2026-01-09 21:39:32'What? The Zikkers' Clan? So the mayor was right.' Novan thought as he suddenly felt his stomach rumble.
"We need to be one of the enlisted companies under this consortium." Grandma Rocks cut his thoughts with her words.
" The Zikkers' Clan consortium is the biggest in this continent. No company under the Zikkers' Clan consortium has ever gone bankrupt or lacked in any way." Grandma Rocks continued, looking into everybody's eyes.
"Who is the owner of this trillion dollar consortium?" Lilian asked
"Yeah, how come we don't know who the person is?." Charlie added
"That is the main reason why I called you all here for a meeting, it was said that the previous owner is no longer in charge again and a new CEO will be introduced soonest." Grandma Rocks informed them.
Novan was finding it hard to sit still at this point. They were talking about his father's consortium that was now his.
" I want us all to get acquainted with the Zikkers' Clan consortium, get close to the CEO, I don't mind a personal relationship. Then get our company to be under the Zikkers' Clan consortium." Grandma Rocks finished.
The gathering was quiet as everyone in the Rocks family was thinking of ways to make Grandma Rocks' request come true.
"Alexia, you have looks no man can resist. Do this for us, with your looks I'm sure the consortium's CEO wouldn't be able to refuse your request. " Grandma Rocks said with certainty.
"Yes"
"Yes"
"I'm sure."
Everyone on the table agreed.
Meanwhile Novan was already boiling as he sat down on the wooden chair beside the door.
'How could they tell a married woman to seduce another man because of money?' He thought as anger wielded in his heart.
'I'll show them who has the money, I will go on this trip with the mayor and become the consortium's CEO.' Novan was upset
"Grandma Rocks, I'll be going on a trip tomorrow." Novan said with innocence.
"Haha, this joker can't seize to amuse me." Charlie sneered
"What for?" Grandma Rocks asked, looking disgusted.
"I think I have half siblings in Italy. I heard that my Dad had a family there." He answered politely
"You might as well never come back again. So that Alexia can have better chances with better men." Grandma Rocks replied.
The long awaited morning was here and Novan couldn't wait to exit the Rocks family compound. He bade his wife and sister farewell and headed for the Grand city park where the mayor was waiting for him in a Black Rolls Royce sports car.
The Rolls Royce exuded luxury and quality. The interior was neatly designed and properly arranged.
There was a box of snacks and really expensive wines. Novan couldn't remember when he last had a really expensive wine.
"I trust you slept well Mr Novan." The mayor asked as he continued driving.
"I did mayor, how long is the trip going to take?" Novan asked
"Oh, by plane it will take us about an hour and forty five minutes and by car it will take us about 9 hours. " the mayor replied, his gaze still fixated on the road.
"Let's go by road. I want to see some of the companies under my father's consortium." Novan said and the mayor replied respectfully.
"Yes sir."
"Why didn't you come for me all this while?" Novan asked the mayor while maintaining a serious look.
"I didn't know where you were sir. I didn't know about the arranged marriage between you and the Rocks family. " the mayor spoke with sincerity in his voice.
It was possible for the mayor not to have known as the marriage arrangement was between his parents and the Rocks. It was supposed to be announced at his father's 47th birthday before the tragedy happened.
"Your Dad left me in Italy where we went to start the process of taking this international company under us as one of the companies listed under our consortium. He was to report back to Italy so we could round up the process but I didn't hear from him, his numbers were not reachable. I called the office and they informed me about the tragic death." The speed at which the mayor drove the car reduced at this point.
"I asked after you and I was told that your uncle had taken over the house and the company. You left with your sister one of the nights and no one had seen you since then.
I was devastated when I heard the news, I told everyone I knew to be on the lookout for you but nobody saw you around. After a year, I decided to change the approach and started searching in hospitals both inside and outside Beacon Hills if I could find Olivia." The mayor explained, the pain in his heart felt like it was opened anew.
"I finally found her name in Livingston hospital. I was so glad when the news reached me. I requested that when next she came around, the hospital shouldn't hesitate to contact me. I didn't hear from them for months until finally, that fateful day when I got the call from the hospital. I knew God had answered my prayers because I knew you were going to be there too." The mayor finished these words and let out a smile.
Novan was speechless, and touched by the mayor's explanation, his face gave out a weak smile.
He threw his hand to where the box of snacks was when his stomach began to rumble. He opened the box and saw an array of yummy looking cookies, cakes and donuts, expensive wines, juices and milk drinks. He also saw some high-priced chocolate bars and peanuts.
"I see you are hungry sir, the snacks and drinks were carefully selected for your satisfaction. Please enjoy. " the mayor told him as he noticed the way Novan looked at the snacks with aspiration. He wanted to eat them up as fast as he could.
Novan urged the mayor as he opened the pack of cookies "Join me."
The snacks were worth their prices as every ingredient used in the product could be tasted. The cookies melted in Novan's mouth and left him with a milky and buttery feel. It was a buttermilk cookie.
The cakes and donuts were so delicious and sweet. The duo ate and drank meticulously.
"This is one of the companies under your consortium sir." The mayor pointed at Tiger Computers inc.
"Tiger computers?" Novan asked surprised
Tiger computers was one of the richest companies in Beacon Hills. They have a wide range of products and services ranging from the manufacturing of Computers and ICT gadgets, to the repairs of the faulty products to the provision of home services for anyone who wants an installation or servicing of the gadgets.
This was the company that Richard Wane worked in as the repairs manager.
"I wonder how much revenue they make." Novan wondered
He brought out his old model phone but couldn't do anything with it. It was a 2g phone.
He had sold his iphone 12 to purchase some medications for his sister and resorted to using a 2g button phone.
"Sir, here is the list of the companies under your consortium, their annual revenue and our share percentage in each of the companies listed."the mayor said as he handed the document over to him
In the document Novan saw several top companies in the world. With the least company ranked 50th in the world.
He didn't hesitate to search for Tiger Computers inc. And his jaw dropped. Their yearly revenue was up to $600billion and they were ranked the 18th in the world.

