Jason got to the location of Winston Group's Alderfall Branch.
He was admiring everything when a woman walked up to him.
"Good morning Sir. You must be Mr. Winston, it's nice to finally meet you," She greeted as she took a bow, her voice firm and polite.
"And you are?" He asked.
She straightened up. "I am Miss Lisa Karl, Alderfall Branch's Manager," She replied with a smile on her face.
"Oh, that's great. I would love to talk about a few things relating to the Branch's business with you," He said to her.
"Sure, Sir. I'll take you to the office," She replied.
They walked towards the elevator and got in. Lisa couldn't help but sneak a few peeks at Jason.
"Do you mind telling me why you keep looking at me?" He asked without turning to her.
Her face flushed with embarrassment.
"I'm sorry, Sir, it's just that I can't help but wonder how you were able to form the Winston Group because you are so young. I mean, I've seen pictures of you before, but you look a lot younger in person," She replied.
Hearing those words, Jason’s thoughts ran back to the past. He remembered how he fought and created the legendary mercenaries at a very young age. Thoughts of the things he had to do came flooding in. The people he had to end and the bodies that lay wasted.
He got tired of all the bloodshed, so he decided to settle down. Though he dispersed the mercenaries, a few of his loyal people refused to leave.
Having them by his side and the money he had made, he was able to create Winston Group. With a lot of investments and employing experienced people, Winston Group was able to grow to the peak where it is now, being one of the best companies in the world.
But he decided to return to his hometown, Alderfall. He wanted to marry his fiance and finally settle down and build a family.
"Thanks for the compliment," Jason said to Lisa, pulling himself back to the present.
The elevator opened, and they headed for the office.
"I'm sorry Sir, I wasn't informed on time about your visit, but I have put up a team to get an office prepared for you. For now, you can make use of mine," she explained.
Jason nodded and sat on the Sofa.
"So tell me about your investment in Richardson Group?" Jason asked immediately.
"Well, Sir, I am planning on investing One Billion Dollars into the company," She replied.
He nodded.
"Okay. But I need you to increase it to Five Billion. Got it?" He said in a firm tone.
Lisa was confused. She couldn't understand why Jason would want to invest more in such a small company. But she had no choice but to nod her head in agreement.
"Okay, Sir, I understand," She replied.
"Also, Miss Karl, please keep my identity a secret," He instructed.
She nodded again. "Yes, Sir, I understand."
***
Jason returned to the Gates home. The moment he got into the house, he was greeted by the stench of alcohol and burnt cigarettes.
Ignoring them, he headed for the stairs, but he was held back by Eloise.
She wrapped her hands around his neck.
"Where do you think you are going to, dear husband," She whispered, trying to sound seductive.
Jason let out a low chuckle.
"Dear wife, don't tell me you are trying to play another rape scene in front of everyone," He said, a menacing smile on his face.
Hearing that, Eloise got pissed. She tried to hit Jason, but he caught her by the wrist.
Lloyd, who had been watching the whole scene, rushed in like a knight in shining armor.
"How dare you!" He yelled as he tried to hit Jason. But in the blink of an eye, Jason pulled Eloise away, revealing an opening where he kicked Lloyd.
"F**k!" He gasped in pain as he held his lower abdomen. He was furious. He was about to go for another attack when his phone rang.
Pulling the phone out of his jacket, his eyes widened as he saw who it was.
"Just you hold on, Jason. When I get back, I'm going to beat the hell out of you," He threatened as he walked away.
Jason frowned. He walked past Eloise, who had a surprised look on her face, and headed for his room.
He was about to unbutton his shirt when a call came in.
"Hello, Sir, this is Miss Karl," Lisa said. "I have news on what we discussed earlier."
"Okay, so go ahead," He urged her.
"Well, Sir, Mr. Richardson agreed to me increasing the investment," She said.
Jason smiled. "That's great news."
"Yes, Sir, and I found out something else," She added.
"What's that?" He asked with a brow raised.
"I found out that Richardson Group is going bankrupt, that's why they need our investment. Not just ours, but also the Gates Group too." She said.
"Okay, Miss Karl. Thanks for the information. Keep me updated on everything okay?" He said and ended the call.
He walked into the bathroom, thinking about what Lisa said.
Staring at the mirror, he takes off his shirt. His eyes landed on the birthmark shaped as a present moon on his chest. He has had it ever since he was born.
He remembered the mysterious energy that coursed through his body, spreading through his veins and muscles whenever he was in danger.
He touched the birthmark. It's been a while since he felt that energy.
He turned on the shower. The water streamed over him, easing the stress caused by the Gates family.
When he was done, he stepped out of the bathroom.
He heard a beep from his phone. There was a message from Lisa.
"Mr. Ric
hardson just came by now. The contract has been signed."
Jason smirked. Everything was going according to his plan.

