In the video call, Samuel Arnold is in what looks like a luxurious sauna. The wooden background looked simple, and yet, the quality of the wooden walls and benches, like the one behind him, was unmistakably top-notch. Gerald could also see some men in just towels lounging about the place while the warm steam went on full blast.As for Samuel himself, he had his elbow propped up on the cushioned floor behind him while the rest of him was submerged in what looked like a pool of milky water.Gerald raised an eyebrow.“Hold on, where are you? Are you still in….”Samuel chuckled with that wealthy man's tone as he stared at his nephew with a hat smile on his face.“My dear nephew, I'm in Japan right now, acquiring two powerful companies. Well, they are not powerful yet, but the potential is incredibly endless….”Gerald patiently listened as his uncle went on and on about these companies, including the ones he had obtained in China recently. He needed whatever this man had to stop thinking

Since his uncle already knew about the two incidents that happened yesterday, Gerald decided that it wouldn't hurt to talk to him about the other mysterious incident that took place at T.O.F. Medical Tower.“Uncle Sam, do you know Director Xandro Jennings? He's a top neurosurgeon who works at T.O.F Medical Tower.”Samuel thought for a moment before nodding his head.“Isn’t he also the head of the Neurology Department at that mega-hospital? Yeah, I know him. Why?”Gerald asked his question with a racing heart as he anticipated a reply to this.“Um, did he have any sort of close acquaintanceship with the family?”Samuel turned to his personal assistant before shaking his head at him.“Not one that is known to me or the family generally. Why? Did he say something that made you suspect that he might be close to our family?”Gerald sighed as he shook his head.“To be honest, no, not really. It's just that I got to meet him briefly, and….I don't know, there was something off about him.”Sa

Jackson Blank had no idea why things had turned out the way they did. About a week ago, his mother had reached out to him about some trouble his younger brother, Freddy, was facing at Westbridge University. According to his mother, some orphan loser who had come into wealth by once-in-a-lifetime sheer luck had begun bullying Freddy on campus. It has even gotten to the point that he got arrested in the presence of news reporters, and a lot had to be spent to keep the scandal from tarnishing the reputation of the Blank family. There was also the recent one where Freddy got humiliated by that orphan boy at Pentagon Talent Agency, and it even led to the exposure of the mole that the Blanks family had installed in the agency headquarters for years.PTA was a rapidly growing talent agency and the Blanks family, along with many other families across the United States, were putting in great efforts to buy some shares from that agency. The mole had been carefully planted and was being neut

After waiting for about a minute or two, it was finally Gerald's turn and his crew's.The car pulled up to the scanner, and right as the security announced that the scanning was about to proceed, Gerald watched as Chauffeur Richard tapped his fingers on the function tablet of the car, and selected the ‘false scan’ option. He then gave a wink to Head Bodyguard Kevin, who chuckled and nudged him in the arm.“Cheeky-ass driver.”The car was then scanned properly within a couple of seconds. Then the security guard near them nodded his head.“Alright, you're good to go. Thank you for your cooperation.”The same happened to the SUV that came with Gerald. They also activated the car's false scan and got through successfully without having to get out of the car to be searched manually or have their body touched for inspection.As the cars reached the parking lot, they even struggled to find a spot as it was filled with cars.Head Bodyguards had an intrigued expression on their faces.“What e

Gerald was stunned momentarily by that slap, not because it hurt, which it did, but more so because of how he had earned himself that attack. He slowly turned his face back to the gorgeous woman with a stunned expression.“Excuse me?”The gorgeous young woman now had her bodyguards helping to stabilize her back in her high heels. She looked irritated as she glared at Gerald.“How dare you fucking touch me like that?! Do you know who I am?!”Gerald immediately knew to calm himself before a raging person. It won't be good if he loses himself to his emotions. So he took a deep breath before speaking with a leveled tone.“Miss, why did you slap me just now? I just saved you from falling flat on your face. What exactly did I do to earn that slap?Before the gorgeous young woman could reply, one of her bodyguards checked on her.“Miss Blanks, are you okay?”Tearing this last name, Gerald immediately felt the threat of a headache promising to ruin his day. It turned out that, of all the fl
