The four security guards stormed toward Serena with a menacing air. Serena's expression darkened as she demanded coldly, "What do you think you're doing?!" "What do you think?! We're going to make you kneel and apologize!" Tim shouted, waving, "Make her kneel and apologize to Eric!" "Yes!" The security guards obeyed the order and grabbed Serena's delicate arms, forcing her down onto her knees. Serena struggled fiercely, shouting, "No! I won't kneel! You have no right to make me kneel! I'm not part of the Swift family anymore! I am my own person!" Despite Serena's struggles, it was no use. Sophia approached with a cold expression and delivered a heavy slap across Serena's face, yelling, "You wretch! The Swift family is in this state because of you! Today, you will kneel whether you want to or not! Make her kneel!" Sophia grabbed Serena by her hair and yanked her head back, her beautiful face twisted in pain and defiance, tears in her eyes. Serena spat blood onto Soph
Tim turned his gaze toward Serena, who was on the ground and signaled his assistant to bring a few documents. He spoke coldly, "Serena, don't say I'm not giving you a chance. These are company transfer documents. If you transfer all of Serenco to me, I'll let you go and allow your family to return to the Swift family records. Additionally, I'll give your family an annual dividend of 1.5 million dollars. Isn't that a good deal? You can sit back and earn money without any worries." The enticing offer caught the attention of Violet and Royce. "Serena, agree with him! You can make 1.5 million every year without lifting a finger. It's a good deal!" Violet urged. Royce chimed in, "Yes, Serena, agree with Uncle Tim. I don't want us to be cast out of the Swift family..." However, Serena responded with a scoff, "Tim, are you dreaming? Serenco is my and Xayne's hard work, and no one is taking it away from us!" Tim's expression darkened. He put the documents away and stared coldly at Se
Tim was completely terrified by Xayne's chilling gaze. He stuttered, "You... What are you going to do? I'm your uncle! This is the Swift Group! We... we're just discussing business matters. If you dare to use force, I'll report you! You'll spend your life behind bars!""Yes, yes! Xayne, don't mess around! There are people backing our family too!" said Sophia as she was frightened. She had been quite harsh with Serena. If Xayne sought revenge, she definitely would not escape.However, in the face of their words, Xayne showed no fear. He smirked coldly and said, "I want to kill someone, and no one has ever dared to stop me! Even if it's considered using force, dealing with small-minded people like you is just retribution!"Insulting the wife of the King of the North is a capital offense. Now, you should think about how to beg for my wife's forgiveness!"With that, Xayne stepped forward, grabbed Tim's collar, and lifted him.Tim's feet were off the ground for a moment, his face tur
The executives from other companies and the Swift family's core members all wore expressions of shock."Eric is dead?!""Xayne killed him?!""That was so sudden!"At that moment, Tony's family of three, including Serena, resting on the side, were all dumbfounded."Eric died from anger?"Xayne frowned, staring at the fallen old man. He quickly stepped forward, gripping Eric's wrist and finding no pulse."Get away! Do you still want to defile Eric's body?!" Tim suddenly pushed Xayne away, shouting, "Xayne! My Swift family will never coexist with you! You angered Eric to death today, and my family will hold you accountable!"Xayne frowned. With such a sudden turn of events, he could not continue questioning.Serena also trembled as she walked over, looking at Eric, who had died suddenly, then at Xayne. She understood when the latter shook his head slightly.At that moment, Serena's heart was also in pain.After all, it was her grandfather. Suddenly dying at this moment, as a gr
Soon after Tyson offered his respect to the old man, he came to the backyard of the Swift residence. He calmly sat and sipped tea."This tea is not bad. It seems like you know your tea as the family patriarch," Tyson said with a smile, setting down his teacup.Tim quickly smiled and said, "Mr. Tyson, you're joking. Without Mr. Tyson's help, I wouldn't have become the head of the Swift family so easily. If you like this tea, I'll have someone bring some for you.""There's no need for that," Tyson smiled and said. Then, he got straight to the point. "I came today to discuss some matters with you.""Please, go ahead," Tim said hastily, showing great deference. He understood that without Tyson, there would be no him today. More accurately, the present Swift family was a negligible lackey of the Bullard family. However, Tim was willing because he was ambitious.Tyson smiled and said, "It's not any orders, just a few trivial matters. First, my family has decided to support the Swift f
Sophia shouted at the top of her lungs.Tim shook his head and sat back down, his face darkening. "Although Mr. Tyson can help our Swift family rise to prominence in Venzor, I always feel it is not simple. There's no such thing as a free lunch. Mr. Tyson must want to use our family to get something."Sophia said, "Dad, why do you think like that? Whatever Mr. Tyson wants, we will do it. Being a part of the Bullard family is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. So what if we're being used?"Upon hearing Sophia's words, Tim nodded. "Yes! You're right! Even if we're being used, what does it matter? As long as the Swift family rises, nothing else matters."Meanwhile, inside the villa, Serenco was planning to withdraw from Venzor and relocate to Folksworth. After returning from the family’s villa, Serena went to the company office. Although Tony's family of three were reluctant to leave Venzor, they had no other choice now. After all, the family was now under Tim's control, and they coul
Upon seeing this, Draven and Ace quickly stepped forward, but Xayne raised his hand to signal them to step back. Then, Xayne calmly sat down and looked at Edwin, who was full of anger.Edwin frowned slightly and asked, "Aren't you afraid I'll shoot?"Xayne smiled and said, "Mr. Edwin, you won't shoot."Edwin relaxed and put away his gun, asking with a smile, "Why?""Because you still need my help," Xayne said calmly, his eyes full of confidence.Edwin applauded and said, "You are truly worthy of being the King of the North. I greatly admire such courage and confidence."Xayne smiled and said, "To cut a long story short, Mr. Edwin, I need to go to the Black Prison immediately."Edwin picked up the glass on the table, took a sip of wine, and shook his head. "I'm sorry, Commander Xayne, you've come at a very bad time. Recently, there probably won't be any chance to enter the Black Prison."Upon hearing this, Xayne's face showed urgency as he asked, "Why?"Edwin snapped his finger
“Xayne, my dear nephew, you're back?" Mikael walked briskly from the door, his face full of joy as he embraced Xayne.Xayne smiled and said, "Uncle Mikael, I have something to ask for your help this time."Mikael nodded, gesturing for Xayne to sit down, and asked, "What is it? I'll help if I can."Xayne got straight to the point. "Uncle Mikael, do you know if the Leader of Pluto has the key to the Black Prison?"Upon hearing this, Mikael's face darkened, and his eyes became extremely serious as he asked, "How did you know?"Xayne replied, "Edwin told me. To enter the Black Prison now, one must obtain the key from Harris."Mikael fell silent, got up, and paced back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back.Finally, he stopped and looked at Xayne, saying, "Indeed, the Leader of Pluto does have a key to the Black Prison. However, obtaining that key is no easy task. I don't even have the authority to approach him. If you want to get that key, you'll need to negotiate wit
