Chapter 4
“Don, it’s Dion Pearson who instructed me to pick you up!”
Floyd explained quickly, noticing Anthony’s gaze fixed on him. He didn’t want to give Anthony the wrong impression.
Dion Pearson!
Dion was the leader of the Roar Gang and rightfully the top dog in the underworld of Aurillo Country
In the underworld, Dion was a man who commanded the utmost respect from all who knew of his power.
Every alpha in every city idolized Dion.
However, that dude got too cocky and did something he shouldn’t have, so he ended up getting locked up in Stellar Prison,
Dion had no advantage there and endured a lot of bullying, but Anthony stepped up and gave him a hand
“Don’t Don me. It sounds so creepy. Call me Mister. Anthony By the way, what’s the situation at the airport today?”
Anthony didn’t mind it when the prisoners called him like that.
Yet it was embarrassing g when outsiders referred to him that way,
- ay. He would rather be called Mister Anthony
Anthony knew his return to Novaria City was public knowledge, and there would be people like Floyd, who were interested in meeting
“Mister. Anthony, it was bustling at the airport today. The big wheels from all over Nowaria City were there, but they weren’t as lucky as me to meet you first. However, I’m sure news about your return will spread like wildfire soon,”
Floyd said confidently.
He was proud of his ability to find people in Novaria City, which surpassed those of other big wheels.
Floyd was the first among them to meet Anthony, and that was something to brag about.
Floyd believed that as long as he behaved well, he could certainly leave a good impression on Anthony.
“Floyd. I know you have your ways. Please inform those people not to bother me today”
Anthony just wanted to go one and spel some quality time with his mother. He would handle the socializing later.
“Understood, Mister. Anthony, I’ll let them know right away. Hayd replied excitedly
He felt honored to be Anthony’s representative. His social status in Novaria City would rise significantly because of it
A number of big shots had already gone to Leah’s place, parking their luxurious cars and waiting there.
But they didn’t dare to disturb Leah for fear of annoying Anthony
“What’s going on? Why are there so many fancy cars in this normally quiet neighborhood”
“I heard that a big shot is coming. Do you see that car? It belongs to the highest officer in the political circles”
“Wow, who could that person be? Do we have someone that powerful in our neighborhood?”
The residents gathered at the entrance, curious to see who had such clout.
The first person to receive a call was Samuel Kaiser, the highest officer in the political circles of Novaria City. He said something over the phone before hanging up.
“Let’s go back home for now. Don doesn’t want to be disturbed.”
Samuel’s voice sounded disappointed. He had hoped to make acquaintance with the big shot and propel his career further.
However, judging from the current situation, Samuel realized that he had to wait patiently if he wanted to meet the big shot.
The other big wheels had no choice but to listen to Samuel, believing that good things would come to those who waited.
Soon, all the luxury cars left the neighborhood.
And calm returned as the rubberneckers dispersed.
Chapter 4
Shortly after, a Buick commercial vehicle stopped, and Anthony stepped out.
Looking at the stubby neighborhood, Anthony couldn’t help but bitterly smile.
In order to keep Anthony’s identity hidden after he was expelled from the Garza family with Leah, he arranged for someone to assist Leah in finding a new place to live.
He walked heavily to condo number 302, feeling burdened by his situation.
After hesitating for a moment, Anthony knocked on the door.
I’ve signed the list. What else do you want?”
The familiar voice echoed from within, and the door was opened.
The beautiful face of Leah came into Anthony’s view, but she looked visibly aged.
She must have gone through the most in those three years.
“Mom, I’m back
Although Anthony had a thousand things to say to Leah, he squeezed out just that one sentence in the end.
When Leah saw her boy, her eyes welled up with tears.
She had been waiting three long years for that moment, and it had brally arrived
Anthony…
Leah trembled as she called out her son’s name, and then she enveloped him in a tight hug.
“Sorry, Mom, I know I’ve been a huge burden on you these last three years?
“It’s all good now. You’re back! Let me have a good gander at you
Leah let go of Anthony and scrutinized his face closely
“You’re darker, thinner, but also more ripped. Come on Let’s get inside”.
With that, she pulled Anthony into the house.
It was a one–bedroom condo of just over fifty square meters. At the time, the cramped living room was filled with various valuable gifts.
Upon seeing this, Anthony furrowed his brow and asked, “Mom, what’s going on? And earlier you said you had signed something. What list did you
“Well, people from the Morales family came and brought these wedding gifts. They had also given us a suite in Glorious Residence. They had stared that the previous engagement still stood, so once you had returned, you would have your wedding hekl. Anthony, you don’t blame me, do you?”
Leah felt that she had been a bit arbitrary by making a decision without Anthony’s consent, as marriage was a big event in his life, after all.
