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 573 Edward Reynold had flashes of cameras going off on his face, but he remained standing with a calm expression of an upstanding man as he spoke to the media crowded in the lobby of Reynold’s Agency building.“To those who are furious about where I have been for so many years, I will gladly entertain your questions at other times.”“Right now, I'm not here to keep up this company on behalf of my father and little brothers.”He shook his head with a calmly resolute expression. “No, I'm here to reform it to something they would never be able to destroy while watching it from prison. I want this company to become something worthy of my mother's legacy.”This was the point Edward was getting across. He wasn't back to hold onto what was originally his father's property, but to develop everything for his dead mother.There were questions arising about the death of Benard's first wife - Edward's biological mother.The reporters have caught on to alleged suspicions that Benard might have killed

Chapter: Chapter 572 Benard had disappeared from home by the time the AONAB agents rushed in to apprehend him officially.It wasn't that AONAB was slow with their arrest. First of all, their headquarters base is incredibly far from Los Angeles. So getting to the residence, located in the middle of the city setting, took a while.Plus, the local low faction AS99 group was tasked to surround the Reynold family's mansion and wait for the AONAB agents to show up.Ray Fenix, the leader of the Red Fenix, had even been permitted discreetly by Jamie to move enough of his low faction AS99 soldiers and carry out the orders from the AONAB headquarters.Yet, the mission failed. Benard was gone by the time the agents arrived at the residence, and Ray Fenix was confident in his report that no one came in or out of the perimeter. In truth, Benard had made his move long before the AONAB even tasked the Red Fenix Gang to do anything. Jamie sat in the rear seat of his customized Mercedes-Maybach Exelero worth $18 millio

Everyone was talking about it, and of course, this news didn't stop in Los Angeles or California. It has become a highly trending topic across the globe.A week has passed, and news headlines ensured that the Reynold family had soared in popularity. If it had been prior to this uncovering of the truth that was hidden for more than two decades, this degree of popularity would have been greatly welcomed by Benard.But now, there was nothing beneficial about it. Benard had been found by AONAB to be dealing in the hoarding of hi

Chapter: Chapter 570“Stacy, when I met with Nathan and Jonathan, they were with a group of thugs who were later revealed to be a part of a secretive society that the AS99 Organization has long marked as a great threat.”Stacy's eyes furrowed slightly. “What do you mean, Jamie?”Jamie told her what had happened throughout his encounter with Jonathan and Nathan, exceptionally excluding the parts that would reveal his own identity.The story Jamie fed Stacy was definitely redacted: he left out the part where he had fought the superpowered Jonathan and the animal-controlling Nathan with his own powers.Instead, Jamie gave Stella and the Bridge Crow the entire credit. After all, Stacy was well aware that these soldiers weren't ordinary, having been given to him by the Ashford subordinate backing him up.The parts where he fought Inland Taipans, as well as incredibly poisonous bugs that fire around him were left out. The part where Stella and the Bridge Crow activated their full nanotech armors, pretending no

Chapter: Chapter 569 In the end, Nathan and Jonathan left with Tyson.Minutes later, they were halfway down the mountain when Nathan spoke to Tyson sitting across from him in the SUV. “We can't go back. The AS99 Organization definitely knows about us now.”Tyson smirked at him with interest. “What do you think? You revealed your powers in their presence. There's irrefutable proof of what you both are. It's only natural that they know now.”Jonathan shook his head. “Doesn't that mean that….we can't go back home?”He jerked up as the realization struck him, ignoring the armed bodyguards of the Crook family who visibly tensed at the sudden movement of this terrifyingly powerful half-human.“Dad! Nate, what about that?! That orphan bastard, he trashed the place! What if Dad is still injured?!”Tyson chuckled with a casual wave of his hand. “Don't worry about your Dad, Jonathan. He's been evacuated before law enforcement could reach your residence. He's been hidden in a safe place, where he's being treated.”

Chapter: Chapter 568 Soon, a convoy of SUVs with four-wheel drives showed up to pick them all up.Tyson gestured at the convoy while smiling at the Reynolds brothers. “Come with me, I'll get both of you out of here.”Nathan was hesitant about this. Even though there was logic to Tyson now treating them with a different degree of hospitality, it was weird.Even for an impulsive young man like Jonathan, he felt hesitant without his older brother having to stop him. He didn't fully trust Tyson as well.Tyson raised an eyebrow, his smirk growing slightly wider. “What is this? Don't tell me you guys are now cautious of me?”Nathan didn't directly confirm those words. “It is easy to be fooled by this sense of camaraderie now that we know that we are more alike than before. Still, there are two of us against all of you.”Jonathan nudged his chin towards Jenna Harlow with concealed lust brimming out of him every time he merely glanced her way. “You have a dark entity with this much power. Plus, you came with man

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.

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
