A few days ago a number of Gloriston University students had sent a letter to the government and authorities, saying that they would hold a massive demonstration in front of the presidential office building in the centre of Gloriston's capital city. And today the demonstration went ahead. More than five hundred students filled the forecourt.

"Reduce the use of coal fuel!"

"We want clean Chemisland air!"

"Stop global warming!

"The voice of the students, the voice of the people!"

The demo was led by Harven Rockwell and approved by one of the presidential staff named Hayden Rocky, Marvin Rockley's uncle.

Hayden did not live in Gloriston, but in Iron Town, except that he was assigned to Gloriston.

Marvin had lobbied his uncle to get the demo approved, after which his uncle would be the mouthpiece between the students and the government.

Finally, it was concluded that, from now on, the government would reduce the use of coal to generate electricity throughout Chemisland, and replace it wit

    Just about to leave for work, Marvin was suddenly called by his in-laws to head to Villa Winston. Marvin parked his black Audi and got out, followed by his wife.The scorching heat this morning was felt all the way into the house. The tense and angry air on the Winston Family members' faces was palpable, giving off an uncomfortable aura.Roderick Winston simply ordered his son-in-law into the living room. "Sit here! Marvin" he ordered. "Gennifer, you have to see what your shameful husband has done!"Hearing the loud yell, Marvin Rock sat quietly and listened intently, "Please tell me what you want to talk about," he said politely and kindly. There was no expression of surprise or panic on his face.Roderick snorted angrily and said, "Damn you Marvin! Because of your stupid behaviour towards Raymond, Harvard Corp cut off the Winston Family!" Roderick grinned in annoyance. His eyes darted several times to Marvin's face.All this time, if Winsoil had a crisis, they would turn to Harvard

    Roderick held his head as he howled, "Oh my! You're giving us a headache here, Marvin. It's not enough that you've been embarrassing us for a year, now you're just messing up!" How could he not get angry, when the Winston Family was limping along, Marvin wanted Gennifer, who was stiff and lacked business skills, to be the office secretary.Gennifer was shocked. "Marvin, I used to have the desire to work at Winsoil for my family, but I'm not fit."Marvin quickly intervened, "It's not that you're not worthy, Gennifer, it's that your family doesn't believe in you. If they try to believe just a little and let you learn, I'm sure you can grow and become a trusted person in Winsoil."In the eyes of his father and first brother, Gennifer was underestimated. Despite her achievements during her studies and her professional spirit, her family wanted her to be a housewife.As she had said herself, she had once wanted to become a Winsoil official, but those hopes had been dashed by the harsh rest

    Discussions with his wife's family concluded that Marvin had the opportunity to prove again that he would be able to improve the Winston Family's business condition.In the meantime, Gennifer was told by Marvin to stay at Villa Winston in order to learn more from her family before getting really busy with Winsoil.After the family discussion, Marvin did not go straight to the Rock Electra office, but to the Gloriston Bank headquarters. This state-owned bank was twenty-storeyed and very grand.Unlike the usual MC lead actors who sometimes look shabby and look poor, Marvin was very authoritative in an office suit. He was very handsome and dashing.However, his arrival here was not well received by the bank. A service manager approached him near the entrance and grinned in front of everyone, "Marvin the terrorist? Did you get out? Did you blow up the state prison ha?"Marvin had no expression. He knew how annoying his high school friend was. He paid no heed to the insinuations. "Howard t

    Vibra is named after the word Vibranium. In fiction, Vibranium is the strongest type of metal.Vibra cards are the highest card type in Chemisland. The owner of the card is definitely the richest person in the entire country.Howard said, "I don't understand people who get out of prison, and then they turn out to be, I don't know if they're humorous, I don't know if they're sane, I don't know if they're shameless. I don't get it. The point is, you don't mess around here, Marvin!"Having been involved in conventional ribawi for a long time, he could guess how much Werner Rocktone's total wealth, assets, and the amount of money rotating in the company's accounts. Even if the Rock family accumulated all the profits for thirty years, they would not be able to have a Vibra Card.To Howard, the joke that Marvin had just told was not very funny. "Did you wear a lot of ganj4 when you were in prison? Or did you just drink whiskey? Son of Rock, don't make me restless and threaten my job. While

    The purpose of Ethelyne's visit to Gloriston Bank was to settle a transaction of 200 billion dollars, because the amount was very large, so an official representative had to take care of it.Ethelyne was stunned. Her mouth dropped open, "Let go of Mr Rock! I don't know who you two are, but you're in big trouble!" Ethelyne smirked. She immediately shoved Howard and security. "My bodyguards, remove these two scum from Mr Rock's holy body!""Yes, Madam!" Two bodyguards immediately dragged Howard and the security away from Marvin Rock.Everyone there was amazed.It was rare for them to meet Ethelyne Wilmer in person. Looking at her, it was as if their hearts were about to burst out of their chest.Ethelyne was stunningly beautiful, especially with the makeup on her face that was quite striking, not to mention the jewellery and bags that were very expensive and nice. Diamond watches and shiny gold necklaces. It was amazing.Howard gaped and his eyes were very blank. Firstly, for the first

