Chapter 53
Who would've guessed the suspicious man in dirty clothes was the Overlord? The guards even had to be slapped by Dean before returning to their senses."Go north right now!" Dean ordered, unable to hide his panic. He had already tried to contact Team B, but no one answered.Ben hit the ground in frustration. "Of all people, why did I have to offend the Overlord? What do I do now? My life's over…" he rambled."Sir, you've got to come with us too," Dean pulled Ben up from the ground. "Maybe the Overlord will forgive you if you apologize sincerely. After all, we were only doing our job. If we'd known he was important, we would've treated him with full respect!""You're right. This is all my cousin's fault for not warning me first!"The guards arrived quickly since they had used up all their energy. In their minds, they would die if they were a second too late. When they got there, they saw the bodies of other guards lying on the ground in a terrifying state.Halston stood in the middle, b
Chapter 52
The security guards looked at Halston with mocking eyes as if this were the last day of his life. Crystal Vale was the most luxurious housing complex in Rivertone, and anyone who tried to disturb its peace always ended up in jail. If Ben had already taken action, then nothing could stop him from calling the police.But Halston did not seem bothered by it. He already knew the administrator and was sure he could get inside without further inspection. In that mansion, there were important things he had not used for the past two years.A moment later, a short, burly man appeared with a scowling face. Dean quickly approached him. "Sir, you didn't need to come down here. I can handle this intruder myself," he said."If you could, you shouldn't have called me!" Ben smacked Dean on the head, his eyes sweeping around until they stopped on Halston. They stared at each other for a moment before Ben cursed, "Look at you, beggar! Are you mocking me?"Halston frowned, not recognizing the rude man i

"My business friends from the capital have arrived, and they'll attend tomorrow. Besides that, our officials will also be there to honor me. We can use this moment to stop the spreading bad rumors," said Harold, a slight hint of pride in his voice.It could be said he was one of the most successful people in Rivertone. His business had expanded to other cities, so even officials respected him.Mia smiled brightly. "Halston surely won't dare act crazy again! By getting rid of him, we warn people we won't stay quiet when someone disturbs us.""Well, that's fine too," Elsie responded, still with a sour look. Under the table, her husband's knee nudged hers as if warning her.Forcing herself, she grabbed Mia's hand and pretended to be friendly. "Introductions take time, right? Sorry if I seemed cold at first. I just don't know you well yet.""It's alright, Mrs. Clark. I understand how you feel. It must be hard to let go of your son," Mia answered wisely."Just call me Mom. We'll be family
Chapter 50
Mia had already stated she did not want to hear any work reports. She had to focus on preparing her lavish wedding because many important guests would come. Still, she could not ignore the dangerous signs for her company."Why are the big investors suddenly acting like this?" she asked, half in disbelief.Tobias answered nervously, "They found out Dominion Capital won't back us. Because of that, they grew doubtful and wanted to withdraw their investments.""But they will have to pay penalties if they break the contract!""They said they're ready to do that."The cheerful employees were bewildered when Mia's face turned gloomy. She had stopped hiding her true feelings ever since she had kept her anger over what happened at the Investment Conference.At the previous big meeting, she had loudly told the investors that the Overlord would surely be interested in her business. She had managed the money well for the last two years. Many companies had worked with him, which made Silver Trust
Chapter 49
It seemed Halston was not the only one who got that message, but it was clear Nick had received some good words from Mia because his smile grew wider."I know we've had a rocky relationship with Jack. But Mia just asked me to handle the catering for her wedding!" he exclaimed happily.Kyra let out a heavy sigh and answered reluctantly, "She already told me about that at the event. I forgot to tell you.""This is an amazing day! We can use Mia's wedding as a promotion. People will definitely love our burgers and fries, right?""But don't you feel suspicious, Dad? I'm sure Mia's the one behind the attempt on our lives."Nick immediately snapped at Kyra. "I don't care what her motives are. What matters is that we need to promote Bite and Go!"Since the head of the family was already so firm, no one could argue with him. Besides, Julian never stood up for Kyra because he wanted to look good in their father's eyes."If we can get funding from Dominion Capital, imagine how much Mia and Nola
Chapter 48
Julian immediately logged out of the game, not caring if it would affect his rank. The last thing he wanted was to move from Westlake to a smaller hospital. Because of the gunshot wound in his leg, it was hard for him to walk, and the nurses here helped him very well.He was sure the staff in a modest facility would not work that good, so he started yelling at his father, "This place has the best facilities! I don't want to leave. Dad, you have to find a way so I won't be moved!""Our insurance doesn't work here. My friend tricked me by saying our insurance could be used everywhere. But it turns out we've been paying for the standard plan all this time," Nick explained, tugging at his hair in frustration.Julian did not care about his father's trouble and threw his phone at Nick's head. "That's your fault for not checking carefully! Do you want me to suffer in a room crammed with other patients? I almost died, you know!""You can't act rude to your parents!" Kyra shouted, grabbing Jul
