The old fox suddenly changed his attitude and seemed very cold, completely different from how kind and loving he had been to William a moment ago. However, Javier did not seem to be fazed in the slightest. “I already knew what you were thinking about the moment you had Kenzo take over. Frankly, I was indeed planning on having those 3,000 men come to this island. However, I’m not afraid of William. I’m preparing myself to fight Uncle Arthur just in case. “He’s too good at hiding his true intentions. Marjorie and Sigmund are with me right now, and I can very well guess everything that’s happened. His ability to endure this humiliation and raise someone else’s child for more than 10 years is enough to make him a man dangerous enough that I need to be careful.“I can leave behind wanting to be the family head or having an even more powerful position, as it’s still the same job and authority no matter what you call it. However, I can’t leave my grandfather behind. I could refrain from
Thanks to that event, everyone that night was smiling with glee. Each one of them could guarantee that that was the most memorable night in their lives.Just the 80,000 dollars worth of missiles were enough for them to witness a spectacular, beautiful view, yet a terrifying one at the same time.‘How much money could Javier possibly have to be able to spend 80,000 dollars on a whim?!’Luca then recalled how he had scorned Javier when they had first met. He was now being haunted by the way he had called Javier’s G63 a piece of trash.At the time, he had thought that he was awesome enough because he could drive a Ferrari. However, on that very night, more than 10 Ferraris had been launched into the sky.‘Javier and I really are in completely different leagues…‘I use my money to buy luxurious cars to show off, while Javier…spends his money to launch missiles as fireworks.‘The difference between us is…Sigh…There’s just no contest.’After a joyous night, the crowd dispersed and
When everything was over, Javier, who felt very refreshed, brought Jade and Ciara with him as they gathered with the others in the living room.After having breakfast, the group went to visit Zephiel.After all, Zephiel was the eldest person on the island, so it was only certain that they should do so.However, what they had not expected was that Zephiel would have envelopes with him. “Here’s a little something for each of you. Here’s hoping that you all lead lucky and prosperous lives.”Zephiel was smiling away as he spoke to everyone. Meanwhile, his butler distributed the envelopes.Luca took Zephiel’s “a little something” literally when he felt that the envelope was very thin. He then rubbed the envelope and could tell that it was just a single piece of paper. On top of that, he was very sure that it was not a cheque because cheques had specific dimensions. ‘This envelope was so small that a cheque would have to be folded once in order to fit inside. Fortunately, Luca did
When Jade scanned her QR code, Ciara hurriedly leaned over to have a look. When they saw the same amount received, Ciara exclaimed in surprise, “Grandpa has every reason to give me 10 dollars, but why would you receive the same amount?”This caused Jade to feel slightly surprised as well. Initially, she had been worried that it would be inappropriate for the others to see the amount she had received.However, now that she realized that it was only 10 dollars, she felt very confused. ‘Both Ciara and I received 10 dollars each…Is it because we’re close to him?’Immediately, Jade and Ciara targeted Javier’s envelope and snatched it from his pocket.After they scanned it… ‘What the f*ck?!‘He also received 10 dollars! So it really is true. It’s because we’re close to him!’Ciara felt depressed. “Grandpa has always been very generous every year, so why would he only give me 10 dollars this year? Seriously?!”Javier chuckled and said, “There’s a deeper meaning behind this…He wan
Javier and the others were getting ready to head back after bidding Zephiel farewell. Before leaving, Javier asked Zephiel again, "I don't suppose you're going to tell me about the message left sitting under the little gold figure?" Zephiel chuckled and shook his head. "Not a chance. Don't even think about it!" Javier was about to leave when Zephiel added, "You might have had a chance if you hadn't tricked me the last time around, but since you did...oh well…Hehe!" Javier turned around and said, "Save it, old fox. Do you seriously want me to feel remorse? Not a chance! Don't even think about it!" He was well aware of the old fox's tricks, as he had been hoodwinked by the latter when he was still a child. There would not have been so many smart people in the world otherwise, and he had only become smart because he had been duped so much. Javier saw Mary coming over as soon as he left Zephiel. "I couldn’t find you anywhere, Mary, and you wouldn't even answer the phone. We
Javier could not wrap his head around it. How could Terry be there if he was supposed to be in prison? Had he escaped? Ingrid answered Javier when he turned to look at her. "I told you a few days ago that someone was peeping downstairs. That person was him. He broke in on New Year's Eve and had a knife with him, so I tied him up and threw him here. "I already got all the necessary information from him in the past few days. Any suggestions on how to deal with this?" Javier did not suggest anything. He had to know Terry's purpose for coming there and why Terry would bring a knife with him to break in. Ingrid said, "He claims that William helped him get out of prison. Compassionate release. He was ordered to cut Jade's face, and the payout for that would be one million." Terry might have claimed that, but what he knew was not necessarily accurate, was it? When Ingrid asked Javier for suggestions on how to deal with Terr
The breathalyzer did not pick up any traces of alcohol. The traffic police asked about other relevant information and told Javier, "It's pretty clear from the details of this accident that you're entirely responsible for it. This lady is not at fault. You should head over to the insurance company and settle this privately!" The fat woman put her hands on her waist and said proudly. "Serves you right for going all mental and hitting my car!" The traffic policeman glanced at the fat woman and shook his head helplessly. A person's poor character was none of their concern. They were responsible only for handling the accident. Javier sniggered. He neither looked at the fat woman nor bothered to argue with her. All he did was say to the traffic police, "I object to the way you enforce the law and I refuse to settle this in private." The traffic policeman was stunned. He felt that he had done his job so well that there could not possibly be grounds for an objection. He even trie
Javier wanted to buy a car, but it was probably one of the worst days to do so. It was only the fifth day of the new year and many places were still closed. After realizing the place did not have cars, he brought Ciel to the state capital as a sort of road trip while going there to buy a car. They enjoyed themselves in the state capital for three days, until all the stores finally opened on the eighth day of the new year. Ciel was glowing after recharging for three days, and Javier visited almost all the sales outlets that were open. Since he convinced Ciel to accept his gift, she eventually settled on a Mercedes-Benz GLK300. The car was not big. It was 4.5 meters long, so it was almost classified as a compact SUV. It was smaller than the domestic SUV, which was 4.67 meters long, but that size was perfect for Ciel. Javier thought that it was the perfect car for her in light of her petite stature. Her temperament matched that car perfectly. Javier managed to buy a car
