Captivated by the Ruler of the Underworld
Chapter 52 Underneath the lavish blanket piled with money, one can only discover it's infested with lice when it's lifted.

"It turns out that way," Elvis regained his composure from the shock and tightly held his hand. "I used to feel sorry for his impending death, but now it seems he deserved it." Elvis valued the unity within the family the most. Initially, he had intended to plead for Raymond, but now he thought Raymond truly deserved it.

At the same time, Elvis felt even more guilty. Elvis and Richael never expected Raymond to be involved in the events of the past. Charley was even angrier; he and his brother were ill, and he wondered how his brother managed alone outside. Charley was suffering at home, with nutrient fluids and blood bags hanging, in excruciating pain. His brother though, seems to have been coping just fine, even to the extent of the condition of the illness improving and the effects being delayed...

Charley felt his heart bleeding with pain. He wished he could dig up Raymond's ashes, mix them with animal excrement and urine, letting him reek until his death.

Richael covered her stomach, watching her eldest nephew's eyes turn red, feeling remorse for not protecting Lisa's child.

Sylvester was only ten years old back then. How dare Raymond?

He was truly despicable.

While those listening couldn't bear the emotions, the people directly involved showed no signs of emotion.

"I'm sharing this with you, not to make you feel guilty, Elvis," Sylvester raised his thumb with the dragon head ring on it. Under the sunlight, the dragon's diamond eye on the ring appeared majestic, exuding an aura of dominance, just like Sylvester himself.

"After all, under the glamorous blanket piled with billions of dollars, there are still lice crawling around inside it. Isn't that what the Sylvesters represent, this magnificent blanket?"

"Elvis, your biggest mistake was blind compromise. Blindly seeking a middle ground is undoubtedly a rigid compromise, and anything becoming rigid is not good. 'The Doctrine of the Mean' emphasizes flexibility and principles." "That's all I have to say," Sylvester withdrew his gaze into the distance and turned to face Elvis.

"I've already had Raymond's businesses consolidated. As for whether you are willing to rejoin the Sylvesters and revive your past glory, it's up to you."
