"It's not that I don't want to, but...."
Lucas was naturally conflicted. The fact that he had a family was shocking, let alone the truth that his family was the wealthiest in the city. Louis looked at his twin closely. "What are you waiting for?" Lucas looked into Louis's eyes intently. He paused for a moment and then spoke. "Wouldn't it be more beneficial for you if I didn't return?" Louis took a deep breath. It turned out that convincing his brother was harder than he imagined. "Lucas, remember, blood is thicker than water. I live in luxury, allowing strangers to live in luxury, but my brother cannot even have this glory." "Although blood is thicker than water, humans will think of benefits for themselves," Lucas said. He paused, remembering something. "Unless my departure is unfavorable to you." Louis let out a long breath. His face turned grim. "I don't want to seem pathetic in front of you. I hate to say this, but I must be honest if I'm not doing well." Lucas was surprised. Louis did look pale and not as fit as usual. He suspected that his brother's health was failing. "What? Why?" Louis looked sad when he said this. "I'll tell you, but promise to keep this a secret." "Of course. I won't tell anyone." Lucas promised. Louis took a deep breath and let it out slowly. "I'm dying. If I die before I have a new head of household, it will jeopardize the Carter family." Lucas could not contain his shock. "Don't you have many experts?" Louis felt anxious all at once. He rubbed his face roughly. "Lucas, come on. Even a wolf pack needs a leader. When I leave, maybe the Carter family will be fine. But how long can that last?" Lucas shook his head quickly. "That's not what I meant. With the Carter family's current wealth, wouldn't bringing in the greatest doctor be no big deal?" Louis sighed. What his twin said was true. If it were as easy as he thought, he would live a normal life now. "The thing is, there aren't many people in this world I can trust. Everyone looks good when we are victorious, but when we show our weaknesses, everyone will try to bring us down." "Then what makes you trust me? We've never lived together. Even though we're brothers, we don't understand each other's nature." Lucas argued. Even though they're brothers, they've never lived together and don't understand each other. "Who says I don't understand you?" Louis said. "After all, we were born from the same mother and have the same father."Lucas looked at him with an incredulous gaze. Louis let out a long sigh. "Alright, alright, I don't fully understand you, but we do have some things in common. Intelligence and leadership." Lucas sighed softly. "Louis, sorry, I need some time." Lucas stood up, but Louis immediately grabbed his hand. "Wait. You can't just leave!" Lucas looked at Louis intently. "Why? Even though we're twins, that's not enough to make me return." Louis was tired of Lucas's erratic behavior. "Our parents are dead. You're all I have. Do I have to live alone when I'm dying like this?!" Suddenly, Louis clutched his chest, showing an expression of pain. Chris, who saw Louis's anger, immediately calmed him down. "Young master, calm yourself.""Chris...." Louis made a gesture to his assistant. Chris nodded. He took a brown envelope from the briefcase and gave it to Lucas.Lucas quickly opened the envelope and saw some photos. It was a picture of Yosef Carter and a woman. Lucas recognized him because Yosef had appeared in the media several times. However, the woman beside Yosef never seemed to be exposed. "This is our mother?" Louis nodded. Lucas's fingers touched the photo soulfully. After years of claiming to be an orphan, Lucas finally knew what her parents looked like. Louis's eyes began to tear up. All the emotions he'd been holding back just spilled out. "Lucas, I was alone all this time. You are the same. Don't you want to avenge our mother's death?" Lucas shook his head. Hia tears slowly flowed. He felt mixed feelings. Angry, happy, sad, moved, all mixed. "I won't let you be alone anymore." Louis hugged his brother without hesitation. "Thank you, thank you." "As long as I live, I won't let you die." Lucas hugged Louis so tightly. He had always wanted to have a family. Now that he had one, he would not waste any time. "We will survive together and be amazing." Louis nodded. He felt so happy that she was moved to tears. "I knew... I knew it would happen. Thank you." "We will also avenge our mother's death," Lucas spoke again, her voice sounding shaky. Chris, who saw that, smiled too. The two siblings were finally reunited after such a long separation. Louis smiled warmly, but seeing the wound on Lucas's face, the young man's expression turned serious. "I already know everything. "I saw how they looked down on you." "You saw it?" Lucas wiped away the tears running down his cheeks."I'm not going to let this go by." There was so much anger in Louis's eyes. "I can handle it myself. You don't have to worry." "I know you can handle it, but you'll need some things." Louis's gaze shifted to Chris, who was still standing. "Get Lucas's."Chris nodded and picked up a small limited edition bag. A $30,000 bag. This was to be one of the most expensive bags in the world. Chris handed the bag to Lucas."Open it, it's yours," Louis said.Lucas nodded. By any measure, this was the most expensive thing he had ever held. Inside the bag, there was a black wallet with several other cards. "That is your identity card as Lucas Carter. There are some important documents, too, like a passport and a driver's license in the name of Lucas Carter." Louis explained. Lucas saw a black atm card with no pattern, just a chip and the letters LC as the owner's initials. On the back, there was a pattern of a dragon spitting out fireballs. At first glance, it looks like a toy card, but Lucas knows this is no ordinary card. This is Universal Bank's black card. To use this card, one had to deposit 500 million. "Louis, isn't this too much?" Lucas was about to return the card, but Louis refused. The young man smiled warmly at his brother. "It doesn't contain much, only one million. Don't refuse." He had expected this to happen, so he was forced to lie. In fact, the contents of the card amounted to one billion dollars. "This is too much." Lucas still tried to refuse. "This is only a small part of the Carter family fortune." Johnson chuckled at Lucas's funny-looking expression. "Don't worry, mine is much more."Lucas let out a long sigh. It looked like he couldn't win this debate and accept the card. In addition to the atm card, there was an exclusive access card to enter all places associated with the Carter family. Just by showing the card, he could be honored like a mayor. The last and most surprising was the access card to the Carter family treasure storage. So far, only the head of the family was allowed to hold the card. "Louis, isn't this too much?"

