Jonathan looked at Winny with slight surprise. He had not expected her to offer him an investment of twenty billion, especially when the Caresta Family was not asking for any shares or even a portion of the profits. An offer like that was not something one came across every day, even for someone with extraordinary abilities.“Miss Winny, don't you think your offer is a little too generous toward me?” Jonathan leaned back in his chair with a faint smile. “The Caresta Family is willing to provide twenty billion, yet you don't want any shares and have no intention of interfering with the company's management. What exactly do you expect from me?”Winny smiled calmly. She had already anticipated that Jonathan would ask such a question. After all, an intelligent person would not accept such a generous offer without understanding the reasons behind it.“Jonathan, you don't need to be so suspicious. The Caresta Family may be wealthy, but we wouldn't carelessly spend money on someone we don't

Jonathan smiled and shook his head when Winny offered to take him home.“No need, Miss Winny. I can go home by myself. Besides, I don't live too far from here.”However, Winny did not give up immediately. She looked at Jonathan seriously before saying, “Actually, there is something I want to talk to you about.”Jonathan raised an eyebrow slightly.“Then just tell me now. We still have some time before I go home.”Winny fell silent for a moment before glancing around. After making sure that no one was standing too close, she said, “I want to talk about it later tonight. Somewhere private.”As soon as she heard those words, Amelia, who was standing not far from them, immediately fell silent. A look of surprise appeared on her face.“Why does it have to be somewhere private?” she asked instinctively.Winny immediately realized that her words had sounded strange. Her face turned slightly red as she quickly explained, “It's not what you think. I mean, the matter I want to discuss is quite

Inside the banquet hall, the atmosphere gradually became lively again after the incident with the Buana Family came to an end. The guests began enjoying the dishes that had been prepared. Some chatted while raising their glasses, while others still occasionally glanced toward Jonathan. After all, the young man had been the center of attention since the beginning of the party.At that moment, Master Anderson sat not far from Jonathan and began talking with him. Lius, who happened to be nearby, was immediately surprised when he heard their conversation.“Master Anderson, you two know each other?” Lius asked with a look of astonishment.All this time, he had known that Master Anderson was one of his grandfather's close friends. However, he had never expected that the old man also knew Jonathan.Master Anderson chuckled and nodded.“Of course. I met him in Antique City. At first, I thought he was just an ordinary young man who happened to come by to look around. However, after seeing the

Roselin and Yorgi's faces immediately turned pale. Both of them stood stiffly as the gazes of the surrounding guests felt like dozens of needles piercing their skin. The Buana Family was one of the major families in Pegasus City. For years, they had always maintained the family's reputation and dignity. Yet today, in front of so many important figures, they had been humiliated and even thrown out of the Caresta Family's banquet.Yorgi took a deep breath, trying to suppress the anger that was almost exploding in his chest. He then forced a smile and said, “Miss Winny, I think there has been a slight misunderstanding here. You must be joking. I came to this party with good intentions. I only wanted to congratulate Old Master Caresta. As a guest who came all this way, wouldn't it be rather inappropriate to simply throw me out?”Winny looked at him expressionlessly. “I am not joking.”The smile on Yorgi's face immediately froze.Winny continued coldly, “I have already said what I want. Th

Roselin was still standing with her arms folded across her chest. Although her face looked calm, deep down, she was extremely confident in what she had said. In her opinion, even if Jonathan had truly managed to cure Mr. Caresta, it would not change the fact that Jonathan was merely a poor man with no clear background. In her mind, everyone was making too much of it simply because Jonathan had managed to demonstrate some ability. “What exactly are they thinking?” Roselin muttered loudly enough to be heard. “Just because he managed to cure Mr. Caresta, do they really think the Caresta Family will regard him as their savior? He is still a poor man. He has no power, no influential family, and no status whatsoever in Pegasus City.” Her voice was loud enough to make several guests nearby turn their heads. However, Roselin did not notice. She still believed that she was in the right. At that moment, the doors to the hall opened once again. Mr. Caresta entered the banquet hall with Lius

Roselin turned her head, arms folded across her chest, a sneer etched on her face. "That was just a fluke, Grandpa. It was just a coincidence that he managed to please Master Anderson before. But his real ability? Huh, absolutely zero." Yorgi nodded slowly. Roselin's answer didn't entirely convince him, but it was enough to slightly soothe the simmering frustration in his chest. Roselin's eyes landed on Amelia, who was sitting beside Jonathan. The girl was laughing softly, looking comfortable. Jonathan even calmly reached for a napkin and casually wiped the corner of Amelia's mouth; the movement looked so natural and gentle. As if the two were already accustomed to such closeness. For some reason, Roselin immediately felt a surge of heat rise in her chest. Her eyes narrowed. "Since when are they that close?" she muttered angrily. She still didn't understand why a man like Jonathan could make a girl as graceful as Amelia feel so at ease. Her heart couldn't accept it. Even though she

