At the Gavin mansion, Peter Gavin was on a video call with some associates.

“How is the Cleaning Water Company?” he asked.

“There is no problem with Cleaning Water management, but if Gavin can get 51% of the company, we can change some insiders to make it easier for us to pour the poison into the water,” one of the men replied.

“I will try to find a way to buy the company this week,” Peter promised, determined to secure the majority stake.

Peter's first plan was to kill Lucas Sharp, hoping their stock would plummet, allowing him to buy the Cleaning Water Company cheaply.

However, Lucas hadn’t died as planned.

For his second plan, he tried to engage his daughter to the Gray family to get more money and raise his company’s stock.

But it backfired. Nicholas Gray ended up in jail, and Ava Sharp received a penalty settlement, boosting Sharp Company’s stock and causing Gavin’s stock to plummet along with the Gray family’s.

Now, the Sharp family was the top company. The price of Clean Water

    At 10:00 am, Alex entered Sharp’s Mansion.The maid led him to Ava’s room, where she was still pretending to be sick.“Over here, Alex,” Ava called and waved from the balcony.“You look so happy,” Alex remarked as he walked over to her.She was sipping coffee at a table on the balcony, enjoying the serenity. As far as Alex could see, there was a vast garden.The Sharps had one of the largest gardens, with maybe a thousand trees surrounding their mansion.“Yes, it's rare for me to rest. By faking my sickness, I can offload all the work onto my CEO.”Alex sat across from her. Ava Sharp was wearing a white nightgown. Her brown hair was tied in a bun, and the pale skin of her shoulders and neck made Alex breathe heavily.Especially since her top was tightly wrapped around her chest without a bra, Alex could see her nipple and quickly shifted his gaze to another tree.“It is rare for you to call me first,” Ava said, her beauty accentuated by the sunlight, her face looking so peaceful.“I w

    The next day."Have you heard that Lucas Sharp and Ava are sick and they're starting to sell their company?""I heard Lucas is already dead, but they're hiding the fact.""I'm so worried. Is Sharp's business still good to invest in?"Outside the Premier Orchid building, where the banquet was held, a big crowd had gathered, buzzing with questions about Ava selling the Clean Water company.Some speculated that the Sharp family was heading towards bankruptcy due to the leader's health crisis.Peter Gavin stood nearby, smiling as he listened to the crowd speculate about Sharp's downfall.All of this was his doing; he had paid gossip reporters to spread the information.He enjoyed seeing the Sharp business decline, knowing that it would raise Gavin Group stock. It always worked this way.Many business owners in Los Angeles were invited to the occasion.Alex had just arrived with Ava, but she had an insider meeting before the banquet, so Alex had some free time to enjoy the banquet food.As

    Ethan Gavin suddenly got a headache from the new gossip spreading like wildfire in the summer heat."How terrible is Ethan Gavin, asking for a threesome from the White mother and daughter.""Is it true?""If it’s not true, how can Rosemary throw wine in Ethan Gavin’s face?""But she said it was unintentional."The woman laughed. "They must feel ashamed of the gossip and are trying to feign it."The beauty of gossip is that even if it’s not true, the image of the people involved is tarnished.Jasmine and Rosemary tried hard to find Alex’s location so they could kill him for humiliating them. But no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't track him down.Meanwhile, Alex was called to Ava’s meeting room. Everyone else had left, leaving only Ava.“Is there a problem?” Alex asked, noticing she looked tired.“I am losing the investors' belief in me,” Ava said.“There is a rumor about Sharp Group going bankrupt. I think it’s Gavin's doing.”“Why they think like that?” Alex asked in confuse

    After a few information exchanges between Harrison, Lucas, and Ava through a long-distance connection, people started to feel that the business would success.That could only mean the Sharp family would rise higher than they ever imagined.Ava Sharp received all the applause. Surely, all the investors were now more willing to invest in Sharp than in Gavin."And for everyone," Ava Sharp happily continued, "I am going to introduce to you my new partner, a very handsome man. Without him, many things could not have happened. All I can say is that we, the Sharp family, owe him so much."The crowd was once again stirred, wondering who this man could be.Jasmine, standing beside Ethan Gavin, asked, "Ethan, is it possible you made a new partnership with Miss Ava without our knowledge?""Why do you think so?" Ethan replied, his eyebrows raised in surprise."You're the most wealthy, handsome, and outstanding young man. No one else fits that description except you."Ethan was speechless, his mou

    While Ava and Alex were entertaining the guests, everyone seemed eager to invest in Sharp Company.Alex appeared uncomfortable, but Ava kept holding onto his arm, making it hard for him to get away.“Accompany me for a while. My father asked you to meet someone,” Ava said quickly, finishing her conversation and leading Alex to the second floor.In the VIP lounge, Eva Sharp was talking with an older man. The man's eyes were clear and sharp, making him appear younger than his real age.Alex knew people like him possibly practiced martial arts and had learned about inner energy.As Eva noticed Alex, she turned her face away, still feigning anger toward him.“Alex, this is Kane Wood, an expert in traditional medicine and martial arts. He’s also a successful businessman in the medical industry. You can ask him anything about medicine; only the best people can use his services,” Ava said.When Lucas Sharp had fallen sick from poison, they had sought Kane out first, but he couldn’t cure Luca

