"Who does he think he is?" Lady Carter smashed her cup on the floor angrily.
Chloe had arrived back in the Carter's mansion and hell broke loose after she relayed the information to the entire Carter family.Lady Carter especially, had been smashing everything she could get her hands on."My precious daughter will not work as a slave for that boy who was once a nobody!" Lady Carter further announced and gritted her teeth as she looked at her family's shocked expression."But mom! If Chloe doesn't agree to this then the Carter's group will become irrelevant and useless in the industry" Avery immediately retorted, she also didn't want her sister to work as a slave for her ex-brother-in-law, but she just had to make Lady Carter see the benefits from her point of view."Shut up Avery! We are the Carter's and we do not work for people…people work for us!" Emily hissed loudly at Avery, even though she had always been jealous of Chloe, she didn't want people to call her the sister of a slave, especially when the person in question was Authur Maxwell.Chloe just listened to their conversation in silence, how would she tell them that she had already agreed to be Authur's slave?She was lost deep in thought, she leaned back on the sofa and she could immediately feel her eyes well up with tears."She must do it or the Carter family will be as poor as a church rat!""We don't need that bloody bastard to make our company relevant!"Just as they were arguing a maid stormed into the room with a letter in her hand, she bowed her head before saying, "Lady Carter, the Omega company just dropped this letter for the Carter's group."Lady Carter collected the letter from the maid's hand and waived her off disdainfully.After Lady Carter saw that the maid was out of sight, her expression softened a little and she wondered why the Omega company dropped a letter for the Carter's group.The Omega company was one of the best companies in the country, it had a great reputation, and a lot of companies dreamt of working with them.Even the Carter's group was no match for them and the only reason why the Omega company partnered with the Carter's group was because of his friendship with Lord Carter, The owner of Omega company was Lord Carter's best friend, and even though Lord Carter was dead, they still partnered with the Carter's group."Who needs the Emerald Isle company anyway when we already have Omega company? I am sure they have something important to tell us and that is why they delivered a letter to us at home, maybe they want to increase our profit share." Lady Carter admired the letter in her hands, " here open it and read it to me." Lady Carter hummed as she thought of what good news the Omega company had for them.Emily collected the paper from Lady Carter and opened it, her face turned white as she read the content of the letter."What's wrong?" Seeing that, Chloe and the other family members stood up from their seats and went to meet Emily.Lady Carter snashed the letter and read it aloud, "What? Contract terminated? How dare they do this to us!"Chloe and Avery gaped in extreme shock, if the Omega company stopped partnering with them then no companies would want to work with them anymore.Soon their cellphones started beeping and Chloe checked her phone to see what was wrong."This is impossible! It's all over the news!" Chloe was amidst tears, the Omega company had publicly announced on the media that they would no longer be working with their company again.Soon all other companies started talking about their plans to terminate their contract with them.Lady Carter could feel her blood boil in anger, she dialed a number and waited for the receiver to pick up the call, before she said bitterly, " I hope this isn't real Mr. James Omega, I just received your letter and I believe you must be playing a prank on us haha""I am Mr. Omega and whatever I say is final, the Carter's group has stepped on the wrong toe and I do not want to be punished for being with the Carter's group." The voice was loud and the person sounded angry from the phone"We are friends with everyone, this is all a minor misunderstanding, why don't we have a peaceful conversation somewhere and discuss this…rather than taking it to the media." Lady Carter tried her best to convince the owner of Omega Company."Enough! The Carter's company has gotten me nothing over the years, you should thank your God's that I didn't do this sooner." The voice sounded a bit low this time."Mr Omega, please…" Lady Carter gave a long pause before she continued, "Have a rethink, we will…"Beep!The call ended even before she could say the next word.Emily, Chloe, and Avery kept quiet, lady Carter had never begged anyone but she did it to save her reputation and the company.Chloe thought maybe it was the right time to tell Lady Carter, so she cleared her throat and said, "Mom! I have agreed to work as a slave, I will do it for our family! Even though I would work for that filthy bastard!"Lady Carter just looked at Chloe and said no words, her ex-son-in-low whom she once hated was now above her.How could she let her precious daughter work for her ex-son-in-low?What would people say? Everyone would mock them and laugh at them.Even her friends would laugh at her!Lady Carter's knees fell to the ground and Chloe rushed to comfort her with a light pat on her back."It's okay Mom! I will do it!" Chloe gave her a sad smile.Avery smirked, she was glad that Chloe agreed to it.

