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 208
Old Master Nan was not the only one eavesdropper.Nan Hua had silently followed them. Since Nan Luo's quarter was not far from her own and he talked about these in his quarter, she could listen from a distance away. 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. The passerby were all stunned to see a lot of people surrounded the residenc

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
Chapter 206
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. She was not smiling and the spirit in her eyes had long lost its luster. He was desperate to do anything just so that she could smile in his direction once more.Just once more.Return his

"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
