2023-10-16 18:40:26As Victor looked at the money in his account, a mix of excitement and fear washed over him, and he exclaimed in disbelief, "How!!! Is this even real?"
The messages he received earlier flashed in his mind, making him feel like he had stumbled into a surreal dream.
With a racing heart and shaky hands, he closed his eyes and pinched himself, hoping to wake up from what seemed too good to be true.
He mumbled anxiously, "I must make sure I'm not dreaming." The sharp pain confirmed that he was indeed awake, but he couldn't shake off the feeling of unease.
"Could it be that someone had mistakenly sent that money to my account? I better report this to the police quickly," he said, trying to reason through his clouded thoughts.
His mind reasoned that with such a significant amount in his account, he could save his daughter and lead a good life, so why give it back? Although he felt a strong temptation, he managed to control himself.
However, as he hesitated about what to do next, his phone suddenly rang, and the caller ID displayed a strange number, "W - 888888."
His heart skipped a beat, and fear surged through him. "Have I been set up and caught as a thief?" he wondered with a lump in his throat.
Victor stared at the phone until it stopped ringing. It rang again immediately, causing him to jump at the sound.
Fearfully, he answered the call, his voice trembling, "Hello, I didn't..."
Before he could finish his sentence, a smooth voice on the other end interrupted,
"Hello, young master Victor, I'm Butler Kain. I believe you must have received the messages sent to you. You have successfully passed the family test and you are now the designated heir of the Parker family."
Victor's eyes widened in shock, and his mouth hung open in disbelief. He stammered, "Test... heir... Parker family? What are you talking about?"
Butler Kain's voice remained composed, "Yes, young master Victor, the Parker family. You have proven yourself worthy of becoming their heir."
The overwhelming surprise made it difficult for Victor to process the information. He managed to utter in a bewildered tone.
"Is this a prank, please stop it right now. You can just tell me to transfer your money back to you instead of using these tricks."
Butler Kain's tone remained reassuring, "I understand your disbelief, young master. Rest assured, this is no prank. You truly are the designated heir, and that substantial amount of money in your account is a gift from the Parker family to congratulate you on your achievement."
Victor's mind was in turmoil, trying to comprehend the incredible revelation. "This money... it's really mine to keep?" he asked, almost whispering.
"Yes, it's all yours, young master Victor. You can use it as you please," Butler Kain confirmed calmly.
Victor couldn't believe what he was hearing. "A billion dollars... just a gift?" he mumbled in astonishment.
Butler Kain chuckled softly, "Indeed, it's just a congratulatory gift. You've proven yourself to be worthy."
Still struggling to believe it all, Victor asked with surprise, "What Parker family are you talking about? I don't know any Parker family here in MidRidge."
MidRidge city was where Victor currently resided.
Butler Kain's chuckle was warm and respectful as he explained, "MidRidge is too small to house the Parker family. I'm referring to the Parker family in the capital."
The shock in Victor's voice was evident as he tried to grasp the reality of the situation, "The Parker family from the capital? This can't be real. How could I be connected to such a powerful family?"
Even though Victor had been a poor person since, he had definitely heard of the Parker family.
They were extremely powerful and rarely seen. However, every move of theirs could shake the financial world.
Butler Kain's tone remained calm, "Believe me, young master Victor, it is real. Take some time to process this. First, focus on your daughter's health and well-being. You now have the money to settle her hospital bills."
"Your daughter is also a member of the Parker family by blood so she's very important. Take care of your immediate priorities. When you're ready, we will arrange a meeting and discuss things in detail."
As the call ended, Victor was left stunned and bewildered, unable to comprehend how his life had taken such an unexpected turn.
However, he recovered quickly and immediately bolted out of the Gardner family's residence. As usual, the guards, servants and any Gardner family member who saw him taunted him as he passed by.
He still had a little cash in his pocket and thankfully he always carried his bank card with him, so he just flagged a taxi and got in.
"Trust Hospital" Victor said as the driver zoomed off. Though he was still a bit scared and excited at the same thing about his newfound identity, he knew he had to handle his daughter's issue first.
Now he had money, he could pay all Amanda's hospital bills, take her to a vip ward and most importantly, he didn't let Diana down like he promised.
As the car reached Trust Hospital, Victor hurriedly paid the fare and ran into the hospital.
It was as if the money he now had gave him extra strength. He forgot he was tired and he forgot about all the humiliation he had faced earlier.
Reaching the ward, they were no longer in the ward. "Could they have been evicted?" He was worried.
Seeing a nurse passed by, he stopped her and asked, "Nurse, where is the little girl that was in this ward?"
"Oh, that beautiful little girl, her father came earlier and paid to transfer her to a vip ward. She should be at vip ward 5.
Such a rich handsome guy and he loves his daughter very much." The nurse answered and walked away.
Victor froze, "Amanda has a new father? Who is brazen enough to take my daughter."
Angrily, he dashed to VIP WARD FIVE (5).