    Alex lowered his body with Ava behind the parked car. “Stay here, I’ll handle them,” he said, his voice firm.He stood up and yelled, “I have a gun with me, but it’s without a silencer. Do you want me to fire it and attract everyone, or do you want to settle this quietly like men with our fist?”The two men, Peter Gavin's bodyguards, both special forces from Aslan, Lee and Nico, holstered their guns and walked out.Lee sneered, “I like it when you’re confident, Empire soldier.”They approached each other, sizing each other up."So, you're the Aslan bastards who shoot people from behind. Quite the gentlemen, aren't you?" Alex taunted, addressing both of them, noting their Aslan ethic trait.“You really know how to dig your own grave, don’t you? Fucking Empire,” Lee and Nico smirked, feeling confident they could kill Alex anytime they wanted.“We don’t know whose grave I’m digging, right? Because I’ve dug two graves, just for you,” Alex replied, his eyes burning with determination.Just

    While the military shooting the martial artist, Alex made his move to find Ava Sharp, who had witnessed everything from afar.“Don’t you think it’s time to get home?” Alex asked.“Sure.”They both entered the car, and Ava drove it passing the soldiers and all the chaos behind.“Alex, how come the soldiers were there?”“The citizens reported to the police that suddenly a lot of martial artists with weapon rushed at the banquet building 30 minutes ago. So, the soldiers came to prepare for the worst. Since we know each other, the leader asked me to check if anything happened inside the banquet hall and report if I found trouble.”Ava smiled and stared at Alex, her eyes full of curiosity. “Did you have to shoot Ethan’s ass? And why did the other soldiers also shoot the martial artists asses?”He smiled, “Just to make sure they couldn’t sit comfortably for a few months.”“But I think this won’t end here.”“Why?”“Peter Gavin has many connections with the military, especially with that part

    The restaurant fell silent. Jasmine stepped forward, her voice trembling. "We are the White family. What do you want?"The leader of the soldiers stepped forward, a smirk on his face. "It's simple. Lily White, Rosemary White, Jasmine White—three of you are coming with us."The big family that had been trying to get closer to them suddenly stepped away as if the three of them were carrying a contagious disease.Lily's mother gasped, clutching Lily's arm. "Officer, what is the meaning of this?"“What is your name?” the officer asked.“Rosemary,” she replied.“Then who are Lily and Jasmine?” The soldiers could clearly see the uneasy glances from the other people directed at the three women nearby.“What is all of this about?” Rosemary asked again, her voice filled with anxiety.“We got a report that three of you have been collaborating with Aslan. You are accused of being spies planted by Aslan. Come with us to assist in the investigation, or we will have to force you,” the officer decla

    Meanwhile, Ophelia stood anxiously in the crowded hall, surrounded by people all impatiently waiting for their appointments.A few guests recognized her right away. Their eyes narrowed with contempt as they leaned toward each other, whispering loud enough for her to hear every cruel word.“Oh look, isn’t that the granddaughter of Viscountess D’Arcy?” one noblewoman said with a sneer, her voice oozing mockery.“The D’Arcy family has one foot in the grave, yet they still shamelessly show up here hoping to grab a piece of the Golden Guild project.”“I heard the old viscountess married her granddaughter off to the poorest baron in Haventon. Pathetic. And now she’s here? Maybe she should be peddling potions in the back alleys instead.”Those bitter words quickly drew attention, and the gathered elite cast scornful eyes at Ophelia, barely hiding their cruel amusement behind silk fans and smirks of mockery.Ophelia tightened her fists till her nails bit deeply into her palms.She muttered so

    Ophelia D’Arcy's voice sliced through the tense air like sharpened ice, her gaze colder than frostbite as she snapped, “I'm sorry, Grandpa Carrillo, but I don’t recall ever needing your help. And watch your filthy mouth! You're old enough to have grandchildren who are my friends—don't you have a shred of dignity left?”Robert Carrillo stood there stunned, his jaw hanging slack in disbelief.Rage and confusion battled across his wrinkled face. “Ophelia, I’m doing you a favor! Why are you still defending this worthless fool? Wake up and see reality—yes, I'm older, but I have wealth that could drown this pathetic bastard. What could he possibly offer you?”Alex Leonhard’s eyes flashed dangerously as he seized a glass from the table and hurled its icy contents straight into Robert's startled face.Dripping with chilling menace, Alex warned softly, “Better wake up, old man. Consider that a kindness—if I'd struck you with my hand, you’d already be dead.”“You insolent bastard!” Robert sputt