Hearing the experience of the original Nan Hua from Xiao Yun's mouth, there was a strange feeling inside her heart.It was not her.But why did she felt as if her heart was pounding with dull pain?Was it the memory from this body before she came over?Nan Hua didn't know. The memory she had from the original Nan Hua was exceptionally rare and in pieces. Even with the poison that Old Master Nan asked her to drink to increase her immunity, it only helped to recover very small part of the original Nan Hua's memory.Without saying anything, Nan Hua silently slipped away and returned to her own quarter to rest.…Morning.Several people came to Nan Shu Cheng's Residence and shouted from early morning.

Nan Luo took a deep breath and unknowingly tears started to fall from the corner of his eyes. He really couldn't believe that when he was happy and still not understand anything, his twin sister experienced a completely different experience."Young Master, this might be presumptuous of me, but have you ever experienced her pain?" Xiao Yun asked carefully.Experienced?Thinking about his past, Nan Luo sometimes would feel uncomfortable when studying as if there was something disturbing him. However, such feeling was very rare and even when he did, he never cared too much about it.The only time when he truly felt the pain was when he searched for his sister on that fateful day. He felt his head hurt a bit out of nowhere and when he saw the wound on his twin sister, he understood right away that the one who experienced pain was not him.But his twin sister."I think I did, but I never pay any attention." Nan Luo turned to look to the side, combing his memory of strange pain that might b

Hearing that, they were stunned. The first half of the sentence was something that they also knew, so they didn't think it was strange. However, the second half of the sentence felt a bit strange."Grandfather, what do you mean?" Nan Luo asked.Old Master Nan arched his eyebrows. "You'll know soon. For now, focus on the next training.""Yes.."The three of them had no other choice but to grit their teeth for the training that was about to come.Soon, the three of them sprawled on the ground. They no longer had any strength left to even sit up as they could only lie helplessly. Sounds of heavy breathing filled the field while Old Master Nan was still humming.Feng Ao Si nearly vomited when he saw the huge difference between him and his grandfather. "Grandpa, how is it possible for you to be able to stand properly even when we're already in this state?""That's because you're weak."Feng Ao Si: "…"Old Master Nan laughed out loud. "Train hard. If you want to be strong, you have to be ab

that bowl in his direction.Screams and yell filled the place as he argued with his father.It took him everything in order to be able to calm down and not kill his own father in front of him. Even though Nan Hua was already in that condition, he could remember she tugged his sleeve, asking him not to.His heart ached so much when he recalled that scene.The commotion was so big and it even spread outside. Later on, Nan Luo also sneaked out and ignored the wounds he suffered because of that. He only cared about getting out of this cage and found his grandfather.They got out of that hell.But it was already too late.His cheerful and bright sister had disappeared.His kind and warm mother was gone.His world fell apart.Since that time, Nan Hua never pretended to be alright in front of him anymore.

"Yes!"Xiao Yun looked energized. Even though she was still grieving over her parents, but she felt relieved that Nan Hua would not push her away. Internally, she vowed to herself that she would make sure that nothing bad would happen to her miss.Nan Luo watched from the side then turned to look at Xiao Yan, who was rather impassive. "Do you want to stay behind too?""I'll accompany my sister if you allow it, Young Master."From the tone that Xiao Yan used, Nan Luo could see that he really didn't care much about his parents. It was to the point that his reason to stay behind would be to care for his sister rather than to take care of his parents."You don't seem to have good memories of this city."Xiao Yan's eyes flickered. "I don't."Who would have good memory when all he could remember was the beating that his parents gave him? After all of that, they simply sold him off along with his little sister in order for them to be able to live.For them, children were only tools for them

Nan Hua's eyes lowered. It seemed that she had to be prepared for other options in the future. The people in this era were also cruel and treated lives of servant worse than them like ants.If she wanted to be able to one step ahead of them, she had to make sure that she would not fall for their trap."Young Miss," Hou Liang called from the back. "These are all the people around this area who tried to escape.""Interrogate them."The soldiers who were in charge of this area would come sooner or later. It would be hard for them to know any information from these people if they handed them to the soldiers and let them handled the case. It would be better for them to interrogate them faster."Yes, Miss."Thud!At the front, Xiao Yun was staying right in front of her parents' house. Tears streamed out of the corner of her eyes. She might have been sold by her parents when she was young, but they were still her parents who used to care for her.Beside her, Xiao Yan walked and patted his yo
