00:00:10I want to thank the chairman of the Dark Council for supporting my campaign.
00:00:18Mind if I share your table?
00:00:21Whatever.
00:00:24Everybody out! This place is ours now!
00:00:28You two, still here? Get lost.
00:00:31We're paying customers. You can't just kick us out.
00:00:33Ever heard of Sir Ray?
00:00:35The Mafia King of Havenport City?
00:00:37That's right. This was Sir Ray's favorite spot as a kid.
00:00:40Our boss is hosting him here tonight. You think you deserve to sit here?
00:00:44Move it! Now!
00:00:49You knocked over my food.
00:00:53What? Got a problem?
00:00:55Pay up.
00:00:56You want me to pay?
00:00:58Yes.
00:01:02Why don't you ask my bat first?
00:01:07Get him!
00:01:13You're asking for death!
00:01:37Who the hell are you?
00:01:39You don't deserve to know.
00:01:41Let go of me!
00:01:42My boss works for Sir Ray. He's the boss of Pink District.
00:01:47Then let's see what he can do about it.
00:01:49Stop!
00:01:50My boss is here! You're dead!
00:01:53Starting trouble on my turf? Let him go. Now.
00:01:56Sure. Smart move.
00:02:00I let him go.
00:02:06You trying to provoke me?
00:02:08Just self-defense.
00:02:10So you're saying my guys started it?
00:02:13Yeah.
00:02:14Interesting. No one's ever talked to me like that.
00:02:18Get on your knees and lift my shoes clean. Maybe I'll let you live.
00:02:23You're new under Raymond Jones, aren't you?
00:02:25This how he taught you to do things?
00:02:27How dare you! You don't get to say Sir Ray's name!
00:02:30Listen, kid. Sir Ray is a god in all of Havenport City.
00:02:33Appointed by the chairman of the Dark Council himself to run Zentra Group.
00:02:37Well, you can't even count.
00:02:38Disrespect him like that? You've got a death wish.
00:02:41Even if Raymond Jones were standing right here, I'd have nothing to fear.
00:02:45You're asking for death!
00:02:50Three minutes. Tell Raymond Jones. Three minutes.
00:02:54The burger joint in Pink District.
00:02:56If he's late, the entire Jones family gets banished.
00:03:05Master summons you. Three minutes or the Jones family banished.
00:03:11If Sir Ray came to Pink District, I wouldn't even qualify to greet him.
00:03:14You think one phone call is going to bring him here?
00:03:16To banish the Jones family? You have a death wish.
00:03:19To banish the Jones family banished.
00:03:27You!
00:03:30Kyle! You've got some nerve!
00:03:50Kyle, are you asking for death?
00:03:53Sir Ray?
00:03:55Why are you here?
00:03:59Get lost!
00:04:07Jessica pays respects to Master.
00:04:15Havenfield City, Raymond. Pays respects to Mr. Blackwood.
00:04:20Master?
00:04:22Worthless trash. Are you blind?
00:04:24Keep your people in line.
00:04:25Next time, someone else runs Havenfield City.
00:04:28Yes. Yes, of course.
00:04:30Sir Ray, I...
00:04:31You scumbag! Take him away!
00:04:36Master, right this way.
00:04:55Serena? That man you've been looking for?
00:04:57Found him.
00:04:59Where?
00:05:00Havenport City.
00:05:02Book a private jet for tomorrow night. Get me to Havenport City.
00:05:05Havenport?
00:05:06Miss Bennett, you have an overseas conference tomorrow night.
00:05:09Not important.
00:05:10You know, I've been waiting a long time for this.
00:05:13To finally lay eyes on my fiance.
00:05:19The task I gave you. How's it going?
00:05:22Raymond will host a banquet tomorrow night on your behalf,
00:05:25as chairman of Zentra Group.
00:05:26He'll announce a strategic partnership with your wife Vivian.
00:05:29A 20 billion dollar investment in the Ashford family.
00:05:32The Ashford family is already among Havenfield City's elite.
00:05:35With Zentra Group's investment, their power and status will soar even higher.
00:05:39Your wife Vivian will make the billionaire rankings.
00:05:41She'll become the most influential woman in the city.
00:05:44When the Ashford family went bankrupt, Vivian was devastated.
00:05:47That's why I stayed by her side as an ordinary man.
00:05:50Didn't want to burden her.
00:05:52Now she's made it. I can finally rest easy.
00:05:54But without your help from the shadows, she'd have none of this.
00:05:58Everything the Ashford family has came from you.
00:06:01It doesn't matter. The moment she saved my life, everything I have became hers.
00:06:09Hello?
00:06:11Dorian, right? I'm Linda, Vivian Ashford's assistant.
00:06:14Linda? What's...
00:06:15Listen up. I don't care what you're doing.
00:06:18Be at the Ashford Group CEO's office in 10 minutes.
00:06:22Vivian has something to tell you.
00:06:27Master, she...
00:06:28Take me there. It's about time I told Vivian who I really am.
00:06:36Where's Vivian? What's so urgent?
00:06:39Don't bother sitting. Vivian doesn't have time for you. Sign this and get out.
00:06:45What's this supposed to mean?
00:06:47Don't you get it? Your marriage to Vivian is over.
00:06:52Why?
00:06:53You think you're on the same level as Vivian?
00:06:56You're not worthy of Vivian.
00:06:59I'm not worthy of her?
00:07:01That's right. Vivian turned a dying Ashford Group into a powerhouse in just five years.
00:07:06Tomorrow night, she rises even higher. A strategic partnership with Zentra Group.
00:07:10What about you then? What abilities do you have?
00:07:14Don't measure me with your narrow little world. Who I am, you can't even begin to fathom.
00:07:20Can't fathom? What, you've got some secret identity that puts you on par with Sir Ray of Zentra Group?
00:07:27Compare me to him? Raymond kneels when he speaks to me.
00:07:31Keep dreaming. Just sign it, Dorian.
00:07:34You can still walk away with Vivian's payout.
00:07:37Then have Vivian come tell me herself.
00:07:39Vivian doesn't waste her time on this. With her status, she doesn't even need your consent.
00:07:44Bringing you here, offering compensation, that's mercy. More dignity than you deserve.
00:07:51Dignity? Five years of marriage, thrown away like nothing. She won't even show her face.
00:07:56Darren! You don't know what's good for you.
00:07:59Nothing to discuss. If Vivian won't face me herself, this is off the table.
00:08:05Ew!
00:08:09This little tantrum of yours does nothing but disgust me even more.
00:08:17So you finally decided to show up?
00:08:2020 million. Sign it. After tonight, stay out of my life.
00:08:26So our marriage is just a price tag to you?
00:08:29Think it's too little? Name your price. I'll meet it.
00:08:33Money, status, that's all that matters to you?
00:08:35You'll never see the gap between us and you'll never understand what I want.
00:08:39What about the five years I took care of you?
00:08:40Does it even matter? What I needed was never your so-called care.
00:08:43What I want, you can't afford it.
00:08:45How do you know I can't?
00:08:46Ever stop to think you never could have taken the Ashford's this far alone?
00:08:49Everything they have came from me.
00:08:51You actually have the nerve to say that? You're unbelievable.
00:08:55Exactly! Stop taking credit!
00:08:57Dorian, you're nothing but a good for nothing!
00:08:59That's right. A good for nothing.
00:09:02He'll never understand. Status defines vision. And him, he has nothing.
00:09:10Vivian, the watch you had your eye on during our last date.
00:09:13Three million. It's yours.
00:09:17A date?
00:09:20So this is the real reason for the divorce?
00:09:22Take it however you want, but understand this.
00:09:25Vivian Ashford's man shouldn't be some hopeless dead weight!
00:09:30Fine. I get it.
00:09:32The divorce agreement, I'll sign.
00:09:34Don't regret this.
00:09:39Hope you don't regret this.
00:09:42You? Make Vivian regret? You're not worthy.
00:09:46Tomorrow at the Zentra Group banquet,
00:09:48Vivian lands a 20 billion dollar investment.
00:09:52Once that money lands, Vivian becomes the most powerful CEO in the game!
