“Please come forward, Mr. Devon,” Margot called out to the right side of the living room.

Soon, a young man walked forward with a smile.

He had an air of nobility about him, and he was dressed head to toe in designer clothes. But his looks were only average.

“This is the second son of Somerton’s Aquila family, Devon Aquila,” Margot said with a smile as she introduced Devon to Simone and her family.

“I’m Devon Aquila. Hello, Simone, Mr. David, and Ms. Monique.” Devon greeted Simone and her family politely. He was very formal and appropriate.

He then shot a glance at Simone, and his eyes gleamed.

While Simone was not of high social standing, she had an ethereal grace and beauty about her that was something that most rich heiresses only hoped to compare to.

She was very pretty. While she was not drop-dead gorgeous, she was close enough to captivate many people.

Devon seldom met such beautiful women.

Her attitude and looks were a perfect blend and made her incredibly attr

    For a time, no one dared to say anything. “Good!” Margot was satisfied and was about to seal the deal. “I object,” Dustin said. “You?” Margot looked at him, and her face darkened. “Who do you think you are? You have no place to speak here.” “Shut up! Pick up the money on the floor and leave!” Christian shooed him away in annoyance. “You’re not satisfied with three million dollars and want to marry Simone anyway? Dream on! You’re not even worthy of dusting Mr. Devon’s shoes, and you dare try to steal Simone from him?” Devon scowled. He looked at Dustin and frowned. “I heard that you saved Simone’s life once. If you’re not satisfied with three million, I can give you ten. Stop bothering her from now on, or you’ll pay for it.” He took out a checkbook, scribbled down a figure, and signed it. Then, he threw the check at Dustin. To him, the problems that could be solved with money were no big deal at all. It was just ten million, anyway. He would just treat it as charity to

    “Are you saying that you called the president of the Excelsior Group to help the Langley Group?” asked Dustin with a teasing tone as he stared fixedly at Devon. Devon’s face froze. But after some thought, he assumed that Dustin would not know the president of the Excelsior Group personally. Feeling at ease, he said, “Yes! I owe him a huge favor since he agreed to help the Langley Group!” Dustin laughed and said, “Then, I’ll have to ask him myself if that’s truly the case…” Everyone was shocked. “You know the president of the Excelsior Group? You’re lying!” Christian was the first to mock Dustin. “Who do you think you are? The president of the Excelsior Group is someone of high social status. You can’t possibly know him. You say you want to ask him? You act like you’re so amazing. Your nose grows longer by the second because of your lies!” “Kid, your lie is far too obvious this time. You should be humble instead,” Derek growled. “You lie to make yourself look good, but you

    Devon did not know why the senior members of his family were so wary of the Mortimer family, but he did not have the courage to defy them. “It seems I’ll have to visit the Aquila family myself and ask when I became their subordinate…” Duke Mortimer said coldly. Devon’s face drained of all color. If Duke really went to the Aquila family, he would surely be punished. The Langley family wore odd expressions. The truth was out. Devon was the one who had lied. He claimed credit for what he did not do. If that was the case, who had managed to get Duke to work with David’s family? Margot and the others could not help but look at Dustin. Could it be him? But Dustin was supposed to be a piece of trash that had been thrown out of the Wyatt family. If he had such power, would he have been kicked out? After saying that, Duke hung up. It seemed like he was really going to the Aquila family. Everyone fell silent. An awkward air settled over all of them. “It doesn’t seem lik

    It was not until Devon Aquila had been thrown out of the Langley house for a good while that the Langley family members snapped out of their shock. Their faces turned grim. Devon was the second son of the Aquila family. In Margot’s eyes, he was a genuinely rich son-in-law who could help the Langley family fulfill their dreams of reaching a higher social standing. But Dustin had ruined it all! Margot was furious, but she was also scared of the Hell Guard, so she did not dare be too hostile to Dustin. Instead, she turned her anger on Simone and her family. “Simone, I’m going to ask you this just once. Are you going to marry Devon or not?” she asked loudly. “If you marry him, you’ll still be part of this family and will be treated right. You’ll be seen as someone who brought us great success and will be treated as an important member of the family. “But if you insist on protecting that worthless trash, refuse to consider whether we rise or fall, and insist on getting on the

    “From now on, you will have nothing to do with us. Get out of my sight now!” Margot roared. “The Langley Group also belongs to us. You are to return it all to us!” “Fine!” David said loudly. The Langley Group had been on the verge of bankruptcy, and they were the reason it had started to gather some profit. Since business was good for the company again and the main family wanted it back, they were not going to insist on keeping it. They were going to give it up. “Very well. I’d like to see how your family will survive without the Langley Group!” Margot said in a huff. “We’re able-bodied adults. We won’t starve,” they shot back. The Langley family members were furious and yelled at them to leave. Dustin let out a chuckle. “Why are you laughing, boy?” The Langley family was already seething, and they hated Dustin the most. Their rage burned even more when they glared at him. “I’m laughing at you for being stupid!” Dustin said mockingly. “You might have disowned David an

