...On an international flight.At an altitude of ten thousand meters."You old man, for heaven's sake, why are you bringing ashes on the plane? If you don't want to live, don't drag us into it."Curses echoed from the first-class cabin, pulling Ken's thoughts back to reality.Turning his head, he saw the overweight man in the adjacent seat hurling insults.With a Mediterranean hairstyle and a bulky physique, the man resembled a ball of flesh squeezed into the chair.The person being insulted was the elderly father of Ken's comrade.In his twilight years, with white hair, he was on this flight specifically to bring his comrade's ashes back to their hometown."You old piece of crap, wandering around with an urn, don't you want to live? Get lost!"Not only did the overweight man mock and insult, but he also shoved the comrade's father to the ground."Sorry, sorry."The comrade's father nodded apologetically, humbly apologizing while tightly cradling his son's ashes, afraid of any mishap

Randolph was scared out of his wits long ago, hastily kowtowing and pleading:"I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you. I apologize, I was wrong. Please spare my life."Ken merely cast a faint glance at him, walking and saying:"Those who offend Prosperia, no matter how far, shall be punished. Those who defy military authority shall not be forgiven."Randolph's head banged on the ground with a thud, and all his pleas were in vain."Commander Buckle, I beg for your mercy, spare my life this time! I won't dare again!""Another time?"Without turning his head, Ken left behind a single word."Kill!"The order was given, and the armed personnel briskly loaded their weapons, uniformly chambering rounds and aiming at Randolph's head and all the thugs causing trouble."Bang! Bang! Bang!"The thunderous gunfire echoed through the sky.Randolph and the thugs were all executed by firing squad.This scene left all the passengers dumbfounded.Ken, who gave the order to open fire, nonchalantly sat in a

The banquet hall fell unusually silent, as if everyone was witnessing Amanda's humiliation.However, in Ken's eyes, it was not so.Amanda, the woman who once shielded him from bullets.Watching her now, helpless against the forced marriage imposed by the family, Ken felt a moment of empathy.Nixon family head, Alfred Nixon, held a microphone and said, "This is all Old Nixon's decision. If you have objections, take it up with him."The crowd buzzed again, and mocking congratulations echoed everywhere."Congratulations, congratulations! The Nixon family has chosen a son-in-law.""That's right. I heard he's even a door-to-door son-in-law. This is a great thing."Ken's identity was exposed."What is this? Isn't he just a beggar?"The whole place was in an uproar, discussing how they had chosen a complete waste."This isn't choosing a son-in-law; it's choosing scum for Amanda, right?"Listening to the guests' comments, Amanda's face turned ashen.At this moment, her mind was completely bla

As Ken drove, neither of them spoke a word. The atmosphere inside the car became unusually eerie, continuing until they reached the Bayview Estates.Pulling into the parking lot, Ken, like a professional bodyguard, opened the car door and escorted Amanda out.Amanda hugged herself, wearing a dress, feeling the cool air. Ken, in a gentlemanly manner, took off his own coat and draped it over Amanda. This gesture brought a warmth to her cold heart that she had never felt before."Let's go. I'll take you home."Ken looked around, then pressed the elevator button.Amanda silently stood by. At this moment, an SMS arrived on her phone. It was a personnel transfer order from the Nixon company."Starting today, Chief Technology Officer Amanda is on unpaid leave, awaiting company assignment.""Unpaid leave!"Amanda's eyes widened, and after a moment, she understood.Ken hit Samuel Nixon, and the Nixon family would never let it slide.Unpaid leave was just the beginning. There might be a storm o

Nixon HouseAlfred Nixon was sitting in the Nixon family sipping his coffee, quite pleased with how he had handled Amanda and her departure.Outside the courtyard, Samuel Nixon rushed in, looking anxious. Alfred Nixon frowned, displeased with his son's appearance."Samuel! What's this disheveled look? How can you inherit the Nixon family acting like this?" Alfred scolded.Samuel caught his breath and hurriedly said, "Dad, something's wrong. Carl Charles from Charles Group insists on signing the contract only with Amanda. He even threw me out. I don't know what kind of magic potion Amanda used on him!"Alfred Nixon's face darkened. "Do you know how much effort our Nixon family put into securing this project? Now, he refuses to sign the contract? I don't care what means you use, but you must get this contract signed. If the contract falls through, you'll take the blame!"Samuel Nixon's face turned pale. He thought he had stumbled upon a windfall, but it turned out to be a hot potato."W
