The press conference hosted by Jacobsma Group had been ongoing for the entire morning at the Woolpackton Grand Hotel in the luxurious top-floor hall. Reporters from major media outlets eagerly rushed forward, vying to interview Peter Schneider, who stood at the podium."We are extremely grateful for
Corporate espionage?Alexander turned to look at Damon with a slight smile. "As the Schneider family's young heir, what do you have to say?"Damon tightly sealed his lips, unable to utter a single word. Peter only had a rough understanding of the matter, as Damon was the one who dealt with it. Yovan
The press conference held by the Schneider family lasted until two in the afternoon. The reporters swiftly returned to their respective media organizations, not wanting to be left behind and promptly released the results of the interviews."The Jacobsma Group stole commercial secrets, and they are s
Early the next day, a large red Porsche pulled to a slow stop in front of the Sunset Red Welfare Home.This was in the western outskirts of Ol' Mare, located at the intersection of the old and new city areas. The surrounding old neighborhoods had almost all been relocated, with new residential areas
Gary laughed bitterly, pointing toward the entrance of the welfare home not far away. "During the day, a few thugs would occasionally come over, blocking the entrance with sticks, threatening us so we couldn't even go out to buy groceries.""At night, they would cut our electricity wires, smash wate
"Compensation..."Gary suppressed his anger and picked up the contract, glancing through it. He suddenly froze, and he exclaimed, "One million?!""Didn't you say last time you came that you would compensate me with five million? Why is it less this time? The welfare institution sits on such a large
"You want me to bark like a dog?" The sturdy man's bewilderment was replaced by a laugh—one that sounded cold. "I gave you a chance, dude, but you just wouldn't appreciate it! I'll let you know what's the true—"Alexander struck as quick as lightning. He grabbed the man by the neck and flung him awa
At that very moment, in the Ol' Mare Construction Group at the top-floor Chairman's office…Sebastian Winfrey, a man in his fifties, was sitting in his luxurious swivel chair with his phone in his left hand. His right hand was occupied with fondling a sultry woman at his side.He sneered. "How dare
"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