    This was the third day since Simone and her family had been disowned. They handed over all the documents of the Langley Group to the main Langley family and also completed the transfer procedures. The Langley Group was thus under the main family’s control once more. Derek and Christian happily drove over to the Langley Group in the morning. Margot told them that the Langley Group was to be under their jurisdiction from this point onward. The Langley Group was currently a highly profitable asset. In the past, it was on the verge of bankruptcy, and everyone in the family avoided it. That was why it was given to David in the first place. However, since they had completed their order with the Excelsior Group, the company had started profiting again. It also received a lot of orders and trade deals. It had a great influence compared to other material manufacturing companies in Rivenesco. Derek and Christian did not need to do anything to enjoy the fruits of the company’s profits

    “What did you just say?” “I just got some calls, and all of our collaborators have canceled their orders with us!” Derek’s eyes widened, and he felt increasingly anxious. They had only just taken over, but they were running into such huge problems. The Langley Group had no employees and no orders. How were they supposed to run the company? How could they get any money from it? How were they going to explain themselves to Margot? While they felt lost and anxious, someone called them. “Derek, Christian, what’s going on?” Margot’s enraged voice came through from the other end of the phone. “We don’t know either…” Derek pulled a long face. Who knew that David and Simone had such a strong influence? “Enough talk! Come home now!” Margot said urgently. Derek and Christian did not understand what was going on, so they went back. Once they arrived in the living room, they found that everyone had a sour look on their faces. “Tell them.” Margot sighed. “Numerous Serpen

    Another two days passed. The atmosphere in the Langley family’s main villa was grim. The core family members gathered together, but they were all silent. The Langley family’s situation grew more dreadful day after day. Every single day, they suffered great losses. No one could remain calm anymore. Even the obstinate Margot felt shaken. Today, they had gathered together to come up with a solution. But most of them were silent right from the start. Finally, someone spoke to break the silence. “Grandma, should we ask David and his family to come back?” Christian asked tentatively. Margot’s face darkened. She had disowned David and his family. It had only been a few days since. If she called them back, she would be eating her own words. Her reputation and pride would suffer a blow, and she would be stuck in a morbid conundrum. But was there a better plan? Margot mulled over this for a while before she looked at Derek and Christian. “Why don’t you go and visit David

    Irene had assumed that Dustin would be like the other men. She thought he was only standing up for her because he was drawn by her beauty. She also assumed that he would get beaten up like the others. But she was wrong. Dustin had not intervened because he was drawn to her. He had killed Trevor. For a moment, everyone in the jazz club was stumped. No one dared to offend Trevor, who was the third son of the Aquila family of Lannopolis. Yet, Dustin had killed him in just one strike. He was unimaginably brash! Ignoring the shock of those around him, Dustin turned and walked toward the jazz club’s exit. He did not even spare Irene a glance. “Hold it right there!” “Do you think you can just leave after killing Trevor?” Trevor’s underlings could not just stand by and watch as Dustin left. They moved forward to stop him. Dustin did not waste his breath. His gaze turned sharp as he made a small movement. The person who had dared to stop him was dead. After that,

    “What kind of disgraceful behavior is this, Irene?” the man asked with a frown. “Don’t forget that you will be a member of the Aquila family soon. How dare you act this way?” Irene looked at the man indifferently. Hatred flashed in her eyes for a second before it disappeared. “Oh, give up, Trevor Aquila. I will never marry you. I will never become a member of the Aquila family!” she hissed icily. “Your marriage is arranged by your family. With the way things are with the West family, do you really think you can refuse this arrangement? It’s better that you behave and come with me to the Aquila family and wait quietly for the wedding,” Trevor said with an icy smile. Irene’s pretty face grew livid with anger. “Get lost!” she shouted. Trevor was enraged by her words. “You want to do this the hard way, huh? Alright then. Drag her back home!” he ordered. “Do you think you can drag a woman away against her will in public?” One of the men in the bar immediately stepped forwa

    The Aquila family was one of the most powerful families of Lannopolis. At this moment, Brennan Aquila, the patriarch of the Aquila family was frowning and sitting in his usual seat. “Is there no news?” he asked the servant before him. “Sir, we’ve searched the entirety of Rivenesco, but we couldn’t locate Devon. We’ve also inquired with the Panther Gang and checked the Langley family’s main villa in Rivenesco, but we found nothing,” the servant said. When he heard that, Brennan looked even more troubled. His second son, Devon, had taken along some people from the Panther Gang to Rivenesco a few days ago. He had wanted to seek revenge but had then disappeared. “Investigate more! Use more drastic measures if you need to!” he shouted. “There’s no need to investigate any further,” said a woman’s voice from beyond the room. A beautiful, elegant young woman walked into the Aquila family’s living room. “Who are you?” Brennan asked. “Bianca Winter of the Seven Clans of

