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

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!

Ray gazed at the four soldiers in his office. “The four of you were suddenly taken out of this office for a while. Do you have any idea what happened? Where were you taken?”He was hoping to use the testimonies he got from his subordinates to figure out what kind of power Tom Yates possesses. There was just something incredibly gigantic about his presence, and it left Ray deeply curious to know just what he's capable of.The fact that he could use supernatural powers like that was already indicative of the fact that he's above the three-mega-star level of evolution. Ray was even convinced that Tom had to be far stronger than General Stella, whose limit he hadn't even gotten to witness.The four soldiers of the Red Fenix Gang glanced at each other with slight confusion before they started narrating what happened.Apparently, they also saw that, one second they were being briefed by their leader, and in the next second, they found themselves in a totally dark space.

Tom stared at him for what seemed like minutes, but was just mere seconds, before he nodded his head with a smile that actually lit up his face, totally erasing the cold, fearsome demeanor from a second ago, replacing him with a warmer mood.He clapped his hands with a smile. “Good, I'm glad to hear it, because I've got a task for you tonight.”Surely, Tom Yates was like a chameleon of emotions, switching from one extreme end to another within seconds. The scary part is how natural he can come off with such an instantaneous switch in demeanor.Ray Fenix stared up at Tom Yates. “Of course, how may I be of service?”Tom's smile faded and the atmosphere became slightly serious once again. “My young master has visited your nightclub once again. He'll be hanging out in the most expensive section you have here.”“Now, he didn't want to deal with a lot of bullshit, especially after the experience we had during the day, which is why he didn't bring any of his private soldiers with him.

There was already the very strange phenomenon of his men just disappearing from the room, with no trace of their existence. Then there was the vice he heard right behind him.The worst thing for anyone to do is to try and sneak up on a soldier, especially the ones with extraordinary strength, speed, and agility.“Who the fuck are you?!” Ray Fenix has already pulled out a curved dagger in his tight hand as he turned around with incredible speed, ready to slash the face of the person whose voice he had suddenly heard so close behind him.But Ray was left completely shocked when he found that there was nothing but air behind him. “Huh? What the….”Once again, he didn't hear the owner of the voice move away, and yet, there was no one there. How fast could this intruder be? Or is it that he was starting to lose his mind?Ray kept a sharp gaze around. He still couldn't pick up on any trace of aura, or malicious intent. Yet, as he began going round the office, he pulled out another dagger w

Jamie walked closer and whispered in her ear. “Amanda, don't you feel ashamed of yourself. Look around you, the trouble you attempted to stir against my best friend has now bounced back on you full force, and I didn't have to do anything. This is how retribution works, and you've only gotten a small, uncooked taste of it.”“I'll have my revenge on you for sure, but I'm in no rush at all. You, Nathan, Jonathan, Seth, Meghan, Olivia, and Danny. I'm nowhere near done with any of you. In fact, I'm just getting started. Two years as a student of HU, and you guys didn't hesitate to make my life a living hell. So you can only blame yourselves for what will inevitably come, sooner or later.”Jamie moved back slowly with a teasing smile as he turned away to face Manager Harari Dalton, who simply remained in front of the closed elevator that was supposed to take them down to the most luxurious section of the entire nightclub, underground.Jamie smirked at him. “We're ready.

In the face of Stacy making her choice so clear, then no one has the right to tell her how to live her life and who to love.Everyone began laughing at Amanda, making her back away in embarrassment. Meanwhile, the two Sacral Succubi disguised as beautiful women silently blended into the crowd, not wanting to suffer another round of humiliation because of Amanda.These two, Felicia and Dora, glared at Amanda discreetly with heavy disdain.

Amanda sneered at Billy, her voice was heavy with a condescending tone as she spoke to him. “You really think I'd fall for an obvious lie from the mouth of a nerdy fool like you?! I know you're trying to cover up for Stacy's wrongdoing, but do you even think you're worthy to be by her side?”Billy didn't expect that Amanda would suddenly steer the conversation over him. “I'm sorry, what?”Amanda shook her head as the disdainful gaze she gave him was quite heavy. “Oh, are you deaf too now? Fucking piece of shit. I know you're lying, but you're not even worthy of being by someone like Stacy.”Jamie clenched his fist as he glared at Amanda. “Hey, Amanda, if you're looking for someone to run your mouth over, come at me, but leave my buddy out of this.”Amanda chuckled with a mocking tone. “Oh, come on, Jamie. Did I say anything wrong?! Look at your so-called best friend. He's wearing an outfit that I'm sure even his entire family could never afford.”She then turned to Billy, feigning a
