"Now that’s a true gentleman!" Mrs. Lancaster exclaimed.

"Oh, I’m just doing what I can to help," Chris responded humbly, though inside, his pride swelled at the praise.

Meanwhile, Alex couldn't suppress a sneer.

He turned to Chris.

"Do you even know what’s going on? Or are you once again claiming credit for something you had no hand in?"

Jack shot back at Alex.

"You almost got us into more trouble with your reckless mouth. Chris was the one who scared off Trevor, so what are you even talking about?"

Chris’s eyes widened at the mention of Trevor.

Trevor?!

They were talking about *that* Trevor, the feared underworld boss?

No wonder the man had looked so menacing!

Relief washed over Chris—he was glad he had shown up late and hadn’t made any bold moves.

Phew!

Still, he couldn’t help but wonder when he’d gained such influence over someone like Trevor.

Maybe his father’s influence was far greater than he had ever imagined.

He looked around, realizing no one held more power than him.

    Outside the Lancaster mansion, a modest car stood waiting, with the driver by its side.Alfred had chosen this low-profile setup, understanding it would help Alex stay unnoticed.As soon as the driver saw Alex approach, he quickly moved toward him."Sir Alex, I’m Morris, the driver sent by Mr. Alfred," he said politely, bowing as he opened the car door for Alex to enter.Inside the car, Morris handed Alex an electronic pad."Sir, inside that pad is 576 pieces of data on people named Jo from all over Vancouver, along with their pictures."He glanced in the rearview mirror and saw that Alex was already rapidly scanning through the files."Please select the one we should begin with, and I'll guide you there," Morris added, buckling his seatbelt as the engine roared to life."This one," Alex said suddenly, handing b

    Alex walked to the car, noticing curious, predatory eyes already lingering on him.People in this place were always on the lookout, ready to exploit any weakness for their gain."Morris, take me to the Golden Mansion in Beverly Hills," he said as he stepped into the car."Yes, sir."Inside the car, Alex made a call."Good day, Sir Alex. Julia, your personal concierge, speaking. What can I help you with today?" she greeted him."Do you know where I am?""You’re in the slum area of East Vancouver, right by the wasteland," Julia replied."Great. I want to clean this place up. Make it greener, safer for the people. Provide jobs and education for the unemployed. Let’s say, a permanent social initiative. But I want it to be controlled for at least a year before we let it run on its own.""Thank you for your good intentions," Julia said warmly."There have been ten proposals from local experts and social workers over the last decade to transform that area.”“One proposal, written by a Vancou

    Jasmine was inside the limousine when the thugs stopped her car.A group of them rushed out, attacking the vehicle brutally.The driver locked the doors in fear, frantically calling for help.She had already started to think she wouldn’t survive this time.But suddenly, the doctor who had treated her before appeared, coming to her rescue.Looking at the twenty scary men surrounding the doctor, Jasmine couldn’t believe he could save her.He would only get himself killed.Panic surged through her, and without thinking, she hastily opened the door, stepping out in front of Alex to protect him.“Stop it! I know you're here to kidnap me and demand money from my father!” she yelled.This wasn’t the first time something like this had happened.Being the daughter of Kingston came with dangerous risks.“Just take me and let this doctor go,” she pleaded. She couldn’t bear the thought of this kind, brave doctor dying because of her.The whole group of thugs, including their leader, stared at Jas

    As they fought to escape, desperate to save their own lives, Alex calmly waved his hand.A sudden, crushing aura exploded from him, engulfing the fleeing thugs.It was as if gravity itself had multiplied.Their legs gave out. Muscles refused to respond.Some dropped to their knees instantly, gasping for breath, faces pale.The weaker ones couldn’t hold back, wetting themselves in terror.Suddenly, from up ahead, the sharp crack of gunfire rang out.Ten bullets were fired straight at Alex from a black SUV that had been lying in wait at very front.Six armed men rushed to back up their fallen leader, and without hesitation, they opened fire, their mission clear—kill Alex.The thugs on the ground thought for sure Alex would be taken down.But just as the bullets closed in, they stopped, hanging in mid-air just centimeters from his body, frozen in place as though the laws of physics no longer applied.The thugs gasped.What the hell was this?Before anyone could process what had happened,

