Ryu quickly went straight to shopping, picking up whatever caught his eye. Ranging from shoes to watches to outfits.It was a fun experience for him, having to buy whatever he wanted without holding back. He could recall in the past how he had always wanted something but never got it for himself because he couldn't afford it.He spent a good thirty minutes shopping. He would pick up outfits, try them on, and sometimes change his mind to pick another outfit. It went on till he was finally done.By the time he was done, he ended up spending three million on the things he bought and two million on the salon section. This made his chest thump fast because who in their right senses would spend that much money on clothes and salons?He turned to stare at Drew and inwardly glared at him, why would he bring him to such an expensive place? And not to mention, the clothes had no price tags on them.He felt they were being cheated, this was definitely a rip-off."Excuse me, are you sure you aren

Ever since Ryu left and was never seen again, life became a lot more better for Belle. Who would want to deal with a lazy broke husband when they could have a rich boyfriend anyway?Richard had been treating her way better than Ryu would ever in his entire existence. Richard was way more romantic, considerate, and rich too.She was enjoying this little life of hers and now she wanted more, she wished to be married to Richard now but she was still married to Ryu which made it impossible.And to make matters worse, nobody knew where Ryu was at the moment. After being thrown out of their house, he was nowhere to be found. His phone wouldn't go through. But Belle had not been searching for Ryu all these while because she missed him or was worried about him, it was mainly because she wanted to hand him a divorce letter and call their marriage quits.She wanted nothing to do with him and didn't want anything of his attached to her or around her. Now that she couldn't find him, she hoped he

"I'm going to make you the CEO and sole successor of this company Ryu, how do you feel about that?" He asked to see the shock that immediately fell on Ryu's face.The office fell in utter silence as Ryu stood in shock, trying to digest the words he heard from the Chairman, making sure he heard right.Did he hear right? Sole successor and CEO of what? This sounded so absurd to Ryu that he felt a little dizzy.He tried getting rid of the dizziness by shaking his head a bit and stared back at the Chairman, "What?" He asked hesitantly, seemingly still in great shock."I know you heard me and I can tell you this for free," the Chairman said, rising from his chair and slowly walking towards Ryu. "You can't afford to say no to me. No, I mean, you have no choice here, you can't decide. I made that decision and as my son, you have no choice but to comply, or am throwing you back to where I picked you up." He deadpanned, another piercing silence followed his words as Ryu took his own sweet time

Three months flew by with Ryu getting the mentorship he needed from Drew. He was taught everything he needed to know about business and about the company in general. He was given practical tests and theory exams and he passed them to both his and Drew's surprise. One month into the mentorship, Drew could already see Ryu was taking it seriously. One could tell the young man was eager to learn. The way he asked questions out of his own curiosity and the way he answered the questions asked to him, Drew knew he had buckled up. He had a good brain too, he could easily grab onto things, even the ones that seemed like they weren't there and the ones Drew had purposely made to appear so. Every single day that came, it became as if Ryu woke up with a new willpower to learn and this was impressive to Drew. During the three months of mentorship, some of Ryu's practical tests had involved him having to spend his day in the company with the Chairman. He attended meetings with the Chairman and

The heavy door closed behind him with a soft but terrifying click that echoed louder in his ears than it actually was, and at that moment Ryu realized he was truly alone inside the battlefield Drew had prepared him for. The conference room was large, far larger than it had seemed from outside, with a long polished table stretching across the room and a massive screen mounted on the wall. Around the table sat men and women old enough to be his parents, some even his grandparents, all dressed sharply and radiating authority that suffocated the air. Their eyes followed his every movement as if measuring his worth in seconds, and he could almost hear their thoughts screaming the same thing; Who is this boy? Ryu swallowed, his throat suddenly dry, his palms damp, but remembering Drew’s words, he forced his feet to move forward instead of retreating. Each step felt unnatural, like walking on unfamiliar ground, yet he continued until he reached the empty seat at the head of the table. The
