Jackson sat at the head of the conference table, impatiently tapping his fingers against the polished surface.His expression grew darker with every passing minute.“What the hell is all this about?” he finally snapped. “You called me here for a meeting, yet the CEO refuses to show up?”The board members exchanged uneasy glances.Jackson leaned forward.“Look, you already know who I am. You know everything about me. And perhaps my father never had another son after all, since nobody has ever even seen this mysterious CEO.”His eyes swept across the room.“Maybe I'm even the one.”One of the board leaders calmly raised his hand.“You need to calm down. The CEO is on his way.”Jackson scoffed.,“On his way? Then why—”Before he could finish, the conference-room doors suddenly opened.Everyone immediately turned toward the entrance.For a moment, several board members almost stood up.Some of them had never properly seen the mysterious CEO's face. They had only communicated with him thro

Cory's face immediately twisted with rage.“How dare you slap me?”He stepped forward and raised his hand, intending to slap Natalie back.But before he could do anything, Marcus caught his wrist.Cory's eyes widened.“What the fuck? Let me go!”Marcus tightened his grip.“You should be grateful she only slapped you.”Cory struggled against him, but Marcus didn't release him.Julia frowned deeply.“Cory, are you crazy right now? You deserved to be slapped even worse! I don't know what happened to you. You've completely changed.”Cory's breathing gradually slowed.He looked around the lobby and realized everyone was staring at him. The anger in his face slowly disappeared, replaced by embarrassment.He pulled his hand away from Marcus and straightened his clothes.“Fine.”He tried to act calm, but his face was still burning with humiliation.Just then, a man approached from across the lobby.Cory recognized him immediately.His expression changed.It was Mr. Robert, one of Langstone's

Julia's face immediately brightened when she saw Marcus. She smiled genuinely and took a small step forward, clearly happy to see him. “Marcus,” she said warmly. “What are you doing here?” Cory, however, had a completely different reaction. The moment his eyes landed on Marcus, his expression darkened. His jaw tightened, and anger began to build inside him. Ever since their previous confrontation, he had been unable to swallow the humiliation Marcus had caused him. Cory glanced at Natalie, then looked back at Marcus with a mocking smile. “Well, look at this,” he said loudly. “He came here with a woman and they're coming out of a hotel together.” Julia's smile disappeared. Cory continued, his voice becoming more provocative. “So what else are we supposed to think? He's probably here to sleep with her.” Julia immediately frowned. “Cory. Come on. Don't be ridiculous. That's a terrible thing to say.” She looked at Marcus, and despite Cory's accusation, she knew deep down that Mar

Marcus was genuinely stunned by what he had just heard. His father had apparently saved the life of the country's president, and now that same man was standing before him and bowing with such respect.For the first time, Marcus realized just how extraordinary his father must have been.The president smiled and gestured toward the luxurious seating area. “Please, Young Master. Have a seat. Let me offer you something to drink.”Marcus and Natalie sat down as several attendants quickly brought them tea and refreshments. President Iris sat opposite Marcus, his expression becoming more serious.Marcus took a sip before finally asking, “Your Excellency, I understand that you respected my father. But why are you giving me this kind of honor? Why did you go this far just to meet me?”President Iris placed his cup down. “Because I need your help.”Marcus frowned. “My help?”“Yes.” Iris nodded. “I want to give you several missions.”Marcus's expression immediately became cautious. “What kind o

Natalie suddenly pulled the car over to the side of the road.Marcus frowned and looked at her. “Why did you stop? What happened?”Natalie turned toward him, her expression serious. “It’s from Mr. Robert. He said it’s very urgent. We have to meet him before we go to the board meeting.”Marcus frowned even deeper. Mr. Robert was one of the senior board leaders, and more importantly, he was one of the few people who knew Marcus’s true identity. If a man like him had suddenly demanded an urgent meeting, something serious must have happened.“What’s so important that it can’t wait?” Marcus asked. “Jackson might do something stupid while we’re wasting time.”“Mr. Robert will take care of that,” Natalie replied calmly. “But he specifically told me that we have to meet him first. He wouldn’t have insisted if it wasn’t important.”Marcus remained silent for a moment before finally nodding. “Fine. Let’s go.”Natalie started the car again, and they continued down the road. Several minutes later

Marcus sighed, breathing heavily as he gazed down at Hades's lifeless body. His chest rose and fell as the last traces of his cultivation energy slowly faded. Then he looked toward the other side of the building. His men had already overwhelmed Jace's remaining forces. The floor was littered with weapons and bodies, while several wounded men groaned in pain. Blood stained the walls and spread across the floor, but the battle was finally over. They had won. Natalie immediately called several men over. “Pack up the bodies. All of them. We can't involve the police in this.” The men nodded and quickly began gathering the corpses and clearing the evidence of the battle. Natalie then walked toward Marcus. “Are you okay?” Marcus nodded. “You know me. I heal faster than normal. I'm fine. What about you?” Natalie nodded as well. “I'm fine.” Marcus glanced around the room before looking at the bodies. “So these are the people who killed Father?”, Natalie asked. “Yes, They did it b
