It was the calm before the storm.
While Xiong Zhi's grand plans finally started to move forward to reality, Xiong De still had no idea of the storm that was brewing on his way. From the tensed mood on the night of the banquet, he was engulfed with the aftermath of the Zhou family's separation. Only today was he finally able to take a breather and calm himself down.
As usual, a package was sent to him through the secret channels.
His new attending butler, whom he acquired from the reputable butler family that he was familiar with, walked into the study room nervously.
Seeing the new face, Xiong De's rare peaceful mood was instantly swept away.
"G-good afternoon, Master. A package has arrived," the butler slightly stuttered out of nervousness, inwardly blaming himself for the gaffe.Ā