Chapter Twenty-Five: Being out of place
With a haughty grin, the man introduced himself, “Oscar Evans. I don’t think you know me, do you? Well, I'm not surprised. It's obvious you don't belong here.” His eyes swept over Jason dismissively before he added, “I see Ms. Karl has gone out of her way to bring along her driver. Maybe it’s best if you left before you embarrass yourself.” His tone dripped with condescension, and Jason felt a flicker of irritation.Before Jason could respond, Oscar continued, clearly enjoying himself. “This venue is strictly for the upper echelon. You’re out of your league, friend,” he said, sneering. “A driver like you couldn’t possibly appreciate any of this.”Jason clenched his jaw, determined to hold back his frustration, though it was becoming increasingly difficult. Though he was dressed in casual clothes, he wasn’t here to draw attention or start a confrontation, but Oscar’s smug attitude was testing his patience.Just as Oscar finished his tirade, a muscular man entered the hall, drawing atte
Chapter Twenty-Four: Shocked by his power
Lisa paused, watching the expression on Jason's face. He still had an expressionless look on his face, so Lisa couldn't tell if he was okay with her request or not. She bit her lips as she thought of what to do next. “I have a feeling you don't like stuff like banquets and dinner parties, but... I would... I would still love for you to come with me," She stammered trying to convince him. "I just… I don’t feel comfortable going alone, especially after everything that’s happened.” “Lisa, I think you might be overthinking this. Nothing is going to happen to you,” Jason replied gently, though he could see the worry etched on her face. Lisa sighed. "I know, but..." She paused. She didn't know what else to say to him. Jason kept his eyes on her. He didn't want to budge, but her pleading expression softened his resolve, and he couldn’t bring himself to turn her down. Finally, he nodded. “Alright, if it’ll make you feel safer, I’ll go.” Lisa's face lit up with relief. “Thank you, Jas
Chapter Twenty-Three : You have to pay for it
"Well, I would love to tell you why I am here, but it is not a matter best discussed at night on a porch," the man said, his tone, though polite, still carrying a touch of pride in it. "So tell me, Mr. White, can I come in? Or should I say, Mr. Winston?"Jason watched the man carefully, remembering Stark’s words about a powerful ally called the Owens family. There was no mistaking it now, Jason thought; the man in front of him was part of that hidden network."Yes, you can," Jason replied, a smile on his face as he stepped aside, gesturing for Xavier to come in. "And I prefer Mr. White."Xavier let out a low chuckle. He walked in and settled himself on the couch with a measured almost unsettling calm. Jason, on the other hand, sat beside Lisa on another couch, keeping her within reach, his posture protective. He took out a box from his pocket, lit a cigarette, and took a slow drag from it, his gaze hard and unblinking. “So, what brings you here?” he asked in an even tone, though his
Chapter Twenty-Two: Who is he?
Jason looked down at Lloyd, his expression hardening with contempt, and then he scoffed. Without a word, he delivered a swift, brutal kick to Lloyd's chest, sending him sprawling backward. Lloyd hit the ground with a thud, his body crumpling as he slipped into unconsciousness, a hollow silence following his collapse.A few of the special forces men started for Jason to try to hold him back, but Robin raised an arm, signaling them not to interfere.Jason, barely paying attention to them, slightly glanced at Lloyd before turning his focus to Stark, who quivered, his earlier swagger was now scattered. He moved with a quiet intensity as he approached Stark, his gaze cold and unyielding. Stark’s face paled as Jason loomed over him, his eyes blazing with a silent fury.“Why did you go after Lisa?” Jason demanded, his voice low but filled with menace. The tension in the room was thick, and everyone could feel the weight of his words.Stark stammered, his confidence utterly shattered. “It...
Chapter Twenty-One: I didn't mean to!
"If your friend doesn't show up, who is going to save you then?" Stark asked with a smirk on his face.Jason gave a calm, almost playful smile, brushing off the tense atmosphere. “If backup doesn’t show up soon," he said with an air of unbothered confidence. "I’ll just have to handle this myself,” he remarked, his words carrying a subtle but unmistakable warning.Stark chuckled. He felt no concern. His expression remained one of absolute authority. Besides, he was the notorious leader of Alderfall’s most feared gang.As a man who had ruthlessly crushed all opposition in his rise to power, he had grown used to instilling fear. His previous rival had been eliminated discreetly by his powerful backer, leaving Stark in control of the area without any real opposition. For Stark, this situation with Jason and the Winston Consortium was a chance to send a clear message to them and everyone else, which is that he was the one who held control in Alderfall, and anyone challenging him would eith
Chapter Twenty: Never heard of them
Lloyd was visibly startled as he stared at Jason. Then a mocking grin spread across his face as he tried to stifle his disbelief. “You have no idea what you’re dealing with,” He said, sneering at Jason. “Do you even know who’s backing me here? This is the head of the Viper Gang and his gang members!” He yelled as he pointed towards Stark, his eyes glinting with satisfaction as if he expected Jason to recoil. But Jason didn't flinch. His calm response was just a simple shrug. “Never heard of them,” he replied smoothly, his expression unruffled. The dismissiveness in his tone struck a nerve, and Lloyd’s face twisted in frustration. Beside him, Stark, the bald leader of the gang, raised an eyebrow, a faint smirk tugging at the corners of his lips. Though it sounded like a lie, Jason was telling the truth. He had never heard of a Viper Gang before. “Oh, so you’ve got a sense of humor?” Stark retorted, folding his arms. “Don’t worry. By the end of today, you’ll know exactly who
