[Ding! Congratulations, Host, on completing the task. You have successfully stolen the Galaxy Hotel and Casino from the Son of Luck's hand, giving him a setback on his future progress]
[You have gained 20 Fate Value. Son of Luck, Aaron Stone, has lost 20 Fate Value]
[You have received 10,000 Villain Points]
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have received 100 Million Draks]
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have received a video on your phone]
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have discovered the truth about Ginny Harper]
As soon as he exited the Office after making the payments and signing the related documents, he heard the System Prompts, and only he knew how relieved he was at finishing the task.
Out of curiosity, he checked the file in his mind that contained the truth about Ginny Harper, and what he learned from it, dismayed him.
Her mother was Robert Sterling's Secretary! The two had an illicit relationship, and both Ginny and her older brother were the product of their affair.
Robert was aware of it, and he was also behind the death of Ginny's 'Father', who had discovered the truth after secretly getting a DNA test twelve years ago.
What shocked him the most was that the reason Aaron came back to the city was because he had learned this truth after investigating the affairs of the Sterling Family.
And the one who killed John Harper was none other than Aaron! He killed him because he was Robert's son, and after learning the truth, he could no longer see him as his brother-in-arms.
Even though there was no more information in the file, he could already guess what Aaron was planning.
He probably wanted to seduce Ginny and later use her to swallow the wealth of the Sterling Family. This way, he would not even have to reveal that he was a bastard.
Mikael's breathing quickened as he realised how important Ginny was in this plot. And the only reason she was a Supporting Character was because the Son of Luck hated her from the inside and only looked at her as his tool.
"Use the 10,000 Points on the Lucky Draw." He asked the System and prayed that it would be something good.
As the dice rolled in his mind, he waited with bated breaths and soon heard the prompt.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, on winning a special cell phone.]
He was so mad that he wanted to punch the wall, but there were people around so he could only exercise forbearance.
"Seriously, a cell phone?"
{Host, this cell phone comes with unlimited internet, without any signal issues, can be used anywhere in the world, and has its own unique cell number that can not be traced by anyone. You can also link your current cell phone to this phone and receive and make calls. Importantly, this phone will automatically be stored in the System Inventory, so you won't lose it. It has an unmatched camera and audio quality...}
After the System introduced him to its features, he felt a lot better.
This was a very useful thing, and he immediately took it out.
It was a nice design, not anything unique, which was good since it would not attract anyone's attention.
After linking his existing phone to the System Phone, he opened the video that he had received in the rewards.
It was surveillance footage of a very high quality. The audio was pretty clear too.
Even though he was not wearing any earphones, only he could hear the audio, which was one of this cell phone's features. It almost felt magical.
However, soon he stopped in his steps and froze when someone stabbed a person in the back, and he immediately recognised the face of the attacker.
"Why... Aaron?
"No Sterling scum deserves to live! Your face reminds me of that hateful man, but don't worry, I will send him to meet you in hell soon. You can ask him why I killed you there. Also, I will take good care of your sister. She's quite a beauty..."
"You..."
John's eyes lost their brilliance as Aaron ripped his heart out of his chest.
The Son of Luck then escaped the scene, and a while later, an explosion occurred which cut the feed.
Mikael wanted to laugh out loud when the video ended, but he controlled his emotions and immediately sent the clip to Robert Sterling's phone. And then sent him a message containing Aaron Stone's information.
"Your little brother is coming for your life and the lives of everyone in your Family. What will you do now?"
Mikael put the phone back in the System Inventory, under the guise of putting it in his pocket, and then walked towards the hall where the buffet was organised.
He happily picked up a plate, selected some delicacies, and then walked towards the table where his mother, cousin, and wife were sitting.
"Hey," He greeted them, and they immediately noticed his bright mood.
"Did something good happen?" Anaiah curiously asked.
"Of course. Didn't I win the Galaxy Hotel and Casino?"
"For nearly 90 Million more than the market value!" She rolled her eyes. "Where did you get this much money from anyway? You have already spent around 580 Million Draks, and Raeya tells me that you still have properties that you plan on securing."
"Just some small investments that paid off very well." He grinned, and all three of them dumbly looked at him.
"Seriously?" Raeya asked him in disbelief.
"Yup." He smiled at her, and all three of them felt dizzy.
"You call them small investments?" Anaiah was seriously feeling lightheaded now. "Tell me, where did you invest the money?" She hopefully asked.
"Those investments have already burnt out. I will tell you when I spot something good again."
"You promise?"
"Silly girl, do I need to promise such a small thing to you?" He helplessly shook his head and she giggled.
"Okay. I will wait for you to help me make lots and lots of money."
"Done."
Whilst the Zaraynes were happily chatting over the meal, on the other side of the city, inside a lavishly decorated office, Robert Sterling's face was pale and his body was shaking uncontrollably.
"Robert, what's wrong?" A lady entered the office carrying some files and panicked when she saw him in this state. "Robert, Robert!" She shook him, and just when she was about to pick up a phone and call the medics, her boss and lover grabbed her hand and stopped her.
"John's dead, Heather. He was killed..."
As soon as the woman heard his words, the face of her eldest crossed her mind, and then she staggered and fell unconscious.
Robert caught her in time, but he was feeling weak as well.
The video he had received and the information about Aaron, sent shivers up his spine.
He wanted to get up and put bullets in the heads of the men who had let this little evil slip through their hands all those years ago.
They lied to him that he was dead. And now, his retribution had come knocking on his door, having already claimed the life of his son.
With great difficulty, he picked up the woman in his arms and put her down on the couch. Then, he returned to his table and picked up the phone.
"Who are you?" He sent the message to the weird number "88888888", but received no reply.
Robert then contacted one of his most trusted men, and he assigned him a task.
"Find me all the information about the relationship between Aaron Stone and Alexander Albonn. Do it as soon as possible."
"Yes, Boss!"
After the call ended, he made another call, which was picked up on the last ring.
"Yes?"
"Old man, I have decided to cash in the debt you owe me." Robert straightforwardly spoke, and there was silence on the other end.
"What can I do for you?"
"There's an evil spawn that wants to kill me and my family, Old Man. He's 27 years old, an Auror at the Peak of the 6th Martial Realm. He's an Esper as well, and in dire situations, he can temporarily unleash combat power equivalent to that of an Auror in the early stage of Spirit Manifestation Realm. A highly trained Mercenary, a Soldier King of the Royal Armed Forces. He's also the Disciple of the retired Major General, Bai Yuan."
After he finished speaking, there was a long pause on the other end.
"This goes beyond what I owe you, Kid."
"Can you help me out or not?"
"There will be a price."
"What?"
"1 Billion Draks."
Robert frowned at the number but agreed without any hesitation.
"You will get it once the threat has been eliminated."
"That's fine. I have an old debt to settle with Old Bai. Killing his Disciple will make me very happy."
The Sterling felt chills run up his spine as he heard the old man manically laughing on the other end, and he quickly dropped the call.
Sorting out his thoughts, he took a deep breath and then checked the messages again.
There was still no reply from the 88888888.
However, one thing was certain. Whoever sent him the video and the information, was Aaron's enemy.
And Robert knew that the person was planning on killing the evil spawn with a borrowed knife.
However, he really and no other choice than to go all out to protect himself and his family.
He picked up the phone again and made another call.
"I need you to use all your resources and trace a number."
"Sure, what's the number?"
"88888888."
"Huh?"
"That's the number."
"I will look into it." The man didn't sound sure, and Robert could already feel that there would be no result.
"Who are you?" He whispered after the call ended, speaking to himself.
