" He's dying? "

Ryan asked, shocked by the news brought to him.

The door was opened for him by a security guard, with Ryan taking a step into the Sendaya Castle, he couldn't believe his eyes, shocked by the glamorous beauty of the Sendaya Castle.

The interiors were on a whole different level entirely, a mesmerizing beauty.

" Yes, he's dying, although we don't know what exactly he was poisoned with but we do know it contains a certain type of deadly virus, It's slowly eating up his body, corrupting his insides in a brutal manner "

" It's quite saddening " Mr. Howard explained, he struggled to hold down the tears in his eyes.

" And where is he now? " Ryan curiously asked.

" He's currently being attended to in a private hospital I bought specially to treat him, we have four dozens of special doctors flying from all around the world just to attend to your father, even though he's dying "

" The treatment's extending his life expectancy for a certain period of time " Mr. Howard Sky explained.

" What of the person who poisoned my father? Has he been found yet? " Ryan asked.

" That's why your existence is important, Young Master Ryan, we are currently investigating who is responsible for the poisoning of Mr. Leonardo Castle but while the Patriach is currently incapacitated "

" Someone must take his position as the CEO of the Blackstone Inc and the Red Raven Group "

" The BlackStone inc is worth one trillion dollars while the Red Raven Group is worth seven hundred billion dollars, while there are a few members of the Castle Family out there "

" Only the heir can temporarily take over the Family "

Mr. Howard Sky explained.

" Mr. Howard? "

" I prefer you refer to me as Butler Sky or Butler Howard, however you see fit, my Lord, I'm simply a humble servant of your grace " Mr. Howard stated, his words were calm and gentle, Ryan was frozen.

He has heard news spoken about the infamous Merchant of Death, a man so destructive and ruthless, back then, although he was closely partnered with the Castle Family, he stayed as an independent merchant.

A name feared by many.

To refer such a man as Butler Sky? Ryan felt fear in his heart.

" Hmmm, It seems you are troubled about my past, Young Master Ryan but you shouldn't be, after all the Merchant of Death is dead, I'm a loyalist of the Castle Household, your loyal servant so feel free to call me Butler Sky " Mr. Howard explained.

Ryan sighed softly.

" That's fine, Butler Sky.....so what you're trying to tell me is that I've to take over and become the CEO of the BlackStone inc and the Red Raven Group? but didn't I just get here? " Ryan asked, he's still shocked.

He couldn't believe his eyes. Everything still seem like a dream to him.

Just a few hours ago, he was locked up in jail, accused of fraud and theft, with the charges brought against him by the Haimon Family, he saw himself facing nothing less than thirty years in prison.

Fated to rot away for crimes he never even saw himself commiting in the first place.

But now he's being offered a chance to rule over the companies worth of Hundreds of billions of dollars, with the BlackStone inc being a merchant company, controlling and regulating billions of dollars worth of assets.

The G-Ex Enterprise is an ant compared to a single company owned by the Castle Family.

" Yes, Young Master Ryan......you are the only son of Mr. Leonardo Castle, his only heir and while his seat as the chairman of the Red Raven Group is currently vacant and his position as the CEO of the BlackStone inc is currently empty "

" It must be filled or else there may be repercussions, the BlackStone inc is a trillion dollar company regulating the stock market itself, it's a powerful weapon that must not fall into the wrong hands "

" I know you are still new but this is a position you must accept " Butler Sky explained, his gracious demeanor stayed the same.

" But.....but....what about the Telecomserver? " Ryan questioned.

" The Telecomserver? " Butler Sky asked.

" Yes, back then, I did read in some reports that the Telecomserver's CEO was Mr. Leonardo Castle, If I'm going to take over, what about the Telecomserver? It's a primal father of most news outlets and entertainment industries " Ryan stated.

" A month ago, the TelecomServer belonged to your father but was usurped after the poison took effect......the company now belongs to your cousin, Enzo Castle " Butler Sky calmly explained.

