Donald's face frowned seriously at his brother. He understood that their father's health urgently required quick and effective treatment. But did that mean they should settle for an unreasonable intervention?

A pack of silver needles? To treat severe heart disease? How does that correlate?

Jacob was thrown into bafflement as his brother posed the unexpected question. Even though he had no idea what Roderick needed the pack of silver needles for, as long as he mentioned it, Jacob believed his responsibility was to get the item delivered immediately.

Whatever Roderick might need it for shouldn't concern them now. All that mattered was curing their father's illness.

Then, Jacob answered his brother. "Donald, don’t you think this is really a delicate time for us to start debating whether the pack of silver needles can cure Father’s illness? Why don’t you wait and watch Mr. Holmes begin the treatment first, then we can debate it afterward?"

Donald’s frown deepened as he disagreed. "You’ve

    "Uhn? Roderick Holmes?" Don was instantly taken aback. He couldn't understand why the name sounded so familiar.Just then, he heard Caleb begin to explain. "Even though the kid is a nobody, I wouldn't want you to underestimate him because he has the Bolton Group backing him.""That's right!" Don exclaimed inwardly.This was exactly what he had expected to hear. He couldn't believe it was really the same Roderick Holmes who had beaten his son until he became useless and even ended the life of one of his men.Very well!Don Julio nodded slowly in satisfaction. The same kid whom he had planned to execute earlier had just gotten a whopping sum of five million from Caleb, who also wanted him dead.Isn't that a win-win?Don Julio felt butterflies in his stomach.Do you know how sweet it is to get paid for a job you already planned to carry out?With full confidence, Don answered Caleb, "No matter who is backing him, consider the kid dead, Mr. Houston."Don Julio tried his best to hide the j

    Don felt a quick shift inside him at the sight of Caleb. However, he managed to maintain his composure as he welcomed him."Mr. Houston, it's nice to have you here. Please, have a seat."Caleb sat down gently as Don offered.The air between them grew tense after they both settled into their seats.There was a reason for it. Caleb had once hired Don Julio for a job in the past and paid him handsomely. However, Don never carried out the job.When Caleb confronted Don about it, the Mafia Lord of Glacia City did not deny failing to complete the task.What he told Caleb was that he had only been paid for the job—he never promised to do the work.This was essentially a baseless excuse for Don's failure. He mentioned it only as a pretext.The real reason he never carried out the job was that someone else had offered him a higher amount than what Caleb had proposed.And what mattered most to Don was who was the highest bidder.Loyalty or anything of that sort did not concern him.It was irrel

    "Spare me, sir! It's not what you think, I have come to deliver a message to you!" Parrot shouted at the top of his voice as his eyes widened at the sight of his boss's fist swinging towards him.Don Julio's blow was already close when he suddenly paused after hearing him yell."What message is it?" Don Julio asked with a frown.He thought Parrot had come to question his order again.It was great luck for him that it was something else."Ehmm... Ehmm..." Parrot stammered as he struggled to catch his breath.He was panting heavily and at the same time grateful to the heavens that he hadn't met his end right then.He knew that if Don Julio's strike had reached him, almost half of his bones would have shattered in a flash."Will you speak or get out of my way?" Don Julio was already growing impatient.He couldn't stand to watch him recover from the shock and steady his breathing.With Parrot's unsteady breathing, he quickly spoke up. "I only want to inform you that you have a visitor wai

    Parrot's eyes widened in shock upon hearing Don's order.'The Unforgiven, the lord of destruction?!' he screamed in his mind in even greater shock.Parrot didn't see this matter as serious enough for his boss to summon The Unforgiven to strike.To him, it was like taking an armored tank to a fistfight.Among all the best fighters under Don Julio's command, after Unbreakable, The Unforgiven is next in line.Parrot knew his boss never summoned The Unforgiven to strike unless he wanted destruction.He understood that his boss might really want Roderick destroyed, but stepping beyond summoning The Unforgiven could bring them more trouble.This is because The Unforgiven's cravings aren't satisfied by destroying just a few things. Not until he destroys a wide range of things does he get a spike of satisfaction.Given the fact that it had also been a very long time since he was last summoned for destruction, his cravings this time would be higher than ever.This made Parrot panic, thinking T

    "Roderick Holmes?" Don Julio repeated the name in total disgust, his face twisted in irritation."Who the fuck is he? I have never heard of such a name in the whole of Glacia City. I expected whoever dared to offend me would have a name, but it turns out he is just a nobody whose name doesn't even ring a bell!"Don Julio's anger had already reached its peak as he spoke. Just then, a thought came to his mind. He felt that before the kid could be so confident as to send a threat to him, he probably must have some backing that keeps his mind at rest.Then, he turned to Parrot and asked, "What information did you find about him when you ran a background check? Why did he meddle in a matter that has nothing to do with him?""Sir, I only found out he was once a live-in son of the Santos family before he was kicked out. And as for why he meddled in the matter, I think it's because he's Miss Bolton's spokesperson.""And so what?! What if he's Miss Bolton's spokesperson?" Don roared as he got

    As soon as Marco completed all his explanations, it was as if a heavy rain that had been beating down on Don Julio where he stood had just stopped.At that moment, the Mafia Lord of Glacia City began to see life from a different perspective.He had always thought that he had secured a better future for his son by never giving him the chance to be part of his criminal world.But he never knew what life had in store for him in the future.With Marco's explanation, Don Julio learned why his son had called him a hypocrite and a bad person.The reasons were that he was having fun with high-class women, and he wanted to deprive his son of such pleasures.Moreover, he was a powerful figure who, with just a snap of his fingers, had men who would not hesitate to carry out his orders immediately.Don Julio came to understand that Marco must have seen that as the best way to live life: being on top of everyone, having the ability to control everyone with just a single word.So why did his father
