Dominic led the group of officials through the Golden Hills community with a confident stride.
The homes in Golden Hills were symbols of luxury and prestige. The cheapest house, priced at ten million dollars, featured minimalist modern architecture, complete with a spacious yard and a private swimming pool. On the other hand, the most expensive house, worth up to two billion dollars, was a grand mansion in a European classical style. Surrounded by hectares of gardens, the property included a magnificent hall, a private cinema, a garage for dozens of cars, and breathtaking views overlooking the hills. “Look at this house,” Dominic said firmly, pointing to an extravagant house on the corner of the street. “This house alone is worth more than two billion dollars. And it's just one of the dozens of properties Max owns here.” The officials fell silent, some beginning to whisper among themselves. Dominic continued, raising his voice to ensure everyone could hear. “I know this is hard to believe, but it’s the reality. The total value of the properties Max owns in this community exceeds two billion dollars.” “How could he possibly have so much money if he’s not involved in illegal activities?” Dominic continued. The middle and senior-level officials appeared shaken, their expressions filled with confusion. Looking at the opulence of Golden Hills, they began to question Max's integrity. One question after another surfaced: Where did Max get all that money if not from illegal activity? Coupled with Dominic's accusations about Max's involvement with prostitutes, the tension grew. Some officials, who didn’t know Max personally, started to buy into Dominic's narrative, believing that Max might indeed be guilty and deserving of punishment. One senior official, who was usually neutral, finally spoke up. “If all of this is true, then Max has betrayed all of us. He deserves to be punished!” Dominic stood in front of the group with a victorious smile. He glanced at Mr. Avo with a provocative look before speaking in a sharp tone, deliberately raising his voice to attract everyone's attention. Dominic saw this as the perfect opportunity to get back at Mr. Avo for defending Max the previous night at the hotel. “I’m sure you’ve all seen enough of the luxury Max has here,” he said, gesturing toward the large homes in Golden Hills. “But that’s not all. I’ll show you the darker side of Max’s life-his harem.” The words were met with shocked murmurs from the officials. Dominic continued, his voice dripping with sarcasm. “Yes, you heard right. The man you all respect has been living a lavish and corrupt lifestyle.” “Do you still want to defend him after all this?” Dominic deliberately aimed the question at Mr. Avo, with a challenging tone. All eyes turned to Mr. Avo, who stood behind with a cold expression. However, instead of responding, Mr. Avo simply stared straight ahead, showing no emotion. His calm demeanor was not due to shame, but more from a deep disgust toward Dominic and his dirty tactics. Dominic, misinterpreting the reaction, assumed Mr. Avo felt cornered. He smiled smugly to himself, confident that he had successfully embarrassed Max’s main supporter in front of everyone. With a confident stride, he led the group forward. Throughout the journey, Dominic continued to mock Max with a condescending tone. “A man like Max, who claims to live for the people, turns out to only use his position to satisfy himself.” “It’s shameful that some of us ever considered defending him!” Dominic deliberately glanced at Mr. Avo again, trying to provoke a reaction. However, Mr. Avo remained unmoved, his face expressionless. In his heart, Mr. Avo could no longer hide his disgust toward Dominic and Governor Darrus. Their scheming, their attempts to destroy Max's reputation without strong evidence, made Mr. Avo sick.

After finishing the investigation, Max stepped out of his private room, his expression calm and cold as usual. However, in the living room, Aurora was already waiting for him. The young woman stared at him with questioning eyes, ignoring the discomfort she felt from the presence of two additional guards stationed in every corner. “Max, what is going on?” Aurora asked, her voice trembling slightly. “Why are there suddenly so many guards everywhere?” Max kept walking without looking at her. “Just do as I say,” he replied briefly. “Do not go outside.” Aurora hurried after him, her steps quick. “But why are you allowed to go out?” she asked, her voice rising, demanding an answer. “Why do I have to stay here while you leave?” Max stopped walking but did not turn to face her. He let the silence hang for a moment before answering, “Everything will be fine if you stay here.” With that, he continued toward the main door. Just as Max was about to leave, Aurora spoke softly. “Max

