2026-01-09 21:40:02The staff bowed in respect as the duo walked in, lust could be seen in the eyes of the female staff as they looked at Novan with desire.
Novan wasn't used to this treatment so he just kept a straight face and unwavering forward glance.
The reaction of the people and staff at the reception area didn't give Novan the opportunity to admire the ambiance of the 5 star hotel.
The reception hall was illuminated with beautiful lights, and a huge chandelier hung in the centre of the hall. Beautiful sofas were arranged carefully within the bounds of the hall.
The ACs were on, giving a really chilled welcome.
The duo stepped out of the elevator and proceeded to the rooftop where their clients awaited them
They exchanged pleasantries and it was time to sign the agreement documents.
Novan went through the documents and caught sight of their client's net worth, $900 billion he almost exclaimed.
He signed and they shook hands.
This was a big win for the consortium, his dad was on this quest before he met his demise. This Italian company was in most parts of the world. And this meant that Zikkers' Clan consortium was officially international.
"How much is our monthly revenue?" Novan asked as they settled into the limousine
"I wouldn't know sir, we don't check that anymore. " William answered honestly
How could they keep up when their profits keep doubling and tripling within hours
"I need a change of clothes William, I wouldn't like to meet my in-laws dressed like this. Ordinary comfy clothes would suffice. " Novan said coldly
"Got it sir." William replied
****
The clothes fit so well and felt comfortable, this was perfect for his cover up plan.
"I need a few more of this." Novan ordered
More clothes were packed and Novan decided to pick some pretty outfits for his wife and sister too but not enough to raise their suspicion.
"I do not want to disclose my identity to them, remember you are my distant uncle" Novan reminded William as they stepped into the apartment where his in-laws awaited them.
"What are you doing in Novan, Italy?" Robert asked amazed
"My distant uncle here told me that there was a probability that my dad had another family here during his days in Italy." Novan explained
"So, have you found them?" Robert asked inquisitively
"Yes but they're not my father's family. It's just a family he assisted while he was here so people thought they were his family." Novan finished and settled down.
Robert was surprised to see Novan in Italy as he heard that he was poor but this explanation cleared his doubts. Italy was a place where business tycoons came to settle deals and make more investments; there was no way Novan came for investment purposes, He didn't even have a job.
'Novan was still poor, he just came to look for his so-called half siblings.' Robert thought with a slight frown on his face.
"How's our daughter doing?" Alexia's mom asked looking concerned
"She's with Grandma Rocks and my sister helps keep her company too." Novan replied with a slight smile.
Ever since Robert discovered that his daughter had gotten married to a poor man, he decided to work out a way for himself and his daughter.
He had planned to have his own mining industry and also have outlets where he will sell different types of gold items.
"I trust you are well sir Robert?" Novan asked
'What can he possibly do in this wretched state?How could a live-in-son-in-law possibly help me?' Robert's face was shaped into a frown.
"You wouldn't understand even if I explain." Robert replied with a deeper frown.
He seemed to be lost in thoughts.
He had heard that Novan was a live-in-son-in-law to his family and he felt disappointed in himself for not being wealthy enough to provide for his daughter.
****
"Can you look up Robert for me?" Novan requested as they walked out of the apartment
"I want to know everything." Novan added
"Got it sir." William answered
The duo went back to their hotel suites and Novan was greeted with the waiters who brought an array of some of the best Italian dishes which included Ossobuco which is an elaborate Italian dish that involves the meat to be cooked slowly for about 3 hours which will enable the meat to soak all its juice and flavours. Lasagna, Fettuccine creamy pasta, pizza, Truffles, Focaccia and white wine.
Novan started with the Focaccia and soon enough he was full. This was the best meal he has had ever since he got married.
After a sumptuous feast, Novan took a nap but was woken by William.
"Come in William. " he called with somnolent
"Mr Robert is near bankrupt, his plan was to work in the mining industry where he learnt to mine so he could start up his own industry and keep up with expenses. However, his request was declined and now he's left with nothing. His share percentage in the Rocks family business is 15% and with the way the business is barely surviving, he makes nothing of it." William explained without waiting for another word from Novan
"So that was the reason for his long face?" Novan asked rhetorically
"What company is that?" Novan inquired as he touched his beard with his fingers
"It's the Aurum Resource Group sir, we have over 50% shares there." William replied by handing over an iPad to Novan with the group's details.
Without any further ado, Novan instructed.
"Tell them that the CEO of the consortium said that the highest position available should be given to Mr Robert and this should take effect immediately. "
"Got it sir" William acknowledged with a bow.
"One more thing." Novan added and William listened with rapt attention
"I am Mr Anonymous. Do not expose my identity as the CEO of the Zikkers' Clan consortium. Rearrange my office, let there be blinds behind every window and let my table be shifted from the centre of the office to the side of the office preferably behind the door, also make a secret entrance for me to go into my office from the kitchen downstairs and lastly, make a public announcement in Beacon Hills that the consortium will be investing $200billion dollars in engineering and building companies. That will be all for now" Novan signalled with his hands.
Novan had a gruntled stay and now, it was time to go back home.
Before they left, William gave him a Gold card with a capital N on it and told him that he needed some change.
Novan asked how much was in the card and William told him that it was the sum of $20 billion.
$20billion as change? This consortium was surely a big one.
William also gave Novan a key to his office and a document containing all the names, job positions and monthly wage of all the staff in every of the companies listed under the consortium.
'Mm mm let's see who controls the money and power now' Novan smirked
They went by land and Novan requested that he be dropped at the Grand city hall. He didn't want to arouse suspicion of any kind.

