Marco smiled bitterly. He didn't believe Will's words.

"You called me young master? You seem to have the wrong person." Marco raised his glass, drank the martini in one gulp, and then finished it. His gaze went to the bottom of the empty glass. "How could someone like me be a Young Master? In fact, throughout my life, there have been too many difficulties."

Will pulled out a chair and sat in front of Marco. He looked around, and there were no people in the bar. Maybe it was because it was still daytime, so there were no visitors. He spoke softly, but enough for Marco's ears. "Young Master, as I said, you are the son of the Gallahad family, one of the most powerful families in this land."

The Gallahad family was one of the strongest families. Its status was unquestionable. Since several hundred years ago, the Gallahad family has existed and still survived to this day. If there was one clan that had survived so long through the various eras of rule, it meant that they had a solid foundation. And that's the Gallahad family.

"I know about that family." Marco nodded. The Gallahad family was indeed very famous. Almost everyone in this country knew about the outside of the Gallahad family.

 

Will flashed a faint smile. Marco saw that. He smiled sarcastically and said, "Even so, I don't believe I'm from the Gallahad family."

The smile on Will's face faded. He looked a little agitated, but he quickly composed himself. "What makes you not believe it? You've seen the faces of the Gallahad family all this time, haven't you? Shouldn't you feel a resemblance to them?"

Marco pushed back his martini glass. He took out a piece of money. "If I came from the Gallahad family, I should have been there long ago. I wouldn't be living in such deprivation as I am now."

"Sir, the situation is very complicated," Will said.

"How complicated is it? If I am Gallahad's son, why are you looking for me now?" Marco peppered Will with questions. What happened to him today hurt him deeply. When Will said something like that to him, he didn't believe it easily.

"Young master, the situation is very complicated. If I explain it now, maybe this story won't be finished in one night." Will explained. "I will explain everything gradually, Young Master."

Marco shook his head. "There is no need. I still don't believe it. I must leave now."

Marco placed the bill next to the martini glass. He started to leave. However, Will stopped him.

"Young sir, wait! Your father is Jordan, right?" said Will, trying to stop Marco.

Marco was surprised. It was true, and his father was Jordan.

Seeing Marco speechless, Will spoke again. "Mr. Jordan is the second son of the great lord Gallahad. However, he married a commoner woman. Since then, he left the Gallahad family and became a commoner."

There was no lie in Will's gaze. Marco knew that. However, many big changes had happened in his life in these few hours. "Whatever it is, I don't care."

Marco turned around, but Will immediately caught up and blocked him. "Young Master, you must trust me!"

"Why should I? We've only met once. This is our first meeting. Stop your tricks, or I'll kick your ass." Marco stared angrily at Will. He jerked his head, asking Will to step aside. However, Will stayed where he was.

"I swear, what I'm saying is the truth." Will tried to convince Marco.

"I don't care. I'm tired and dizzy. Get out of my way, or I'll use force!" Marco waved his hand, trying to get Will out of his way.

Will didn't move at all. He still stood in front of Marco and continued to persuade him. "Young master, I can help you get your revenge."

Marco looked bored. He just stood still and looked at Will with a sardonic gaze.

"I can help you, Young Master!" Will repeated it, trying to convince Marco. On the other hand, Marco saw that Will was earnest. Hence, he sat back down.

"Tell me," Marco said.

Will felt relieved. Marco was finally willing to listen to him. Although in his heart it was like a fireworks display, Will kept a severe expression. "Sir, I can help you. Make Stefani and her family disappear, or put Hansel in big trouble."

"Are you serious?" asked Marco.

"Of course, sir," Will replied. He looked more severe than ever.

The two choices were both problematic. Stefani, after all, she had a life. She also had many friends. Making her disappear suddenly would cause more complex problems in the future. However, if Will could take care of her without a trace, it meant that Will had a strong network. 

The second choice is equally difficult. Hansel Burton is the young master of a noble family. He has been known to be generous and helpful to many people. Although he often makes trouble behind the scenes, the public judges him well. It won't be easy to make someone like him fall.

Marco thought about it carefully. Although he was furious about Stefani's betrayal, he never thought about taking her life. Therefore, he chose the second option.

"If you are capable, do the second option," Marco spoke lazily. He took a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.

Will nodded enthusiastically. "Give me half an hour, young master. I will finish it satisfactorily."

Marco took a slow drag on his cigarette. "As you wish."

After getting the order from Marco, Will reached into his pocket and took out a cell phone. He called someone. "Do the second option. In thirty minutes, everything should be done."

Seeing what Will was doing, Marco smiled.

"Good drama." I don't know if this is a compliment or a taunt, but Will can only respond with a smile.

"Young master, you will have good news half an hour from now."

"Whatever. I never took this seriously." Marco took another drag on his cigarette. He sat back and asked for a cold bottle of beer.

After giving Marco a bottle of cold beer, Will excused himself. He had to take care of something for a while. Marco just nodded because he didn't care.

He was enjoying his time by smoking and drinking beer. Memories of his childhood suddenly came back to his head. However, Marco quickly dismissed them. It was just a memory. Memories that made his chest feel tight if he kept remembering them.

