Chapter 549


    Looking at Nathan as he slept soundly, the look in Linus’ eyes was doting. I don’t know why, but I like this


    child very much. Perhaps this is fate!


    On the other hand, Sophia was extremely embarrassed. This little brat! Not only did he invite himself


    over for dinner, but he also fell asleep and is refusing to leave! Why is he treating this ce like it’s his


    own house?! It’s bad enough that he came alone, but he also brought the pets along! He might as well


    have dragged the entire family along to mooch a free meal! How embarrassing! Looking at the pets, she


    was faced with another dilemma. How am I going to bring them all back? Just carrying Chrysanthemum


    will be difficult enough for me!


    He seemed to notice her dilemma and said, “I’ll send you back.”

    Working together, they managed to put Nathan on Linus’ back. After that, Linus piggybacked Nathan,


    Sophia followed after him while carrying the cat, and Nichs led the dog on its leash. In that manner,


    the rag-tag bunch returned to Vi No. 8.


    Taking Nathan from Linus, Michael thanked Linus, “Thanks,d. Why don’t youe in and have a


    seat?”


    Linus shook his head. “No need. It’s veryte. You should rest early.”


    Then, Michael carried Nathan inside and watched Linus leave.


    On the way home, Linus thought to himself, Should I upgrade Nichs with a heavy lifting system? Lest


    Nathan falls asleep in some random bush one day and Nichs can’t carry him.


    After Michael took Nathan back, he handed the sleeping child over to the nanny to take care of. On the


    other hand, Sophia went back into the study and busied herself with her fangirling activities. Since her


    identity as Taylor’s wife was exposed, various media and newspapers were asking for her contact


    information to interview her.


    However, Sophia had no interest in being interviewed. Rather, she epted an offer from a publisher to


    publish a book. The book would be about her emotional journey as the wife of a Best Actor Award


    winner, some suggestions and thoughts on the protection of minors, as well as her experience and first-


    hand insight into her student life as the campus belle and top student of Bayside University.


    Therefore, she had been racking her brains over the past few days to squeeze out the words. At the


    same time, she had to monitor the ticket sales of ‘Doctor Invincible’ and make arrangements for the


    cured meat she had left. Hence, she was extremely busy.


    Meanwhile, Nichs withdrew its hands and legs back into itself, then folded itself into a cylindrical


    shape. Even the antenna was kept away as it plugged itself into a socket at a corner of the study to


    charge its batteries.


    Wary of Nichs, Michael waited until it turned itself off to charge its batteries. Then, he went into the


    basement to look for Abel, who had just returned not too long ago after flying across half the world. He


    had organized a search and capture operation. However, he still failed to capture Phantom Wolf’s


    leader. My guess was right after all. Previously, Stanley had broken the manhood of Phantom Wolf’s


    leader. After that, Phantom Wolf’s leader had searched the world for the leading andrology doctors to


    treat his manhood.


    The doctor Natasha had invited over to treat James was rather lucky. Not only had he managed to


    escape, but he had also been ced under high-priority protection recently.


    In recent years, Abel had thrown himself into searching for Phantom Wolf’s leader. He had no personal


    life, no rest, no holidays, much less time to start a family. Thus, he started working as soon as he got


    home. This time around, he felt that something was amiss the moment he came back.


    Hence, he hurriedly reported to Michael, “Gemma and I have both detected unknown signals being


    transmitted out of the house. Unfortunately, we could not intercept them. You have to be careful of any


    devices of unknown origins in your house.”


    The first thing that came to Michael’s mind was the items that Linus had given to them. After all, Linus


    was an expert in this field. It would be a piece of cake for him to temper with the items, and there was no


    way to prevent it from happening. Besides, they were amateurs—they did not stand a chance against


    him. Notably, that robot might look adorable and sound sweet while it called him ‘Dad’, but the fact


    remained that it wasn’t human. Who knows what is hidden in its programming?


