Rise of the Rich and Powerful Jamie Ashford
On the day Jamie lost his mother to cancer, he also lost his only accommodation and his girlfriend. Years of torture, humiliation and servitude from his stepfather and stepbrothers, Jamie was nothing more than a miserable bastard to the Reynolds, one they so desperately needed to do away with. His mother’s death was their perfect opportunity as his stepfather evicted him from his house, abused him and his dead mother publicly, and ordered the doctor to sell her corpse to organ harvesters.
His stepbrothers made a spectacle of him and his dead mother, treating them as though they were worse than animals. And to crown their hall of humiliation, they took his girlfriend and cost him his job. With everything lost, there was nothing to live for anymore. Jamie owed the hospital over $100,000 and his boss over the same amount. His life was at risk, his existence was meaningless, and everything was set against him…
Except for a sudden alert of $10,000,000,000 and a call from the world’s richest and most powerful man, claiming to be his grandfather. Jamie wasn’t a bastard after all; he had a family—a rich and powerful family at that—and he was their rightful heir.
With a net worth of tens of trillions of dollars and the power to shut down the world with the snap of his finger…
What fate awaits all those who did him wrong?
What end has he destined for those who mocked his dead mother and her dignity?
What was in the heart of the trillionaire for those who made his life hell and paraded their measly change over him?
Revenge is best served cold…Or whatever temperature the Rich and Powerful Jamie Ashford wants!

Chapter: Chapter 639 As it turns out, Wally the Strigoi didn't come alone. After his horrific defeat at the hands of General Stella and Tom Yates - the latter finishing the job - the S-Rank dark entity knew that there was a Supreme Lord-level soldier in Los Angeles, hanging around a young man.Wally didn't dare go back into the city of Los Angeles without backup. “Well, you can't blame me now, can you?”Jamie could taste the blood in his mouth from how oppressive this creature's murderous intent was. “What are you talking about, Strigoi?!”Wally showed a rare look of true anger. It was subtle in expressiveness, but it bore the full weight of the resentment this S-Rank dark entity feels at the moment. “Your General, she chased me to the edge of the fucking city. The last time I was here. I couldn't believe it.”“I could tell she's at the five-mega-star level of evolution. Her weapon. What was it again? Ah, right! The flame whip! Did you know the advanced color of her flame is blue? That shit burns much ho

Chapter: Chapter 638 Hearing his name called, the deep voice outside roared outside the building. “Holy shit! You actually remember me! Oh my gosh, I'm genuinely pleased by this! Still, I'm gonna fucking rip your head off your body, and I'm gonna have fun doing it!”Just from his voice alone, Jamie felt that Wally the Strigoi had lost the gracefulness he possessed during the last time they faced one another. He sounded much more barbaric.Jamie avoided another attempt by the large, bloody hand to grab him. He executed his flame spears in both hands, using them to burn right through the gelatinous, bloody hand that kept attempting to grab him.Now, Jamie could have held that hand back, giving himself enough time to find a way out of this entrapment. But then he could see the chaos the fight was causing in the building.There are other patients in the various rooms, and thus destruction would easily end their lives. This sentiment is further driven in as a factor to work on, because Stacy is in this buildi

Chapter: Chapter 637 Jamie began thinking through this. “What's going on? From the report you brought back from AONAB headquarters, S-Rank dark entities do not do the group thing, right? So why are there two S-Rank dark entities working together in the same city?”Tom sughed. “I don't know, but it's worse than that. One of them is at the Second-order while the other is at the first-order.”Jamie shook his head with growing worry. “Something deeper is going on here. Los Angeles is well protected by powerful tech from As-Crows Tech Corps. We have machines that disrupt the connection lines between Oversouls and their incarnations! This should be enough to deter S-Rank dark entities from proceeding forward.”Tom replied. “Honestly, Julius and I have concluded that this was a premeditated attack. For whatever reason, two S-Rank dark entities are now working together to attack one of the most populated cities in America. Something is up. There's more behind this.”Jamie nodded his head. “I'm on my way!”He had

