Those two men who had stripped naked and jumped into the water earlier. He could now see them swimming just below the surface of the ocean. That wasn't the shocking part. The speed at which they were moving within the water was incredibly fast for a human being. They were practically matching the speed of dolphins as they rushed towards the dumped goons.Then the boss watched with a racing heartbeat as they each grabbed one of the goons and then plummeted beneath the surface, dragging these injured men into the depths of the ocean.“Holy shit! There's no way I'm not hallucinating at this point. Did they just…..”His heart burned and his eyes watered when he saw his victimized men resurface, thrashing as they screamed for help, only to be dragged beneath the surface of the water once again.Then the goons resurfaced again, weaker this time, with blood pooling around them as they became less energetic. They were dragged again. By the time they resurfaced, their limbs had been severed,

As it turns out, James Wes was infuriated at what happened to his son. The man is still recovering at the hospital. He was brought on a stretcher, revealed to have been poisoned by a group of assassins back in Paris, and he had been unconscious the entire time, even after the poison residue had long been flushed out of his system.Steven remained in the hospital, but he never got a visit from anyone other than his family members. However, James Wes wasn't happy about this at all. He had expected that, as the future daughter-in-law of the Wes family, that Juliet wouldn't actually show up to check on his son, not even once.Then it got worse, when he learned that she was visiting her father in the same hospital. At this point, it was like a deliberate act to piss him off.“It seems I've taken things way too easily with Professor Julian and his daughter. If it wasn't for the conditions placed upon me, I wouldn't have my son go through all that trouble just to be with the daughter of a

Gerald called his uncle later that night, starting off the video call with a slight exchange. The family's expanding business empire was at the forefront of the conversation, as they talked about the increase in net worth.They are reaching close to $2 trillion in total net worth, and this has granted an additional level of power to the Arnold family. They've quickly risen as the most powerful family in the United States, and are challenging many other hidden dragons across the globe for ultimate power.“Gerald, I have something to confess to you.”Gerald glanced at the man on his phone's screen while typing away on his laptop.“What is it?”Samuel seemed to hesitate before finally speaking.“The projects that we were working on, right from the start. I'm talking about both the development and acquisitions. Yeah, they weren't all my ideas. Haven't you ever wondered how these projects have caused such a massive expansion in less than a year, and the foundation of the empire has not be

James sneered.“I see. I may know a thing or two about this…target that you're talking about.”Lara giggled with a mocking tone.“Oh, I know you do, but you're not gonna make me beg to get the information from you. As a matter of fact, I don't even need it from you. Of all the foot soldiers in that city, you're the one with the least information. What? Did he hurt your family's interests? I heard of the constant attack in the Wes-Dalton alliance. Things haven't been going your way.”Hearing the mocking tone m, and the blatant words of heat Lara was throwing at him over the phone, James Wes was starting to get pissed off.“So you're already aware. Don't worry too much about it then. There's only so much a useless student of Westbridge University can do for me. My son isn't going to be in the hospital forever. Until then, I'll help him deal with that orphan young man, as well as get the Dalton family under control.”Lara hummed a peculiar tune.“You say you have everything under contro

James backhanded the chief security across the face, shitting him up effectively.“Shut up! Let me think!”The force of the hit sent the chief security guard staggering to the side, hands on his face as he hunched over in pain.James Wes turned to his secretary.“What are all these about?!”The secretary took a good look at the head and whispered back to him.“Sir, please take a closer look. Don't you recognize him?! That's the head of one of the members of the group of goons you hired to go deal with Vice-Chancellor Dalton and his daughter.”James's face went pale as he stared at his secretary for a while, hoping to find a hint that the younger man was messing with him. But there was none, making it clear that the secretary was definitely not joking around.He whipped his head back at the frozen head on the ground, muttering to himself.“What the hell? How did this one end up like this? What exactly is going on here?”At that moment, the screen with the smiley face spoke again.“Vid
