"Of... of course, Keane. You being alright makes Father and me the happiest people in the world!" Caesar replied, forcing a smile onto his pale face.

"Really? I don't think so," Javon interjected lightly. "Until this matter is thoroughly investigated, it's still unclear who is human and who is a ghost. Isn't that right, Caesar Emerald?"

Caesar felt his heart pound. 'Could Javon know something? Impossible!' He calmed himself and said, "We are brothers by blood. Of course, we trust each other one hundred percent, don't we, Second Brother?"

"Of course," Keane replied with a faint smile. "Caesar loves me the most. When I was gravely ill, Caesar was the busiest one looking for doctors for me. His efforts were truly extraordinary." Keane stepped forward, placed a hand on Caesar's shoulder, and looked him straight in the eye.

Feeling guilty, Caesar didn't dare to meet his gaze. His eyes flickered continuously. "Of course, my brother understands my hard work."

    Javon handed the folder to her. "I know I neglected you for a bit, but I always keep my promises. I want you to be happy."Sherly opened it. Inside were the deed to the villa and the transfer documents for two percent of the company's shares. All in her name."Javon, you don't have to listen to my father. I never even thought about this," she said, worried Javon might have misunderstood."We are husband and wife. What's mine is yours," Javon comforted her, placing his hand over hers. "I still feel this isn't enough. In the future, I will give you an even better life. So, please accept it.""Alright, I'll keep them for now," Sherly replied sincerely. "If you ever need them in the future, you can take them back at any time."After this incident, Sherly's feelings for Javon deepened. She became even more convinced that her husband was a responsible and capable man.***Outside the restaurant, Aleesha and Javier happened to be passing by.

    "Our president is really something. A beautiful wife at home, and another woman waiting outside.""This is the life of the rich."Serana felt deeply embarrassed. "You two, follow me to the conference room," she said with a grim face.After a great deal of effort, Javon managed to break free from the woman's embrace and pull her into the room. He quickly closed the door and lowered the blinds."Jessie, how did you get here?" Javon asked, his tone now softening."Javon," the woman named Jessie replied, "After I got out, I missed you so much that I came looking for you without telling my family. Don't you miss me too?""I am still here," Serana cut in coldly. "Please mind your behavior." She then looked at Javon. "I don't care about your personal life, but don't let it affect the company. Every action you take now represents the image of Forger Enterprise."Hearing that this woman had also just been released from prison, Serana was reminded of the scene she had witnessed when picking Jav

    At that moment, a light drizzle was falling outside. Thirteen assassins dressed in black were already very close to the villa."We'll finish this outside. Don't let their blood stain this ground," Javon said, then walked out first. Rodrigo and the dozens of guards followed him.Javon stood in the middle of the drizzle-soaked lawn. "Come out!"In an instant, the thirteen figures emerged from the darkness, surrounding them. Their leader, a man with a long scar on his face, raised his hand, and all his men charged forward in unison."You're incredibly arrogant, boy!"The fight erupted.The scarred man shot toward Javon, aiming to slash him with a deadly hand chop. Javon easily dodged the attack by tilting his body. His palm formed an eagle claw, channeling his internal energy into it, and swiftly struck the scarred man's waist.Kraakk!A loud sound of crushed bone was heard. The man fell to the ground, vomiting blood, his eyes wide with disbelief, then died.Seeing their leader killed in

    "Mr. Chester, would you like to bid higher?" the auctioneer asked after waiting for a considerable time. There was no answer."Alright! Twenty-five billion, sold!" The gavel came down. "Congratulations to the gentleman on the fifth floor for winning this treasure. Now, let us unveil the true identity of this final lot."A staff member brought an ancient-looking black box onto the stage and opened it carefully. Inside, lying on a bed of yellow silk, was a piece of blood-colored jade the size of a palm."A heart crystal!" Mr. Lessom exclaimed, his eyes wide. "It's really a heart crystal!" He never expected that the most difficult item to find to heal Lilia would be right here.Under the lights, the crystal shone with a golden luster, with red lines inside that were as clear as blood vessels."This is not just an ordinary heart crystal," Mr. Asta said in amazement. "This is a heart crystal of the highest quality. Extremely rare."Just as everyone was congratulating Mr. Lessom, the Cheste

    Fourth Floor, Golden Room.The Chester family hadn't bought a single item either. They were also eyeing this final lot for the sake of prestige."Father, those people on the floor above us haven't bid on anything. I'm afraid they're also targeting this final lot. We can't let them succeed," Marson said."Correct. This time, we will compete to see who is stronger," Simon replied."The final lot," the auctioneer's voice echoed, "Starting price, five billion!"The entire auction hall was in an uproar."What? Five billion?""It must be a peerless treasure."The annual auction at the Havana Auction House wasn't just about winning an item; it was a fierce competition for status and power.In the tense silence, a voice was heard from the speaker of one of the private rooms."Five point one billion.""Five point two billion!""Five point three billion!"The bids from the guests on the first floor continued to crawl upwards. Before long, the private rooms on the upper floors began to make thei

    BUK!KRAKK!The moment Simon's fist connected with his chest, a devastating wave of counter-energy erupted from Javon's body. With just a slight push, Simon was thrown backward as if he had hit an invisible wall, then crashed hard onto the floor."Father!"Simon struggled to his feet, wiping a trickle of blood from the corner of his mouth, and stared at Javon in horror. "This is impossible... You're so young, yet you possess such profound inner strength. Truly terrifying.""It only proves how shallow your knowledge is," Javon retorted, completely unfazed."Father, what are you talking about?" Marson didn't understand. In his entire life, he had never seen his father afraid of anyone.Shoving his son aside, Simon Chester sized Javon up from head to toe, his eyes filled with shock. "At my current age, I have only just reached the initial level of power control. I never expected that at your young age, your internal strength has already reached the level of a Master.""You're quite knowl
