Kelly's vision became blurry after he saw this. It didn't seem like this was any form of acting, Mr. Hart was genuinely frightened.

Kelly gulped with his heart ever throbbing on his chest. He was in a whole lot of trouble.

He brought out his cell phone from his pockets and looked at his time. It was thirty seconds past the time that he had given.

"Look at what your subordinate did to my friends and you still dare to come late?" Clinton was furious.

"I'm very sorry, young master. I didn't intend to. Please temper justice with Mercy." He said.

Without saying a word, one of the guards quickly ran to the boy who was on the floor and felt his temperature.

"Master, he is running cold. I think that we have to take him to the hospital as soon as possible." He announced.

The words seemed to calm Clinton down and he was more worried about their safety than any other things.

"Mr. Hart. I can't afford to lose any of them." Clinton said.

"Yes, young master. I would die instead in their place." 

Clinton could see that he could not stand and he nodded his head. With his own hands, Mr. Hart took the child off before placing him into the car.

After everything that had happened, Sandra could no longer hold it anymore and she soon passed out right in the hands of the guards, Clinton on the other hand decided to join them.

Before leaving for the hospital that day, Mr. Hart stared right into the eyes of Kelly with so much disdain and he shivered right on the spot.

"Tell your parents to prepare any statement of ownership that they have with them to my office tomorrow or I am going to wipe out every single one of you." She sneered before walking away.

Kelly gulped still in a gaze. The throbbing of his heart in his chest at the moment increased even more and he gulped.

How was he going to deliver such news to his parents? He fell right to the floor and the rain that dripped from the sky drained his tears.

His family had spent all the years of their lives trying to build a good relationship with this person. They were just his workers in the first place but they had earned fortunes..

But all because of him, it was all gone. The hard work that they had built over the years all gone in a few seconds. More tears ran down his cheeks.

"What have I done?" He said not caring the moment people were stunned to see the Almighty heir of the Swindon family business group acting so weak at the moment.

....

"Sir Clinton." A voice rang in Clinton's head.

He had almost fallen asleep. After making sure that Clare and her brother were properly treated, he retired to his seat, his gaze still on them and he didn't even remember when he had slipped off into a sleep.

He opened his eyes to meet with the gaze of Mr. Hart who quickly jerked back in his steps seeing that his young master was Joe fully awake.

He had already gotten him angry once and it would be a death wish for him if such a thing dared to occur again.

"You seemed uncomfortable here so I booked a reservation." There was an awkward smile on his face.

"Oh. Thanks but you should not have gone through the stress Mr. Hart. I am sorry for earlier too. It wasn't your fault that someone under your wing was acting in such a manner." He said.

Hart was stunned that the young billionaire was apologizing to him but didn't dare to say anything.

"If you could get me a ride to my hostel, I would be more than happy," Clinton revealed.

Hart was stunned after hearing this awkward request. If Clinton had even requested that he be given all his car, he was willing to hand it over. He was more like the owner of all of these properties in the first place.

"I would be more than glad to give you a lift." Said to him.

Clinton stared at Lisa and her brother at the private room. She had already been cleaned up and placed into a better pair of clothes..

His heart jumped seeing her cute face at the moment and for the first time, he noticed what beautiful lady he had been keeping by his side all these while.

"You should be doing this." Clinton quickly pushed his red face away from her, hoping that Mr. Hart had not seen all of that..

"Take care of them." He said with a really soft voice.

"I make sure that they get the best treatment." He said with a bow..

He had already gotten his young master angry once and he was not going to allow that to repeat itself again.

With that, Clinton was led off to the car and was taken to his hostel. He was conscious and even though it was a thick night, his roommates were not at least. They were only pretending to.

Clinton lay on his bed like he didn't notice all of that. He could hear the sigh from almost every one of them. They were truly sorry for him after what had happened earlier but he was way past that already.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the other part of the city, there was someone who kept on pacing in the room. Jake Anderson, Present of the Cooper's family and the most powerful families in the city.

During the time that Mr. Hart had received a strange call, he was there and wanted to strike a business deal with him.

However, Hart didn't even spare him the slightest glance after he had received this call only to find out that it was all because of a student in Hawkins.

Someone powerful enough to move the Almighty Mr. Hart whom he saw as his savior like he was just nothing but a baby.

'I have to get this man no matter what I have to do. It's the solution to all our problems.' 

"Dad, you sent it to me." A voice from behind suddenly interrupted the train of his thoughts.

He turned around as his gaze was now fixed on his beautiful daughter, Evelyn in a white dress.

She was the bloom of a new flower and every guy would want her for themselves. However, Evelyn had always chased away every single one of them, they were never her type.

"Yes. I called. I want you to become a tutor at Hawkins Special University." He said.

Evelyn was stunned after he heard these words. She just graduated and was supposed to be working by his side and the heir of their family yet he wanted her to become some sort of teacher in a law that she would never have accepted to be a student. Was life suddenly playing a joke on her?

"Don't worry. I will make sure that no one knows about your identity." He said.

Mr. Cooper went ahead to explain to her everything that he had witnessed. Their family was currently number ten in the city.

But wire the way that the market was going, it was only a matter of time before they eventually fell to the bottom of the ladder.

For this reason, they needed someone who was going to help them raise their company beyond reach.

Mr. Hart was the only person that he could think of that he would be able to reach out to in the first instance.

But that was until he encountered this person that he didn't even know their name.

"Dad, are you showing me about this!" Evelyn still had her uncertainty.

