Feeling comforted, Angelo Winston replied. "That sounds good. It's really thoughtful of the both of you." He did not have the habit of celebrating his birthdays, but turning 50 was considered a milestone. As such, it was a meaningful one. He had originally also plan to host a dinner and invite some of his close friends and relatives to get together. He wanted it to be a boisterous a fair so that everyone would know that the youngest son of the Winston family was also quiet doing well. After the wind that his daughter and her husband had already made arrangements for his birthday, he spent the rest of the day making calls to friends and relatives. Inviting them to his birthday event at the Centennial Hotel's Phoenix hall held at noon tomorrow. However, when he make a call to his mother, Lady Winston, he heard something which had grown him off. Letting out a Satisfied laugh, Lady Winston said. "What a coincidence! I'm also planning to celebrate my grandson John to his 28th birthday a
The next day, Angelo Winston and Lady Winston hosted the birthday celebrations at Centennial Hotel's Phoenix Hall and Grand Hall respectively. Lady Winston, John, Denisse, and their other relatives where gathered at the Grand Hall, where John Winston's luncheon was held. Relatives and friends who had started streaming in, dropped by the Phoenix Hall to pass Angelo Winston a small birthday gift presents, before heading to Lady Winston side with the extravagant and expensive presents. As the time approached noon, John Winston's Grand Hall was already filled with guess who where there to celebrate his birthday. More people were flowing in that makes Lady Winston become excited. But the other hand, Angelo Winston's Phoenix Hall was cold and cheerless. Apart from the hotels service crew, Angelo, Dulce, Jate and Angela were the only people there. Not even one guest was present. Suddenly, a man who was dressed in suit, walk in with smiles. It was Greg Kent, Angelo's distant relative. It wa
With his pride hurt, Angelo Winston blamed his daughter and son-in-law for his predicament. "See? I've already told you guys not too fuss over my birthday. We now have 50 empty tables without any single guest, how embarrassing is this." Just then, the hotel manager walk over and asked in a hushed tone. "Mr. Winston, it's just half an hour to noon. But none of your guests have arrived yet, are you still intending to proceed with the lunch as planned?" Angelo Winston could feel the mocking stairs from the manager and the service crews. He was scorched with shame and was thinking of canceling the lunch banquet and offering to wear the resulting losses. But before he could state his intention, Jate had already spoken. "Of course we are proceeding as planned. Please arrange for more service staff, I'm afraid that the people you have here will not be enough to handle are numerous guests." The hotel managers can around the deserted Phoenix Hall and silently sneered, before casually ackno
'What? VIP? Friends? Could it be?' Angela's parents looked at Jate as if he was insane. As if he's out of his mind. Angelo his father in law was the first to came back in his senses, he let out a sigh as he said. "Jate, get your head out of the clouds. It's almost noon, how are we going to get some VIP's? Why don't you say will invite the Mayor instead?" As a matter of fact, Jate replied. "Yes! That's right! The VIP's whom I was referring to include the Mayor as well." Everyone from the family couldn't help but rolled their eyes at the mans absurdity. Since it did not cost anything to brag, Jate seemed to be overindulging in it. Phoenix Hall was situated at the east side of the second floor of the Centennial Hotel, while in the west side was the Grand Hall. As compared to the desolate Phoenix Hall, the Grand Hall was full of activity and livelier. Friends and relatives of the winston family had all chosen to attend at Lady Winston's place for John Winston's birthday celebration in
As such, the evil, and vicious looking grandmother Lady Winston and granddaughter Denisse together with John himself headed off for the Phoenix Hall at once. When the gang arrived, Angelo Winston was in the midst of blaming her daughter and son-in-law for organizing this birthday banquet. At the sight of his mother and niece and nephew, Angelo walk towards them with conflicting emotions. He asked weakly. "Grandma, John and Denisse, what brings you guys here?" Lady Winston narrowed her eyes as she said smugly. "We're just here to take a look." John and Denisse look around the whole and said deliberately. "Uncle Angelo, you don't seem to have any guest!" Angelo Winston's face flushed red with embarrassment as he answered. "They just haven't arrived yet." Lady Winston let out a mocking laughed and said. "Our friends and relatives are all over at John's birthday celebration, who else could you be expecting?" Dulce, who was still upset over her husband's dismissal from the subsidiary
Everyone from the Winston family was looking at Denisse in a new light. They had never known that this young woman to actually be so capable. Even Denisse herself did not know what was going on. As a matter of fact, she had only met Mr. Red briefly a couple of times. When she made the call to the mayor's secretary, she was not confident that he would turn up. Denisse had never imagined, in her wildest dreams, that she would have the influence to gather almost all of the influential figure in the political circle of the city all at once! Not even that even some richest billionaires had came. Her face flushed exhilaration. She didn't care about the actual reason for their appearance, what was important to her was that she was able to make herself proud in front of her family. When Mr. Red noticed Denisse and her family approaching, he nodded his head slightly towards their group, before continuing to lead his group towards the Phoenix Hall. "Mr. Moore, this way please. Mr. Winston's bi
