Ramos Horta was even harsher. “Don’t act arrogant as if you know everything! Who do you think you are? How dare you presume to read our minds?”The other presidents looked at Putri coldly, exuding an overwhelming aura. Her face suddenly turned pale, she realized her words had offended everyone.At first, what she worried about most was that Fugaku Meteor’s actions might drag down the Vegas family’s reputation. She had only wanted to clarify that Fugaku Meteor had nothing to do with her family.At the same time, she had hoped to win the favor of Aprilia Darmawangsa and the company’s top executives. Yet instead, she had accidentally provoked their anger.Aprilia Darmawangsa looked coldly at every member of the Vegas family except Dimitri Vegas and said, “All of you have already been blacklisted by our company. And yet you still dare to show up at this banquet? How shameless!”“Security! Throw them out!” Melin understood Aprilia Darmawangsa’s intention immediately and called the guards.

The other executives also turned their heads.Fugaku Meteor spoke with a faint smile. “If you believe that person is him, then yes, he’s the one.”Ramos Horta’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he fell silent. The leaders of YoPlane Company, Avolution Company, and IBM Enterprise also began to ponder, looking uncertain.At last, Ramos Horta spoke. “Stop arguing, everyone. Let’s hear what this young man has to say.” His tone had turned respectful, completely different from how he spoke when the Vegas family was still present.The others nodded in agreement.“Alright.”“Those directly involved in something often lack clarity. Observers, however, can remain calm and objective, they see things more clearly. Perhaps this young man can offer a perspective we’ve all overlooked.”Even Dimitri Vegas found himself astonished by Fugaku Meteor. He had thought that by offending the top corporate leaders, Fugaku would surely drive them away and lose all sponsorships.But Fugaku Meteor didn’t look at the ex

Shanny Vegas quickly turned to look at Fugaku Meteor, ready to mock him. She walked up beside Dimitri Vegas and said, “Father, didn’t I tell you not to trust that loser? Because of him, our success vanished right before our eyes!”Putri joined in, pointing furiously at Fugaku Meteor. “This is all your fault, you worthless man! How dare you oppose those top executives? You’ve doomed our entire family!”Dimitri Vegas, who had been lost in thought, snapped out of it and shook his head firmly. “You fools! Enough with your noise! You’re all misunderstanding, ”“Misunderstanding?” Bastian Vegas’s expression hardened. He stared sharply at Dimitri. “Dimitri, I think you’re unfit to be the head of this family. You shouldn’t have hired someone so useless. Your biggest mistake was trusting that loser to handle our affairs. You should’ve appointed a family member, someone reliable.”“The sponsorship funds have already been transferred.”Bastian froze mid-sentence, caught off guard. “What… what di

Dimitri Vegas truly didn’t want to see his family tear each other apart over money, so he took a step back. “Alright, Fugaku, that’s enough. Like I said before, the division of assets will be based on family proportions. I’ll make sure it’s done as promised…”“No.” Fugaku Meteor’s voice cut through like ice, stopping him mid-sentence. “Father, you’re too kind. You always see them as family, but have you ever asked yourself whether they deserve to be called family?”He turned his cold gaze toward Putri and the others, his tone sharp and steady. “It’s normal for a husband and wife to share everything, but when trouble comes, they split apart. Yes, they may be your wife, your daughter, your elder brother, your younger sister, you share the same blood. But when things got difficult, they all ran to Rudy. Not one of them cared about your struggles. And now that there’s money, suddenly they call themselves family again? The world doesn’t work that easily.”“Y-you!” Shanny and the others wer

One pair of footsteps sounded more prominent than the others, graceful, authoritative. Everyone couldn’t help but turn, and they saw Aprilia Darmawangsa striding briskly, followed by a group of senior leaders from YNetwork.Perhaps because of Aprilia’s influence, most of YNetwork’s senior leaders were women, each beautiful and supremely charismatic. No smiles touched their faces, only serious gazes and a stern bearing. When this entourage arrived, an indescribable aura settled over the room.“Mrs. Aprilia Darmawangsa,” Dimitri Vegas greeted her at once upon seeing her.Shanny Vegas and Putri glanced at Aprilia with fear, no longer daring to speak as they had before. It was the first time Bastian Vegas, Jane, and the others had seen Aprilia up close. They were all struck by her strong, elegant presence and her flawless beauty.Aprilia answered calmly, then cast a quick look at Shanny and her mother before saying, “Mr. Dimitri, it seems the atmosphere at your home is rather uncomfortabl

