Chapter: Chapter 98. Queen in Distress“I think you’re mistaken, Miss. I hope you can check through again in case you missed something….”“Are you trying to teach me my job?” The receptionist snapped, shocking Aliya with her abrupt outburst.A mere receptionist was talking to her rudely, and there was nothing she could do. They weren't in the same league, but if she caused a scene with this secretary here, what would the trillion-dollar company think of her?She pressed her lips together for a while, trying to suppress the growing anger within her.“I am not trying to teach you anything, Miss. I only want a chance to meet the chairman,” Aliya managed to muster in a calm tone.“And I am telling you right now that there is no room for you, Miss. Please leave, or I will have security drag you out,” she hissed impatiently and shifted her attention to the system in front of her.Aliya wasn’t sure how to behave afterward. Even from the beginning, this whole thing had worn her out. Pushing through was something she was barely cop

Chapter: Chapter 97. Defeat Before Victory“I can’t believe you agreed to it just like that, Grandfather.” Simon walked into Pa West’s study room later that evening to vent. Even though he had looked calm when everything was concluded earlier, deep down he was pissed.“Don’t be such a fool. Didn’t you realize the stunt that loser was trying to pull? He is trying to delay the vote to take down his wife.” Pa West took a gulp of his liquor while seated on the luxurious leather seat in the room. He relaxed backward and gave a satisfied groan as the liquid went down his throat.“If we had dismissed his suggestion like that, the shareholders might start to think we only want to remove Aliya due to personal reasons. These people don’t give a fuck about sentiments. All they care about is profits. And Allen, that weird pauper, knew that and played his card well.” He placed his hand on his chin, a thoughtful look on his face. “I wonder how he got the idea to bring in the trillion-dollar company into this. He talks about the company like

Chapter: Chapter 96. Let’s Compete“The both of you could compete for who could bag the contract with the trillion-dollar company,” August suggested with a confident look. “I am sure the owners won’t mind if they see that the West Corporation is enthusiastic to work with them.”“Don’t be ridiculous,” Simon chuckled as he tried to wave off the suggestion. “They would think the company is divided if my sister and I submit different proposals to them for the same company.”“And who said you would be the next chairman if it isn’t Aliya? What do you take me for?” Landon immediately cut in as Simon shifted his gaze slowly to meet his enraged brother.“Shut up and stop embarrassing yourself, Landon.” Pa West seemed to be pissed too as a deep frown formed on his face.Landon gritted his teeth as he tried to hold himself from speaking again. But he knew better. His grandfather, who was his only backer, was solidly behind Simon. It felt like all he had been working hard for was a waste. He had been fighting Aliya all this while

Chapter: Chapter 95. Who is worthy?“This is why I keep talking about the importance of marrying people with brains. How could you just suggest something like that?” Landon spoke up, immediately seizing the opportunity to humiliate August again while August maintained his calm and composed look.He stared straight ahead without sparing Landon a look. He knew Landon was dying to see him crumble. Too bad he was done being a punching bag to them. This would be the beginning of their sorrows.“You always end up saying nonsense whenever you open that mouth of yours. What the hell do you know about business, huh?” Pa West asked.“Do you truly care about my sister? Do you actually want her to lose her position deep down?” Simon asked with a cocky grin. As always, he was the only one who made a point.Normally, they were supposed to just agree to it and watch Aliya fail because bagging a deal with a trillion-dollar company is like an ant trying to move a mountain. The West Corporation is a small company and not among the top th

Chapter: Chapter 94. The Challenge Simon noticed how Aliya entwined her fingers together. He could already see how tense she was, and he would definitely use that to his advantage. He was always like this—watching with sharp eyes like an eagle and pouncing on his prey when they let their guard slightly down.“Are you tense, sister? If you’re uncomfortable about the whole arrangement and would prefer not to go through with it, you can just step down willingly. Everyone would understand that you’ve grown wary over the years and would like to focus on your family now,” Simon said with a cool gaze, making a face as if he was truly looking out for her.“Don’t be ridiculous, brother. Just because I am a married woman doesn’t make my career hopeless. Forget about stepping down—I dare you to say you are capable of handling West Corporation half as well as I have,” Aliya said in a cocky tone, causing Simon to clench his fist, which was placed on the table.It wasn’t always easy to get her brother to lose his composure, but when

Chapter: Chapter 93. The Bigger Authority “Did the beating affect your head? What the hell are you saying?” Aliya laughed, not taking his words seriously. He didn’t blame her. He is a pauper with nothing to his name. How could he possibly help her?“You will see how I will make everything easy for you.” August sat up, brushed away the hair covering her face, and placed a peck on her forehead. Aliya watched him, unsure how to react.She pressed her lips and watched him in silence as he lay back. “Could you get me an apple, please?” he asked politely.Aliya, who was deep in thought, shook her head as she came back to reality. She flashed him a smile and nodded. “Sure,” she said and started to walk out of the room.“Babe,” he called when she grabbed the doorknob and was about to open the door. “Make sure to take your time,” he said with a calm smile.Aliya gave him a half-suspicious look before nodding.Immediately after she left, August located his phone by the bed stand and dialed Lila.“That was quick,” she commented the mome

The Monarch Crown System
“Elias Rowan.”
“You have been chosen as the successor of the Monarch Crown.”
“The Crown binds wealth, influence, and hidden authority across nations to its bearer.”
“Those tied to the Crown yield to your command.”
“For every ten billion dollars you spend, the Crown ascends unlocking new tiers of sovereignty, protection, and reach.”

