""Although Marcus has a background in the underworld, he’ has also been thriving in the business world lately. He even established a business alliance in the South District. He’ has gained some influence there. To think that evenI can’t believe he’ is following William's orders. It seems thatis poor person is not simplean ordinary man!"" pKlay analyzed the situation and soon came to a surprising conclusion.
Thisis poor person from the slums does have some ability.

""Darling, just wait a little longer! We still have one more day, what’s they rushh,?"" MaPria comforted him. Elisa never imagined that their family's future one day, their family's future would rely on a pauper one day. It was truly unbelievable.
Another night passed, and still no news from William. Elisa was uUnable to bear it, Elisa and messaged Michelle to ask about William and the investment. However, Michelle replied that she didn't know what was going on either. William didn't tellhadn’t told her anything about the investment.
""Ah! I never thought two days could be so difficult to endure,"" Elisa sighed and fell back asleep on the bed. She slept through the entire morning and woke up checking for any messages or calls from William. Unfortunately, there was no informationshe heard nothing at all. This She was disappointed her,, and she could only console herself.