"Yeah, I am sure that you will at least be married before this year's end to a powerful husband." He responded.

    e court was so silent that even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard. The ministers looked at Xiao Ming, each with their own thoughts.After a while, Emperor Xiao Wenxuan looked at Xiao Ming and asked, “Prince Qi, is this cannon matter true?”Xiao Ming replied, “Father Emperor, the cannon is real. However, I simply changed the name of the fire tube. The cannon looks similar to the fire tube, but its range has been increased.”“I see.”Xiao Wenxuan nodded. Xiao Ming did not hide the matter of the cannon, which made him feel reassured.At this point, Cui Hao said, “Since that’s the case, Your Highness should hand over the cannon technology. Whether it’s a fire tube or a cannon, as long as it can defeat the barbarians, Your Highness should contribute it for the sake of the Great Yu Empire.”With just a few words, the topic in court shifted from rewarding achievements to demanding the cannon technology. This shift in focus was exactly what Cui Hao and his faction intended.They were

    “Hahaha…”Loud laughter echoed in the Chengqing Hall. The King of Wei was all smiles; today, Xiao Ming unexpectedly gave him some face.He pulled Xiao Ming aside and said, “Dear nephew, this great victory in Cangzhou—you are the main hero. But your royal uncle provided a lot of money, food, and supplies, so I deserve some credit too. On the court later, you should go easy on me.”“Third Royal Uncle, this time our father ordered us both to defend Qingzhou. So this credit should belong to both of us. I won’t fight over the merit, but later you must fully support me in return.”“Oh? Go ahead, tell me what you want,” the King of Wei was delighted—if Xiao Ming needed his help, things would be much easier.Xiao Ming smiled mysteriously. “With your wisdom, Uncle, you’ll understand soon enough.”As they were speaking, Feng Deshui suddenly walked into the hall and loudly announced: “His Majesty has arrived!”All the ministers quickly returned to their places and stood straight.

    Golden sunlight blanketed the palace buildings, and the early morning palace seemed to radiate a strong aura of auspiciousness.Luo Quan’s words made Xiao Ming nod slightly. He wasn’t agreeing to give the cannons to the imperial guards, but he did agree with Luo Quan’s distrust of the vassal lords.This was exactly what a loyal general should say and a reason that made Luo Quan worth winning over.“This cannon production technology—I will give it to no one,” Xiao Ming answered Luo Quan with a firm tone.“Your Highness… this…” Luo Quan looked confused, even slightly angry. It was understandable if Xiao Ming didn’t want to give it to other vassal lords, but to refuse even the imperial guards, who were directly under the emperor—this he couldn’t understand.Lu Fei, standing behind, let out a big sigh of relief. He had truly been worried Xiao Ming might agree too easily. Luo Xin seemed deep in thought.Luo Quan’s reaction was just as Xiao Ming had expected. Once he said this in court, the

    A round red sun had just risen over the horizon when the sound of bells suddenly rang out in Chang’an City.After three rounds of bell chimes, the gatekeepers in the city gradually opened the gates of each residential ward. People began appearing on the morning streets, and thin wisps of cooking smoke slowly floated into the sky.Yesterday afternoon, Xiao Ming had stayed at the Jade Water Pavilion until the palace gates were about to close, and only then did Consort Zhen reluctantly let him leave.In Chang’an City, Feng Deshui had already prepared a temporary, elegant courtyard for Xiao Ming to stay in.After seven days of tiring travel, he was already very exhausted. After returning last night, he slept straight through until now.“Your Highness, it’s time for breakfast. In a little while, you’ll probably be summoned to court.”After washing up, Lü Luo brought in breakfast. It was made by the cooks who had come with him from the prince’s residence.Because of his current status and t

    In the Jade Water Pavilion, Liu li had been waiting at the door.Since the morning, Consort Zhen had asked several times, afraid of missing Prince Qi.But it was understandable. Prince Qi had been gone for three years. For a mother, nothing was more painful than that. After all, Prince Qi was now Consort Zhen’s only hope.Leaning by the door, Liu li was bored and counting flower petals. When she heard footsteps, she instinctively looked in the direction of the sound.She saw a young eunuch leading a handsome young man toward the Jade Water Pavilion.In the inner palace where the concubines lived, the only man who could freely come and go was the former emperor, other than that, only the princes could enter.Looking at this young man, Liu li was immediately surprised and happy. Although Xiao Ming’s appearance had changed a lot in the past three years, his general look was still the same. She immediately ran back excitedly, shouting, “My lady, my lady, His Highness is back!

    Autumn had arrived. The elm trees on both sides of Vermilion Bird Avenue shed their leaves as the breeze gently passed.Triggered by the splendor of Chang’an, Lu Fei said with envy, “When will Qingzhou ever be as prosperous as this place?”“That’s tough. Chang’an has been the capital of seven dynasties. Its prosperity is inherited,” Luo Xin replied proudly.“Nonsense! Prosperity isn’t like having children—it can’t just be passed down. Hmph, as long as His Highness is in Qingzhou, it won’t take many years before we surpass Chang’an,” Lu Fei retorted.Luo Xin curled his lip, clearly unconvinced.Xiao Ming smiled. Actually, Luo Xin had a point. The prosperity of Chang’an came from the concentration of all the nobility and powerful people of Great Yu.In modern economic terms, it was high consumption driving Chang’an’s economy and prosperity.Right now, his strategy in Qingzhou—to attract merchants—served the same purpose.While the group was traveling halfway along the route, the sudden