Riddles
Authur briefly glanced at the paper. His earlier smirk remained even though he noticed how strange the questions were.The F-Force was known for being strong, brutal, and powerful, yet the mind test before him seemed like something only someone with an extremely high IQ could solve. He had expected physical trials, tests of endurance or combat ability, but this was different.Still, he didn’t waste time thinking about it. He had only one minute to answer the questions, so he pushed everything else to the back of his mind and focused on reading the words in his head.“Crack the code, unlock the truth. But beware, for the truth is not always what it seems.”Brad, who was standing off to the side, kept a keen eye on Authur. He was waiting and hoping to see some sign of hesitation or frustration. Most recruits would have furrowed their brows. He had witnessed most hold their shaky pens slightly as they tried to rush through the questions.But Authur? He looked calm, almost amused.If Br
Chapter 71: Test day
Authur finally got home and stepped into his apartment, dropping his keys onto the table with a dull clink. Without a second thought, he kicked off his shoes and walked towards the bathroom.The shower was the only thing on his mind at that moment. He turned the water to a warm setting and stood under it.He let it cascade over him for a while.The events of the day lingered in his thoughts, but he was too tired to dwell on them. When he finally stepped out, he wrapped a towel around his waist and shuffled to his room before falling onto the bed. He didn’t even bother changing into pajamas or eating dinner. Within moments, sleep took over.The next morning, sunlight streamed through the curtains, softly lighting the room. Authur blinked awake slowly, groaning under his breath as he sat up. His body felt stiff, though the rest had helped a little. He rubbed his eyes, then stretched, a small yawn escaping his lips.He swung his legs off the bed, sitting on its edge as his mind clea
Chapter 70: Authur meets brad
Authur sat down so casually that everyone began to think he wasn't a human.Even the highest level of martial artists couldn't take down a man within a twinkle of an eye."The battle ends now!""The battle ends today!" Lord Byron's men shouted due to excitement, they began to dance and bow down to Authur.Roshan was starting to regain his consciousness, he stared at Authur with fear as his men carried him past Authur.Never would he have thought that an ordinary man like Authur would do such a thing to him.A chill ran down his spine when he met Authur's gaze and he quickly looked away.Authur saw them walk away, a figure blocked his line of view and he looked up to check who the person was."Lilly," Authur said in a faint voice.He wondered why her mouth was hung wide open.Authur became worried and thought she was sick again, so he stood up to check her pulse.There was nothing wrong with Lilly and so he released the breath he was holding."Master Authur, you are a great martial ar
One move is all it takes
"Master Authur, you...you j_" Lilly opened her mouth to speak but Authur placed his hand on her lips just in time."Shh, your body is recovering." Authur said and then stopped transferring his Ki to her body.She was already starting to look strong and he didn't want to look too suspicious."Oh, the fight! We need to get back before it's too late." Lilly said as she suddenly sprang up from the bed.If they didn't get there on time then Roshan and his people might try to play some dirty tricks."You should rest a little, your body needs time to recover." Authur said with a soft comforting look.They hadn't been in the room for much time and Roshan couldn't do anything outrageous or the duel would be canceled.But knowing who Roshan was and the dirty tricks he could pull on lord Byron, Authur thought it would be best to get back to the fighting arena."Are you strong enough to walk?" Authur asked after a moment of silence and she nodded her head slowly.After seeing that she was eager
Chapter sixty-eight: She cheated
"We have a clear winner! Miss Lily is the winner of the duel" The man shouted again and walked towards Lilly, raising her hands up in a victorious manner.Lilly still couldn't believe what had just happened, her mind struggled to process it.She had won even after losing hope, even when she was on the brink of giving up.She glanced at the sword, eyeing it like it was some type of savior.There was something different about the sword and she knew it.It was just as mysterious as her boss, now she respected him more. It was obvious that Authur knew things that an ordinary human didn't know."That can't be possible," Roshan stood up, his face distorted as he stared at Lilly, pointing an accusing finger at her. "She must have cheated, I caught her cheating. Arrest her for cheating in a serious situation, we can't accept any form of cheating."Lord Bryon whose face was all smiles frowned at his brother's display of stupidity.It was obvious that the young lady had won fair and square and
Chapter sixty-seven: Save me a spot in hell
Rodrigo was livid, his face red with anger as he watched Lilly taunt him like a pathetic child. He felt his temper boiling over, the rage within him threatening to spill out at any moment.Fury consumed him, and Rodrigo rushed forward, his dagger raised in a deadly arc as he swung it toward Lilly.But to Rodrigo's dismay, Lilly was quick on her feet and darted out of the way, her leg lashing out in a powerful kick. She hoped to knock him off his feet, but he remained steadfast.Rodrigo only grew more enraged, seething at the trickery and taunting of his opponent. He was sick of the games, and he was ready to end it all.He was determined to win, to emerge victorious and leave this fight as the only one standing. He would do whatever it took to achieve that goal, no matter the cost."A waste of beauty, you will pay for your insolence!" Rodrigo roared, throwing two daggers in quick succession at Lilly. His fury gave him strength.The daggers flew through the air, spinning with such speed
