Episode 4

At that moment, two men exited an elevator into an underground parking lot.

Both men were remarkably tall and handsome, causing passersby walking to their parked cars to stop and stare in their path.

"Oh my."

"Look at those two. Are they celebrities?"

The women in the parking lot gasped loudly and squealed with delight.

One of the men was slightly shorter, by a few centimeters, than the other, and had the face of an angel with bright eyes that made anyone want to befriend him. The other man was the opposite of the cheerful man as he exuded a darker and more dangerous aura from the way he walked and moved.

The man wore a black suit, the tie around his neck floated neatly in front of his chest, and one side of his wine-red handkerchief peeked out from the front chest pocket.

His wickedly handsome face displayed a lazy expression as he headed to his Mercedes-Benz car. Under the fluorescent lights of the parking lot, he was like Grim Reaper parading in front of everyone.

Hearing the murmurs and whispers around him, the man narrowed his eyes but made his way towards his car.

"Maximilian, where are you heading? Can I get a free ride to the company?" The slightly shorter man asked the taller man.

Maximilian glanced at him and tilted his head towards the red sports car next to his Mercedes Benz, "Your car is there."

"But I want you to take me. My feet hurt after running around the city because my mom was chasing me to meet the girl she picked as my dinner date." The shorter man pouted and blinked adorably as if mimicking a puppy.

Usually, his adorable act would move the hearts of several people and they would give in to his whims. Unfortunately, the man he was asking was none other than the third young master of the Silva family, nicknamed as "the Devil" by the people who witnessed how evil and dangerous he was.

As expected, Maximilian slammed the door of his car shut with a loud thud.

"Hey! Don't leave me here!" The shorter man exclaimed and quickly opened the door on the other side. Fortunately, it wasn't locked and he comfortably reclined his back on the soft leather chair.

As the car left the underground parking lot, the shorter man felt suffocated by the silent treatment he was receiving. He decided to lighten the mood and reached over to play some rock music.

Just as he was about to press play, he heard the other's voice speaking to him.

"If you don't want to be thrown out while the car is speeding down the highway, don't touch anything in my car." Maximilian turned his head and gave the other guy a smile that didn't reach his eyes.

Shivering at his smile, Alaric retracted his hand as if he was touching boiling oil in a pan.

"Haha... I thought that maybe you'd want to listen to a song while you're driving..." Alaric chuckled awkwardly and hid his hand safely away.

The suffocating silence returned as the car drove on the unobstructed road and only stopped when the traffic light turned red.

As someone who would rather court death than shut his mouth and die while talking to someone, Alaric opened his mouth to speak.

"Uncle, I heard from my mom that great-grandfather is forcing you to marry someone. When will you grant great-grandfather's wish?"

The old master Silva was a strict old man who controlled the business world with an iron fist back in his day. He was known to bite and never let go of any money-making opportunities given to him when he was younger.

As he grew older, he let his son take over his position and became a normal grandfather who dotes on his grandchildren.

And now, his target was Maximilian, who was his favorite grandson. At the age of twenty-six, Maximilian was never involved in any scandals; unlike his other siblings, he remained stubborn and single.

Because of this, the old master Silva was very worried about his grandson's health and asked many experts about him. He asked many if Maximilian would get married and have several children, but these experts could only shake their heads because they themselves were unclear about Maximilian's future.

As the Old Master Silva's time grew shorter, he told Maximilian that if he didn't get married and have a child within that year, he wouldn't receive his inheritance when the Old Master Silva

left this world.

"What about it?" Maximilian remained indifferent to this matter.

Alaric scratched his nose and replied, "He's getting older, brother. Are you going to let him leave without seeing you get married and have children?"

His grandfather wasn't getting any younger. When will he settle down?

Maximilian tapped his finger on the steering wheel and blinked lazily. Then he said, "You don't have to worry about that. I already have plans."

"Really? Are you going to get married this year? Will I have a new aunt?" Alaric turned to him excitedly. Alaric was Maximilian's nephew from his sister. Naturally, he was happy and excited to see this terrifying uncle of his settle down.
