The pot-bellied man couldn't believe his ears. He was surprised that Roderick was still very arrogant in front of Caleb Houston.Was he out of his mind, or was he just tired of breathing?He couldn't help but bark at Roderick, "Do you realize who is standing before you?! Mr. Houston of the Big Four in Glacia City? Are you out of your mind to make a threat in front of him?"Roderick's gaze was on Caleb when the pot-bellied man said this. He noticed how confidence grew on Caleb's face as the man barked.Then, Roderick turned to the pot-bellied man and said, "You shouldn't be in a haste, man. I will make sure you feed on the sand very soon. That's the only business I have with you."Embarrassment washed over the man's face right away. He was supposed to fight for face immediately, but Roderick had already turned to Caleb."Choose one of the options I laid out for you, or do you need my help to make the best choice for you?"Roderick's voice was assertive and bold.Caleb felt a sudden str

All the workers had their eyes glued to their colleague in shock as he flew through the air a great distance after just a slap. In a moment, his body hit the floor with a thump, and almost all his bones were damaged."Huh?!" The pot-bellied man was the most shocked of them all. He couldn't understand how on earth a slap could send someone flying through the air such a great distance."Hurry up and check on him!" he quickly ordered his men before turning to Roderick. He pointed an angry finger at him and swore."You didn't just come to claim land that doesn’t belong to you, but you also harmed my worker. I swear on my life that I will make you regret this."The pot-bellied man expected his threat to make Roderick immediately plead with him. To his surprise, Roderick only stood and watched him, anticipating whatever the man was capable of.This hurt him deeply, as he felt powerless. He had thought his threat would work magic, but nothing happened.Then, he tried again. "I know you must

A few days later, Roderick was at Lily Garden when Tony brought a report to him concerning Jonah's current location."My lord, after thorough research, I was able to discover Jonah's whereabouts."Roderick slowly turned to Tony and signaled him to spill the beans. "Where is he?""My research shows that he's nearby, in Meadow City."Roderick was amused to learn this. He couldn't believe that despite the huge amount of money Jonah had stolen from the Santos family, the only place he could think of to hide was Meadow City.It's quite ridiculous.Roderick had visited Meadow City a few days ago. If he had known about Jonah’s crime earlier, he would have taken his time to find him in the city and teach him a lesson.Well, there's nothing to worry about. Even if he hides in an ant hole in Meadow City, he would be caught in no time.Tony noticed how his boss had been silent since he shared the information. Then he proposed, "My lord, I will leave now to get him. I promise to have him tied lik

Caleb wailed in deep pain and nearly fell from his seat before Jacob moved closer to him to support him."Jacob, tell me this is a dream?!" Caleb was more overwhelmed by the pain than he had been previously.This was because it had now become clearer to him that he had truly lost two hundred and fifty million dollars, and there was nothing he could do to help himself."I will be frank with you. This is happening in reality. You just have to take heart." Jacob's response made Caleb feel a quick strike in his heart.He couldn't believe it. Didn't it mean that his rank among the Big Four had automatically dropped, too?Caleb nearly went mad at the thought.This time, he was able to understand why the Bolton Group didn't respond to his proposal. He even felt foolish for making such a proposal to them, not knowing the news he thought they hadn't heard was already the talk of the city.Caleb regretted proposing the useless land at Bellmore this time.He knew the Bolton Group would see him a

Meanwhile, Christina was in her office at that moment, totally devastated.She had become completely restless since the news about the land reached her.She greatly regretted forcing Roderick to pay for the land earlier that day. Most of all, she saw herself as foolish for letting go of the land documents to Roderick.She thought that she was supposed to force Roderick to pay for the land while seizing the documents for herself.After having this thought, she slapped herself hard on the thigh, finding it illogical.She had to scold herself for being ignorant of how the land had become valuable now.She couldn't deny the fact that if she had known the land would become valuable soon, she wouldn't have sold it to Roderick—let alone thinking of squeezing ten million dollars out of him while keeping the documents to herself.The most frustrating matter for Christina now was the bet she had made with Roderick.She deeply regretted taking the bet that she would go back to Roderick to beg fo

At this time, Caleb Houston was in his office reading news on a secret website where first-hand information is published. This website is very limited to a few people, especially influential ones.The website serves more like a spy. It's where they get information earlier before it finally goes viral. Sometimes, the news remains a secret.He was sipping his tea as he scrolled through the website.Just then, he came across news about the government's development plans for the land at Tuchel Avenue and its surroundings.Caleb was instantly stunned to see this.
