Chapter 36
“Let them investigate as much as they want,” Howard said with a slight frown. “A bunch of people with nothing better to do, engaging in petty actions. That’s all they’re capable of!”
“I agree. They’re just bored out of their minds, always stirring up some trouble to pass their time!” Yoel nodded in agreement.
After chatting for a while, Yoel drove the car into an old community. As they entered, they noticed the word ‘demolish’ painted on the exterior walls of every building. In the open space within the
community, elderly people gathered in groups, discussing something with sighs and worried expressions.
“As Howard and Yoel parked the car at the entrance of Block petite figure ran toward Howard.
“Riley, did you miss me?” Howard bent down, lifting Riley into the air and spinning her around.

“Of course, I missed you so much…” Riley’s teary eyes moistened Howard’s shirt.
“I missed Riley too!” Howard’s eyes welled up with tears.
Standing not far away, Talia watched as the father-daughter duo embraced each other, tears streaming down her face. This scene had appeared countless times in her dreams. She had always hoped Riley would have a strong father figure to rely on, sparing her from being criticized as an illegitimate child. This dream had haunted her for five
years!
“Riley, I bought you lots of toys. Let’s go see them together.” Soon, Howard walked toward the truck, carrying Riley in his arms.
“Really? That’s awesome! I have new toys again.” Riley wiped away her tears, turning them into smiles.
As they reached the back of the truck, Riley saw the ridiculous amount of toys and rubbed her eyes, Then, she looked at Howard and shouted excitedly, “Daddy, are these all mine?”
“Yes!” Howard smiled. “Do you like them?”
“Of course!” Riley danced around, looking at Talia. “Mommy, look! Daddy bought me so many toys!”
At this moment, Yuffie also walked out of and hurried to the back of
the truck.
“Oh my God! Howard, are you a millionaire or something?” Yuffie
blurted out in shock.
Talia heard her words, originally thinking of scolding her a bit, but after some consideration, she gave up on the idea. Then, she walked up, looked at the mountain of toys, and was completely dumbfounded. A father’s love was indeed incredible!
Just then, footsteps echoed, and about ten tattooed men walked
over. Upon seeing the two sisters, their eyes were glistened with
malicious intent.
“You must be the owners of Unit 303, right? We’ve been waiting for you!” The bald leader’s eyes raged as he looked at Talia.
“Daddy, are they bad guys? I’m scared…”
Seeing the appearance of the group, Riley clung tightly to Howard. The events in Nimbulus had left her with psychological trauma. Now, whenever she saw people with unfriendly faces, she trembled.
“Don’t be afraid, Riley. With me around, no one will ever bully you again,” Howard spoke softly and then turned to Yuffie. “Yuffie, take
“Alright!” Yuffie nodded and took Riley from Howard, heading toward the apartment building.
“What do you want?” Howard then looked at the bald man and asked
“We bought your house. Take the property certificate and come with us to complete the formalities.”
“What are you talking about?” Talia, standing beside Howard, frowned slightly.
