Title: Duke’s Affair [Extra: Dean’s Chapter – The Curse of Encounter]
I am the current head of the Fu Ken family, the supreme president of our family enterprise, the Imperial Group, by day. By night, I am the current leader of the ‘Gate of Fire.’ The ‘Gate of Fire’ has existed since the Fu Ken family began to thrive, tracing back at least two hundred years… It has always been the royalist faction of the Fu Ken family. From the moment I was born, my fate was sealed; as the eldest legitimate son of the family, I was destined to stand at the pinnacle of the family conglomerate. The family bestowed upon me supreme honor and rights, but it also predetermined my life; certain things had to be done step by step – I control the family business and the global economy, while the family controls certain phases of my life, including marriage… whether I like it or not… This proves the saying: everything in life is two-sided, gain comes with loss! I am 26 years old this year, and for nearly 26 years, every step of my life has been planned by my family. From the time I could understand things, I’ve been endlessly learning various subjects: management, finance, military strategy, politics, martial arts, and firearms… Given my cold personality, I wouldn’t be easily manipulated, but what controls my life is not just people; it’s the ingrained sense of responsibility instilled in me since childhood… Yes, I have responsibilities to my family… It’s my destiny to bear!
