2026-06-02 01:09:11Leo stared at the top secret red folder in his hands. The name of his stepmother, Beatrice Sterling, glared back at him from the official papers. A cold, fierce anger surged deep within his chest.
Beatrice was the wicked woman who had made his childhood a living hell after his biological mother passed away. She was the one who had tried to steal his family inheritance back in the capital city.
Leo realized that his five years of amnesia and his sudden placement in this specific province were not an accident. Beatrice had been hiding her dirty money here all along, using Julian’s father as a puppet to wash her illegal cash.
“Keep a close eye on the capital,” Leo ordered Logan, his voice dropping to a freezing temperature. “We will destroy her little puppets here first. Tomorrow night, the Vance family falls. Then, I will head back to the capital to take her head.”
“Yes, My Lord,” Logan replied, bowing his head in total obedience.
The dark SUV dropped Leo off at his small, rented apartment on the poor side of the city. He spent the rest of the day resting his body and organizing his global forces for the upcoming grand gala.
Late in the evening, as Leo was drinking a simple cup of water, his cheap delivery phone began to ring loudly. The screen displayed Chloe’s name.
Leo let the phone ring for a few seconds before he finally picked it up. He did not say anything. He just placed the phone against his ear.
“Leo? Are you listening to me?” Chloe’s voice blasted through the speaker, sounding incredibly arrogant and proud. “I am calling you to officially demand a breakup. Do not ever tell anyone that you were once my boyfriend. It is completely embarrassing to me.”
Leo remained perfectly calm. “Why are you calling me just to say this, Chloe?”
Chloe laughed loudly and nastily over the line. “I am calling to make sure you know your place, trash. I know you were secretly happy when you heard Julian’s father had a small problem this morning. Well, let me tell you something, beggar. The Vance family is untouchable.”
She paused for a second, and Leo could hear her taking a deep breath of satisfaction.
“Julian just bought me a beautiful diamond necklace and a stunning gold dress, Chloe boasted happily. Tomorrow night, the great Dragon Vanguard is hosting an exclusive business gala for the absolute top elites of the nation. Julian’s father spent ten million dollars to secure VIP entry tickets for us. I am going to be Julian’s official date.”
Leo smiled a cold, silent smile in his dark room. “Is that so?”
“Yes, that is so,” Chloe snapped, her voice full of pure mockery. “Every single billionaire, political leader, and high society prince will be in that grand ballroom. The mysterious Supreme Sovereign of the Dragon Vanguard will be there too. Julian is going to sign a multi-billion dollar construction contract with him, and our family will become ten times richer than before.”
She chuckled darkly, enjoying her own words.
“I am telling you this because I want you to understand the massive distance between us now, Leo. While I am walking on the red carpet with the most powerful people in the world, you will be riding your rusty bicycle in the dirt, delivering cheap noodles to poor people. You are a dirty insect, Leo. You will never even breathe the same air as the elites there. You cannot even enter the parking lot of that palace.”
Leo listened to her endless bragging without a single trace of anger in his eyes. He felt absolute pity for her. She had spent ten million dollars of stolen investor money just to get a ticket into his own house. She was dressing up in gold just to attend a party where he was the king.
She had no idea that the Supreme Sovereign she was dreaming about meeting was the exact same man she had dumped in the mud.
“Are you done talking?” Leo asked softly.
Chloe scoffed loudly. “Yes, I am done. Enjoy your miserable, poor life, delivery boy. Do not dare to show your face near me ever again.”
Leo replies calmly, “I'll be there, Chloe. Make sure you dress well.”

