Hao Ren dropped Eden at the hotel and then headed to the Rose Family Mansion. He was going to subdue them the same way as Night did, but his methods were going to be rather drastic. ... In the hotel the journalists were curious about the person who sent them the DNA test report. Just when they were beginning to think that the entire thing was a sham, a young lady entered the lobby under the guidance of the hotel staff. Hao Ren made a proper arrangement for everything. Eden was led to the podium where she sat down on the chair and the media people began to buzz. What the people did not notice was that she had an earbud placed in her left ear which was covered with her hair. Xiao Mei was instructing her to take control of the situation. The first tip was to look over their shoulders and not make eye contact in order to maintain focus and appear confident. She tapped the tip of the mic and said, "Greetings, I am Eden Murphy, biological daughter of the late Damon Rose." These words were like blood and the journalists were vampires, they lunged at her with a plethora of questions. The atmosphere was loud and chaotic, Eden could not make the head from the tails of the scene when she suddenly raised her hand and slapped the table top. The loud and abrupt reaction stunned the people and Eden asked, "Can we act civil?" The reporters saw her reaction and were surprised. Her aura was not strong but her gaze was unwavering. One of the reporters asked, "What makes you think you can talk to us like this?" Eden replied after a few seconds, "The fact that I am not using a social media platform to reach other and tell my story is a good enough reason for you to be respectful. If you all have a problem then you can walk out and I will take this matter to the court and and social media. I might not gain a lot but you will lose out a lot." She was not sure what to do, but Xiao Mei told her to threaten the people, and it worked. Everyone calmed down, and one reporter raised her hand. Eden nodded to the lady who asked, "Miss Eden, can you tell us your full name and why did you seek us out today?" Eden nodded and replied, "My full name is Eden Murphy. I took my mother's family name. The reason I called you all over because I wanted to tell the world about what a heartless bunch of people the Rose family members are." The journalists were surprised, another person asked in follow up, "Why do you say that, Miss Murphy?" Eden nodded and said, "After all these years, my mother sought acknowledgement from my father but all she received from them was a painful death." The cameras were recording it and then someone asked, "Miss Murphy, did the police not support your claims?" Eden revealed a bitter smile and then said, "Would you support any claims that would bring bad PR to your benefactor? We all know the pull Rose Family has, and how deep their pockets run. The most surprising thing to me was how the police destroyed the evidence." Everything she said was a material that caused sensation. Eden looked at the floor manager on the side and said, "Can you please bring down the projector screen?" After a few seconds the guards moved away, and Hao Ren relaxed. He crouched on the ground and looking around for a few minutes, he planned his route. ... Onyx Rose was sitting in his study, reading through some documents when a servant came to the door, and said, "Master, Steward Alpine just received all of the Rose Family members in the living room. They all say you called for a meeting." Onyx Rose furrowed his brows when he heard this and said, "I never called any meeting, are these useless people high on some drug? Do they have nothing better to do then to come here and disturb me?" Apart from the main members, he did not allow anyone to stay in this mansion for the past few days because of the deaths. Now they all came here all of a sudden, who knew was going on. The infighting in the big families was a common thing and Rose family was no different at all. The old man sent away the servant and said he would come after finishing his job, when suddenly, he saw a flicker before him. Onyx Rose was very agile for his age, but he could not match Hao Ren's speed. The young man had infiltrated the mansion and was now standing behind the old man with a needle sticking in the wrinkled skin of the latter. The old man had a stiff neck and could not move. Hao Ren said, "Nice to meet you in person, Mister Rose. I know you want to ask a lot of questions, but the fact is everything that you are thinking about is true. I am Hao Ren, and I came in here to kill you. Also, that necromancer of yours, he is dead. I burned him alive." Onyx Rose opened his eyes wide and his pupils constricted in fear. Hao Ren continued, "At the moment, I have pricked an acupoint of yours to paralyze you, and also injected you with an undetectable poison. You will die in a few days, and so, to right all your wrongs, you will now follow me wish, and set up a trust fund. The living members will lose right to all the family properties and only their personal assets will remain under control. Then you will donate all these assets to various charity organizations, and set up a trust fund that will give twenty percent of your net worth to Eden Murphy, and also she will have the right to run all your business with the help of a few people she trust." Onyx opened his eyes wide and shook his head with all the strength he had. Hao Ren walked around him and with a smile he said, "Did you think I was asking you? It is all done. Just wait for a few minutes." That said, he took out the needle and rushed out of the window. This was his purpose. While they were talking, a message was sent to the attorney, who was shocked at first but then a video call from the study room was made in which Onyx Rose changed his will under the realization of his deeds and to clear his conscience. A few moments later, the members of the Rose family also received the news about the conference held by Eden Murphy and rushed over to the study to find a stiff and paralyzed Onyx Rose. They arranged for a medivac, and Onyx Rose was rushed to the biggest and the best hospital in the Stag Nation for treatment. Hao Ren sat in his car as the helicopter flew by in the sky with a smirk on his face. Xiao Mei said, "Boss, you dealt a really critical blow." Hao Ren smiled and said, "Make sure everyone with ill-intentions feel the pain as if it is there own Xiao Mei. I want to hold a peaceful wedding." Xiao Mei replied, "Roger that, Boss."
