Chapter 161: Intensions ii
Olisa didn't hesitate as her features instantly turned serious. "What are your plans?"Ryan lowered the bottle. "My plans?""For this academy." Her voice echoed through the small dorm room. She stared directly into his eyes. "You spent sixty million dollars acquiring Iron Gate Academy; no one spends that kind of money without expecting something in return."Ryan remained silent, and then she continued."So what do you want?"Ryan leaned against the desk, a small desk. "You're assuming I want something.""I know you do; I know people, and everyone, including you, has an ulterior motive,” she said, stepping closer. "Nothing in this world comes for free, so what is your endgame”Ryan studied her expression, and the genuine curiosity masking her face made him let out a short sigh. After everything that had been revealed I didn't blame her if she wanted to know whether the academy had escaped one danger only to enter another."I read every page of your proposal." She unfolded her arms. "Yo
Chapter 160: Intentions
The academy dorm buzzed with morning activity, and from across the council building, students hurried between other sectors of the academy, with bags slung over their shoulders. Instructors, on the other hand, crossed the stone walkways carrying stacks of reports from yesterday's tournament.According to the calendar, the school has transitioned to an academy schedule, concluding the physical training session. Most students who eventually graduated from the academy were guaranteed a prosperous job, which was connected to the academy's influence. With the new investor taking over, Ryan's plan would increase the academy's influence around the city.Harrison had already outlined the academy's future to him. One that would generate ten times the amount he had invested within a short time.'Students who graduated from here would be given not only a starter plan to face the outside world but would also hold influence.“Did you hear the rumor of what happened at the council meeting? "A stude
Chapter 159: A Nobody!
The room had become completely silent. Next, even the women stopped moving. Nikolai finally lowered his glass with a little frown crossing his face. He hated being disturbed, especially by someone else's matters.His expression darkened, and he narrowed his gaze to the man. "Mr. Vink,” he called, but the lawyer didn't respond."Mr. Vink!” He repeated, and this time his voice carried authority, making the lawyer finally look up. His eyes were already fear-filled."Is there a problem?" Nikolai frowned; he hated seeing people cry, as that to him was considered weakness.Mr. Vink slowly lowered the phone, and his lips parted, but nothing came out."Answer me!” Nikolaia's voice reverberated, silencing every movement. The businessmen across the room exchanged uneasy glances. And whatever had frightened their normally composed lawyer couldn't be good.Mr. Vink swallowed, feeling the tightness in his throat. "I…It's Iron Gate Academy,” he responded, and whatever trace of a smile that lingered
Chapter 158: The Times
The bass from the speakers pounded through the walls heavily, sending vibrations that rolled through the underground structure, rattling crystal glasses and expensive bottles that lined the shelves. Across the room neon lights swept in waves, painting everyone beneath them in shifting colors. Outside the private lounge, the nightclub was overflowing, and the dance floor was packed with figures despite the afternoon sun still hanging high above New City. For most clubs, daytime meant empty halls and tired bartenders, but for The Times, parties never ceased. A few months ago, it had been nothing more than a forgotten building tucked beneath one of New City's oldest commercial districts. The paint had peeled from the walls, assisted by a leaky roof whenever it rained, and rumors claimed the place had been haunted by debt more than ghosts. Then overnight, everything changed; rumors had it Millions had been poured into renovations, promoting imported marble to replace cracked concrete.
Chapter 157: Done Deal
The heavy doors of the council chamber shut behind Ryanresonating through the stone hallway before fading into silence. For a brief moment, Ryan stood still, with his hands in his pockets while his gaze lingered on the floor stretching ahead. Behind those doors, voices had already erupted into heated arguments. Even through the thick oak, he could imagine the voice of the council members struggling to process everything that had happened. Even when a few would undoubtedly argue against the transfer simply because they couldn't accept that a Tier Three student had become the institution's owner overnight. Ryan didn't need to hear the remaining part; he already knew how those discussions would end. Without hesitating, he let out a quiet breath and then started walking down the corridor. The image of Nikolai's face crawled into his mind, the anger that would mask it when the news of the academy's new owner reached him. "You!" The sharp voice cut through the silence like shattered
Chapter 156: I'm Lagacy
The documents lay at the center of the mahogany table, with its crisp white pages standing out beneath the warm chandelier lights. The official seal gleamed from the cover page, and beneath it rested signatures, legal certifications, financial statements, ownership clauses, and acquisition records. No one reached for them anymore, as every pair of eyes had left the papers and was all staring at Ryan. He remained at the center of the chamber with one hand tucked inside his pocket while the other rested against the back of an empty chair. His posture was relaxed, almost lazy, and yet the confidence radiating from him filled the room more completely than any speech ever could. The council members exchanged uncertain glances, just like the ones written across the commander's faces. One of the elders adjusted her glass, nodding to her Olisa to continue. She dropped her gaze back to the paper and then finally stopped. Unlike the others, she wasn't looking at the signatures anymore. Her