00:09:56And you?
00:09:57Oh, sorry.
00:09:59High society news? A bit out of your reach, right?
00:10:03My bad. Looking at you, I almost forgot you're a good for nothing.
00:10:07The one out of the loop is you.
00:10:10Zentra Group invested in Vivian on my orders.
00:10:12Your orders? What's next? Sir Ray takes orders from you too?
00:10:16You're not wrong. Raymond does answer to me.
00:10:20Doran! Do you even hear yourself?
00:10:23Listen up, filthy scum. Zentra Group and the Thorn family go way back.
00:10:27I'm the one who made this investment happen.
00:10:31You made it happen? Dominic, right? And you are what exactly?
00:10:36Enough! You're nothing. Stop pretending you're somebody.
00:10:40Darian divorcing you was the best decision I ever made. I will never regret it.
00:10:44You have no idea what I'm capable of. Just make sure you don't regret it.
00:10:49Remember what you said tonight. Give me back the necklace my mom left you.
00:10:53We're done.
00:10:57Here. Keep your money. It's beneath me. From today, we owe each other nothing.
00:11:13Doesn't know what's good for him. Vivian, how about dinner? To celebrate?
00:11:19I've already eaten. Dominic, our meetings were strictly business,
00:11:23not dates. I can't accept this gift. Sorry.
00:11:27My apologies. I just wanted to help you get rid of that dead weight.
00:11:30By the way, Vivian, have you heard? The mysterious boss behind Sir Ray is showing up at tomorrow's banquet.
00:11:35You mean the chairman of the Dark Council? The billionaire even the president defers to?
00:11:40Exactly. He's above all others. And I happen to know him well. Close friends, you could say.
00:11:44Mr. Throne, if you're close to someone that powerful, that means...
00:11:47Don't be too showy. Vivian, at the banquet, I can introduce you.
00:11:51Win his favor, and you'll be the top businesswoman in the country.
00:11:58No need to be formal with me. I've got a meeting. Gotta run.
00:12:02Linda, do you think I did the right thing?
00:12:04Absolutely. Someone like Mr. Thorn, well-bred, well-connected, that's who belongs by your side.
00:12:10Not some filthy nobody.
00:12:11Master, the Thorn family is offering 70% of their assets. All they ask is a meeting before the banquet.
00:12:16The Thorn family?
00:12:20Yes. The Thorn family's been working for Zentra Group for years. Their chairman, William Thorn,
00:12:26has always admired you. Should I decline?
00:12:28Have Raymond tell him. I'll see him at the banquet.
00:12:31You mean the banquet's still on? But you and Vivian already...
00:12:34Exactly why. I'll be waiting for tomorrow night's reunion.
00:12:41Mr. Thorn, why are we giving up the 20 billion deal with Zentra Group?
00:12:45We've got a long-term deal with Zentra Group. 20 billion? Just a matter of time.
00:12:49But when the Ashford family went bankrupt, even my father couldn't have turned them around.
00:12:53Vivian did it in five years. Brought Ashford Group to where it stands today.
00:12:57The woman is exceptional. A short-term investment to win a business genius favor worth every cent.
00:13:02Besides, this banquet was never about the investment.
00:13:05You mean the VIP?
00:13:08Exactly. Tomorrow night, my father meets him. Once we have that connection,
00:13:13Vivian will come crawling to the Thorn family. She's destined to be mine.
00:13:17But she's been divorced.
00:13:18Ha ha ha! That worthless trash ex of hers? Just a clown. Not even worthy of my attention.
00:13:26Landon, big names are coming tonight. Make a good impression.
00:13:30Don't worry, Mom. I will.
00:13:36Mom? Landon?
00:13:40Don't call me Mom! You just divorced my daughter and you're already cozying up to this little herp?
00:13:47Shameless!
00:13:50Mom, you can't just say things like that. She and I-
00:13:52Don't call me Mom!
00:13:54You shameless creep. Messing around behind Vivian's back and you think you can call me Mom?
00:13:59Five years. I never once wronged Vivian.
00:14:02That's crap. If you had nothing to hide, why'd she divorce you?
00:14:05Darian, you lived off my sister. Now you're divorced and blowing her money on some other woman?
00:14:09Hand it over. Every last cent.
00:14:11That's right. Ashford money. You're not worthy. Give it back. Today.
00:14:16Do you have any idea who you're talking to?
00:14:18You little tramp. You dare raise your voice at me.
00:14:23I didn't take a single cent of Vivian's money.
00:14:26Who you fooling? A broke nobody like you turning down money? Hand it over!
00:14:31Isn't this my sister's necklace? You stole from our family?
00:14:35My mother left that for her daughter-in-law. Give it back.
00:14:39My sister wore it. That makes it ours. You want it back? Dream on.
00:14:52Give it back. Damn you. I'd rather smash it than let you have it.
00:15:02You animal.
00:15:07Landon, are you okay?
00:15:09I think my ribs are broken. You good for nothing. You dare lay a hand on Landon?
00:15:19You dare hit me? Take them both away.
00:15:22Let go of me. Let go! Dorian, you're done. I'm telling Vivian, you're finished!
00:15:27Master, what do you want done with them?
00:15:33No manners? Then teach them some. Understood.
00:15:37Don't endanger their lives. Send them to the hospital after.
00:15:53Miss Ashford? Anyone here worth a personal toast from you?
00:15:57Those two. Sam Smith and Thomas Miller. Chairmen of WTH Group and DTA Group.
00:16:02They sit at the very top of Havenford City. Everyone's livelihood is in their hands.
00:16:06What about Sir Ray? Sir Ray holds theirs. Mr. Smith, Mr. Miller, good evening.
00:16:14Miss Ashford? I hear you're about to land an investment from Zentra Group. Impressive.
00:16:18Congratulations. Thank you.
00:16:24Miss Ashford, look.
00:16:31Darian? Excuse me.
00:16:38How did you sneak in here? I walked right in. Through the front door.
00:16:42Drop the act. You think you can just waltz in here? You followed us in, didn't you?
00:16:46Darian, this desperate clinging, it's disgusting.
00:16:49You two really flatter yourselves.
00:16:51Oh my gosh. You...
00:16:56Vivian, me and your brother, we got beaten up.
00:16:59What? Who did this? Are you okay?
00:17:01It was Dorian. He's been spending your money fooling around with other women behind your back.
00:17:07Landon and I caught him. When Landon called him out, he beat Landon up.
00:17:10We're at the hospital. Your brother's hurt bad. He didn't even spare me, a helpless old woman.
00:17:16Vivian, you gotta make him pay for what he did to mom. Don't you dare let that animal get away
00:17:20with this.
00:17:21Go see a doctor first. I'll handle this.
00:17:26You hurt Landon and my mom?
00:17:29I did hit him, but Landon was the...
00:17:31Darian, do you even have a conscience? Vivian divorced you. That doesn't give you the right to go after the
00:17:36Ashfield family.
00:17:37Shouldn't you find out what actually happened first?
00:17:41You put someone in the hospital. What's there to explain?
00:17:45I never thought you were this kind of person. We get divorced and you go off the rails and come
00:17:49after my family.
00:17:50That's really what you think of me? You never once stopped to ask why?
00:17:53Nothing justifies what you did.
00:17:56Now, go to the hospital. Apologize to my mom and Landon.
00:18:00If anyone owes an apology, it's them to me.
00:18:04No wonder Vivian divorced you. You really are pathetic.
00:18:09This is a high society gathering. A lowlife like you crashing in to rub shoulders with the rich?
00:18:15Disgusting. Vivian's telling you to apologize. That's mercy. And you still don't know what's good for you.
00:18:20I don't need her mercy. Rub shoulders with you? Ask Raymond.
00:18:25Would he dare start tonight's banquet without me?
00:18:29Big talk. You really don't know your place, do you?
00:18:32So this is Vivian's worthless trash of an ex? Running his mouth in here? He's asking for death.
00:18:38Are you insane? Do you even hear yourself?
00:18:41You have a death wish! Disrespecting Sir Ray, get on your knees!
