Thea was still in a daze. Everything that just happened was unbelievable. The Hills formed a circle around her. Cyrus asked puzzledly, “What’s going on, Thea? That was Richard Xenos we’re talking about, the patriarch of the family. He’s someone with assets worth hundreds of billions! Why was he kneeling before you?” “That’s right, Thea. How influential are you, exactly?” “Who’s the one helping you out behind the scenes?” “Why did Richard Xenos seem so afraid of you?” The Hills chimed in. Thea was puzzled too. However, she assumed it was the mysterious Mr. Caden working his magic in the shadows. She did not know he would be so influential that even Richard Xenos of North Cansington would be fearful of him. “Whew!” Thea took a deep breath. Her head was spinning. She did not want to think about this anymore. “I-It’s nothing. By the way, a word of caution here. Don’t tell anyone about what happened today. He’s the patriarch of the Xenoses worth hundreds of billion

Then, he went to look for his boss. In a room of an underground gambling den in North Cansington, Dylan bowed and spoke respectfully, “Bryson, this is a great opportunity to make money. I found out that the guy who beat my men up is called James. He’s from Cansington and is here to celebrate the birthday of a Hill. The Hills have assets totaling a few billion.” A forty-year-old-looking man sat on the sofa. His name was Bryson Caiazzo. He owned a few bars, KTV, and gambling dens. He was also a loan shark. “Have you looked into the Hills?” Bryson asked disinterestedly. He had climbed his way up the social ladder by proceeding with the utmost caution. He would not target those he could not. However, he would utterly ruin those he could. “I have. The patriarch of the family’s a retired veteran. There are also a few government officials among the younger generation. But, since they’ve injured our men, they’ll have to pay compensation. So what if they’re officials? Will they be

Only a few close relatives of the Hills were here yesterday. Today, however, was different. Everyone was present. Jedidiah and his four sons and two daughters, as well as his nieces and nephews, were all present. The courtyard of the Hills’ residence resounded with laughter and joy. James and Thea became the subjects of discussion the moment they arrived. Everyone murmured about how Gladys’ time had come and how she could finally lift her head high. Gladys headed toward them and reproached James, “What were you thinking, James? How dare you stay out all night with my daughter?!” Thea hurriedly explained, “Mom, it’s not his fault. I drank a little last night. So, we decided to get a room at a hotel.” “Aunt Gladys, I treated Thea to a meal last night.” Cyrus stepped forward and said with a smile, “Thea couldn’t hold her liquor and was drunk only after a few glasses of wine. It’s not her fault.” Only then did Gladys brighten up a little. At that moment, a police car stop

Before taking action, Bryson had investigated the Hills’ background.The Hills had a lot of students involved in various fields, with the most influential one being the City Police Department Chief. They also had many family members within the military, police force, and government departments. However, none of them had very high ranks in these fields.Meanwhile, his boss was in a position of high authority and the second most powerful person in North Cansington.The Hills’ villa courtyard.Most of the core family members had arrived.Jedidiah and the old lady of the house sat in front.The banquet had not begun yet.According to the Hills’ customs, the banquet would only begin after the younger generations presented their gifts.Cyrus stepped forward and took out the gift he had prepared in advance.“Grandma, I know you’ve been paying attention to your health recently. I specifically made a trip to Cansington and bought this health supplement at a sky-high price.”“Wow, is t

The crowd turned toward the voice.A tall, slender woman in a white dress walked over.“Who?”Everyone was stunned.Who was this woman?Jedidiah, the head of the Hills, stood up and greeted her.“Young lady, who might you be?” he asked.The woman that appeared was Christine.She glanced at the King of Ginseng that was shoved to the floor, walked over, and picked it up.“I’m Christine, the granddaughter of Jay Fallon from Cansington, and also the person in charge of Herbal Biotech. This is indeed the King of Ginseng from Herbal Biotech. I’m the one who gave it to Ms. Thea. Are you all accusing this King of Ginseng that costs a hundred and fifty million dollars to be fake?”She glanced at the crowd.Dozens of people were present at the scene.However, it was dead silent.Why would the person in charge of Herbal Biotech suddenly appear in the Hills’ villa?James was also slightly surprised to see Christine arrive so soon after he had just made the phone call.‘She came incr
