Meanwhile, on the eighteenth floor in Odessa’s former office, Elias lowered himself slowly into the leather chair, his fingers glided across the polished surface of the large mahogany table, a satisfied smile spreading across his face.“Finally, this is all mine.”At that moment, a soft knock sounded on the door.“Come in.”Assistant Lily stepped inside carrying a stack of documents. “Manager Elias, these are the files requiring your approval this afternoon.”Elias barely looked at the files, his eyes fixed solely on Lily as he licked his lower lip in a provocative gesture.“How come I haven’t noticed how beautiful you look?”Lily looked thrown. Her brows shot up instantly in confusion, thinking she had heard wrong, she said, “Sir?”Elias slowly stood up and walked around the desk towards her. Lily instinctively took half a step backwards.“Why are you so nervous?” Elias said with a small smile. “We have worked in the same company for years.”“I’m not nervous, sir,” Lily responded.“N

The conference doors closed softly behind Odessa. The three project folders rested heavily in her arms, their combined weight forcing her to adjust her grip as she walked down the corridor.Employees who had been passing by gradually slowed in their steps as she walked past them.“… isn’t that Ms. Chen?”“I heard Manager Elias called the HR department.”“What for?”“They are transferring her to a lower level.”“I thought she was supposed to become the new manager?”Odessa heard their whispers but didn’t flatter in her steps, her face void of emotions. Sympathetic gazes followed her every step, but no one dared to approach her.Everyone in Chen group already knew what had occurred in the conference room. Power had changed hands and the person sitting at the top of it was now Elias Chen.Odessa kept her expression calm, her chin slightly raised. She refused to wear the look of humiliation they had wanted. The elevator doors slid open with a soft chime. Just as she stepped inside, hurri

For a few seconds after the two were left alone, no one spoke. Elias slowly walked toward the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the bustling city below. Slipping his hands into his pocket, he gave a satisfied chuckle. “So this is what it feels like?” Odessa continued arranging the documents in front of her without looking up. “What does?” He turned around with a gleeful expression that held mockery. “Power.” His gaze swept across the conference room as he spoke, the mockery on his face fading into something darker. “I wonder why Grandpa always insisted on grooming you instead of me,” he laughed slightly. “Now I understand.” He walked towards the conference table, stopping directly in front of Odessa. “It isn’t because you are so capable. It’s because he never had the chance to see me take everything from you, always looking down on us all. Well, things are changing now.” Odessa finally looked up, a blank expression on her face as they locked gazes. “If th

Director Han’s expression didn’t falter despite the gravity of Old Lady Chen’s words. “I’m questioning the decision, Chairwoman and not your authority.” Aurelius slammed his palm against the conference table. “Director Han!” He barked. “Mind your words. You have worked under this company for decades, yet you dare oppose the Chairwoman over an outsider?” Director Han raised a brow at Aurelius’s words. “Outsider?” He repeated, his gaze shifted towards Odessa. “Ms. Odessa is the granddaughter personally groomed by the late Chairman. Every major project completed in the last three years bears her signature!” He looked back at Elias with a neutral expression. “On the other hand, Young Master Elias has never independently managed a single project from beginning to completion.” Several departmental heads instinctively lowered their heads. No one dared to agree aloud, but everyone knew Director Han wasn’t lying. Elias’ smile gradually disappeared, his face twisting into a f

The events at the Zhao’s banquet had spread across Kairen City like wildfire. The rumors about Riven being the mysterious Wei heir were being speculated. However, Old Lady Chen had ordered every member of the family to be silent about what had happened during the banquet because despite the revelation about Riven being the Wei’s heir, some considered them shameless for trying to hook up their daughters with rich heirs. In a dimly lit study, an elderly man stood in front of the window, staring at the faint city lights with cold, expressionless eyes. He stared at the report in his hand and drank a little from the glass containing scotch in the other. “So… the young master is alive?” A shuffling sound echoed lightly from behind him. “There are rumors that he is. We do not know for such yet,” replied a husky voice. “I see,” the man said with a brief nod. “Investigate into this matter. We can’t have him around much longer.” “Yes master.” The door to the study closed so

