At International airport, a group of twenty well-built men in black suits rushed out of the arrival gate, their faces tense as if preparing for an imminent battle. Without hesitation, they lined up and strode toward the sidewalk outside the terminal, each step exuding alertness and discipline.

On a nearby bench sat a young man in his early thirties, slowly exhaling a stream of cigarette smoke. His name was Dixon Edric.

"Welcome, Young Master Dixon," said Edy respectfully from three steps behind him. "Mr. Abraham hopes you’ll come home. He misses you dearly."

To most, Edy was a powerful and respected leader—someone no one dared to challenge. But in front of Dixon, he seemed small and powerless.

Dixon turned slightly, his expression unreadable. "Does he miss me... or does he miss my power and money?"

Words like that would usually spark outrage, but not this time. Because the man before him was no ordinary figure. He was the sole heir of the Edric family, the most powerful family in Reddof.

"When he threw me out and married that woman, I stopped being part of the Edric family," Dixon said, exhaling the last of his smoke. "Dixon no longer belongs to them."

His voice grew cold and sharp. "Don’t send anyone after me again. If you do... I’ll kill every last one of them."

With that, Dixon rose and walked away, leaving Edy behind, fists clenched in silent frustration.

In the parking area, a car was already waiting. Dixon got in and made a quick call. "Witan, is everything ready? Send me the address."

After ending the call, he pulled out a pink handkerchief from his pocket. The moment he touched it, his mind drifted fifteen years into the past.

He had been just a boy then—homeless, hungry, freezing in the streets. A young girl in plain clothes had offered him a piece of bread and this very handkerchief to wipe his sweat.

Not long after, a mysterious figure took him away, and when he returned, the world trembled.

Twelve years had passed since then. Now, with godlike power capable of shaking nations, Dixon chose to return. Quietly.

***

Meanwhile, at the Fairmont Hotel…

The well-known Hamilton family had received a marriage proposal from a man said to be the “perfect match” for their granddaughter, sparking buzz throughout the city’s elite circles.

Inside one of the hotel’s private rooms, Diana Hamilton sat with red, teary eyes and a heart full of dread.

Her mother, Yoruna Velto, stood up, her face flushed with fury.

"William, that family is no good! If you’re still a man, go and reject your father’s decision!" Yoruna shouted at her husband. "Are you really going to let them destroy your daughter’s life?"

The Hamiltons had started out with a small shop, and in just fifteen years, they had climbed their way to becoming a third-tier wealthy family in Reddof. The family patriarch, Harry Hamilton, was known as a self-made success story.

He had three sons: Steven, Nico, and William.

Steven had taken over most of the family business. Nico was tasked with expanding their reach into other cities. William, on the other hand, had lost both legs in an accident and was left to live quietly at home—overlooked and dismissed by his brothers.

Steven and Nico conspired to convince Harry to arrange a marriage for Diana—one that would ensure she stayed away from the family business. Diana, after graduating from university, had quickly risen through the ranks of the Hamilton Group, surpassing the achievements of her cousins with ease.

Now, the candidates chosen for her were clearly unqualified—some much older than her, one with a history of mental illness.

This wasn’t about finding a husband for Diana. It was about sabotaging her.

William was angry, too. But he lacked the courage to go against his father’s will.

He knew Harry’s temper—stubborn and absolute. No one in the family dared challenge his decisions.

"He’s still her grandfather. He wouldn’t do anything to hurt her," William finally muttered, clearly unsure of his own words.

Yoruna pointed a trembling finger at him, her voice cracking through her tears. "I regret marrying a man as weak as you!"

She knew William had always been obedient, especially after his accident. He’d become even more passive, unable to stand up to the injustice.

But Yoruna also knew this marriage would destroy their daughter’s future and drag their family’s name through the mud.

As Yoruna sobbed and shouted, Diana cried silently. William gripped his numb thigh, his heart full of self-blame and helplessness.

"Mom, please… don’t yell at Dad," Diana said, managing a faint smile through the tears staining her pretty face.

She understood this scheme perfectly. Her uncles feared her rise. They feared she would take over the Hamilton Group entirely. So they pushed her into marriage to silence her.

William looked at his trembling daughter and turned away from his wife’s scornful glare. He knew their position in the Hamilton family was weak, but at least they still had a roof over their heads. If they refused this marriage, they would lose everything.

In the hotel’s grand hall, the lights sparkled brilliantly as all the guests took their seats.

Harry sat at the center of attention, dressed impeccably, his cane resting on his lap, a proud smile on his face.

"It’s time, Father," Steven said beside him, handing him an elegant business card.

Harry stood up slowly. All eyes turned toward him.

"Today, I will officially announce the man I have chosen to be my granddaughter Diana’s husband."

Applause erupted across the hall. But to Diana, it felt like thunder mocking her.

Steven handed the card to his father. They had chosen someone with no wealth, no education, no background. A man over thirty, an orphan, jobless, and even mentally unstable.

Once the marriage was official, Diana would be cut off from the family business. Even her children would be denied any inheritance.

Harry squinted at the business card, trying to read the name clearly. Then, with a loud voice, he declared, "Diana’s future husband is… Dixon Edric!"

In an instant, every guest turned their head toward the grand entrance of the hall.

