2024-08-03 17:02:51The confidence surging through Alex was something entirely new—a heady, intoxicating feeling that filled him with a sense of purpose and certainty. With his father’s memories now intertwined with his own, he knew exactly where to go to claim his birthright.
“Summit National Bank,” Alex muttered to himself as he shrugged on his jacket. He could hardly believe that he was about to step into a world that had been beyond his reach until now.
For centuries, Summit National Bank had been the exclusive domain of the country’s elite—a fortress of wealth and power. This wasn’t just a bank; it was a symbol, a gatekeeper for those whose influence stretched far beyond mere money. To even have an account there meant more than being rich; it meant belonging to a different world. But now, Alex knew—an account had been created for him at this very bank.
Stepping out of the taxi, Alex paused to take in the grand facade of the bank. Its towering pillars and ornate architecture were imposing, almost intimidating. But Alex wasn’t the same person he had been just days ago. He squared his shoulders and strode towards the entrance, but before he could enter, a burly security guard stepped in his way.
“I’m afraid you cannot enter, sir,” the guard stated firmly, his posture rigid and his gaze as hard as steel. He didn’t even bother to hide his disdain as he looked Alex up and down.
Alex didn’t flinch. He knew exactly what the guard was thinking—a man dressed as shabbily as him couldn’t possibly belong in a place like this. But Alex’s confidence was unshakable. He had seen too much and learned too much to be deterred by a mere obstacle like this.
“I understand you’re doing your job,” Alex replied calmly, his voice steady, “but I need to go inside to claim my inheritance.”
The guard hesitated, thrown off by Alex’s unwavering tone. He blinked, as if reconsidering his initial judgment. Perhaps this wasn’t just some random vagrant trying to bluff his way inside.
“A person like you cannot possibly have an inheritance in this bank,” the guard insisted, though his voice had lost some of its edge. “Please leave the premises now, or I’ll be forced to call the police for trespassing.”
But Alex didn’t budge. He simply smiled—a calm, knowing smile that seemed to unsettle the guard even further.
“I need to speak to your boss. Please get me your boss,” Alex said, his confidence cutting through the tension like a knife.
The guard’s face was twisted with anger. How dare this nobody demand to see his boss? But before he could respond, he noticed something unusual—this young man wasn’t intimidated in the slightest. There was something about him that was different.
“That’s it; I’m calling the police,” the guard snapped, his patience snapping as he reached into his pocket. “You’ll regret wasting my time. You’ll be in a cell by the end of the day.”
The guard pulled out his phone and began dialing, his eyes never leaving Alex. But before he could press the phone to his ear, a voice interrupted them.
“What seems to be the problem here?” A man in a crisp suit emerged from the bank, his presence commanding instant respect. The guard froze, his hand hovering over his phone, caught off guard by the newcomer.
Alex recognized him immediately. The way the guard stiffened and responded with deference told him all he needed to know—this was the man in charge.
“Sir, this man claims to have an inheritance here,” the guard said, his voice suddenly meek. “He insists on seeing you, but I was about to call the police. He’s trespassing.”
The man in the suit—clearly the bank manager—looked Alex over, his expression curious rather than dismissive. There was something about this young man’s demeanor that intrigued him—something that didn’t fit with his appearance.
“Good day, sir. I would like to speak with the bank manager,” Alex said confidently, meeting the man’s gaze with unwavering assurance.
“I am Nathaniel Sterling, the bank manager,” the man replied, his voice measured, but there was a note of curiosity in his tone. “You claim to have an inheritance, but I’m afraid you might not be aware of what this bank is. Summit National Bank is for: ”
“The wealthy class only,” Alex interrupted, knowing exactly where the manager was heading. “I must be mistaken if I think I have an inheritance here, right? If I have any inheritance at all, it must be in a bank for the common class, not a premium account like the ones you handle.”
Nathaniel Sterling’s eyes narrowed slightly, but before he could respond, Alex dropped the bombshell.
“I am Alex Carter, son of Sebastian Carter. The heir of the Sebastian Southlake Corporation.”
The effect was immediate. Nathaniel Sterling’s face was drained of color, his eyes widening in shock. He looked as if Alex had just struck him with a physical blow.
“The son of Sebastian Carter? The heir of the Sebastian Southlake Corporation?” Nathaniel repeated, his voice quivering with disbelief.
It was as though the ground had shifted beneath him. This wasn’t just some audacious young man making outrageous claims—this was the heir to one of the most powerful empires in the country standing before him.