THE JOHN BROTHERS
Victor directed his gaze towards Michael and expressed, "I may not possess extensive knowledge about the roar of a lion, but based on what i have seen you do, I'm willing to give it a shot and see what I can do." Observing Victor's willingness, Michael nodded in agreement.In the ensuing moment, Victor let out a resounding roar, its intensity heightened by the surge of his spiritual energy.

WE ARE SURROUNDED
In concurrence, Victor made the decision to return to their lodging, and this time, Linda accompanied him, her tenacious nature compelling her to follow. Victor acknowledged that their current hotel, where they had been residing, would inevitably be discovered, but despite this awareness, he opted to revisit the place.While Victor possessed the ability to conceal himself effortlessly—dispatching Michael to the Wilston family and directing Linda to her home, and subsequently altering his appearance with the chameleon mask—he found this approach too straightforward. His desire extended beyond mere evasion; he aimed to assert dominance and subjugate the prominent families of Palue under his control.Upon arriving at the hotel, Victor promptly retired to his room, while Michael and Linda also opted for accommodation. Battling fatigue, Victor succumbed to the need for rest, dozing off for about thirty minutes. However, his tranquility was abruptly disrupted by a knock on his door.Risi
VICTOR IS SET UP
After the video concluded, the security guard interrogating Victor asked, "Given the undeniable evidence, what is your response now?"Victor chuckled, as if finding amusement in a jest, and retorted, "Evidence? Are you referring to the fabricated lies and concoted falsehoods?"Rising from his seat with an apparent intent to depart, Victor's movement triggered a swift response from the surrounding security guards, who promptly brandished their firearms and aimed them at him. The questioning guard pressed on, "Why did you take the life of the mayor's son?" He persisted, adding, "The mayor is en route, and answers are imperative."Of course, Victor was not afraid of the mayor but he didn't want to wait here to see the mayor, he wanted to leave and see how deep Wayne Lois's game could be. Besides, people would never believe the evidence was fake and him escaping was another proof to them but being the person who had a feud with the Lois family, he understood so much.In the next moment,

Emerging from the vehicle was none other than Linda, the daughter of Samuel.Victor clearly surprised to see her here immediately, "What are you doing here?"Linda's smile widened in response, and she shared, "I had a hunch that you were planning to make an unexpected entrance at the Lois family's gathering. Naturally, I wanted to be a part of the festivities."Victor, feigning innocence, narrowed his eyes and played dumb, saying, "I have no idea what you're referring to. Michael and I are just here for some casual shopping."Linda deftly seized the invitation from Victor's pocket, a swift movement that caught him off guard, revealing his lack of anticipation. Her hands moved with a purpose, extracting the card with nimble precisio

Following its conclusion, Victor convened a meeting with Jonathan and the respected elders.In addressing the assembly, Victor articulated, "Primarily, I wish to clarify my reluctance to assume the role of the Wilston family head.