Andrey and Meishin looked at each other awkwardly, then Andrey looked at his grandfather and said, “Grandpa, can we postpone these formalities for now? I feel uncomfortable toward my father-in-law.”Grandpa Han Li nodded and allowed Sengkuni to step back.“Alright, let’s all sit down. Sengkuni, today your status is my grandson’s father-in-law. So let’s discuss my grandson’s wedding banquet.”Sengkuni replied, “Yes, Leader!”Next, the two families began discussing the wedding arrangements and drafting many concepts.After that, during this period, Andrey also redeemed a lot of money for conditioning prescriptions available in the system mall. Although they were expensive, Andrey managed to improve his father’s health two weeks earlier than expected.Afterward, Han Long also received explanations from his father and his son about Andrey’s wedding.He felt happy!Then he joined in planning the upcoming wedding.Han Long felt joyful because after he recovered, he would be able to see his

7 a.m., Beijing International Airport.A middle-aged man wearing sunglasses and beach-style open clothing, accompanied by several bodyguards in black suits, stepped out of a private plane that had flown in from a distant country.Removing his sunglasses, the middle-aged man looked into the distance, where a young man and woman were standing there to welcome him.“Mei-mei, Rey. Why are you here? I remember I never told you I would be coming to this country.”Abdurahman asked with a puzzled expression as he took off his sunglasses.He looked at the two people in front of him with curious eyes.Andrey looked at his father-in-law and immediately hugged him. “Dad, welcome back. I’ve already prepared a business empire for you. Our family will become wealthy with our own business. Besides that, Ying Ying is still waiting for her grandpa to give her candy.”Instead of answering, Andrey gave him a hug and changed the topic.After releasing the hug, Abdurahman became even more confused.“Hey, R

Think about it—his grandfather offered an astronomical salary, increasing it by 100 million yuan in a single breath.All of it was on the basis of employing him as King. And the King was the one who controlled policies.Just imagine: if the organization owed money to the King, wouldn’t the organization have to do its very best to repay that debt?If it were someone else, he definitely wouldn’t worry.But after accepting the salary offer and working as King of this organization, he would also have to think about how the organization could repay its debt to him.What if expenses were greater than income? Wouldn’t that be foolish?Yet this foolish method would bind him to the throne until death.As King, balancing the organization’s cash flow was one of his duties. If the cash flow couldn’t be balanced, then he would have to make up for the deficit elsewhere.In this case, if the organization couldn’t afford to pay him, he might consider dissolving it. But would it be that simple? This w

“Damn! Am I actually trapped in an international terrorist organization?”Andrey muttered in disbelief.Unfortunately, he forgot to lower his voice.So Grandpa Han Li smacked him on the head.Smack!“What do you mean terrorist organization? We are an international information trading organization, okay? In other terms, we are an International Information Guild that issues missions and sells intelligence through the underworld. We are definitely not terrorists who recklessly disrupt international society!”Grandpa Han Li explained based on the ideology he believed in. He planned to brainwash Andrey and prepare his grandson to become the heir to the Kurawa organization’s throne.But on the other hand, Andrey still complained inwardly and did not fully believe his grandfather’s words.For safety’s sake, he still wanted to ask, “Grandpa, does the Kurawa organization possess state-level secrets? And are you capable of threatening the existence of a country?”Grandpa Han Li smiled upon hear

“If it weren’t for the medical knowledge infused into my brain by the system being so complete, I’m afraid I wouldn’t even know how to capture this Gu Worm. Channel Qi energy to the fingertips, then extract the worm from the heart.”At this moment, Andrey’s concentration was completely focused and never wavered.Silently, he dissected his father’s rib cage and saw the beating heart there, with a large worm wrapped around it like a lover.Recalling in his memory the method of extracting the worm, Andrey focused on retrieving it.Strangely, the worm was easily taken out because it felt it had no escape route left inside the body.Although the worm sensed danger, the last place it could inhabit was this heart.As for the rest, it truly had nowhere to hide.This was the advantage of the 99 golden needles locking the body!The Gu Worm was easily removed and placed into a special container filled with nutrient-rich food for Gu Worms. Happily, the Gu Worm dropped inside and began to eat.“Ph

After receiving 1 billion yuan from his grandfather, Han Li,Andrey immediately returned to prepare for his father’s operation.He also told his grandfather that he would live outside with his wife. During that period, Andrey had already ordered the system to convert the money into Qi energy.“System, convert the money in my bank account into Qi energy!”[Ding! Conversion in progress…][Ding!

