Chapter 495 - The Most Scrupulous Person

That night, on the 58th floor of Lotus Skyline, Alex seats on his cantilever chair watching the skyline of Lotus city. It was colorful, vibrant and astounding in Alex's thought. This has become a habit of him every night, watching the glow of the lights coming from the City's skyscraper, the lights moving like fireflies in one straight line down the roads of the city and the silhouette of the Naupaka Mountain not knowing what lies in there.

But he could see a single glint of line coming from the dark forest of Naupaka Mountain. He was always wondering where that light comes from. If it is a house, who lives there and who owns it. But it was just a thought that comes to him at night, in the morning, he would forget all about that and will be too busy to think about it or waste time on finding out where was that glint coming from.

"You sure know how to slack off." Alex heard the voice of his grandfather from behind.

"You only know how to look for my flaw," Alex replied with his signature evil smirk without looking at him.

Jack Ogden takes a seat on another chair not far away from Alex, facing the large glass window as well. He frowned when he heard Alex's reply. It is not that he sees only his flaws. He was just getting impatient. He is now almost 90 years old and he wanted to take over the Robin Hood Society before he left this world and the only way to do that is if his grandson marries its heiress.

But it seems that his grandson is taking all the time in the world to make his move on the heiress.

"Have you thought of a way to get her?" Jack Ogden asked him.

Alex made no reply. Instead, he said, "Grandfather, everyone is taking a holiday off, you are old now and should take your off as well. Leave everything to me." His voice is cold and void of any emotions.

"I already left everything on your hands 10 years ago, and I trusted you with our business. But, there are some things that I just cannot leave at rest. And that is having you married to that heiress so that we could take over the Society before I permanently rest." When Alex's father died in a mission and his mother died after giving birth, Jack Ogden has no one left except Alex Ogden to continue his legacy. Fortunately, Alex is extremely capable, he was even able to expand their business in the formal and informal economy within 10 years.

There is nothing else that Jack Ogden could ask now except for having the Robin Hood Society in the palm of his hands.

But it seems like, Alex is not interested in taking over the Society, but he is absolutely interested in marrying the heiress. There is nothing he wanted more than that now.

"I heard that Liam appeared." Alex was not surprised that his grandfather already heard of it. "And with Jacob Parker." Jack Ogden continued upon noticing that Alex was still void of emotions.

"Is he with Twelve Army now? Or has been with them all this time?" Jack questioned him. He is starting to suspect that Liam was a mole that was sent to them by Twelve Army. But Liam left them almost five years ago. He cannot think of any possible reason why would Twelve Army send a mole over the Novus Rex.

"I've been looking about that. You knew Liam very well, he is the most scrupulous person I've known. He never leaves traces behind." Alex said, this time his devilishly handsome face is marked with creases on the forehead.

"Maybe I could find leads." This time, Alex glanced at his grandfather.

"What are you planning?" Alex asked.

"I'll talk to Chairman John Parker."