" Ok...... before any decision is made, there's something I need to do first, My adoptive mother is suffering out there, if I must make any decision, she must be with me "

-------

The Southeast of Riverdale City was already under the control of the Haimon Family.

Once they were in control of the Southeast, Priscilla Haimon wasted no time and had Andressa Norman evicted out of the apartment she rented for the past ten years of her life with Ryan, being the adoptive mother of Ryan. They needed to deal with her.

The Haimon Family visited the apartment building with Priscilla standing at the center, facing the entrance of the Apartment building, behind her was her son Jared Haimon, Stephanie was present as well.

She came to witness the fun.

She had her eyes covered with the black shades she had on, the scorched sun beamed down from the sky, revealing her glowing skin.

Dressed in red, behind them were their luxurious cars lined up.

" Mom, where's that bitch already? why are you boys delaying? " Stephanie questioned, she's already losing her patience, meanwhile Priscilla couldn't help but giggle softly, her arms folded, her gaze remained fixed on the entrance.

" Be patient my beautiful angel, that bitch's coming already "

Priscilla answered.

What happened next was heartbreaking, the men whom Priscilla had bought and sent to storm the building dragged Andressa out, the old woman was thrown to the ground without care.

Heavy thud!

She fell on the ground, whimpering as she got bruised due to the roughness of the men, they had her dragged out alongside her properties, tossing them on the ground, Andressa's eyes were laced with tears.

Her heart etched in pains, she had nothing left, the only building that has been sustaining her was this apartment building and now she's being thrown out like a rag, Andressa was kicked so fervently.

She groaned out loud, she was whipped consecutively by the men who had her dragged out.

" Tch, that's enough " Priscilla commanded

Her words caused the men to halt their attacks.

Andressa recognized the voice, she raised her eyes, stunned to see Priscilla and her children standing over her.

" Priscilla? Thank goodness you are here.....please help...."

Andressa struggled to stand, brimming with hope that her in law Priscilla had come to save her but she got kicked to the ground by Jared, his menacing eyes fell upon her.

This startled Andressa.

" Priscilla? what's going on? " She asked, still bewildered by the events being played.

" A bitch like you don't have the right to speak my name, who do you think you are huh? you are just some lousy fool, a poor wretched thing " Priscilla cursed.

Andressa knelt on the ground in disbelief.

" Priscilla? It's me Andressa....your in law? what's happening? " Andressa asked.

" Hmph, in law? what kind of joke is that? my mother could never be in laws to a mother of a thief and fraudster, my mom bought this apartment building, I know you are poor and wretched "

" A thing like you can barely even feed herself, to think you raised such a poor and insignificant criminal, what a shame " Stephanie said.

She spat on Andressa's face. Causing Jared to giggle softly.

" Stephanie? are you talking to your mother in law like this? " Andressa asked.

But she received a kick to the face, the pressure exerted from the kick caused her to hit her head on the ground, her nose bled.

" Hmph, in law my foot, are you deaf? old hag? how dare a mere mother of a criminal like you refer to herself as my sister's in law? some trash really don't know their place, I was only going to allow my boys beat you small "

" But it seems you need your face to be disfigured before you learn your lesson "

" Boys, fuck her face up " Jared gave the order.

" Yes boss " They resounded in unison, giggling and whispering amongst themselves, they fiercely grabbed hold of Andressa, she was beaten gruesomely without remorse.

The Haimons laughed at the suffering of Andressa.

" What's going on here? "

A familiar voice echoed, halting all movements, they recognized the voice, tilting their gaze towards a certain direction to see Ryan approaching them, still dressed in his rag. Stephanie giggled softly

" Well well well, speak of the devil.....look who do we have here, is the criminal here to steal again? " Stephanie mockingly asked.

Glaring directly into the eyes of Ryan.

Ryan saw his mom battered on the ground, profusely bleeding, his fists clenched.

If eyes could kill, they would already be dead.
