Book:A King Reborn in Shadows Published:2024-7-26

“Lilia, Braiden?” Frederick was a bit puzzled.
Maximo’s eyes flashed with fierceness. “That’s right! Didn’t they make Rose suffer miserably?”
“Especially Braiden, the Swanson family almost went bankrupt, losing over fifty billion in market value.”
“He must hate Rose to death.”
“I plan to join forces with him and set a grand trap to eliminate Rose and Flynn in one go!”

“Maximo is vengeful and will definitely retaliate. You are in the open while he is in the dark, making the situation more dangerous.”
“Ms. Sharp, you must be extremely careful,” Kendal said calmly.
Rose’s eyes were indifferent, with a hint of anger in her voice. “Thank you, second in command.”
“But you’ve already fallen out with Maximo. Your followers have defected to his side; you should worry about your own situation!”
She couldn’t help but find Kendal amusing.
Clearly defeated and disgraced, with only Jada left among her followers.
Yet Kendal still put on an air of superiority in front of her. For whom?
Who still takes you seriously?
The more Rose thought about it, the angrier she became.
She shouldn’t have pinned her hopes on Kendal, making herself look like a fool doing useless work every day.
Kendal also sensed Rose’s displeasure and said earnestly:
“I did have some personal motives before and didn’t pay much attention to your matters. From now on, I will help you properly.”
Rose shook her head with a bitter smile:
“Second in command, haven’t you seen the current situation?”
“We’ve already fallen out with Maximo. He is now widely supported while you are isolated.”
“You can’t even protect yourself; how can you help me?”
“Can’t protect myself?” Kendal sneered.
“Do you think my confidence comes only from a few followers?”
“You underestimate me too much!”
She shook her head and elegantly took a sip of water.
Jada said indifferently: “The deputy leader has six sisters in martial arts; Molly is the youngest, and the deputy leader ranks third. The eldest and second sisters are both Grandmasters.”
“This is the deputy leader’s true strength!”
Rose was slightly stunned upon hearing this.
She didn’t expect Kendal to have two Grandmaster sisters.
“I will call my sisters to come over. Once they arrive in Niarak, even Maximo will have to bow his head!”
“I can also ask my second sister to protect you,” Kendal glanced at Rose and said.
Rose chuckled coldly:
“Then I wish the second in command success in seizing power. As for protecting me, thanks but no thanks!”
After saying that, Rose turned to Flynn and said:
“There are still things to handle at the company; let’s go.”
Protection?
She now had Great Grandmaster Flynn; why would she need a Grandmaster for protection?
Not to mention the temperament of that second sister, just considering Kendal’s opportunistic nature, she probably wanted another hefty protection fee!
Rose had aligned with Kendal to deal with Maximo. Since they failed, there was no need to waste time here.
Flynn also found it boring. He grabbed a couple of sunflower seeds and put them in his pocket, eating as he left the villa.
“What next?” Jada asked.
Kendal sighed: “Let’s wait for my sisters to arrive.”
“But since I’ve promised to help Rose, I will definitely assist her whenever she encounters trouble.”

Flynn and Rose arrived at Orco Real Estate.
“I told you Kendal was unreliable, but you wouldn’t listen!”
“Going around in circles without any real help!” Flynn sat on the sofa discontentedly and glanced at Rose resentfully.
Rose was speechless and couldn’t refute him.
But she felt very aggrieved inside.
She did this to restrain Maximo as well.
Who knew Kendal would be so useless?
“Did you contact anyone about the funding issue we discussed last time?” Rose asked.
Flynn replied: “They will arrive in Niarak tomorrow. We’ll meet then for detailed discussions.”
“Good!” Rose nodded. “Harriet came to me today wanting to resign. Did you know about this?”
Flynn was taken aback and frowned. “Why does she want to resign?”
“I don’t know. I was rushing to Kendal’s villa this morning and told her to wait until I got back.” Rose added after saying this: “Her eyes were red at the time; she must have been crying.”
“Harriet is quite smart; if well-trained, she could take on great responsibilities. She’s currently in the security department; let’s go talk to her.”
“If she insists on leaving, I’ll sign her resignation form.”
Flynn frowned even deeper and headed towards the security department where Stephanie was helping Harriet pack up her things.
“Flynn, today…” Stephanie began but was interrupted by Flynn raising his hand.
“Why do you suddenly want to resign?” he asked Harriet directly.
Harriet lowered her head as tears fell onto the ground.
Flynn’s gaze turned cold as he ordered Stephanie: “You explain!”
“Stephanie, don’t…” Harriet tried to stop her.
Flynn’s expression grew even more serious.
“Harriet, things have come to this point; what’s the use of hiding it?”
“You don’t want to drag Mr. Clark into this? Do you think he won’t care once he knows?” Stephanie rolled her eyes at Harriet before turning back to Flynn:
“Mr. Clark, actually Harriet’s last name isn’t Hamilton; it’s…”
“I know,” Flynn interrupted calmly. “Her last name is Watson. Harriet is Zion Pelens’ illegitimate daughter.”
“Odin already told me last time.”
Flynn looked at Harriet seriously.
Stephanie nodded: “That’s right; Harriet’s biological father is Zion.”
“He has assets worth over ten billion dollars and influence across various fields, ranking first in comprehensive strength. Even Bobby, president of Dragon Creek Society and Pelens’ richest man, has to bow down to him.”
“In Pelens, Zion is like a god!”
“He wants an alliance with the top martial arts family from several southeastern provinces; this will make him even stronger!”
Flynn nodded slightly.
No matter how strong your comprehensive strength or how much power and wealth you have,
Ultimately, what people seek is supreme martial arts prowess.
Earning a billion dollars might get circulated within certain circles,
But having a Great Grandmaster emerge from your clan would make headlines across regions!
Martial arts are an unparalleled tool that trumps all rules!
“Zion values the potential of this top martial arts family because recently another Great Grandmaster emerged from their clan-just over thirty years old with limitless potential!”
“He is hailed as the greatest martial arts prodigy ever! His master is also a legendary figure known throughout Ostrad.”
“Zion wants to establish ties with the Wallace family by acknowledging Harriet as his daughter so she can marry into their family as that prodigy’s tenth concubine!”
Flynn’s face changed dramatically upon hearing this:
“What? The tenth concubine?”
Incredulous rage surged within him as icy glints flashed from his eyes.
Zion had ignored Harriet for twenty years only now coming forward just treating her as nothing more than a tool for marriage alliances!
What kind of beast would do such a thing?
For his own benefit letting his daughter become someone’s tenth concubine?!
“Exactly! Prominent families from southeastern provinces offered their outstanding children for good relations too.”
“In Pelens Zion has only one daughter whom he couldn’t bear marrying off so he came here recognizing Harriet abandoned twenty years ago instead.”
“In five days it’ll be Harriet’s birthday when Zion arrives acknowledging her publicly then she’ll marry into Wallace family from Hussain family going straightaway afterwards!”
The more Flynn listened colder his expression became until finally explosive momentum burst forth overwhelming hostility descending everywhere around them while frost spread wildly within his eyes…
He had known Molly for quite some time now…
This girl wasn’t just Odin’s sister but also one of his subordinates…
Pure-hearted like water kind-hearted lonely self-abased pitifully delicate…
Most importantly genuinely caring deeply about Flynn…
Flynn treated Harriet like his own sister too…
How could he bear seeing Harriet being bullied like this?
Harriet wasn’t livestock!
Nor was she stepping stone for Zion’s climb higher up!
