Once he was sure Qi Yuan was asleep, Noah turned on the bedside lamp and turned off the glaring overhead light.

The room was lit only by a warm orange light, which made the whole room look gentle and cozy.

Noah carefully closed the door.

Sebastian and Kyle were already waiting outside the door.

The two men looked serious, waiting for his next order.

Noah coldly ordered, "Summon all the servants in the house."

"Yes."

Noah arrived at the first-floor living room first, where the servants, who had been ordered to do so, quickly lined up neatly in front of him.

Noah's cold eyes flashed with the sharpness of an eagle as he scanned the group. "Tell me, what were your tasks for today?"

The servants honestly explained their tasks for the day.

After hearing everyone's instructions, Noah raised his hand.

Kyle immediately understood what he meant when he saw Kyle raise his hand, and pulled a gun from his waist and placed it in Kyle's hand.

Seeing Noah holding a gun, the servants panicked, their minds racing through everything that had happened that day, wondering if they had done their jobs well and whether they would get shot for not wiping the dust off the corner of the wall properly.

Although Noah usually seemed easy to talk to and had a better temper than any of the heads of the household they had ever served, they knew that Noah could be cruel when he was ruthless.

Why did you push my little rose down the stairs?

Noah walked up to a gray-haired man, raised the gun in his hand, and pointed it at the man's head.

The servant was a young man with gray hair and cute little freckles on his cheeks; he looked to be only in his early twenties.

He heard Noah's voice right above him, looked up and saw the cold muzzle of a gun, and immediately his legs went weak, and he knelt down with a thud.

"Master, head of the family! What are you doing?"

"Since when did a servant have the right to ask me questions? Do you want your head to explode right now?" Noah's deep, magnetic voice was as cold and ruthless as the cold wind outside.

The man hurriedly explained, "I wouldn't dare! Master, I was only responsible for shoveling snow in the backyard today and never entered the house. How could I have had the opportunity to push Mr. Qi Yuan down the stairs?"

“Most of the maids can only go upstairs to clean the rooms and floors between nine and ten o'clock; the rest of the time they can only move around on the first floor. A-Yuan fell around noon, when all the maids could only move around on the first floor. However, there is a window in the backyard that can be opened to access the stairs to the second floor. When I came back, I looked over there and saw footprints by the window. Those footprints could only be left by you when you were shoveling snow in the backyard, right?”

Upon hearing Noah's words, the freckled boy turned pale and immediately kowtowed, begging for mercy.

"Master, I was wrong! I was wrong! Please spare my life! I didn't know you liked Mr. Qi Yuan so much! If I had known, I would never have touched him!"

"What do you mean by that?" Noah retorted coldly. "You don't touch the things I like, but you do touch the things I don't like? Who do you think you are to dare touch my things?"

"No, no! Patriarch, that's not what I meant! I..."

"Who told you to do this? Tell me, and I might spare your life."

"Yes...it's Mr. Lennon."

Lennon Milne was Noah's greatest admirer, and the Milne family was another prominent family after the Davis family.

Since Lennon publicly expressed his liking for Noah, the Milne family, who have always been good at causing trouble for the Davis family, have become much quieter.

Lennon also stated that Sera Milne, who now heads the Milne family, said that if they become a couple, the Milne family will become the Davis family's biggest supporter, making the Davis family even greater in the North.

Noah never hid his sexual orientation, which was common knowledge throughout the North Continent, although some people still thought Noah was dirty and disgusting for liking the same sex.

However, his power was so great that he could disregard what others thought.

Some children from powerful families are like him, disregarding others' opinions and publicly announcing their sexual orientation because of their power and influence.

Lennon was the first to stand up and say he liked Noah. The Milne family was a very old and rigid family, and Lennon was a damned freak in their eyes.

However, if Lennon can successfully seduce Noah and get close to him, then he will be a freak who brings good luck to the family.

He had no choice but to choose Noah; without Noah, the Milne family's reckoning with him would be terrifying.

As Lennon's sister, Sera spoke privately with Noah several times in order to save her brother's life, hoping that Noah would accept Lennon, even if it was just an act.

Noah had no need to please others, nor did he feel that Lennon's life or death was any of his concern.

After all, he didn't expect Lennon to come forward and admit her sexual orientation or say she liked him. Adults should be held accountable for their words and actions, not forced to use moral blackmail to make others pay the price for them.

Besides, Lennon's looks weren't really to his liking.

If Qi Yuan were Lun Nong, he wouldn't have needed Lun Nong to pursue him for four years; he would have agreed on the very first day. However, after seeing Qi Yuan, the thought of Lun Nong's face made him feel that Lun Nong was incredibly ugly.

Now I'm causing him more trouble, which really proves the saying—ugly people are always up to no good.

"Send him to Larima to catch crabs."

Upon hearing this, the bodyguards immediately came over and dragged the person up.

Upon hearing this, the male servant immediately pleaded, "Master, I will be loyal to you from now on, please spare me!"

The Larimerfei Sea is the most terrifying sea in the North. While the city of Juecheng has at least six months of good weather, the Larimerfei Sea is winter all year round, and the sea surface is often hit by hurricanes and giant waves. Not only is the living environment poor, but losing your life is also a matter of minutes.

No matter how much he pleaded, Noah's decision remained unchanged.

Looking at the remaining servants, Noah said, "Not just anyone can be sent to the Larimerae Sea to catch crabs. Next time someone betrays the Davis family, think about your own head and your family."

"Yes."

The servants answered in unison.

"Go down."

Noah waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave.

The servants dispersed with a sigh of relief.

Noah placed the gun on the table and rubbed his temples wearily.

“It’s that Mr. Lennon again, patriarch. Should we warn him?” Kyle asked.

“It’s been four years. I’ve warned that guy countless times, but he hasn’t changed his ways at all. I’ve only been in charge of the Davis family for three months now, and some people are still on my uncle’s side, waiting for me to step down. If we have a falling out with the Milne family now, my uncle will be the happiest person.”

Noah did not have complete power to do whatever he wanted just because he became the head of the family.

Before he became the head of the Davis family, many company employees were on Ryan's side. If he went to warn Lennon before it was found out that Ryan was responsible for the factory explosion, he might anger Sera, who doted on her younger brother the most.

Sera is the head of Milne and has a terrible temper. If you really cause them trouble, given Sera's temper, the Milne family will definitely retaliate.

Davis had only been the head of the family for three months, and those who still supported Ryan were waiting for him to make a mistake so they could remove him from his position and support Ryan as the new head of the family.

Given Ryan's personality, he would suffer a terrible fate if he were to be dethroned.