How could Anthony blame her? He immediately took out the Marriage Certificate from his pocket and said, “Mom, let me introduce you to your daughter–in–lawf
If it weren’t for Leah, he wouldn’t have agreed so readily to marry Elisa.
Lead was stunned for a moment, as she hadn’t expected her son to return as a married man.
She wondered how Elisa looked, so she googled Elisa’s name.
Upon seeing Elisa’s picture online, Leah was taken aback.
Even if Leah had gone back twenty years and reached the peak of her own beauty, it seemed that she still wouldn’t be able to compete with her daughter bn–law in terms of looks.
However, recalling the words of the middle–aged man from earlier, Leah began to feel sorry for Elisa.
“Son, no matter why she chose to marry you, you must treat her well. Do you understand“”
“Yes, Mom, I understand. By the way, we’re meeting the Morales family tonight at 6 pm at Medallion Hotel. Elisa’s family will be there!”
Anthony suddenly remembered Elisa’s words and quickly informed Leah.
His intention was to prompt Leah to prepare herself because the occasion was quite formal
Chapter 4
“What? Are you afraid that I can’t handle it?” Leah chuckled. Im a refined lady and have experienced such gatherings before. Are you hungry? make you some food. Just take a bath and rest for a while!”
Leah then went to the kitchen to start preparing the meal,
down on the couch with his phone.
Following Leah’s advice, Anthony headed to the washroom to take a shower and then lay down on
After sending a few messages, the phone began to ring.
The incoming call displayed a local number, composed of consecutive digits, which left an impressive impression
Anthony’s mouth quirked into a smile as he answered the phone.
“Hello, Don. My name is Derrick Elliott, and I’m a business partner of Mr. Sonny Romero. I heard that you returned to Novaria City today, but I wasn’t able to pick you up at the airport. Mr. Romero instructed me to properly receive you. Would you mind telling me where you are right now! I’ll pick you up immediately.”
Sonny Romero was an economic criminal who had embezzled billions, resulting in his being imprisoned in Stellar Prison.
Sonny was of a deceitful nature and had been bullied while in prison. Anthony had helped Sonny a few times, and as a result, Sonny was immensely grateful to Anthony.
Sonny had informed Derrick of Anthony’s return to Novania City
Derrick was one of the wealthiest businessmen in Novaria City, and he had long desired to meet Anthony, a prominent figure. Hence, Derrick disregarded Samuel’s advice and decided to contact Anthony directly,
“Derrick Elliott? Are you the owner of Medallion
Upon hearing Derrick’s name. Anthony felt a sense of f
Familiarity
Subsequently, he remembered that he was meeting the Morales family at the same hotel that evening. Thus, he connected the dots and asked.
“Yes, what can I do for you?
Derrick quickly replied.
Although he was the wealthiest individual in Novarià Giry, he knew he was nothing in front of Diom.
Sonny had repeatedly urged him to establish a good relationship with Anthony
“Aye, you need not address me with such reverence. I’m no longer in prison. Call me Mister. Anthony. I’ll dine at your place tonight. If there is an opportunity, perhaps we can meet lace to face.
Upon completing the conversation, Anthony ended the call.
“Who was on the phone! It’s time for lunch
“Oh, just a friend! Let’s eat. It’s been too long since I’ve had your cooking. What a joyous occasion!”
No matter how great Anthony was he was always a child in the eyes of his mother
They went to a dining room and had their first lunch together in three years.
They chatted about many things, but Leah did not ask a single question regarding Anthony’s life in prison.
Three years had passed, and it had all seemed like a dream.
They chatted throughout the afternoon, and before they knew it, it was already five o’clock
“Mom, it’s almost time. Shall we start preparing to head out?”
Anthony planned to take Leah to the mall to buy her some decent attire. He did not want to be looked down upon by the Morales family.
Leah understood her son’s intentions. She smiled and said, “Anthony, I’m still a lady of elegance. I’ve been there before. You need not worry me. I am well–prepared. Wait a moment while I change my clothes, and then we shall leaver
Shortly after, Leah emerged from her room, wearing a classic dress.
The dress was out of date, but her beauty and grace could easily outshine those of renowned celebrities
“Now you can see your mother is a man–killer in her youth, huh?”
Anthony felt a sense of awe at the sight of his mother. “Mother, you look stunning. Now I have both the prettiest woman in this city!”

Both mother and son laughed at the lighthearted banter. They hailed a cab and headed toward Medallion Hotel
Meanwhile, Derrick rushed to Medallion Hotel, not wanting to miss the opportunity to meet Don
He immediately summoned the executives of the restaurant to his office and showed them the photos of Anthony that Sonny had sent him.

Derrick emphasized the importance of the opportunity to meet Anthony, and he could only rely on his team to make it happen.