“Master Wei, please have mercy on us. We were wrong!” The two brothers cried in unison. “Master Wei, do you want us to let them go?” Dai asked with a respectful tone in his voice. Riven went silent for a beat before looking down at the two men kneeling in front of him. “Kyle Yang, you claim to be a martial arts practitioner but you do not follow the rules and laws guiding martial arts. You use your position to control, manipulate and oppress others for that reason, break your fingers.” Kyle’s face went as white as a sheet. His whole body went cold as he slowly looked up at Riven. Riven wasn’t joking at all! “Ma… master Wei..” “What?” Riven asked with a raised brow. “Can’t do it? But you were clamouring for me to break mine. What’s wrong?” Kyle pursed his lips exchanging glances with his brother. His body suddenly felt hot as he stared at his fingers and swallowed hard, cold sweat breaking out on his skin. Dai seem to step forward and Kyle suddenly said. “I will do

Everyone stared at Leonard with horror, their eyes had seen the unspeakable. Everyone was stunned to pieces. The box laid empty at his feet, its glow extinguished. But it’s power had not vanished for it burned in him. No one dared to move not even Natasha. Leonard lifted his sword slowly, the edge glistening with Riven’s blood. He raised it high, then let it fall at his side “Riven is gone,” he said, his voice layered with something older, heavier. “And with him, every chain that held us back.” Natasha’s lips trembled, but she forced a cold smile. “That power you think you have now it won’t last. The Lotus will not bow to you.” Leonard stepped toward her. The ground cracked under his boots. She flinched back. “You already have.” His fiery eyes pinned her in place. “If you think otherwise, test me.” She swallowed hard, fury burning behind her fear, but she said nothing. Her men, what little was left of them, lowered their weapons. Claire shifted uneasily. “Leonard… you d

“You own nothing, Riven and everything that happened to us was caused by you and only you!” Leonard responded.“You don’t know anything, Leonard,” Riven sighed deeply, shaking his head as if to show pity. “The dark dragon rules only keep us caged. We don’t do things our own way. We are the most powerful, secretive group to ever exist on earth and we can’t use that power for our own?”He slowly turned to stare intensely at Leonard. “I can make a change. We can make that change. Come with me, lets rule the world together.”“You’re sick!” Leonard spat out. “You want to enslave everybody for your own selfish reasons and I won’t let you do that.”Saying that, he drew out his sword. Riven gave out a sick smile and slashed Leonard’s sword with his. The impact almost made Leonard give way.Rigen smirked. “Do not forget that I was one of the elders. Our skills are not on par.”“We shall see about that.”Riven struck first fast, precise, his blade a blur. Leonard blocked, the clash ringing in t

“You have always been a confident dog!” Riven’s voice echoed. Leonard looked up, Riven stood on the rooftop of the building, several men dressed in black with masks covering their faces, stared down at them all, their hands on their swords.“But you are just a man and your confidence will die with you here.”Leonard smiled slightly. “Don’t boast so early yet, Riven. You have no idea what can happen in the next few seconds or minutes. The tables could turn in anyone’s favor.”Riven chuckled softly and glanced at Malik who was battered and covered in his own blood. “Tsk tsk,” he clicked his tongue over his teeth. “Such a pity, Malik. You have been reduced to nothing and I don’t know what to do with you at this moment.”Malik raised a brow. What does Riven mean by this? Was he going to get rid of him? But, he was the one who told me to give up myself to Leonard. As these many thoughts rang through his mind, he broke out in cold sweat. It seems like his life lies in his hands at this poi

Leonard stared at the place that had countless memories for him. This was the place he had learnt how to become a man. As he stood in front of the monastery gates, he felt a surge of emotions which he quickly controlled.The crunch of tires against the gravel cut into the silence. Black sedans rolled into view, headlights off. Natasha stepped out of the first car, dressed in her usual black outfit, the strong wind slicking her hair to her face, her smile cold as she and Leonard locked eyes.Behind her, Claire and Nathan emerged, their men fanning out with precision.Not long after, the Hades convoy arrived. Marcus alighted from the van, heavily armed alongside his men. His father’s orders echoed in his mind, Harry wanted the Hades to stand tall again and Marcus needed to prove himself. And then unexpectedly came another convoy. From it descended the Davisons. Williams and his men, his expression sour. Everyone knew why he was there. Leonard held his son captive and he hoped that by s

“Let her go.”“Not yet. I’m not done with you, once I am, maybe I will finally let her leave until then, she stays here.”Maxwell narrows his eyes at him.“You know we all thought you were dead, especially when your family was attacked. And then suddenly, you appear again just ruining my plans over and over again,” Gilbert’s smile vanished instantly. “You should have listened to your father begging that I let your sisters stay alive but what was the use? They might decide to gang up against me but I think I made a mistake.”Gilbert smirked on seeing Maxwell’s hardened expression as he clenched his fists. “I should have sold them to merchants or kept them for my own entertainment. After all, what are pretty women good for? Entertainment yet and ownership that is why you have one. We are more alike than I think.”“I am nothing like you,” Maxwell said.“That’s what you think,” Gilbert said with a tilt of his head. “My father thought the same about your father and gave everything to him

