Everyone turned their attention to the figure that had just appeared. The figure walked quickly towards them. The aura he had made the security guards spontaneously open the way for him. 

Morgan also noticed the figure. He had never seen the man before so he thought that maybe the figure knew Romeo. 

Sure enough. The figure approached Romeo and seemed so polite to him. "Are you okay? Did they hurt you?" 

Romeo shook his head slowly. "As long as I don't give permission, no one can touch me." 

The figure nodded and looked relieved. "I'm sorry that I took too long."

"No problem." 

"You should stay away from her. He could hurt you like he hurt me." Morgan pointed at his neck, which was reddened by Romeo's strangulation. The man in front of him looked powerful; he didn't want to add unnecessary trouble, so he dumped everything on Romeo. "He's a punk who wants to mess up this place." 

"Troublemaker?" Andrew frowned. 

Morgan nodded. "He's a poor student who likes to cause trouble. Stay away from him before you catch the poor virus from him." 

Hearing that, Andrew's face changed drastically. His gaze became cold. "Do you know who that troublemaking punk is?" 

Morgan lightly pointed at Romeo, and that made Andrew even angrier. He gave Morgan a cold stare and said, "No. You're that guy. You're that guy. You're that troublemaking asshole!" 

 Andrew moved closer to Morgan. When the distance between them was only a step, he stopped and pointed at Morgan's chest. "Behave yourself. Don't make me angry, or your father won't even be able to save you." 

"Asshole!" Morgan cursed. He violently pushed Andrew's chest. However, Andrew was not a weak man. He immediately brushed off Morgan's hand and pushed Morgan away. Getting such treatment, Morgan became even angrier. "How dare you!" 

"What? You dare?" Andrew didn't look the least bit scared. 

Morgan looked at Andrew arrogantly. He was the master of this place. He must not lose his pride. "Calves are never afraid of tigers." 

Andrew smiled coldly. "A proverb that suits you perfectly." 

"Son of a bitch!" Morgan glared. "That proverb is for you, fool!" 

"Brat, who are you yelling stupid at, huh?" There was an angry male voice. "Apologize now!" 

Morgan turned his head and was surprised when his father came. He did not defend him but instead joined in the cursing. 

"Dad? What are you doing here?" asked Morgan in confusion. 

"Are you deaf? Didn't you hear what I said?" Morgan's father looked even angrier and approached his son in a huff. "Hurry up and apologise!" 

Morgan frowned. "Why do I have to apologise? Did I do something wrong?" 

"Of course you're guilty! Don't you know who you've been cursing at?" Morgan's father gritted his teeth. 

Morgan shook his head. "Who is he? Is he the son of your friend? Or is he someone you want to work with? If so, don't cooperate with a fool like him." 

"Idiot! You really are an idiot. Don't you know that he owns the orbit tower?" 

Morgan was like being electrocuted by a high voltage. His body could not move for some time. When he came to his senses, he could only shake his head, not believing what his father had said.

"No way! The owner of the orbital tower is dead! Now, our family is the owner of this building." Morgan didn't show the slightest fear. "This building has been abandoned for a long time, and our family revived it. Why would he suddenly come and claim to be the owner of this place? On what basis?" 

Morgan's father looked terrified at his son's words. He immediately came forward and prevented his son from speaking further. "Of course, because he owns this place!" 

Morgan's father turned his gaze to Andrew, his previously angry gaze now friendly. "Sir, please forgive my son. He's still young and has much to learn. It's just a misunderstanding." 

"Dad, what are you doing?" Morgan shouted. He couldn't accept that his father had to bow to someone else. "You own this place now. No one can make you like that!" 

Morgan's father gave his son a sharp look. 

Snap!

Only a slap could shut Morgan up. 

On the other hand, Morgan also looked incredulous at what he had just experienced. He touched his cheek, which felt hot. "Dad... why did you slap me? Didn't I say the right thing?" 

"Shut up, you idiot, shut up, or you'll die!" Morgan's father shouted. 

Meanwhile, Andrew continued to frown time after time. For now, he could already come to a conclusion. A few years ago, after Mrs. Romeo's death, Romeo's father no longer wanted to take care of this place, so Andrew gave the responsibility of management to the Morgan family for a considerable reward. However, he never transferred the ownership of the place to anyone else. Orbit Tower still belongs to the Romeo family. 

Unexpectedly, his kindness was abused like this. 

"I never let go of this building. I only asked you to take care of it. I even gave you a big reward for doing this." Andrew looked deeply at Morgan's father. "Have you ever heard that greed leads to disaster?" 

Father Morgan's body shook with fear. He immediately bowed in front of Andrew. "Sir, please forgive us. We won't do it again." 

Andrew doesn't answer because he sees that Romeo seems disturbed by Father Morgan's words. 

Meanwhile, Romeo was still sitting quietly in his place. He was reluctant to prolong this matter. Since his mother's departure, this building had been neglected. If there had been no Morgan family to take care of it, perhaps it would have become a wholly abandoned place. 

Romeo looked at Morgan's father and said, "I'm not in the mood for more business. I'll forgive you and give you one more chance." 

"Rancid bastard, who are you to dare say such a thing to me?" shouted Morgan, offended by Romeo's words. 

"Shut up! Who asked you to speak?!" screeched Morgan's father. "One more sentence and I'll break your legs!" 

Romeo's mood actually wasn't too bad. However, what Morgan said offended him. He looked at Morgan's father coldly. 

"Do you want to take care of the orbital tower longer?" asked Romeo. 

