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!

Before arriving at Clandestine Fashion store, Jamie sat in his car with Stacy and Billy as he came clean about his business with St. Mary's General Hospital, and why those two doctors were deeply thanking him.Needless to say, both Stacy and Billy were too stunned to speak for a while.“H…Holy mother of….you're the mysterious young chairman who purchased St. Mary's, becoming the sole owner but still chose to make it accessible to the public, while expanding it into a mega-hospital?!”Stacy shook her head at Billy's words. “Jamie, I was about to ask where you got the money from but I think I already have an idea.”The Ashford subordinate, Ethan Lincoln. In order to keep the deeper truths from being exposed, Jamie had accepted the fake narrative that he's been academically adopted by Ethan Lincoln, warning him of the riches he possesses now.Now, Stacy is assuming that Jamie couldn't possibly afford this hospital, and then still have the funds to transform it into a mega-hospital all b

It was a horrible experience for Juan Manuel, especially since separating him from the basilisk successfully was a process that caused more pain than he thought he could handle.In truth, the pain could have been avoided, but these soldiers from The Bridge Crow have been informed by their General, through their lieutenant, about the way he had disrespected their young masterIf there's one thing that The Bridge Crow don't play about, it's their young master. Therefore, ensuring that Dr. Juan Manuel's suffering during the process of disentanglement between him and the basilisk, through immense pain, was an extremely personal choice made by these soldiers on behalf of their young master.“Aaaaarrgh! Fuck, it hurts! Can't I get a heavy dose of anesthetics or what?!”The soldiers simply ignored Juan Manuel's plea as they proceeded to use the cruelest extraction method on him. They knew very well that Juan Manuel would not oppose this, as enduring this pain was far better than having to d

They've come across dark entities like this in the past, or seen many clips of the Basilisk and the host they are feeding off of. In the end, this scene was how it ended.Juan Manuel was starting to foam at the mouth as the Basilisk within him was causing him a lot of immense pain, making the blood vessels in his brain to actually burst one by one.[Traitor! We've only met a tiny hurdle! We can escape it as long as we use our heads! But you?! You chose to betray me! If I'm gonna be captured and killed by these troublemakers, then I'm definitely taking you down with me. And if there's hell for entities like myself, I will continue to haunt and torture your traitorous ass for eternity!] Juan Manuel was desperate at this point. He wasn't just hearing the taunting and scarily threatening words of the Basilisk in his head, he could feel the physical agony manifested from the images of torture tha

Billy Carson, Jamie's best friend, could now walk properly once again. However, the doctor and Stacy both looked worn out, done with the entire chaotic ordeal this guy had put them through before they could even get his cast off completely.Stacy shook her head, glaring at the young man. “I'm never following you to a doctor's appointment ever again. Let someone else deal with your….tantrums next time.”Billy had a smug expression as he swaggered as they walked towards the elevator. “Huh? What are you talking about, Stace? I totally handed it like a fucking champ! I think it was that doctor who was overreacting.”Stacy rolled her eyes before a teasing smirk spread across her face as she whipped out her phone. “Oh, yeah? Then do you dare watch the footage I was able to obtain? This way, we can let the facts speak for themselves. Let's see if you were truly calm or….”Billy didn't even take time to think about it before an expression of fear and embarrassment filled his face. “Wait, wha

Back at St. Mary's General Hospital, the four medical practitioners woke up one after the other, complaining of a slight headache. Unknown to them, it was a sign of coming out of the effect of the poisonous green mist from the Basilisk.As for how these four people had passed out, Jamie knew that he needed to properly provide an explanation to them. Yet, he couldn't just unveil that Dr. Juan Manuel was actually cooperating with a dark entity, could he?Therefore, Jamie simply gave the dullest excuse he could come up with, just to shut them up: Dr. Juan Manuel has carried gas bombs with him the entire time. As soon as he got the chance, he made his move and ran away by jumping out through the window.After that, they returned to the main office of the chief director to convey what had become of Dr. Juan Manuel and why he was not with them. It's safe to say that these chiefs of the various departments in this mega-hospital were left stunned by this revelation.In the end, Jacob Nectus

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
