When Katty heard Lena complimenting Joseph, she no longer felt any resentment. Instead, she felt proud. Katty moved closer to Joseph, kissed him on the cheek, and said, "Yeah, I also think Joseph is amazing. I’m so thankful I chose him over anyone else back then. If I hadn’t, I can’t imagine what my life would be like now." After those words, the tension between Katty and Lena eased. Katty then started sharing the story of how she and Joseph fell in love, making Lena laugh hysterically. Talking about the past, Katty found it really amusing in hindsight. She had never imagined that one day Joseph would turn out to be so charming. During the meal, all three of them behaved very politely. Even Lena, who was known for her lively personality, maintained proper manners. Although Katty didn’t know Lena as well as Joseph did, she could sense Lena’s natural charisma, making it easy for her to get along with people. However, Katty didn’t realize that only Joseph truly knew Lena’s real
Before the female secretary could run to open the office door, it suddenly flew open as Jordi kicked it in. "Mr. Huber, let him go!" Jordi shouted loudly. Jordi was once just one of the ignored sons in the Ajo Family, with no significant role in the family’s core matters. He was only accepted by the Ajo Family because of the Semi Group’s interests. Because of this, Jordi never expected any support or help from the Ajo Family. Recently, he realized he was caught in a complicated situation. With Koland in turmoil, there weren’t many places left that would still welcome him. Given his low status, he had no right to get involved in the middle or upper-class affairs of Koland. But the situation was changing fast, and nothing was certain. Jordi didn’t even fully understand what was happening in Koland recently. Even so, he still tried to evaluate the situation on his own. Thus, Jordi decided he needed to focus on his own business and stop relying on the Ajo Family or major entities
"Hey, you two! Please don't interrupt our work! We're really busy," said a female staff member, though her face looked a bit tense. Her tone was still friendly, as if she thought Joseph and Katty were just visitors. Lately, Light Entertainment had been a hot topic in Koland's online media. However, the public response to the company was mixed. Some praised it for its collaboration with Liza, while others remained skeptical of its reputation. In short, the Light Entertainment brand wasn't fully recognized by the public yet. Most people were just waiting to see the results of the Liza collaboration. Joseph and Katty hadn't expected to face this kind of situation in their own company. But they understood it could happen. As executives of Company G, they rarely appeared in front of the staff at Light Entertainment. So, it made sense that some employees didn’t know who they were. Joseph tried to speak politely, "We’re not here to cause any trouble." But the female staff member imme
Katty, who deeply trusted Jayna, tried to find an explanation. "Did Jayna go out to check the filming locations? Or has the filming already started there?" she asked curiously. "Sorry, Mr. Joseph and Mrs. Katty. I'll call Jayna right away. Is that okay?" Callista asked. Katty nodded before Joseph could answer. "Of course, go ahead and call her," she said. Callista quickly turned and headed to her office to make the phone call to Jayna. Meanwhile, Lula, a new staff member at Light Entertainment, looked a little awkward. Joseph noticed Lula’s confusion and reassured her. "Go ahead and continue your work. We’ll just take a look around for a bit," he said with a small smile. Lula felt relieved hearing those instructions and immediately went back to her tasks. Even though nothing major happened today, the situation made Lula a bit anxious. After all, facing two big bosses wasn’t easy, and only her professionalism kept her calm. Joseph and Katty then took a stroll around Light
"Mr. Joseph, I’ve brought Vocco and Huber’s secretary. So, what do you plan to do with them?" Jordi’s words carried a hidden meaning that only Joseph could understand. "You’ve done well. Now, I’ll entrust you with one more task," Joseph said coldly. At that moment, both Jordi and Joseph showcased their acting skills, even rivaling top-tier actors. Every word they spoke was true, yet layered with deeper meaning. Their conversation felt like code, leaving Vocco and Huber’s secretary baffled. In Vocco’s mind, Joseph was the mastermind behind everything. He felt anxious, convinced that his life could end at any moment. Joseph’s cold voice broke the silence. Jordi was startled for a moment, then his expression turned serious. "Please, Mr. Joseph, just give the order." Jordi’s actions seemed misleading, as if he were one of Joseph’s lackeys. "Kill them," Joseph said emotionlessly, shocking everyone in the room. Vocco immediately burst into tears and cried out. “Mr. Joseph, what do
It was only three hours later that Joseph realized that Mr. Suro's murder was a setup to frame him. Joseph continued moving forward, he realized that Mr. Suro was not just a personal threat but part of a much larger game of power. In the end, Joseph knew that the key to victory lay in the courage to endure and strike at the right moment. He was well aware that EGC would not leave him stranded in the midst of this game—they would continue supporting him, as long as he held his ground firmly. This time, EGC did not contact Joseph directly but conveyed crucial information to him. That night, a room at the Koland Police Department in the city of Sonya was blown apart with immense force, causing severe damage that nearly triggered a minor earthquake. The victims and casualties were key members of Mr. Suro's inner circle, yet Mr. Suro did not respond. Instead, he withdrew from the public eye, becoming reclusive and neglected by his subordinates. Joseph didn’t fully understand EGC
Jonathan’s time at the Koland Police Headquarters was used to coordinate a larger operation. This operation needed to be framed as Dragon Bo's revenge, rather than the work of EGC or any other power. Recently, Dragon Bo’s presence had almost vanished. No one knew how many of their members were still active, let alone where they were hiding. The sudden disappearance of Dragon Bo wasn’t convincing to anyone. All parties knew that with their destructive force, Dragon Bo could create chaos at any moment. In this situation, P5—the alliance of the world’s leading powers—took a firm stance. The Eurosia East Weapons Group, in the interest of safeguarding its assets, pressured Dragon Bo. Meanwhile, M North Weapons Group unexpectedly adopted an aggressive approach by closely monitoring Dragon Bo’s actions and even urging Koland to take the initiative in stopping their expansion. These developments didn’t directly affect Joseph at the moment, but EGC’s backing had placed him into the globa
Because we’re already here, it means Company G is ready to discuss matters with the Euro of West Consortium. But I need an explanation about what happened at Frantastica Restaurant. That’s only fair, right?” Joseph said firmly. “Of course. That’s exactly why I wanted to meet with you, Mr. Joseph,” Vanilla responded seriously. Vanilla then explained that, as a core member of the Euro of West Consortium, she was responsible for reviewing industry performance in their region. The incident at the restaurant involving Kamdy became a burden that Vanilla had to address. “We’ve submitted a full report to the consortium board,” she said. “But our main concern is how Company G—and you, personally—view this situation.” Joseph remained calm, understanding that maintaining a good relationship with the Euro of West Consortium was a wise decision. After all, keeping balance in business was part of his strategy. Finally, Joseph began the conversation with a thoughtful tone. “In that case, i
