Skylar replied, “You know Nimrod, there is a whole wide world out there and besides, your family is
only the third most powerful family in the city. Now, you may think that your family is powerful, but the
truth is, I can destroy you without even blinking. Everyone loves an underdog story, but in the end, it’s
all just fantasy, so don’t assume that you mean anything at all.”
That statement was insulting to Nimrod and the others. If he was to make that statement moments ago,
they would have been fuming with rage. However, not only were they not complaining, they seemed to
agree with everything he said then.
Since it was Leon’s seventieth birthday then, Skylar decided not to pursue this matter further. So, he

behind.
Meanwhile, the other people who were following behind Skylar were all reflecting over what he said
earlier.
He’s able to destroy the Belmont family without even blinking? I wonder just how truly terrifying of a
man Skylar really is!
Meanwhile, both Leon and Madam Sue were seated next to each other around the living room table.
They were accompanied by Charles, Caleb, and Lincoln at the moment and seemed to be oblivious
about what had happened earlier as Charles and Caleb were trying their hardest to butter up Homer
and Brad. The duo could be considered as the most honorable guests they had ever hosted.
“Grandpa!” Suddenly, a childish voice could be heard approaching them as Lola ran toward the living
room before diving into Leon’s arms while saying, “I missed you, grandpa!”
“Whoa, slow down there, darling,” said Skylar as he entered the living room with Yulia.
Leon’s heart was melted by Lola’s charm. However, before he could say anything, Charles exclaimed,
“Where did this b*stard child come from! How dare she cause such a ruckus while there are honored
guests here! So, is this how you raise your daughter, Yulia? How insolent. You should’ve never given
birth to her four years ago!” Charles glared at Lola as soon as he finished ranting.
Both Homer and Brad were horrified when Charles said that as they wondered if there was something

As soon as Brad snapped out from his shock, he immediately questioned Charles. “Do you have a
death wish, Charles?”
Homer continued, “I’ll send you to your maker right now, if that’s what you wanted!”
Their reactions immediately stunned Charles as he was confused about what was going on since they
were so friendly just moments ago. He could not understand what angered them that much.
Although Caleb was also a little confused, he decided to break the tension by saying, “Please excuse
my brother. He only raised his voice because he’s worried that the b*stard child might have accidentally
offended you earlier. You know, my niece, Yulia, got pregnant while she was still studying. She refused
to tell us who the father was and was adamant in keeping the child. This ruined our family’s reputation.
My brother’s reaction is justified because he is concerned about our family’s future. Our family’s
reputation might be ruined even more if that b*stard child was to grow up to be like her mother.”
