"Now, are you ready to hear my terms?" Kyle asked calmly continuing their negotiation as if nothing had happened.John trembled. "Anything you say Mr. Michel. Anything.""Not three hundred billion, not three billion. I will pay you three bucks, in exchange, you will let Joey Clemon leave with me and clear all his debts."Despite his fear, John was outraged. "No way!" There was no way he will just let Joey go without getting his money. If he did, he will be at a very great loss.Kyle raised his foot and brought it crashing down onto John's left knee with a loud crunch."Ahhhh!" John screamed in agony."Just so we are clear, I am not seeking your approval in this matter. I am ordering you to release him." Kyle voiced.As he was speaking, he broke John's other leg in a similar fashion.Despite having both legs broken, John the influential figure in the underground circle in Eagles land did not get to where he was by succumbing easily to threats. Instead, he attempted one last act of defi
Twenty four hours later after the grim encounter in Eagles Land, Kyle and the rest appeared in Nathan's ward as he was just finishing his dinner."We found out about how all these was orchestrated." Kyle spoke up after checking up on him.Although Nathan was all better, the burns has still left some scars and wounds that needs to be treated. Nathan had expected Kyle to get all the news so he wasn't the least shocked when he heard him. But he just frown and asked. "Who is behind all this?""It's complicated. But your uncle and Christopher have just been puppets in it. They play vital roles than those behind it all together though. The Despite Group had sent a man called Derrick Hem to deal with you. But as he knew that it will be difficult to get to you, Joey was used in a ploy to get his dad to act against you whiles Mr. Richards also used Christopher after catching in on his secret of murdering his assistant to get to Hilda." Nathan's anger flared up at the news. It was the Despite
Derrick also reciprocated the smile but then suddenly, Mr. Richard's face contorted into that of rage. "The plan was to get him to you. To conspire against fate and get him in his most vulnerable state so as to kill him yourself. You had everything all planned out at that moment and forced my hand into it, so what happened? I did everything you asked and you failed in your part. Now Kyle and the others are suspecting me.""And with how efficient they are, we would have to end up assassinating them all before we would know peace. Here you are asking me to finish what you couldn't."Looking absolutely livid, Derrick reached out for an handkerchief out of his shirt pocket. He held onto it as he played with it.One of his bodyguards spoke up. "Master, we have a coward here on our hands. Let's just get rid of him and his son. We've wasted enough time trying to get him to do this."Another bodyguard nodded in agreement. "That's right master. I can just strike him dead with one blow in a sec
"Who's there?" He roared at the direction of the approaching footsteps.Derrick and the others followed his gaze into the darkness. To their shock, a tall, well built man with eyes that glowed out in the darkness like burning coals led four other men as they came into vison at a languid pace.Christopher, Mr. Richard and his son cowered in equal parts of fear and relief at the arrival of Nathan. "N.. Nathan..." They all stuttered.Nathan was initially furious with Christopher the most. However, upon learning that Chris had refused to betray him yet again earlier, he found his anger giving way to disappointment at the sight of him staring at him with a gaze of regret.Nathan stepped forth and scanned around before his gaze fell on Derrick."So, it was you who have been pulling the strings in the dark?" He asked calmly.Derrick did not expect Nathan to arrive at Eagles Land and for him for that matter.As shocked as he was, Derrick quickly regained his composure.Upon returning to his s
Derrick gazed at Nathan in alarm. Though he was well aware of Nathan's battle prowess, he did not expect the five exceptional fighters who had been with him since the old days of the war to fall as easily as they just did in Nathan's hand.Nathan glared back at him. "Are you going to do it? Or shall I?"Derrick took off his jacket and tossed it aside. "I have been enlisted as early as I was legally allowed to. I was a part of the Marine Corps, and I was trained at a Military Academy. Through out the years of war, I have had my fair share of worth opponents. Whether or not I survive this fight, I will not be surrendering. I know that I am no match for you Mr. Clemon, but I will fight you until my last breath."Nathan lifted his head. "Come on then and stop blabbing. I have other's to attend to."Boom!Derrick leaped forward with a force similar to that of a cannon ball, leaving behind cracks in the concrete floor where his feet had been.Upon closing in on his target, he raised a fist.
