The father and son from the Weaver family were both dreaming of turning their lives around. Suddenly, a violent cold wind suddenly blew swiftly across Mount Golmin, making them shiver from the cold.Jordan sighed as he said, “The wind at this place is really too harsh. A gust of wind makes my whole body tremble and shiver from the cold. Let’s leave now.”“Okay!” Jeffrey had also felt the cold air that pierced his bones. He quickly shrank his neck as he stood up and patted the snow off his butt. After that, he stretched out his hand to help him father up.In fact, during this period of time when the father and son had to live together on Mount Golmin, their relationship had really improved a lot.In the past, although Jordan had always preferred his eldest son, he was a very selfish person and it was very difficult for him to really treat another person well.Therefore, he treated Jeffrey in just a very ordinary manner even though it was better than how he had treated Liam.Jeffre
Jordan nodded his head and he could not help but sigh as he said, “It would be great if we could get two catties of wine. We can soak the ginseng in wine and enjoy a sip of the wine when we are feeling cold when we are up on the mountain. That would simply be amazing!”Jeffrey replied, “The widow, Leanne, seems to know how to make wine. I’ll chat with her and bring it up when I have the chance to do so someday. Perhaps she has some wine hidden at home.”The father and son continued walking as they chatted among themselves as they walked through the cold wind. They finally arrived at the entrance of the village after more than half an hour.Both of them did not immediately return to their dilapidated house. Instead, they headed to the hunter Mr. Lange’s house in the village in the dark.Although the people living in the village at the foot of Mount Golmin were all very poor, they were not missing anything at all.In the past, people from the village would often head into the mounta
The last time when someone came to rescue the father and son from the Weaver family, they had been dealt with and handled before they could even get close to the Weaver family’s house.So, the father and son from the Weaver family did not know about this at all.At this moment, the Webb family from Sudbury was actually here to rescue them!Both of them were very excited and they immediately followed the group of people to the car so they could go back to Aurous Hill.As they were heading to the entrance of the village, Jordan could not help but ask the man dressed in black next to him, “Brother, we don’t have any friendships or connections with the Webb family from Sudbury. Why is the Webb family trying to rescue us?”The man replied coldly, “It seems that our chairman has the same common enemy as you do.”“A common enemy? Jordan exclaimed as he asked, “Who is it?”The man gritted his teeth before he said, “Charlie Wade!”Jordan and Jeffrey suddenly shuddered.It turned out th
The Webb family had lost fifteen men, while Don Albert and Liam had also lost four of their men!Fortunately, Charlie had already reminded Don Albert and Liam to strengthen their defences a few days ago. That was the reason why both Don Albert and Liam had already sent more men up to Mount Golmin. Otherwise, they really would not have been able to deal with the opponent who had more than a dozen people.The father and son from the Weaver family, who were frightened to death, were caught from the snowfield.It was Don Albert’s subordinate who had arrested them. He was none other than Declan Zaber, the person who was in charge on Mount Golmin.Declan had a very darkened expression as he stared at the father and son who were scared out of their minds. After that, he said coldly, “Do the two of you really think that you will be able to escape?”Jordan cried out loud at this time, “Mr. Declan, we did not intend to escape at all. This group of people were the ones who wanted to put us i
Lord Webb was also an unparalleled hero in the past.Everyone knew about him and everyone knew who he was when anyone mentioned his name in the South Region.He was a very intelligent person in his younger days and he started from scratch as he built everything up from nothing. He was able to build the Webb family up to be the top and most influential family in the South Region, proving that he really had extraordinary skills and abilities.However, he could not fight against old age and time. After Lord Webb retired and passed his family business on to the second generation because of his illness, the Webb family began to go downhill.In fact, no one would have expected the entire Webb family to suffer so much losses so quickly during this period of time.This made Lord Webb suffer continuous torment.It all started when his second grandson, who was a completely normal young man and an especially privileged person, suddenly contracted a strange disease that was incurable.After
If her brother had not been killed, he would have personally smashed her brother into pieces!However, it was meaningless for him to have any regrets. Otherwise, the Webb family would not have ended up in this state today.Lord Webb looked up at Donald as he asked him coldly, “Where’s that woman with the last name Bishop now?”Donald hurriedly replied, “Dad, Alice has been locking herself up in the room during this period of time. She has been weeping her life away.”“Weeping her life away?” Lord Webb gritted his teeth as he said, “Aren’t you going to drive this sort of woman out of this house? What is the point of keeping her around? Do you want to wait for the entire Webb family to be completely defeated before you finally come to your senses?”Donald was stunned and he hurriedly explained, “Dad, you can’t blame Alice for this incident. This is all her brother’s own personal affairs and doings! She is a victim just like me.”Slap!No one would have expected the weak and fragil
