A few days later, Robert's body began to show obvious signs of aging and weakness.
Everyone, including himself, thought it was the great shock that had caused him to become so haggard.
But the Mafia had many matters to deal with every day, and since Robert didn't have the energy to cope, he started to delegate his power to Qiao Yiyang.
Qiao Yiyang handled everything very well, and Robert was very satisfied with him, as were many others who came to respect him.
He also covertly nurtured his own power, quickly expanding his influence.
By the time Robert realized something was amiss, he was no longer able to contend with Qiao Yiyang.
By then, not only had Robert's hair turned white, but he had also aged more than a decade.
Qiao Yiyang placed Robert under house arrest and prevented him from contacting others.
Then, he relished watching Robert's body deteriorate day by day, growing increasingly useless and old.