    “I wanted to do it alone.” Jasmine replied“Then why not tell your father? He would’ve allowed it—with a team of bodyguards.”Jasmine shook her head.“He told me to rest because of my illness. I’ve told him a hundred times that I’m already cured, but he won’t believe it.”Alex gazed at Jasmine, captivated by her flawless complexion and radiant beauty.Her long, flowing hair framed her face, giving her an ethereal, angelic presence.Yet, behind that beauty, he glimpsed a fierce, untamed spirit flickering in her eyes.She found the courage to rebel in the most unexpected place."Next time, if you're planning to go in a place like this, try wearing something modest—something that won't draw attention," Alex suggested."I've definitely learned a lot from this experience," Jasmine replied cheerfully."You'd better!"“Alex, will you come to my banquet tonight?” she asked hopefully.“Let’s see,” Alex responded, glancing outside with little interest.Jasmine’s eyes lingered on his side profil

    Chris Roland was seated at the dining table with the entire Lancaster family when Amelia, Sophia's grandmother, walked into the dining room.Her eyes lit up as soon as she spotted him."Chris Roland, how is your father, Jerry, doing?" she asked warmly."He's doing great, thanks for asking," Chris replied with a smile."I heard your father not only helped us secure three invitations to the Kingston banquet but also sent a gift to Sophia. I haven't had the chance to thank him personally," Amelia said, somewhat coyly."It's all right," Chris responded. "He's been very busy.""No," Lady Lancaster interjected firmly."It's impolite not to thank him directly. We have our manners to uphold. Please video call your father. I want to thank him personally, and Sophia should as well.""All right," Chris agreed, pulling out his phone and connecting the call to the large screen in the dining room so everyone could see.Jerry's face soon appeared, set against the backdrop of a hotel room."Father,"

    Lady Lancaster shifted in her seat. "Let us think about it first.""Remember," Jerry pressed, "the banquet is tonight, so you’ll need to make a quick decision. And since you’ve already said Chris will marry Sophia, if you give me the money today, I’ll give tell Chris to give BioHealth Solutions to Sophia."The room fell into a stunned silence.The Lancasters were shocked—Chris’s company was significantly larger than their own business."Why?" Lady Lancaster asked, her voice shaking with both greed and disbelief."I’m in Los Angeles right now for the new Elegance & Co. branches," Jerry lied, "and I’ll need Chris’s help to build a new BioHealth company here.”“Since he’s my only son, who better to manage our company in Vancouver than his wife?"Sophia’s mother, Florence, leaned in eagerly. "Mother-in-law, this is a great opportunity for us."Meanwhile, Jerry was already calculating his next move, planning to take out every loan he could under BioHealth Solutions todays and dump the fina

    Sophia felt a sinking sensation, as if she were being asked to betray her grandfather.Suddenly, Mrs. Lancaster interrupted sharply."Sophia, you need to ask that loser for the $100 million back. We need that money to secure Lancaster's future with Kingston.""$100 million?" Sophia's confusion deepened."Word is, you handed that nobody $100 million just for not sleeping with you!" Mrs. Lancaster sneered, her voice dripping with contempt.All eyes in the room snapped to Sophia.Lyra, her voice rising with fury, demanded, "You gave that loser $100 million?!""No!" Sophia quickly defended herself, knowing there had to be some mistake."He was just boasting again. I only gave him $100,000 for accommodation for not seeping here. Where would I even get $100 million?"But Lyra wasn't buying it.She snatched Sophia's phone aggressively. "Let's call him and demand the money back.""But..." Sophia stammered, her voice shaky."No buts. You're divorcing him tonight! Why leave any money with him n

