2026-07-17 14:43:24Three hours after the launch commotion subsided, the atmosphere on the executive floor of Apex Tower felt like heaven on earth for everyone—except for Julian Vance.
In the recreation room, the entire Tengda Corp staff was busy partying. Non-alcoholic champagne bottles were popped open, crisp laughter could be heard in every corner, and Harry was busy giving an exclusive interview to a famous tech magazine via video call.
Meanwhile, inside his soundproof office, Julian sat

CHAPTER 45: A New Trap from the Financial Tower
Inspector Tarantino's departure from the archive room corridor did not immediately bring peace to the Tengda Experience Center. Outside, thousands of people were still screaming hysterically, demanding the lobby doors be opened immediately. However, Julian knew his war was not over yet. The fate of his ten million dollars was still hanging in the balance.While Chloe was still absorbed in staring at her phone screen with a proud smile, and Elena affectionately leaned her head on Julian's shoulder, Harry suddenly came sprinting from the direction of the executive elevator. His skinny face was drenched in sweat. His hand gripped an official telegram from the bank."B-Boss Julian! Miss Chloe!" Harry panted, his eyes bulging in panic. "Crazy! Arthur Sterling didn't just send tax officers. He just launched a new financial attack!"Chloe immediately let go of Julian's arm. Her affectionate expression turned serious the moment her father's name was mentioned again. "What is that old geezer u
CHAPTER 44: A Fierce War of Public Opinion
In the archive room corridor, Inspector Tarantino stood frozen in front of the door that was tightly locked from the inside. His face looked stiff as he stared at the doorknob that could not be turned at all."This is outrageous!" Tarantino turned around, glaring sharply at Julian Vance. "Mr. Vance, locking oneself in the archive room under the pretext of a 'Tranquil Flow Audit' is a form of sabotage against a state investigation! I can request a forcible arrest warrant for you and the entire board of directors of Tengda Corp on charges of obstructing an investigation!"The lawyers from the Sterling Group behind Tarantino immediately leaned in, whispering something to stir up trouble. They knew that every minute wasted in this corridor would become free ammunition for Tengda Corp to strike back at Arthur Sterling in front of the public.However, before Julian could tell Tarantino to break the door down—because he desperately wanted the evidence of Hendrik's corruption to be exposed im
CHAPTER 43: Stalling Tactics in the Archive Room
Frank's loud shout in the lobby of the Grand Riverdale Mall brought the atmosphere to an instant standstill. However, to the dozens of reporters, it was first-class news material. Camera flashes immediately focused on Frank, who stood panting heavily with a face flushed from alcohol."What audacity!" Inspector Tarantino felt humiliated by Frank's actions. In all his years of leading confiscation operations, this was the first time a corporate staff member had dared to threaten him with a pocket knife and a liquor bottle in public. "Officers! Secure this drunkard! He is resisting officers on duty!"Two burly officers immediately stepped forward to apprehend Frank. However, in Chloe Sterling's eyes, this was part of Julian's psychological tactics. Her misunderstanding resurfaced. She was certain that Frank was a pawn intentionally sacrificed by Julian to provoke the authorities into using violence in front of the media."Journalists, look at this!" Chloe shouted loudly. She pointed at t
CHAPTER 42: The Storm at the Doorstep
The cheers of thousands of visitors in the corridor of the Grand Riverdale Mall echoed as the giant black curtain was dropped. The flashes from the cameras of dozens of reporters struck endlessly, immortalizing the luxurious interior of the Tengda Experience Center, which was coated in Italian marble curated by Chloe Sterling. Beneath the crystal chandeliers, rows of desks containing five hundred PC units from Elena Thorne's division were lined up very neatly.Julian stood in the center of the main lobby stage. His hand still held the curtain's pull rope. His face was calm with a mysterious smile. Deep down, Julian was already prepared to count down his company's destruction. He knew that once this enthusiastic crowd entered and pressed the power buttons on the junk computers resulting from Hendrik's corruption, the system would immediately crash and the grand bankruptcy drama would officially begin.
CHAPTER 41: Opening Day of the House of Cards
The day Julian Vance had been waiting for finally arrived. That morning, the corridors of the Grand Riverdale Mall were already packed with thousands of young people, gamer communities, and dozens of journalists from national media. A giant neon banner reading "Tengda Experience Center: The Authentic Rebellion" stretched across the main lobby entrance, which was still covered by a massive black curtain.The situation outside the lobby was already beyond reason. Richard's viral review had successfully transformed this place into a 'test of courage cafe' most sought after by socialites. For the youth and elites of Riverdale, free internet was no longer the main attraction. They flocked there out of curiosity, wanting to experience
CHAPTER 40: The Budget That Evaporated at the Gambling Table
While Chloe's luxury cafe in the Grand Riverdale Mall was in an uproar, being messed up by Frank's thug-style service, in the northern district which was Elena Thorne's territory, Julian's second time bomb was getting ready to explode.Hendrik, the new Head of Physical Procurement, sat in a dimly lit bar near the port. In front of him lay a silver briefcase containing budget documents amounting to four million dollars—special funds for the procurement of five hundred god-tier spec PCs.Hendrik's eyes glanced greedily at his watch. Across the table sat Viktor, a smuggled goods broker. The man with a snake tattoo on his neck was famous as a specialist in providing junk hardware from the border."List
