"You want me to drink alcohol?" Hayes asked, thinking he must have misheard. With his current health conditions, every doctor had advised him to quit drinking, so he had stopped long ago.Now, Myles was not only telling him to drink but also to smoke. Surely, this had to be a joke."Yes, just one glass of liquor and one cigarette," Myles confirmed.Jane immediately stood up, glaring at Myles with anger. "Myles, is it? I don't think you have good intentions. My grandfather's health is already in such a state. How can you ask him to drink?"And on top of that, you want him to smoke? What are you trying to do?"Ignoring her, Myles turned to Hayes and said, "If you trust me, then do as I say. If you don't, just pretend I never said anything.""I trust you!" Hayes downed the glass in one gulp."Grandpa! The doctors told you not to drink—have you forgotten?" Jane was frantic, trying to stop him but unable to."I believe this young man wouldn't harm me," Hayes said while lighting up t
"You have a weak stomach. It's better not to drink. If there's nothing else you need, please leave," Myles said with a sigh. He still could not bring himself to be harsh with Luna.During the darkest times of his life, Luna was the one who had stood by him through those difficult years.Relieved, Luna hurriedly left the private room, almost fleeing. Parker and the others followed, only relaxing once they were outside."How could Myles, that foo—guy, be sitting with Mr. Goldberg and Mr. Castillo?" Ingrid wondered aloud. She had initially wanted to call Myles a fool, but seeing him with Colton and Hayes had scared her into changing her tone.The group then exchanged confused glances.None of them understood why Myles was with those two influential figures. They had clearly seen how both Colton and Hayes not only sat with Myles but also seemed to treat him with a great deal of respect."Do you think Myles might have some incredible hidden identity?" Ingrid speculated. She felt a pan
Myles chuckled, but it was a cold, mocking laugh. "Very well, you've succeeded in angering me.""Angry, huh?" Hunter taunted with a sneer. "Well, you'd better suck it up!"Myles smirked, saying, "I'll give you a chance. Get on your knees and lick up the spit you just spat."Everyone around them tensed up immediately, holding their breath. Hunter was known to be a ticking time bomb, and Myles speaking to him like that was practically a death wish.As expected, Hunter's expression darkened instantly. An intense air of aggression radiated from him."You little punk, what did you just say?" Hunter growled.Myles replied coldly, "Since you're deaf, I'll say it again. Listen closely. Get on your knees and lick up the filth you spat out.""You're dead meat!" Hunter roared while clenching his fists. He was ready to strike."What's going on here?" Catalina suddenly appeared in the hall.Hunter immediately unclenched his fists and flashed a grin at Catalina. "Ms. Schmidt, this newbie he
"Al, get in there!" Christopher ordered, not bothering to wait for Catalina's response before sending his man to fight.Most people would not dare to cross Divine King Group, but the Apex Commerce Association was not one of them. Plus, they were even bolder since the Divine King was not present.Catalina was angry at this but felt helpless. Fortunately, she still had Hunter by her side, and she had a lot of confidence in his abilities.Just as Catalina was about to ask Hunter to step in, Hunter said, "Ms. Schmidt, you'd better not count on me right now. I took two slaps, and my head is still spinning. I think I need to visit the hospital first. Let's talk when I'm better."Catalina immediately understood Hunter's intentions and said, "Hunter, if you fight and win, you can do whatever you want to Myles as long as you don't kill him."'Myles, I'm sorry. For the sake of the company, I have to sacrifice you. I'll find a way to make it up to you later,' Catalina thought to herself.Hu
Al flashed a sinister smile as he raised his arm to block Myles' hand. However, what he had not expected was that Myles' seemingly casual slap carried an unbelievably terrifying force. Al could not withstand Myles' attack. He did not even manage to soften the blow.The crisp sound of the slap echoed throughout the room, and Al was instantly sent flying. He crashed into a chair with a loud thud, shattering it to pieces."What the—"Everyone's eyes widened in shock. They were stunned by the scene unfolding before them. Hunter was already strong enough, but he was powerless against Al, which showed just how terrifying Al's strength was.Yet, the supposedly fearsome Al had been slapped across the room by Myles. It was something that seemed utterly impossible.Still, Al climbed back up, his eyes filled with fury and murderous intent as he glared at Myles."Kid, I really underestimated you. I let my guard down, and you caught me by surprise!"The crowd suddenly understood. It made s
Al clutched his bleeding wrist in a panic, desperately trying to stand. However, Myles planted a foot on his shoulder, pressing him down with immense force."Let me go! I need to get to the hospital," Al demanded. He was both frightened and furious as his blood was flowing out uncontrollably.He knew that if he did not get medical help soon, he could bleed to death."Your memory seems bad—you still haven't cleaned my shoe," Myles reminded him calmly.Al seethed with anger, but feeling his strength ebb away, he quickly caved and licked Myles' shoe.He immediately gagged, and the sight made everyone else in the room feel queasy.Only then did Myles remove his foot. He never bullied the weak, but that did not mean he was without a temper.Catalina, brimming with excitement, turned to Christopher and said, "Mr. Alaister, I apologize for his rough handling of your man. You should take him to the hospital immediately; we'll cover all medical expenses."Christopher's expression darken
Now in a fresh pair of shoes, Myles also appeared at the venue, though he remained in a corner. He sensed that today's investment conference might not go smoothly and suspected his enemies would try to stir up trouble.However, he was not worried. In fact, he seemed eager for it.The conference was set to start at 10:00 am, but people had already started arriving by 8:00 am. The entrance of the group was packed, with reporters swarming around, all vying to capture the grand event.However, only a select few were actually allowed inside.Luna and her family were also among the crowd, anxiously waiting for Parker to arrive."Mr. Quill, over here!" Luna waved as soon as she spotted Parker from afar."Sorry to keep you waiting, but I've brought some good news," Parker said with a smile."What good news?" Luna asked curiously.Parker replied, "You've heard about the new medicine developed by Divine King Group called Gramen Pills, right?"Luna nodded. "I've heard about it, but didn'
"This guy must be joking, claiming to be the Divine King. What nonsense!""Exactly, pretending to be the Divine King? That's unforgivable. This guy must have a death wish!"The crowd mocked Myles openly."Shut up! The Divine King is my ultimate idol, and you think you can impersonate him? This is pure disrespect!" Luna was furious, her disappointment with Myles reaching its peak.Scamming people was one thing, but now, he was desecrating her idol. That was simply unforgivable."I'm not pretending. What I said is true—I really am the Divine King!" Myles insisted."Enough, just shut up! Myles, I never thought you'd become like this. How long has it been since our divorce? Now, you're not only lying but also pretending to be the Divine King. Haven't you thought about the consequences of your actions?" Luna snapped."I'm not pretending. I really am the Divine King. As for lying and cheating, what are you even talking about?" Myles asked, clearly confused.Parker sneered, "Still act