Donald felt very embarrassed as he clutched onto his cheek that was already flushed red.He finally realized his mistake at this time.His strategy was correct. He had to unite his comrades and treat the enemies of his enemy as his own allies.No matter whether it was the father and son from the Weaver family who were on Mount Golmin, the Wilson family, or any other people, they were all people whom he should be gathering and uniting together.However, he was wrong because he had acted too hastily. He should not have undermined the morale of his army.The enemy was right there and they would not go missing just because he came one step later.His allies were also right there and they would not die just because he was one step late.Why was he so anxious? He had sent his men up to Mount Golmin twice and he had already failed twice. He had also lost the lives of twenty men up there all for nothing.He should have remained calm and composed and just waited patiently. He should als
“Okay.” It was only at this time that Lord Webb finally nodded his head. “Then, I’ll send The Big Eight up to Mount Golmin tonight. Get the private jet ready.”Donald asked in surprise, “Dad, do we need to be so anxious?”Lord Webb replied earnestly, “You’ve just lost fifteen of your men’s lives tonight. The enemy will definitely think that you wouldn’t dare to come back for a short period of time. We should send The Big Eight over there tonight so they can appear in front of the enemy early in the morning tomorrow. This way, the enemy will definitely be caught off guard!”Donald nodded as he was being educated.He felt a little inferior and ashamed of himself at this time because he felt that his abilities were really too far behind his old man’s.The old man was indeed the one who could really make plans and strategies to win the battle from a thousand miles away.After that, Donald immediately called and arranged for the private jet to prepare to take off. After about an hour,
Holding up a thumb at Charlie, Julien exclaimed in approval, "You're right, my friend! That's far more exciting than having him jailed!"Just hearing that he would be sent to a kennel, Jimmy knew nothing would come of it—even if he didn't know the details, it was so obvious that Julien was thrilled by the very idea!Turning nervously toward Charlie, he was sobbing as he asked, "Mr. Wade…? What's this about a kennel…?"Julien chuckled coolly even before Charlie said a word. "A kennel is where you keep dogs, of course. Though there are literal dogs and metaphorical dogs, and you are the latter."Oh, don't worry. It's a really nice place where you get your own cage, and you'll be fed every day. You don't even have to work, so just sit tight and keep eating until the day you die."Jimmy's soul left his body in that instant.He was going to be locked in a cage?! That was way worse than being locked up and sent to jail! Where was the humanity around here?!Even as the thought struck h
Matilda was actually caught off guard by Jimmy's pleas, and even Paul found it hard to watch.Turning to Charlie, he said, "Please, Mr. Wade—my uncle can be a little despicable, but he is my father's brother. Please, let him have a chance to turn over a new leaf, seeing that he's earnestly repenting."While Paul spoke with Charlie, Jimmy was still confused and wondered why Paul would plead his case with Charlie instead of Julien. If there was anyone Paul should ask, it was Yolden since he was Julien's friend. So, why would he ask some young man instead of Yolden?That was when Charlie asked in curiosity, "You want to let him off? After he tried to take away your parents' legacy?"Paul smiled awkwardly. "I mean, I know the guy. He made sure to travel all this way to make a scene because he had nothing legal that could help him claim Smith Group Corporate Law from us. Otherwise, he'd have already filed the lawsuit in the States. Sure, it's a dirty move, but that's basically a des
As Julien finished, he realized something was wrong and turned toward Charlie before he knew it.Charlie held his gaze in turn, his expression quizzical and amused.Julien cleared his throat right then. "See, there are people who can order me around, but they have my utmost respect. However, a third-rate lawyer like you? Who do you think you are?"That was when Julien's butler called, and he reported respectfully as soon as the call was answered, "Sir, I've spoken with Nate Ellis, the owner of Ares LLC. He has since agreed to fire Jimmy Smith right away as well as disbar him nationwide."Julien asked, "Good. Anything else?""Well, Mr. Ellis also delivered some documents that can be used as evidence against Jimmy Smith, which he claims is enough for a lifetime sentence. If you deem it necessary, we can have it sent to the FBI.""Yes, let's go with that!" Julien replied, his tone satisfied. "And ask the director to handle it personally—I want this prick to never set foot stateside
