Chapter 1821

The Livingstons finally welcomed peace after that incident.

After Nollace showed himself in public, the rumors about him getting abducted shattered. The media did
not know what happened to him in Haniston.

King William received Nollace in the White Ivy Palace.

When Nollace walked into King William‘s study room, King William was practicing calligraphy as he was
very much into the kind of art. “Are you the one who did those things to the Livingstons?”

In fact, after what happened to the Livingstons, King William had more or less guessed that Nollace‘s
disappearance in Haniston was probably just a cover.

Nollace walked to the desk and said, “Not really. I just presented an opportunity to Xavi.”

King William raised his head to look at him. “Do you know that you‘re a bag full of surprises?”

He chuckled. “Is that a compliment?”

“Initially, I was worried that you couldn‘t work independently, but it seems like I was wrong.” King William
put the pen down and looked at his own work. “You have indeed impressed me.”

The Livingstons were considered the descendants of the royal family in Haniston. He did not expect to
see the Livingstons change completely after what Nollace did.

Even if he wanted the Goldmanns to take action against the Livingstons, the Livingstons were based in
Haniston, and it would take some time and effort. However, Nollace was able to make the Livingstons
turn and fight against each other easily without anybody‘s help.



If it were in ancient times, it wouldn‘t be far–fetched to say that Nollace had won the war without any
bloodshed or fighting.

Nollace stopped and said, “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a
hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained, you will also suffer a
defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

King William was stunned. “Huh? What are you talking about?”

Nollace answered patiently, “It‘s a book regarding the art of war that I read in the past. It has been
passed down since ancient times. It says that one won‘t have to worry about the outcome of a war if they
know themselves and their enemy well. If they only know themselves well but not their enemy, they might
lose their battle. However, if they don‘t know themselves and their enemy well, they will lose all their
battles.”

King William nodded understandingly and said, “It seems like I need to read that book when I‘m free.”

After that, he picked up the brush and said, “Nollace, I have been practicing calligraphy recently.
Consider this calligraphy as a gift to you for your engagement with the daughter of the Goldmanns.”

Nollace glanced at the words in cursive writing, “May God bless you,” and fell silent.

When Nollace came out of the White Ivy Palace, Edison was waiting for him in front of his car. He
opened the door for him, and Nollace went into the car. He glanced outside, and a pair of couples
appeared in his vision.

He rolled the window halfway down, and the middle–aged man stopped in front of the car with a smile on
his face. “Do you still remember me, Young Mr. Knowles?”

Nollace narrowed his eyes. “Not really.”



Just when the middle–aged man was about to say something, the woman, who was lavishly dressed,
chimed in and said with a grin, “We met at the Reeses‘ banquet last time. You were there with Mr.
Knowles.”

Nollace searched his memory for a moment, and after he got something, he said, “You‘re the relatives of
the Reeses?”

The middle–aged man was overjoyed and said, “It‘s our honor that you still remember us, Young Mr.
Knowles.”

Their conversation did not continue for long as Nollace asked Edison to start the car. Edison glanced at
them through the rear mirror and commented , “These people were afraid of getting into trouble, so they
stayed away from the Reeses when the Reeses fell from their grace, so why are they doing this now?”

Nollace crossed his legs and sat upright. “I guess they want to know Lara‘s whereabouts.”

They had been craving for Jonah‘s legacy after he died. Initially, they thought Ken would inherit the
legacy after he imprisoned Lara.
