"Hmph. How much talent could a girl like her possibly have? To suddenly turn around and become the Vice President of Sunny Group—you expect me to believe she did that on her own? I don’t buy it."
Pausing for a moment, Luke grew even more incensed when

Duncan narrowed his eyes at the man sitting across from him. Without betraying much emotion, he set his teacup down on the table."Elegant tea, tranquil lotuses... this should rightfully belong to a man with a virtuous heart."Duncan’s deep, magnetic voice echoed throughout the room.The lingering scent of lotus was incredibly pleasant, yet Duncan frowned."It is precisely because the heart is not at peace that one seeks it," Louis White replied, shaking his head with a smile before taking a sip of tea."Louis White, I wonder why you invited my wife here?"Duncan didn't want to waste time. Would a man who sought out a place of absolute serenity only to use it as a base for w
Chapter 188 - Facing Louis White
Hubert trembled. Despite being a soldier, his duties had mostly involved protecting City Neon. In cities like that, one rarely encountered war or heavy explosives—certainly not heavy-duty weaponry like this. Based on his training, the destructive power of these bombs was immense. How had they managed to smuggle them into the village in such quantities?"What should we do? Should we head back to the base to plan?" Hubert asked, his anxiety rising."No time." Duncan shook his head. He knew that if the family was this prepared, they already knew his team was here. Retreating would only alert them further. They likely didn't realize he already knew about the bombs. This was his chance to find and neutralize them."Hubert, how many elite soldiers can we mobilize in the East?" Duncan asked. Every region had its elit
Chapter 187 - Captured
Duncan had just arrived at the airport, intending to head to City Neon to find Kate, when Michael’s call came through."Mr. Duncan... Miss Kate, she..."Michael struggled to find the words. Kate had gone North, and it seemed she was truly looking for Duncan. Had his words that night influenced her? Or had Lucius done something again? But that was hardly worth mentioning compared to the more difficult news Michael had to deliver."Speak up. Stop stuttering," Duncan said, his voice tinged with impatience and irritation.Sensing the gravity of the situation, Michael dared not hesitate any longer. "Miss Kate went North to find you, but...""Get to the point."Hearing that Kate w
Chapter 186: The Truth Revealed
In the end, he couldn't even keep his wife, and his kindness had been trampled upon. Michael looked at Duncan, understanding exactly where his rage was coming from.Once, on the battlefield, the enemy had ruthlessly used children as soldiers, knowing the General would never kill a child. Though it had been difficult, they hadn't harmed a single one. When questioned, the innocent children simply said, "Because they gave us food... they said it was a game."Those people had exploited the innocence of children; they were worse than beasts. Seeing that innocent boy had touched a warm spot in Duncan’s heart, and the fact that the boy was an orphan, made Duncan empathize even more. Aunt Sophia had lived a hard life, mistreated by the MacCoinnich family and struggling with poverty before working as a maid. If it hadn't been for Duncan and Michael looking out for
Chapter 185: The Buried Truth
At that moment, Aunt Sophia was tidying up and taking her grandson to the room to rest. Regaining her composure, she prepared to head up to meet Duncan."Aunt Sophia..."It was Miss Bunny’s voice."Miss Bunny, where have you been these past few days? The Master has just returned."Aunt Sophia was slightly surprised to see Miss Bunny's return."Everyone was gone, and... I was just a bit bored, so I went out for a while."Miss Bunny had intended to leave for good; after all, she had lost Duncan’s trust. However, over the past few days, the further she stayed away from him, the more she realized her heart was set on Duncan for a lifetime.
Chapter 184: The Turning Point
"Luca, why do you think I waited this long?" Duncan's tone turned dangerous."I..." Luca bowed his head, not daring to say he didn't know.Was he joking?Chairman Sparks was a fence-sitter who went wherever the wind blew, but he knew how to flatter the Cabinet and win over the public. Those roots weren't shallow; touching them could destabilize the entire foundation."Why did I put you in the Cabinet? Why did I build a faction for you?" Duncan shook his head slightly at him. "Is Chairman Sparks’ foundation deeper than the great families? The Jamieson family, the Templeton family, the Vaughn family, and the MacCoinnich family over there... everyone is looking at his position like hungry tigers.""Luca, do you kn
