1 kicked Mason square in the back, slamming him facedown on the floor and pinning him beneath my foot.
“Mom, don’t let this idiot get to you. He’s not worth it. Just leave him to me-I have my own ways to deal with him.”
I turned to the guards and ordered them to drag the two of them away.
Then I leaned in close to my mom, pouting. “Mom, my face really hurts… Will you come with me to get it treated?”
That finally snapped her out of it. She gently brushed her fingers over my injured cheek and accompanied me to the
hospital.
The top dermatologists and plastic surgeons in the city gathered in the treatment room. After disinfecting my wounds.
they held a consultation to determine the best course of treatment, ensuring that no scars would be left behind.
Once the plan was set, the crowd slowly dispersed, leaving just my mother and me in the hospital room.

mother.
But that also made her his greatest weakness.

I hadn’t even turned one yet. I later heard from the older people who stayed by my mom’s side that it it hadn’t been for
me, she would’ve gone with him.
For my sake, she pulled herself out of that grief. She disbanded my father’s gang and handpicked the smartest and most business-savvy among them, helping them start companies.
She knew that too much attention brought trouble, so she kept a low profile and never appeared in the media. She made sure no one ever targeted me again.

The truth was, my mother had helped build all three of Asteria City’s top financial empires-something only a very few