Chapter: Chapter 636 Jamie could only sigh in regret. He knew he shouldn't have opened his kitty without thinking. But he wanted to get them out of this room, because he needed to check on his own wounds.Knowing the kind of condition he would find his own injury in, he couldn't allow Sonia and Billy, who are still very suspicious of him, to see the surface completely healed.Jamie waited for a couple of minutes before he pulled the bandage off his chest. Just as he expected, the wound was completely healed, leaving only the faintest red lines on the area. He made the right choice sending those two out.Otherwise, they would have seen him, and more questions would certainly arise. Jamie summoned the doctor in charge of him, and it turns out to be the woman he had saved from the crazy city council president, Connor Bellow.“It's you. Look, I want you to infirm the other doctors and nurses who my bestfriend and girlfriend have spoken to. From now on, they should refer to my case with a sense of normalcy. I

Chapter: Chapter 635 Sonia slapped a hand over Jamie's mouth, shitting him up. “Don't you dare say that! Nothing will happen to me!”Jamie gave in, appeasing his girlfriend with sweet words. Billy allowed them to have their time before he asked the question that had been on his mind ever since he and Sonia heard Jamie's diagnosis. “Hey, we gotta talk, bro.”Catching on to the tone in Billy’s voice, Jamie stared at him with suspicion in his eyes. “About what?”Billy exchanged a look with Sonia before he spoke. “The doctors found that there were shallow cuts made by the scalpel on your heart. Stacy's stabs had all made it deep into your chest. You should have been suffering from internal injury.”He hesitated before resuming. “But by the time they checked again, they found nothing. Jamie, the wound was completely gone. From their data, they are 100% sure that you healed yourself. You did that at a rate that a normal human being shouldn't be able to do.”Sonia nodded her head after those words. She stared a

Chapter: Chapter 634 Jamie smiled warmly at her before his body collapsed and he passed out as well. Regardless of how powerful Jamie is, he has received multiple stab wounds to the chest. The scalpel that Stacy had used to stab in had actually pierced into his heart. Though the stab didn't tear deep into his heart, it was more than enough for him to die. A regular human would have died by now. Yet, Jamie stood there, attended to Stacy, and discreetly knocked her out before allowing his own body to succumb to the wound.Jamie only woke up after more than twenty four hours of being passed out. He would have woken up sooner if he hadn't been thoroughly depleted of energy. Before returning to the hospital, Jamie had fought Wenlock Jerbel and many other B-Rank dark entities.Then he spent hours fighting off his cousin, one of the patriarch's most precious grandchildren. By the time Jamie returned to the hospital, he was already depleted of energy. The last bit of energy had been used to hold up his stabbed

Chapter: Chapter 557: The Price of LoyaltyThe days following his confrontation with Mark felt like an endless storm to Justin. The stench of betrayal hung over him like a cloud, darker and heavier than any he had ever known. It was not just Mark's actions that wounded him; it was the realization that even those he trusted most were capable of turning against him. His empire, his family, the people he had built everything for, none of them were safe.In the quieter times when Justin wasn't surrounded by the unrelenting demands of his empire, the loneliness of the entire thing settled on him,In the silence of his penthouse, the cold glass walls offer no comfort. He knew this day would come. But it's still painful. The idea that someone he trusted, people who have stood by him for many years, can decide to betray him.It cuts deeper than any opponent that he had ever faced. But he didn't have the leisure to brood over it. The fight with Ethan was far from over, and Mark was just one casualty in this war. The loss of loyalty

