The floor was a mess, and there was a broken cell phone on the floor.
Xavi removed his tie, stood in front of the French window with his arms in akimbo, and took a deep
breath.
“This is f*cking ridiculous!”
His father had not called to ask about him–all he was worried about was his brother‘s reputation.
His secretary carefully cleaned up the mess on the floor and placed everything back on the desk.
Xavi turned and looked at the secretary.
“Notify Mr. Lestrange to come and see me, now.”
At Neste District...
The villas located on the hillside were scattered and dense, and the terrain was very high.
Standing on the rooftop, one could overlook the buildings under the hillside and the skyscrapers located
in the city center in the distance.
Sitting in front of the coffee table on the rooftop, Nollace picked up the teacup, meticulously scrutinized
its color and smell, took a sip, and enjoyed the taste of the tea.
He was wearing a very simple–looking, clean, white cotton and linen shirt. The fabric looked very
ordinary, as if it was old clothes that had been washed many times, and the rough needlework and
threads were already protruding.
But even though it was such an ordinary attire, when it was on Nollace‘s body, it still could not hide his
noble aura.
A teenager about his age walked up to the coffee table with a bag full of beer and sat down. His father
then brought a few dishes to the table. “Hede, make sure you treat your friends well, don‘t be lazy.”
After saying so to his son, he smiled at Nollace and said, “Nolly, if there‘s anything that you want to eat,
just let Hedeon know. Make yourself at home.”
Nollace nodded.
After his father left, Hedeon opened a can and gulped some beer to calm himself down. “I must‘ve lost
my mind when I chose to threaten the Livingstons with you. Will they kill me because of this?”
Nollace chuckled. “I won‘t let them locate you. You don‘t have to worry about that.”
Hedeon leaned forward and asked, “Then... Bro, can you teach me some hacking techniques ? The way
you operated the other day looked really cool.”
He responded with a faint hum. “Come to Yaramoor and look for me when you graduate from college. I‘ll
teach you when the time comes.”
The corner of Hedeon‘s lips twitched.
‘He‘s about the same age as me, but he looks more mature than I am. Is it because he‘s already gone to
college while I‘m still struggling in high school?‘
Nollace‘s phone screen lit up, and Hedeon‘s keen eyes shifted over onto the screen saver and saw that it
was a photo of a girl. “Bro, is that your girlfriend?”
Nollace did not even lift his head. “Yeah. When you get to meet her in the future, you should address her
as your sister–in–law.”
Hedeon was bewildered . “But I‘m about the same age as you.”
Nollace asked in reply, “Aren‘t you the one who started calling me your bro first?”
Hedeon was at a loss for words.
‘This guy from Yaramoor is really good when it comes to taking advantage of me. I call him brother only
because I‘m trying to be polite, but that‘s made me his younger brother now?‘
Nollace drank the beer slowly and glanced at him. He had only known Hedeon for a week, and he had
chosen him because he was dumb and simple but also extremely reliable.
Unlike himself, he had a distinct personality and was very high spirited, just like everyone who was at this
age. He was obviously a rookie but also very loyal when things got real.
Being with Hedeon, he did not need to be on guard all the time, and the simplicity that he exuded felt
very similar to that of Daisie‘s.
He did not have siblings, so it was interesting to get himself a younger brother to play with.
“Bro, how can you be sure that they won‘t hand the video over to the police?” Hedeon rolled some ramen
with his fork and gobbled it up.
Nollace lowered his gaze. “Vice President Livingston won‘t do so, but Elder Master Livingston might.”
Hedeon froze in place, and his confident expression shattered in an instant.
Nollace glanced at him and gave off a pregnant smirk.“ Everything depends on whether Mr. Livingston
will go against his father.”
Xavi Livingston was the last person to see me before I disappeared. So even though Elder Master
Livingston may not feel that I can threaten the Livingstons, it‘s a different story to Xavi.‘