00:18:44Yeah! Kneel! Now!
00:18:46You want me to kneel? You're not worthy.
00:18:50I'm the chairman of DTA Group. Am I not worthy?
00:18:53Not worthy.
00:18:56Interesting. Then how about me, Sam, chairman of WHT Group? Not even close.
00:19:02Doran, these two are the top billionaires in Havenfort City. One word from them and you're ruined.
00:19:06Are you asking for death? So what? Apologize! Apologize to them right now!
00:19:11I said they're not worthy. Doran, you're asking for death? Fine, but don't drag Vivian down with you.
00:19:17They're not worthy of my apology. Is that so? Then how about the Thorn family?
00:19:22The Thorn family. That's right. Tonight, Sir Ray, acting chairman of Zentra Group, will be here.
00:19:27And the big shot he serves, he's coming too. The Thorn family will meet him on behalf of the entire
00:19:31business world.
00:19:32Tell me, is that enough? Word is, he's the chairman of the Dark Council. Even the president steps out of
00:19:39his car and bows to him.
00:19:40If the Thorn family secures a meeting with him, their power will only grow. The Thorn family is nothing.
00:19:47What the hell did you just say?
00:19:52I know you'd all love the chance to crush me, but sorry, none of you are worthy.
00:20:00Good. Good, good, good, good. In all of Havenport City, you're the only one who dares challenge those at the
00:20:06top.
00:20:06You want the whole city as your enemy? I'll make it happen.
00:20:09Guards! Break his legs first. Let's see how tough the man who defies all of Havenport City really is.
00:20:34Blind fools. Do you even know who he is?
00:20:44Master. Stand down.
00:20:46Hold it.
00:20:49Miss, are you trying to protect him?
00:20:52That's none of your concern. What you need to do right now is apologize and beg for your family's survival.
00:20:58Let me get this straight. You're saying if I don't apologize to him right now,
00:21:01he can annihilate the Thorn family? That's right.
00:21:06Ha! That's writ. The Thorn family runs Havenport City. We've got Sir Ray's backing,
00:21:13and this lowlife thinks he can annihilate us?
00:21:16Laughable. Unless he outranks Sir Ray himself.
00:21:19Today, I'll show you what happens when you cross the Thorn family.
00:21:33Stop! Stop!
00:21:36You dare hit me?
00:21:37First time's a hit. Second time's a kill.
00:21:40Get Raymond. The Thorn meeting's moved up. Tell him to drag Dominic's father here. Now.
00:21:49Miss Bennet, please.
00:21:50Thank you, Mr. Thorn.
00:21:52Sir, the car is ready.
00:21:53Good. Half a lifetime of grinding. And after tonight's banquet, the Thorns finally rise to the top.
00:21:58Rise to the top?
00:21:59Just being sentimental, Miss Bennet. When Sir Ray first came to Havenport City, we served him.
00:22:04Other families mocked us for it. Now Sir Ray rules this city. It's time the Thorns got our respect back.
00:22:09Such vision, Mr. Thorn.
00:22:11You flatter me. We're nothing next to your family.
00:22:14Tell me, Miss Bennet. Have you heard of the Dark Council?
00:22:18Of course. The most secretive organization in the country. They control the military, politics, and business.
00:22:23Their chairman holds more power than the president himself. Exactly. Five years ago, the chairman vanished without a trace. Word
00:22:30is, he's resurfacing tonight.
00:22:33At tonight's banquet?
00:22:35Indeed. A once-in-a-lifetime chance. One meeting with the chairman, and the Thorns have a limitless future.
00:22:42Then here's to the Thorn family's bright future.
00:22:46Looks like Sir Ray's getting impatient.
00:22:50Hello, Sir Ray, you- William! What a fine son you've raised. You have ten minutes. Get to the banquet
00:22:55and beg for mercy, or tonight I annihilate the Thorn family.
00:22:59Beg for mercy? Sir Ray, what's going on? Now, get me to the banquet! Move!
00:23:05Well, well. Looks like the Thorns are in trouble.
00:23:15Serena, the invitation. I got it. Wait for me. I'm almost there.
00:23:20This fiancé of yours? He's way more than you think. Of course he is.
00:23:31Raymond's been notified. Good.
00:23:34Vivian, the banquet's about to start. If he keeps this up, we'll go down with him.
00:23:38Doran, are you done? Do you have any idea how far this has gone? You won't stop till it's beyond
00:23:43saving, is that it?
00:23:44Making a scene? What do you mean, beyond saving? That 20 billion dollar deal?
00:23:49You know better than anyone how much that deal means. To me, to the Ashford family. Keep this up and
00:23:53your life's on the line, too.
00:23:54Yeah. It's so important you'd throw away five years together like it was nothing. Vivian, you have no idea what
00:23:59you walked away from. As for my life...
00:24:10Tonight, I sit right here. Let's see who among you dares take my life.
00:24:18What nerve! Get down from there, kid. The highest power in all of Havenport City. Only the chairman of the
00:24:23Dark Count sits there. Even Sir Ray can only sit next to it.
00:24:27How do you know I'm not the chairman of the Dark Council? And what makes you so sure I'd let
00:24:30Raymond sit beside you?
00:24:31How dare you? Who do you think you are? You really think you're the chairman looking down on us?
00:24:35His identity, you're not worthy to question it.
00:24:38You're right. Tonight, every last one of you is nothing but an ant to me. Outrageous! Guards!
00:24:44Look at you, bluffing. You must have rehearsed this plenty of times. Quite the effort for tonight's show.
00:24:50Fine then. Let's see how long you can keep it up.
00:24:55Shame. A rare beauty like you and you choose to go down with him.
00:24:59You're the one with a death wish. No one in this world is his equal.
00:25:04He's really got you fooled. Let me tell you, he's a divorced good for nothing. Status, wealth, power,
00:25:10standing, even dignity. He has nothing. Calling him a dog? That's a compliment.
00:25:16He has nothing. He's done nothing. He can't accept it, so he comes here to cause a scene.
00:25:21Too bad Vivian saw right through him. Never gave him another chance.
00:25:24So he's bitter, messing around behind her back and even beating her family. He's here to cause chaos.
00:25:29He can't stand that Vivian's about to land a 20 billion dollar investment. He wants to ruin this entire banquet.
00:25:32Your arrogance? Truly eye-opening. Drop the act, Dorian. You think all these
00:25:37Alettes here can't see through about me your pathetic little scheme?
00:25:40So that's why you came tonight? Dorian, I never imagined you could stoop this low.
00:25:45Every word I say, you doubt. Everything he says about me, you believe without question.
00:25:50Vivian, in all these years, did you ever once try to know me?
00:25:54You're blaming Vivian now? She supported you for five whole years! You don't deserve her!
00:25:58Everything she has, I gave her. The ones who owe an apology? The entire Ashford family.
00:26:08Enough, Dorian! Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough? Yes, I know the divorce hit you hard,
00:26:12but I compensated you. What about you? When will you ever man up and take some responsibility?
00:26:16Shut your mouth! Who gave you the right to lecture Mr. Blackwell?
00:26:21Hiding behind a woman? That's all you can do? For old time's sake, just apologize. I'll use the Ashford
00:26:28family's resources to keep you alive. No need. All you really care about is landing that investment.
00:26:36Dorian, you! He doesn't want your kindness. Why keep trying?
00:26:43He's crossed everyone here tonight. No one can save him. He's right. Vivian, you can't carry all
00:26:48of this alone. The way he's disrespected all of us, that's beyond forgiveness.
00:26:55Vivian, this good for nothing is out to ruin you. Let him die. He brought it on himself. Stop going
00:27:00soft. The company matters more. You never understood how much I sacrificed for the Ashford family these
00:27:07five years. But I don't blame you. We come from different worlds, different visions, different
00:27:12responsibilities. There's nothing left to say. Whatever you do tonight, the Ashford family will
00:27:17deny any connection to you. That's for the best. Can't keep the act up, can you? Dorian, you're a low
00:27:22life. Normally, I wouldn't bother with someone like you. But tonight, you forgot your place, offended
00:27:26everyone, tried to frame Vivian. I won't tolerate you one second longer. You've got three minutes left.