Chapter: Chapter 556: ReckoningThe room was silent when Justin re-entered. His expression was cold and disbelieving. There was no need for an explanation to the group still seated around the table for what had happened. The tension hung in the air. Every person in the room knew, it seemed, instinctively that a bomb had just gone off.And the consequences will cause serious damage. Mark sat at the head of the table. His fingers tapped the polished wood nervously. His usual confident demeanor was gone. It was replaced by a feeling of discomfort radiating from him. Justin could see it in the way his eyes avoided his gaze. But there had been more-something darker, something deeper. Silently, Justin walked toward the tabletop; his footsteps rang harsh in the otherwise silent room. Mark's eyes flicked up, catching everything else for the briefest instant before quickly looking down.“Everyone out,” Justin said, his voice harsh, commanding. There was no space for dissent.The team, sensing the heaviness of the moment,

Chapter: Chapter 555: The Enemy WithinJustin sat in his office, staring at the files Mark had delivered earlier. The quiet hum of the city outside his window was a stark contrast to the storm raging inside him. A leak found in his own company—what he thought was kept safe—had just turned into a full-blown leak. People close to him are betraying him. And he didn't know who it was.In his head, Mark's words played on repeat, but it was the stabbing betrayal that hurt the most. He had single-handedly built this company as anything by steel-back-end deals, through a relentless strategy, and with the will to establish iron-clad grounds for its existence. And now, someone within his entire circle began tearing it all apart and selling to the highest bidder. A slap against the face, and Justin wasn't certain how to take it. He instantly picked the phone, dialing Mark's number. It rang once and twice, and right then came Mark's voice.“Justin?”“Where are we with the leak?” Justin’s voice was clipped, every word laced with an

Chapter: Chapter 554: The Forgotten FoeUpon waking, Justin felt gnawing uneasiness. He had won relatively hard and long, but as he walked in the office that morning, something was not right; the air felt heavy, the tension intense and indiscernible. Somehow, Justin couldn't seem to shake an inner feeling that someone was still perhaps watching, waiting for just the right moment to make his move.“Good morning, Mr. Drogonuv,” Mark’s voice broke through the silence as Justin walked into his office. The assistant’s usual upbeat tone was tinged with something more serious. “We need to talk.”Justin raised his eyebrows but waved his hand for Mark to continue. "what happened?" Mark's expression was tense, and Justin immediately felt a sense of urgency in the room.“It’s about the company’s recent movements. "I notice a few discrepancies in our financial reports. At first, I thought it was simply an oversight, but I now doubt it," Justin's heartbeat sped up. “What kind of irregularities?”“A few transactions that don’t add up.

Chapter: Chapter 553: A New HorizonThe dust has settled. But the war was not truly over. Ethan's fall from grace was swift and unyielding. But Justin knows the road ahead isn't without challenges. As the remnants of Ethan's empire collapsed, Justin is forced to face the reality that his tireless victories have come at a terrible cost.The meeting room is quiet. It was the silence that came only after a fight. Board members who were once concerned about Justin's methods, Now they looked at him with a different respect. They understood the stakes, the price paid for survival in this ruthless world.But for Justin, respect is not as important as the weight of his decision. He sat at the head of the table, looking around at the face he was leaning on. Mark stood on the side. His normally confident demeanor was now marked with a delicate caution. Ava sat across from him. Her eyes narrowed as she examined the information in front of her. “Ethan's downfall has left a void in the market,” Justin said in a low but firm tone,

Chapter: Chapter 552: The Final BlowThe days that followed the media explosion were chaotic. Ethan’s empire, once a towering structure of influence and wealth, was now a crumbling shell. He had endured the tumult of the tragedy caused by the scandal of Samuel Dayton, more than anything that Justin had ever expected. It had spread so far and caused investors to back out. But Justin was well aware that it was not yet over. He was indeed cornered, but that did not mean he was out of the game.One evening, Justin sat in his office, the dim light from his desk lamp lighting up long shadows on the wall. His thoughts are sharp and organized. With no room for complacency at this moment. It is time to end it all. Ethan has been a thorn in his flesh for far too long. And Justin knows the only way to truly destroy him is to take away everything that matters to him.As he searched through the documents on the table Mark walked in with a solemn expression. “we have a situation. Ethan is trying to play his last card. Word is that
