Chapter 601

Soon after, Simon revealed a look of ridicule while Eber looked genuinely anxious.

Nicole sat across them and watched their expressions.

Then, she smiled icily.

Just as Eber was about to speak, Elijah met his gaze.He gently shook his head as a sign for Eber to
not worry.

Eber froze before forcefully suppressing his anxiousness.

Meanwhile, Simon pretended to look nervous.

However, he did not have intentions of saying a thing.

Seeing that neither of them had any intentions of objecting to his requests, Jared chuckled before
taking the item from Janus's hands.It was a paper document.

Then, both parties signed the agreement simultaneously.

Janus stared at the second clause that stated that Jared would stay next to Nicole's room; he felt like
he was about to go blind.

Regardless, he handed the agreement to Elijah with a straight face.

Jared propped his elbows up as he watched him sign the papers.

Then, he got up and followed Nicole upstairs.Jared barely slept last night, so Nicole dragged him by the
arm upstairs.



Janus only managed to catch a glimpse of Jared's wide smile before the couple disappeared by the
staircase.

Janus smiled slightly.

Then, he turned to Elijah and said coolly, "Send someone to clean up the room.Also, please get
someone to show me the Mobile Armor.I need to make a detailed report of the data."

Elijah nodded and shot Carl a look.

When he saw Carl staring at the staircase in a daze, he coughed lightly.

"Carl, lead our guest to the Mobile Armor cabin."

Only then did Carl regain his composure.He looked at Janus with a blank expression.

"After you."

Elijah watched as the two departed.

However, he did not let those present leave.He scanned the crowd and said calmly, "Everyone heard
what the man said just now?"

Everyone in the Turmann family—including the distant relatives— nodded gently.

Elijah gently rubbed the corner of his forehead.

Even though his voice was not loud, it was inexplicably authoritative.

"I want all of you to work hard toward that goal for the latest Mobile Armor competition.I will consider
changing the heir if any of you can meet the requirements.Other than that, I will also consider taking
collateral descendants into the main family."



Everyone was stunned to hear his words.

‘What does he mean?’ they wondered.

Elijah watched as the crowd before him revealed looks of greed and desire.

Simon, in particular, had a look of immense greed; he looked as if he wanted to swallow Elijah whole.

Elijah smiled meaningfully and continued speaking.

"Everyone will be competing fairly, so no cheating is allowed."

‘They won't strive to move forward if I don't give them a push" Elijah thought.

He slowly got up and went upstairs with a fierce look.

‘It's time to get rid of the bad apples in the family, ' Elijah thought again.

Meanwhile, Nicole had brought Jared to her room because his room was not ready.She shut the door
on her way in and said casually, "Stay here and rest."

Jared watched Nicole turn around to leave.Then, he raised an eyebrow and asked playfully, "Aren't you
going to give me an explanation?"

‘Why did she come here? And why is she a respectable guest of the Turmann family?" Jared thought.

‘Grandfather said that Nicole and Sebastian know each other" Jared thought again with narrowed
eyes.He looked at her tenderly yet threateningly.

Nicole looked at him and sighed.



"Back then, I got hurt and stayed over at Carl's house for a while.I found this place interesting at the
time, so I drew them a few blueprints."
