Chapter 148
“His wife said that she and the scientist have been in a relationship for a long time, and they have a daughter named Mia waiting for their return at home,” Ava explained once they had returned to the Kane family estate.Damon was being dragged toward his room by several servants as the white haired man appeared heavily intoxicated. Luca surmised that Joffrey had given up on trying to manage that behavior, as the butler simply walked in and shook his head the moment he saw Damon’s condition.“Right, and the scientist also mentioned that the situation is precarious because it seems he’s joined some sort of organization,” Luca said. “He said he’d keep an eye on his associates, just in case any strange deals or suspicious activities took place. He’s already given us the name of that major organization so we really ought to keep an eye on his wife and child as well, considering how much he’s helped us.”

“What? Isn’t this party exclusively for heirs? How did a scientist get in here?” Luca asked. The stranger shook his head and shrugged.“I have no idea, and I don’t intend to question it further. Sometimes, if a scientist has the privilege of entry, it means they have business to attend to,” the man said. “It’s no secret that they might be suddenly invited by an heir looking to buy something from another company at a bargain price. But that wouldn’t happen with my company, as I keep a very tight rein on my people.”“Alright, we’ve talked long enough. I hope we meet again, Kane. I might need to purchase your pharmaceuticals, and I look forward to a good working relationship,” the stranger said before walking away.Luca and Ava exchanged glances and they realized they now had proof that the scientists had a secret group.“Haha, thank you, sir. You’re too kind, though I

“A–argh… My leg…”“Hey,” Luca said, approaching the scientist and the scientist’s eyes widened the moment he saw Luca.“M–Master Luca! It’s not what you think! I’m not here with any ill intent, and—”“Then explain why you’re in the hallway leading to my room,” Luca said, glancing at the empty silver tray that had fallen not far from where the scientist had collapsed. “Were you trying to steal something? Is a scientist’s salary not enough to cover your needs?”“N–no, sir! The pay is plenty!” The scientist paused, and Luca waited for him to continue. “I only came here because Ser Damon asked me to bring him his meal.”“Because that corpse was found inside the machine, I had to track down the two of you, the bosses, right? Well, I actually wanted to summon Ser Damon to see the body, but he treats me like a servant, so I had no choice but to comply. You can check his room. He’s eating right now. I swear to God, I didn’t steal anything!” the scientist explained and when Luca checked Damon’

RIIIP!Luca pulled back the blood stained white cloth covering the mound inside the factory’s press machine, and a pungent, foul stench instantly filled the air.Everyone present, workers included, winced and some even retched at the sight of the human skeleton inside as Luca shone his flashlight onto the remains."What bastard dared to kill someone in my factory?" Luca muttered. Ava tapped the brown haired man’s arm and Luca watched as Joffrey, the senior butler, was summoned over and the old man’s face had gone deathly pale at the sight."Any idea who this is, or how he ended up here?" Luca asked, but Joffrey shook his head."I can't say for sure, but judging by the badge and the suit, it looks like the chief scientist who was reported missing," Joffrey said with a nod. "Yes, that’s definitely him and he was the only one in the company who wore those tacky glasses. But he was declared missing years ago so someone mus

“Forgive me if the child seems sharp tongued, but please know he means no harm by his words. I’ve spent years trying to teach him manners,” said the man in the lab coat. Luca nodded, and the man gestured toward him.“By the way, my name is Michael. Michael Harvey, if you’re curious. I’m a scientist working in the packaging and pharmaceutical divisions of this child’s family company. I was also a confidant and right hand man to the child’s late father.”“I see. It’s a pleasure to meet you. I wouldn’t have expected a boss to make a scientist their confidant or right hand man, usually, they’re just ordinary assistants,” Luca remarked, prompting a laugh from Michael.“Yes, I understand. Usually, a boss only trusts a scientist as a confidant if they share a blood connection, close or distant, right? Well, the reason is simple: I’m not much older than the child’s father. We went to the same school and even sat next to each other,” Michael explained. Shortly after, a woman called out to him

The next day, Luca, Damon, and Ava stood at the prestigious family’s lavish cemetery, watching as the man was laid to rest.The heir was promptly announced as the future successor to the family's power, while the mother was now tasked with taking over the entire business empire.The deceased man had been the family’s only son and Luca hoped the boy would fare well, as shouldering such a heavy burden at a young age was an incredibly arduous path to walk.“Ugh...”Luca quickly turned his head as he caught sight of a familiar figure in a lab coat moving at the edge of his vision.He began to wonder if he was hallucinating or perhaps due to the sudden surge of power he had to keep in check, or simply because the air and atmosphere of Canada felt too hazy for his liking.“And yet, none of the lobotomized assassins I controlled ever saw or noticed the man I’m talking about,” Luca muttered, before feeling a
