But no one came out. The heavy downpour pelted mercilessly and spattered on Decker’s head and


    face, stinging his skin and soaking him to the bone. The cold drops ran down his cheeks, taking with it


    his bitter tears.


    The professor sadly watched the boy through the window that night as he vented out his frustration to


    the night sky. Despite the threat, the professor eventually helped Decker anyway. He managed to enroll


    Decker into a private high school that was founded by one of the professor’s friends.


    Most of the students of that school were the ones whose scores had been at the bottom in the high


    school entrance examination. Even its best students merely had a score of around 300, ranking in the


    middle at most.


    After entering high school, Decker started to hide his true self. He slept in sses. His marks ranked at


    the bottom of the ss. He did nothing but gang up.


    Everybody thought he was a little punk. This was the only way that he could finally have some peace in


    his life.


    Even so, a man had been stalking him for the past few years, and Decker knew it. One day near his


    graduation, he followed the man and found out that his boss was a gray-haired older man.


    After he graduated from high school, he learned that the older man was in fact, Elroy, his foster parent


    that dumped him.


    One night as Decker became more vignt and capable, he put a knife at the throat of one of Elroy’s


    bodyguards. The bodyguard told him that the older man was Decker’s grandfather. He also said that


    Elroy had another bodyguard watch his mother to stop her from ever meeting him.


    As Decker grew up, his force became stronger. To prevent Elroy from finding out, he only fostered his


    force in secret, and he always used his alias Eckerd in public instead of his real name Decker.

    Then one day, he met Debbie.


    It was an evening when a pale and desperate Debbie came knocking on his door. When Decker


    opened the door and stared at the girl before him, she told him that he was her brother. That she was


    pregnant and homeless and wherever he was also her home.


    Decker had never known that he had a sister, and Debbie’s sudden appearance at his doorstep had


    surprised him. He replied in a devil-may-care tone, “Psycho!” Just like that, he turned and closed the


    door in her face.


    As he thought about all of this, Decker Looked at Debbie and decided to tell her how he had truly felt


    back then.


    “Debbie, remember the first time that we had met? Even though I closed the door on you, I noticed our


    resemnce. However, back then, I couldn’t even protect myself, let alone you and a baby.”

    That was the reason why he refused to let her stay with him. However,


    Debbie was persistent. She kepting back to her brother’s ce until he finally agreed to take her


    in.


    Leaning on Carlos’ shoulder, she stared at Decker with red, teary eyes when she thought about those


    days.


    She considered herself Luckypared to Decker. At least her father had loved her when he was


    alive. After her father had passed away, she met Carlos. He held her dear to his heart, but Decker had


    no one to love and look after him.


    Then Decker went on to exin how he got hurtst time. He had intended to take over Yates’ turf in


    Askor, but Yates found out and hunted him down. One of Yates’ men had stabbed him, and the reason


    why he could enter Champs Bay Apartments was that the guards all worked for him.


    Decker had be a powerful man in Alorith. He told Debbie and Carlos casually, “Next, I’ll take over


    the Loftus Group. Elroy wants to let his youngest son Gus run thepany. He’s grooming him for it,


    but I’m not going to Let him get his wish.”


    Debbie frowned and was worried. She couldn’t help but ask, “You’re a stranger to the Loftus Group.


    They might not even allow you in the building. How can you possibly take over thepany?”


    Decker smiled.


    “Ramona held ten percent of the Loftus Group’s shares, and she gave it to me. Your so-called uncle


    also handed his shares over to me. So I have twenty-five percent of the Loftus Group’s shares now.”


    He then nced at Carlos and asked, “With the twenty-five percent, do you think I could take over the


    company now?”


    Carlos thought about it for a moment and then replied, “I can buy twenty percent of the shares for you.