    “This is entirely the Langley family’s fault that we underestimated you! We were prideful and blind…” Margot said solemnly. “Please forgive us, My Liege!” At this point, Margot could do nothing but admit her mistakes. With a word, the King of Hades could wipe the Langley family from the face of the earth without so much as a noise. Dustin did not bother to respond. “Fine. Invite Simone and her family here immediately. I think you know what to do now, right?” he said coldly. “Yes, I do. I won’t let you down, My Liege!” Margot said quickly. She sent someone to invite Simone and her family here. Soon, Simone’s family arrived in the living room. They looked a little stunned. By that time, the members of the Panther Gang were all gone and the place had been cleaned up. It was as if nothing had happened here. “What happened to you?” Simone looked confused. She saw how strangely the members of the Langley family were behaving. “Uncle Derek, why are you trembling?” She

    “The Panther Gang will serve the King of Hades!” Blake declared loudly as he knelt on the floor. The members of the Langley family and those of the Panther Gang stared in shock. A minute ago, Blake seemed very intimidating and intent on seeking justice. They were taken aback by his abrupt change in attitude. “The King of Hades… The master of Hell Hall! The King of Hades!” Margot gasped so hard she nearly fainted. The members of the Langley family were so terrified that their faces turned ghostly pale. There was no one on earth who did not fear the might of Hell Hall. Some of the people in the living room were shaking in fright. In the past, they all thought that Dustin was a nobody, so they treated him like trash. When they thought about how their family had tried to kill the King of Hades, the members of the Langley family felt horrified. Dustin glanced at the man kneeling on the floor, and his face looked taunting. “Your sister is the wife of the head of the A

    Dustin had not said anything about the numerous Panther Gang corpses on the floor. No one had dared to clear them away. In the middle of all the mess was Devon’s headless body. When Blake recognized the corpse, his eyes widened in fury. He looked at Dustin without bothering to hide his desire for revenge. “Who are you? Where did you come from? Are you with the law or something else?” Blake did not make a move immediately. Instead, he demanded answers from Dustin. When he received the report from one of his branch leaders, he realized that Dustin was not someone to be messed with. That was why he was questioning Dustin first. Dustin looked at Blake, and his gaze froze the gang leader in place. “Back in the day, the Aquila family only started growing after participating in a campaign to destroy the Fox family of Grayvale. Did the Panther Gang have a hand in that campaign?” Dustin asked. His gaze was focused on Blake. If he admitted his involvement, he would be dead. “T

    The three branch leaders of the Panther Gang were stony-faced. One of them said coldly, “Arrogant punk!” Dustin had cut off Devon’s head and was demanding Blake Torell, Blake, to come here to see him. None of them had ever encountered anyone who was so brazen in Rivenesco. “We won’t dare to return to the head of our gang without your head as a trophy!” The branch leaders were aggressive while their crowd of gang members outside were preparing to rush in. Dustin looked annoyed as he waved a hand. One of the Hell Guards made his move. He was like a shadow as he shot through the door. Thereafter, the two leaders’ eyes widened in horror. Blood gushed from their throats as they fell. The remaining branch leader was shaken. She shuddered. Dustin’s subordinate had killed them as easily as breathing. The members of the Panther Gang who had been preparing to rush inside froze. They stood outside motionless. The members of the Langley family were shocked. The branch leader

    The might of the Panther Gang was unquestionable. They were not a small gang made up of scattered, ragtag individuals. They were a group of true, formidable forces of the underground in Honora! When did the members of the Panther Gang become so weak? “You… Where do these underlings of yours come from?” Devon said with gritted teeth as he stared at the Hell Guards with his mouth wide open. “Just a few lackeys I trained,” Dustin said flatly. “Anyway, what were you saying just a moment ago? You’re the nephew of the head of the Panther Gang? Why don’t you call everyone here? Get them in here all at once. Makes it easier to kill them in one go.” Devon was stunned. His entire army was being undermined. “Don’t get cocky! These are only the Panther Gang’s weakest members. There are more than a hundred people outside. No matter how powerful your people are, do you think they can beat a hundred men?” Devon asked viciously. “Hmph! Back in the day, the Aquila family even dared t

    The Langley family thought that the police had arrived. One of them immediately got up to welcome them. Dustin did not make his Hell Guards stop that person. “Mr. Aquila!” When the person appeared at the doorway, he let out a shocked cry. The person who had come to the villa was not the police. It was the person that Dustin had almost beaten to death a few days ago. It was Devon Aquila. With his men, Devon stormed into the villa in fury. A few days ago, Devon had suffered greatly here. Not only had he failed to meet Simone but also had one of his arms broken in this place. As the second son of the prominent Aquila family, how could he just let that insult slide? After recuperating for a few days, he took his men to Rivenesco despite still being far from full recovery. When he got a lead on Dustin, he immediately rushed to the Langley family’s main villa. “Mr. Aquila, you got here right on time!” Margot looked overjoyed when she saw Devon here with so many people. “
