Anthony stood up, his expression soft as usual. “It was sold to me at $400k or so,” he responded, his voice casual as if it's the most common thing to say. “The actual price had just eluded my mind slightly but it's between that amount.”

Sarah was slightly stunned. “That's huge! You were really determined to get this for himself, I guess,” she commented.

Anthony tilted his head and replied. “It has always been on my mind.”

Sarah nodded, but said no word.

After a few minutes, Anthony raised an eyebrow and asked. “So what do you want to eat? Let me prepare something for you.”

“Prepare for me?” Sarah repeated. “Didn't we just finish breakfast at the restaurant before heading here?” She asked.

Anthony nodded but answered dismissively. “That was a restaurant's food, and this one is actually celebrating my acquired villa.”

“But my stomach is filled up. Maybe I can eat some other time, not necessarily today.”

He shook his head, his persistence sure. “No, I want it to be today. This i

    Chapter 153 Sarah also froze at the sight of Anthony. How? How could he be here? She whispered, completely astonished. Her eyes widened. She opened her mouth, but a coherent response couldn't come out. “An…. Anthony, you?” She stammered.Anthony’s eyes flicked from Sarah to Benjamin and he stared at him for a moment longer. Then, they flipped back to Sarah, his eyes filled with quiet intensity. He walked closer. “Sarah,” he called out, still as if he was dreaming. “What are you doing here? With him?” He gestured toward Benjamin. “Didn't you say you were at home taking a rest?” Sarah stood there, iced at a spot. Her mouth went dry of words, a heavy weight of guilt descending on her. “It—it's not what you think, Anthony. There's —”Anthony cut her off, his voice cold. “What else do you want to say? Lie to me again?” He said, completely annoyed. “I called to check on you to know how you were doing and you told me you were resting at home,” he paused, then added. “So, this is the hous

Please, have a seat.” He gestured toward the seat opposite him.Biden put himself in order and sat down. “Thank you.” Liam straightened up and asked. “You're back from the United States of America. How's your father? Hope he's fine.”Biden smiled. “Yes, he is.”Liam nodded then his expression turned serious. A business discussion looks. “So, what brought you to my office?” Biden shifted slightly in his seat. “I came back not days ago, so I thought it was wise to come here to have some discussion with you.”“About what?” Liam frowned.Biden smiled faintly. “About business. I heard a younger person had taken over the position of chairman so I have come to know more about this.”Liam grabbed the document back again. He scanned through it then looked at Biden. “Did you inform me you were coming? I mean, you've a manager. And if you must

    Chapter 164The nylon burst opened, the white substance pouring onto the ground. The white substance was revealed. Biden's heart skipped, his eyes widening. He couldn't say a word. The bodyguard froze at a spot, his heart pounding rapidly with fear. If anything goes wrong, then he'll be in trouble.Meanwhile, Anthony having no idea about what was in the nylon, quickly said apologetically. “I'm sorry, so sorry.”He bent down to gather the stuff, but Biden's bodyguard quickly pushed him away. “Get your hands off it!” He snarled, his expression dark.The impact was so much that Anthony almost fell to the ground, but he caught himself. His face twisted with rage. “What the fucking hell was that?” He shot back, his eyes red with anger.The bodyguard ignored him entirely, his eyes focused on gathering the substance so no one else could see it.Meanwhile, Biden adjusted his suit, cleaned his lips, making sure no trace of any substance was seen. Having done that, he turned to face Anthony,

    Chapter 163Meanwhile, still within the four walls of Almighty Anthony's Empire's headquarters, a sleek black Range Rover pulled into the compound. Heads turned and eyes turned towards the direction of the car as it was parking at a spot. Some even paused to know who the person inside the car was.As the car parked, the door opened, and a tall, mighty man with a muscular body rushed out of the car. Running over to the other side, he opened the back door, his head bowed to the ground with respect.Just then, a man stepped out.He was putting on a tailored suit and classic and polished Oxford shoes. Wrapped around his wrist was a Rolex watch costing $16,000.The young man carried himself with grace as he looked around the towering structure with admiration. “This is something….. amazing!” He commented.His bodyguard slammed the door shut and nodded, but dared not look into his eyes. “Yes, master. Almighty Anthony's Empire has improved rapidly over the years.” The young continued to no

    Chapter 162Liam leaned forward, cleared his throat, and started, his expression soft. “Young master, the Cornelius Marcus’ family is one of the top successful business families in town, and I doubt if they don't beat the first amongst all.”Anthony only nodded, silently encouraging him to carry on. Liam nodded also and carried on, “They run a company which is well known in town and it's doing excellently well. And undoubtedly, they're worth millions.”Anthony’s face lit up with interest. He leaned forward and asked, his arms casually crossed across his chest. “Does that make them powerful?”Liam chuckled softly, his genuine smile parting his lips. “No, my master,” he shook his head in disapproval. “They're only powerful to people who aren't up to their standards, but I tell you, they're just at the tip of our mercies. It is because of us they're excelling.”He shifted slightly in his seat. “If we choose to pull back from helping them, they'll collapse in just a night.” Anthony tilt
