2026-07-15 18:00:08Exactly at 09:45 AM. The main hall of Tengda Hall on the lower floor of Apex Tower was already crowded with hundreds of journalists, tech critics, and the active cameras of television stations.
In the front row of VIP seats, Arthur Sterling sat with his arms crossed and an undisguised cynical smile. Beside him, Brandon Richter sat casually with his legs crossed, occasionally adjusting his suit while looking at his phone screen wi

Chapter 136
The grand opening of the Tengda Abyss Soap retail store was, by all conventional business metrics, a complete disaster. Julian Vance couldn't have been happier. The "storefront" was just a wobbly wooden folding table set up in front of their condemned office building. Stacked on top were the jagged, unpolished black bricks of volcanic soap. They weren't wrapped in plastic. They had no labels. Sitting behind the table on a plastic stool was Doni. He was wearing his usual stained tank top, sweating in the humid Megantara City heat, and aggressively chewing on a toothpick. He glared at every single pedestrian who walked past the alley. "Look at him," Julian w

Julian crouched on the dirt floor of the slum office, staring at the massive burlap sack Hendrik had dragged in. He reached inside and grabbed a handful of the pitch-black powder. It stained his fingers instantly."Hendrik, I gave you one very specific instruction," Julian said, looking up with a massive grin. "I told you to buy the most toxic, foul-smelling ash from the illegal burned-tire dumps on the outskirts of the city. Is this burned tire ash?"Hendrik sweated profusely, wiping his forehead with a dirty rag. "Well, Boss, here is the thing. The local accent in Megantara City is really thick. I went to the abandoned industrial zone, but the tire guys were sold out. So, I found these sketchy smugglers wearing gas m

Chloe Sterling stepped over the broken wooden door, aggressively brushing a thick layer of gray dust off her ruined designer jacket. She marched straight to the rotting wooden desk, slammed both hands onto the surface, and glared at Julian."You left a trillion-dollar empire for this condemned building, Julian. Explain yourself right now," Chloe demanded, her voice dangerously calm."It was a tactical retreat!" Julian lied, backing his chair into the moldy wall. "Tengda Corp was getting too bloated. We needed to test our survival skills!"Elena Thorne cracked her neck, her tactical boots leaving heavy prints in the dirt floor. She looked around the cramped, windowless slum office. "Tactically speaking, this is a nightmare. No security perimeter. No escape routes. We don't even have a functioning coffee machine.""It is glorious," Nadine Prescott whispered. She pushed her silver glasses up her nose, her eyes scanning the cracked ceiling. "A pure, ungentrified, working-class slum. You b

Chapter 5Valerie was startled, pushing Noah's body away, but the man instead tightened his embrace."Didn't you want to punish me, Miss?" he whispered softly right in front of Valerie's face. Not long after, he immediately kissed the woman's lips.His kiss was deep, demanding, and mercilessly destroyed the remnants of the CEO's arrogance. Noah forced his tongue in, exploring Valerie's mouth and taking over the rhythm completely.The taste of expensive champagne from Valerie's mouth was intoxicating, but not enough to distract Noah's focus. He gripped the woman's waist, lifting his master's body up slightly until Valerie was forced to stand on her tiptoes, pressing their centers together.The friction triggered a suppressed sigh from Valerie's throat. The woman's hands, which initially tried to push Noah's chest, now actually squeezed the collar of the navy suit that the boutique assistant had just put on him. Her red nails gripped the expensive fabric desperately, seeking something t

Roman threw his whiskey glass at the wall right next to Giselle's head. The shattered glass scattered, making Giselle scream in terror and cower on the floor."The only one who has to shut her mouth here is you, Giselle," Roman hissed. His voice was low yet deadly. "You entered my territory, asked for my protection, and you dare to yell at my woman?""Roman, I'm your lover! Not her!" Giselle cried out in protest. "I made a mistake last night, I admit it! But you can't just turn to this woman right away! You love me!"Roman laughed softly. A laugh that had absolutely no warmth."Love?" Roman looked down, staring at Giselle who was trembling on the floor. "You threw me away like a mangy dog last night because I couldn't buy you luxury. Now, when I have what you want, you come begging to ask me back? You're even cheaper than a street prostitute, Giselle."Giselle's face flushed crimson from shame and anger, but her fear was greater. She moved forward, trying to grab Roman's leg. "Roman,

"Tell me this altar is going to collapse," Julian whispered, tugging at the collar of his suffocatingly expensive black tuxedo."Not a chance, Boss!" Hendrik gave a proud, greasy thumbs-up. "I built this entire stage out of the finest rusted titanium scrap I could scavenge from the Andromeda junkyards. The structural integrity is flawless, but it looks like absolute garbage. The fashion magazines are already calling it 'Hyper-Scrap Minimalism'.""And the catering?" Julian looked over at Doni, who was wearing a formal tuxedo but had inexplicably ripped the sleeves off to show his biceps."Only the absolute worst!" Doni laughed loudly, holding up a dented p