    Marvin immediately stood up to greet him. "Mr President Director, you've finally arrived." Marvin shook hands with Mr Alister in the midst of the visitors.This time all eyes were back on Marvin.If Mr Alister appeared, it meant that there was a very important business with an important person. Even Mr Alister was ahead of Marvin Rock than Ethelyne Wilmer. "I wish you good health, Mr Marvin Rock."Only after that did Mr Alister greet Ethelyne. He greeted her, "Miss Wilmer, welcome to Gloriston Bank as well.""Thank you, Mr Alister. After serving the two of us later, please take care of your two very insolent employees. They both dragged Mr Rock out."Not waiting for long, the chairman rushed out of the bank, dragged the two men to the back parking lot, and when no one was looking, Mr Alister let out his anger.PLAK!PLAK!Two hard slaps to each of them."How insolent of you to Mr Marvin Rock! You two should sit here squatting until our meeting is over. Let me serve and guard Mr Rock, b

    At Glory Auto, all kinds of expensive cars from various brands are available. People who come here are usually upper-class and middle-class. Since all the cars are expensive and classy, not just anyone can enter here.Elvin was quite familiar with Marvin because he was a close friend of Russel Winston. The closeness between Marvin and Ethelyne, in Elvin's eyes, was like a mound of gold. Before Elvin approached, he had photographed and recorded all their activities there from afar.As the frontman of sales at Glory Auto, he would give special service to two special people. "Miss Wilmer, please forgive the idiotic security guards like them. When it comes to rich and beautiful people like you, they sometimes get it wrong."Hearing such frivolous compliments, Ethelyne was indifferent. Her gaze widened throughout the building, lazily she saw the familiar Elvin. She knew Elvin's position with all his duties and responsibilities, but she was disgusted by the overbearing and exaggerated man.

    Various swear words came out of their mouths."Fake card....""How could a terrorist have a Vibra Card.....""Enemies of the state don't deserve to have a lot of money....""Shame on the Rock Family all over the world....."Marvin remained calm and there was not the slightest expression of concern on his face.Ethelyne approached and said in surprise, "The Vibra Card usage is one hour after activation. It should be usable now since it's been more than an hour. Mr Rock, please use my card first."Witnessing this, everyone was disappointed with Marvin Rock. It turned out that the issued card did not work. Obviously, they couldn't believe that Marvin had that phenomenal black Vibra Card.Even if Marvin had a Black Diamond Card, they would hardly believe it, what about the top magic card? To them, Marvin was just an ex-con who wanted to be considered great.They thought, by walking with Ethelyne, buying a luxury car, and issuing a Vibra Card, would that remove the stigma and bad label?

    At the Rock family home, it was a quiet night.Marvin took another sip of his coffee, then said to Varez, "You're still the most accomplished man at that time. You're number one, man!"Varez looked away and watched the trees from this balcony. "Grades are useless if you don't have skills, experience, and money. I'm just a petrol station worker, and I'm stuck at the head of the shift. I'm not reliable."Varez even went so far as to regret his studies. He thought it was useless to go to school for years and end up as a petrol station worker. What he had learnt so far was a waste.There were many reasons why Varez was not as successful as his classmates, apart from the fact that he had no money and no insiders. Despite being highly intelligent, Varez didn't have great verbal skills. He knows theories and formulas by heart, but when it comes to dealing with big people, he's clumsy and nervous.If asked to speak in public, he would be shy and trembling. Varez tends to work in jobs that don

    Flashback on. Once upon a time at Gloriston University. When most of them were eighteen years old.Around the campus park, Varez was picking up the pieces of his broken glasses."You're a geeky guy! You should be at home shooting with your dad," said one of the dark-haired men."We both can't get over the fact that you won't give us money. And what's worse, when we ask you to write down our homework, you violently refuse," chimed in the other blonde."If you had obeyed, we wouldn't have bullied you, you idiot!" the dark-haired man who had picked up Varez's glasses and thrown them, now stomped on them again, shattering them even more.Varez was pushed hard enough that he fell backwards. Thud! His body hit the garden fence. "Aghr!" Varez winced in pain. He didn't dare to retaliate, because if he put up a fight, he would be finished like yesterday.The two bullies had been beating his body all semester. The reason was because Varez was quiet and seemed stiff. Even though Varez sometimes

    "You're just a disgraceful ex-con!" Raymond screamed in anger.Harven Rockwell could not contain his emotions. He approached Raymond and grabbed him by the neck. "You've been talking out of your arse. You disrespected the host and the other guests."Before anything untoward happened, the people in the neighbourhood broke it up. Harven was furious. He had been patient. Especially when he recalled that Raymond was the culprit for the slander against his brother.Harven grinned angrily. "You're the accuser! Because of you, my brother is in jail!" Harven struggled from the hugs and embraces of the people.The audience's emotions rose again. A show that shakes emotions, fluctuates.But not for the two extended families. Derick and his in-laws were concerned about the chaos.Russel was also on edge from earlier as he watched Mr Warren pretentiously blabbing away to his heart's content.Only able to surrender, Freya is speechless.Marvin regained control of the stage.

