“Ooh, is that so?” August raised a brow at him, amused by the amount of money he took and was intending to flee. Five hundred million was quite a huge sum and August was certain that it was either half of the company's annual income or it was one quarter. Yet, this man wanted to flee with it like it was his? Were people like him always this rotten?

“I…” Ayden tried saying something but nothing was coming out of his mouth. He saw this as a good opportunity to leave this place and become rich. His salary was only five hundred thousand dollars yearly, and he felt it wasn’t enough. All he had to do was embezzle the company's resources and then try to cover it as much as he could, perhaps until he had left the country.

He never expected that August would catch him so fast and in just their first encounter. Just who in the world is this man? Ayden was already shivering as though his body were going to melt.

“Please forgive me, it’s the work of the devil. I haven’t used the money. I can stil

  • A forbidden apple

    August became the subject of attention, and even the camera and phones that were meant to record the speech given by Gavin, were now directed at August. This was the brutal man they saw in that video who went on a killing spree. At first, he might not look dangerous, but who would be a fool to believe he was? This man was highly skilled; his moves in that video proved it, and what was more, he was the chairman of Apex Corporation.“August Reed, it’s bold of you to show your face here after everything you have done.” This was the first time Gaven had met with August, but it felt like they were sworn enemies already.“Old fat punk, one more word from you and—” David cursed.“And who is that man you are holding? Another of your victims? You will shamelessly commit such an act even in public? You must be his accomplice, I can see.” Gaven cut David off at once and used Jerry's condition to condemn him.David's expression darkened. He didn't expect Gaven to suddenly say such, and the medi

  • A threat to all of us!

    “We all know that Apex Corporation has had a change of ownership for a month now. The new owner isn’t a citizen of this country, and what's worse, he had been bribing my workers, sabotaging our projects, and stealing our designs, which he had been using for his clients.”"In fact, the wang project was originally crafted by my company, not until it was stolen and used by him. I couldn’t approach this man, as I heard he was very dangerous and was likely to kill me.”As Gaven began explaining, all of a sudden, his eyes, which were glinting with excitement, suddenly portrayed tears. For the story to be worth believing, he had to make sure to attract enough sympathy. That was what he felt. Just as he predicted, that was what was happening. Everyone had shocked expressions on their faces as they heard this revelation. In fact, everyone knew how famous the Wang project was. The design was like no other.By the time it was done, it could be considered to be among the top buildings in the ent

  • The conference

    A feminine voice erupted. August looked at the cell door, wondering what she wanted to say to him. He could already guess that he was Mia and perhaps also guess what she might want to say. Did she want to plead, or what?“I don’t have time for this.” August looked away. He had a conference to disrupt as some people had decided to mess with him. As for Mia, she and her crew were the cause of this. Should he even listen to her? He might take out his anger and perhaps snap her neck.“Hand them to the police!” He added with a stern look as he turned towards Ayden.“Yes, boss.” Ayden nodded before August walked away. The former was also angry at these people, but since this issue had started whenever he was in August's presence, he couldn’t help but be nervous.Though he had questions to ask about Maxwell, who was here earlier, did he dare to ask anything about that? By now he had broken into a sweat already. He felt that he might trigger August's anger and in the end, he would lash

  • The security division

    “What’s wrong, Lisa?” August asked as soon as he noticed the change of expression on her face. Well, not that it changed, it got worse, giving off the impression that something worse had just happened.Lisa looked up at him. Her lips trembled a bit. “The Mystic Corps manager has just made a post that there will be a conference in twenty minutes.”She said at first and gulped to adjust her breathing pace before she could continue. As for August, what she said didn’t add up to anything, at least not yet, until she uttered her next words.“He said he wants to announce to the public that a certain company stole their formulas and designs years ago. And also hinted that he has proof.”“Bastard! He intends to exploit the data he got for his own gain? He seems to be a sly fox, huh?” August said.“What do we do now? Jerry, is the cause of all this. We should be giving him the beating of his life.” The more Lisa thought about it, the angrier she got by the second.“I’ll deal with this. Go ba

  • You worry too much!

    Maxwell felt like he was being drenched in cold water. How could those words have so much effect that it was able to affect his well-being? It was now feeling like August was stronger than him even though he had yet to test the waters. A frown emerged on his face, and he looked away. “And you have less than twenty-four hours to leave this country. All your properties will be confiscated too.” With that, he walked away. At once, David sneered. “I wish I could snap his neck in two!” He grabbed a flower vase by the side and smashed it on the floor. Anger had consumed him whole. He was filled with so much rage that he craved wreaking havoc on the entire place.August looked at him and quickly spoke. “Stop that. And so what? When have I ever been suppressed by such nonsense?” He asked.“This matter is quite serious, August. I know you are strong, but can you stand a few gods of war sent to you? Even the entire dragon unit won’t be able to. We are talking about people who have achieved

  • We are now enemies!

    Now it became like August wanted to interrogate him. His movement, his actions—though it might not seem like he was arrogant, it didn’t look like he feared anything at all.That was expected since he was such a strong man, given his age and what he was able to achieve. Maxwell began to feel that things might not go well. He had heard so much about this man, and none of them were welcoming at all.“You wanted to see me? I am here now.” August said casually.Maxwell looked at him before his gaze shifted to David, who was now leaning against the wall close to the entrance; his eyes then moved back to August, and a loud sigh escaped his lips.He was contemplating how he was supposed to start what he wanted to say. After a while, he decided to just say what was on his mind.“August, you can have a bright future, but first you need to relinquish your quest for vengeance. You can build your life and start all over. If you can do this, I can hand over Oakdale's military to you.” Maxwell said.
