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!

As for Meghan and Olivia, they finally understood why these marked men never updated her on the mission they were assigned. It's because they were dead.Meghan and Olivia finally calmed themselves and were now dealing with the confusion aspect.Deputy Manager Otis Stanley stepped forward, staring warily at Jamie and his group. “You guys, do you have guns on you?”Jamie stood there calmly, staring at the deputy manager before shaking his head, and slowly raising his hands, palms spread wide open for the guy to see. “Nope. Do you see any guns on us?”On cue, Tom, Stacy, and Billy all opened their hands as well.Seeing this, Deputy Manager Otis Stanley pointed down at the ten corpses. “Then how did these people….Are you telling me that they shot themselves?”Stacy walked forward, showing a distraught expression. “Actually, I couldn't believe it either. I really thought they would hurt us.”She explained everything that happened from her perspective, throwing in Jamie's explanation that

Chapter: Chapter 241 Otis, Meghan, and Olivia walked towards the private changing room that Aaron had called them to. There, they found the four attendants pacing back and forth, all with worried looks on their faces.Seeing the look that Aaron was giving him from afar, Deputy Manager Otis Stanley could immediately tell that his boyfriend had caused some kind of problem, and thus, he couldn't let outsiders in on it.Therefore, Otis turned to Meghan and Olivia. “I'm, ladies, can you wait here. I'll sort out whatever the other issue with employees is first before I come to deal with the issue you brought up to me, okay?”He didn't even wait for a reply from either of the two beauty goddesses before he left them to go talk to the attendants. Watching Otis be dragged away to a far corner by the four attendants, Meghan and Olivia were not happy about it.Olivia scoffed. “What the hell? Can you believe this guy? After buttering him up for almost an hour, he's not even taking up our case first.”Meghan patted

Stacy was disturbed by the sight. “Holy shit. Guys, I think we should call the cops. Let them handle this.”Billy held Stacy closer to him. “But they'll definitely take us in for questioning.”Jamie shrugged his shoulders. “That's fine. I have nothing to hide. Other than fist-fighting, I didn't do anything to kill these people. Plus, everything I did was in self-defense. So I'm not worried about being interrogated at all.”Tom had to turn his face away to hide the smirk that was threatening to surface across his face. He was a bit impressed by his young master.The way Jamie had dealt with these people was brilliant. Even if Jamie was found to be the murderer, he won't go to jail. After all, one call from him to the Mayor of LA would ensure that the case is closed, and the police don't release any information regarding the case to the public.But Jamie didn't need that. During the entire fight, he had only laid his hands on these men a few times. The severe bone breaking and twistin

Back inside the private changing room, the three men, no longer with their masks on, had emptied their guns. But they stood there, stunned as they saw that none of their dots made an impact against the target as they had intended.Instead, these bullets just hung in the air, mere inches from Jamie's raised hand. This was him doing this. The leader of the masked men finally got his confirmation, as the chill spread to his body, and he whispered to himself in a horrified daze. “You really do have powers. H…How? How did a druggie like you truly achieve such a high level?”The entire world is pretty knowledgeable about how supernatural abilities are obtained within the AS99 Organization. Soldiers only get their physical bodies enhanced between the one-mega-star level and the three-mega-star level of evolution. It is only after they cross this threshold that their energetic rhythm manifests a supernatural power, either elemental or otherwise, enabling them to become Generals.Following

The demeanor Jamie held as he just stood there was somewhat terrifying to the masked leader’s heart. But he was tied to sound unshaken. “Is it really you? How are you doing this?! Did you spray some kind of paralysing powder in the air? When did you do it? How come I didn't….”Jamie groaned slightly, looking up at the ceiling. “Yo, shit the fuck up. You talk too much, and yet, you don't know shit. Paralysing powder? You've gotta be kidding me.”Jamie slowly raised his right hand, his fingers curling in and straightening, and as a result, the masked men began screaming out in immense pain and the sound of their bones cracking could be heard.“Aaarghh!”“Please, stop! Good G…...”The leader of the masked men could stop himself from shaking, sweat dripping from his forehead as he watched, horrified, his men's appendages and torso bending in the most unnatural ways. None of these people is a contortionist in any way. “Y …You have powers? Holy shit, you're not…. You're not a druggie, ar

For as long as they've remembered, they've never lost to any of their victims.Of course, it goes without saying that this group has always avoided the real deal on this local turf, The Red Fenix Gang. After all, they wouldn't dare challenge such an authentic faction of the Almighty AS99 Organization.Hey truly didn't expect that this time, they would come across someone whose murderous intent was this oppressive. They even suspected that he had to be a soldier from the AS99 Organization, maybe a defected soldier from the Red Fenix soldiers.Is that even possible?
