?Chapter 96:


    Upon hearing that his parents wanted to discuss something important, Derek quickly responded, “Dad, go ahead.”


    “This concerns our family’s very survival. Listen closely,” Neil said gravely


    “Okay.” Derek felt a twinge of nervousness


    “Derek, the Daniels family is the wealthiest and most influential. We possess immense wealth. But your mom and I are capitalizing on your return and exaggerating it toy the groundwork for our livestream sales business. Do you understand why we are doing that?”


    Derek opened his mouth but remained silent. He had always been puzzled about this. His family was the wealthiest, and his uncle was the richest man. He couldn’t grasp why his parents would bother earning money through being influencers and running a livestream business. Initially, Derek assumed that no amount of money would be too much for his parents, but he was beginning to see that this was not the case


    “You’ve just returned. You’re not fully aware of the Daniels family dynamics. Let me exin,” Neil continued. “When your great-grandfather was alive, he established a rule: apart from the family head, no one could manage the family business or enterpeting sectors. Others only receive monthly allowances. Right now, your Uncle Connor is sitting on a fortune in the billions, while our family only pulls in two million dors each month. To ordinary people, that’s a lot of money, but to rich and powerful families like us, it’s barely anything, and it’s humiliating. Though we’re financially secure with our two million dors monthly, it means we can’t achieve anything noteworthy. You and your brother will always be beneath your Uncle Connor’s children. As your father, I find this uneptable. I’m determined to secure a better future for you.”

    Derek replied, “I understand. Dad, you want to earn more to support me and Foley.”


    “Derek, you’re missing the bigger picture.” Neil shook his head. “I don’t just want you to surpass Connor’s children. I want to surpass Connor, too. Our aim in amassing wealth is to use it to bring down Connor.”


    Derek suddenly shivered with fear, picturing Connor’s formidable presence. He couldn’t imagine confronting such a terrifying figure. Noticing Derek’s frightened expression, Neil frowned and scolded, “What are you scared of?”


    Derek bit his lip, too afraid to speak


    “Connor is indeed terrifying, but if he were gone, what would there be to fear?” Neil added. “If we eliminate Connor before he has any children, I will naturally inherit everything of the Daniels family. Then, our family will truly be the wealthiest and most influential family. Understand?”


    Trembling with fear, Derek nodded. He was too scared to utter a clear yes or no. When Derek was poor, he had felt an innate fear of Connor, wanting to yield even to his photos. Now, Neil was asking Derek to join him in a plot against the person he revered as a godlike figure. The thought terrified Derek


    “You look like aplete loser,” Neil said. “Look at your brother. He’s far braver than you.”


    Derek sneaked another nce at Foley, who shed him a defiant smile


    Neil continued, “You’re my son. I don’t need to hide things from you. I killed your grandparents and one of your uncles, and crippled your Uncle Glenn. Anyone who blocks my path to bing the head of the Daniels family will meet the same fate.”


    Derek’s legs gave out, and he copsed onto the sofa. He had once naively thought that life in a wealthy family was about enjoying fame and riches, never realizing it was riddled with such brutal conflicts


    Looking at Derek, Neil continued, “My ambition is to lead the Daniels family, dominate all the influential circles in Blebert, and control the world. As my sons, you and Foley should do everything to support me. Understand?”


    At that moment, Neil had a menacing look about him, resembling a wicked high official from ancient times scheming to seize power


    Seized by panic, Derek blurted out, “Dad, for the sake of power and wealth, you’ve even harmed your own parents and siblings. So, could theree a day when you’d kill me, your son, for your ambitions?”
