With only a few light bulbs remaining on the first floor, he swiftly completed the task.
Then, he made his way outside to wash the two cars belonging to his wife and mother-in-law.Passing by Zale as he washed the car, a burly male servant couldn't resist mocking him, ridiculing his helpless state.The insults from his in-laws were already unbearable, but the mockery from the mansion's servants added to his distress.Aware of his powerlessness, the servants took every opportunity to taunt him when he was alone.Zale's anger flared up as he glanced at the servant, but he quickly redirected his focus to the car."I'll endure all of this because of you, my love," he muttered, calming his raging heart.After an hour, he finished washing the two cars and hurriedly proceeded to his room to prepare for work.However, on his way to his room, he stumbled upon someone that further delayed him by a couple of minutes."Hey, stop right there, loser. Where do you think you're going?" Adams jeered, blocking Zale's path.Adams was a son-in-law just like Zale. He was married to the eldest daughter of the Jenkins family, whereas Zale was married to the youngest daughter, Sasha.Both Zale and Adams held the status of live-in sons-in-law within the Jenkins family, residing together in the ancestral mansion of the Jenkins family, though didn't receive equal treatment.Adams, CEO of one of the most successful multi-million dollar companies in the city, possessed a noteworthy professional position, unlike Zale.However, there was more to his story than just his corporate achievements.Adams's prosperity could be directly attributed to his marriage to the Jenkins family.Before marrying his wife, he operated a modest small business.However, following the marriage, his circumstances and social standing underwent a significant transformation.This union provided Adams with a unique opportunity to manage a company of considerable stature and enjoy the privileges associated with his marriage to the affluent and influential Jenkins lineage.It's worth noting that everything Adams owes actually belongs to Azazel Jenkins, the head of the Jenkins family.The only reason Adams received different treatment from Zale was because of his extraordinary skills in the field of business.His remarkable marketing skills drove the Jenkins Group to more and more profits and in the process earned their respect.Zale's expression contorted into a frown as Adams blocked his path."Get the fuck out my way, Adams. I don't have your time this morning. I'm late for work." As he said that, he tried shoving his body through the little opening beside Adams, but it ended up being blocked away by Adam.In a condescending manner and with a mocking grin, Adams retorted, "I have repeatedly emphasized, Zale, the importance of showing respect when addressing me. We exist in different echelons, and we share no similarities. Do you understand?""Like I said, I don't have time for this, Adams. We can continue this some other time, but right now, I really need to get ready for work," Zale articulated before he made an attempt to get away again, but like before, Adam obstructed him with his body.Zale sighed frustratedly with dropped shoulders. He then asked, "Tell me, what do you want, asshole?"The grin on Adams's face widened when he heard that. "Now you're talking, loser." He then took out his car key from his pocket and attempted to slide it into Zale's hand, but Zale swiftly withdrew his hand before the key could touch his hand. "Hurry up, take it. This is my car key. I want you to wash my car. I watched from my room as you washed those cars and I must say, you really got some car-washing skills. I expect nothing less from you, low-life."An inexplicable surge of anger rippled inside Zale when he heard all that and instantly, he had the urge to punch Adams in the face until his entire facial bone was completely distorted, but he decided not to act on his urges."Get out of my way right now, or else, you'll regret it! And trust me, I won't spare your handsome face this time," Zale threatened in a booming voice. His demeanor had taken a complete turn; fury was evident in his body language and aura.Adams was about to ignore Zale's threat when he halted abruptly, his recollection of the previous encounter where Zale had fiercely beaten him up fresh in his mind.For some inexplicable reason, fear gripped him as he stared deep into Zale's eyes and saw how deadly serious and infuriated he was.Without wasting time, he stepped aside, allowing Zale to pass.Zale continued on his way without uttering another word."That idiot! How dare he threaten me? I will deal with him later," Adams murmured in frustration before he ran along.

