deliver the invitation to Jennifer,” he said, then shifted his gaze to Cynthia. “When will the invitation cards be ready?”“They should be ready tomorrow,” Cynthia replied. “We just haven’t finalized the venue yet.”Remembering the deal she had made with Noah, Mia immediately turned to Aria.“Aria, what about what we discussed with your boyfriend?”“That’s right,” Adrian added. “Wasn’t he supposed to se