00:27:46Three minutes. Sorry. Your time's up. Tonight, as heir to the Thorn family, I call on all of you.
00:27:53Spread the word across Havenfeard City. Cut off all his lifelines. Ensure his doom.
00:27:58I speak for WHT group. We stand with the Thorn family. Ensure his doom. And DTA group, we stand with
00:28:05the Thorn
00:28:05family. Ensure his doom. Count us in. And us. All these big names against him, the kid's dead meat.
00:28:11Count us in. He was asking for death, now he's done for. Vivian, thank God you divorced him. Who knows
00:28:16how far he'd have dragged you down. Is this what you wanted, Dorian? After tonight, there's no place
00:28:21for you in all of Havenford City. Even as a beggar, no one would spare you a coin. Still putting
00:28:26on an act?
00:28:28One minute. One minute. You think Sir Ray's gonna show up with my father in one minute? You never know
00:28:36when to quit, do you? Fine. Let me show you what true despair looks like. How dare you? All of
00:28:43you!
00:28:57Sir Ray? Sir Ray, you're here? Welcome, Sir Ray. I was gonna let you taste despair nice and slow, but
00:29:07now that Sir Ray's here,
00:29:08your fate just got a whole lot worse. If that's so, I can't wait. He has a death wish.
00:29:16Sir Ray's here. Shouldn't we go say hello?
00:29:23You're still sitting here? You really have to do this your way? Why should I? Sir Ray is here.
00:29:27Plead with him for even a slim chance and the others might back off, but if you just sit here,
00:29:30you'll offend him and throw away your last chance. You still don't see it. Tonight they should be
00:29:35begging me. You're still dreaming? Dorian, take a look at yourself. Five years, zero ambition, achieve
00:29:41nothing. If I hadn't taken you in, you couldn't even feed yourself. Everyone in this room is miles above you.
00:29:46You were born beneath them, always will be. Why can't you just bow your head?
00:29:50You're wrong, Vivian. No one is born above anyone else. I may come from nothing, but right here,
00:29:57right now, I, Dorian Blackwood, have nothing to fear.
00:30:05Raymond!
00:30:08What were you all doing just now? Sir Ray, just a small overset at the banquet. A fly got in,
00:30:12that's all. A fly? Just a fool digging his own grave. Not worth your attention, Sir Ray. Exactly,
00:30:17we'll have him taken care of right now. You all quite the big shots, huh?
00:30:25Junior dominant, at your service. Welcome, Sir Ray. Sir Ray, my father, he didn't come with you? If William
00:30:32could have come with me, that would have been a good thing. That tone. Sir Ray's not happy with my
00:30:37father, so Dorian telling Sir Ray to bring my father here? Pure blood. My apologies, Sir Ray,
00:30:42I overstepped. That good for nothing earlier claimed you'd bring my father here. Couldn't
00:30:46tell if he was lying, so I had to ask. Good for nothing? That's right, him. Utterly useless. A son
00:30:55-in-law,
00:30:55Vivian kicked to the curb. Worthless trash. Bitter over his divorce from Vivian, he forced his way into
00:31:03the banquet. Rude. Disrespectful. He insulted every guest here, over and over. He even dragged
00:31:09your name through the mud, Sir Ray. The man's out of control, you need to put him in his place.
00:31:12That's right. He's way out of line. To protect your honor, I rallied every name in this room. We were
00:31:17ready to make him pay with his life. We cut off all his lifelines, he should count it as an
00:31:21honor.
00:31:21We just didn't expect you to show up in person, Sir Ray. Good, good, good. You've all done a fine
00:31:28job.
00:31:28You're too kind, Sir Ray. It's our duty. Give us a moment, we'll dispose of him so you don't have
00:31:32to
00:31:32watch. Dispose of him? The ones being disposed of tonight are all of you! Sir Ray. Raymond! Dorian!
00:31:43Have you lost your mind? Run. Forget him. If he wants to die, let him. We can't go down with
00:31:49him.
00:31:50Who gave you the guts to call Sir Ray by name? Do you really want to-
00:31:57Sir Ray, what- what? Get lost.
00:32:04It's over! It's over, Vivian! Sir Ray is in a rage! We need to go! We can't get caught up
00:32:08in this!
00:32:10Dorian, I tried to save you. You're the one with a death wish. I owe you nothing now.
00:32:19Raymond Jones pays his respects to Mr. Blackbook.
00:32:22We pay our respects to Mr. Blackbook!
00:32:31Mr. Blackwood?
00:32:33What the hell is going on?
00:32:36Impossible. This can't be real.
00:32:38I arrived late, Master. Please punish me.
00:32:40Please punish us, Mr. Blackwood!
00:32:42If you'd come sooner, I'd have missed the show. Your men sure know how to throw their weight around.
00:32:47Master, this is on me. I'll make it right. What are you standing around by? Move!
00:32:55Master, please. The seat of honor is yours.
00:32:57The seat of honor. The highest seat in Havenport City. I sit there, I might upset a few people.
00:33:04Who dares?
00:33:06Master, please. Take your seat.
00:33:10Then don't mind if I do.
00:33:14Everyone who disrespected Mr. Blackwood today, I, Raymond, will settle every last score.
00:33:20Sir Ray, you've got this wrong. He's just Vivian's ex-husband. Why would you bow to him?
00:33:26Shut your mouth!
00:33:27Dad, why are you-
00:33:31You fool! On your knees!
00:33:36Don't call me Dad! You're no son of mine!
00:33:40Dad, what's going on?
00:33:42You dare ask me?
00:33:44You know damn well what you did tonight!
00:33:48What did I do?
00:33:49I gave everything for the Thorn family! We were one step from the top!
00:33:53But you, you ruined it all!
00:33:55You'll be the death of the Thorn family!
00:33:58Dad, I didn't know! I swear I didn't know! Dad-
00:34:01Get away from me!
00:34:04Sir Ray, I take full blame for tonight.
00:34:07I'll accept any punishment. As for that wretch, his life is yours to decide.
00:34:10No! Dad, you can't do this! Shut him up!
00:34:12Dad!
00:34:15William, do you remember what I said?
00:34:17Ten minutes to show your face, where the Thorn family faces annihilation.
00:34:21You were late.
00:34:23Sir Ray, all these years, the Thorn family has served you faithfully. You've seen it yourself.
00:34:26I beg you, Sir Ray, please, let the Thorn family live.
00:34:31Mr. Blackwood.
00:34:35William, why Grove like this?
00:34:37Mr. Blackwood?
00:34:39Dominic said the Thorn family has Sir Ray's personal protection on top of the world.
00:34:43Why would he fear anything?
00:34:44How dare he say such a thing! Seize him! Bring him here to make amends!
00:34:49Kneel!
00:34:51Punish him however you see Sith! You have my word!
00:34:53He threatened to break my legs, test how hard my bones are.
00:34:56Then he rallied the room to cut off my lifeline.
00:34:58William, if you were the one he disrespected, what would you do?
00:35:02William, if that animal dared say those words, your Thorn family sure has some nerve.
00:35:08I...
00:35:08I...
00:35:11The Thorn family is finished.
00:35:14You! You pushed this entire family into the abyss!
00:35:18Oh, I didn't know. I really didn't know.
00:35:22This can't be real. It can't be...
00:35:26Nothing's impossible.
00:35:30This is what you chose?
00:35:33I...
00:35:34I said Ashford Group owes everything to me.
00:35:37I said Zentra Group came to Havenport City on my orders.
00:35:40I said this seat of honor at the head table was set for me!
00:35:45Do you believe me now?
00:35:47Five years.
00:35:48You hid this from me the whole time?
00:35:51Yes.
00:35:52Why? Why didn't you tell me?
00:35:54All you had to do was say something and none of this would have happened!
00:35:59If I told you, would you have believed me?
00:36:06Stop twisting the truth.
00:36:07Everyone here saw how much Vivian sacrificed for this company.
00:36:10You claim you arranged everything. You just want an excuse to blame her.
