C20: Kneel And Call You Master!
"Ah—!" Shocked gasps instantly erupted throughout the hall.The employees stared at Veyron in disbelief. Their gazes quickly changed from surprise to judgment.An ex-convict?Their boss lady actually married an ex-convict?!"What?!" Grandfather Blackwell was so furious that he slammed his walking stick repeatedly against the floor.THUD!THUD!THUD!"Iris, have you lost your mind?!"His face turned red with rage. "How dare you marry an ex-convict and disgrace this family?!" Iris ignored him completely. Instead, she turned toward Veyron with a slight frown."Why are you here?"The situation was already chaotic enough. His appearance had only made things worse."I happened to pass by," Veyron shrugged lazily. "So I came up to take a look at your company.""Very good!" Grandfather Blackwell sneered coldly. "You came at the perfect time!" He pointed his walking stick directly at Veyron. "Listen carefully, you brat. If you don't divorce Iris today…" His expression turned sinister. "You
C21: You Are Finished!
RING!RING!RING!Before anyone could say another word, Barrett Volkov's phone suddenly rang loudly.He frowned slightly, but the moment he saw the caller ID, his entire expression changed. The arrogance on his face vanished instantly, replaced by flattery and respect.He hurriedly answered the call."Master Niko—""BARRETT!"The furious roar from the other end exploded through the phone so loudly that even the people nearby could vaguely hear it.Barrett's smile froze."M-Master Nikolai?" he stammered."Who exactly did you offend?!"Barrett frowned instinctively and glanced coldly toward Veyron."Just an arrogant brat. Why?"Veyron's lips curled upward faintly at those words, but he remained silent.There was a brief silence on the other end. Then Master Nikolai spoke again, his voice trembling heavily."An arrogant brat?""Do you know that all six banks financing our luxury real estate projects have suddenly suspended cooperation with us?!"Barrett's pupils shrank violently. Master
C22: I Want A Divorce
"You bastard," Victor glared hatefully at Veyron. "Did you just report Barrett anonymously with that phone call?""Hmph!" Catherine crossed her arms and sneered. "Reporting people behind their backs is the only thing trash like him can do.""Tsk," Veyron looked at them like they were idiots. He couldn't even be bothered explaining himself.In his eyes, people like the Blackwell family were not worthy of an explanation.Meanwhile, Iris quietly exhaled in relief. 'So that's what happened...'For a brief moment earlier, she had almost believed Veyron truly possessed terrifying influence capable of destroying Barrett Volkov with a single phone call.But now, things finally made sense. After all, Veyron had just been released from prison.How could someone like him possess enough power to blacklist one of Highmont's largest investors overnight?Thinking of this, she shook her head slightly and dismissed the ridiculous thought."Dad..." Catherine grabbed Grandfather Blackwell's arm with an
C23: The Boy Stays With Me
"You want a divorce? Humph! I won't agree to it!"Robert's smile froze instantly. He clearly hadn't expected Jasmine to reject him so decisively.His expression darkened as he glared at her fiercely, only to hear her continue stubbornly."I didn't do anything wrong to you," Her reddened eyes trembled slightly, but her voice remained firm. "So why should I divorce you just because you said so? I refuse!""Hehehe!" Robert laughed coldly. "I knew a wretched woman like you wouldn't agree so easily."His eyes narrowed contemptuously. "You don't want to leave because of money, right?"He puffed out his chest proudly. "Well, I have more than enough now!"SWISH!He leaned into the Rolls-Royce and pulled out a thick stack of cash.Without hesitation, he flung the money directly at Jasmine's face. Dollar bills scattered everywhere."That's four hundred thousand dollars!" Robert pointed at her arrogantly. "Take it and divorce me immediately!"Then his expression darkened further. "And the boy s
C24: Personally Deliver Judgment
Jasmine's bruised face was covered in blood, but the fury burning in her eyes had never been stronger. She had finally been pushed beyond her limit."Fine!" Robert shoved Jack aside violently and turned toward her, his fists clenching tightly."Since you want to die so badly..." His expression twisted viciously. "I'll fulfill your wish!"SWOOSH!His fist descended violently toward Jasmine's head. But then—"How dare you?!" An icy, murderous roar exploded across the street like thunder.Robert's body froze instantly. The hair on his body stood on end. Even his raised fist halted mid-air.THUD.THUD.THUD.A tall figure walked forward slowly.Veyron's face was terrifyingly cold. His eyes looked terrifyingly devoid of emotion.The murderous aura around him was so oppressive the temperature seemed to plummet instantly. His fists slowly tightened by his side.CRACK.CRACK.The sound of his clenched knuckles cracking echoed faintly. Then his gaze fell on Jasmine's battered body beneath Ro
