"Okay, I need you to make arrangements together with Damian, so that the stores do not get affected for long. Additionally, investigate for me who is behind all this. I need answers as soon as possible." Michael instructed after the call ended.

"Sure, I will get it done." Adrian responded.

Michael watched as Adrian left, then he began thinking. For him to be targeted like this, most probably, it might involve someone within this city.

But there was still a probability that it was someone from another province. After all, if it was not someone from within Brenton City, then it had to be from another province.

If there was any force that was capable of competing against Annex supermarket chain within the Eastern province, then it definitely had to come from Brenton city.

But if it was not from Brenton city, then it had to be another force from another province. Maybe they had realized that there was a market gap that had opened up after the collapse of the Kingsley family, and were trying to exploit it.

In the end, after realizing that he could not come up with a solution to the current situation, Michael decided not to think about it any longer.

Instead, he thought about something else. It was related to the Death Shadow organization.

Adrian had managed to access the website that was run by this organization. Michael was able to see the missions that were frequently posted on this platform.

He had access to the information regarding all the assassins that this organization possessed. And more than that, he had already realized that the one behind the assassination attempt was actually Ronald Kingsley.

It was clear, they were the ones who had posted the $10 million bounty on him, and it just happened that an assassin was currently within Brenton city.

That was the same assassin that Adrian had taken care of a few days back.

But, after this assassin failed to deal with the target, and the Kingsley family was arrested, the bounty mission was actually considered invalid. Even though the money had already been taken, it was not refunded.

As for the reason behind this, it was simply because the amount of money that was offered did not match the target. Considering that a high level assassin had failed to take care of the target, it was clear that the target was not simple.

So, that amount was not enough to be able to deal with such a target. Unless the bounty was increased, it was impossible for the Death Shadow organization to be involved in this again.

Michael did not have any intention of dealing with this organization, despite them sending an assassin after him. In any case, they did not have any grudge.

They only targeted him because of the money. But, this was the only time that Michael decided to let them go. If they accepted another mission, and sent another assassin after him or anyone close to him, he would not hesitate to eliminate them.

As for why he did not eliminate them now, it was because he found it to be too much trouble. After all, this was an organization that was known worldwide.

It was amongst the best assassination organizations in the world. Therefore, to be able to take them out, it would require some effort to be put in.

But at the moment, Michael did not have the time to waste on something like that. After all, he was not going to receive any benefit after dealing with this organization anyway.

Still, he had the confidence to be able to know if he or anyone close to him was being targeted. As for why, it was because Onyx had already linked to this platform, and was actively monitoring all the bounties placed.

In case any bounty was on anyone that Michael knew about, Onyx would immediately tell him about it.

"Onyx, I would like you to get me some information on this person, Aiden." Michael suddenly spoke to no one in particular.

The moment that he said those words, the smartwatch on his wrist suddenly had its screen light up. And in the next moment, Onyx's voice resounded, "Should I investigate all people in the world named Aiden, or do you have any one in particular?"

Michael then went ahead and described this person called Aiden. And in just a little while, Onyx had already gotten all the details that were required for the investigation.

And just about a second later, Michael received the information.

According to Onyx, from the information that it had managed to obtain, this person called Aiden was linked to the Santos family.

To be precise, this person called Aiden was a subordinate of someone who was Michael's uncle's aide. It seems that it was this person who had instructed Aiden on what to do.

The incredible capabilities that Onyx had, allowed it to be able to extract even the recordings of the call itself. And after listening to it, Michael's eyes chilled.

"Aiden, I want you to find a method of eliminating that escapee of the Santos family. I have already gotten the information, he is in Drenn city.

He escaped together with his wife, and now, they have a child. Just take care of the couple, leave the child alone. He will not be able to survive for long within Drenn city anyway.

You have to make sure that all of this is done cleanly. No matter what, it should not be linked back to us. You have to find a cover, making it that the death of the two is just a coincidence, and not a planned killing." A rough masculine voice spoke.

"I understand. I will do that as soon as possible. Give me a week. I promise that within 1 week, the couple will have disappeared." Another voice responded.

"Make sure to do that. If anything goes wrong, I will hold you accountable."

That was the end of the conversation. And, even though his parents' names were not mentioned, Michael could clearly understand that this was the way that they had been targeted.

As for himself, they had not killed him, believing that staying in Drenn city, he was bound to suffer. There was even a great possibility that he might end up dying.

After all, back in Drenn city, deaths were quite frequent. It would not be much of a surprise for someone as young as Michael to die.

Additionally, it was believed, there was no way that Michael would be able to guess that the death of his parents wasn't just a coincidence. Instead, it was well orchestrated.

It was just that, they had made a miscalculation. If they had killed Michael back then, then, it would not have been a problem.

It might be true, their thoughts were actually not wrong. After all, if not for the system, Michael would still be under the suppression of the shadow assembly gang.

It would have been almost impossible for him to be able to break free. Previously, he had thought about reading about accounting, in order to acquire a legitimate job.

But thinking about it now, that seemed to be quite a dumb idea. Dante would definitely not have allowed Michael to go somewhere else. He would have definitely come looking for him.

Regardless, that was just an 'if'. But now, things were totally different. He was someone who had a system, and the potential of becoming the richest man in the world. All that he needed right now was time.

He believed that within just one year, he had the ability of becoming the richest person in the world.

Of course, at the moment, Michael understood that he had no capability of dealing with the Santos family. The person that was involved with the death of his parents was his uncle, Newton.

This guy called Newton was the current second in command of the Silent Order syndicate, which was under the Santos family.

Considering that it was one of the two syndicates in this nation, it was quite clear that the power that it held was quite high. With the current ability that Michael had, it was difficult for him to be able to deal with them.

Of course, if it was just killing them, that was going to be quite simple. Just find a bio human, who would be able to easily take Newton out.

But that was not the kind of revenge that Michael wanted. They wanted him to suffer, right? Then, Michael planned to make those involved with the death of his parents suffer.

He did not plan to have them have an easy way out. They had to suffer, to appease the souls of his parents.

His father had obviously left the family, without the intention of getting involved with the family matters. But even after he had left for several years, they still went after him.

Michael decided. From now on, he would no longer hold back. This time, he was going to go all out in acquiring SP. At the same time, he had to increase the speed at which his companies were expanding.

Even if it needed him to buy a few more bio humans in order to make sure that everything went as planned, Michael was willing to do it.

As soon as he thought about that, he decided to push yet another skill to the expert level. Even though he had initially planned to relax, with him understanding that there was someone out there who had been involved with the death of his parents, how could he relax?

So, the marketing skill was next to be pushed to the expert level.
