Raymond Hansen, though he intentionally orchestrated the situation, couldn't help but feel a surge of satisfaction as he witnessed the applause and praise directed towards him. His father, Jacob Hansen, beamed with pride,

"My son," Jacob said with a smile, "has always shown decency and a protective instinct for those around him. Cordelia is his woman, and rest assured, when the time comes, their wedding announcement will be a joyous occasion for us all."

The room erupted into another round of applause, with envy flickering among the young men.

Rose had a deep frown hearing Jacob announce that Raymond and Cordelia would be married soon; she didn't even clap or behave as if she was happy. Shulamite, seated at the other side, wasn't thrilled either, as she didn't know Cordelia well.

During her childhood, she hadn't been in Denmark, as she was schooling in the United States.

She wanted her brother to get along with her friend Rose, not Cordelia. Shulamite shifted her gaze to where Ros

    Inside the car, the driver looked through the mirror and said softly,“Boss… it has really been long. Where did you go?”Benjamin gave a faint smile.“I travelled to go deal with something important. That’s why it took time.”The driver nodded slowly.“I used to call Ms. Winslow to ask her about you… but she always said she would inform me when you come back.”Benjamin narrowed his eyes a bit. “When last did she call you?”The driver thought for a moment.“It’s like more than a month now. She then started calling me to ask if I had any information about where you are. But I didn’t know anything. I even drove to the old base once… but it was empty.”Benjamin leaned back and sighed, as Cordelia flashed in his mind.“I’m back now. No worries. Everything is fine.”He paused, then asked, “Do you know Noorhold Limited?”The driver nodded. “Yes sir. Is that where we are heading?”Benjamin nodded once. “Yes.”Right after that, Benjamin brought out his phone and sent a text to Ezra.It had bee

    Benjamin breathed in slowly before answering.“I left Cipherella with Abdelkarim,” he said softly. “He is the new underground lord of Syria now. After I eliminated Darnell, I handed everything to him.”Everyone in the room looked shocked.“Darnell is eliminated?” one of them whispered.Benjamin gave a small nod.Helen leaned forward a little. Her voice dropped.“Master… was Darnell involved with the death of Daniel and Rihanna Winslow?”Benjamin looked her straight in the eyes and nodded again.Helen’s eyebrows drew together slowly.“Which account?” she asked softly.Benjamin looked down at the glass of water in his hand, then back up at her.“The transfer came from an account under a company called Noorhold, and the registered beneficiary behind it was someone named Benjamin A. Stone.”Helen slowly repeated the name to herself, “Noorhold… Benjamin A. Stone?”Her expression changed immediately — she looked like she suddenly recognized something.Benjamin caught that look at once. “Do

    Meanwhile in Syria, the atmosphere was on fire.Everywhere — from the news channels to the underground circles — everyone was talking about the same thing.A young man named Abdelkarim had killed Darnell…and claimed the entire empire for himself.Videos began to spread quickly. In some clips, Abdelkarim was standing with blood on his clothes. In others, there were leaked voice clips of Darnell admitting his illegal activities. The whole country went wild — people discussed it on the streets, in bars, in offices, online… it had become the number one topic in Syria.What shocked everyone even more was the fact that this young guy was suddenly getting support from some top officials. People wondered how.But the truth was simple:Abdelkarim had used wisdom.He told those top officials that he knew every detail of their shady business because he had learned it all from Darnell. He warned them that if they didn’t cooperate with him, he would expose them too.They had no choice.Anyone who

    Cordelia met his eyes, her voice trembling but full of belief. “Even if it takes a year, I’ll wait for him,” she said quietly. “He promised me he would come back, and I trust him.”Marshall laughed again, louder this time, shaking his head at her words.“You really are still living in dreams,” he mocked. “Even if he comes back after one year or two… by that time, you will already be married. Maybe you’ll even have one child… or two… or three.”Cordelia’s chest tightened. The way he said it felt like a knife. But she didn’t break her gaze. She kept her eyes steady.Marshall looked at Cordelia one more time.“Just get prepared, my niece. You’ll be fine afterwards.”With that, he turned and walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.At the same time — in the Hansen houseRaymond Hansen was pacing up and down his room with a big smile on his face. He couldn’t hide his excitement. In just three days he would marry Cordelia Winslow. To him, this was everything he wanted.At that m

    Benjamin gave a small nod as he settled into his seat. The pilot looked back at him through the headset.“How many hours until we reach Singapore?” Benjamin asked quietly.The man checked the flight display and replied, “From here in Syria, it will take about nine and a half to ten hours, Master. We’ll make one short refuel stop on the way. Since it’s half past eight in the morning here, we should arrive around 5:30 to 6:00 p.m. Syria time, which will be about 10:30 to 11:00 p.m. in Singapore.”Benjamin nodded once more, fastening his seatbelt as the helicopter began to lift off the ground.It was around 1 p.m. in an underground base in Singapore. The place was quiet except for the low hum of computers. Several screens glowed softly, showing maps, codes, and paused feeds.Inside, a small group sat around on chairs and couches, trying to relax. Among them were Helen Anderson, once a police officer but now part of Benjamin’s team; the two animators, who handled system visuals and decoys

    Benjamin looked at Abdelkarim and gave him a gentle tap on the shoulder. “Control everything well,” he said quietly. “When I get time, I’ll visit Syria again.” Abdelkarim nodded, his eyes filled with respect. Then, without thinking twice, he went down on one knee before Benjamin. “Thank you, Master,” he said softly. “In just one month, you changed my life completely. You taught me things I never imagined learning. I’ll never forget this.” Benjamin gave a small smile and rested a hand on his shoulder. “Stand up,” he said. “You earned this. Lead well.” Benjamin looked at Abdelkarim with a steady, serious gaze. “Don’t mix in fraud and shady deals,” he said softly. “Make a name for yourself by doing things clean and strong. Be firm with our enemies — don’t show them mercy. But if you choose the dark side and betray what I taught you, I will come back to Syria and end you myself.” Abdelkarim met his eyes, swallowed, and nodded. “I promise. I will not go into the dark. I will do this ri
