"Mr. Forger," Mayor Abraham said, trying to de-escalate the situation, "This isn't a waste of time. We need to consider all aspects."Suddenly, Noah Hernandez slammed the table and stood up. "Mayor, stop wasting words on him! I'll make it clear today: if the O'Conner project is handed over to the Hernandez family, we will cover the investment in the city's three major projects next year. If not..." He sneered. "The city's financial hole tomorrow might be difficult to fill."The blatant threat immediately made Mayor Abraham's face turn pale.Just as the situation was at its most tense, Javon suddenly laughed. "Mr. Hernandez is truly impressive. But I'd really like to see, are your connections stronger, or are mine?"Ronan burst out laughing. "Javon, are you insane? You're just a small family from out of province; how dare you compare connections with us? Do you know who my uncle is? The Secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission!""A young man should be wiser,"

"The O'Connor project is gone, so what? It's not the end of the world," Noah said, his voice a low, steady rumble. "Our true focus is on young master Samuel. He's coming to Salvador, and if we can serve him well, it will open up a whole new path for our family."The moment the words left his lips, Noah’s phone chimed with an incoming call. His relaxed expression vanished, replaced by a cold, serious mask as he saw the caller's name. He motioned for Ronan to stay silent. "Mr. Xander, to what do I owe this sudden call?""You know exactly why I'm calling. Don't play dumb with me!" The furious voice on the other end of the line was a razor's edge. "Didn't I tell you to deal with the Forger family? So how in the hell did they win the O'Connor project?!" Ever since Javon killed Aurora, Xander had been on a mission to eliminate the Forger family."You're mistaken, Mr. Xander," Noah replied, his tone laced with a bitter edge. "Javon has single-handedly taken down three families in a row. He e

The threat in his words was crystal clear. "I don't think that's a good idea," Javon replied with a shrug, his eyes turning slightly cold. He hated being threatened the most."Fine, very fine," Samuel hissed. He then pointed to his Lamborghini. "Elizabeth, my car only fits two. Come on, ride with me.""Forget it, I'm not used to riding in sports cars," Elizabeth refused instantly. "You just lead the way. Javon and I will take our own car." She turned and, without waiting for a reply, got directly into Javon's car.Seeing this, Samuel's face grew even grimmer. Full of rage, he got into his sports car and sped off.Inside the car, Javon closed his eyes, while Elizabeth secretly glanced at him as she drove."Ahem!" Javon coughed deliberately. He felt a little uncomfortable being stared at like that.After being caught red-handed, Elizabeth's neck and ears turned red. "I wasn't looking at you. I was just looking at the rearview mirror."After a long while, Javon sighed. He looked at Eliza

Elizabeth was filled with disgust. "I'm sorry, Samuel. I've told you for a long time that I don't like you. Now, I also have someone I like." As she spoke, she unconsciously glanced at Javon.Hearing Elizabeth's words, Samuel's expression turned ugly. His soft approach had failed, so he switched to hard tactics. "Don't forget, you are in the entertainment industry. If you offend me, offend Harsen Entertainment, you know what the consequences are."Those words made Javon frown. He picked up an ivory chopstick from the table and immediately threw it.Swish~The chopstick shot out at high speed, flew past Samuel's face, and embedded itself in the wooden wall behind him. Samuel was so terrified that he gasped for breath."What do you think you're doing?"Javon took out a napkin, wiped his hands, his eyes as sharp as a knife. "Didn't you hear her say she doesn't want to be with you? Do you not understand human language?""Samuel!" Seeing him go too far, Elizabeth immediately said with a di

After getting into the car, he immediately started it. On the way, he felt hotter and hotter. A powerful Qi was flowing uncontrollably throughout his body, and his consciousness began to fade. With the last ounce of awareness he had, he parked the car on the side of the road.Before long, a car pulled up beside his. Eliana frowned and got out. "Javon, what's wrong with you?"Without waiting for Eliana to finish her words, Javon opened the car door and dragged her inside. His eyes were red and his breathing was heavy."You... what's wrong with you?" Eliana's body trembled. She felt that something was seriously wrong."Stay away from me... it's dangerous..." Javon whispered with the last of his strength.However, Eliana could feel the suppressed desire in Javon's eyes. She didn't leave, but moved closer. The next second, she immediately tore open her dress. Her fair skin and full chest appeared before Javon."I know you're not feeling well right now. If you need my help, I can help you,
