Roderick was proud of Jack and Joe for their sensible request. They were just in their early twenties, but they had their eyes on highly valuable knowledge.Roderick inwardly commended them for that, as he was impressed.Jack and Joe had their heads bowed before Roderick, anticipating his response to their request.They could only hope for a positive answer. After all, they knew whatever Roderick said would be final.The duo seemed not only to have their eyes on highly potential future knowledge but also to possess great morals.Just then, Roderick placed his hands over their shoulders and said, "It's really impressive that you both value knowledge. Especially healing techniques. It's one of the most essential types of knowledge to keep life running smoothly. Whoever acquires such knowledge has the whole world in their palm."Jack and Joe felt more motivated as they could relate so well to what Roderick had just said. They had thought about all this, which was why they had gathered th

Roderick slowly dropped the teacup in his hand onto the table as the news sounded unbelievable to his ears. His face changed immediately as he searched for a place in his mind to sit with the news and think about it."What? How and when did that happen?" The question fell from his mouth immediately.The Santos family had treated him worse in the past. Also, they never ceased to make use of any opportunity they found to embarrass him. Yet, there was still something inside him that naturally sprang up whenever he heard that the family was in trouble.Well, it's nothing but the family name 'Santos.' Given that Oliver Santos was Roderick's benefactor, it would be difficult for him to watch his family suffer, even though they had never treated him well even once.The news that the family is bankrupt conveyed no other message to Roderick's mind than that Oliver Santos was in a financial crisis.The entire family might be useless, but Roderick wouldn't mind going to any length to help them o

At this time, Caleb Houston was in his office reading news on a secret website where first-hand information is published. This website is very limited to a few people, especially influential ones.The website serves more like a spy. It's where they get information earlier before it finally goes viral. Sometimes, the news remains a secret.He was sipping his tea as he scrolled through the website.Just then, he came across news about the government's development plans for the land at Tuchel Avenue and its surroundings.Caleb was instantly stunned to see this. Not in this life did he ever think that such an abandoned part of the city could eventually get the government's attention someday.He was displeased about the news as he remembered that Roderick purchased the land at Tuchel Avenue for the Bolton Group at the auction.He was Roderick's enemy and would never want anything good to fall on his side.Caleb felt that by the time the news about the government plans for the land at Tuche

Caleb wailed in deep pain and nearly fell from his seat before Jacob moved closer to him to support him."Jacob, tell me this is a dream?!" Caleb was more overwhelmed by the pain than he had been previously.This was because it had now become clearer to him that he had truly lost two hundred and fifty million dollars, and there was nothing he could do to help himself."I will be frank with you. This is happening in reality. You just have to take heart." Jacob's response made Caleb feel a quick strike in his heart.He couldn't believe it. Didn't it mean that his rank among the Big Four had automatically dropped, too?Caleb nearly went mad at the thought.This time, he was able to understand why the Bolton Group didn't respond to his proposal. He even felt foolish for making such a proposal to them, not knowing the news he thought they hadn't heard was already the talk of the city.Caleb regretted proposing the useless land at Bellmore this time.He knew the Bolton Group would see him a

All the workers had their eyes glued to their colleague in shock as he flew through the air a great distance after just a slap. In a moment, his body hit the floor with a thump, and almost all his bones were damaged."Huh?!" The pot-bellied man was the most shocked of them all. He couldn't understand how on earth a slap could send someone flying through the air such a great distance."Hurry up and check on him!" he quickly ordered his men before turning to Roderick. He pointed an angry finger at him and swore."You didn't just come to claim land that doesn’t belong to you, but you also harmed my worker. I swear on my life that I will make you regret this."The pot-bellied man expected his threat to make Roderick immediately plead with him. To his surprise, Roderick only stood and watched him, anticipating whatever the man was capable of.This hurt him deeply, as he felt powerless. He had thought his threat would work magic, but nothing happened.Then, he tried again. "I know you must
