Luca frowned upon hearing the announcement from the administrator. Suddenly, the administrator’s index finger pointed toward the section of the audience where he was standing.Luca blinked as a spotlight fell directly on him, cutting through the dim atmosphere of the library. He cursed under his breath, realizing that every pair of eyes in the room was now fixed upon him.“Damn it...” Luca muttered.“In this club, we have a new arrival: the heir to the Kane family, accompanied by his companion. Are you prepared to swear, by your family name and by this club, that nothing you hear here will ever be leaked, not even to other heirs?” the scientist asked.Everyone held their breath, staring at Luca. Realizing he had no other choice, Luca nodded.“Yes, I swear by my name that no outsider will ever learn anything about this club,” Luca said, choosing his words with care. “You are all surely aware of the struggle for the throne between my sibling and me, aren’t you? That should be proof enou
Chapter 149
The library, where the science club gathered, fell suddenly silent as Luca stepped inside.Dozens of eyes, most filled with judgment, scorn, and disbelief, fixed upon him and Ava frowned, scanning the room and wondering why everyone had begun to whisper.“Why is everyone staring at us, and why are they whispering?” Ava asked, moving closer to Luca’s side. “What did you do? What exactly did you ask Joffrey for yesterday?”“Nothing much. I just asked him to cast me in a more unfavorable light, to paint me as the ‘problem child’ of the family,” Luca replied. “I told him to keep it within the scientific community, just among the members of this club. I also had him spread the word that I’m locked in a power struggle for the throne against Damon and losing so I’ve come here seeking support. That way, people here might lower their guard and perhaps offer their wares in exchange for me selling their products through the black market. Now, we just wait for them to approach us.”“Have you lost

“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.”
Chapter 147
“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’
Chapter 145
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