Chapter 149
Nan Hua looked at her grandfather. She knew that he wanted to know her plan, but if she told him, she might need to explain more things that shouldn't be said. How could she possibly say to him that she was not his granddaughter but instead someone from the future?She had already treated herself as Nan Hua.Every single day that passed for the past year had made her contemplated whether she should tell him or not. But in the end, she didn't. The entire concept of transmigration itself was strange.Not to mention…Her servants didn't even notice the difference of her minor habits. It was strange considering that Xiao Yun, Mu Yan, and previously Bai Yin were close to her. No matter how good she was at acting, it was impossible for her to know the minor and small unconscious habits of the original Nan Hua.Yet, they didn't notice anything strange. It was as if all the small habits she had was exactly the same as the original Nan Hua.Thus, she chose to continue living as Nan Hua and slo

Feng Ao Si smiled bitterly when he saw Nan Luo's expression. He didn't want to admit this, but…."It's true. Ah Kuai always managed to trick Ah Si," Nan Si Qiao added from the side."Mother, it's not always.""Most of the time."Feng Ao Si pursed his lips and really couldn't find anything else to retort. He could only look at the two people in front of him, who were still fighting continuously. From the way it looked like, Nan Hua didn't have any difficulties to guess what Feng Ao Kuai was planning and prepared her counterattack in time.The two of them continued to fight again and again. Even as lunch time passed and the sun sets, the two of them were still fighting.In the end, Feng Ao Kuai was the first one to stop. He stood at a distance away from Nan Hua. "Tell me, how did you find out?"How?Nan Hua had countless fights against those who fought dirty and often used those tricks herself. As a result, she had already developed her own counterattack to make sure that she would be a

Kicking the ground, Feng Ao Si reached Nan Hua's side in a matter of seconds. His eyes were looking in her direction as he hacked his sword.Swish!Nan Hua tilted her body to the side, evading the attack effortlessly. Switching her pivot legs, she thrusted forward.Scratch!The sword barely scratched Feng Ao Si's neck. He was astonished, but he quickly jumped to the side. His neck felt slightly hurt. If it was a real sword and not wooden sword, he was sure that his neck would have been bleeding at this point.Nan Hua stood before Feng Ao Si with her sword by her side. Her small figure somehow looked much bigger. "Continue.""Ahhhh!" Rushing while screaming, Feng Ao Si wielded his sword and aimed towards Nan Hua's position. Sensing her switching her weight, he shifted to the side slightly in order to catch her off guard.Without any warning, Nan Hua swiftly changed her pivot once more and raised her wooden sword.Tak!The attack was parried and Nan Hua was dangerously close with Feng A
Chapter 146
Feng Ao Kuai's answer was succinct and simple, but it had given Feng Ao Si everything that he needed to know. His younger brother was serious… does it mean that he would lose all hope to recruit his younger brother into his army in the future?Feng Ao Si had completely forgotten that his younger brother couldn't even stand him as he pondered over the matter. There was no way Feng Ao Kuai would even want to stay in Feng Ao Si's army."How long do you want to stay here?" Feng Ao Kuai asked without moving his eyes from his books."Huh?""This is my room."Feng Ao Si was speechless. He had the feeling that his younger brother was kicking him out of the room."Can't I stay here?""Your room is the other one."…polite rejection.Feng Ao Si could only drag his legs to the room next door while still pondering what Feng Ao Kuai told him. The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't accept it."I'm not convinced! I'll challenge her tomorrow!"'Hmm?'Feng Ao Kuai naturally heard what his o

"I want to protect my family too." Feng Ao Kuai looked at Nan Hua. "But I don't think I'll be able to do what you do."Building an individual army on his own.He had thought about it for some time, but he came to the conclusion that he wouldn't be able to do it. He was different from Nan Hua and even though he had more access to the battlefield, he wouldn't be able to stay in the Capital City for a long time.His knowledge regarding the political progress would be much slower than her.Looking at his small cousin, who didn't look much different than any other young girl, he knew that other people would think that he was crazy. But when he looked at her eyes, he felt that this was the best decision for him.Thus, he thought that it would be better for him to help Nan Hua to build the necessary power. Even if he was just one of the few people who supported Nan Hua, he would show that he would not lose against those who had been at the battlefield for a long time and rise to power."Five

Unfortunately, it was simply impossible to refuse.Thus, they have another battle and this time, Feng Ao Kuai focused on dealing with Nan Hua. However, he lost even faster than his older brother. Even though he was smart, his strength was nothing compared to Nan Hua."How about switching the arrangement?" Hou Liang suggested when he saw the miserable look on Feng Ao Kuai."No matter which team she's placed in, Hua'er will definitely win." Old Master Nan sighed. He looked at Nan Hua then patted her head tenderly. "Go and have some rest. You must be tired after a long game.""Mhm.""Also, Feng Ao Si, you still have to stay behind and train with Ah Luo. Ah Kuai, you may return first and read in the library."Feng Ao Kuai's eyes shone when he heard that. However, his gaze landed on Nan Hua. "Hua'er, can I talk for a bit?""Sure.""Not here, in the library.""Ok."The library in Nan Family Residence could be said to be one of the quietest place. Old Master Nan hated it when someone interru
