In Karl’s mind, Sir Daugherty should be slightly older than him, and he should be at least thirty years old.Hal the Milk Lover sounded old-fashioned every time he sent a message, so Karl thought this guy must be forty years old if not older.But now, two four-year-old boys had actually shown up in front of him.Karl began to question reality. But when the kids spoke, the things that they said made him accept the fact.“K, we have something very important to ask of you,” Alden said seriously and sternly.Karl felt dizzy as he sat down on the couch.“Please go and meet Terry North on my behalf,” Alden said. “You know how we met, so I won’t waste any time talking about it again. When you see him, you just mainly have to check the recent name list of the Astroysian army in the Black Party.”He spoke in an orderly and logical manner. Although his voice was soft and childlike, it was difficult for even an adult to say those words. Karl’s frustration increased.He was the most bril
Karl glanced around the restaurant, and there was only one customer. The man with the golden mask was sitting near the balcony, and he made Karl’s heart seize for some reason.He had seen footage and photos of Terry North on the news before, so he knew that this man was not easy to deal with. But he only realized how powerful Terry North’s aura was when he met the man.Karl’s hacking skills were among the top in the world, but he did not practice martial arts.He stopped fooling around and slowly walked over.When Terry North cast a cold glance at him, he shuddered in fear.The man’s gaze was too fierce and ruthless.No wonder Mama Daugherty mentioned that this man was very dangerous. It looked like she had not lied to him.“Why are you alone?” the indifferent Terry North asked in fluent English.His voice was cold, but it was not filled with killing intent. He was quite calm.Karl’s heart dropped slightly. He sat down in the chair and purposely complained, “Hal the Milk Lover
Buzz! Alden’s phone vibrated. The group turned to him in unison.He cast a glance at the caller before he pursed his lips and said, “It’s K.” Adina breathed a sigh of relief. It appeared that K was fine. “Pick up the call and ask him about the current situation,” she said plainly.The moment Alden answered the call, he heard the icy cold voice of a man from the other end of the phone. “K is in my hands now. If you want to save him, come and see me.”Right after the man spoke, he hung up.The living room fell extremely quiet.After some time, Alden said, “Mommy, I have to go there by myself.”Adina pursed her lips.K had been caught. If she allowed Alden to go and save him, Alden would be in danger. Adina stood up and said, “I’ll go. I have a way to save Karl.”“Mommy, Terry and I are friends. I’ve deceived him once by having K meet him on my behalf. I’ll be deceiving him for the second time if I let you go on my behalf,” Alden said solemnly. “Your relationship with your
Even though she had only met Terry once, the image of his features was etched in her heart…When she saw the children’s eyes, nose, and lips… she found they and Terry had been cast in the same mold.Could they be Terry’s illegitimate children?A hint of hostility appeared in Isabelle’s eyes.Meanwhile, Alden and George turned a blind eye to her and sat on the couch. “Who are you?”Isabelle crossed her legs as she questioned them indifferently and warily.“Who are you?” George coolly asked in return.The boy was arrogant, aloof, and collected. His aura was similar to that of Terry. Isabelle took a deep breath. “I’m Terry’s fiancee—”Before she could finish speaking, a cold and stern voice rang out, “Who’s my fiancee?” Isabelle froze.Even though everyone in Hestia Border was aware that her father had plans to betroth her to Terry, he had never agreed to it.Therefore, she only dared to tell others that she was his fiancee behind his back. She never thought Terry would
Alden and George worked hand-in-hand and breached the mansion’s firewall in just five minutes.Terry’s gaze turned gloomy.Ever since he moved into the mansion, he had personally programmed all of the surveillance and intelligent systems. Common hackers could not possibly break into his systems.However, the two four- or five-year-old children had effortlessly cracked his defenses before him. If the local force recruited the children to work for them, Terry would constantly be at great risk…“Release Karl,” Terry instructed his men indifferently.The guards outside the mansion went to the back and escorted Karl out from a black room. They then tossed him outside the mansion. Alden and George got up. “We’ll leave now.”“Do you think you can leave just like that?” Terry said coolly. “There had to be an ulterior motive for asking Karl to come to me as you, right? Aren’t you going to explain?”George was slightly baffled after he heard Terry’s manner of speech and saw the glimps
Was it possible to have two people with such similar voices in this world?If Terry was truly his father, why did he not look surprised and delighted upon seeing him and Alden?George had identified the wrong person as his father...He missed his father too much and had mistaken the man before him as his father. That had to be the case, right?George held back his tears and said in a low voice, “Our father is Duke Winters. Have you heard of this name?”Terry was struck dumb.Duke Winters…He felt like he had heard the name somewhere…Where had he heard it from? It could have likely been from his dreams or elsewhere…For a moment, he could not recall it, so he casually said, “I’ll give you the latest list of Astroysians in the military.”He then tapped his fingers on the keyboard. George swept a glance across his fingers and noticed that Terry’s knuckles were injured. There were both old and new injuries. Meanwhile, his father had fair, clean, and slender fingers. They did
Right after Alden and George left, Elder Maurice gulped down the whole plate of kidneys.He licked the blood stains off his lips and said with satisfaction, “I suppose the kidneys came from a four- or five-year-old child. They’re tasty.”As the saying went, you were what you ate. Hence, Elder Maurice believed his kidneys would become stronger if he consumed the kidneys of virgin boys. The man behind the mask had turned icy cold. He tapped his fingers on the table and bluntly said, “Mr. Maurice, did you come here just for the dish?”Elder Maurice wiped the corners of his lips with a piece of tissue paper. He then raised his chin and said, “I came to discuss the Black Party’s future operations with you.”He took out a stack of documents. “I have no objections to you closing these industries. But what about these ones? The casino is one of them. We’ve never committed any murders, or arson, or dealt with any heavy weapons over there. Casinos are a legal business in many countries. Wh
The point was, if Terry died, would she be able to find another man that could move her heart? There was no doubt that Terry had to die because he was going against her father. But before Terry died, Isabelle wanted to have some fun with him.“Father, don’t worry. I’ll find a way.”The father-daughter pair walked further away as they talked.Meanwhile, Terry sat on the couch, and a murderous intent filled his eyes.If it had not been for the fact that Elder Maurice was in control of Hestia Border’s economic lifeline, Terry would have sent Elder Maurice and his family to jail long ago.Unfortunately, Terry had not built a solid foundation. Hence, he could not simply lay his hand on the Black Party’s top management.The only power he had was military power.Political and economic power needed to go hand-in-hand. He could not lack either one.If Terry wanted to execute his reformation in Hestia smoothly, he had to control its economy.Just then, the Eastern lady’s words echoed