00:36:13Dorian, are you even a man?
00:36:17You... You hit me?
00:36:18One more word and I'll end you.
00:36:22Enough. Stop.
00:36:24I don't know why you hid this from me.
00:36:26But I poured everything into building Ashford Group these five years.
00:36:29You can't erase all my effort with one sentence.
00:36:32Vivian, you think far too highly of yourself.
00:36:35Sir Ray?
00:36:35Without Mr. Blackwood behind the scenes, what would you be?
00:36:38A mere woman? Nothing.
00:36:39You think you deserve that position?
00:36:41When the Ashford's went bankrupt, you were shattered.
00:36:44I was afraid my identity would burden you.
00:36:46So I stayed five years as a nobody.
00:36:50But all those years meant nothing to you.
00:36:52You misunderstood. That's not what I meant.
00:36:54Nothing to explain.
00:36:56Vivian, your power, your status means nothing to me.
00:36:58She's right about one thing though.
00:37:00We're not on the same level.
00:37:02After tonight, you're on your own.
00:37:05Any of you got something to say?
00:37:06Sir Ray, tonight it was all a misunderstanding.
00:37:09A misunderstanding?
00:37:10I was fool enough to believe that animal, Dominic.
00:37:12I'm willing to make amends to Mr. Blackwood.
00:37:14If Mr. Blackwood has any demands, the Miller family will comply.
00:37:17No questions asked.
00:37:18Yes, I'll make amends to Mr. Blackwood too.
00:37:21The Smith family will meet any demand he has.
00:37:24We're sorry, Mr. Blackwood.
00:37:26Oh, just a misunderstanding.
00:37:28Well, then I won't press the matter.
00:37:32Go ahead.
00:37:33Sever your own lifelines.
00:37:38Mr. Blackwood, you're quite the comedian.
00:37:40Right.
00:37:40That joke was certainly unique.
00:37:42This isn't a joke.
00:37:44Mr. Blackwood, what do you mean?
00:37:47Exactly what I said.
00:37:50Mr. Blackwood, this demand, it's asking too much.
00:37:53Oh, you can't do it?
00:37:55Mr. Blackwood, name any compensation and we'll deliver.
00:37:57Luxury cars, mansions, rare treasures, even our business empires.
00:38:00But severing our own lifelines.
00:38:02You were far more decisive when you cut off my lifeline.
00:38:05That was all a misunderstanding.
00:38:08Mr. Blackwood, every elite in Havenford City is here tonight.
00:38:11Asking us all to sever our lifelines, that's asking us to disappear.
00:38:14And?
00:38:15You see a problem with that?
00:38:17I respect you.
00:38:18That's why I call you sir.
00:38:19But push too far and you'll only bring disaster upon yourself.
00:38:23Tomas!
00:38:24Sir Ray, you're the king of Havenford City.
00:38:26We follow you.
00:38:26But him, what he's doing tonight, we don't accept it.
00:38:29Do you have any idea who you're talking to?
00:38:32Sir Ray, everything has its limits.
00:38:34Yes, we were out of line, so we'll humble ourselves and offer compensation.
00:38:38But wipe us out?
00:38:39That will never happen.
00:38:40Everyone here built Havenford City from the ground up.
00:38:42Who is he to demand our annihilation with a single word?
00:38:44Right.
00:38:45We're powerful men.
00:38:46We don't sever our lifelines over some casual remark.
00:38:48You're rebelling?
00:38:50That's a strong word, Sir Ray.
00:38:52We're just protecting ourselves.
00:38:54Apologies and compensation, fine.
00:38:56But sever our lifelines?
00:38:57Ask anyone here.
00:38:58Who would agree?
00:39:00Never!
00:39:01Earning Sir Ray's fear.
00:39:03Impressive, I'll give you that.
00:39:05But let me warn you.
00:39:06If we all stand against you tonight, you can't stop us.
00:39:10You're that sure?
00:39:12Damn right I am.
00:39:16I've ruled the business world for 50 years.
00:39:18I have real power.
00:39:19Take away the fear Sir Ray gives you.
00:39:21What's left?
00:39:22If you've got what it takes, then prove it.
00:39:24Fine.
00:39:24You want proof?
00:39:25I'll give it to you, Jessica.
00:39:26Yes, master.
00:39:28Make it happen.
00:39:28Three minutes.
00:39:30Bankrupt the Miller family.
00:39:31The Miller family's legacy wasn't built to crumble in three minutes.
00:39:34Even Sir Ray couldn't pull that off.
00:39:36You're wrong, Thomas.
00:39:38Mr. Blackwood wants you bankrupt.
00:39:40Three minutes is plenty.
00:39:42Had you severed your own lifeline, maybe you'd still have a chance.
00:39:45But it's too late.
00:39:46The Miller family is finished.
00:39:48Sir Ray, you don't need to protect him like this.
00:39:50Besides, I'm not the only one here.
00:39:52The Smith family stands with the Millers.
00:39:54Oh, you want to go down together?
00:39:55Fine, I'll settle you both at once.
00:39:57Yes, master.
00:40:01You're determined to destroy us completely?
00:40:03Enough!
00:40:04You've disrespected Mr. Blackwell one too many times.
00:40:05Seize them both!
00:40:07Sir Ray, you'd make enemies of us.
00:40:09For him?
00:40:10You think you're worthy of being compared to Mr. Blackwood?
00:40:12Our businesses keep all of Havenfield City running.
00:40:14As for him, unless he's got backing that can crush this entire world,
00:40:18we'll never sever our own lifeline.
00:40:19That's right.
00:40:20Never.
00:40:26Mr. Miller, it's bad.
00:40:28The group's been short-sold.
00:40:29We're about to go bankrupt.
00:40:31What did you say?
00:40:33My fiance wants to cut off your lifeline.
00:40:35Why shouldn't he?
00:40:41This man is my fiance.
00:40:42He's marrying into the Bennett family.
00:40:44Is that qualification enough for you?
00:40:46The Bennett family?
00:40:48The biggest conglomerate in the country.
00:40:49They control the global economy.
00:40:51The Bennett family?
00:40:52Even presidents and world leaders fear them.
00:40:54He's connected to the Bennetts?
00:40:55How is that possible?
00:40:57Nothing's impossible.
00:40:58He's the one the Bennett family chose.
00:41:00Bring in the gifts.
00:41:04From the Bennett family to Dorian.
00:41:06One custom Rolex Daytona.
00:41:07One Mayhav Zeppler.
00:41:08One private tropical island.
00:41:10One unlimited black card with global access.
00:41:12And full ownership of this cruise ship and every port along its route.
00:41:16Our first meeting.
00:41:17These are just small tokens.
00:41:18Please don't think poorly of them.
00:41:20You're-
00:41:20Serena of the Bennett family.
00:41:23Your rightful fiance.
00:41:26Vivian.
00:41:27You don't think she's the one Dorian was hiding from you?
00:41:30Fiance.
00:41:32A cruise ship and ports?
00:41:33A small token?
00:41:34These gifts alone are worth more than all our assets combined.
00:41:39No wonder.
00:41:40No wonder you didn't give a damn about any of us.
00:41:43No wonder Sir Ray protected you like that.
00:41:45I was blind.
00:41:46The Miller family is finished.
00:41:49After tonight, there'll be no more Thomas Miller in Havenport City.
00:41:54I, Thomas Miller, will sever my own lifeline.
00:41:57But I have one last request.
00:41:59Please, Mr. Blackwood.
00:42:00Spare the younger generation of the Miller family.
00:42:03The decent ones, sure.
00:42:08Thank you, Mr. Blackwood.
00:42:12What about the rest of you?
00:42:13We're willing to sever our own lifelines.
00:42:15All we ask, spare our young, Mr. Blackwood.
00:42:19The reckoning for these families, handle it.
00:42:22Consider it done, Mr. Blackwood.
00:42:27So, shouldn't we have that talk now?
00:42:29If you're in the mood, I'm all yours tonight.
00:42:31Too noisy here.
00:42:32Let's step outside.
00:42:34Okay.
00:42:38Wait.
00:42:40Anything else, Mrs. Ashford?
