Chapter 226
A brief knock landed on the door at this moment and the door opened, revealing Michael. “Good
morning, grandfather,” Michael said and walked towards them. “Why did you attempt to kill your brother?”
Lord Douglas asked before he could even sit.
“I?” Michael asked with a fake innocent look. “Why would I ever make such an attempt?”
Broderick stood with rage and walked up to him, “Are you trying to deny the fact that you aimed your gun
at me in an attempt to kill me, huh?”
“I don’t understand what you are talking about, sincerely,” Michael said and Broderick threw a heavy blow
to his ‘healing nose.’
Michael had not recovered fully yet from the injury Broderick caused him the day he saw him slap Amy
and now he broke his nose again. Michael winced in pain and staggered back, blood began to stream
down his nose and he felt an excruciating pain.

“Broderick, did you respect me at all? How can you hit your brother before me?” Lord Douglas asked this

made an attempt to shoot you?” Lord Douglas asked. “I have my men investigate.”
“What if your men came up with a false news?” Lord Douglas asked.
Broderick was so sure that Brett can’t give him an unconfirmed news. Who else could have attempted to
kill him if not Michael?
“Grandfather, if not for your presence, I would have dealt with this guy,” Michael boasted. “Please give
him the punishment he deserved for hitting me before you. He doesn’t even have a prove of the
allegations he had against me.”
“The both of you should sit,” Lord Douglas commanded and Michael went to sit while cleaning the blood
on his nose with his handkerchief.
Broderick remained standing and said,” you are not my father, Lord Douglas.”
“What do you mean?” Lord Douglas frowned.
“I meant that you may be a father to my father but not my father. I think I owe my father respect because
he was responsible for my growth in all areas of life but how did I owe you respect? You have never
played any role in my life. I only had to respect you because you are the head of the clan but I tell you, I
alone can fight with all the clan if they try me.” Broderick said,
“You are crossing your boundaries. Your memory loss really affected you, I know but I know many things
about you that nobody else knows,” Lord Douglas said.
“You know nothing about me,” Broderick said and Lord Douglas smirked.
“I know that you are the anonymous and secrete god of the underworld. I doubt if you
remember this about yourself,” Lord Douglas said. Broderick remembered how he was taken to the
underworld and treated with so much respect after he was taken from prison. He didn’t see any of their
faces cause they all covered their faces with mask. But after they had injected him with what could make
him recover his memory, they got him dressed up and assured him that he won’t get arrested again after
which they dropped him before his mansion and drove away. He had always wondered what connection
he had with people of the underworld. Michael was shocked to hear his grandfather say this. Now he
understood the mystery behind the ‘assumed terrorists’ that came to make him escape from prison.
“Michael, I won’t let you go unpunished,” Broderick said and walked out. “Grandfather, is he really the
god of the underworld?” Michael asked after Broderick had left the mansion. The old man slapped
Michael angrily,” you bastard, what else do you want from him? You said you wanted to become the most

and let you have that position and how do you want to pay him back, by killing him? How heartless have
you become, Michael?” Michael held his cheek and swallowed. Lord Douglas has a special favor for
Michael than he does for Broderick. He never really liked Broderick’s father.
“Grandfather, Broderick may have stepped down as the most powerful man in Northhill but he’s still a
threat to me. He’s stopping me from getting what I want to get,” Michael said.
“Broderick is the god of the underworld. Eventhough you are now the most powerful man in NorthHill,
don’t doubt how miserable he can make your life become,” Lord Douglas said and stood angrily, he
added, “don’t ask for my help when he start dealing with you.” He then walked inside angrily. Michael
sighed after he had walked away. Now that he knows the mystery behind Broderick, he will work hard
into stripping Broderick off his position in the underworld too. If he can do that, he should be able to get
rid of Broderick easily.” Michael stood and decided to go to Amy’s place to sympathize with her about the
death of Callan. He knew that Amy would definitely feel bad about Callan’s death.
It was not his plan to kill Callan but things unexpected happen. He walked out of the Alessandro’s
mansion and as soon as he got inside his car, he started the ignition of his car but noticed the the tire
was making a loud noice. He turned off the ignition of the car and stepped down only to realize that the
tire of the car had become flat.
