Benjamin took it and glanced at Gladys. Then, he stood up and went to the balcony to smoke.James was also not really bothered. He took a deep puff and exhaled the smoke through his nose.“Since you want to fight for some benefits, you might as well get a little more. Trust me, Mom. When they come back again, you should directly ask for half of the Callahans’ shares. You can go back if they agree, and if they don’t, then you don’t go back,” James said indifferently.“What…what kind of nonsense is that? Do you know how big the Callahans’ family business is? Do you even know how much fifty percent of the family shares is?” David rebuked.“James, don’t add to the mess,” Thea scolded.Unexpectedly, Gladys straightened her back and agreed, “I think what James said makes perfect sense! They’ll have to give fifty percent to persuade me. After all, I don’t really care to go back. I’ll only consider if they’re going to offer fifty percent. That will ensure that we have the final say in the

In just a few words, James had solved the internal conflicts within Thea's family.At night.Thea’s room.Thea was lying on her bed and turned to look at James, sleeping on the floor.Her heart palpitated as she thought of what had happened during the day.“James, is it cold on the floor?”“Huh? Oh, it’s alright,” James was deep in thought about the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside's Edge and Black Rose when he suddenly heard Thea’s voice and replied instinctively.“Then you can continue sleeping on the floor.” Thea turned around angrily.She initially wanted to let him join her in bed, but James was extremely dense.“Oh…“Thea, I’m really cold.” James suddenly realized and pretended to tremble. However, Thea simply threw him a blanket.James knew that he missed a golden opportunity because he was not attentive.Still, he did not think too much about it since he appreciated what he had now.The night passed by silently.Thea’s family headed out early the next morning to pur

“My real name is Scarlett Brooks, Commander,” Black Rose replied honestly.“Alright, Scarlett. I would like to purchase the commercial city in Cansington. You’ll be in charge of it. Henry will assist you behind the scenes and prepare everything for you so you can purchase the place at the lowest price. All you will have to do is attract foreign investments and transform it into a top-tier financial center.”“Understood!” Scarlett nodded, not daring to refuse his order.“Henry.”“I’m all ears, James.”“Inform our men in the Southern Plains to investigate the ancient tomb of the Prince of Orchid Mountain and the mastermind who hired the Black Rose Gang to raid the tomb. Also, find out the identity of the murderer who stole the treasure and whether it was a Black Rose gang member or someone else,” James instructed.Henry nodded and walked out. Taking out his phone, he called the Southern Plains Headquarters and ordered them to use all available connections to investigate.James loo

James left Common Clinic.He still had more work to do.There were two reasons for his return to Cansington—to repay the kindness he was shown and to take revenge.Although the Xaviers, one of the Great Four, had been abolished and the heads of the other three families were dead, there were far more people at the Cadens’ villa back then than them.Many important family members within the Great Four were present!Everyone that was at the Cadens’ villa had to perish!The Frasiers!They were one of the Great Four households in Cansington with countless family businesses and assets worth tens of billions.The Frasiers’ family villa was luxurious and grand.However, the Frasiers’ villa was not as lively and jolly as it used to be in the past.In the hall of the villa, there was a coffin surrounded by all three generations of the Frasiers kneeling on the ground with a priest.Some families who had a good relationship with the Cadens had also attended the funeral of the head of the

“Dad, what happened ten years ago? Are the Great Four related to the fire that engulfed the Cadens’ family ten years ago?The Frasier family members cried out.This guy was a grim reaper. He said that he was not going to spare anyone. Did that mean he was going to kill all of the Frasiers?After relaying the message to the Frasiers, James paid a visit to the Wilsons and Zimmermans.It was the same message. He wanted the culprits at the Cadens’ villa who caused the death of the thirty-eight Caden family members to kneel in front of the Cadens’ cemetery for ten days and redeem themselves with their deaths.Otherwise, no one in their family would be spared.The Xavier family of the Great Four had already perished, and the heads of the other three families were also dead.However, this was just the beginning. The three families panicked.The main members of the three households immediately gathered and sought Rowena to discuss countermeasures since she was the mastermind behind

The people involved in the Cadens' perish were core members of the Great Four, and ordinary family members had no access to such secrets.After the Cadens were destroyed, the Great Four never mentioned the incident.However, some rumors spread.Some people claimed that Nicholas took his life out of guilt. He ignited the fire in the Cadens’ villa and attempted to repent for the sins that he had committed with the flames.Some people also said that the Cadens had offended someone of authority and therefore were destroyed. No one knew the truth.However, James issued them a death notice.Kneel for ten days and pay with their lives.How was it possible?These people were filthy rich with hundreds of millions of assets and enjoyed inexhaustible wealth. It was already impossible for them to kneel for ten days, let alone take their own lives.The representatives of the families left Rowena’s ward one after another.Hector, Warren’s eldest son and Rowena’s eldest brother, hurried t

However, even an elite like the lieutenant of the Western Border Patrol was murdered at the Cansington Hotel. How were ordinary people like them going to stand against him?Still, they were willing to take a chance to fight back.They were unaware of the grave consequences that would follow when they failed.The Great Four were thrown into panic, yet the outside world had no idea as it was an internal affair of the Great Four.The rest of the world only knew that the Great Four were in big trouble. The head of the Xaviers, Warren, died tragically at his birthday banquet. Soon after, the news of Trent’s passing spread.After that, the heads of the other three families of the Great Four also died.All important figures from the Great Four were gone.It was major news in Cansington.However, the news was overshadowed by the succession of the Blithe King.Now that the succession ceremony was over, everyone began to turn their attention to the affairs of the Great Four again.“The

Thea’s family left early in the morning.Their goal today was to purchase a new luxury car.They had visited countless car dealers and tested many cars, including Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, and luxury cars from other well-known brands.However, they were still unsatisfied.It was either too low for their expectations or way over their budget.Coincidentally, there was a motor show in Cansington that day.There were plenty of luxury cars being showcased. Thea’s family visited the show.Davids's eyes widened when he saw the luxury cars on display.“Woah! Ferrari, Bentley, Maybach, and Bugatti Veyron!”David looked at the sexy and attractive model standing in front of the luxury cars on display and was envious. “When will we ever be able to buy a real luxury car? A car that costs one million is garbage compared to these.”Slap!Gladys slapped David’s forehead and reprimanded him. “Don’t have unrealistic dreams. It’s more than enough to buy a car that is about one million. Wh