00:42:43So, she's your trump card tonight, isn't she?
00:42:45Whether she is or not, it's for you.
00:42:48Drop the act, Dorian.
00:42:49You said you hid your identity for Vivian, but you've been with this woman all along.
00:42:52You betrayed her, and now you're using this woman to crush her?
00:42:55You have no shame!
00:43:04How dare you!
00:43:06Did anyone ask you to speak?
00:43:07You don't even know your place.
00:43:09Who else should I slap?
00:43:10Say that again!
00:43:12Watch your hands in your mouth.
00:43:14Disrespect my sister or my brother-in-law again.
00:43:16I'll throw you out to feed the fish.
00:43:19Doran, for a moment, I truly believed you'd made something of yourself.
00:43:22Making Sir Ray bow.
00:43:24Making the elite meal.
00:43:25I was proud.
00:43:26At least, the man I chose wasn't completely worthless.
00:43:29But now, you make me sick.
00:43:31Five years, Dorian.
00:43:33I've never been this disappointed in you.
00:43:34What's your point?
00:43:35I know you don't want to hear this, but it's the truth.
00:43:38Sure, you stole the spotlight tonight.
00:43:40So what?
00:43:40You didn't do it alone.
00:43:41You're just hiding behind another woman.
00:43:43You've never once stood on your own like a real man.
00:43:48Miss Ashford, you never feast to amaze me.
00:43:50If that's all you've got, we're done here.
00:43:53Let's go.
00:43:55And who's this?
00:43:57My ex-wife.
00:43:58Ah, I see.
00:43:59Then I should thank her for giving up such an incredible man.
00:44:02Foolish woman, twisting words to comfort herself.
00:44:34How pathetic.
00:44:37Miss Bennett, you're the heir of the Bennett family.
00:44:40Don't waste your time on such a useless man.
00:44:43He'll only ever disappoint you.
00:44:44Since you know I'm the Bennett heir, what makes you think you can tell me what to do?
00:44:48All right, my judgment isn't as shallow as yours.
00:44:51And let me be clear.
00:44:52With your standing, you're not worthy of judging my fiancee.
00:44:54Let's go.
00:44:55Sure.
00:44:59Hopelessly stupid.
00:45:00Who's she fooling?
00:45:02She picked up crap we threw out and acts like it's some prize?
00:45:05She's lost her mind.
00:45:06Linda.
00:45:07Linda.
00:45:07Vivian, you're too soft.
00:45:09Did you hear how those two talked to you?
00:45:11All that snark and arrogance.
00:45:14Actually, they weren't entirely wrong.
00:45:17We're still far behind.
00:45:19Darian, I'll make you watch Ashford Group rise.
00:45:21And when that day comes, I hope you understand.
00:45:23Only those who climb on their own reach the top.
00:45:26Borrowed power never lasts.
00:45:28You'll have nothing.
00:45:31Miss Alba, you mean the 20 billion investment.
00:45:34We're still giving it to Ashford Group?
00:45:36That's right.
00:45:37Why?
00:45:37Is this the Master's order?
00:45:39No.
00:45:40The Master gave no such instruction.
00:45:42Then isn't this a bad move?
00:45:43Vivian already cut ties with the Master.
00:45:45Exactly why we continue.
00:45:47For Ashford Group, this is their shot at the top.
00:45:50But to get the investment, they need to put up 1 billion in upfront capital.
00:45:54That's the absolute limit of what Vivian can scrape together.
00:45:58You mean, let them drain themselves dry first?
00:46:02Exactly.
00:46:03Starting tomorrow, every backdoor favor Zentra Group gave Ashford is gone.
00:46:07All partnerships through our channels, terminated.
00:46:10I see.
00:46:12Once it's all cut off, Ashford Group's capital chain collapses overnight.
00:46:17Vivian thinks she's so capable.
00:46:18Thinks she can carry the Ashford family to the top?
00:46:21I'll give her the chance to prove it.
00:46:23Once their capital chain collapses, they can't produce the 1 billion upfront capital.
00:46:28The initial payment stalls, the 20 billion deal falls through, and the penalty for breach of
00:46:33Core Act crushes Ashford Group for good.
00:46:37Now, now, what if Vivian actually pulls off a miracle?
00:46:41Vivian, she doesn't have it in her.
00:46:44Then the Ashford family brought it on themselves.
00:46:47Mrs. Alba, is this revenge against the Ashford family?
00:46:51No.
00:46:52I'm giving them a chance to see what they really are.
00:46:55Without the master, they're nothing.
00:46:59All right, now we can sort out what's between us.
00:47:02I never knew I had a fiancé I've never even met.
00:47:05Your father never mentioned it?
00:47:07Thirteen years ago, he and my grandfather made a marriage arrangement for us.
00:47:12This is the keepsake your father left with our family.
00:47:17That's definitely the old man's stuff, but...
00:47:23Why was this marriage arrangement made by him and your grandfather?
00:47:26Shouldn't your marriage be the Bennett family's call?
00:47:29The Bennetts are too high and mighty to bother with something like that.
00:47:32What do you mean?
00:47:33I grew up at my grandfather's.
00:47:35The Bennetts didn't take me back until three years ago.
00:47:38I see.
00:47:39It's a long story.
00:47:40Then let's save it for another time.
00:47:42It's getting late.
00:47:43How about tomorrow night?
00:47:44I'm flexible.
00:47:46Whatever works for you.
00:47:47Tomorrow night, then.
00:47:48You pick the place.
00:47:49This is the Bennett family's supreme card.
00:47:51Only one in the country.
00:47:52It gives you access to all Bennett resources.
00:47:54Top-tier treatment at every Bennett property.
00:47:56So?
00:47:58Skyland, the most luxurious hell in the country.
00:47:59It's a Bennett property.
00:48:00If you don't mind, let's meet there tomorrow.
00:48:02I'll keep the card, then.
00:48:03Good, then.
00:48:04We'll head out.
00:48:04See you tomorrow night.
00:48:05Tomorrow night.
00:48:07Miss Bennett's agenda runs deep.
00:48:11Old man, you'd better not be making trouble for me.
00:48:22Dorian, my son.
00:48:23If you're reading this, you're old enough to start a family.
00:48:25I know you'll want to break off this marriage arrangement,
00:48:27but I'm telling you now, you can't.
00:48:29I can't?
00:48:33Vivian, it's late.
00:48:35Aren't you going to rest?
00:48:36No.
00:48:36But your body can't take this, can it?
00:48:38I'm fine.
00:48:39The banquet's ruined.
00:48:40We need a new plan, fast.
00:48:42That 20 billion investment won't wait.
00:48:44It's all that worthless loser Dorian's fault.
00:48:46If he hadn't caused trouble all day, the contract would have been signed.
00:48:48Enough.
00:48:51Hello?
00:48:53What did you say?
00:48:54The investment's still on?
00:48:55Was that Zentra Group?
00:48:57Yes.
00:48:57They're continuing the investment in Ashford Group.
00:48:59That's amazing.
00:49:01After that worthless loser trashed the banquet, I thought we'd lose everything.
00:49:05But Zentra Group still chose us.
00:49:07Exactly.
00:49:08No matter how much Dorian acts out, Zentra Group still sees Ashford Group as the best bet.
00:49:13Get the word out.
00:49:14Starting tomorrow, every department goes all in on the new project.
00:49:17We're securing this investment.
00:49:19Yes.
00:49:20Once that money lands, Ashford Group will be the most powerful in Havenpert City.
00:49:24Dorian might even crawl back, begging for a glance from you.
00:49:28That would only disgust me.
00:49:30The only thing you can truly count on is yourself.
00:49:33That's something you'll never understand, Dorian.
00:49:35Serena's beautiful and brilliant, destined for greatness.
00:49:38Her grandfather saved my life, so you cannot break this marriage arrangement.
00:49:41I'm leaving this ring as the keepsake.
00:49:43Figures still making trouble for me.
00:49:45After all this time, it found its way back.
00:49:48All these years, and you still won't accept the dragon ring, Master?
00:49:51No one's more worthy of wearing it than you.