Chapter: 53. The Spoilt Heir Wants a BiteThe man walked confidently into the unfinished building, not surprised by the bodies sprawled across the floor. He entered, took a quick glance at Elias, before moving to the window. This was Lucien Virel. The son of one of the top three ruling families of the city. His Family don't just influence business or politics, they decide those who play the game as well. Lucien’s parents sat at the very peak of that hierarchy. Again, his gaze moved across the scene, from the fallen men, to Corvin frozen on the floor, with Elias’s dagger at his throat. Then he glanced at the entrance. As if on cue, two figures walked in quietly, their footsteps so light they barely registered against the concrete floor. They were dressed in fitted black, head to toe. They wore masks that covered their faces. The Twins of Death. They were holding Chinese hand fans, folded neatly. At first glance, the fans looked ceremonial, almost elegant. But anyone who knew better understood the lie in that appearance.

Chapter: 52. A New BidderCorvin didn’t stop there. The more Elias listened without reacting, the more he seemed to enjoy himself. He spread his arms slightly and started bragging. “You know,” he said, his voice carrying easily through the building. “I don’t just deal in power, i deal in people too.” Elias’s eyes sharpened. “I move humans the way others move weapons,” Corvin continued. “As in Human trafficking. You know what that means right?” He chuckled and winked.Elias said nothing. Corvin leaned closer and lowered his voice. “And you’re the finest gift I’ve seen in years. A Monarch Crown Bearer with no leash.” He shook his head slowly. “Do you know how much someone like you is worth? Alive or dead?” The wounded man beside him remained still. “When I kill,” Corvin went on, almost proudly, “I don’t rush it. I take my time. I cut people into pieces. Bit by bit. That’s my signature. I do whatever i do to make a statement.” He smiled thinly. “But out of respect for the Crown, I’ll be generous.” He strai

Chapter: 51. The $20B BountyIn the dead of the night, Elias stood inside the skeleton of an unfinished building on the edge of Greenville city, with his hands in his pockets. After standing for almost an hour, deliberate footsteps echoed from the far end of the structure, and a man wearing a long coat emerged from the darkness. “Punctual,” the man said lightly. “I like that.” Elias turned his head just enough to acknowledge him. “You’re the one who sent the message.” The man smiled. “Name’s Corvin Baines.” Corvin took a few steps closer, “I figured if anyone would come alone, it’d be you.” Elias didn’t reply. Suddenly, Elias sensed a deadly attack from where he was stood,, and he moved before the attack even existed. At that instant, a blade aimed straight for his spine flashed out of the darkness behind him, but it cut nothing but air. Elias twisted aside in one smooth motion and the dagger passed so close that he felt the wind of it. He pivoted, his elbow striking backward, forcing the attacker to stum

Chapter: 50. He is No NewbieFrom where Elias stood, it became obvious to him that this was no longer something he could watch because the man wasn’t just aiming to overpower Vanessa, he was forcing her backward toward a corner where she'd be stuck, with the aim of finishing her off. Elias’s eyes widened the moment he saw what the man was planning. He saw the sudden shift in the his stance, and a subtle twist of the wrist. Immediately, he read his intent, and he realized his plan was to strike Vanessa in a place where she'd be unable to move again. As if on cue, he angled his blade toward a vital point on Vanessa’s body, where no protective gear could reach.. Meanwhile, Vanessa was still sparring. By the time she realized the movement, it was too late enough to react. Suddenly, Elias moved swiftly from where he was standing at the edge of the hall, in the span of seconds, he crossed the distance that should’ve taken far longer because of the system. And before the man could complete the strike, Elias was the

Chapter: 49. The Sword Club“The stronger you become,” she continued, oblivious of the silence her words had caused for me. “the more attention you draw. Power doesn’t scare people into obedience, it makes them curious. And curiosity is dangerous.” She leaned forward. “You’ve already crossed lines. You killed Alphonsus. You dismantled Gerard, someone who held influence across finance, politics, and the old families. People are noticing.” Elias’s expression remained calm, but his eyes sharpened. “They won’t see you as a monarch trying to restore balance,” Vanessa went on. “They’ll see you as a threat to the order they’ve grown comfortable exploiting. And the moment they realize they can’t control you… they’ll try to confront you.” She smiled faintly, “Not because they think they can win. But because powerful people hate unanswered questions. And right now, you are the biggest one in the city.” Elias listened to everything Vanessa said, then gave a small shrug, “It’s fine,” he said calmly. “Let them come. If

Chapter: 48. History Of The MonarchsThe tension in the boardroom hadn’t even settled before the doors opened again, with uniformed city officers storming in, their attention fixed on Gerard Vale. For a brief moment, Gerard didn’t react. He just smiled, like this was just another interruption he could brush aside with a single phone call. But then, the lead officer stepped forward and spoke. “Gerard Vale,” he said clearly. “You are being charged with bribery, illegal asset transfers, falsifying shareholder documents, and money laundering through multiple shell companies.” His smile faltered. The officer glanced down at the file in his hands and continued reading listing dates, amounts, and company names Gerard had insisted didn’t exist. As the officer finished reading, all faces in the room drained of color, especially those who had directly conspired alongside him. Someone whispered, “This can’t be real…” Gerard tried to protest, insisting it was a setup and an abuse of power, but no one listened. Instead, they d