CHAPTER 180
As Zale and Ace ventured beyond the gate, the air hung heavy with tension. They arrived in front of the mansion, which was guarded by three security guards.The guards were slightly taken aback when they saw Zale and Ace.Their comrades at the gate hadn't informed them of the arrival of any guest, so they were confused.They didn't have the slightest idea of the fight that had taken place outside; they were completely oblivious.The guard, who appeared to the leader, stepped forward and asked, “Who might you be, sirs?” His voice was polite and respectful.He thought that if his companion had allowed Zale and Ace entry, it meant they were esteemed guests of honor.Ace glanced at Zale and upon seeing the hidden smirk on his face, he understood what was going to happen.“We are honorable guests of your boss. Should you really be standing here asking questions or just step out of the way?” Zale asked, his voice stern.The guard shivered slightly when he felt Zale's gaze on him. “I…I’m so
CHAPTER 179
The guard's eyes widened in shock, his expression transforming into a lethal glare directed at Zale."Who the hell are you, you bastard?" Despite his astonishment, fury seethed in his voice.Zale chuckled softly before responding, "I'm just someone who wishes to see your boss. We can avoid all of this if you tell your colleagues to let me in."The guard's eyes ignited with rage as he retorted, "Bullshit! If you don't want to leave peacefully, I will make you leave myself."The tension escalated, drawing the attention of the other guards who became alert to the hostility emanating from Zale.They stood ready, poised to open fire at a moment's notice if the need arose.Ace moved in closer to Zale and whispered in his ear, "I don't know what you're trying to do, but these guys are well-armed. I trust your decisions, but I must admit we are clearly at a disadvantage here. The shadow guards are nearby. I can send them a message, and they will take out these guys."Zale nodded, seemingly in
CHAPTER 178
In the aftermath of the charged meeting, Zale and Ace headed outside the building, toward the mansion.Zale's mind swirled with a mixture of determination and uncertainty, while Ace, ever stoic, maintained a vigilant presence.As they arrived in front of the mansion, Zale’s phone vibrated in his pocket. It was his grandfather."Zale," Oracle's voice resonated. For the first time in a long time, he called Zale by his name. "I've been monitoring the meeting. Bane's words have validity. Are you certain about this path you're taking?"Zale, undeterred, responded, "I've made my choice, Grandpa. This is a battle I must face, not just for myself, but for those who've suffered unjustly."The last part was talking about Oracle. The old man had gone through a series of emotional breakdowns after his son and his daughter-in-law died. It was one hell of a torture at that time.Oracle let out a sigh, a blend of regret and understanding in his simulated eyes. "I cannot dissuade you, but remember th
CHAPTER 177
The following day, Zale gathered his closest allies in a private meeting. The meeting took place in one of the buildings in Oracle's estate.The atmosphere was charged with tension as he addressed them, laying out the challenges they faced and the imminent battle against Asper.A middle-aged man interjected, "I don't harbor personal grudges against Asper, but I'm willing to assist you."Another guest joined the conversation, expressing disdain, "That kid is a rude brat. I recall the first day he invited me to his place. He subjected me to the worst humiliation of my life. I can never forget that day. Count me in; I'm ready to join and bring him down.”"While I don't hold a personal grudge against Asper, many of his allies are my enemies. Participating in this battle, I aim to indirectly confront my enemies.” Gradually, each person in the room consented to join the battle.Zale sat at the table's forefront, wearing a smile.Once he explained the purpose of the gathering, he observed as
CHAPTER 176
About an hour or so later, Zale arrived at Oracle's estate.Zale went straight to his room the second he entered the mansion.He freshened up and changed his clothes. When he was done, he headed downstairs and had his breakfast.“Where were you last night, sir?” Leia inquired as they strolled out of the dining room.As usual, they were the only ones in the dining hall. Ace was said to have gone out of the mansion early in the morning.Zale chuckled mischievously. “Why, you miss me?”“Cough!” Leia feigned a cough and changed the subject.“Anyway, how did last night go?” She asked, curious.“If you're talking about your performance, I must admit; you did….” Zale began, but Leia cut in."Not that, sir. Ace has already filled me in on that a million times," Leia interjected with a pout. "You know what I'm referring to.”Zale paused as if thinking about it. “Are you by any chance asking about what happened between me and my girlfriend?” His smile had taken a mischievous glint.Leia let out
CHAPTER 175
Zale headed straight back to Oracle’s estate. He needed to have a serious conversation with Ace.He couldn't wait any longer. Asper had begun his move and he wouldn't just sit back and watch.“Now I have stopped to think about it, what later happened to Adams? I didn't see him again last night. I guess the security threw him out. After all, he had attacked me,” Zale muttered, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.‘Does this mean others now know about me?’ Zale mused excitedly.It was pretty easy to guess; Adams wouldn't keep what he saw last night to himself.Zale made it pretty clear last night that he was the one behind all of Jenkins's misfortune, so Adams would most certainly not keep quiet about it.“I’m glad things turned out this way. Although I doubt Adams' words would be enough to convince them.” Zale seemed pleased by the fact that he stumbled upon Adams last night.He didn't plan to suddenly show up claiming to be the new chairman of Adair Group. To him, that wouldn't be
