Chapter 1: Return of Arthur

At Sosun Airport, the largest airport in Eldora, a military helicopter landed on a large vacant area.

However, there was no attendant or anyone around.

It seemed that they had received prior instructions, so no one dared to approach and disturb the people inside the helicopter.

Arthur descended from the helicopter.

He was dressed in a simple outfit, yet his tall and handsome figure made it extraordinary.

He arrived and departed quietly.

He put on sunglasses and walked out of the airport.

The city's scenery unfolded in Arthur's eyes, prompting him to exclaim.

"It's been three years...

nostalgia was in those words while sarcasm on his face.

He finally came back, where he achieved great success and his failure was buried...

Arthur shook his head and hailed a taxi.

Arthur said as he got into the car, "Sun Rise Corporation, please."

The driver, who seemed experienced and elderly, smiled and said.

"You mean the highly prosperous Sun Sire Corporation from three years ago?"

Arthur quickly replied, "Yes, that's it."

The driver immediately chuckled and said.

"You must have been away from this city for a long time. The Sun Rise Corporation has already been renamed as Willingness Company."

Arthur narrowed his eyes and maintained a smile as he said.

"Just drive me there."

The driver nodded and quickly pressed on the accelerator.

The car navigated through the bustling city.

Arthur sat silently, gazing out of the window.

He knew that the renaming of the corporation was undoubtedly related to his good-for-nothing younger brother.

His brother was still impulsive and greedy, attempting to turn the Sun Rise Corporation into his own.

At that moment, the driver's voice suddenly echoed in the car.

"Now that you know about the Sun Rise Corporation, then you must have been in this city three years ago, right?"

Arthur smiled and nodded, "That's right."

The driver then continued.

"I don't know if you know this, which caused a great uproar among the city's upper class at that time.

The founder of Sun Rise, a young man, was talent in business and achieved great success.

However, he was finally imprisoned for rape..."

The driver cheerfully spoke, unaware of Arthur's icy gaze. 

Arthur smiled and said casually.

"I never heard about such a story."

The driver wanted to continue the conversation but, for some reason, felt a chill down his spine.

His instincts told him not to dwell on this topic any further.

The car quickly arrived at the Sun Rise Corporation, now known as the Willingness Company.

Arthur looked at it and a contemptuous smile appeared on his face.

Just as he was about to enter the company, his phone rang.

It was an unknown number, but Arthur didn't hesitate to answer.

A woman's voice quickly sounded.

"Lord Hastings. This is Scarlet, working for the Hastings in Eldora.

May I know where you are?"

Arthur replied, "At the Willingness."

Scarlet quickly responded.

"Got it, Mr. Hastings."

The phone call quickly ended.

However, when Arthur intended to get in, he was stopped by a few security guards.

"Who are you? You cannot come in without an appointment!"

Arthur looked coldly at the two guards and said calmly.

"I am Arthur Smith."

One of the guards raised an eyebrow and disdainfully said.

"Never heard of your name before. Share the last name with the chairman doesn't mean that you can freely enter the company."

The other one said.

"That's right, we only allow appointed visitors."

Arthur thought the two were as clumsy and arrogant as their boss.

There's no wonder why the company developed even worse than before.

"Alright, then call your respective president. I'm sure he'll be eager to meet me."

Willingness Company was only a middle company now but these guards still kept arrogant.

They looked at Arthur and said

"People like you are not worthy of his time!"

"If you don't leave, we'll expel you with violence!"

As they spoke, they advanced, intending to force him away.

Conversing with such ignorant people was really a suffering for Arthur's patience. 

Arthur narrowed his eyebrows slightly and coldly stated.

"You won't want to fight me."

The two guards let out mocking laughs and immediately lunged at Arthur.

However, Arthur swiftly raised his hand, seemingly moving in a way no one could perceive.

Then the two fell to the ground, their bodies contorted in pain.

Arthur smiled, "it seems your bodies aren't as tough as your mouths, aren't they?"

His gentle smile made the them shudder involuntarily.

The noise there caught the manager's attention.

It's hard to believe that someone was making troubles in Willingness.

When the manager saw Arthur, his pupils immediately contracted, filled with astonishment.

He immediately called his boss, Will.

After three unsuccessful calls to Will, the manager quickly dialed Will's secretary.

When she answered the call, she only heard.

"Arthur Smith has returned. Go and inform Mr. Will, Hurry!"

The secretary was puzzled with what was happening, not even asking a question before the manager hung up.

She furrowed her brows and quickly ran to Will.

Meanwhile, the manager briskly approached Arthur. 

He kept a condescending smile as he pretended to ask.

"Who attempts to infiltrate the company? What are you doing here? What's going on?"

The security guards almost immediately recognized the voice from the manager, and they quickly replied.

"Manager, this guy suddenly broke into our company regardless of our persuasion, and he even injured us!"

With his bald head and potbelly, the manager flailed his beard and said.

"Let me see who dares to do it."

He glanced at Arthur, then pretended to be shocked.

"Arthur Smith? Why are you here instead of the jail?

Oh, it's been three years already, you are released."

Hearing this, people around stared at him more disdainfully.

Arthur looked coldly at the manager, supposing what he was up to do.

However, his freezing gaze made the manager feel like a clown.

"Do you think you're still the glorious President Arthur from three years ago?

You're just a criminal released from the prison, with nothing in your hands except the name of a convicted rapist! 

Mr. Will has managed it more excellently than you, we don't need you, such a criminal to be our leader.

You'd better get lost as fast as you can to save your face.

The manager's words did not stir any emotions in Arthur.

He smiled at the manager, his words filled with contempt.

"Indeed, fools should gather together. If your job was reducing the annual revenue by at least 50 percent during that three years, then you guys did excellent jobs. I don't even think a pig would have done worse than you."

The manager's face turned red with anger.

At that moment, his phone rang.

A cold voice resounded from the phone.

"Bring him here."