What was even more shocking was that the straight face William Moore, would usually had a pressuring aura around him at immediately hastened his footsteps and walked towards Jate Woods and Angelo Winston when he spotted than. The mayor was all smiles as he greeted them. "Mr. Woods, Mr. Winston, I'm especially here to congratulate Mr. Winston on your special day. I'm not sure if I can have the honor of having a drink or two with you today?" Lady Winston and her family widened their eyes and disbelief. The scene in front of them seemed so unreal . They wish it was an awful dream which they could shake themselves out of. And also Angelo, Dulce his wife and his daughter Angela were also astounded. They had assumed that Jate is just merely bragging. None of them had expected the few big shots of the city to really show up as their guests. Angelo winston felt extremely flattered, as he was not expecting this sudden happiness. The man welcome the mayor and the rest of the big shots in an o
As the Mayor got carried away with the positive attention he was receiving, he suddenly noticed Jate Woods, who was standing next to Angelo Winston. The man immediately took it down a notch and restrained himself. A courteous expression resurface on his face as he said to Angelo Winston. "Mr. Winston, do you like my gift to you?" How could Angelo Winston say no? He thanked the Mayor profusely, showing an immense appreciation. He then instructed his daughter to safe keep it, as the man intended to have it keep it in a safe place the minute he got home. The other big shots also presented Angelo Winston with the gifts they had brought for him. They were not that expensive but were either exclusive or meaningful gifts. Lady winston and her family watch as the Mayor and the other big shots showered Angelo Winston with attention and presented him with all of those precious gifts. Apart from feeling and his and jealous, there was nothing much they could do. The crestfallen family escape ba
It was an uneasy night in Fairview city. It was as if something frightening was going to happen. Many people were kept on their toes, anxiously waiting as if doomsday was upon them. In a quiet house in the mountains not too far from Fairview city. Mr. Howards was here. He hadn't been made his move at all. His cheeks were flushed and he looked good. After he heard the reports, he sat in the pavilion and was silent for a long time. "I wanted you to kill off Scar and that brat Jan Bobber, then put the blame on Jate Woods. I didn't expect him to walk into this plan himself," Mr. Howards said after a very long while. "I only wanted him to take the blame, but he actually did it himself." His eyes darkened and he couldn't understand Jate Woods at all. The less he understood, the more wary he became. "Can he take the brunt of Johnny Bobber's fury?" Killer asked. Out of the five of them that worked closely under Johnny Bobber, Killer had killed two and Jate Woods killed one. They were no
Meanwhile, somewhere in Fairview city. Johnny Bobber was here! He hadn't heard anything from his son, Jan Bobber, and he had even lost contact with Scar. Johnny Bobber was worried that Mr. Howard had made his move and killed his folks. But after returning to Fairview city, there was no trace of movement of Mr. Howards anywhere. That old thing wouldn't dare to move recklessly. He had been worried for nothing. But where was his son Jan Bobber then? His son loved to play and went anywhere he wanted, and he was an extremely arrogant and condescending character. Johnny Bobber knew, but it didn't bother him. Jan Bobber was Johnny Bobber's son, so who cared if he was domineering? It was only right of him to be arrogant! Since Mr. Howards dared not to make his move, then he had nothing to worry about. "There's no trace of of movement of Mr. Howards nor his weapon Killer. Looks like our news is reliable. Mr. Howards is getting old and scaredy." Star had picked up some information. He frowne
Bang! Suddenly, an even more powerful force gushed out! Jate Woods fist didn't seem like much, but it was like rushing river waters and was extremely ferocious. Scar's expression instantly changed. He wanted to only use half of his strength, but now he immediately turned it up to full power. He didn't expect Jate Woods to be someone capable of fighting! But of course he wasn't in time. Crack! Compared to Scar's punch, Jate Woods's was faster! More powerful! And more fiercer! His fist smashed into Scar's thigh. There was a loud cracking sound that was the sound of a bone cracking! Scar went flying. The shock on his face had now turned into fear. The power this one punch packed was way too terrifying! If he hadn't dodged fast enough, his leg might be amputated on the spot! He was a highly skilled fighter! This Jate Woods was a highly skilled fighter! "Jan Bobber..." Scar yelled out and wanted him to run. But before he could get his full sentence out, Jate was already in front of him.