    Looking at her parents, who were mercilessly ridiculing Alex Leonhard, Ophelia D’Arcy let out an exasperated sigh. Her voice, trembling with emotion yet fiercely determined, interrupted the mockery.“Dad, Mom, stop blaming Alex for everything. It was my decision. I just can't bear seeing our family mocked and humiliated any longer.”“Haven’t we endured enough shame all these miserable years?"Her voice softened slightly, eyes distant with a glimmer of uncertain hope."Besides, grandmother won't accept any more excuses this time. Someone has to step up to the challenge. Who knows? Maybe fortune will finally smile upon me.”Ophelia’s mother, incredulous and visibly panicked, blurted out harshly, “Have you lost your mind?”“Even if your grandmother herself crawled on her knees, begging at their gates, they wouldn't even glance her way! You’ll bring nothing home but disgrace!”Her father's eyes hardened as he snapped sharply, “Ophelia this time you made a mistake.”From the sidelines, Ale

    Ophelia nearly leaped from her seat in shock, her eyes bulging wide as she whispered harshly, "Alex, have you gone completely mad? It’s utterly impossible! The Golden Guild would never partner with an insignificant family like ours!"But Alex merely smiled, calm and unnaturally confident, his voice steady as he whispered persuasively, "Relax, Ophelia. You’re always saying I’m nothing more than a jobless fool. So why not let this fool try?”“I'll prepare the proposal. It'll carry your name—who knows? Maybe fortune will finally smile upon us.""Alex—" Ophelia hesitated, uncertainty wavering in her voice."Come now, Ophelia," Alex urged more insistently, eyes blazing with unexpected determination."We have nothing left to lose, and everything to gain. At worst, we fail quietly, but at best—we rise triumphantly.”“Besides, look at your grandmother. She’ll erupt into flames if no one steps up."Ophelia felt herself slipping into resignation—after all, they were already at the bottom.What

    “Fine,” Alex exhaled deeply, the weight of guilt hidden beneath his stoic exterior. “Exactly how much is this damned debt?”“Half a million,” Peter replied tersely.“And?” Alex pressed impatiently.“I've settled them all. I refuse to attend university while people whisper that I still owe money.”With a dramatic flourish, Alex swung his bag onto the table, swiftly drawing out half a million dollars in crisp bills and slamming them down.Peter and Yuri stared, mouths agape.“Take this cash and get yourselves to university immediately!”“Where did you get this money?” Yuri gasped, eyes wide with disbelief.“I won it gambling,” Alex smirked devilishly. “Now leave before I gamble it all away again!”Peter snatched the money greedily, gripping it tightly. Yuri paused at the threshold, turning back briefly, whispering softly, “Thank you.”She bolted out into the night.Soon after, Ophelia approached Alex, urgency blazing in her eyes. “Alex, Grandma’s summoned us to the D’Arcy mansion.

    “You're right…” Michael whispered hoarsely, his voice dripping with bitter resignation.He dropped his gaze to the floor, unable to meet anyone’s eyes as he imagined the volcanic fury that would soon erupt from his father and his grandfather Baron Dunsmore.He had utterly destroyed their family’s empire in one reckless move.He could already see their grand barony plunging into poverty, spiraling down into disgrace, just like Alex Leonhard’s pitiful house."I—I have to get home. Immediately," Michael stammered, dread gripping his heart like an iron fist.In no time at all, scandalous whispers stormed through the streets of Haventon, spreading faster than wildfire—The Golden Guild had brutally expelled the proud Dunsmore family.Rumors flew thick and vicious, speculation rife with venom.Though no one knew exactly what grave sin had provoked the Guild’s wrath, it was clear the Dunsmores had committed an unforgivable transgression.Overnight, their vast fortune shriveled, their lofty st

    Inside the Golden Guild.The vastness struck Alex like a cathedral of wealth—marble pillars soared skyward, each one gleaming under a vaulted ceiling etched with ornate carvings.The hall buzzed like a gilded hive, sleek-suited tellers moving behind golden-trimmed counters with surgical precision.A cool blend of polished oak and metallic sharpness filled the air, mingling seamlessly with the rhythmic murmur of transactions and the musical clink of coins exchanged.Alex stepped forward, the soft click of his boots echoing defiantly on the glossy marble floor.His eyes darted through ornate signage until they landed decisively upon a gleaming plaque: "Item Appraisal & Acquisition."Three counters lay before him, each more exclusive than the last.The first brimmed with commoners clutching cheap trinkets, buzzing impatiently with bargains under hundred credits.The second hosted more composed merchants, quietly guarding wares of moderate value.Yet it was the third counter, isolated at

    The next morning, Alex awoke at his usual early hour, greeted by the startling silence of the noble household.He was struck by the realization that these privileged creatures never rose before the sun had fully taken its throne in the sky.Shaking off his surprise, Alex swiftly prepared breakfast, careful to include dishes lavish enough for his wife and, inevitably, his demanding mother and father-in-law.His eyes fell upon the old bicycle gathering dust in the storage room, which, with just a few deft adjustments, was ready once again for action.After an hour-long journey that tested his endurance, Alex finally arrived at the imposing gates of The Golden Guild.He carefully parked the bicycle at the edge of the opulent parking lot, just as a gleaming luxury car slid arrogantly into the spot directly opposite him.Alex's heart sank as he watched a sharply-dressed couple emerge from the luxury vehicle.The man wore an impeccably tailored suit, exuding wealth and superiority, while th