Sebastian Carter, the president of the corporation, perished in a horrific fire that consumed his home, taking with it his family. The fire left the corporation leaderless, and since then, only a vice president has managed its affairs.

Stacks of dollars were meticulously arranged in bundles, but what truly caught Alex’s breath were the countless gemstones—gold, diamonds, jade—all shimmering under the dim light. The sheer wealth inside was staggering, easily worth over a hundred billion dollars.Despite possessing his father's memories, Alex had no idea what the vault contained until this very moment. His eyes widened in disbelief as he took in the sight before him.“All this is mine? This is my inheritance.” Alex murmured, still in shock, struggling to comprehend the magnitude of what he was seeing.Mr. Sterling, the bank manager, was equally stunned.

Jake Lawson, the project manager at Sebastian Southlake Corporation, stepped out of the elevator and immediately took in the scene before him. A young man, dressed in shabby clothes, was struggling against two security guards. The situation looked precarious, and Jake's heart raced as he assessed the potential threat. The young man’s appearance suggested he might be a street thug or a common thief, posing a risk to the corporation’s property.“What’s going on here?” Jake's voice cut through the lobby with authority as he turned his piercing gaze towards the secretary.The secretary quickly pointed a finger at Alex. “This man asked to see Madam Ava, sir.”Jake’s eyes narrowed as he looked at the young man. “And why does he want to see Madam Ava?”“I don’t know, sir,” the secretary replied, her tone dismissive. “But he doesn’t seem important. He’s probably here to steal something.”Jake nodded in agreement. Recently, Madam Ava had reported an attempted break-in by some rough-looking ind

Following the late Sebastian Carter's will, which mandated that family members be treated with the utmost respect, Ava offered Alex every comfort imaginable.

His visit was not about indulgence; it was about reclaiming his rightful place.As he settled onto the plush sofa, Alex announced, “I am Alex Carter, the son of Sebastian Carter. I’ve come to claim my rightful position as president of this corporation.”Ava’s eyes widened in disbelief. Though she recognized the family resemblance, the news that Alex was Sebastian’s son was shocking. The official reports had declared that all of Sebastian’s immediate family perished in the fire.

Revenge of The Secret Billionaire Student Chapter 0011 Back To School
Unlike the previous days, Alex approached the school gate with a sense of confidence. He wasn’t scared; in fact, he felt a strange sense of satisfaction as he walked through it.As he entered, he noticed that no news of him being bullied or stabbed had spread around the school. The students who had witnessed the incident went about their day as if nothing had happened, mostly staring at him strangely. It was clear that they hadn’t expected him to be in such good shape.Alex smirked. “Such is life for the poor,” he thought, continuing his slow walk toward the school building. Each passing student eyed him with a mix of surprise and curiosity, but he remained unfazed.He knew that if the situation had involved a wealthier student, the school authorities and possibly even the police would have been involved by now. The student who had stabbed him would likely be facing expulsion. But with no money and no family to advocate for him, his case was easily ignored, especially with someone lik

In the classroom, Alex had always chosen to sit at the back. It wasn’t that he couldn’t sit in the front or the middle, but the last time he did, he was severely mocked. Since then, he has relegated himself to the rear of the room.Today was different. Bolstered by his newfound confidence, Alex felt that even if he faced ridicule from now until next year, he would remain unfazed. So, he boldly chose a seat in the front row, directly across from where Janet and Noah sat.Previously, Alex had never participated actively in class. Not that he wasn’t capable—he was a bright student—but he feared that answering questions would only lead to more mockery. But today marked a turning point. He was ready to embrace boldness in every aspect of his school life. As soon as Professor Willson posed a question, Alex raised his hand.The room fell into surprised whispers. Alex sitting in the front row, raising his hand, was a new and shocking sight.“What’s up with him? He’s acting so strangely since

