Zoe stood dumbfoundedly as she heard the beep from the phone.That was the head of the Severn family, a prominent figure in Ol' Mare, Bruno Severn!The telephone operator transferred the call to Bruno himself?!Zoe could not understand why Bruno attached such great importance to this collaboration,
Everyone—including Donovan and Zoe—was baffled at how Bruno repeatedly addressed Patrick by his name. They all struggled to keep up with the situation.What in the world was happening? Why did this unfold in such a confusing manner? Not only did Bruno offer Patrick a VIP card and treat him like an
"T—This is like giving us free money!" Patrick was shocked. Susanne, beside him, could hold back her surprise. She almost shouted but quickly covered her mouth.It was as if they were being handed a treasure trove!Complete control over fund allocation and full authority to oversee the entire project implementation? This was an unprecedented level of power! The substantial financial resources worth billions virtually became Patrick and Susanne's personal assets.Zoe might have dreamed of kicking them out after the contract was signed, but at this point, it was nothing but a fantasy."Well, you are His Lordship's in-laws," Bruno explained, relieved to finally have the contract's terms received well.It was clear that he had come to Chesire Group to give away money, and it was all meant to win over Patrick and Susanne. If Alexander were happy, the Severn family would not have trouble making money. With Alexander's support, the Severn family could easily earn substantial profits!Whether
"Get her out of here!"'Here…''Here…'Bruno's voice echoed in the vast conference room, cutting off Zoe before she could argue. Her face turned as red as a tomato from the embarrassment.Who was she to argue? What right did she have to speak to Bruno? Zoe was rendered speechless with her pride sha
"I—It's so expensive!" Amber looked away, her face turning pale.Amber's previous Porsche Macan cost about 105000 dollars, and the price of this car before her was nearly 20 times that amount. How could she ever afford something priced in the millions? She did not even dare to think about test-drivi
Amanda could not even imagine the commission and bonus she would receive!"Ma'am, here are your car keys!" Amanda was ecstatic as she returned Alexander's card. She shakily presented the car keys to Amber. Her voice was quivering with excitement as she continued, "The other formalities have been han
At the Chesire Group's office building entrance."I look forward to our smooth cooperation!"Bruno and Patrick walked out of the main entrance, chatting and laughing with their arms linked. A crowd gathered around them, congratulating the successful signing of the contract.Susanne, on the other han
He was the head of the Chesire family, and he had the last word; no one could not defy it. However, Patrick went against his word and allowed Amber to return to the company.What about his dignity? What about his reputation?Patrick humiliated Donovan in front of Bruno and the Chesire Group's execut
"Kill!" As Alexander stepped onto the Empyrean Slope, a monstrous wave of killing intent crashed into his mind."Hmph, you think you're the only one fierce?" he muttered coldly, unleashing his own killing intent to counter the assault.He was the Temple Lord Kane, a man who had tread through mountai
At Battleforge Summit, a place where peril lurked at every turn.As the group continued their ascent, they lost a few more members. The ancient battlefield was riddled with deadly traps and poisonous remnants. The pools along the way harbored creatures so aggressive, it was clear they were not of mo
"Ah…" Alexander yawned, waiting patiently. Without a proper map, he would probably take half a day searching for directions. Battleforge Summit, though seemingly small, had a complex terrain.Time was slipping away, and Maxwell and Crimson Wyrm Master finally reached an agreement. The two-meter-wide
Early in the next morning, Maxwell's group of 40—the weakest among them a Lord of War—gathered quietly by the lake at the back of a mountain, somewhere in Shielded Valley. They stood in silence, their expressions grave.Though many had never ventured to Battleforge Summit, they had all heard of its
"Enemy attack!"Brenda sprang to her feet, drawing her sharp blade. Tensions had been high lately, and everyone's nerves were on edge."Perfect timing! I've been waiting to kill him sooner or later!"Alexander's killing intent surged, and his battle spirit ignited.Crimson Wyrm Master was destined t
As soon as Alexander asked the question, a heavy silence fell over the chamber. The three Guardians exchanged uneasy glances, but no one uttered a word."Never mind if you don't want to say anything, I'm just curious," said Alexander, sitting down cross-legged and closing his eyes to heal his wounds
"As you wish!"Crimson Wyrm Master channeled a furious surge of power into his spear, standing firm as he built up his momentum. Having fought to this point, he knew he had to unleash his most devastating attack."Here it comes!"All eyes were locked on the impending clash, each person holding their
"You fool! Don't think you'll be the last one laughing!"The Second and Third Guardians charged forward, joining forces to deflect Crimson Wyrm's relentless assault. Even with their combined strength, they could barely withstand a few moves."Do you really think we're without reinforcements?" roared
"Heh. I wouldn't dare accept your gift!" Maxwell scoffed, his voice steady despite the looming battle. Politeness had no place in this confrontation."Oh, but I'm sure you'll appreciate it," sneered Crimson Wyrm Master, his eyes gleaming with malice as he pointed at Darko, who lay crumpled on the gr
