We quickly arrived at the director's office.Kevin walked up to the door and said in a soft tone, "Mr. Manson? Mr. Wayne is here.""Please come in!" said a loud, powerful voice.Kevin pushed the door open and led me in."Mr. Manson, it's a pleasure to meet you here. This is David Wayne. Please apprise Mr. Wayne of the situation," said Kevin with a smile.Jason nodded and shifted his gaze to me, saying in a gentle tone, "Mr. Wayne, you might be unaware of the situation. Please allow me to explain briefly. Your father's medical records were read to me. He is in bad shape, with the brain damage being the most serious. Internal injuries are also difficult to treat, but they should be easy to deal with. Considering our hospital's capability, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make it. Dr. Moore will visit our hospital this time for academic communication, but he will only teach us a few lessons. Now, he should be the only one who can heal your father's internal i

"As I've already mentioned, I'm not interested in taking you on as my subordinate, but perhaps we can be friends," I said lightly.During the course of this argument, I realized that Larry was a decisive individual, a nice person, and someone who deserved to be my friend. In addition to that, he held a prominent position in society. I was certain that the two of us would get along fine on our own.On the other hand, I should not have had him as a subordinate. Due to the fact that he was exceptional, it would be challenging for him to voluntarily serve in a position of subordination to another person. It was possible that he would betray me.As such, I would prefer to use the wager to win Larry's friendship, which would evoke in him a sense of gratitude toward me and motivate him to assist me. This was the superior alternative.Larry sat back in his chair and stared at me as if he were perplexed. "Are you sure?""I don't bother lying." I shrugged.Larry

Based on the words and actions of the guys in front of me, I was able to tell the difference between regular punks and people involved in the underworld.Although the men in front of me were not from the underworld, they reminded me of those bad guys. From what I had seen and heard up until now, I concluded they primarily engaged in violent coercion and forced demolition.This was the most despised thing in Ambrosia. I was curious how they managed to live in the city."If you stop now, your friend might still have a chance. But if you keep fighting, he might die," I said with a faint smile, avoiding the three people's attacks.It seemed my three attackers did not, but the leader did.He immediately yelled at the top of his lungs, "Stop right now!"The three men came to a sudden halt and stood motionless. Confounded, they turned to face their boss and demanded angrily, "Paolo, he has already murdered Joseph. Why did you ask us to stop? Can't we defeat hi

"You are welcome to try." I looked at Reid, then at Roy, who was standing beside me.Roy would be the most difficult obstacle if Victor sent someone over to assist me. I needed to get Kate out of the restaurant as soon as possible."Let's talk about it after you transfer two million dollars to me. Perhaps there will be a chance in the future," Reid said in a cold voice, raised his eyebrows, and flashed a meaningful smile.I got what he was saying. If I gave him the money, he would find another way to cause me trouble, using me as a cash cow and extracting all of my worth. But it would never happen because I had seen my several bodyguards outside the door."I'm afraid you won't have the chance to do that," I sneered and tugged at Kate's sleeves.Kate shot me a puzzled look but didn't say anything. When she looked around the restaurant, she noticed several bodyguards stationed at the entrance. She then turned around."What? Do you still want your wife to

Kelly was clearly taken aback when she saw me. "Aren't you Kate's husband?" she inquired as she rushed up to me."Yes," I said hesitantly. If it were not for the fact that she was Kate's college classmate, I would not have bothered to talk to her.Kelly could tell I was hesitant, so she said in a cold voice, "Okay. You can then take a look. However, let me remind you that villas in Firenze cost at least a million dollars. You should consider whether or not you want to purchase one here."Then, she walked away without looking back. I saw the disgust on her face before she turned around. Because of what she said earlier, I would have taught her a lesson had I not been reluctant to lower myself to cause her trouble.After Kelly had left, another slim girl approached me. Her hair was yellow, and she was clearly malnourished. Her face was beautiful, but she appeared to be a little run down."Sir, hello. My name is Rachel Turner. I am a saleslady here. Do you wish