    “Mr. Smith, looks like you’re hell-bent on covering up for your little lapdog, huh?” Alex’s eyes sharpened into slits, simmering with quiet menace.Suddenly, everything clicked into place.It became crystal clear why Hans had strutted around so arrogantly—he had a boss even more corrupt and vile pulling his strings.Just when Alex believed he’d witnessed Hans at his absolute worst, George proved there was a far darker abyss lurking beneath.Rotting trees always collapse from within, and Kingston Pharmaceuticals was clearly infested with poisonous maggots like George and Hans.If these vermin were allowed to thrive unchecked, it would spell doom—not just for quality control, but for every honest worker within the company.They sold medicine that wasn’t even approved for sale—just to stuff their own pockets.They didn’t care if it ruined the reputation of Emerald Elixir.All the millions poured into advertising, all the effort to build something exceptional—shattered by the greed of the

    Alex watched the entire fiasco unfold, a weary sigh escaping him like a man resigned to cleaning up another mess.He had no appetite for trouble, yet fate had other ideas.Still, Clara was Sophia's aunt, and family ties had a way of complicating even the simplest matters.Reluctantly, Alex moved toward Clara, his footsteps heavy with irritation as Hans slithered away unnoticed.Leaning closer, Alex warned quietly, "A little advice—don't gamble with this one. Things aren’t always as bright as they seem."Clara spun around sharply, eyes blazing with contempt as she assessed him from head to toe."Who the hell do you think you are, sticking your nose into everyone's affairs? Jealous, huh? It must burn to see someone actually succeeding while you rot in obscurity.”“You've already destroyed Charles’s future and turned him against his own sister. And now you want to sabotage me, too? Keep dreaming, loser!"Alex's eyes flickered with restrained annoyance, a cold smile ghosting his lips."Fi

    Ten minutes later, Charles emerged, a chillingly composed smile etched onto his handsome face, his attire immaculate once more, betraying no hint of the destructive storm he’d just unleashed.But beneath his polished exterior, Charles burned with an insatiable hunger for revenge.He had to triumph this time—especially considering the astronomical losses he’d inflicted upon his mother due to the failed SkinDews venture, which had bled nearly half a billion from their coffers.Charles knew he had to act fast; his financial lifeblood was slipping away.Pulling out his sleek phone, Charles quickly dialed one of the managers from Kingston.His voice was coldly decisive, leaving no room for hesitation: “That offer you gave me—I’ll accept. Meet me immediately in the meeting hall.”The voice on the other end responded hastily, anxiety apparent. “Right away, sir. I’m coming to you.”A few moments later, a lean, cunning-faced man with narrow eyes approached Charles, bowing obsequiously.It was

    “Well, well, well—if it isn’t Alex! Tell me, are you seriously hoping to snag a distributor deal with Kingston?”Clara sneered venomously, her cold eyes darting downward at Alex as if he were nothing more than dirt under her designer shoes.Alex casually shifted his gaze toward Charles, his voice edged with mockery.“What’s wrong, Charles? Didn’t you tell your friend here exactly who I am?”Clara turned toward Charles, curiosity mingling with disdain in her narrowed eyes.“Charles, what exactly is this grand position he claims?”“Alex?” Charles erupted into contemptuous laughter, the cruel amusement echoing harshly through the room.“Please! He’s nothing but a worthless piece of garbage! He wormed his pathetic way into Jasmine’s bed, becoming her personal boy toy through deception.”“My little sister was naive enough to hand him the title of Chief Physician at Hilton Pharmacy—nothing more than charity for a parasite.”“I believe he begged Jasmine for the position, just to make himself

    “Absolutely not—you don't get to touch my boyfriend!”A fierce voice shattered the tense silence, erupting seemingly out of nowhere, jolting both Sophia and Alex as though lightning had struck."Jasmine?" Alex gasped in disbelief, his eyes widening at the unexpected apparition before him.Without hesitation, Jasmine seized Alex's arm possessively, her emerald eyes blazing dangerously toward Sophia, gleaming with venomous defiance."He's my boyfriend, and you absolutely do not have permission to kiss him. If you insist on waiting for my blessing, prepare yourself—it might come, say, in about a hundred years."Sophia was utterly stunned, paralyzed by Jasmine's sudden and fiery entrance."How on earth are you even here?" Alex questioned, clearly shaken by her sudden arrival.With a pout brimming with indignation and tenderness, Jasmine gently struck his chest—not in anger, but in affectionate reproach."You idiot, I was worried sick about you! I heard Owen was causing trouble and rushed

