SEASON 2 : CHAPTER 514

The boardroom lay split in half—one side drowned in silence, the other in a quiet, trembling panic. Marcus Blackthorne hadn’t moved since Javier’s fingers left his collar. His breath came in short, ragged bursts, like a man who had just seen death and wasn’t sure it had left yet.

Javier’s expression, however, remained unreadable.

Too calm.

Too silent.

Too dangerous.

He returned to his seat at the head of the table with the same unhurried stride he used whether entering a boardroom or walking past men plotting his downfall. He sat, adjusted his cuffs, and the room collectively recoiled—because even that tiny gesture carried threat.

“Shall we continue?” Javier asked.

His tone was soft.

Soft enough to terrify.

Executives exchanged frantic glances, but no one dared break the silence. Marcus flinched when Javier’s gaze slid past him, but Javier didn’t look at him again.

Not yet.

He had other threats to address.

His eyes shifted—cold, steady, calculating—to the man sitting near the far end

    Javier followed Mr. Flanders down the corridor, moving at an unhurried pace. Behind him, employees whispered frantically, trying to understand how they had just insulted a billionaire without knowing.But not everyone had heard the truth yet.As Javier stepped into the operations department, a group of young staff members near the reception desk turned to look at him. They exchanged glances, snickering.“Hey, there he is again,” one of them muttered.Another one smirked. “The guy who keeps sneaking around like he owns the place.”The receptionist, Mira, folded her arms. “Sir, can I help you?” she asked, tone dripping with annoyance.Mr. Flanders froze. “Mira—”But Javier gestured for him not to interfere.He approached the desk calmly. “I’m here for the inspection.”Mira raised an eyebrow. “Inspection? You?” She laughed. “Sir, this is a corporate office, not a community center.” She picked up her tablet. “Name?”“Javier,” he replied.“Javier what?” she pressed, clearly ready to mock h

    The elevator doors slid open with a quiet chime, and Javier stepped out, hands in his coat pockets, posture relaxed as always. He moved toward the main hallway, intending to attend the inspection Cole had deliberately postponed.But before he could reach the glass doors leading to the operations wing, two security guards stepped in front of him, blocking his path.“Sir, you can’t go in,” the taller one said.Javier lifted his gaze slightly. “And why is that?”The shorter guard scoffed. “Because this area is for employees. Not visitors. Especially not… whoever you are.”People nearby slowed their steps, watching.“I have business here,” Javier replied, voice calm, tone flat.The taller guard snorted. “What business? You selling brochures? Looking for a job? Trying to fix the printer?” He crossed his arms. “This floor is restricted. Move along.”Javier didn’t move.The shorter guard whispered loudly—loud enough for everyone to hear, intentionally. “Dude, maybe he’s one of those people w

    The elevator doors slid open with a soft chime, and Javier stepped into the empty hallway, hands in his pockets, posture relaxed. The meeting room behind him was still filled with stunned executives, whispering frantically, but he paid them no mind.He walked toward the lobby.Calm.Unhurried.He didn’t need their approval.He didn’t need their respect.He came here for one purpose—and being insulted was part of the process.But the executives weren’t done with him.Especially Cole.Cole burst into the hallway seconds later, face red, breathing heavily as he pointed wildly at Javier’s back.“There! That’s him! Get him OUT of this building!”Two security guards stationed near the corridor turned their heads.The first frowned. “Who? The guy in the suit?”“Yes, HIM!” Cole snapped. “Get him out! Now!”The second guard raised a brow. “We don’t throw out guests unless there’s a reason.”Cole stepped closer, jabbing a finger. “He is NOT a guest. He’s an intruder. A nobody. A parasite who sl

    The evening executive session gathered inside the top-floor conference room—a polished glass space overlooking the city. The table was long, glossy, and filled with people who spoke too loudly because they wanted to sound important.Javier entered quietly.No one noticed him at first.Then Cole saw him.“What the—why is he here?” Cole exclaimed, pointing like Javier was a stray dog that wandered inside.Several executives turned.One frowned. “Is he the janitor?”Another scoffed, “No, janitors dress better.”A woman in a red blazer whispered loudly, “Henderson must be joking. This meeting is for executives. Not… whatever he is.”More laughter.Javier remained silent, hands in his pockets, eyes steady.Henderson walked in behind him, carrying a folder.Yet even that didn’t calm them.“Sir,” Cole said sharply, “I don’t think you understand—he doesn’t belong in a room like this.”Javier took a seat.Calm.Unbothered.He didn’t argue.He didn’t try to defend himself.He simply folded his

    Henderson closed the boardroom door behind them, leaving Cole and the rest of the executives whispering like confused children.“Follow me,” Henderson said, voice low.Javier didn’t comment. He simply walked beside him as if the hallway wasn’t filled with people stopping mid-step just to stare.Some whispered openly.“Why is the CEO talking to him?”“Is he in trouble?”“Maybe Henderson feels sorry for him.”Someone snorted. “He looks like he needs charity, not a private meeting.”Javier ignored all of it.Henderson led him into a smaller conference room and shut the door.“Sit.”Javier took the chair without hesitation.Henderson stayed standing, arms folded, studying him with the cautious curiosity of a man who knew he’d overlooked something important.“How did you know the numbers?” Henderson asked.“I read,” Javier answered simply.Henderson frowned. “Everyone reads. Not everyone understands.”“That’s not my problem,” Javier replied.The CEO let out a dry exhale. “You’re… an intere

  • SEASON 2 : CHAPTER 543

    The lobby fell silent when Javier stepped out of the elevator, but the silence wasn’t admiration—far from it.It was the kind of silence reserved for people who didn’t belong. People who were tolerated, not respected.“Look who’s here,” one of the junior executives muttered loudly enough for everyone to hear. “The charity case.”Javier didn’t react. He simply walked forward, his expression unreadable.Behind him, murmurs grew.“Honestly, why is he still allowed in the headquarters?”“He probably slept in the storage room again.”“Can’t he at least dress like a human being?”Javier's shirt was plain, slightly wrinkled from the chaotic morning. His shoes were old—not ruined, but far from polished. He wore nothing that reflected even one percent of the empire he actually owned.And that was exactly why they underestimated him.As he reached the front desk to check the meeting schedule, the receptionist didn’t even look up.“You’re in the wrong building,” she said flatly.“No,” Javier rep
