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 529 Tyson clenched his fist. “I recall the report you delivered of that battle. That General with the flame whip was fully veiled within the standard nanotech armor for her level. You couldn't get to see her face.”Similarly, Stella had her face covered by that faze cap that she had during the meeting for the final stage of the hostile takeover. Thus, there was nearly nothing to hold onto as evidence.Jenna Harlow cheered up. “The positive note on this is that I was in my true form when I had fought that General, so there's no way she could have recognized me at that meeting, if she was truly there, that is.”What Jenna didn't know was that Stella had in fact noticed her, and was now paying close attention to her.Tyson sighed, rubbing a hand on his throbbing temple, eyes shut with anger bubbling through him. “None of these matters right now. I was humiliated, and I know Jamie had a major hand in how it unfolded. I need to make him pay.”Jenna Harlow tilted her head. “And what about the

Chapter: Chapter 528 Jenna Harlow stared at Tyson with a slight smile on his face. “I do believe I am a woman of your assumptions. They might as well be factual, because otherwise, it doesn't make sense.”She then turned to one of the closed windows, staring into the space of nothingness there for a while more. “There's actually something else. The woman who protected the Carson couple at that meeting, she came across as familiar.”Tyson was still slightly dismissive of what he was listening to. “Mmm, familiar how?”Jenna seemed to be thinking her words over before she let them out. “Not human. She's an agent of the AS99 Organization. She's an evolved human being. I can tell she's a very powerful one, but she hides it quite well.”Tyson squinted his eyes at his manager. “An AS99 agent. I thought……what else did you notice?”Jenna replied as expected of her. “She possessed the same aura as someone I had fought in the past. Back when I had rushed over without you and the family's permission, to go save my

Chapter: Chapter 527 Calls had been flooding the various phones in Tyson's possession. It had gotten so bad that his landline was also being harassed with calls.But Tyson wasn't bothered at all by any of these calls. To put it better, Tyson had been driven crazy by these calls to the point that he was now numb. It's not that he didn't care for the disturbance level of these persistent calls, but rather, he had lost the will to care.Tyson couldn't help but stare into the darkness of his office. The numbness he was currently feeling wasn't just a result of being overwhelmingly annoyed by the endless calls. Those were actually additions to another sensation he had been overwhelmed with for the past few days.Humiliation.Tyson felt absolutely humiliated, and the sole reason is the final meeting that was supposed to close up the hostile takeover he participated in…..only to lose more than just the biotech company.Obviously, he never thought things would play out the way they did.

Chapter: Chapter 526 Once Jonathan has finally calmed down, evident from the worn-down equipment in the training room, he returns to his human form. It was then that Nathan finally calmed down and he fell to his knees with a groan, blood dripping out of his nose.If it wasn't for Nathan using his dark psionic power to hold the Gouger at bay, Jonathan wouldn't have returned to his human form without killing, at least, twenty people.Blood douses the flame of fury burning inside the Gouger. When it takes over Jonathan's body, it doesn't just take pleasure in hunting and killing its prey, it enjoys devouring them as well.Jonathan stretched his arms with a satisfied grin on his face. “Whoa! That was fun! It's not every day Gouger comes out to relieve himself like this.”But his smile dwindled as he brought his hand to rub at his belly. “But it feels weird since Gouger didn't get to snack on fresh humans. It's complaining to me right now. He says it's not fair that we didn't even allow him to back a bit.”He

Chapter: Chapter 525“Once I agreed to these major terms and conditions, I was welcomed into the society with open arms. By the time this drug arrived, though, years had passed by. My wife already had our first son.”“The agreement was to infuse the strictly recommended amount of HL-66 into a fetus that wasn't more than four months old.”Edette gasped in realization of what this meant. “You were experimenting on Nathan and Jonathan while they were in their mother's womb. Did she….”Benard sharply replied before Edette could finish the question he was already expecting. “No, my wife didn't know. She didn't even know that the wealth I was accumulating for our family was due to a secret society I had joined.”“My wife would have definitely refused, and the first reason wouldn't even be about her own safety, but the safety of our baby. She cared for them more than her own life.”“She had to be kept in the dark if I was to successfully create my children. By the time Nathan was born, it became clear that the e

Chapter: Chapter 524 After the AS99 Organization was successfully established, and the first wave of altered genetic humans were made, instinctively loyal to the core as soldiers of the organization, the wealthy and influential humans began getting jealous.The jealousy towards the Ashford clan was already there, but these are people with divine blood. There was nothing that could be done.But when the Afford clan went on to create the AS99 soldiers, turning ordinary human beings into god-like entities, the rest of the world could no longer keep its greed at bay. They wanted the level of rapid global influence that the Ashford clan was building for itself, but every attempt was to no avail.Benard continued narrating as he stared at the huge glass tank filled with the jet-black goo, as if he was in a deep trance.“Millionaires, Billionaires, politicians, kings and queens, clan leaders. Everyone wanted what the Ashford clan possessed. Yes, their divine blood separated them from the rest of humanity, but

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
