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!

Please, stop! Spare me! Help! Somebody, help me!”No one came to help. The police officer cried bloody tears until his head was also submerged into the wall. What the man didn't realize was that none of these were happening in real life. It was all happening in his head.But truly, the man was dying, and the dark entity was doing so through the mind. To be clear, the dark entity is taking over the body completely, and thus achieved by sniffing out the consciousness of the actual owner of the body.In the real world, the police officer was barely hunched over, committing blood all over the wall. Then he slowly stood up, giving off an aura that reeks of blood and death.Unknown to all, the true police officer was dead, and the person using his body

Chapter: Chapter 630 The police officer kept repeating these words as he stared at his barely made reflection in the silvery interior walls of the elevator. “This isn't what you promised.”In the silvery reflection, even the shape of this police officer couldn't be properly distinguished. However, the glowing crimson eyes were a dead giveaway that something was terribly wrong here.The wonky reflection in the silvery wall replied to the police officer. “What do you mean? We had an agreement. You allow me to reside in your body, and I make sure that you're able to rest properly while I take over your body.”The rough reflection in the shiny wall had a terrifyingly wide smile on his face. “Come on, isn't this what you wanted? You said your job was making you out of life.”“You wanted to be able to fuck your wife properly without falling asleep while balls deep inside her pussy. You wanted to spend time with your children, and also the bunch of side chicks you've been cheating on your wife with for more tha

Chapter: Chapter 629 The angry police officer suddenly turned to the nearest colleague, punching him hard across the face. “You bunch of shitty ass cowards!”The others rushed to help the punched police officer off the ground. “Dude, what the hell are you doing?! You just punched your colleague in the face!”The angry police officer chuckled with a look of incredulity. “What the hell is wrong with me?! I should be the one asking you gutless bastards! What the hell is wrong with you fools!”“It's not just you, it's also our superiors! Just because this person is associated with that titan organization and clan, we have to bow our heads before their crimes!”The police officer who was punched glared at the angry colleague. “Crimes?! Don't you think you're being too touchy about this?! Yeah, going past the speed limit is dangerous, but no one got hurt because of him!”“Besides, we've talked about this! We don't know what kind of situation he could have been in for him to go so fast! The car is literally par

Chapter: Chapter 628 The police officer who called the attention of his colleagues to the dents and claw marks immediately clarified something. “No, I need y'all to shut up! It's not just that! Look! The dents are straightening out! And the claw marks are fading away!”That was when the group of police officers saw it as well. “Holy shit! It's gotta be one of those nanotech cars, right?!”“Yeah! It's gotta be a product of As-Crows Tech Corps! Check the logo!”“You're right! It's a product of As-Crows Tech Corps! This really could be an agent of the AS99 Organization.”The angry police officer wasn't afraid. He looked like he was not ready to back down at all. “So fucking what? It could be a Supreme Lord of the AS99 Organization, or the president of fucking America! If they're caught driving past the speed limit! It's my job to enforce the law on them!”The other police officers went quiet They would like to calm this angry police man down, but he was acting within a justifiable reason. If they continue

Chapter: Chapter 627 Sonia hesitated before she replied. “Yeah, I'm fine. But Stacy… her condition. It's getting… bad.”Jamie's eyes narrowed. “I'm on my way.” That was all he needed to say before he ended the call. He sped up his car, giving no shit about the certain speed limit rule on the highway. This definitely led to a group of police officers coming after him.Jamie still didn't stop. Plus, his car was much faster than any of the police cars. This meant that by the time he arrived at his destination, the police cars should be about fifteen to thirty minutes behind him.As soon as Jamie reached the hospital, he quickly called his personal assistant. The second Tom Yates picked up, Jamie could hear a distinct sound of kisses and moaning. “Really, Tom. You're seriously in bed with someone while picking up my call?”The man moaning on the other end of the call chuckled, speaking before Tom himself could utter a word. “What? Are you jealous, Young Master Jamie? I currently have my dick deep in Tom's as

Chapter: Chapter 626 Meredith stood before them, stripping off her nanotech suit to reveal a gorgeous face and a curvy body, accentuated by the crop top and jeans she wore. She looked like a model. “I’ll heal you guys up first. It's not permanent, though. You'll need the medic faction staff members to give you all a proper checkup after.”She released a wave of warm energy, encapsulating all of the low-faction soldiers. The second Ray Fenix felt this wave of energy, he recognized who it belonged to. After all, Meredith was getting rid of the unprocessed energy, which meant that it still carried Jamie's energetic signature.Ray didn't dare utter a word, though.General Naomi Cho stared off into the night sky before walking over to her young madam, standing behind her as she whispered with a calm tone. “With your permission, I can track him down.”Meredith rolled her eyes. “And then what?