Marco moved and chose to sit on a chair in the corner of the room, a fairly closed place. A young man in a bartender's outfit appeared, but it wasn't Will. Marco didn't care. He took out his cell phone and played with it.

Almost half an hour passed, and the bartender turned on the television and opened the news channel. Marco was a little interested. However, after a glance, he returned to playing with his phone. Nothing was important to him.

Exactly half an hour after Will had called someone, there was suddenly breaking news. This was very shocking news. It was so shocking that Marco felt his jaw had dropped to the floor.

    The long journey that took sixty minutes ended with Robert returning to the starting point of Marco's house. The man had been blindfolded and could see the sunlight illuminating the courtyard. Robert let out a long sigh. He stood by the door, where Marco sat on the sofa quietly, before walking in and sitting in front of Marco like last night when they first met."Thank you very much," Robert said sincerely. The man took a deep breath and looked calmly at Marco. "Thank you so much for helping Anna. And you take it easy, whatever you want, tell me. I will give it to you as a gift," Robert added solemnly. To him, nothing was more important than health for Anna. Even if she had to die, it wasn't a big deal to him.Marco nodded, along with the waiter who brought tea for him and Robert. "Of course, I'm not one to help without asking for something in return."Robert just chuckled before clearing his throat. The man put his hands into the pockets of the suit he was wearing. "Oh yes, I have

    Not only Robert but Marco is now also standing in front of a room that has a glass barrier. Where, it appears that Anna is conducting a series of examinations with inlets. Starting from the scan and also how her physical condition is now. With the help of a doctor and two nurses, plus a scientist on guard there, Anna was checked as a whole to make sure nothing was missed at all.As Marco, the man turned to Robert. Robert seemed to clench his hands and keep them under his mouth. Her eyes looked so worried. Marco was sure that she was not feeling well.So, Marco chose to calm her down. "Calm down. Your sister is being examined. You can look at him and stay positive. Anna will be fine."Upon hearing that, the tense Robert turned his head and smiled slightly stiffly. The man let out a long breath and closed his eyes. His head looked up slightly, trying to dispel the thousand and one unpleasant thoughts and prejudices he had. Anna had started all kinds of examinations before, and they alw

    And just as Marco had asked, the next morning, an hour after sunrise, Robert appeared at Marco's residence. The man came with the personal driver serving the Veliiy family. And when Marco saw him, Robert had a small smile."Please, Mr. Robert," Will said as he opened the door. Robert nodded and entered the living room, where he was already there, and looked at him directly. For a moment, the two men looked at each other.Until Marco got up and walked over to the older man. "You've come, and where's your sister?" he asked reassuringly. Marco had not yet seen the woman Robert had told him about.He had only seen Robert coming with the driver before entering here.Robert nodded and then looked back. He waved his hand, signaling the waiter to come towards him. And when the waiter saw her, he nodded and walked around to the other side.Now Robert walked back outside and approached his servant. And from there, Marco saw someone he had never seen before. Robert approached while pushing the w

    And now, things were quieter than before. The firearm Marco had brought with him had been placed on the table and posed no threat to Robert. Although the man still occasionally glances at her, remembering the sensation that Marco had caused him a few minutes ago.Both men are seated on their respective sofas as they were at the beginning of the meeting. The two of them were facing each other, and Marco started flipping through the file that Robert had brought as proof of their past cooperation.Marco gave a small nod. "Apparently, my predecessor did get a lot of favours from your family."Marco saw that one of them was helping with the investment at the beginning of building his family's big name. In fact, one of the most memorable was the dispatch of troops when his family was attacked by outsiders who did not like the success of the family head."Because of your intelligence as well as your stubbornness, I will accept your offer." Marco's eyes now turned to look at Robert and saw a

    Robert looked at Marco with cold eyes. He paused for a moment and let out a long breath. "I'm not joking or imagining. I know the truth. And because I have such curiosity and confidence, I believe that the Galahad family can help my brother."Robert then clenched his hands into fists, remembering his efforts to help his brother recover. "I've seen so many of the best doctors this city offers. I even went abroad to get the best results."The man took a deep breath and shook his head, his hands raised openly. Her shoulders lifted in despair. "Still nothing works.""I might be able to form my medical team. But the research and gathering took so long. It can't be just one or two months. Even in ten years, I may not be able to get it," Robert said at length.His eyes seemed to glaze over slightly, a shadow of someone present in the man's head. "While my brother's lifespan can probably be counted, he doesn't have that long to wait for me. And now he needs something fast, something that can

    The living room was quiet, with Marco and Robert sitting across from each other at a glass table. Marco crossed his legs and looked straight at the man who was seven years older than him.As for Robert, the man looked at Marco sharply before taking a slow breath. "I came here because I heard that the head of the Galahad family has changed."The man looked Marco straight in the eye without blinking. He looked confident and calm at the same time. "And as part of the Velliy family, I would say that the Galahad family is indebted to him. That's why I want you to give me a favor."Robert didn't want to waste time with small talk. He had something to pursue and made sure that everything went well. There was no time to think things over and over again. He was already here and had made up his mind from the moment he saw the opportunity.Marco rested his hands calmly on his thighs and looked at Robert seriously. "On what basis do you dare to say such a thing?" It took more than words to convin
