The nightmare Darwin and Damien were facing dragged out, silence etching around the walls of the study room.

Before the caller could say anything more, Damien had pressed the hang up button.

His eyelids twitched as he looked up at his withered grandfather, not knowing what to say.

As if what they had heard wasn't enough, a familiar figure rushed into the room, with loud heavy breathings. The person’s chest heaved up and down, a sign of running too fast.

‘’ Dad,’’ Damien called out, startled by the person’s sudden arrival.

As addressed, the familiar figure was Damien's father, who was also Darwin’s first son, Tom Blackwood.

‘’ Things are getting worse!’’ He exclaimed in loud exhale, the gray suit he was wearing wrinkled all over.

Darwin’s heart lurched the instant he heard that - knowing another bad news was looming.

‘’ Our stocks are dropping drastically. Within an hour, we have lost over a hundred million dollars!’’ Tom announced gloomily, gazing at Darwin with terror. ‘’ Da

    “ Thank you,” she forced a smile this time, but remained collected. “ Can we get down to business?” The man lewdly nodded, crossing his legs lazily. “ So what do you have for me to change my mind?” Amelia clasped her hands together on the table and gestured to the dishes that were already served. “It's not fair to discuss on an empty stomach right?” They both picked up the cutlery and began diving into the laid down exquisite dishes. In the process, Amelia spoke up, “ During the phone call, you said someone is deliberately making things hard for me. Can you provide more details on that?” Her eyes were narrowed and glued to the man’s face, which wasn’t really pleasing to her eyes.But there was no other option for her - this was about the fate of her business. However, the man scoffed, taking a sip from his wine cup and responding with a thick voice, “ There’s nothing for you to know more.” “Why?!” She blurted almost immediately. “ I don’t know the culprit and I am sure the ot

  • Chapter 66: New plan

    The night wind blew, sending a gust of chills around the city. An ash colored Range Rover pulled over right next to an estate gate. Inside the Range Rover which was excluded from the rest of the world, one could see the familiar five executives all wearing a gloomy look. “ Oliver, what are we going to do?” Nicholas seated at the passenger seat swiveled his head to face Oliver who was handling the wheel. The other three were seated at the back of the car, each of them in their own thoughts. But the atmosphere in the car was solemn as if something unfortunate had struck them. “ I don’t think there’s anything we can do other than to accept the chairman’s final decision on us,” Landon spoke up at the back, his eyes hollow with sadness and regret. “ Yeah.” Max rubbed a hand over his face and sighed. “ I agree. This is Cloudreach we are talking about. Is there anything we can do again? If we decide to go against the chairman, we might end up shooting ourselves in the legs. T

  • Chapter 65: Fang emblem

    ‘’ There will be a better time for that,’’ Logan gave a firm response ‘’ Let’s watch them pull all their strings.’’ He wasn't bothered about the executives as they were like rats trying to go against a big cat. ‘’When they are back again, I will be here waiting,’’ Chen said, leading Logan towards the control room. ‘’ After clearing the man, I pulled up the CCTV footage. There's something you must see.’’ ...... The two walked into the control center, where the soft hum of electronics filled the air with controlled lightening. The monitors displayed several images that were connected to the dozens of closed circuit televisions (CCTV), the feeds flashing in and out. Logan had been here before when he was inspecting Cloudreach, and his expression at that time had shown he was satisfied with some development. But there were still more to improve according to him. Chen reached out to take a remote controller, pressing a button and the large black monitor began to shift images to the

  • Chapter 64: Accept the offer

    Earlier on when they arrived at the parking lot earlier, Logan had sensed some murderous intent around the area, which was why he raised his guard. His senses were already jolted on alert. A shot cut through the air! With accurate speed, Logan shifted, his ears prickling. As the bullet was fired in Samantha’s direction, he immediately stepped forward, looping his arm around her shoulder, pulling her against him. A tremendous amount of aura surged from him, not loud but a force that was strong enough to counter the bullet! The silvery bullet approaching at an extreme speed, slowed down in mid-air as if something had blocked it. Before anyone could blink, the silvery bullet started heating up, turning from silvery to molten and exploded, sending out several shards of it falling down the parking lot. Boom! The pierces clinked against the ground loudly. Clink!!! Because of the sudden immense aura that exuded from Logan, those around him; Mayor Richards, and the bodyguar

  • Chapter 63: A visit to the chairman

    Hearing Mayor Richard's words, annoyance filled Chen's face.Logan had many relevant things to attend to, other than an informal meetingHowever, he could only keep his complaint in his heart to protect Logan's secret identity..Surprisingly, Logan gave a positive response, which stunned Chen. " Sure." Then, he led both Mayor Richard and Samantha to a spare office instead of the chairman's office..Seeing this, Chen relaxed and turned to Camila who had been watching the whole scene dumbfounded."Don't you have any more work?" Camilla blinked and shifted her attention to Chen.." No......uhm..isn't Chairman Logan the chairman?" She asked with a puzzled expression having heard Logan himself mention that the chairman was not available. Why would Logan say such? She couldn't comprehend it. Chen gave her a straight look and said, " Follow the lead. Prepare a coffee date for them.” With that, he walked away, leaving her to sort things. Meanwhile, Logan sat calmly in Chen’s off

  • Chapter 62: Going to Cloudreach

    “Mayor, what are your thoughts on this new development?” one of the members, who appeared to be of mixed race, asked while pointing to the projector that displayed images in the boardroom where the conference was taking place. This interrupted Mayor Richard, who was lost in thought, as he tilted his head to face the people in the boardroom. His eyes caught several gazes laced with anticipation, as his final say would determine the project's fate. However, Mayor Richard’s mind had wandered to something else entirely. At this moment, he couldn’t pay close attention to the project until his curiosity was satisfied. ‘’Gentlemen,’’ Mayor Richard cleared his throat, and expressed his view, more like announcing, ‘’ I say we adjourn this meeting.’’ The individuals present in the boardroom, all dressed formally, sat around a long round table, exchanging glances. Confusion, shock, and annoyance were evident across their faces. ‘’ Mayor, is there any issue that we are unaware of?’’ Th
