CHAPTER 67
Johnson could clearly see the curiosity written all over Ava's face.She had been waiting for this answer for days. She kept looking at him expectantly.Johnson smiled faintly. Deep inside, even he did not know the identity he would appear with that evening.One part of his heart wanted to walk into the gala as the mysterious CEO of the McArthur Conglomerate.He imagined Bethany's shocked expression. He imagined George freezing in disbelief. He imagined Mrs. Clifford regretting every insult they had ever thrown at him.For a brief moment, that thought made him smile. But another thought immediately entered his mind.His father's warning echoed inside his head."The mastermind is an insider. Be careful. Do not expose yourself carelessly."Johnson sighed quietly. Then another face appeared in his thoughts.Emily. He had already promised to accompany her to the gala. He remembered how much she trusted him.He remembered the burden she had been carrying alone. He slowly smiled again."So

Emily frowned the moment she saw the notification from City Bank. She looked at the sender's name again."City Bank?"She sighed heavily. "I already asked these people for a one-month extension. Why are they disturbing me again this early in the morning?"Her beautiful face tightened with frustration. Small wrinkles formed across her forehead as she angrily tapped the message."I hope they are not withdrawing the extension they approved yesterday."She slowly opened the message. The moment her eyes landed on the contents. Her eyes widened. The wrinkles on her face disappeared instantly.Her breathing became slower as she carefully read every single line. She did not want to miss even one word.She read it again. Then she read it a third time. Finally, she whispered,"The loan has been cleared?"She looked at the screen once more. The message clearly stated that the outstanding loan had been fully settled and the Wilson Mansion had been released from every financial obligation.Emily b
CHAPTER 65
Johnson's heart suddenly began beating very fast.The moment his father said, "My son, I have something else I want to tell you," countless thoughts rushed into his mind.His face immediately became serious. He leaned closer to the phone."Father"Mr. Edward McArthur looked at him quietly.Johnson asked anxiously,"Did the doctors discover another illness?"His voice became even more worried."Did they diagnose you with anything else? Is there any complication?.Please don't hide anything from me."Edward McArthur smiled faintly. Even through the phone screen, he could clearly see how worried his son had become.He gently shook his head. "My son."Johnson remained silent.Edward continued, "Calm down. It is not what you are thinking."Johnson looked at him without blinking."The doctors have not diagnosed me with any further complications. They are actually pleased with my recovery. My treatment is progressing well."Johnson finally released the breath he had been holding. "Thank God."
CHAPTER 64
The room returned to absolute silence. Nobody spoke. Nobody even dared to breathe loudly.Every pair of eyes was fixed on Gibson Mencho's vibrating phone.Questions were written across everyone's faces.Johnson did not hesitate. He quickly reached forward, snatched the phone from Gibson Mencho's trembling hands, and answered the call before it could disconnect.Without saying a word, he switched on the loudspeaker and gently placed the phone at the center of the table.Everyone leaned slightly forward. No one knew who was about to speak.For a few seconds there was nothing but silence. Then a voice came through the speaker.It was calm and mature. It was clearly a man's voice."Gibson Mencho."The entire room froze.The mysterious caller continued."I warned you never to investigate the deal we made twenty-five years ago."Nobody interrupted him."If you fail to keep our agreement, believe me I will not hesitate to come after you and your entire family."The voice remained calm throug
CHAPTER 63
The entire room became silent after King Bazz's warning. Nobody dared to interrupt him.Even the sound of breathing became noticeable. Everyone unconsciously held their breath.Gibson Mencho slowly leaned forward. He placed both of his arms on the table and fixed his eyes on King Bazz.For many years, he had wanted to know what truly happened after he and his men withdrew from the ambush.The operation remained one of the greatest mysteries of his entire underground career.He had always wondered what happened after his own assignment ended. Today, he finally had the opportunity to hear the truth from another man who had also participated in the operation.Johnson remained completely calm.He leaned slightly backward on his seat, but his eyes never left King Bazz. Every word that was about to leave the man's mouth could bring him one step closer to finding his mother.Samuel Briggs quietly folded his arms. He also listened carefully.King Bazz took a long, deep breath. The sound echoe
CHAPTER 62
The moment Johnson asked the question, the entire room became silent.Nobody moved nor spoke in the room. Even the four ladies standing at the corner of the room unconsciously held their breath.The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.Gibson Mencho slowly turned his head toward Johnson. He could not understand the confidence with which the young man had spoken.He silently asked himself, "What exactly did this young man do for King Bazz's children?""What kind of favor deserves this level of gratitude? How can he boldly ask King Bazz for any help he wants?"Gibson had known King Bazz for many years. He knew very well that King Bazz was not the type of man who owed anyone.If anything, people owed him. A lot of underground dogs kneel before him for favor.Yet today… One of the most feared underground kings in the region was sitting before a young man, waiting for his request.King Bazz himself did not answer immediately. Instead, he leaned back slightly and remained quiet.He replayed Jo