00:49:53Five years in hiding.
00:49:55It's time to let go.
00:50:08Jessica humbly welcomes back the chairman of the Dark Council.
00:50:11It's just the ring.
00:50:12It's only us here.
00:50:12No need for the ceremony.
00:50:13Master, the entire Dark Council has been waiting for you to wear the dragon rake in return.
00:50:18All right, all right.
00:50:19The thing I asked you to look into, what'd you find?
00:50:22The investigation is complete.
00:50:24Eighteen years ago, the Bennett family had an internal power struggle.
00:50:28Young Serena and her mother moved to her grandfather's.
00:50:31Three years ago, she was brought back for her talent.
00:50:34She's now chairwoman of Bennett Group.
00:50:37Sounds like she's the real deal.
00:50:39My old man had a good eye.
00:50:40The internal power struggle hasn't ended.
00:50:42Word is, others want to control Serena through marriage and seize back her power.
00:50:46So that's why she came all this way to find me?
00:50:48She doesn't seem to know your true identity.
00:50:50She just doesn't want to marry someone with an agenda.
00:50:52An ordinary man is easier to control.
00:50:54Doesn't know who I am?
00:50:55Interesting.
00:50:56Will you accept the marriage arrangement?
00:50:58Her grandfather saved my father once.
00:51:00I'll help her out this one time.
00:51:02Consider it repaying an old debt.
00:51:03Understood.
00:51:08Dorian, hope I'm not waking you this late.
00:51:10Old Jake?
00:51:10Tomorrow's the Ashworth family gathering.
00:51:12Come to Skyland for lunch.
00:51:14Haven't seen you or Vivian in a while.
00:51:16Tomorrow's not great.
00:51:17I've got things to handle.
00:51:18Is Vivian keeping you home?
00:51:19Wait till she shows up tomorrow.
00:51:21I'll give her an earful.
00:51:22Old Jake.
00:51:23Actually, she and I already-
00:51:24Come on, do this old man a favor.
00:51:25It's late, I'm hanging up.
00:51:26See you there.
00:51:28You're going back to the Ashford family?
00:51:30Five years married to Vivian,
00:51:31old Jake treated me like his own son.
00:51:33This trip, it's a farewell.
00:51:36Tell Raymond to prepare a gift.
00:51:37I'll bring it myself tomorrow.
00:51:39Yes, Master.
00:51:41Master, word of your return has spread.
00:51:43The Regional Guardians and the Chief Commander all want to meet you.
00:51:45They're planning a return ceremony in your honor.
00:51:47Shall I-
00:51:47No rush.
00:51:48Drop me off here.
00:51:50Yes, Master.
00:51:52Master, since it's a private family dinner, I kept things low key.
00:51:55Prepared this bottle of Lafotte for you.
00:51:57What year?
00:51:57A hundred year reserve from the estate's private seller.
00:52:00Extremely rare.
00:52:01Worth tens of millions.
00:52:03A hundred years.
00:52:04Thoughtful of you.
00:52:05Master, shall I walk you in?
00:52:06No need.
00:52:07Head back.
00:52:08Dorian?
00:52:21Long time no see.
00:52:22Sophia, it's been a while.
00:52:24It's been forever.
00:52:25Look at me now.
00:52:26Department head at DTA Group.
00:52:28DTA Group?
00:52:30Mm-hmm.
00:52:30You didn't know?
00:52:31It's owned by the Miller family.
00:52:33Thomas Miller.
00:52:34Yeah, I've heard of him.
00:52:35You've actually heard of Mr. Miller?
00:52:37No.
00:52:38I met Thomas in person yesterday.
00:52:40You met him?
00:52:41Oh, right.
00:52:42That business elite gathering yesterday.
00:52:44You must have tagged along with my sister.
00:52:46Spotted Mr. Miller from across the room.
00:52:48So, head of a top family.
00:52:49Pretty intimidating, huh?
00:52:50Not really.
00:52:51All I remember is him begging me to spare the Miller family.
00:52:54Didn't feel much presence.
00:52:55There you go with your nonsense again.
00:52:57Anyway, forget it.
00:52:59I heard things between you and my sister aren't great lately.
00:53:02Your sister and I actually-
00:53:04Oh, stop making excuses for her.
00:53:05I already know.
00:53:06When our family went bankrupt, it hit her hard.
00:53:08She's been cold ever since.
00:53:10And you dropping everything to take care of her?
00:53:12She just sees that as lazy.
00:53:13No ambition.
00:53:15Me?
00:53:15I'd kill for a sweet, caring boyfriend who'd spoil me rotten.
00:53:19But I can never find one.
00:53:22How about you divorce my sister and marry me instead?
00:53:28Look, I'm in management at DTA Group now.
00:53:30My salary?
00:53:32More than enough for us both.
00:53:33I'm sweet.
00:53:33I'd never look down on you.
00:53:35Plus, my figure's way better than my sister's, right?
00:53:38Um, cut it out.
00:53:40Fine.
00:53:40You don't have to divorce her.
00:53:41She's never home anyway.
00:53:42When you're free, just come keep me company.
00:53:44I won't house that sound.
00:53:45What are you even saying?
00:53:46Just kidding.
00:53:47Testing if you're loyal to my sister.
00:53:49Look how nervous you got.
00:53:51Anyway, if she really thinks you're a slapper,
00:53:53come to Haventine City.
00:53:54I've got your back.
00:53:57Deal.
00:53:57Sophia, who's this?
00:53:59Him?
00:54:00He's my brother-in-law.
00:54:01And my good friend.
00:54:03Sophia's good friend, huh?
00:54:04I'm Vincent.
00:54:05Executive Director at WTH Group.
00:54:07Dear Ian.
00:54:08Which company are you with?
00:54:09Work?
00:54:10Don't have one at the moment.
00:54:11Oh, no job.
00:54:12And you're here to dine at Skyland?
00:54:13Why else would I be here?
00:54:15My apologies.
00:54:17Skyland's a members-only hotel.
00:54:18Seeing how you're dressed, I thought you were applying to be a janitor.
00:54:20No offense.
00:54:22Vincent, what's that supposed to mean?
00:54:24Just a joke.
00:54:25I'm reminding him.
00:54:27Dress for the occasion.
00:54:28Save yourself the embarrassment.
00:54:29Oh, right.
00:54:30You haven't found a job yet.
00:54:31Then the outfit makes sense.
00:54:32My bad.
00:54:33Tell you what.
00:54:34Since you're Sophia's friend, I'll give you a shot.
00:54:36If you really can't find work, call me.
00:54:38With my position, getting you a janitor spot at WTH Group is no problem at all.
00:54:42Vincent!
00:54:45I could mop floors at WTH Group.
00:54:48But you'd better ask Sam Smith first.
00:54:49Does he have the guts?
00:54:50How dare you disrespect Mr. Smith?
00:54:52What are you saying?
00:54:53He's the chairman of WTH Group.
00:54:55It's fine.
00:54:56You don't know yet.
00:54:57But let me tell you.
00:54:58Sam Smith kneels before me.
00:55:00That's all he's good for.
00:55:01You've got the nerve to say that?
00:55:02Any idea what'll happen if Mr. Smith hears this?
00:55:05What?
00:55:05He's gonna cut off my lifeline again?
00:55:07You?
00:55:08Not worthy.
00:55:09A nobody like you.
00:55:10One word from Mr. Smith and you're dead.
00:55:12Know your place.
00:55:13Sam can barely save himself right now.
00:55:15You think he still has that kind of power?
00:55:18Kid, you really want to find out what happens when you cross Mr. Smith?
00:55:21Enough!
00:55:22Vincent, Dorian's my friend.
00:55:24Do you have to go at him like this?
00:55:25He disrespected Mr. Smith first.
00:55:27I'm just giving him a warning.
00:55:28I've got no interest arguing with lowlife trash.
00:55:31But for Sophia's sake, one warning.
00:55:34Some things aren't for you to say.
00:55:35Keep running your mouth, you won't even know how you died.
00:55:38Oh yeah?
00:55:39I'd love to find out.
