Ch.62 - The Billion-Dollar Time Bomb
The air in the office solidified into a physical weight the instant Ryan finished speaking.A flash of shock crossed Olivia's face. She asked almost subconsciously, "Why?"She couldn't understand.This contract was the greatest showing of sincerity her father could offer. It was a top-tier resource, enough to make any entrepreneur ecstatic. Ryan had absolutely no reason to refuse.Nicholas didn't speak.He merely leaned forward slightly. His sharp eyes locked onto Ryan, waiting for him to continue.He knew the main event had arrived.Ryan ignored Olivia's bewilderment. His gaze remained fixed on Nicholas."Article 17, Clause 3."Ryan's voice was indifferent, holding not a single ripple of emotion."The supplementary agreement regarding the 'Right of Priority Disposal of Assets.' Under extreme market conditions, it creates a legal priority conflict with an offshore trust registered by the Wells Group in Luxembourg."Nicholas's pupils contracted violently.Ryan didn't pause."This confl
Ch.61 - Scent of Soap, Smell of a Trap
Inside the smoothly ascending elevator, only Ryan and Olivia remained.The half-step of distance between them vanished the instant the car started moving.Olivia took the initiative, stepping closer.Her soft curves pressed almost completely against his side. Her slender arms naturally linked through his.She rested her head gently on his shoulder.The solid lines of his muscles were evident through the thin suit fabric, projecting a reassuring sense of power.Ryan didn't pull away.He could feel the warmth of her body and smell the elegant fragrance in her hair.The mirrored interior walls of the elevator reflected their closely pressed silhouettes.Suddenly, the tip of Olivia's nose twitched.She lifted her head. Her eyes, clear as water and inches away, searched Ryan's profile."You smell..."Her voice was very light, carrying a trace of gentle inquiry."...like another woman."It wasn't perfume. It was a cheaper, more domestic scent—a mix of soap and shampoo. Very faint, but impos
Ch.60 - Beyond the Reach of Mercy
Ryan looked down, quietly watching Ethan kneeling on the ground, streaming tears and snot.Just a few minutes ago.This man had used his bespoke leather shoe to stomp on the back of Blake's hand. He had demanded Blake lick his Bentley's door with his tongue.And now.His own knees were shattered against the marble, which was much harder than a Bentley's door.There was no anger on Ryan's face.No disdain. No mockery.Only something far crueler than these emotions—absolute indifference.Ryan looked straight past the top of Ethan's head, gazing at Security Captain Max standing nearby."Max, handle it as you see fit."His tone was casual and flat.Max immediately stood at attention, responding loudly."Immediately revoke the financial summit qualification of Mr. Ethan Reed and his company! Permanently add them to the Wells Group blacklist!"Ethan's face instantly turned a deathly ash grey.Banned from entering the Wells Building.This meant he would be completely excluded from tomorrow's
Ch.59 - The Tables Turned
Max's desperate, terrified roar echoed across the wide plaza in front of the Wells Building.The dozen or so fully armed security guards froze in their tracks.The two burly men holding Ryan's arms quickly let go.They violently backed up three steps, their faces a mask of shock and confusion.The guards pinning Blake to the wall backed up, standing aside at a complete loss.Max dashed in front of Ryan in two strides.His entire body snapped to attention with a swish. His hands were glued to his trouser seams.Cold sweat dripped from his forehead, splattering onto the marble floor tiles.Max's lips trembled violently. Even his voice changed pitch."Mr... Mr. Ryan! I am so sorry!"He bowed deeply, bending perfectly at the waist."Please forgive my rudeness. Miss Olivia filled me in on your identity earlier today, and I’m incredibly embarrassed by my behavior!"After bowing, Max abruptly straightened up. He turned his head to roar at all the security personnel."Attention!""This is Mis
Ch.58 - No Pass Required
Ethan's phone call worked faster than he expected.Ninety seconds.The revolving doors of the Wells Building's main entrance spun rapidly.Fourteen black-clad security guards filed out, quickly forming a crescent-shaped barricade across the marble plaza.Tasers holstered. Earpieces in. Their gazes uniformly locked onto a single coordinate—the spot where Ryan and Blake stood.Ethan leaned back against the hood of his Bentley, looking thoroughly satisfied."You two. Please cooperate with a security check."The lead guard stepped forward. His tone was strictly business, but his eyes kept darting to Ryan's bespoke suit.The outfit clashed sharply with the grimy fire truck; it was undeniably conspicuous."We received a report of suspicious behavior. Loitering around the building perimeter and spying on internal facilities. Please show your IDs and visitor registration passes."Blake stepped up first.He pulled his work ID and dispatch order from his turnout gear, his movements as crisp as
Ch.57 - Brotherhood
The black Mercedes S-Class pulled into the underground parking garage of the Wells Group headquarters.Ryan cut the engine. He sat in the driver's seat in silence for a few moments.Two distinct problems occupied his mind.Over in the East District, Theodore's men had already scattered like a net.Yelena couldn't get far. Taking a sick mother, with no money and no car, she was limited to a bus or hitchhiking. Finding her was only a matter of time.The real battle was waiting in the eighty-story skyscraper right above his head.The investment summit officially opened tomorrow.Elise's Nexora. The hidden capital pulling Justin's strings. All the clues would converge at the summit.Ryan pushed open his door, adjusted the collar of his bespoke suit, and strode toward the elevator.The elevator chimed at the ground-floor lobby.The moment the doors parted, Ryan stepped out. His gaze swept through the three-story-high glass wall at the front of the lobby, and suddenly locked onto something