Hearing Anastasia’s words, Noah’s smirk widened. “I always suspected there was something off about her when she defended the so-called good-for-nothing. Hahaha!” he laughed maniacally, clearly amused by the turn of events.“And what if he loses?” His smirk remained as persistent as ever.Alex immediately grasped Noah’s game and sought to give Anastasia an out. “Anastasia, you don’t have to—”Before Alex could finish, Anastasia cut him off, her voice resolute but strained. “Fine! If he loses, then I’ll date you, and he’ll never have to see me again.”The stakes seemed absurd to Alex, but he was confident in his abilities. Still, he stole a glance at Janet.Janet’s face showed clear shock. Despite her relationship with Noah, she was visibly taken aback by his audacity to challenge Alex and potentially date someone else. Her expression shifted quickly from disbelief to a forced smile. “Yes, Noah, if he loses, you can date her. I’m sure the good-for-nothing won’t stand a chance against yo

It was closing time, and Noah was the first to slam his palm onto Alex’s desk. A bizarre, almost triumphant smirk spread across his face. “I’ll be waiting for you at the same place where you got beaten to a pulp last time.”Alex’s response was a calm smirk of his own. He didn’t rise to Noah’s taunt. Inside, he felt a surge of satisfaction, knowing it was time for Noah to face a serious lesson.“Shall we?” Anastasia said to Alex, her voice filled with resolve. They walked out of the classroom hand-in-hand, their unity evident. As they exited the school grounds, they saw Noah waiting for them, his posture radiating arrogance.Noah’s followers were strategically placed, blocking Alex’s path as he approached. Alex could see his prediction unfolding; as he walked past one of Noah’s followers, they moved to block him, pushing him forward, effectively sealing off any chance of escape.“But who’s trying to escape?” Alex thought to himself. He wasn’t scared; instead, he felt a thrill of antici

Chapter 0241 Inside The office
Elisha stepped his foot into the office. It was quiet, elegant, and heavily guarded. He saw Alex sitting right behind his desk like the president he was—confident, composed, and commanding.“Mr….” Alex began, feigning ignorance of his name. He did it deliberately. He wanted Elisha to repeat his introduction, hoping that this time he might slip, say something different—something that would give Alex a reason to act.Receiving his handshake with a respectful bow, Elisha obliged. “Elisha Gunn, President of the Children’s Wealth Foundation Home,” he said firmly.A military general like him? He had gone on countless missions in the past—covert operations that demanded he maintain alternate identities. How could he forget something as simple as a name? Especially when the first name was real and the last name was fabricated? This was child's play for someone of his caliber.Alex nodded slowly, his sharp gaze fixed on Elisha. He gestured to the chair in front of his desk with a smooth wave o
Chapter 0240 Get To Alex
The crowd rasped their hands together again, and the applause was louder—yet gentle—at the same time. It wasn’t a thunderous roar, but rather a respectful acknowledgment of the moment. This was the sign that Alex was leaving the stage, heading somewhere private, as was customary for such events.But it didn’t mean the party was over—not by a long shot.Hence, knowing this all too well, Sonya leaned closer to Elisha. Her voice dropped into a whisper. “Like I said earlier. I will make it happen. But after I do, you better keep to your word, because I will be waiting for you.” Her words were soft, but they carried weight, a kind of veiled threat wrapped in promise, as they reached his ears.Elisha smiled again. Women were always the same, he thought—complex and calculating in the most familiar way.In this very moment, his mind drifted back to a memory during the time of war when he had been deployed to Afranister. It was a different place, a different time—but the manipulation was just

“Ahem!” Ms. Sonya cleared her throat the moment she noticed Alex and Elisha holding their handshake longer than usual. The atmosphere around them shifted—subtle, but undeniable. She narrowed her eyes at the pair.Her gaze moved to Alex’s face. His expression was slightly squinted—like someone trying to process a gut feeling or a hidden message. There was tension in his eyes, not the typical expression worn when meeting a stranger.Then she turned her attention to Elisha. He wore a smirk. Not just any smirk—it was the kind that carried intent. Calculated. Confident. There was something behind it, something unspoken. But what exactly, she couldn’t tell.Maybe they were old buddies just reconnecting? she thought, attempting to shake the discomfort as she stepped back. Still, something about their exchange didn’t sit right.“Perhaps I’ll leave you two to catch up, huh?” she muttered awkwardly, trying to mask her confusion with a polite smile before walking away quickly, heels tapping shar
Chapter 0238 Alex Speech
“Shall we go see the president?” he gestured lively to the ladies.It wasn’t just a casual suggestion—it was a calculated move. As a general, he knew how certain kinds of people responded to power and presence. Ladies, especially those of high standing, often relished being seen in privileged company or known for being familiar with influential individuals. Elisha had learned this much from his interactions with them. Judging from everything he'd picked up since mingling in these circles, it was always about the appearance of access.“I have never spoken to the president one-on-one before. I dream, perhaps my lucky day is today,” he added, lowering his gaze toward the glass of wine in his hand. He crafted a look as pitiable as possible, as though this unfulfilled wish weighed on him deeply.Hearing that he had never spoken to President Alex before, the ladies gasped, covering their mouths in surprise.There were three of them in total—elegant and commanding. Each was a CEO of a differ