00:55:40Stop!
00:55:41Don't say anymore.
00:55:42Vincent's still a senior exec at W.H.T. Group.
00:55:44If this blows up, there's no fixing it.
00:55:46And if my sister finds out, she'll blame you.
00:55:51He's been bothering you, and you can't stand him.
00:55:54Yeah, that obvious, huh?
00:55:56So let me handle this little problem for you.
00:55:58No, don't.
00:55:59I don't want you getting in trouble because of me.
00:56:04Don't worry.
00:56:05He's not important enough to cause me trouble.
00:56:07Still, no.
00:56:08But-
00:56:08Drop it.
00:56:09I mean it.
00:56:10Or I'm getting mad at you.
00:56:13Okay, okay, okay.
00:56:15Let's head in.
00:56:16The family dinner's about to start.
00:56:18Family dinner?
00:56:19Sophia, you're bringing him to a family dinner?
00:56:25Is there a problem?
00:56:27Sophia, you're incredible.
00:56:28You deserve a man with real success.
00:56:30Real power.
00:56:32Not some loud mouth who has nothing.
00:56:33How can you bring him to a family dinner?
00:56:35To meet your parents?
00:56:36Vincent, who I bring to dinner is none of your damn business.
00:56:39Even if Dorian has nothing, I choose him.
00:56:43Let's go.
00:56:45Don't take what Vincent said to heart.
00:56:47He thinks he's something because of his status.
00:56:49But to me, no matter how high he climbs,
00:56:51he'll never measure up to you.
00:56:54Okay, I won't.
00:56:56Well, isn't that Sophia?
00:56:57Sophia, haven't seen you in days and now you're hanging around this broke loser?
00:57:02Olivia, what are you doing here?
00:57:04I'm here with my boyfriend for business.
00:57:06But you, Sophia, aren't you Miss High and Mighty at work?
00:57:08How come you look so desperate now?
00:57:11Dragging some broke nobody into Skyland?
00:57:15You...
00:57:16No, Dorian, don't.
00:57:20Why not?
00:57:22Her dad is Sam Smith, chairman of WTH group.
00:57:25Her boyfriend's got serious connections too.
00:57:28We can't afford to cross them.
00:57:30What are you two whispering about?
00:57:32Hit too close to home?
00:57:33Nothing to say?
00:57:35Babe, you can't just call her out like that in public.
00:57:37Now look, she's completely familiar.
00:57:40Huh.
00:57:41Sophia, I thought you were so above it all.
00:57:43Turns out you're nothing but trash.
00:57:50Sam's daughter, huh?
00:57:52Watch your mouth.
00:57:55Dorian, why did you hit her?
00:57:58She runs her mouth too much.
00:57:59Had to shut her up.
00:58:01Blind piece of trash, how dare you?
00:58:03You touched my woman?
00:58:04You got a death wish or something?
00:58:06He didn't mean it.
00:58:08Didn't mean it?
00:58:09Sophia, do you hear yourself?
00:58:11What, I shoved my own face into his hand and asked for it?
00:58:14Isn't that what happened?
00:58:16Here's your one chance, punk.
00:58:18Get on your knees and beg Olivia for forgiveness.
00:58:20Maybe I'll only break one arm and spare your pathetic life.
00:58:23As for her, she's easy on the eyes.
00:58:25She can keep me and Olivia company for a couple nights.
00:58:29Otherwise, don't blame me for destroying you both.
00:58:32Then let me give you a chance.
00:58:34Break your own legs, now, and make amends to Sophia.
00:58:37Are you blind?
00:58:38Do you have any idea who we are?
00:58:40Give us a chance.
00:58:41Who gave you the nerve?
00:58:42So you'd rather do this the hard way?
00:58:45We can't win this, Dorian.
00:58:46Stop fighting them.
00:58:48Even if my sister were here, she'd have to bow to them.
00:58:50Don't worry, I'm here.
00:58:51No one touches you today.
00:58:53One minute, apologize to Sophia or face the consequences.
00:58:57The man who can make me apologize hasn't been born yet.
00:59:00One minute, time's up.
00:59:03Daniel, Darian, go now while you still can.
00:59:06Don't be scared, they're the ones who should be afraid.
00:59:11Who dares lay a hand on Sam Smith's daughter and Thomas Miller's son?
00:59:24Dad, that's him.
00:59:25He has zero respect for the Miller family.
00:59:27Exactly.
00:59:28Dad, look at my face.
00:59:29He did this.
00:59:30You have to crush him today and make him pay.
00:59:32Courting death?
00:59:34Black!
00:59:35Don't worry.
00:59:36He dared to touch you.
00:59:37No one can save him now.
00:59:39Guards!
00:59:41Seize the scum who laid hands on Olivia.
00:59:43Yes, sir!
00:59:45Mr. Miller, Mr. Smith, it's not what you think.
00:59:47Please, let him go.
00:59:49Darren!
00:59:51Sam, one night apart and you've gotten bolder.
00:59:54Blackwood?
00:59:56How dare you?
00:59:57Who the hell are you to talk like that in front of my dad and Uncle Sam?
01:00:00You're dead!
01:00:00Idiot!
01:00:00Shut your mouth!
01:00:03Dad, why'd you hit me?
01:00:04Get on your knees.
01:00:05Apologize.
01:00:06Go get the briefcase from my car.
01:00:08Apologize?
01:00:09You want me to apologize to him?
01:00:10You're joking.
01:00:12Apologize.
01:00:13Don't make me say it a third time.
01:00:17Thomas Miller pays his respects to Mr. Blackwood.
01:00:1950 million in cash.
01:00:20Please accept it as our sincerest apology.
01:00:23Dad?
01:00:24Smart man.
01:00:25What about you?
01:00:29Sam Smith pays his respects to Mr. Blackwood.
01:00:31Dad?
01:00:32What are you and Uncle Thomas doing?
01:00:34Why are you kneeling to that broke room?
01:00:35Shut up!
01:00:36One more word out of you and you're gone!
01:00:38I...
01:00:40I...
01:00:41Get over here and kneel.
01:00:43Apologize to Mr. Blackwood.
01:00:45No need for apologies.
01:00:47An apology from the great Miss Olivia?
01:00:49Nobody like me can't handle that.
01:00:51Mr. Blackwood, please.
01:00:52My wretched daughter isn't even worthy to be compared to you.
01:00:55She insulted my friend.
01:00:57You know what needs to be done.
01:00:59Effective immediately, she's cast out of the Smith family, left to fend for herself.
01:01:03Dad!
01:01:04What are you saying?
01:01:05Shut up!
01:01:06You have no idea what you've done!
01:01:08You cast out of the family?
01:01:09What if I want her dead?
01:01:12Mr. Blackwood, that's...
01:01:13What?
01:01:14You think this is still too leviant?
01:01:16No.
01:01:16No.
01:01:17Not at all.
01:01:18I understand.
01:01:19You want me dead?
01:01:21Who do you think you are?
01:01:22Dad!
01:01:23Have you lost your mind?
01:01:24How can you listen to this?
01:01:28Take her away.
01:01:29She'll await her punishment.
01:01:31Let go of me!
01:01:32Let go!
01:01:33Dad!
01:01:34Dad!
01:01:35As for him...
01:01:37Mr. Blackwood, he's arrogant and rotten to the core.
01:01:40He can't be spared.
01:01:42I'll cut off his lifeline and cast him out of the family.
01:01:45Decisive.
01:01:46I like that.
01:01:47As it should be.
01:01:48Dad!
01:01:49You can't abandon me.
01:01:50I'll apologize.
01:01:51I'll make amends.
01:01:52How can you...
01:01:53Nothing but trouble!
01:01:54Take him away!
01:01:55Time for the family banquet, shall we?
01:01:57Okay.
01:01:58Farewell, Mr. Blackwood.
01:01:59Darian, why are they so afraid of you?
01:02:02Because I'm Dorian Blackwood.
01:02:05A legend in this world.
01:02:16The rules of this world, time to rewrite them all.
01:02:19The rules of this world, time to rewrite them all.
01:02:19D
01:02:22You
