Dorodo’s east suburban villa area.
The villa area was a famous wealthy suburb in Dorodo. People who could afford a villa there were either Dorodo’s famous wealthy businessmen or a noble.
Three middle-aged men sat on leather couches in the living room of a luxury villa near the center of the villa area.
One of them was a man with a stubbly square-shaped face, whose appearance would have given anyone the impression that he was a man of integrity.
This man was Elijah, the patriarch of the Walker family.
Though the second man was middle-aged, he was fashionably dressed. He wore a loose floral shirt and light green shorts, making him look carefree.
This man was Cole, the patriarch of the Stewart family.
The third man looked ordinary. Nothing seemed special about him, but his sharp gaze and slight authority showed he was extraordinary.
He was Dylan, the patriarch of the Lambert family-one of Dorodo’s top five families.
Other than the patriarch of the Wosh family, Benedict, and the head of the Montana family, Monica, the other head of the top five families gathered here.
A newspaper published that morning was on the glass coffee table in front of them.
The front page of the newspaper carried a full-page article with the headline, “Taquila Jagoan, Savior of the poor!”
Elijah looked calmly at Cole and said, “Commander-in-chief Jagoan is trying to benefit Dorodo’s poor. We can’t stand in his way.”