Morgan's father looked at Romeo with confusion. At first, he thought that Andrew was the owner of Orbit Tower. However, he just realised the young man before him was the actual owner. He quickly nodded, worried that Romeo would change his mind. "Yes, Young Master." 

Romeo nodded. "Then, have your son kowtow and apologise to me. Also, he must never set foot in Orbit Tower again forever."

"No way! I'm not willing to bow down at the feet of a hobo like him!" shouted Morgan. He would never want to bow down at the feet of a hobo like Romeo because it hurt his pride so much. 

Morgan's father, hearing this, lost his temper. He shouted with a horrified expression. "Bow down quickly or die!"

    Since his conversation with his father, Romeo decided to stay at the Walsh family home. Their relationship had become better than before, although Romeo still felt uneasy about the truth he had learned.And now he was with a woman named Gina, who was drinking tea in front of him. This meeting happened because Romeo had something he wanted to give to Gina.“Is everything alright, Master?” Gina kept watching Romeo; she felt that this man seemed a little different compared to the last time they met.“Yes.”But Romeo then fell silent for quite a while after answering briefly, causing Gina to continue observing him.“Master Romeo, I want to talk about something.” Gina looked at him slowly and cautiously. What she wanted to say might anger the man in front of her.Romeo handed her a document, making Gina glance at it quickly. “You need to work on this.”Gina took it and covered her mouth; it seemed that whatever she wanted to discuss with this man could not be brought up now because this wa

    In this calm room, warm tea sat before the two of them. The old man across from him kept observing Romeo, who hadn’t spoken.Then, two minutes later, Romeo finally spoke. “Father already knows something like this has happened, and they want to wipe out the Walsh family?”“There will always be those who want to eliminate the Walsh family,” Mason said calmly. He studied Romeo’s face. “You know our family is also known as the guardians of the world.”He had only heard that story when he was a child, because it sounded connected to wealth. A rich man could easily boast about exaggerated things like that. He had never taken it seriously; everything he had learned until now was because he had to survive, and because the taller the tree, the stronger the wind.“They say we are guardians, which means we possess power, and of course there are those who dislike that. That is why no one has ever truly known the Walsh family’s home.”Romeo immediately remembered it. Their house had never been a f

    Romeo stood in front of Angus, who was observing him calmly and clearly, yet he remained composed—a demeanor that made Angus smile.He was more sensitive than Risca. Even the slightest display of ability from the man in front of him felt familiar. Decades had passed, but that didn’t mean he had forgotten.This situation brought back old memories, making him smile as he recalled the things that had always excited him.“It seems you’ve finished observing me,” Romeo said, making Angus look at him more intently.Then he walked closer to the man and nodded once. “Correct.”Even though this man didn’t show anything dangerous, Romeo remained cautious about what he might be capable of. However, as they came so close, Angus gave a respectful bow.“I’ve known since the first time we met. But I wasn’t entirely sure, so I needed to observe for a while.” Angus explained politely, not wanting any misunderstandings here.“Welcome, Young Master Walsh.”With that statement, Romeo fully realized that t

    Risca looked at Romeo. She still couldn’t say anything out loud because of this.Then, as Romeo placed the last gallon into the truck, he made eye contact with the woman, who clearly seemed like she wanted him to experience something bad, before she left.“I’ve finished my work,” Romeo said calmly, folding his hands in front of his chest.The woman, who had previously been unable to speak, finally coughed and slowly found her voice. “This is impossible. You must have cheated.”Even Risca, who was used to hard work and the training she had undergone, could never have finished that task so quickly. She judged everything by her own standards, then looked at Romeo.The man clearly didn’t have large muscles, and she still couldn’t believe there was someone stronger than herself. Because she kept training and practicing, in this small place, she was a strong woman, even if not many people knew it.“If there’s cheating, you should be accusing yourself, Miss,” Romeo said in a sarcastic tone.

    Romeo ignored her, but the woman moved quickly, walking beside him the entire time with eyes full of scrutiny.“I know you were watching me earlier,” Risca said, leaning her head slightly forward so she could better observe Romeo’s expression.But the man who had met her gaze earlier didn’t respond.“Don’t ignore me. I can tell you’re not just some ordinary guy, right?” she said, and her words made Romeo pause for a moment.But then he resumed walking as if he hadn’t heard her, placing the bag he was carrying onto the metal detector before continuing forward, with Risca still following him.“I’ve never seen you here before. Who are you looking for?”Risca raised a hand above her head; the sunlight was so bright it made her squint as the glare hit her eyes.Romeo looked at her. The woman seemed to let her guard down now, and finally, they met eyes again, this time with a wide smile on her face.“So, just tell me,are you interested in me?”The woman spoke with confidence. She wasn’t wea

    It didn’t take long for Dalton to lose consciousness, he simply couldn’t handle someone this powerful. This was a nightmare he had never imagined, and it marked his defeat.His once-arrogant face was now replaced with one that looked utterly weak.“Pathetic,” Romeo commented, his tone filled with disdain. He had thought this man might be a worthy opponent because of his status, but he wasn’t strong at all.Romeo dragged him along as he went to greet another guest who had just arrived. From where he stood, he could see a ship approaching, with Andrew standing at its bow. The man quickly bowed before Romeo.“Master,” Andrew said, his expression puzzled as he noticed the man Romeo was dragging.Romeo tossed the unconscious man toward Andrew. “I’ll interrogate him.”Upon hearing Romeo’s words, Andrew immediately understood his master’s intent. He nodded and ordered the others to take the man away.Andrew then walked beside Romeo, quietly observing his young master.“I didn’t realize Fath
