Chapter 165: The End And A New Beginning.
The news of Haland Empire’s bankruptcy spread through Crestfall before the court officials had even finished filing the final documents.For years, the name Haland had carried a weight that made people lower their voices whenever it was mentioned. It had stood at the center of some of the most powerful industries in Singapore, owned towers that dominated the city skyline, employed thousands of people, controlled companies that stretched across different sectors, and maintained relationships with influential figures who had once treated the empire as though it were untouchable.Now, that same name appeared across newspapers, television screens, financial reports, and online headlines beneath words such as bankruptcy fraud, government fund manipulation, and $10 billion fine.The empire had fallen.And it had fallen publicly.Inside one of Haland Empire’s remaining corporate offices, dozens of employees sat in silence while the official notice concerning the company’s bankruptcy was disp
Haland Final Blow.
A month had passed since Draven and the women had returned to Crestfall while his parents remained behind to oversee the investigation into Gedoni and Matthew, and during that period, life in Crestfall had slowly begun returning to normal, although the people of the city had no idea that another storm was gathering beneath the surface.The reopening of the Haland project became the first major news to spread through the Crestfall Gossip Line, with messages appearing across social platforms almost immediately after the announcement was made.“Did anyone else hear that the project is reopening?” one person posted.Another replied almost instantly, “After everything that happened, they are actually reopening it? I thought the entire thing was finished.”Within hours, screenshots, theories, and old rumors were circulating throughout Crestfall, with people arguing about why the project had suddenly been brought back into public attention after remaining buried for so long.Draven watched t
Chapter 163: Mathew Downfall
Matthew’s name became central to the investigation almost immediately after Gedoni’s confession, because the moment the authorities began comparing his testimony with the evidence recovered during the investigation, several details that had previously appeared unrelated suddenly began fitting together with alarming precision. What had initially been treated as an isolated attempt to steal confidential technological equipment was no longer viewed as the desperate action of a former prisoner looking for money, but as another carefully arranged operation connected to a much older series of crimes that had caused serious damage to the people and companies surrounding the Haland Empire.Investigators returned to the evidence collected from Gedoni’s belongings and subjected everything to another round of forensic examination, paying particular attention to the communication records, financial transactions, names, locations, and instructions that had initially seemed insignificant. They di
Chapter 162: Mathew Has Been Exposed!
The room remained silent after Gedoni's confession, because although Dennis had expected there to be someone behind everything that had happened, hearing the name Matthew spoken aloud transformed the suspicion into something far more dangerous. Matthew was no longer a distant name mentioned in passing or a shadow hiding behind other people's actions; he had become a real person connected directly to the stolen technology, the manipulated system, and the events that had brought them to this point.Gedoni's breathing remained weak as he stared at the ceiling, his body still struggling to recover from the surgery that had nearly taken his life, while Dennis watched him carefully from the chair beside the bed.“You said Matthew recruited you, but I want you to tell me exactly how it happened, because I need to understand whether you were working for him willingly or whether that system was already controlling you before you ever knew what you were involved in.”Gedoni slowly turned his h
Chapter 161: The Chip Was Removed.
At DeVante Tech.The noise that erupted from the building was enough to wake even a dead man.“He’s back.” Someone shouted from afar. “He’s alive! Omg.” Another shouted with joy.” Gedoni’s eyes slowly opened and adjusted to the light in the room. He looked at his bruised body. The blood he shed had dried on his skin by now.“Hssss,” he groaned when he mistakenly licked the ground part of his lips.“Mr. Draven is back. He came through the time portal. Another shouted.Footsteps. Lots of them moved up towards the stairs like they were going to see for themselves. “He really came back, uhn.” An amused smile tugged at Gedoni’s lips. “Relentless. Just like his father. He said bitterly. He tried to stand up, but the chains he was wrapped in held him back. “Fuck!” He yelled, mentally exhausted. He laughed. Then laughed harder again. “That bastard Mathew. Dude didn’t even try to reach out to know if I’m still alive.” He mumbled to himself bitterly. If he knew the job was going to get com
Chapter 170: Draven Collapsed
I looked at my arms; I was covered in bruises, dust, and torn clothes. A loud collective collective gasp filled the room. The tension in the room was as thick as fog; it could cut through a wall. For a moment no one moved. Then the murmurs came. “What!”“How did he come through?” “Omg!!” The first person, my father, got up. He slowly limped towards me until he got to closer and could see me clearly. A loud gasp left his lips as his lips parted. “H-How? My son?” That was what it took for the tears I was holding onto to fall all over my face. “Yes, Father. It is me, Drave—“ He jumped into my arms, wrapping his arms around me tightly. “Oh, my son… My son is back.” He muttered.“My son is back. My son is back, you all.” He said, louder this time. The tears that dropped from his face poured on the shoulder. He squeezed his arms around me tightly. “My son is back!” He screamed, tears of joy falling on his cheeks freely. “Yes, I am, Father.” A collective round of applause filled the