Putri grew emotional again. Her voice trembled as tears streamed down her cheeks, her words soaked in anger and hurt. Seeing her hysteria, Dimitri Vegas fell silent, lost in thought.Shanny Vegas, Bastian Vegas, and Jane all spoke up in her defense. “Father, don’t make Mother cry. Just do as she asks, she only wants what’s best for the family.”“That’s right, Dimitri,” Bastian added. “Six trillion is too much money for a single project. Sharing a little won’t cause any trouble. Or if not, we can use some of it to win over that woman, Raisa. As long as the president of YNetwork doesn’t find out, everything will be fine.”“You know how bad the Vegas family’s finances are, don’t you, brother-in-law?”They didn’t realize that the more they spoke, the deeper Dimitri’s disappointment grew. Seeing that her persuasion wasn’t working, Putri’s expression twisted into bitter resentment.Her fingers trembled as she pointed at him. “Fine, Dimitri. You’re really heartless! I, Putri, married you whe

Green Hills, Northern.Fugaku Meteor stood with his hands clasped behind his back, silent at the river’s edge, watching his reflection ripple across the water.Under the pale glow of the moon, his face looked almost ghostly. For a long while, he stood motionless. Then, slowly, he unbuttoned his shirt. Beneath it, his chest was carved with muscle, hard as stone, each line precise. But what stood out most were the scars, dozens of them, crisscrossing his body like a battlefield map.Gunshot wounds, blade marks, scars old and new. Among them, two stood out, deep, brutal slashes across his chest, so large they nearly spanned from shoulder to shoulder.Even now, they looked raw, faded, but not healed. The skin was no longer bleeding, yet the wounds still breathed pain. Fugaku ran his fingers over them, and his eyes turned cold, a killing intent flickering within their depths.These were the wounds he’d received from the simultaneous assault of the Fushi Army.That day, the Fushi Army had m

For a long moment, Fugaku Meteor said nothing. The moonlight washed over him, silver against the still river. Finally, he turned toward Shilpy and spoke softly, his tone stripped of all command and pride.“I don’t want to lose any of you.”The words hung in the night air like something fragile and sacred.Shilpy’s heart trembled violently. Her eyes reddened. “Young Master is a god of war, a leader of nations, you’ve watched too many people die, friends, comrades, loved ones.”She knew what lay behind that quiet gaze: too many battles, too many ghosts. Fugaku had seen war in all its forms, blood, betrayal, and silence. His heart had been tempered to steel. But now, after finally finding a semblance of peace, a family, he didn’t want to lose it again.Shilpy smiled faintly, her voice raspy when she answered, “Understood.”Her single word melted into the dark.***The next morning.Fugaku Meteor didn’t go to Altar Company. Instead, he stepped into a small café tucked in the corner of a q

“Merlion, what are you doing here?”The sudden voice shattered her focus.Merlion froze, her expression hardening as she turned sharply toward the source. The man standing there, a handsome young man with a confident smirk, was the last person she wanted to see.“Arthur,” she snapped, her tone sharp and low. “Are you following me?”Arthur Kenya feigned innocence, raising both hands slightly in mock surrender. “Following you? I prefer to call it fate bringing two hearts together.”He stepped closer, smiling with infuriating charm. “Merlion, from the first moment I saw you, I knew you were the woman I wanted to marry. And these past few days, I’ve been thinking of ways to prove it. Here,” he said, producing a small velvet box from his pocket. With a flourish, he flipped it open, revealing a brilliant diamond ring.The few customers in the café gasped.“Wow!”“That ring looks insanely expensive.”“Why can’t you be rich like that guy?” one woman whispered to her boyfriend.Arthur basked i

At that moment, Zam Malik finally recognized the man standing before him. His eyes widened in shock. “Hey, you! So it’s you!” he shouted, pointing straight at Fugaku Meteor.Arthur Kenya frowned. “You know him?”Zam Malik nodded bitterly. “Brother Arthur, remember I told you a few days ago that I was beaten half to death by two experts? He was one of them!”The memory still burned vividly in his mind, the humiliating scene where Shilpy had lifted him single-handedly like a rag doll. It had been the lowest moment of his life. Just recalling it made his stomach twist and his face pale.“So he’s the one?” Arthur’s eyes flicked up and down Fugaku Meteor’s figure. The calm, unassuming man before him didn’t look like much, lean, ordinary, not threatening in the least. He snorted. “He doesn’t look like a fighter to me.”Zam Malik shook his head rapidly. “No, no, you’ve got it wrong, Brother Arthur. It wasn’t him. It was the woman with him, she’s terrifying. I barely escaped with my life.”Ar