Max walked quickly toward his private room, a minimalist space designed with a mix of dark wood and glass. Zoza arrived with Jamie, who was Max’s personal hacker. Zoza followed him, still breathing heavily, wearing an expression Max had never seen before — a mix of panic and deep fear. Inside the room, Max sat in his large chair while Zoza, his hands trembling, turned on the big screen on the wall. A few seconds later, a dark web page full of random text appeared. It was the most brutal black market on the dark web, a place where assassins gathered to offer the cruelest services. Zoza scrolled through the page quickly, his hands shaking, and pointed to the top post. There were two clear photos: one of Max and one of Aurora. Below them was a number that made Max pause for a moment...1 billion dollars. Zoza immediately panicked. “Boss, this is bad,” he said in a choked voice. “Someone has posted your photo and Aurora’s on this dark web site full of assassins. Whoever manag

At Vila Nexxon.... Max arrived at his home in Nexxon Villa. Since he killed Azam and sent the photos to the Hell group, the Demonic Cult had not shown any reaction. Max didn't know if they were afraid or if they were planning something. Whatever the reason, Max was not intimidated. On the contrary, he wanted to lure them out of hiding to avenge the death of his master, Lord Hades. Max stepped into the villa. The melodious sound of a piano welcomed him. In the living room, Aurora was playing the piano, singing "City of Stars" with a beautiful voice. Max was captivated. He had just discovered that Aurora was not only good at playing the piano but also had a lovely voice. Max sat down next to Aurora. He smiled faintly. The more time passed, the more he admired the young woman. Aurora looked so beautiful when lost in the music. After Aurora finished, she was surprised to see Max already behind her, staring at her. "You're home?" Aurora asked. "Zoza said you wouldn't be home often

Outside the building… "Let go! Don't you know who I am?!" Sayo shouted angrily, trying to fight back. But the two security guards didn't care. They dragged him out of the hall, which was now filled with whispers and sneering glances. Sayo struggled and raged, but his efforts were in vain. Once outside, he was pushed roughly. His body stumbled and fell face-down on the asphalt. Sayo tried to get up, but he couldn't. His chest felt tight, and his breath was heavy. He couldn't accept this reality. All of this stemmed from the burning anger in his heart. Yes, he was the one who had ordered the committee not to provide a seat for Ladder Corp. The reason was simple: he wanted to teach Max a lesson because Max had refused his offer for him to marry his daughter, Sarah. Sayo had hoped that by not having a seat at such a big event, Max would be humiliated. He imagined Max would come to him, apologize, and finally agree to marry Sarah. Sayo had even prepared a scenario where he would "forg

Max stood still in his place, not saying a single word, only looking at Sayo with a calm gaze that somehow made the air around them feel even heavier.Sayo swallowed hard. His nervousness grew worse when he realized that Senator Hayam was now also looking at him… not with friendliness, but with a cold, pressing anger.“I… I can explain…” Sayo tried to speak, but before he could continue, Hayam stepped forward.Hayam reached out and grabbed the collar of Sayo’s suit with ease. But the words that came out of his mouth made the entire hall fall silent. “Starting today, you are removed from your position as Chairman of the Lanua Business Regulatory Council.”Sayo was stunned. His legs gave way, and without thinking, he knelt before Hayam. Gripping the edge of the senator’s suit, his voice shook as he pleaded, “Senator Hayam… please… do not fire me…”“I… I was wrong, but… please give me another chance…”The Business Regulatory Council in every city of Morrow State operates under the Busin

The senators seated in the front row finally turned their attention to the commotion at the registration area. When they saw Max standing there, some of them immediately rose and walked toward him.Among them, a man with neatly combed silver hair and a perfectly tailored dark suit stepped forward ahead of the others. He was sixty-three years old, yet every movement carried the authority of someone who had once commanded on the battlefield.He was Hayam, a senator from the Business Senior Chamber International (BSCI), an elite business organization representing prominent senior executives in Morrow State.Hayam was no ordinary man. He was a former war commander who had once been Max’s direct superior in the military. Even so, he regarded Max as an equal, not only because of Max’s accomplishments in the business world but also because of the unmatched skills Max had shown during the war, which Hayam could never forget.When he reached Max, Hayam smiled broadly. “Hi, Max. How have you be