With a sigh, Samuel walked up to Christopher and said. "You have gone too far this time Chris. We are all equally disappointed. Why didn't you confide in us? Was it so hard to admit to a homicide now?"He just shook his head when Chris didn't respond.Nathan then turned his attention to his uncle and cousin. "As for you, I have been waiting greatly for the day I will make you pay for all the things you have been doing behind my back.""What are you talking about? I was forced here. I'm even grateful to you for appearing at the right time. As I didn't know what would have happened."Nathan couldn't believe his ears. What did he mean by he is grateful for him showing up? Mr. Richard proceeded to add. "If you hadn't appeared now, they were going to hold me here for not helping them assassinate you. Although you and I have our differences, they is no way I will assassinate my own nephew. How would that make me?"Seeing that his dad was trying to keep them alive, Joey also added. "Yes Nat
Soon, news of Derrick reached the Despite Group of Company's headquarters.Hanova Despite had just finished meeting with the military big shots from country Y. After he had sent them away respectfully, his expression turned grim.He returned to the living room. His two trusted aides, the Lonely Reaper and Bran Sword were waiting for him.Despite sat down in annoyance. He lifted a glass of water from the table and took a sip. Suppressing his fury, he asked sternly. "What bad news did you receive from Derrick?"The burly Lonely Reaper exchanged a look with Bran Sword who had two swords strapped to his back.When Bran Sword saw that the Lonely Reaper was unwilling to speak up, he spoke up. "Mr. Despite, updates from Eagles Land said that Derrick's army has been killed by Nathan."What?A look of fury appeared on Hanova's face.Steeling himself, Bran Sword continued, "Also, Nathan has a message for you."Despite asked grimly. "What did he say?"Bran Sword replied. "Nathan said if you don'
Suddenly realizing what was going on, Samuel became furious at Hanova's actions.Nathan picked up the remote control and switched off the television.Kyle then spoke up. "Ignore all this Nate. He is trying to provoke you on purpose. In my opinion, he is just a loser who is provoking you futilely after failing to compete with you.""Yeah Nate." Samuel added.Not long after, Kyle bid his goodbyes and left as he had to attend to other things. Leaving behind Samuel and Nate.Since Samuel also had patients to attend to, he also didn't stay for long and left Nathan to continue with his work too.Nathan went through all the documents and even had a video call conference with his subordinates at the Clemon group and gave out some instructions to them.Oblivious to Nathan, Hilda's treatment facility had been infiltrated by Hanova's men, Lonely Reaper and Bran Sword.Neither of them were dumb. The men whom Hanova had sent to assassinate Nathan had all been defeated by Nathan although he suffere
Three months later, the five generations of the huge family were gathered happily together in Nathan's Villa of the Imperial. Old Master Clemon, who was still alive and kicking, held in his arms junior Klaus with a broad smile on his face, while Zis was also all smiles as he held the other junior Klaus. Nathan was staring at Klaus hostilely. "Mr. Klaus, pardon me, but I'll make sure to cut you up into pieces if you get any closer to my daughter!" He held a chilly gaze while asserting his presence. All of a sudden, there was a fierceness about him. However, Klaus only gave him a smirk. "Haha, I don't think you have any say in this, Mr. Clemon." On the contrary, Connie seemed to side with Klaus, as she began chiding Nathan. "You should keep your mouth shut! The kids know what they're doing!" Although Nathan seemed to have backed down, he was still glaring at Klaus. Without warning, Zis, who was the eldest of the in laws, put on a stern look on his face while lecturing Connie, "M
Just like that? Why does she sound so nonchalant about it? My daughter was only six years old when she slept with a twenty year old guy! As her mother, shouldn't she have stopped her? "Times have changed. Besides, the kids are all grown up now, so isn't it normal to have desires? Don't you worry, as I gave her detailed guidance beforehand, as well as showed her educational videos to teach her more about sex." Hilda explained. Nathan's face blanched, wanting to just faint once more. However, Hilda went on. "Linux even developed a condom that helps relieve the pain, as well as increase the pleasure one experiences during sexual intercourse. It will also alert the users if it detects a virus. Besides, Klaus did a checkup beforehand to ensure that he was clean." "I also told him to be careful so as to not hurt Luna before I agreed to let them have sex." There was a livid expression on Nathan's already pale face. Has the world undergone so much transformation during the past ten year
Justin stood in a corner in abjection before suddenly laughing in a self deprecating manner. He turned around to look for Anne, only to find her still actively trying to approach Luna in an attempt to strike up a conversation with her. Never in her wildest dreams had she expected the girl to be Luna Clemon, the daughter of a security guard whom she despised. After Klaus entered the venue, he didn't even spare a glance at the other ladies present for the occasion, save for Luna, the girl who was the center of attention. As the main protagonist who made her appearance after everybody else, the ball began after Luna showed up. She led the first dance with Giry, who moved in a coquettish manner throughout the entire dance due to how elated he was. After the first dance, some of the guests left the floor to get some rest, while others continued dancing after switching partners. Giry was forced to let go of Luna after that and wait for the next dance on the sidelines as he shouldn't be