Jimmy was sweating profusely in fear, but he argued back before he knew it, "That's impossible! Everything you say is bullshit! Gaiman simply thought he had a fair chance of winning and didn't want to pay Ares that much, and I have no idea who he partnered with, and I'm certainly not involved. Don't you try to slander me!"Nate chuckled. "Come on, Jimmy. We're all adults here, so there are things we shouldn't have to be so direct about. Mills Gaiman and your old classmate met in private many times, not to mention the private conferences you three had in secret, discussing your overall strategy and decisive points. Just so you know, Gaiman recorded every conversation, and I have the tapes with me."Jimmy's heart was left pounding as he blurted, "B-Bullshit! That's impossible!""Grow up, Jimmy," Mr.Goodman chuckled. "Every partner in every law firm always strives to rise higher, so I'm going to need as much leverage as I can. Otherwise, I'm not about to let them advance any further, e
Although the ringtone and vibration frequency were the ones Jimmy always used, this call somehow felt more urgent, leaving him exceedingly uneasy.When it abruptly stopped and left a missed call on his log, Nate Ellis soon sent a text: [Answer your damn phone this instant!]Just seeing the text left Jimmy feeling like his throat had gone dry, and as he gulped, it felt like his throat was being ripped, leaving him hurting.Still, he couldn't care less as his boss called again.Having seen the text, Jimmy didn't hesitate this time and promptly answered, watching Julien's smug face as he started tentatively, "Y-Yes, boss...?"Nate immediately yelled at him hysterically, "What the hell did you do?! Why did the Rothschilds call to complain about you?! And the complaint was from their heir apparent, at that! I worked hard for them and always toed the line for years, and I still haven't gotten a chance to meet the man, so how the fuck did you upset him?!"Jimmy's heart sank to rock bott
Fuming, Jimmy snapped at Julien, "If you insist on playing it like that, I will call my boss, and you can talk to him yourself!"Julien chuckled. "That's unnecessary. I've never met him. He would never recognize my voice."Jimmy laughed and nodded despite himself. "Impressive—you can really come up with anything! You don't have his number because he's beneath you, you refuse to call him because he's beneath you, and when I say I'll call him for you, you say he won't recognize your voice. Well, how do you suppose we should sort this out? At least prove you're a Rothschild, or anyone could claim that they are—"Julien held up a hand to stop him. "Then, how about this? I'll ask my butler to talk to your boss."Jimmy laughed even more loudly as if it were the best joke ever. "Hahaha!!! Butler, you say?! You really know how to talk! Alright, I'll wait and see what your 'butler' can do… I mean, what you can do. We'll see whether my boss calls me!"Julien ignored him and whipped out his
Naturally, Jimmy couldn't care less about Julien's suggestion, even looking at him pointedly from head to toe while smirking in contempt, "What, do you think I'd just do what any nutjob tells me to do just because they're claiming to be the Rothschilds' heir apparent?"Julien nodded, still smiling. "Good point, but don't worry—it's the same whether you call him or he calls you."Jimmy laughed. "I was offering you a way out, but you want to keep pressing your luck? Since you don't care to back off, let's see how you're going to finish this fight."Then, he shrugged while pointing at Yolden. "Well, it's the perfect chance to measure Matilda's husband, I guess."Based on what he saw of Yolden, there was no way he would buy Julien's claims, and thus labeled him an impostor in his mind.An ordinary lecturer in Aurous Hill, being friends with the Rothschilds' heir apparent? Not to mention that there had been plenty of fraudulent cases outside the States where the Rothschild name was use
Jimmy was taken aback since he didn't recognize Julien at all, mainly because the Rothschilds had always kept out of the public eye.In fact, it was basically impossible to gather genuine information about the Rothschilds online, as it was a mix of press releases and gossip. Most online biographies would only be about the older generations or certain frivolous figures. Any information about key members like Steve would never be searchable online.Matilda was confused as well, not quite understanding who Julien was since he wasn't on the list of guests invited.Seeing that she was confused, Julien turned and smiled at Yolden, "So, Professor, shouldn't you introduce me to the bride?"Yolden finally remembered that and quickly nodded, "Sorry, it slipped my mind."Turning toward Matilda, he smiled, "Darling, this is Julien Rothschild… A friend of mine from the states…"Julien's full name left everyone within earshot gaping as the Rothschild name was way too famous across the globe.
Seeing that Jimmy was getting a little nervous, Charlie smiled and assured him, "Please, you have nothing to worry about. No one's going to do anything to you, but if you feel threatened in any way, you can call the cops. The Oskian emergency hotline is 110, by the way."Jimmy was slightly relieved as he could see that Charlie really wasn't trying to make things awkward for him, and he straightened his collar as he said, "Actually, I didn't mean to cause trouble—I'm pleased that Matilda has found true love once more, and if we can be friends, I can set aside my claim and stay for the rest of this wedding, offering the newlyweds our best wishes as a representative of my family."Still, his expression showed contempt as he turned toward Yolden. "Also, I'm really curious and looking forward to seeing what connections Professor Hart might have that you say could be better than Bill.""You'll see soon enough," Charlie smiled and nodded.Jimmy remained skeptical and scoffed, "I really do
