2026-09-05 21:56:57I drove my car to the address Tim had sent me. A huge flashing neon sign entered my sight. "Cloudy Paradise?" The sign was lit with fuzzy purple lights, giving people a mysterious, romantic, and murky feeling.
This place... did not look very professional. Seeing the ambiance, I had a good idea what this business was. It was not a massage clinic by any means. However, since I already went through the trouble of coming here, I might as well check it out. I had never been to such a place be

The situation escalated. After just two minutes, a gun had been drawn. The people nearby gasped and took a couple steps back subconsciously.It was clear to everyone what was going on. Carl was determined to suck up to the Jones family.Originally, it was just a small conflict. However, when the police intervened, they tried to arrest me by force, escalating the matter first.Then, upon his attempts being thwarted by Steve, Carl even took out his gun and threatened us. The sheer recklessness of his actions could not be expressed in words.When Abe saw a gun being pointed at me, his confidence rose drastically, the sinister smile on his face became more pronounced. "No one has ever disrespected me like that before. You actually slapped me just now. How should I repay you?" Abe suddenly took two steps forward, grinning. He raised his hand slowly, intending to slap me back.Steve frowned and pushed Abe away.Caught off guard, Abe was forced to take several

Abe was incensed at my audacity, but all of this was already within my expectations.Back in the Bluestone Club, I had heard Abe was a rash bully who loved to get into fights. What he was doing now was just the norm.I looked at him again, maintaining my apathetic expression, not a trace of emotion on my face.The Jones family started out in Razor City's energy industry. Business went quite well for them over the past years. They had built up a conglomerate called the Gold Group whose market value exceeded ten billion dollars. The conglomerate also dabbled in other fields such as media, finance, and technology.Out of the four main powers in Razor City, they ranked somewhere in the middle.This was all information I had learned early on. However, what attracted my interest in the Jones family was not their Gold Group, which had a market value of ten billion, but a company the Jones family had just invested in and gained control over, Blossom Technologies.

Listening to Violet's introduction of Amber, I was left tongue-tied. She was only 26, only four years older than me; however, she was already the leader of one of the top conglomerates in the world that was worth hundreds of billions of dollars. This whole thing felt unreal."Amber is attending the charity dinner?" I asked."Yes." Violet nodded. "I don't know why Ms. Excell suddenly came to Razor City. The moment she arrived, all of the major corporations in Razor City were sent into chaos. The Excells are one of the most powerful conglomerates, comparable to the Taylors. To the corporations of Razor City, she is an incredibly important person. It's only natural they sent her an invitation to this charity dinner out of courtesy. However, Ms. Excell actually agreeing to attend was outside their expectations. So, although you're the reason today's charity dinner is being held, there will almost certainly be many people who pay more attention to Ms. Excell. After all, no one

"Phew!" I heaved a sigh of relief and jogged for ten more minutes before finally getting off the treadmill. I smiled at Steve. "Stop flattering me. The Special Forces are an elite group. Everyone there is blessed with an inhumane physique. I'm not on the same level as them."Steve had me lie down on a mat and called my personal masseuse over, who then helped me loosen the knots in my muscles, allowing me to relax.After a super-intensive training session, my muscles had built up a large amount of lactic acid. If I did not undergo a soothing massage, I would end up feeling sore for the next couple of days."So what if they're in the Special Forces? Didn't they all start out as ordinary people? Physique and skills can be obtained through hard work and training. Ultimately, one's willpower is the most important thing!"Steve sat next to me and lamented, "Sir, you really do amaze me. Your willpower is simply extraordinary. Having just watched you overcome your limits

I was not in the mood to walk anymore after being splashed by the water and took a cab back to the Marriott Hotel.In the presidential suite, Violet covered her mouth in amazement when she saw the state I was in."What happened, sir? Did you go for a swim in the river?""Stop teasing me or else I won't let you return to work in the afternoon!" I slapped Violet's buttocks moodily and prepared to get into the bathroom for a shower.However, I was not expecting Violet to smile back at me sweetly with an eager expression instead of showing fear. "Oh? How do you plan to do that, sir?"I stopped in my tracks. "You dare to tease me when you've just lost your virginity a few days ago? Have you forgotten who made you beg for it on the bed that day?"Violet turned speechless and her face flushed up as she muttered, "Who was it again, I wonder? I don't know. My memories aren't clear.""Heh." I smirked and pulled her inside the bathroom amidst her alarmed crie

Screech!I heard the screeching sounds of tires drifting against the street suddenly once I cursed out.The Escalade ahead of me braked and swayed left and right on the street before it stopped after sliding forward three to four meters."It stopped?" I thought, slightly stunned, but I felt anger well up inside me instantly and walked over to it. I wanted to see just who had the nerve to stop the car after splashing water onto me.I sped up my footsteps and arrived beside the Escalade soon. I raised my hand to knock on the window, but it was actually open already, giving me a full view of its interior.The driver also looked out at the same time and locked eyes with me.A woman?However, my eyes widened the moment I saw her, and the fury that filled me almost vanished without a trace. There was only one word that described the woman perfectly, and it was "breathtaking."The woman was around her twenties and had exceptional looks that made it s