There were a lot of prestigious people present for the occasion, including male guests who were members of royal families. Klaus Adams, whom Justin didn't manage to meet, would also be there, so he could seize the opportunity to connect to people of status. Luna won't be able to provide me with such an opportunity. He took a sip out of his wine to forget the feelings of bitterness within him while he admitted his defeat. I don't belong to Luna, nor is the opposite possible, as we belong to two different worlds. All of a sudden, there was a commotion in the hall as the hosts from Smith Group showed up. Jerome Bowen and Connie Frimpong were the ones to show up first, whereas Hilda Adams and Linux Jordan followed behind. They're here! The crowd moved in their direction with anticipation in their minds. The main protagonist will be here soon! The girl who has a net worth of hundreds of billions, as well as being the heir of prestigious families including the Damien Family, the Clemon
Anne also received an invitation to attend the ladies' ball, which was something that someone at the bottom of the social pyramid would never get to know and join in on, they practically lived in two different worlds. It wasn't until then that he knew how different they were. While Justin would never eat street food with Luna, her current boyfriend was willing to do so. Gritting his teeth, Justin left without a word, as if having made a decision. This time, he was finally able to leave her behind, even if they met each other again in the future, he would treat her like a stranger. There was a time when he used to want to spend his life with Luna, as he never met someone as intelligent and kind as her. Even if she was no better than other people, she was at least better than Anne in both regards. However, they could never get together. His family would never agree to the match due to the fact that Luna couldn't help his family climb the social ladder like how Anne could. It wasn't
A month later, the military training ended with Giry having bruises all over his face. On the other hand, both Luna and Klaus had a tan when they returned. They had also gotten to the stage of holding hands all the time with each other. As usual, Connie maintained her deathly glare when she met Klaus. She had arranged a group of people to join the military training, hoping that they could teach Klaus a lesson, but all of them wound up being intimidated by him. Geez! That bunch of cowards! Even Connie herself was beginning to acknowledge that she no longer stood a chance against Klaus by now, say less of anybody else. She was getting older, so it was time to hand things over to the next generation. Now, Klaus was the young, determined, and ambitious one, whereas Connie had aged, so she was no longer the former's opponent. Therefore, she could only watch as Klaus dated her granddaughter. After the military training, Luna's eighteenth birthday was approaching fast, which would mark
Jumping with joy, Luna latched herself to Yaa. "Marie! When did you arrive?" Yaa warmed up to Luna upon seeing the latter. "We'll be welcoming the freshers today. They seem to be a little disobedient! How dare a bunch of newbies be so arrogant?" The girls walked away while they chatted, but Yaa didn't speak with Klaus when they saw each other, as they both considered it sufficient as a greeting when they exchanged looks earlier. Therefore, Klaus pushed his bike while walking beside the girls as they spoke, all the while mentally exclaiming on how Yaa had bloomed into her true self by staying with the Cannons, that was where she truly belonged. Yaa was feared among the freshers. Furthermore, Justin Clark had his name called out directly by her earlier, so he almost burst into tears out of his intense fear for her. At that moment, Adwoa appeared out of nowhere to scare him. "Aha! You're done for! The general called for you! Justin, you should be prepared! The following month will b
The moment Connie's words were heard, Luna's reaction was the most intense. "Grandma, what do you mean by that? Why are you talking about him being worthy or otherwise? We're just friends!" Although we... we kissed the other time, neither of us ever brought that day up again. Therefore, they were still at the beautiful stage where things were fuzzy. Hence, Connie's proclamation burst the bubble, making the situation exceedingly awkward. Klaus, who was eating, stilled for a moment, but he said nothing. Upon seeing this, Connie was in seventh heaven. Finally, I've found his Achilles heel! Putting on her authoritative air as an elder, she loftily asserted, "My granddaughter will never marry a man who doesn't even have a high school diploma." All at once, the atmosphere turned awkward, and Luna's face flushed bright red from mortification. At this time, Hilda hurriedly smoothed things over, exclaiming, "What are you saying, mom? What's this about marrying and all?" She should at last l
The old son in law was indeed zealous, for he brought back gifts for everyone, including Jerome, Connie, and Luna's uncles. Despite Connie's staring match with Klaus earlier, she hugged her gift to her chest, reluctant to put it down for even a second. Klaus's gift to her was a handwritten score from her favorite pianist back when she was young, so she truly loved it. Meanwhile, Adwoa got a set of Western European non mainstream fashionable clothes, and she seemed besotted as well. Klaus even had gifts for Luna's friends, including Giry, Dean, and the others. He distributed the gifts one by one. At the end of it, he took out a tiny gift and waved a beckoning hand toward the back of the house. "Kater!" Woof! A husky scampered out in a mad flurry. Then, Klaus unwrapped the gift to reveal an adorable ball. Gratified, Kater left with it in its mouth. "Tangerine! Orange! Lemon! Gordon! Goldstein!" Upon hearing their names, the few orange cats padded over, meowing all the way. Klaus
