Chapter
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, saying 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 and dignified, giving off an air
reminiscent of a sharp blade, making one unable to look him in the eye. The woman beside him was dressed in red
and equally outstanding. She was beautiful, elegant, and looked powerful.

“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
favor. The five wealthiest families in Millsburg were known as the Fabulous Five, but there were three other families
even more powerful than them–the Tremendous Three. The Grant family was one of them. If the Hummer family
could form an alliance with the Grant family through Joshua’s marriage with Jade, they’d have a bright future
ahead!
“Dad, why did you summon me home so urgently? Joshua asked when they were all in the car. He’d just completed
his refinement the night before when he’d been told to return immediately.
“I hate to say this, but Swinton has a new kid on the block. He’s powerful beyond our expectations and has
defeated all my men. Our family’s been having a tough time recently because of him. I had no choice but to
summon you home.” Edwin sighed, looking helpless.
“Exactly! You have no idea how obnoxious he is, Joshua. He even beat me up on my birthday over the smallest
things!” Tina started to complain. “Look at what he did to my arm–I’ve yet to fully recover! I’ve never been
treated like this in my life. You have to get back at him for me!”
“Who is this guy? How dare he bully a member of the Hummer family!” Joshua’s face darkened, and a

menacing aura surrounded him.
“His name is Dustin Rhys, and he’s not someone to be taken lightly,” Edwin said. “He also has the Harmon family
backing him up.” Edwin said.
“The Harmon family?” Jade chuckled lightly. “They’re only one of the Fabulous Five–they don’t hold much

“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 are 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.