After work, Jate Woods took his wife and went to a hot spring resort. "I told you not to tire yourself out!" Jate nagged. "The company can take its time to advance, and it's good enough for you to just have a training ground." Angela had worked too hard and her body was so tired. Jate couldn't stand it anymore when he saw how she would massage her neck and shoulders from time to time and looked like she was feeling great discomfort. He made her stop work immediately and brought her out to relax. This hot spring resort belonged to Mr. Rogers, and it was fairly famous in the city. Not just any resort could get such a good spot with a natural hot spring after all. "Hubyyy...I still have reports to read." Angela had changed out of her clothes, but she was still talking about work. She had changed into a bikini, but she still kept a towel wrapped around herself, and was just short of wrapping her entire body up. "If you talk some more about work, I'll shut the company down right now!"
Jate Woods sighed to himself on the sofa, after hearing the news of the Clarkson family disappearance. This city of Fairview was a really interesting one. Five days later.... "What are you dreaming about?" Angela noticed that her husband was sitting in the sofa in a daze and she wrinkled her nose. "I asked you how was Fairview city, but you ignored me." "There's nothing interesting in there Eastblue city is still better." Jate just shrugged and just simply an answer. "None of the women there look prettier than you." Angela was about to say it was impossible that Eastblue city was better than Fairview city, but she didn't know how to respond to his second statement. Did this guy only know how to tease her all the time? Her face reddened and she glared at him for a time before finally managed to say, "You went there again and just to look at women?" Jate Woods nearly choked on the water he was drinking. Why was that Angela's focus?! "It's time to knock off, let's go home. I wonder
Miranda Bailey soon recovered from the shock. She warily hid behind her bodyguards to guard up Jate Woods against attacking her suddenly. She sneered, "Jate Woods, you really are something. Guess we can't fight you alone! But you're still just a human being. You can't be greater than weapons. Listen, I have my men aiming at you! You can't run away, no matter what. If you don't want to die, get down on your knees now!" "Get down on my knees? Are you kidding me? You don't deserve it!" Jate Woods stared at Miranda Bailey and spoke in his usual cold tone. Miranda Bailey could not help but bellow upon hearing his words. "Get the men to shoot him. He's dying to go to hell!" Miranda Bailey scowled and ordered Tom Clarkson, who stood by her side drily. The latter did not hesitate to give his order through the microphone, which was pinned on his collar, "Men, get ready to shoot." Selena whined and struggled madly when she heard him. Miranda Bailey and Tom Clarkson, with the rest of their
What? When Henry Styles and Bob Miller heard him, they were utterly astounded. Jate Woods was the Young Master of the Woods family, a powerhouse of the wealth and power. For Jate Woods, killing someone from the Styles family and Miller family was as easy as slaughtering an animal. Furthermore, if Jate Woods had truly killed Mask Styles, he would have admitted it openly. The Styles family and the Miller family would not dare to oppose him at all. However, things became complex now that Jate Woods denied involvement in this. The cunning Henry Styles and Bob Miller quickly realized someone else had killed Mask and Jimmy. That person was trying to push the blame onto the Young Master and use them to kill him! Upon this revelation, they gritted their teeth out of resentment. The mastermind had not only killed their juniors, they had also tried to use them to deal with the Young Master of the Woods family. Because of that, their families had almost gotten wiped off by the him. They must g
When this thought surfaced in Henry Styles and Bob Miller's minds, they were so scared that they paled instantly. Sweat started to drip down their foreheads. "Kill them and take revenge for Young Masters of the Miller family!" "Yeah! Kill his family and take revenge for the Young Masters of the Styles family!" Henry Styles and Bob Miller's followers did not seem to noticed the strange expressions that had appeared on their masters' faces. They started yelling furiously as they prepared to attack Jate Woods's family. However, Bob Miller stopped them hurriedly. "Wait for a moment!" Everyone was stunned and confused, everyone looked at Bob Miller, who had earlier declared that he wanted to kill Jate Woods's family. Henry Styles was also staring at Jate Woods apprehensively. Pointing at the jade on the table, he asked with a trembling voice, "Jate Woods, where did you get that plate from?" Staring at the terrified Henry Styles and Bob Miller, Jate Woods replied with a smile, "This j
Henry Styles nodded. "I thought the same idea as you. To deal with a small fry like Jate Woods, we must take an aggressive stance and let the entire country know how powerful we are. Otherwise, there'll still be people trying to challenge our authority in the future." When Henry Styles said that, a worried expression appeared on his face. "If both of our families attack Jate Woods, to kill him will be a piece of cake. However, I heard that the there's a rumor that the Young Master of the Woods family has been found and he was now currently staying at Eastblue city, making a low-profile living." Indeed when Miranda Bailey found him, she immediately spread a rumor where's his whereabouts. "We plan to mobilize a large group of followers and kill that bastard Jate Woods's family in Eastblue city. But if we disturb the Young Master of the Woods family by doing so, we'll be doomed," He added. Bob Miller said, "Yes, we need to take note of this. Why don't we do this? I'll give the the May