Yani snorted softly. "You destroyed them, but I'm the one who risked my life. A little compensation isn't a big deal, is it?"Tirta only looked at her for a moment before saying, "Get out quickly. I'll destroy this place."Yani did not argue anymore. She ran toward the exit with the documents and treasures in her hands. Tirta waited until she had left the underground cave before raising his hand."Star Annihilation Formation, activate."Red light burst from the formation he had previously set up. Energy began concentrating at certain points, creating a rumbling sound that caused the surrounding ground to tremble.Boom!The entire underground pavilion collapsed in a massive explosion. Smoke and dust rose into the air, concealing any traces of what had been inside. Tirta stood still for a moment, making sure that nothing remained before turning toward Yani, who was waiting in the distance."Is it over?" Yani asked, although she already knew the answer from the destruction behind them.T

Tirta stood upright, the Blazing Flame Sword in his hand emitting scorching heat. In front of him, the two elite protectors of the Herlambang Family had already prepared themselves, their auras surging like storms about to erupt."Do you think that killing Beto means everything is over?" one of the protectors sneered. "The Herlambang Family will not collapse that easily. You are only speeding up your own death."Tirta smiled coldly. "Enough nonsense. If you want to die, then let's begin."The first protector leaped forward, his sword glowing with green energy that flowed like a storm wind. His attack was swift, attempting to slash Tirta from the right side. However, Tirta dodged with a light movement, like a shadow that was difficult to catch."Your speed is decent," Tirta muttered, swinging the Blazing Flame Sword toward the second protector who was attempting to attack from behind. Red flames shot forward, forcing his opponent to retreat several steps."Fire attack? Do you think tha

The woman smiled faintly. "I will tell you, but only if you promise to protect me. I have no one left, and I know the Herlambang Family will not stop hunting me."Tirta remained silent for a moment, considering her offer. If this woman's information was true, it could be the final blow needed to destroy the remnants of the Herlambang Family. However, he also knew that he could not simply trust her."Alright," Tirta finally said. "But if you try to betray me, I will make sure your death comes faster than you can imagine."Yani nodded seriously. "I understand. Believe me, I only want them destroyed, just as you do."Tirta nodded and lowered his sword. "Now, tell me everything."Yani took a deep breath, trying to calm herself after her sudden encounter with the mysterious man who had destroyed the Herlambang Family. She sat back down beside the campfire, while Tirta stood upright, his eyes continuously watching her every movement."The Herlambang Family has a secret place they call the D

Footsteps could be heard approaching Tirta from outside the cave. He immediately disappeared, hiding himself in the shadows."Who is coming?" He quickly expanded his Dragon Perception, extending it dozens of meters toward the direction he was targeting."Only one person. Strange! I thought the remaining members of the Herlambang Family would send many people to hunt me down."Meanwhile, outside, someone who had arrived at the cave carefully examined the surroundings."This cave looks empty," she murmured.Her voice was soft and gentle. She was dressed in black, with her head covered, concealing her beauty beneath the light of the full moon.She entered the cave, but did not go too deep. She only intended to rest there for a while. However, she faintly sensed a small trail of smoke drifting from deeper inside."It seems there is someone else in there. Should I take a look, or should I just stay here?"She walked forward and found the campfire that Tirta had lit earlier. She tried to se

At that moment, the Blazing Fire Sword was raised, ready to slash at the Patriarch of the Herlambang Family, who was meditating.But suddenly, Rifai Herlambang opened his eyes and smiled."You are quite bold, young man!""Why don't you just stay quiet? At least then I can end your life without causing you any pain," Tirta said confidently."Humph, only a brat like you would dare to speak so arrogantly. Do you really think your abilities have reached such a high level?"Swoosh!Smoke billowed from the spot where he had been sitting, and he disappeared.Tirta's eyes moved rapidly. "I can't sense his presence. He really is an expert.""You are indeed extraordinary. To have reached the Earth Realm Star Rank Five at such a young age is quite impressive. But many geniuses have died at an age like yours. Because of their arrogance, they tried to defeat an elephant while they were still nothing more than ants," Rifai Herlambang's voice echoed, though he remained nowhere to be seen.Ding...[W

Tirta stared toward the center of the city, where the headquarters of the Herlambang Family stood majestically. His eyes were filled with determination. "Beto, wait for me." Tirta took a deep breath as he adjusted the Herlambang Family guard uniform he had taken from one of his previous victims. The black and gold uniform fit his body perfectly, with the emblem of the Herlambang Family engraved on the chest. Although he disliked wearing the identity of his enemy, Tirta knew that this disguise was an important step in infiltrating their headquarters. He leaned against the wall of a small building in one corner of Liuyun City, his eyes observing a group of men who appeared to be patrolling around the headquarters. From their conversation, Tirta concluded that the security inside was tighter than usual. "System," he whispered softly, "show me the map of the Herlambang Family headquarters and its vital points."
