Clara slightly raised her eyebrow when she heard the explanation from the Head of the Jack Family.But instead of getting angry, she let out a small laugh.“So that’s the reason?”She glanced at Alex briefly.“That girl seems quite persistent.”The Head of the Jack Family looked a bit awkward.“I didn’t mean to offend you, Miss Clara…”Clara casually shook her head.“It doesn’t matter.”She then leaned lightly against the garden chair.“If someone wants to compete with me, at least she has the courage.”Alex did not join the conversation. He simply looked at the Head of the Jack Family calmly.“Where is Olivia now?”“In the capital,” the man answered quickly. “She is being treated at our family residence there. But… her condition is getting weaker.”Alex nodded slightly.“I’ll go.”Candra, who was standing near the gate, immediately stepped forward.“Sir, in that case, I will prepare the vehicle. I will also accompany you.”Clara stood up as well.“I’m coming.”But Alex raised his han

The head of the Wang family fell silent for a few seconds. He knew… those words were not a threat. They were a warning.A man who had led a great family for decades could immediately grasp the meaning. The Wang family’s problems were not truly over. The betrayal that had happened before was only the surface of something much deeper.Wang Tuenyin took a deep breath, then nodded slowly.“I will remember it.”He cupped his hands respectfully.“Your advice… is very valuable.”Alex merely nodded lightly, as if it were nothing important.After a few more polite exchanges, the head of the Wang family finally took his leave.“Then I won’t disturb you any longer.”He bowed once more.“I hope that one day, the Wang family can repay this kindness.”Alex did not respond. He simply stood calmly in the courtyard.A few seconds later, the Wang family entourage got into their cars and slowly left the residence.Their headlights disappeared beyond the iron gate.The night returned to silence.*A mome

The hall fell silent again after that oath was spoken. No one moved. No one spoke.Everyone simply stared at Han Yi with different expressions. Some frowned, some sneered, while others merely shook their heads slowly.An oath of revenge like that did sound dramatic. But in this room… almost no one considered it a real threat.Candra looked at Han Yi with a cold gaze.“Get out…” Lori said for the last time.Cia Ren even let out a lazy sigh.“Ah… another oath.”He leaned back in his chair.“Everyone who falls always says the same thing.”But the very person who was the target of that oath—Alex showed no reaction at all. He simply looked at Han Yi for a few seconds.His gaze was calm. Without emotion. Without anger.As if Han Yi’s words were nothing more than passing wind.A few seconds later, Alex spoke casually.“Finished?”That question made several people in the hall blink in surprise.Even Han Yi froze for a moment, as if he hadn’t expected such a… relaxed response.“Just you wait

Han Yi did not answer. He could not even move.His body stood in the middle of the hall like a lifeless statue. His gaze was empty… completely empty. His lips parted slightly, yet not a single word came out. It was as if his entire world had collapsed in a single second.Just moments ago, he was still the arrogant young master of the Han family—the heir to a giant corporation in Phoenix Sky Province. A man who made others bow their heads.But now… he no longer even had a place to stand.The entire hall remained silent.Many guests looked at Han Yi with complicated expressions. Some pitied him… some felt satisfied… others were simply horrified. Because now they truly understood one thing.To oppose Alex was to destroy oneself.On the other side of the hall, Alex still stood casually. One hand remained in his pocket, while the other gently held Clara’s hand. He looked at Han Yi as if he were a stranger.There was no anger. No satisfaction. Only calmness. Yet that very calmness made the

Alex’s words were like a knife slowly twisting in an already open wound.Then Alex smiled faintly again.“Even though the Han family’s shares have dropped to zero… your family’s reputation still remains.”His gaze slowly shifted.“It just so happens that there are two very influential people here.”He tilted his head slightly toward the two figures sitting calmly.“The head of the Acker family… and Young Master Cia Ren.”Some of the guests immediately understood his meaning. If those two powerful forces were willing to help… the Han family might still have a chance to survive.Yet Alex looked as if he were watching a show.“Go ahead. The so-called most influential young master…”he said casually.“Perhaps they will help you.”The hall instantly fell silent. All eyes slowly turned toward Han Yi.The man’s face was completely pale now. But a few seconds later…he actually moved. His steps were quick.Almost like a drowning man searching for air.He stopped directly in front of the head

The voice from the phone was so loud that almost everyone in the hall could hear it. The reception hall instantly erupted into chaos.“What?!”“Pulling everything out?!”Several guests who understood the business world immediately turned pale.Han Yi himself looked as if he had been struck by lightning.“W-what did you say?!”But the panicked voice on the other end of the line continued.“That’s not all! The moment AX funds were withdrawn… several major investors pulled out as well!”“We can’t hold the market!”“The Han family’s main stock has already dropped twenty percent—no, wait, twenty-five percent!”Han Yi could barely breathe.“Impossible…”One of the Han family members standing behind him quickly took out his phone.A few seconds later, his face turned deathly pale.“Young master… th-this is insane… w-we’re bankrupt…”He showed the screen. The Han family’s stock chart, which had been stable before, was now plunging like a collapsing cliff.Several nearby guests leaned in to lo