Hence, Elisha was going to leverage it for his mission.Like everybody else, Elisha drove right through the already opened gate. Beforehand, he had not known about the gala, but coincidentally, the gala was happening tonight, and wasn’t he the luckiest man?He smiled at the valet as he tossed him his car key, then confidently walked away from the door, blending effortlessly with the evening's elegance.He made sure to walk on the red carpet that was spread to glorify the staircase beyond the front door.

Chapter 0236 The Reservation
Elisha sat on the edge of the bed in his hotel room. The room was not like something he was used to.The small-sized bed, the small-sized room, the small-sized everything that was put in the room. It all felt almost suffocating. Back in Norway Bradad, his governmental-given residence was triple the size of this small-sized reservation in this hotel. But even so, he purposely chose the room.“It would be easier to get ready for the day ahead here than being in the bigger room," he convinced himself as he inspected this room before he paid for it. Sometimes, simplicity helped him focus.Ten minutes into sitting there, lost deep in thought about how he was going to execute his plan tomorrow, he heard the doorbell ring. Quickly shaking himself out of his mind maze, he rose to open it.Before opening, he already knew it was no one other than the personal shopper who had been summoned by the receptionist, judging by the needs he had earlier mentioned to her. He straightened his posture befo
Chapter 0235 Getting to The City
Five days and five nights passed, and Elisha was still walking towards the north in the jungle. His body was weary, his legs were swollen, and hunger gnawed at his insides like a wild beast. Each step grew heavier than the last.As the evening of the fifth day fell upon him, he found himself beneath the welcoming shade of an apple tree. He sat down heavily to catch his breath. This apple tree was the first edible fruit tree he had seen since he had started wandering through the dense and relentless jungle.To this discovery, he decided he would not miss this opportunist.Elisha looked up to the top of the tree and noticed a few apples already ripened under the orange sky. He reached out and touched the trunk, feeling the roughness of the tree bark beneath his palm. It was sturdy enough—something he could climb.Different countries, different weather, different soil, right? Back in Norway Bradad, apple trees were short. You could simply stretch out your hands and pluck even the apples
Chapter 0234 How to Evacuate
Being the president of Norway Bradad, Agata had access to a lot of things, including a military private helicopter.After Elisha gave him a solemn nod, he understood the assignment without needing further explanation. He stepped out of Agata’s office with a respectful bow and immediately headed to the military camp, his mind already preparing for the mission ahead.For a general like him, war and battles were no strangers. He was a man who had climbed from the bottom to the very top of the military hierarchy, earning every stripe and rank through sheer determination and skill.Forty years ago, Elisha had joined the military as a recruit. His days had been filled with rigorous training—brutal trainings so harsh that many recruits like himself lost their lives before they could even complete it. But Elisha survived. He endured.From that point, he began at the lowest rank. Through unwavering bravery, numerous achievements, and countless victories in wars, he continued to rise. His progr
Chapter 0233 Other Nation Followed Suit
Agata hung up the call suddenly, his breathing fast and heavy like an angry lion. He slammed the phone on the desk, clenching his fists as the fury boiled inside him.If Halsten had not threatened him, he’d have known exactly what to do. Even if it were not to later secure the oil well, he would have invaded Velmoria without a second thought and taught Alex a harsh lesson he wouldn’t forget.However, his hands were tied, and the feeling of helplessness gnawed at him. “Those motherfuckers!” Agata cursed bitterly as he pictured Halsten’s smug face and imagined giving him the weaning — right in his head again, harder this time.He exhaled sharply and moved toward his desk from the glass wall where he had been standing when he received the call. Just as he reached his chair, the heavy door creaked open, and Elisha stepped into his spacious presidential office.“Sir, I think you need to see this,” Elisha said, his voice tense with urgency.Agata turned sharply to face him. Elisha held a t
