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!

Chapter: Chapter 522 Edette knew she had to calm herself, despite being creeped out. She was initially here to console Benard after the brutal loss the Reynold family had suffered at the hands of the Carson family.Therefore, she was nowhere near prepared for what was now unfolding. Even the way Benard was explaining Jonathan's transformation to her creeped her out immensely.But she managed to calm herself. If there was something she was good at, it was staying calm no matter how terrifying the situation was. Plus, it helps that the people she is currently dealing with aren't strangers.She's been with Benard for more than a decade, and has been fucking his son behind his back, without this vigilant man suspecting in the slightest. This is something she could definitely handle.So she cleared her throat and sat up straight, eyes now filled with calm concern and confusion. “Tell me, why am I not affected by the intense murderous intent coming from Jonathan's beast?”Benard replied with a righteous demean

Chapter: Chapter 521 The beast that seemed to be made completely out of darkness gave off an overwhelmingly domineering aura. It was like staring at the most hellish beast one could think of.In this form, Jonathan was on all four, with an incredibly fearsome robust build that towered at eight feet tall. One can only imagine how huge this creature would be if it stood on its hind legs……or paws.Through the jet-black fur it was completely covered in, the eyes shine completely red. The pair of eyes was so red that an already scared human might think fire was dripping out of the optical sockets.The claws that extended in and out were blood red as well, as are the fangs. This beast mode of Jonathan definitely looked like it came straight from hell. It was absolutely terrifying.In the living room, Edette was pressed super hard against the side of Bernard Reynold, eyes filled with absolute terror, her body shaking uncontrollably while she began to sweat as she stared at the screen in front of her.The CCTV f

Chapter: Chapter 520 Jonathan had started the training with glowing eyes and a sinister smile that revealed protruding fangs where a normal human shouldn't have any.The new upgrade in the training room designed for him was brutal. He was being shot with arrows as well as bullets that would kill a human being.But Jonathan could survive these attacks. In fact, he was able to avoid each barrage of bullets.That was until it got harder…..and the training got harder really fast. Before Jonathan knew it, he was filled with bloody holes in his body.He was bleeding and his speed and strength were rapidly dropping in stats. He gruffed out with a deep voice as his movement had gotten a bit sluggish, but still super fast by human standards. “What the hell? Is this meant to kill me or something?”From where he stood, Nathan could hear his little brother perfectly. His eyes were currently out inky black with his aura completely turning the room around chilly to the point where the housekeeper at the corner could

Chapter: Chapter 519 Nathan got Jonathan out of the living room by the ear, dragging him towards the training room that was primarily built for him.It wasn't like Nathan was physically stronger than his younger brother. After all, Jonathan's beast-like strength was far too strong, but it was more like Jonathan became tame when dealing with his older brother.Nathan's influence over Jonathan is almost downright instinctual for the brawny guy. This is because of Nathan's innately dark psionic power.Nathan has the ability to bend the will of animals to his thoughts. Hua's command becomes the victim's reason. To this, Jonathan isn't immune.By nature, Jonathan's inner beast is incredibly wild, and thus, should have been impossible to control. Luckily, the innate power that Nathan developed solved what would have been an uncontrollable issue for everyone, including the Reynold family itself.Whenever Jonathan is in his beast mode, he should be unstoppable as he goes on a rampage, not stopping until he's sat

Chapter: Chapter 518 Nathan got up, gazing at his father. “Dad, I'll deal with Jonathan. You should have a proper chat with Edette about everything.”As it turns out, Nathan didn't just make this statement randomly. He needed to get his little brother out of here. At least, he needed to get the brawny young man out of this living room before things got worse.Jonathan hadn't stopped after he threw the large statue so hard and far that it totally crashed into the mansion's main entrance, crushing the huge doors to be found outwardly. The sheer amount of physical strength it would require to do what Jonathan did would have to be inhuman. Even the dumbest minds in this mansion could tell that Jonathan's display of strength right then was far greater than anything he had shown before.Well, not every employee in the estate was truly shocked. There were a select few of the mansion employees who simply pretended before shushing the gossip within the younger employees, urging them back to their roles.They kne

Chapter: Chapter 517 The Reynold family was miserable. In the living area, Jonathan was pacing back and forth while Nathan, Bernard, and Edette were sitting on the couches, eyes lost in the space of nothingness while they replayed everything that happened yesterday.After the crushing defeat at Carson Biotech, causing both Crooks Studio and Reynold's Agency to lose face to such a humiliating degree, the Reynold family had dispersed to their bedrooms through the rest of that day, locking themselves up to deal with their individual emotional reaction to this defeat.It was now the early morning of the next day but they didn't feel any better. In fact, they all felt worse than they did yesterday, now having more than enough time to digest the defeat they were dealt at what should have been the final meeting of the hostile takeover of everything that is Carson Biotech.Edette was actually the least bothered about this. Though she understood what her lover and his children were going through, as she had witne
