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
The female doctor who looks to be in her fifties smiled and said. "The patient is lucky. The bullet almost struck a critical spot. But we have already removed the bullet. So her life is not in danger any more. She just needs to recover slowly."When the rest heard that, they heaved a sigh of relief.At this moment, Nathan's Army also arrived. They rushed to greet Nathan in the hospital.Stanley who led them in reported solemnly. "Boss, we discovered where Mrs. Clemon is headed."Nathan's heart lurched as he asked Stanley. "Where are they taking my wife?"Stanley replied. "The kidnappers are professionals and had come prepared. After abducting Mrs. Clemon, someone recieved them and they escaped to country Y embassy. Within an hour, they boarded a plane and left the embassy for contry Y. They are on their way to country Y now.Gasper was shocked. "But why would the authorities of country Y want to kidnap Mrs. Clemon?"Nathan replied slowly. "It's probably not committed by the authoritie
After an hour of flying, the lights in the plane were suddenly turned on, interrupting everyone's rest.Gasper walked over and whispered to Nathan. "Nathan, Despite is calling you."Smirking coldly, Nathan instructed. "Accept the call. Let's see what tricks he has under his sleeves."Gasper accepted the call and passed the phone to Nathan.Nathan spoke up. "Hello?"Hanova's gloating voice sounded from the phone. "Hahaha! Hello Mr. Clemon. I'm sure that you are worried sick about your wife right?"Nathan demanded coldly. "Did you send someone to kidnap my wife?"Grinning, Hanova responded. "You can't say that we kidnapped her. Your wife's father, Mr. Dam Sanchez misses his daughter a lot. So I decided to fetch Mrs. Clemon over for them to meet. Oh, right. Mr. Sanchez misses not only his dear daughter but also his son in law. He hopes that Mr. Clemon can come to country Y. I'm sure you won't refuse right?"Nathan was shocked about what he had just heard. He figured Hanova was getting on
The Despite Group Company could be considered as an independent turf on it's own. Its borders were surrounded by high walls with security guards standing at the patrolling posts.High rise buildings stood within the walls, looking like a closed off world.Nathan, Samuel and the rest had managed to get their hands on the Despite Group Company's floor plan and how the security posts were distributed. If they entered through the front door, they would alert the security unnecessarily.Hence, Nathan and the rest went to an off site gate that was meant for transporting daily trash and product waste out of the place.There were a few security guards there but the security was not as strict as the main door.At that moment, the security guards were smoking and drinking beer in the security room. There were fried chicken, hamburgers and poker cards strewn across the table.They were happily drinking when they saw a burly man appear in front of them. For a moment, they were stunned.Before the
Bel Plas looked at the remainder of his right arm and his face was filled with agony. He looked so terrified and was about to let out a cry when Samuel fired another shot swiftly.Bang!The second shot smashed Bel Plas's brain to bits. When his subordinates saw the horrifying death of their leader, they well all shell shocked.It took them a while before they regained their senses. Some of them were so furious that they raised their guns while others screamed and ran for their lives.However, Samuel and his team of elites kept firing their sniper rifle.Bang! Bang! Bang!Those who wanted to shoot Nathan were the first to die. As for the rest of them, they were unable to run far before they were all hit by the bullet's too.In the chairman's office, Hanova was sitting in his exquisite chair while Hilda sat in her wheel chair in fear. They could both hear the faint sounds of gun shots.Hanova was stunned!He pressed a button on the phone and asked. "Security Department, what's going on
Crash!Hanova smashed the cup on the floor as he shouted furiously at Ian Brooks. "Gather all the subordinates and use the human wave attack. Destroy them no matter how heavy the price is!"Ian Brooks froze on the spot, his gaze filled with hesitation.Hanova glared at him wrathfully. "Ian Brooks, are you trying to disobey my command?"Being in a dilemma, Ian Brooks advised. "We have already suffered great losses. Everyone knows that Nathan's men are sharp shooters. I'm afraid that no one would dare to risk their lives to go to the frontlines...."Hanova opened up his drawer and drew out a Desert Eagle. Then he pointed it right at Ian Brooks's bald head. "If your subordinates don't dare to go first, you should be the one leading them!"Ian Brooks widened his eyes and looked at Hanova in shock and disbelief.At that moment, Hanova's eyes were filled with hostility. He looked like a wild beast on the loose.Ian Brooks knew his head would be blown off if he dared to reject the order. He
The following day at midnight....................At the Sanchez family's manor in Country Z, Mr. Adrian Sanchez who was sleeping soundly suddenly woke up from his sleep with sweat all over his body. He immediately sat up in his bed.He could not tamp down the uneasiness in his heart after he knew that Nathan had killed Hanova.The Despite Group Company had outstanding defenses and Hanova had so many elite body guards. Still, Nathan had managed to defeat him. Not that he didn't acknowledge Nathan's capabilities.At that moment, he could not help but worry about himself. He was the one who had seek help from Hanova to bring back his long lost daughter but never in his wildest dream did he imagine that she would already be married. And she wasn't even married to just any one but Nathan. How was he suppose to go over this? His other daughter is already in love with Nathan and have been dreaming all this while about when they would plan their marriage. The marriage alliance between the
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