Arabella noticed the changes in the atmosphere and for the first time since her kidnap, a surge of hope reignites in her heart. She didn’t know long she had been tied up here but she knew someone was coming for her. Gilbert sensed the shift in her expression and gave a knowing smile, he gave the tablet back to the men and said, “You can feel it as well. Maxwell was always going to come for you because that’s the kind of man he truly is. But don’t worry, my men here are still capable of holding down a commander.” He waved at the man to leave. “We just have to see just how prepared he really is. You were never the target dear, just the bait to bring your husband to me and now, my plans are slowly coming together.” Arabella stared at him blankly despite the turmoil going on in her head. Deep down, she still felt a surge of guilt down there. ‘How I wish I had listened to Maxwell,’ she thought. At that point, another guard rushes in. This time, his face was covered with panic, each s

Arabella frowned slightly. For some reason, the smile on Gilbert’s face seemed unsettling more than the situation she was currently in. The man before her didn’t behave like a criminal, he behaved like his actions were already justified.Gilbert chuckled softly as he noticed her silence. “You’re analysing me, I guess. I can see it all over you.”His fingers tapped lightly against the whiskey glass.“Maxwell choose well.”Arabella’s jaw tightened. “What exactly do you want from him?”“Everything dear,” he smirked. “But don’t worry, I won’t harm him but that will depend on if he doesn’t prove to be stubborn like his father was…” “You know, I have watched you both for the longest time and I can say you really don’t know your husband or what he has been hiding away from you. Were you that daft not to notice subtle changes?” He asked with raised brow.Arabella’s lips pursed as she thought about his questions. Truly, she didn’t know much about her husband. Time had slowly begun to reveal t

“Sienna is gone,” Theodore said, descending down the stairs. His eyes widened at the little crowd in the living room.Men and women dressed up in military uniforms surrounding Maxwell who had a chilling, cold look on his face, as he stared directly at Theodore.“And… Arabella as well,” he added.“I’m aware,” Maxwell responded simply. “Go to work, Theodore.”“Why? My whole family is missing and you want me to go to work? I seem to the only one missing out on all the details right now. Can someone just tell me what’s going on?!”“Don’t speak to the commander in that manner!” Hardin said in a menacing tone.“Hardin,” Maxwell called out and the man backed away. Maxwell looked up at Theodore and said calmly, “Your wife decided to rope herself in with my enemies and took my wife down with her and I’m going to get her back but whatever happens, leave it to me to handle.”Theodore’s jaw twitched as he sighed. He knew how his wife could be but he didn’t know how Maxwell would handle this situa

“Where is my mother?” Arabella asked.The man straightened up and snapped his fingers. Sienna and Mike entered into the room with another man behind them.“As you can see they are hale and healthy,” The man said with a cold smile.Arabella’s face brightened up a bit with relief on seeing them. “Mom, Mike…”Sienna glanced at her briefly and then at him. “You said you wouldn’t hurt her then why is she tied up? And besides, where’s the car you promised? I have brought her here haven’t I?”Arabella’s brows furrowed instantly. Brought her here?“Mom, what are you talking about?”Sienna plastered a smile and then slowly looked back at her. “Bella dear, please don’t be angry at mom. I had to choose between you and Mike and looking at you, you have enough money to bail yourself out of anything but Mike is alone and only has me. So I had to make this choice but trust me, it was too hard to choose between my children but I had no other alternative.”Arabella’s eyes widened in realization. Her

Arabella covered her mouth instantly as her blood ran cold. Her eyes filled with fear as she stared at the masked man, a deadly aura emanating from him. “Step down from the car, miss,” the man ordered. His cold voice sent a chill down her spine, and she found herself nodding as she opened the car door and slowly walked out of it. Surrounding her car were several men dressed in black, masked as well, each holding guns pointed at her. Her lips trembled as she stared at the sight. A soft whimper came from beside her. The masked man from earlier was holding her mother at gunpoint. “Arabella, please just do as they say!” Sienna cried, her body shaking with terror. “Pleas… please, let my mother go,” Arabella pleaded, her voice cracking. “Is it money you want? My credit card—” “We don’t need your money,” another said. “Just get into the car.” He pointed at the car in front of them. Arabella nodded as she heard one of them cock his gun. She swallowed hard as she walked towards the ca
