In Jeremy's mind, if Lucas managed to pacify the mafia, that was great. But if he died out there, that would be an absolute win for him too.Not only was Lucas the biggest obstacle to Angeline and Max's arranged marriage, but he had also humiliated Jeremy at the family gathering yesterday."Alright, I'll go meet them," Lucas said."I'm coming with you!" Angeline declared.Angeline couldn't let such a massive responsibility fall solely on Lucas. Even though their relationship was fake, she couldn't bear the thought of him getting hurt.Besides, if something terrible happened to Lucas, her entire plan would fall apart."No! I absolutely forbid it!" Jeremy demanded."I can't let Lucas go out there alone. He is my future husband," Angeline stated firmly."Tch! Idiot!" Jeremy cursed. "Can't you think clearly, Angeline? It's dangerous out there.""Isn't it just as dangerous for Lucas?" Angeline shot back with a piercing glare.Jeremy shook his head in disbelief, completely baffled by her st

Enrique's forces were poised to attack from all sides upon receiving the order.Logically, Lucas's life was about to end. However, Lucas had always defied logic and common sense."Do you really think you can defeat me like this? How ridiculous!" Lucas scoffed.Enrique was perplexed as to why Lucas showed absolutely no fear despite being completely surrounded.An ordinary man would be pale with terror, yet Lucas looked perfectly calm and brimming with confidence. Who was he exactly? What kind of power did he possess to be this fearless?"Boss. Let's just finish him off. He talks too much," urged a man standing behind Enrique.The leader of the Lumos Organization brushed aside his lingering suspicions about the man standing before him."I don't have much time. So, forgive me if I can't give you a moment to say your goodbyes or leave a will," Enrique sneered.Lucas merely smirked. He completely dismissed Enrique's threat."Attack!" Enrique commanded.Enrique's subordinates surged forward

Max saw the disappointment and doubt lingering on Angeline's face. He quickly seized this opportunity to earn her admiration and a deep sense of gratitude."When I arrived, the riot was already underway. I ordered Enrique to stop his men, but he refused. So, I ordered my own forces to fight Enrique and take them down," Max boasted proudly.Jeremy smiled widely. "You truly are incredible, Max. There is no doubt that the Benedict Family will soon become the number one family in Verdansk. No one will ever dare cross you."Max waved his hand dismissively, though a smug look remained on his face. "Ah, it's not quite like that. That might be a bit of an exaggeration. Well, even though there's a chance we could become the number one family, for now, breaking into the top ten great families of Verdansk is much more realistic."Currently, the Benedict Family was not yet among the top ten families in Verdansk. They sat at the twelfth position.Jeremy nodded in absolute agreement.Max glanced at

As Lucas continued to step closer, Dario was forced to back away. His face was visibly tense."Of course I am his biological son. So you'd better not mess with me, or my father will destroy you," Dario threatened again as he retreated.Seeing this, Max stepped forward to protect Dario. He figured this was a perfect opportunity to win over the Moratta family. If he managed to get in their good graces, both he and his family would reap massive benefits."Stop right there!" Max shouted, standing squarely in front of Dario.Lucas smirked at Max's demand and halted his steps."Why? Are you trying to interfere?" Lucas asked calmly."Absolutely! Dario is a good friend of mine, and I will protect him," Max declared with brimming confidence.Lucas let out a small chuckle. He took a long breath and said, "Even Gigio's son can't stand against me, let alone you?"The remark made Max's face flush red."Just give it up and leave. Don't try to kiss up and play the hero here, because it's not going t

Gigio's wealth was no joke. His personal net worth exceeded $1.2 billion, while his corporate empire, the Moratta Group, held a staggering valuation of $6 billion.If that vast fortune were split in half, Lucas would instantly skyrocket into the ranks of the top twenty wealthiest individuals in Verdansk. And that didn't even include the unfathomable wealth he had already amassed and left behind with the Veleno mafia."Father! Do you even realize what you just said?" Dario demanded, his face twisted in utter disbelief.As the sole heir, Dario naturally opposed the idea vehemently. He couldn't stomach the thought of surrendering half of his massive inheritance to a complete stranger, especially one he considered to be from the lowest caste of society.However, if Dario had any inkling of the true extent of Lucas's wealth from his reign as the Mafia King, he would have died of shame. His own family's fortune was mere pocket change in comparison.Gigio nodded firmly. "Nothing in this worl
