Chapter 281: 2nd Resurrection
Fegor stepped smoothly up to the microphone stand. The young man from Warri looked out over the sea of the world's elite. He didn't look intimidated. He looked like he owned them.Fegor's golden-brown eyes locked onto Ethan."The individual in question," Fegor said, his voice a smooth, cold purr that sent shivers down the spines of everyone listening, "is seated in VIP Section Alpha, Row Four, Seat Twelve."Every single head in the front half of the auditorium turned."He is wearing a custom, midnight-black tuxedo with a peak lapel," Fegor continued, describing Ethan with the clinical, detached precision of an assassin reading a target dossier. "A white poplin shirt. An oversized, incredibly tacky silver watch on his left wrist. And he is currently sweating heavily enough to fill a swimming pool."The spotlights in the ceiling shifted.A single, harsh, blinding beam of white light shot down from the rafters, hitting Ethan Cross dead center.Ethan threw his hands up to shield his eyes,
Chapter 281: 1st Resurrection
The presence of John Cross on the main stage sent a violent, paralyzing shockwave through the massive auditorium.It was a shockwave split entirely in two.For the vast majority of the global elite which included the Saudi royalty, the Asian tech moguls and the European shipping lords among others, to them, the old man leaning on the silver-wolf cane was a complete stranger. They didn’t know his face. To them, the Cross Empire was just another successful American conglomerate, barely a blip on their trillion-dollar radars. To these people, the old man standing in the spotlight was exactly who they had been waiting for. He fit the profile perfectly: older, distinguished, carrying the heavy, ruthless aura of a man who had spent decades pulling the strings of the global economy. They leaned forward in their velvet chairs, thrilled to finally lay eyes on the mysterious CEO of the West Syndicate.But for the American billionaires, the Wall Street gurus, and the New York elite scattered th
Chapter 279: How Worse Could The Night Get?
Ethan's heart stopped. His eyes darted frantically across the visible clauses. Eighty percent controlling interest. She hadn't just sold her minority piece. She had used her executive power as CEO to authorize a blind buyout, effectively liquidating his shares right out from under him."You..." Ethan choked, the blood completely draining from his face as the reality of the image shattered his arrogant facade. "This is... you can't...""I just did," Vanessa smiled, a cold, predatory gleam in her eyes. She locked her phone and casually slipped it back into her purse."You're a fake, Ethan," Vanessa said, holding the ring between her thumb and index finger. "You're playing dress-up in a world you don't own. And I am officially done carrying your broke ass."She dropped the ring. It fell with a soft plink right into Ethan's half-empty champagne flute, sinking straight to the bottom."Consider the engagement broken," she whispered, turning her gaze back to the stage, acting as if he didn't
Chapter 278: Whips And Chains!
"Incredible achievements, ladies and gentlemen," Sloane said softly as soon as the last mogul left the stage after bragging about how he was the leading donor in the past decade for children in Africa and Asia. Really though, everyone knew that Mylan Alexandre was far from a charity person. He was in fact the very opposite of that entity. But in this hall, tonight, anyone was whoever they claimed to be as long as they had the gold to buy the domain."But as you all know... true power is not just about what you have built. It is about who allows you to build it." Sloane continued, her voice devoid of the playful irk it had prior.The lights in the auditorium dropped by fifty percent. The room was plunged into a moody, theatrical shadow."For one hundred years," Sloane said, her voice echoing in the absolute silence, "the Chairman of the West Syndicate has guided the board from the shadows. The identity of the Boss has been the most heavily guarded secret in the history of finance. But
Chapter 277: Congratulations!!
Vanessa smiled, a genuine, terrifying expression of pure greed. She leaned over the desk and finally penned down her signatures on every single part of the document. The scratch of the silver pen against the heavy paper was the sweetest sound she had ever heard. Her signature was flowing, arrogant, and the most beautiful it had ever been.She flipped to the last page, signed her initials, and confidently handed the thick stack of papers back to the lady.The lady in the glasses took the documents. She meticulously checked each signature line, ensuring everything was perfectly executed.Then, she smiled and extended her hand across the desk.Vanessa shook it firmly. Her palm was sweating, but she didn't care."Well, this is a big congratulations to Lang Enterprises," the lady said smoothly, stacking the papers and slipping them back into the manila folder. "A very big win for them. The company's official account details are already registered on our system. The payment receipt, along w
Chapter 277: The Universe
Vanessa slowly shook her head. Her brain, which had just been firing on all cylinders to deliver the pitch of her life, suddenly slammed into a brick wall."I'm sorry, what?" Vanessa breathed, her voice barely a whisper.The lady in the glasses looked up from her notepad, her pen hovering over the desk. "Huh?"Vanessa gripped the armrests of her leather chair, leaning forward, her eyes wide with a mixture of suspicion and desperate, clawing hope. "Did you just... did you just accept my deal? Just like that?"The lady smiled softly, a perfectly practiced, completely unbothered expression. She reached into her manila folder and pulled out a thick stack of legal documents, printed on heavy, expensive parchment."Well, you offered a billion dollars, and a billion dollars you get," the lady said smoothly, sliding the thick stack of papers across the polished mahogany desk. "I must say, Ms. Lang, you are a very good negotiator. You made a compelling argument for the future of your real esta
