Infinite Wealth System: Crazy Tasks, Insane Rewards!

Chapter 127: The Banquet (IV)



All eyes were on that scene as they watched the once stubborn father, who had stood his ground for his choices, beg his daughter for forgiveness.

Camilia couldn't even blink and couldn't even look his way.

He had done badly enough by forcing her to marry the Prince, and sending her away when she finally refused to, and disowning her had gone beyond measure.

It would never be easy to forgive such a thing, right?

"I didn't know what I was doing. I believe I was blinded by King Arthur's pressure. He pushed me into making a mistake I would never forget in my entire life," Heston said.

"But please, daughter... You have to forgive me. You are my daughter. You have always been my daughter. I will always be your father. Just forgive me and come back home, where you belong," Heston said, his eyes sincere as he remained on his knees.

Camilia just didn't know what to do at this point, as him getting to the point of going on his knees was something heart-touching...

If not for all, then for her.

Now the question is...

Should Camilia forgive her father?

There were different expressions from every single person around, including Jayden, who was behind her.

He didn't want to push her into making her own choice, but it was almost none of his business.

However, still, Camilia had to turn to him to know how he felt about it. It was as if she was viewing him as her final judge and hope...

That was one thing that revealed the connection between the two, and everyone admired that.

Jayden nodded.

"You always wanted me to forgive mine. This is simpler than that, so come on," Jayden muttered to her in a go-ahead tone, and then she nodded and turned to her father.

"Get up, Father," she said in a sobbing tone, as a tear rolled down her temple.

It was a soft emotional scene as she hugged him tightly right after, showing her sincere forgiveness.

This was completely understandable.

Apart from pressuring her to engage in a marriage she didn't want, he had always been a caring father.

Unlike Jayden, Heston had given her every best sponsor and education she needed, even when her mother passed away.

She never lacked anything in this world... or well, except abundant freedom, which every good father wouldn't really grant their child during adolescent years.

Camilia had never been mad at that fact, and the most important thing was that she was well brought up and was now an A-level graduate from Sky High University.

That was more than an achievement for her after all the years of hard work and effort.

Surely, there's no way she would turn his apology down. Not when he went so low on his knees and was emotionally pleading to his little girl.

After that moment, the whole crowd followed the touching scene with claps, and then Jayden and the ladies walked forward to the golden chair that had been prepared for them before they arrived.

Royce was still standing there and was clearly in shock. The whole thing still felt like a dream to him, but at the same time, it did not.

He just couldn't accept the fact that this was happening right before his eyes.

At that point, he just wished the ground could open and swallow him up.

That was the best thing he could wish for at that moment, and he truly hoped for it.

After settling on the seat, Jayden faced Royce.

"Royce Kingsley. The lazy son of a wealthy tyrant who took it upon himself to ruin my life. Everyone at Sky High knew you were my greatest enemy. The rivalry began the very first day we met. But the sad truth is..."

Jayden paused.

"I always win."

Royce frowned and looked up.

His face clearly said: "That's not true!"

And that only made Jayden chuckle.

It was clear that Royce hadn't calmed down after what happened, and it wasn't as if Jayden was done either.

"We have stripped your father of all his assets. He has nothing anymore. What will become of you, Proud Mouth?" Jayden teased.

Royce's eyes reddened, but he didn't react wildly like he normally would.

"Do you think I would be poor just because my father lost his wealth? You'd better guess again," Royce said.

"Oh well," Jayden smiled.

He turned to Charlotte, who quickly nodded at him.

Jayden understood and smiled. "Seems I forgot to tell you one more thing..."

Royce maintained his dark stare.

"Your assets have also been hijacked," Jayden said.

At that point, Royce's eyes widened as he shook his head repeatedly.

"No... No..."

He quickly grabbed his phone and checked it frantically. Everyone could see he was rushing to open his bank account.

"No! No!! No, Jayden! You can't do this to me! No!!!"

Royce panicked at once, shedding tears right in front of everyone. At that same point, he got a call and quickly picked up.

"Mister Royce. The oil you purchased has just been hijacked by the government. I'm sorry to tell you this, but you have lost everything. Please do not call this number again, for the sake of my life and yours."

BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.

The calm ended at once, and Jayden was left dumbfounded immediately.

He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, seeing all this had just happened in a blur.

"Please. I'm begging you, please. Don't do this... I have nothing left. Jayden! Please! Mercy!"

"I beg you!"

"Don't leave me to die, please!"

The whole hall was tense as they watched the scene.

Royce was humbled for the very first time in his life, and it was drastic. This was more like a death sentence, because who would want to live in this world again after losing his entire wealth worth billions after once being on top of the entire state?

It was indescribable at this point, but surely, there was nothing anyone could do.

To be fair, it was definitely true that Royce deserved the punishment he was about to face.

That was no lie.

"You need to taste the other side of life and see what it looks like. After all, that is what you deserve. To have nothing. To be nothing... To suffer. Just like you made other people suffer."

"You bullied who you wanted. Stole any girl you wanted... Did what you wanted... Killed who you wanted... Just because your father was Gregory Kingsley," Jayden continued.

"Now he's gone. Let's see what you've got," Jayden added.

"Throw him out of here!"

At that command, the big men rushed and grabbed Royce, dragging him outside the building.

"Please, Jayden! You have to forgive me! I will be a better person, I promise! I swear! Don't do this, please!" Royce begged as they dragged him out, but he kept screaming for forgiveness.

It wasn't as if anyone was listening anyway.

After his voice disappeared, Jayden put on a genuine smile and glanced at everyone.

Everyone working for Gregory was completely led out, and the hall was left with the rest of the people, including Heston and the Vanes.

"Now let's move on to the main event of the day," Jayden said, observing all the reactions of the people around.

There were a lot of looks on their faces... different looks.

But all he knew was that these people were still surprised about him being The Dominus, but that wasn't a problem at all, was it?

"Don't worry, you'll get used to it," he said and chuckled.

"Breaking News! Jayden Cole is alive, and he's The Dominus!"

"Jayden Cole reportedly showed up at the presidential banquet held in Cloudbridge City after going missing and being strongly presumed dead for months, and revealed himself as The Dominus!"

"The people of Nortasia had been living in mystery for many months, not knowing who the owner of EC Consortium, Dominion Island, and the new President of the Democratic Republic of Nortasia was. Now, the entire nation has been shocked by the fact that it had all been Jayden Ian Cole all along. The Chairman of Zintech Automobile and son of the late Emerson Cole, who was accused of embezzlement fourteen years ago."

"Information reaching us right now is that the truth has been revealed, and it was confirmed that Mister Emerson Cole was never guilty of the crime he was accused of. It was stated that Mister Gregory Kingsley, the former Chairman of Kingsley Group, had been the only one involved in that act and had set Emerson Cole up."

"It reached the point of arresting Mister Emerson Cole fourteen years ago. He was jailed and died a few months later. The case was brought up again a few months ago by his wife, who also lost the case and died a week later."

"Their son, Jayden Cole — the last standing member of the Cole Family — went the extra mile to pursue wealth and power and came back in full force to get revenge for his father."

"Now, it's done, and Gregory Kingsley has been arrested, his entire assets taken away from him by the presidential authority vested in Jayden Cole, the President of Nortasia."

"As we speak, we inform the nation that Kingsley Group has fallen."
