It’s been five days since Jake bought Better Biscuits.Only today, Jake finished the registration process, so he officially became the chairman and CEO of Better Biscuits.However, the employees were all afraid that they were going to lose their jobs.The manager asked Jake to throw a party to cool things down.Jake told him, “Do you want me to use my money to invest in the company, or for the welcome parties?”“Of course, for the former, sir.”“Good. But I do like parties,” Jake smiled. “Since I became the chairman, shouldn’t the employees be the ones who should hold a welcome party for me?”Manger William’s expression completely changed. “Y-You got a point, sir. But inflation is on rise these days. It will be difficult to make the employees donate money for a welcome party, I think.”“Tell them this then,” Jake said. “If the party satisfies me, I will not fire anybody for their past performances.”William was excited to hear that. “I think this could work, sir. You’re brilliant.”“H

Lily, the second daughter of Benson, looked at Jake with a bit of a cold gaze. “What do you want?”Jake tossed the envelope on the desk. “Can you tell me what’s the deal with this?”The way he tossed the envelope bordered between anger and calmness.Lily opened it and checked the details. “Oh, so you’re the new chairman of Better Biscuits. That’s really unfortunate because your company lost fire insurance.”“Yeah, what fraud did the company do? Why don’t you tell me?” Jake asked.“I think you should ask the court about this,” Lily smiled, almost mockingly. “But let me save your time. The court wouldn’t support a million dollar company like it would support an insurance company that’s worth hundreds of billions. Heck, my company gives insurance to big lawyers, judges, and even the court buildings they work in every day.“So… you have no chance of winning. You should have never bought the company, but you can still find someone and sell it for a cheaper price. If you’re lucky, another i

Jake was checking through the rest of the factory if anyone else other than the manager died or not.But he didn’t find any other corpse.While he was happy that he saved many people, he was also saddened by the fact that the person he had talked to most among the employees in the past five days died.Jake returned to the main office. He kept staring at the manager’s corpse. He didn’t know if he should move it outside or not.As he was hesitating, he suddenly looked around as the flames that were dying began to rise.“What the hell? Why are the flames rising?” Jake was startled, but then he felt a strong presence in the south, toward the backside of the factory.Since he got the soul shedding skill, he didn’t feel anything like this.And this was his first time feeling the soul energy coming from another person, as this was so concentrated.Without the system telling him, Jake knew that this person was bad news.Both of them walked toward each other, with Melvyn leaking out a hot aura

Melvyn came to the sky castle wearing a hood that covered the top half of his face.The head butler immediately knew something was wrong, so he didn’t dare approach Melvyn.One maid carelessly approached Melvyn, “Young Master, you forgot to take your mobile.”She was handing him a mobile, but he slapped her with the back of his hand without even looking at her.Her head turned 180 degrees.She died instantly.Melvyn entered the castle in a hurry, not wanting to talk to anyone right now. He just rushed into his room and locked the door.He stood in front of the mirror and pulled the hood down, which revealed his face which looked comedic now.It felt strange because he was a supremely handsome fellow, but with just his hairs gone, he looked like a joker now.For someone who had cared about every single hair on his head, losing all the hair was a big blow to his ego, confidence, and overall mental health.Unable to look at himself in the mirror, he punched and destroyed it. “I can’t bea

Jake’s sister, Prisha, was laughing so hard it sounded like she was snorting.The popcorn fell from the bucket.“I expected this much, but I didn’t think she’d outright lie to get rid of you before your relationship even started,” Prisha wiped the tears from her eyes. “Oh, man. I haven’t laughed this much in a long time.”Davis appeared visibly embarrassed. “Am I not good-looking enough?”“Well, looks alone aren’t enough for some women,” Prisha said. “You should first know her preferences before you approach her. Otherwise, you’d make a fool of yourself. ‘I’m sorry. I have a boyfriend.’ Haha, it’s funny no matter how many times I see women rejecting men with that move.”“Huh, what’s so funny about it?” Davis felt annoyed.“Obviously, she was lying.”“What?” Davis was startled. “You think so?”“Of course. She didn’t even ask you why you called. She assumed it, and then cut you off,” Prisha opined. “She didn’t treat you badly but treated you indifferently. That’s a common approach we us