    Alex recalled vividly that Owen's guards were all lying cold and lifeless in pools of their own blood.“Josephine,” he said, his voice laced with a dark intensity, “when one chooses to walk the shadowed path for too long, they inevitably become the very demons they once feared. Even if he had a shred of decency left, when judgment rains down, he’ll drown in it.”“What are you trying to say?” Josephine’s voice quivered, eyes wide with confusion.“The police already got to them. And given that your so-called kind-hearted bodyguard was standing right alongside Owen, he won't escape the storm that’s coming. The law won’t be merciful.”Josephine’s shoulders sank as she released a weary sigh.“He was supposed to walk away sooner...”Alex softened his tone, compassion mingling with his determination.“Listen, since he tried to help you at the last moment, perhaps we should find his family later and offer them some support. What do you think?”A faint, grateful smile lit Josephine’s face, her

    “Get your pathetic face out of my sight, Scarlett! Every time I lay eyes on you, my blood boils a little hotter, and if you linger any longer.”“Believe me, I might just lose control and kill you right here,” Jericho snarled venomously, his hand sweeping through the air like he was dismissing an annoying insect.“Yes, sir…” Scarlett's voice trembled, her pride crushed beneath his harsh words.She bowed deeply, her face etched with pain and shadowed by shame.Turning swiftly, she hurried away, shoulders hunched with humiliation.Inside her chest, dread coiled tightly, eclipsing even her former rage.Scarlett knew better than to entertain any reckless thoughts this time. If Owen Whitman, powerful and untouchable, had met such a brutal end, what chance did someone like her stand?And with Jericho clearly aligned with Alex now, she knew her family could easily be next on the chopping block.Everyone in town knew Jericho Kane was a lunatic, and lately, he'd grown even more unhinged since l

    Jericho Kane couldn't sleep.Anxiety gnawed at him relentlessly, twisting his stomach in knots.He had explicitly warned his helicopter pilot to avoid any confrontation with Alex, praying silently that no trouble had ensued.But at that very moment, a violent roar pierced through the night air—the unmistakable thunder of helicopter blades slicing the darkness.His pulse quickened as he rushed outside.The chopper descended heavily onto the square, sending dust and leaves spiraling chaotically.The pilot stumbled out, his face ghostly pale, eyes wide with terror.“What happened? Where is Mister Alex?” Jericho demanded urgently, grabbing the pilot's trembling shoulder.The pilot struggled to form words, each one choked out in panic.The more Jericho heard, the more his blood ran cold, a bone-deep dread settling over him like a suffocating fog."Promise me you'll keep everything you've seen tonight a secret," Jericho ordered sharply."Believe me, sir, I want nothing more than to erase th

    “I have the Heaven Root,” Alex sneered coldly, his eyes gleaming like shards of ice as he held Josephine protectively.“If you dare risk your pathetic life for it, then come and claim it!”Yorick's eyes narrowed venomously. He could summon his soldiers to shoot Alex into oblivion—but the Heaven Root was far too precious.A single stray bullet could shatter it.“I'll give you one chance,” Yorick growled, barely controlling his rage.“Hand over the Heaven Root. Or we settle this the hard way.”“Hard way?” Alex chuckled mockingly, confidence radiating from every word.“My one leg alone would be enough to crush you. Step forward—if you dare.”With Josephine tightly clasped to him, he knew he could shield her from any attack. Letting her go was not an option.“Excellent!” Yorick barked, his voice dripping with sarcasm and fury.“If you don’t value your pathetic existence, don’t blame me for your miserable fate. soldiers!