C25: Find Him
A luxurious light-blue Bentley Bentayga was already waiting quietly outside the hospital.The moment Reginald Langford saw Veyron walking toward the vehicle, he immediately stepped out respectfully."I pay my respects to the Legendary Marshal."His posture was humble and submissive. Completely unlike the terrifying business tycoon feared throughout Northern Meridian.If outsiders saw this scene, they would probably faint from shock.He personally opened the car door and gestured. "Please, get in."Veyron nodded faintly and entered the vehicle calmly. The Bentley soon glided silently into the city roads.Inside the car, the atmosphere was strangely heavy.After several moments, Reginald cautiously raised his head."My Lord..." He hesitated briefly before asking respectfully, "You summoned me personally. Is there something you require?"The moment those words fell, the air inside the car seemed to turn colder.Veyron slowly lifted his eyes. "I want you to find someone for me," his voice
C26: Supreme Black Card
At one glance, Zayden could already tell the man before him was a typical nouveau riche.The expensive clothes. The arrogant posture. The vulgar way he flaunted his wealth. Everything about him screamed uncultured upstart.Instantly, Zayden lost interest. To him, people like this weren't worth attention.But just as he was about to look away, his eyes suddenly froze on the black card resting between Robert's fingers.The dim casino lights reflected faintly off the card's dark surface. And in that instant, his pupils shrank violently.THUMP!His heartbeat accelerated violently. His entire body trembled with excitement.That card... That supreme black card... How could he possibly not recognize it?!His breathing turned hurried as he stared at Robert in disbelief.Then carefully, almost reverently, he asked, "S-Sir... are you the Legendary Marshal?""Huh?" Robert was caught off guard. His brows furrowed strangely.'What nonsense is this brat talking about now? Legendary Marshal?'He alm
C27: Rich Overnight
The next day, Veyron went to the hospital to visit his aunt. Before he even stepped into the ward, loud laughter drifted out from inside. His brows rose slightly.When he entered, he found Iris sitting beside Jasmine's bed. The two women were chatting happily like long-lost relatives who had reunited after years apart.For a moment, Veyron was surprised. Although Iris was usually cold and distant toward him, she seemed perfectly willing to spend time with his aunt."Veyron."Jasmine was the first to notice him. Her voice was still somewhat weak, but her complexion looked much better than the previous day."Aunt Jasmine," Veyron walked over and placed a basket of fresh fruits on the bedside table.His gaze briefly met Iris'. Neither spoke, yet both acknowledged each other with a silent nod.Just then, Jasmine frowned slightly. "Veyron, Iris already brought fruits for me earlier."She pointed at another basket nearby. "Why did you buy more? Isn't this a waste of money? Didn't the two of
C28: Across Five Provinces
Children? Family line? Iris' thoughts immediately spiraled out of control. She and Veyron? Having children?The image flashed through her mind for less than a second before she forcefully crushed it. For a moment, she simply stared at Jasmine, completely speechless.When she finally regained her composure, she obviously couldn't tell Jasmine the truth about their marriage.Instead, she shot Veyron a deadly glare. The meaning was clear.'Are you asking for trouble?'The innocent man could only rub his nose helplessly. 'I had nothing to do with this, wife. It was all her idea.'Jasmine remained completely oblivious to the silent exchange happening right in front of her.She smiled warmly at Iris. "Iris, tell me. When do you plan to have a child?""Aunt... this... I..." Iris' face flushed crimson. She was so flustered she couldn't even form a complete sentence.Fortunately, Veyron decided to save her. He casually stepped forward and grabbed her wrist."Didn't you say you had something i
C29: A Living Legend
"Iris, why are you always so overconfident?" Victor Blackwell looked at her with open contempt."Do you really think a company like Raven & Radiance is qualified to participate in Cartier's bidding conference?"His lips curled mockingly. "Or did marrying this man suddenly make you lose your senses?"Iris' expression darkened instantly. But, before she could reply—THUD!Grandfather Blackwell struck his cane against the floor. The sound echoed sharply. His aged eyes shifted toward Veyron before returning to Iris."Actually, the solution is very simple," He raised one finger. "Divorce him."Then another finger. "And the Blackwell family will invest one billion dollars into Raven & Radiance."The surrounding applicants immediately gasped. One billion. Even many established jewelry companies would find such an investment difficult to reject.However, Catherine frowned immediately. "Dad! One billion?"Her face was full of dissatisfaction. "Isn't that excessive?"She glanced toward Iris wit