Chloe lay on the hard floor, her mind completely blank. The sharp pain on her cheek felt like fire. She looked up at Donald, the powerful bank boss, with tears of confusion in her eyes. Her beautifully styled hair was now a total mess, spreading out in the dirt.Julian gasped, his mouth opening wide. “Mr. Donald, why did you hit my girlfriend?” Julian yelled, stepping forward to protect her. “She was only telling the truth. That boy over there is just a delivery driver. You slapped the wrong person.”“You brainless idiot,” Donald roared, his voice shaking the massive crystal chandeliers above them.Donald did not look like a calm bank boss anymore. He was panting heavily, his face turning a deep, angry purple. He raised his finger and pointed it directly at Julian’s face, his hand trembling with pure rage.“Do you have any idea who you are talking to?” Donald shouted, making sure every billionaire in the room heard him. “You think your family is rich because you have a few real estate
Chapter 11: Shockwaves in the Ballroom
The giant golden spotlight stayed frozen on Leo Sterling. He stood completely still in the middle of the VIP area, his hands tucked quietly into his black suit pockets. The bright light made him look like a powerful god who had just stepped down from the sky.The entire banquet hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. The wealthy billionaires, the famous politicians, and the top business leaders all stared at Leo with wide eyes and open mouths. They were waiting to see the most powerful man in the nation speak.Suddenly, a loud, screeching laugh broke the holy silence of the room.It was Chloe Taylor. She was pointing her finger at Leo, her face twisting into a hideous, ugly grin. She laughed so hard that her expensive diamond necklace shook against her skin.“This is a mistake,” Chloe screamed at the top of her lungs, her voice echoing through the high-end sound system of the hall. “The spotlight made an error. Turn that light off right now. That boy is not the Supreme Sover
Chapter 10: The Banquet Hall Trembles
Julian Vance smiled widely, his eyes full of pure victory. He stood with his arms crossed, waiting for Commander Marcus to swing the heavy weapon and smash Leo into the concrete. Chloe Taylor giggled, raising her hand to cover her mouth as she prepared to watch Leo get dragged away like a stray dog.“Shut your mouth,” Commander Marcus barked, his voice exploding like a sudden clap of thunder.Julian’s smile grew even bigger. He nodded quickly. “Yes, Commander. Tell this trash boy to shut his mouth.”“I was talking to you, Julian Vance,” Commander Marcus roared, turning his fierce gaze directly onto the wealthy real estate heir.Julian froze. His eyes blinked in total confusion. “Commander? What do you mean? I am the VIP guest here. My family paid ten million dollars. This boy is just a delivery driver.”Commander Marcus did not care about Julian’s words. He stepped forward, his massive body forcing Julian and Chloe to take three quick steps back. The sharp black baton in the commander

The night of the grand gala finally arrived. The Grand Dragon Palace was completely lit up by thousands of beautiful golden lights. It was the most exclusive and secure building in the entire city, owned directly by the Dragon Vanguard.A long, thick red carpet stretched from the main entrance all the way down to the street. Hundreds of photographers stood behind velvet ropes, their cameras flashing rapidly as luxury sports cars and black limousines pulled up one by one.The wealthiest billionaires, top political leaders, and famous celebrities stepped out onto the carpet, all dressed in stunning diamonds and expensive suits.A shiny silver sports car screeched to a halt right at the front of the line. The door opened, and Julian Vance stepped out. He wore a sharp white tuxedo that cost thousands of dollars.He walked around the car and opened the passenger door for Chloe. She stepped out onto the red carpet, looking incredibly proud. She wore a sparkling gold dress that shimmered und

Chapter 7: Gathering the Noose
Leo looked at Chloe one last time. Her face was twisted with ugly anger as she pointed her finger at him. He did not say a single word to her. He did not even look at the trembling Julian, who was still staring at his dropped phone on the floor.Leo simply turned around and walked away. He passed the two large hotel guards, who quickly stepped aside because they were too distracted by Julian’s sudden panic.Leo walked down the long, red carpeted hallway of the hotel. His steps were no longer the heavy, tired steps of a poor delivery driver. They were light, firm, and full of power. He took the elevator down to the ground floor and walked out into the bright morning sun.Instead of unlocking his old, rusty bicycle, Leo walked right past it. He walked toward the corner of the street where a simple, dark SUV with tinted windows was parked out of sight. It was an unmarked vehicle, looking totally normal from the outside so nobody would notice it.The moment Leo reached the car, the rear d
