Chapter 1011

Lorenzo dismissively glanced at Cameron. "Lead the way."

Leopold bent down and replied, "Come with me, Mr. Connolly."

After showing Lorenzo to the living room next door, Leopold made sure everything was in order before coming back. Upon seeing that Cameron was still on the floor, he frowned and said, "Get up. Are you waiting for me to help you up?"

Cameron picked himself up. "You told me that no one dare mess with the Fuller family in the northwest, Grandpa. But earlier, Lorenzo acted like we were nothing. That's over the line."

Leopold's expression turned grim. "You're right. The Connollys don't even respect us."

Cameron was in a daze. He'd just heard about the deaths of Vernon, Lyndon, and Clement when Lorenzo slapped him, crushing his pride.

Upon hearing Leopold's words, Cameron snapped, "How could they? The Fuller family isn't some pushovers. How could he not take us seriously?"

Feeling down, Leopold couldn't help but sigh. "You're too young, and there's a lot you don't know. Do you even know what's your relationship with Mr. Connolly?"

Cameron was perplexed. "What does he have to do with me?"

Leopold murmured, "He's your younger brother."

Cameron was momentarily stunned before gasping. "Are you saying he's Dad's illegitimate son?"

Looking frustrated, Leopold glared at Cameron. "Quit making stuff up. He should be my grandson."

Cameron gazed at Leopold with a puzzled face. "Is this some mess you got into outside, Grandpa?"

Leopold's expression darkened. "Fuck off! It's not some affair. It's my shame. Back in the day..."

Leopold explained to Cameron how his first love was taken from him and how he took the opportunity to get her pregnant. Then, he sent her away for a shot to get a better life.

He also told Cameron everything about the pain and frustration he had to suffer.

After iterating the story, Leopold continued, "You've seen more than most people, but it's just a glimpse of a tiny corner of this world you havent experienced true danger and despair, let alone what real power looks like.

"The Fuller family is rich, but that's it. When it comes to people with influence and authority, we're just a joke. Just one word for them or even a signal could destroy our entire family."

Cameron still found it hard to believe. "Are they really so formidable?"

Leopold sternly warned, "You saw what happened with Lorenzo. Even though I'm his grandpa, I can't tell him about it, and I'm afraid to do that as well.

"On top of that, I've got to suck up to him. Do you know why? It's because of the Connolly family's influence."

Cameron couldn't help but wonder what Lorenzo was truly like. Hearing Leopold's warning, he became even more intrigued. "What's the deal with his family?"

Leopold clenched his teeth. "Lorenzo

comes from a martial arts family, and it's been around for a century. They have the influence and connections. One word from them is all it takes to annihilate us.

Cameron had occasionally heard about cultivators before, but he'd never seen one.

He thought they were just tough guys, who had mastered some combat techniques. He didn't expect it to be this crazy.

Noticing Cameron finally listening to his words, Leopold added, "The other Fullers are gone, so I can only pass down the Fuller family to you.

need to learn how to spend your money, manage people, and make money.

"But most importantly, you need to learn how to take it. No matter how Lorenzo treats you, you've got to deal with it. Don't let anything bother you. Nothing is more serious than staying alive."
