No wonder Alastair could build an underground business empire as massive as Olympus and maintain it with an iron fist for decades against greedy relatives.Behind his frail, sickly physique and his reliance on a wheelchair, the old man's brain was a weapon of mass destruction. All his core skills broke through the maximum limit!Driven by an overwhelming curiosity, Seth pushed his luck. 'System, Mind Reader.'The System blinked rapidly.[ Calculating target's mental defense... ][ WARNING: TARGET POSSESSES SSS-CLASS MENTAL FORTRESS ][ Cost: 25,000 Points per minute! ][ Insufficient Points. Access Denied. ]Seth swallowed hard. Twenty-five thousand points just to peek into his thoughts for one single minute?! His grandfather's mental defense was absolute and flawless.Seth immediately cast away any intention of carelessly manipulating or lying in front of this old man. If he made a single wrong move, that 226 IQ would skin him alive."What is it, Seth? You suddenly look tense," Alast

Leila's defense shattered into pieces. No more words could save her. The woman herself was the one who had discarded Dustin.“And I swear on my life, Leila... you will never see my son's face again for the rest of your life. I will make sure Dustin forgets he was ever born from the womb of a woman like you."Those final words destroyed the remnants of Leila's sanity. She screamed hysterically, howling and beating the concrete floor in a regret that burned her soul. Victor stepped forward expressionlessly, grabbed the back collar of Leila's dress, and dragged her thrashing body out the door.Now, only Max remained in the room.The man did not try to beg for mercy. He did not cry. If Leila, who once held the status of Seth's wife, was treated that coldly, Max knew there would be absolutely no forgiveness for him.Max looked up with difficulty past his severely swollen eyes. "How... how do you know about Alastair Olympus, Seth? Answer me. That's all I want to know before I die.""The ans

Since he couldn't act too far within Olympus without triggering suspicion, Seth ultimately focused on what was already in his hands: BioCore Inc. Seth now had to resurrect the pharmaceutical company that rumors claimed was in ruins just yesterday.Seth's first step was incredibly simple: he contacted Patel.The head researcher, whose secret Parisian affair now lay firmly in Seth's grasp, didn't dare argue. Following Seth's orders, Patel released the actual clinical trial results of BioCore's latest cancer drug to the public, complete with supporting medical journals.Because Patel previously spread the news of the failure without his name, Patel's clarification erased the 'false' narrative with utmost ease. The public and investors deemed yesterday's issue merely a cheap smear campaign from a competitor.In just forty-eight hours, BioCore's stock skyrocketed once more.The majority shareholder was technically Victor Strand, as he had seized the company from Max. However, with one brie

Seth was doing something entirely new. An activity he never would have thought of doing in his past life. Playing golf.Seth knew that this rich man's game was highly beneficial for building connections, but the old Seth had been too idealistic, assuming connections didn't matter as long as he worked hard to develop his business.A step that was proven wrong. Seth had realized it too late, and he couldn't fix it because his body was growing increasingly weak from Leila and Max's poison.Now, there were no more obstacles. Seth understood the absolute importance of connections, and his body was still incredibly healthy.So, when Clara mentioned that one of the candidates he wanted had a hobby of playing golf, Seth immediately seized the opportunity.Seth now stood in front of the Royal St. George's Golf Club, one of the most exclusive clubs on the outskirts of London. He had adjusted his appearance, blending in perfectly with the other elite patrons so as not to look suspicious while hi

Lucian greeted Seth's arrival personally, as usual."Hello, Dustin. Do you want more ice cream today?" Lucian looked down to greet Dustin first.Dustin shook his head, smiling shyly. Seth had indeed reprimanded the boy for eating too much sugar with Chloe during the banquet."Aren't you working?" Seth asked, surprised to see Lucian at the manor during working hours."I spend most of my time here. I only go to the office for important calls and actively participate in trials during major cases involving Olympus," Lucian explained casually, taking Dustin's hand and walking inside."I see." Seth nodded slowly. He now understood that Lucian's main job actually took place at this manor, not at the law firm that built his reputation.Alastair must pay him an astonishing amount to keep him as the main watchdog of Olympus.Alastair, reading a business report in his grand chair, looked up as footsteps approached. His usually harsh facial lines softened, and he broke into an instant smile upon
