Icy glares and mocking smirks bombarded him from every direction.This so-called class reunion had become a vipers' nest of bootlicking and backstabbing.Exactly why Alaric had refused to come in the first place.What a joke of a gathering—classmates hooking up behind spouses' backs, guys inflating each other's egos, and pathetic dick-measuring contests."Alaric, you didn't even bother telling me you were coming. I could've rolled out the red carpet." Xaiden rose from his plush seat, his designer shoes clicking across the floor as he slung a beefy arm around Alaric's shoulders like they were lifelong pals. "What, my last two invites weren't good enough, but when Nicole asks, you come running? That's cold, man."Alaric's eyes narrowed slightly. Since when had this snake ever invited him anywhere?Wasn't it Yakeem who'd reached out?As they reached the center of the VIP lounge, Xaiden thrust a crystal glass of Bordeaux into Alaric's hand. "Ever

Alaric's brow furrowed. This girl had some serious attitude problems.Got a chip on her shoulder or what?If I were your dad, I'd have smacked you silly by now!"Oh Alaric, this is my girl Caelia," Nicole said with a smirk, her eyes dripping with disdain.What a creep—staring at us like we're the last meal he'll ever see.Caelia curled her lip and fired back, "What're you gawking at, creep? Never seen actual women before?"Alaric just rolled his eyes and tuned them out.Nicole, though, wasn't done yet.Running into a college admirer? Perfect chance to show off.Especially since someone like Jade—campus royalty—had wound up married to this waste of space.Rumor was he'd been drowning in debt these years, marriage on the rocks.Nicole savored the thought, itching to twist the knife.She latched onto Alaric's arm like a barnacle. "Look who we ran into! We're getting coffee."Alaric tried to refuse, but s

"Stay in the car, Mr. Splendor—I'll handle this," Thane growled, punching in a number. "Ender! Get your boys to Logan Village's exit now!"He tossed his suit jacket aside, ripped off his tie, and stormed out with his men. Alaric followed with a dark chuckle, leaving Jade behind despite her protests—what came next wasn't for her eyes."Which motherfucker here's Alaric?!" screeched the ringleader, a weasel-faced thug called Speck who ran protection rackets. He smashed his steel pipe against the Mercedes' hood, leaving a dent. "What, you deaf shits?! Drag Alaric out to kiss my boots! And that bitch Jade—we're taking her back for my crew to break! Nobody leaves until I say so!""You just signed your death warrant!" Thane's voice dropped to subzero as he stepped forward. "Insult Mr. Splendor and his wife again—I dare you."After decades ruling Olympus Reach's underworld, punks like Speck didn't scare Thane. What burned was their disrespect towa

Now that Zayven understood the connection between Alaric and Ethan—which wasn't particularly close—his regard for the younger man evaporated instantly.They'd merely crossed paths at an exhibition. Ethan was clearly overestimating Alaric's worth.That worthless good-for-nothing didn't deserve a second thought.Zayven wasn't the only one waiting with bated breath for Ethan's appraisal. The entire room hung on the expert's every move.Ethan didn't refuse. He opened the brocade box, and the jade thumb ring inside immediately caught his eye—This... this piece was undoubtedly crafted from premium jade!The carving technique and polish suggested late Qing dynasty work, not modern craftsmanship.Ethan whipped out a magnifying glass, examining every millimeter with feverish intensity.The entire drawing room held its breath.What was happening?Could Alaric's gift actually be genuine?Yaacov's pulse spiked, but he qui

"Thane? Which Thane?""Thane Rowen, Chairman of Hearts in Action Charity?""The underground overlord of Olympus Reach, Thane Rowen? Why would he come?"The Logan family relatives and younger generation in the courtyard were still processing the situation when the gathered elites in the inner hall were already on their feet!Compared to tycoons like Ethan Caldwell and nationally renowned collectors, a figure like Thane with underground connections was legendary throughout Olympus Reach!To put it bluntly, if this heavyweight wasn't here to sincerely offer birthday wishes, he must be here to deliver bad news instead.How could Zayven Logan not panic?A man of this stature wasn't someone ordinary people could approach, let alone invite.While everyone stood frozen, Thane strode into the courtyard with his entourage, face lit up with smiles, wearing his trademark white suit and fedora, his intimidating presence making everyone feel like they were