    Raymond turned round and squinted, then howled loudly, "My father is right! How can the Rock Family, especially the ones living in Gloriston, own Rockxill with a value of hundreds of billions of dollars. If they've been in debt to us all this time, then how can they own Rockxill? It's impossible!"Now all attention was on the father and son.Mr Warren Harvard was quite distinctive today because of his lively appearance. On all his fingers were a dozen rings, ranging from silver to gold to diamonds. In the middle of the skull motif on the middle finger, there is an expensive stone of hundreds of thousands of dollars that is as colourful as a rainbow.Mr Warren Harvard deliberately crossed his arms over his chest and showed off everything. All the jewellery on his fingers could buy a luxury villa plus everything inside. Mr Warren Harvard proudly stood up and puffed out his chest."Which bank would lend the Rock Family hundreds of billions of dollars?" Mr Warren asked and snorted in disg

    Zavier, who had just wanted to sit in a chair at the back, stood up. He was asked to come forward and sit next to Marvin Rock. At this moment, Zavier was very awkward when sitting right next to his boss.As instructed by Marvin, Zavier was not to make much noise during the programme. Zavier must not tell anyone about the owner of Rockxill.That was the reason why Marvin forbade inviting the Wilmer Family here. The people who knew that the owner of Rockxill was Marvin were obviously the Wilmers, like Ethelyne.Russell brought his face closer to the mic again. "He is Mr Zavier! The President Director of Rockxill! He is far more meritorious and deserving of respect than the Harvard Family. Applause for him!"Excitement erupted around the garden.Those who shared the Harvard Family's views were delighted to hear Russel's outburst, especially those who hated the Harvard Family's arrogance.There were whispers among them."We better follow the Winston Family's lead, break away from the Harv

    Raymond pointed at him. "Stop talking!" he howled angrily.Russel Winston straightened his shoulders and retorted, "I'm talking facts. Not slander.""You!" Raymond growled angrily."Ladies and gentlemen, you should also know that my brother-in-law, Marvin Rock, is not a terrorist. He was slandered into going to jail. I was one of the people instigated, and the instigator was Raymond Harvard!"Everyone was even more dumbfounded.Whispers among them filled the entire garden.Russel said this because he finally realised that Marvin Rock was innocent. He admitted that he had been wrong all along. In fact, Russel did not know who Marvin Rock really was.What would happen if Russel knew who Marvin really was?Mr Warren Harvard told his son to sit down immediately. Although Mr Warren was currently emotional, he couldn't let his anger out because after all, he was a guest here. Unlike Raymond who couldn't control his emotions, Mr Warren was still calm.Mr Warren thought that it was impossible

    All the invited guests stood up, looked back, and searched for the two people in question. All eyes were on the two people.Then Warren Harvard and Raymond were led by two guards dressed all in black to the frontmost special seats. They would sit next to the dignitaries and other important people.From among business people, only the two of them are in the front row. Apart from being special, there will certainly be surprises for the richest family in Chemisland.Before taking their seats, the two of them clapped their hands and twisted their bodies as they leered in all directions, exuding a Harvard charm worthy of anyone's flattery.It wasn't long before two people were carrying metre-long flower arrangements, and two others were carrying sizable gifts. All gifts from the Harvard Family to the bride and groom."We would like to thank Mr Warren Harvard and his son," said Derick with a smile on his lips.Only the gifts from the Harvard Family were deliberately placed on the stage, not

Russel looked dashing in a black suit and Freya looked elegant in a white dress with a crown on her head.Fortunately, the early winter weather from morning to noon was quite mild. All the guests enjoyed the impressive garden party. The guests were treated to a variety of Chemisland specialities.The most special drink was GN-Wine. The price per bottle is two thousand dollars.

    All the way from Villa Winston to the Rock Family residence, Gennifer kept grumbling to herself. "It must be Marvin who made her his secretary," she muttered with an annoyed look on her face.Later that evening, Gennifer dragged her husband to his room, leaving Marvin's parents in the dining room.In the room, Gennifer vigorously spewed out the anger that was clotting and choking her chest. "I don't want to know, he has to get out of Rockxill immediately, or I'll reveal all these secrets to my family and I'll report to them that you've been having an affair!" She sat slumped on the bed with a face full of emotion. Her beautiful eyes were swallowed by an explosive rage.Marvin walked around the room and remained calm. He had expected Freya's mouth to open wide, until her cooing reached his wife's ears. "I'll explain it to you, dear.""I don't need an explanation, Marvin! I'd rather let you get close to Ethelyne than that woman. She's secretly seductive. The proof is that you fell for h