Chapter 293
After killing off the people who were after the Carter family's estate, Lucas and his men continued the search for the estate.Through the information he had gathered, including information from the people investigating his family, he managed to get a clearer trace of the place's location.One of the men he had mobilized in the search came running out of a long hallway with a smiling face. He seemed eager to approach Lucas. "Master..." he stood with a slight bow, catching his ragged breath so he could speak more clearly. "We found him."That sentence set Lucas and the rest of the team, who were accompanying Lucas, into motion. "Show me, " he commanded the man.The man immediately nodded his head; he turned his steps around and led them into the hallway, which was quite long.The fast-paced, almost running footsteps echoed, making a great deal of noise before finally ceasing to be silent as they reached the boundary of the passage, standing at a large cave door."Oh my..." the word cam

Two days have passed since that day. Of those who encountered resistance in the main building where they carried out the mission, only some survived. At the same time, the rest were bloodied to death by Lucas, who killed them immediately without waiting for any explanation.Now, the rest of the people who led the mission are hiding in their headquarters, which is located deep in the countryside and away from residential areas. They were hiding for a good reason; they knew how influential Lucas was and how capable he was of discovering the whereabouts of their base."So what do we do?" A man sitting in the corner of the room stared intently in the direction where his colleagues were sitting. From the tone of his voice, he sounded getting impatient.What they had planned had gone far from what they had prepared. The calculations they had made in such detail and believed to be perfect had ended up in a completely unexpected situation.They hated to admit that their opponent was tougher t

"Ah, damn it! What are you doing aiming right!" The man shouted in frustration, directing his team to carry out the assault they were intensely engaged in.About five people, with their backs to each other, formed a circle in the center of the room in a building whose lighting seemed to be so dim that as far as the eye could see, they could only see lights that kept dimming with a very limited flame.The five men in the room who received the order to enter with the big plan prepared for them were now silent with tense eyes. With their hands ready to fire, they pulled the trigger at any moment as soon as they saw Movement appear before them.But waiting for something to appear in front of them was far more stressful than attacking a figure that was clearly in front of their eyes. Cold sweat broke out on their foreheads, slowly dripping down without them realizing it. On that face that was so tense, there was a fear that silently continued to grow in size even though they ignored it."F

There are many types of people. Some people only focus on the facts, and some people keep searching for something because they are not satisfied. Some people do things differently.In this life, some humans want power. That's why it became something that sometimes didn't make sense, especially focusing on the hidden treasure. they had been doing this for more than 25 years because they believed the Carter family was hiding something. After all, the Carter family had tremendous wealth."We'll go here." The person in the secret society in the center of the small hut gave directions while the others nodded."We will be at points A and B. Make sure the others are at the designated points." The order became the centerpiece of the discussion. Everyone nodded in understanding and immediately carried out the order.They searched and studied the Carter family's data secretly to be able to rival the Carter family, such as wealth and other fields; in the end, they found out if it was related to

Everyone watching was shocked. They all widened their eyes, unable to believe the masked man could finally be taken down and even hit the wall. Of course, this was Black Pearl's first defeat by a novice fighter."He... managed to defeat the champion." People began to whisper, stunned in disbelief at what they were seeing.Amazed by what he saw, the host was speechless because he initially thought Julian would lose."No way. Even though he almost won earlier, he lost to the new guy." Complaints from black pearl supporters began to complain about their confidence in voting for the man."The champion who has won consecutive arena battles is now limping. He's been using a weapon, and that sword is very sharp." People started talking about Black Pearl's defeat.All the admiration and cries of disbelief uttered by the bidders made Black Pearl look down in shame, wringing his hands tightly."Ah, damn it!" The other man looked frustrated as he grabbed his hair and shouted loudly. "I have noth

The match started again. His time in the fight was a little different than before. suddenly, two weapons were lowered from the stage, making everyone surprised to see that."Okay, this time, the match will be made even more challenging because we already have a winner, and the winner wants the match once again, so we will make the fight even more interesting to end the night." The host explained the rules and the different fights.Everyone who participated in the auction became increasingly interested and increased their bets, which made the event organizers even happier."There are swords and baseball bats here." The host headed towards the two weapons that had just been lowered onto the stage. Alright, we'll have a vote on who gets the sharp or blunt weapon."Another person brought two numbers written on paper. The paper was folded properly, and no one knew which number Julian and the person he challenged would choose. The paper was shuffled so that no one knew where it was until th