    Abel had been away for some time. So, he was unaware of what had happened back home. Therefore,


    Michael exined, “Recently, Linus moved into thismunity. During that time, many devices that were


    personally programmed by him had been added to the house. For that reason, I told Gemma to create a


    shielding device so that they cannot detect the signalsing from the basement.”


    Abel frowned in disbelief. “Linus Michel?”


    In response, Michael nodded in affirmation. Following that, he recounted everything that had happened


    recently to Abel.


    When Abel finished listening to the story, his scowl deepened. His entire being seemed to be grim


    as he gravely said to Michael, “Linus is not as simple as he seems. He and Fass practically monopolize


    the power of the Michel Family. Over the past few years, several conservative and traditionalist founding


    members of both the Michel Group and the Michel Family have died unnaturally.


    I suspect that they were involved. Besides, I heard that Fass is only in his early thirties while Linus is only


    in his early twenties. For the two brothers to hold so much power despite their age, their hands must be


    stained with countless lives. I’m sure you’re aware of that too…”


    ording to Abel’s investigation, Linus was known as the world’s most eligible bachelor and a well-


    known phnthropist. Regardless of how harmless he might appear on the surface, the methods he


    employed in secret were so outrageous that they made one’s blood run cold.


    Michael didn’t need Abel to tell him—he was already aware of the means Linus employed. Not long ago,


    he had investigated the recent living situation of the four surviving members of the Johnson Family. They


    had ended up as sex ves at a high-end private club in Europe. Furthermore, all their teeth had been


    removed and their skin had been bleached—they were reduced to nothing but sex ves used by the


    wealthy to satisfy their curiosity and thirst for novelty. That was a fate worse than death…


    Many private clubs across Europe were filled with deviant novelty attractions. However, the mastermind


    behind the scenes all pointed to a mysterious person. And, that person was Linus Michel. Additionally, he


    was the overlord of the European underground world as well as the demon king of the night. Not only


    was he powerful and capable, but he was also cold-blooded and cruel.


    Just by investigating him, Michael was terrified of him. There was only one difference between Linus and


    Phantom Wolf—Phantom Wolf killed openly while Linus killed in secret. Unfortunately, I invited such a


    dangerous person into my house myself. I’m terrified that I would lose everything—from my child to my


    wife to my soul.


    The more Michael learned about Linus, the more he regretted his actions back then. Why did I let the


    wolf in? No, Linus is no wolf. A wolf would have some form of weakness. More importantly, it wouldn’t


    dare to stand alone. Rather, Linus is akin to an evil dragon with no weaknesses! The Michel Family has


    always been an evil dragon hovering over Eastern Europe throughout history, and now, it has extended


    its deadly ws toward Cethos. It was to the point where he wanted to give up investigating Linus and


    Fass. Likewise, he never wanted to let Sophia know about her rtionship with Linus.


    The Mitchell Family were ruthless—their callousness was etched deep into their bones. To them, lovers


    and family were nothing more than bargaining chips for them to gain more power. Each and every one of


    them was a cold-hearted monster—would they care about a sister and a daughter they had never met in


    20 years? Sophia hopes to find her biological father… but what if, in the end, all she found was a power-


    obsessed monster with no feelings? Linus is more terrifying than Phantom Wolf. Unfortunately, Michael


    felt that he was already riding the horns of a grave dilemma…


    Late at night, X hid in a motel room, all alone. The cramped room smelled of instant noodles,


    dampness, and rancidity. Moreover, the abysmal heating system worked sporadically. Hiding under the


    covers, she shivered uncontrobly from the cold. At this moment, the Huff Family’spany and


    residence had been blocked by debtors and her parents were still in the intensive care unit at the


    hospital—their lives hanging in the bnce.


    None of the rtives and friends that used to try and curry favor from her were willing to lend her a hand.


    Therefore, she did not dare to return to the Huff Residence nor the Harper Residence. Ever since the


    Huffs had gotten into trouble, the disgusting true colors of the Harper Family were quickly revealed. In


    particr, Mrs. Harper constantly made things difficult for her over trivial matters. Not even in her wildest


    dreams had she ever dreamed that she would be in the state she was in today!
