“We're going to Unholy Valley now,” Rhett demanded.

“Yes, sir!”

The mention of that place quickly returned Jared to his senses.

“Rhett, my brother, please let me off,” he begged, kneeling before the new head of the family in tears. “I haven't

even gotten married or had children yet. I can't die right now. I'm begging you!”

Rhett scoffed in response. “Sorry, but I can't go against the Great Marshal's orders.”

“No, I can explain! The truth is I have a substitute who looks just like me, but the Great Marshal can't tell the

difference between us since he's barely met me. You can summon my substitute and have him die in my place,

Rhett. This is my final wish. Get someone to bring my substitute here!”

Hearing that, Rhett turned to his father, seeking the latter's opinion.

Yet, Logan kept his gaze out the window, ignoring Rhett.

From that, the younger man knew that his father had given up on Jared.

What a pity, Jared. Dad would've probably still tried to help you if you hadn't hit him. That's what you get for being

such an ingrate. There's no point keeping you alive now.

Discerning his father's resolve, Rhett gave Jared a pat on the shoulder. “Bow to me, Jared, so that I can forgive you.

That way, I'll feel better.”

“Of course! Right away!”

Jared couldn't contain his joy. So, he'll forgive me as long as I bow down to him?

Who would be concerned with one's own dignity in the face of death?

Yet, as soon as Jared fell to his knees and placed his head on the ground, Rhett took out a gun and fired a bullet at

the former's head.

Following a loud bang, Jared fell into a pool of his own blood.

The bullet had penetrated his skull and embedded itself into the car.

As he took his last breath, Jared glared at his brother in fury.

He had been tricked.

Yet, there was nothing else that could be done, for his fate had been decided the moment he invoked the Great

Marshal's wrath.

Linton Group remained dead silent long after Rhett and Logan had left.

All the staff members were still reeling from the shock of what had just happened and couldn't believe it was real.

At that very moment, Zeke let out a cough. “What are you guys still standing around for? Get back to work.”

Hearing that, everyone jolted back to reality and returned to their tasks.

Even so, they couldn't settle down, still processing what Zeke had just done.

Did our boss acquire the entire Mitxel family—the richest family in the world—just like that? Without even having to

pay a single cent? You're insane, Mr. Williams, but that's exactly why you're the best. We'll stay with you for the rest

of our lives!

It wasn't long until Lacey returned.

Given it was Linton Group's first day resuming operations, she had busied herself with dropping by every factory to

give all its staff members a morale boost.

“What's going on here, Zeke? Something doesn't seem right,” the woman questioned upon seeing her husband.

Zeke smiled at her. “What do you mean something doesn't seem right?”

“We're supposed to be doing our best to defend ourselves against Intercontinental Group during this time, but why

do they seem so quiet now? Also, there's something I kept hearing from those passing by the entrance. People are

saying that Linton Group's about to become the richest corporation in the world. What's going on?”

The man chuckled in response. “Let me answer your first question. Intercontinental Group's gone broke now. They

can't afford to fight us anymore.”
