Chapter 1011
Blood trickled from the corner of Quinton’s mouth as he spat out a mouthful of it. Picking up his gold-
rimmed sses which had been trampled on, he raised his eyebrows and scoffed at Michael with
disdain. “I said that I wouldn’te back to Cethos and cause trouble, but Cethos is still my home; can’t
Ie back to visit my family asionally?”
Michael grabbed his cor and roughly shoved him out. “Get out of here, and don’t appear in front of me
ever again!”
Quinton slowly straightened his clothes as he gracefully adjusted his gold-rimmed sses. Then, he left
in a taxi.
Stanley was still cursing even after Quinton had left; Michael got someone to drag Stanley away as he
entered Mitchell International Energy and Technology. He wanted to show his youthful face to Cooper—
that old man—and ask him if he still had any conscience left.
However, he was stopped by Dimon just before he reached the door.
“Mr. Cooper’s appointment for today is already full, Mr. Fletcher. Next time, please make an appointment
with him one month in advance.”
Michael red at Dimon before he turned to leave.
I’ll go home and wait for him; that old father-inw of mine has to go back home at some point.
As he turned around, he saw Stanley standing at the entrance and wiping the blood from his nose. He
grabbed onto Michael and pleaded, “Take me to the hospital, Uncle!”
Michael snapped. “Can’t you go by yourself?!”
Stanley stretched out his bloody hand and left a bloody handprint on his white shirt. “How can you be so
heartless, Uncle Michael? I’m your nephew! My grandfather is your uncle! Look here—I was beaten up
so badly, yet you don’t even care about me!”
Michael frowned and muttered, “Get in the car but don’t get it dirty; I still have to pick up your aunt from
work.”
Stanley wiped the blood from his nose and told the Fletcher Family’s men to head back first as he got
into Michael’s car.
After getting into the car, Stanley checked for outsiders before his pitiful expression instantly turned into a
serious look as he took out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Michael.
“Look at this, Uncle Michael—I don’t know when Hope had put this in my pocket.”
Suddenly, Quinton had turned into Hope.
Michael took the note. Along with some of Stanley’s blood were several neatly-written words.
de has arrived in Cethos, and Sophia is his target.
de!
The legendary assassin who ranked second in the world!
His real name was not verifiable, but Cethosians called him de. He ranked second on the ck
market’s killer list, and his capabilities could bepared to Phantom Wolf’s.
However, Phantom Wolf only killed targets; they did not harm innocent individuals and children.
On the other hand, de killed and burned everything he touched—he even killed and raped women
brutally! He was like a monster who devoured everything in viges.
Moreover, Phantom Wolf was an organization, whereas de was a single assassin who fought alone.
de had arrived in Cethos, and he was here for Sophia.
Although de loved to kill, he wouldn’t kill for no reason. Someone must’ve put a bounty on Sophia’s
head!
Michael fell into a deep silence…
Stanley said anxiously, “What are we going to do, Uncle Michael? We should inform Sophia to cancel the
banquet!”
Michael remained silent as he left Stanley at the hospital and told him to wait for his phone call. Then, he
drove over to Plum Technology and waited downstairs for Sophia.
Since Sophia only traveled between thepany and her home, her schedule was quite fixed. With the
Michel and Mitchell Family’s ryed protection, the only ce where de could carry out his n was
at Sophia’s banquet.
Did it mean that Quinton had caught wind of this in advance and came back to Cethos to inform them?
Unfortunately, he did not say anything about who had hired de.
In fact, someone might be monitoring Quinton’s movements.
Sophia had gotten off work early today. As she left thepany, she ran over to Michael’s car happily
and tugged his arm. “Dragon Eye cell phones hit 8 million sales today, hubby. Aren’t I amazing?!”
Michael kissed her and said, “Yeah, my wife is super amazing!”
Then, he drove them back to the Edwards Residence.
Cooper was already home when they got back, and Sophia rushed over excitedly as she said, “We hit 8
million sales today, Dad. Aren’t I amazing?!”
Cooper nodded. “That’s amazing! My daughter is amazing!”
At the same time, Carmen ran out of the house and hugged Michael’s leg. “Daddy, I got a little red flower
in kindergarten today. Aren’t I amazing?!”
Michael also nodded his head and answered, “That’s amazing. My daughter is amazing!”
ncing at Cooper, he saw that thetter was looking his way with an innocent and sincere look; it
seemed like he was not guilty of anything at all.
Hey, doesn’t this old father-inw’s conscience hurt?
No, he has no conscience.
Later that night, the entire family gathered around to watch some TV together as usual. Michael
deliberately sat next to Cooper as he held Chrysanthemum while they watched TV in silence.
Unbeknownst to Cooper, his beloved pet had be Michael’s foot wipe earlier that day.
Michael held two small ck dogs in his arms—a Samoyed and a ck poodle. Both of them had given
birth to a litter of puppies, and they were quite a handful.
Michael and Cooper sat next to each other in silence, and they remained in such a state until family time
came to an end. Even so, Cooper didn’t mention anything about nning a matchmaking event for
Sophia.
After Sophia finished watching ‘I Am The Vige Chief 2’, she took a shower and went to bed with
Carmen. Michael pondered for a while and decided to inform Cooper about the incident today.
“de?”
Cooper and Linus’ hearts trembled when they heard that name.
Michael said grimly, “Many people in the country are willing to pay money just to get rid of Sophia.
Indeed, she has made a lot of enemies this year—not just those who lost during the fight for Dragon
Eye’s management rights, but also those who have a grudge against the Mitchell Family.”
Competition inevitably existed in the business world, and enemies were made in unknown situations;
there was no telling when one’s enemies would strike in the dark.
The identity of the de’s employer was a mystery.
As they talked about de’s appearance, Cooper couldn’t help but look at Linus. He had dealt with
Phantom Wolf back then, and there was a possibility that Linus would have de’s contact too.
Linus shook his head. “de is too difficult to grasp, and I have never dealt with him before.”
Michael continued, “I found a middleman to contact de, offering him a high price to give up his
mission and inform us of his employer. However, it failed. It seems like the employer offered de a very
attractive price for this mission.”
All of a sudden, the atmosphere turned tense. Cooper was silent for a while when he suddenly went into
the study room and called Linus over. After a moment of hesitation, he called Michael in too. After all, his
daughter’s life was the most important.
That night, the three of them ran a background check to find out the identity of the employer behind the
assasination.
Michael eventually said, “If we want to know who had hired de, we must find Quinton! He’d definitely
know something.”
Cooper and Linus were already on the search for Quinton throughout the city as they hacked several
traffic cameras. As soon as Quinton appeared, an alert system would be issued and he would be located
immediately.

However, Michael didn’t believe in such technology; he felt like it was too much hassle. Instead, he knew
of a ce where Quinton would definitely go aftering back to Cethos.
Finding Quinton would naturally lead them to de’s employer!
