"Y–you're not keeping your fucking word! You said you'd let me live, Horst!
Why? Why?!" Matt wailed bitterly. However, the only reply he got was the
strike of a cold blade.
As
they stepped out of the villa, Alfred asked abruptly, "How many members a
re then in the Laney family's main lineage?"
"The report says 35 of them," the burly young man replied.
"I see. Well, get rid of all of them."
In the morning, at the airport. Edwin and Tina waited in front of a Rolls
–
Royce Phantom. "Dad, we've already been waiting for two hours. Why isn't
Joshua here yet?" Tina glanced around, looking anxious.
"It's normal for flights to be delayed. Let's wait it out a little longer
. Edwin
looked calm. Last night, he'd suddenly received a call from Joshua, sayin
g he'd completed his refinement, which meant he was now the
Hummer family's trump card.
As they spoke, a young couple exited the airport. The man was handsome an
d dignified, giving off an air reminiscent of a sharp blade, making one u
nable to look him in the eye. The woman beside him was dressed in red and
equally outstanding. She was beautiful, elegant, and looked powerful.
"Dad, he's here!" Tina's eyes lit up with excitement. She'd been eagerly
anticipating his return.
"Josh, you're finally back!" Edwin approached him with a bright smile.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Dad." Joshua smiled and gestured to the woman
beside him. "Allow me to introduce you to Jade Grant, my fiancée."
"Jade Grant?" Edwin looked taken aback before asking tentatively. "Is she
the third daughter of the Grant family?"
"Yes, that's right." Joshua smiled.
"Nice to meet you. Mr. Hummer." Jade nodded.
"Yes, yes, nice to meet you, too. As expected of a daughter of the Grant
family–
you're the very embodiment of beauty and grace!" Edwin looked delighted.
He never would've expected his son to be able to win the Grant family's f
avor. The five wealthiest families in Millsburg were known as the Fabulou
s Five, but there were three other families seven more powerful than them
–
the Tremendous Three. The Grant family was one of them. If the Hummer fam
ily could form an alliance with the Grant family through Joshua's marriag
e with Jade, they'd have a bright future ahead!