  • 621-Don't Call Me Uncle!

    Meanwhile, The atmosphere slowly calmed down as dozens of security guards flooded the scene. "Call an ambulance! Hurry!" Edo shouted, his voice echoing. Yonus was still lying on the floor. Although he was no longer pinned down, the two arrows were still lodged in his legs. No one dared to pull them out, fearing it would worsen the bleeding. Abraham supported Yonus with one hand while pressing down on the wound with the other, trying to stop the steady flow of fresh blood. "Hold on a little longer. Once the doctor arrives, you will be fine," Abraham said, trying to reassure him. Yonus’s lips trembled. His face was pale, his eyes red and watery from the unbearable pain. Even so, he forced himself to speak. "Uncle... Abraham... th-thank you..." His voice was weak and broken. "Don’t talk anymore," Abraham shook his head firmly. "Stay strong. The ambulance will be here any second!" Yonus only gave a faint nod. In his mind, he vividly recalled how, at the brink of death, his own fa

  • 620-Hey, Wake Up...

    Yonus was still lying on the floor. The arrow had pierced through his thigh, pinning him down and making it impossible for him to move. His cries grew more gut-wrenching. Edo panicked and wanted to help, but he had no idea what to do. "Help! Somebody help!" Edo shouted desperately. Hearing his son's screams, Edo felt like his heart was about to leap out of his chest. Was this killer insane?! The target was supposed to be Abraham! Why was he attacking Yonus instead?! "Why are you still standing there?! Help him!" Edo was still frozen when Abraham rushed over, using all his strength to pull out the arrow. "Yonus, hang on! I will save you!" Abraham yelled as he snapped the arrow, his palms scraping badly in the process. Then, another arrow flew! Edo felt his soul nearly leave his body. The arrow shot straight toward Abraham, missing his heart by just inches and grazing his shoulder. Even Edo could not hold back his scream. "Watch out!" He never expected Abraham to ris

  • 619-A Sniper

    Earlier, Edo might still have had some doubts. But when he saw Abraham arrive alone, he became even more certain that the man was hoping Dixon would show up. “Ladies and gentlemen,” Royo stood on the stage, his voice loud and commanding. “I am truly pleased to welcome you all to tonight’s exhibition. It is a great honor to have you here!” “The companies invited here today are some of the most influential in the northern region. Their products have been well received in the market.” He continued confidently, “Tonight, I want all of us to interact, build connections, and create opportunities for collaboration. The goal is not only to strengthen the northern economy, but also to open more doors for everyone here.” A round of applause immediately filled the hall. “The exhibition is right behind me, with all the products on display. Please, take a look around, ask questions, and give feedback. I hope tonight marks the beginning of new partnerships that will bring prosperity to the nor

  • 618-Dixon Wasn't Coming

    "Royo, I remember you," Abraham replied casually with a slight smile. "Good... At such a young age, you've already accomplished a lot. Since you're hosting an event this big, of course I had to come to show my support." "Thank you for your support, Uncle Abraham Edric. The younger generation still needs guidance from seniors like you," Royo said with a smile, then gestured politely. "Please, come in and have a seat." Abraham nodded and walked in. To everyone’s surprise, even Jack was nowhere to be seen. "He must be insane!" some people whispered. Abraham came without his personal bodyguard. It was as if he either believed the assassination threat was just a rumor or was simply too confident in himself. Beatrice’s heart was pounding. She had no idea what Abraham was thinking. She had even gone to the Edric family estate to warn him to stay away from this exhibition if possible. Yet Abraham still came. Even worse, he came alone without Jack, his well-known, skilled bodygua

  • 617-The Exhibition

    Dixon was only holding his phone, chatting with Diana, and ignoring everyone else. Lokan went to get ready for the exhibition. There would be several influential figures at the event, including the heads of three powerful families. This was not just an ordinary exhibition. Hamilton Group was most likely included on the guest list only because of Dixon. The exhibition was hosted by the Biz family, with Royo as the main person in charge. The hall was grand, clearly showing that a powerful family was behind the event. This was not simply an event to attract investors and merchants. If that were the case, Abraham would not have been interested in showing up at all. Because the Biz family was hosting this exhibition, everyone who attended was expected to show respect. The entire Porto Mall had been prepared exclusively for the event. Staff members occasionally came by to make adjustments and ensure that everything would be perfect for the evening. The way powerful families orga

  • 616-An Invitation

    "Uncle Abraham, about tonight’s exhibition..." "The Biz family has never been this proactive before," Abraham replied with a light laugh. "If I reject their sincere invitation, I’ll only look rude. Whatever is going to happen, will happen. There’s no point in hiding from it. Besides, I’m not worried about street rumors like that." "But..." Beatrice still looked uneasy. The Biz family was hosting tonight’s exhibition, and it was Royo who had warned that Abraham’s life was in danger. On top of that, Dixon had slapped Royo in public. There was no way Roman would let that go so easily. Beatrice feared it was a trap. "No more ‘but,’ ....don’t worry," Abraham said with a warm smile. "Thank you for your concern, but there’s no need for you to worry about this. You should get back to work." "The Mopp family situation is already keeping you busy. Back when your father was still around, we weren’t that close. But if you ever need help, just ask me," he added. Jack escorted Beatrice out,
