LOGINWarren didn't want Aldous to act recklessly. "Don't treat him like some helpless weakling," he warned again. "I sense a different aura around that kid. He's going to be far harder to eliminate than any major general."Realizing Warren hadn't summoned him here for mere idle chatter, Aldous thought long and hard. It made no sense for a man like Warren Harvard to waste breath on a cheap joke. He was dead serious.Currently, the Morgan family desperately needed $500 million to get the Morgan Entertainment project off the ground. The real question was whether Warren would be willing to part with a sum that massive."How much are you offering if he dies by my hands?" Aldous asked, a fierce, predatory grin spreading across his face."One million dollars."Aldous sneered, letting out a heavy, irritated sigh. "You just said Marvin Rock is no weakling—that he’s harder to put down than a major general! How can you offer such a pathetic sum?" Disgust vibrated through his posture.Aldous knew the
On the outer fringes of Gloriston sat an underground casino. Despite its remote location far from the city center, Chemisland's largest gambling den was perpetually packed. The Morgan Casino remained operational to this day thanks to heavily armed enforcers and the backing of corrupt government officials. Tens, if not hundreds, of millions of dollars circulated through its doors daily. Lately, however, the Morgan family had suffered a sharp decline in profits. What little revenue remained was continuously eroded by unexpected expenses, plunging them deep into the red. The Morgans were infamous across the nation—not for wealth or high status, but for their reputation as a high-tier mafia syndicate. Big Boss Morgan was once a feared enforcer, credited with taking hundreds of lives. Yet miraculously, he had never served a single day in prison. That terrifying immunity built his legend. Now in his seventies, he spent his remaining days confined to a wheelchair and a bed. Father to fiv
Ethelyne relentlessly stoked the flames. "They say the Harvard family is number one. Prove it to us all!" Unsurprisingly, the massive crowd of pro-MR-25 students wasn't about to stay quiet. Emboldened by their strength in numbers, they felt zero fear, their collective voices roaring through the venue. "We want to see that debate!" "Prove to us that Harvard really is at the top!" Standing right in the thick of the crowd was Harven Rockwell, who shouted at the top of his lungs, "If you refuse the challenge, it means the Harvard reign is over! The Rock family takes the crown!" "Yeah! Where's your voice, Raymond Harvard?!" "What a pathetic loser! Acting all high and mighty a minute ago, and now you're completely deflated. That's what you get for playing big shot!" "Come on, accept the challenge!" Raymond's ears burned with humiliation. His two bodyguards urged him to leave immediately before things escalated out of hand, but Raymond remained petrified, his eyes hollow and staring
Raymond Harvard couldn't restrain his aggressive outburst, lunging forward and shoving Marvin Rock hard enough to send him stumbling backward, nearly losing his footing. But Marvin was far too sturdy to be thrown off balance by such a feeble push. Hands immediately grabbed Raymond, pulling him back to prevent the confrontation from devolving into a full-blown brawl. Yet, because Raymond sat at the very pinnacle of social standing courtesy of his family's wealth, few in the hall—including the government officials themselves—dared to physically restrain him too forcefully. Most preferred not to get involved. Rather than entangling themselves in a feud that would only bring trouble later, they chose to remain silent bystanders. Raymond's two bodyguards came rushing into the venue, swiftly stepping in to secure their boss. "You scheming bastard, Marvin!" Raymond bellowed in a frenzy, his face twisted into a furious, venomous sneer. He pointed an accusing finger. "You're intentionally m
Ethelyne Wilmer stood up—the only one in the room to do so. She delivered a ten-second standing ovation, forcing Marvin to pause mid-speech. All eyes immediately turned to her. If simply eating pizza at her house was enough to trigger a trending media frenzy, what would the press make of this? She was intentionally drawing every eye in the hall, looking utterly breathtaking in her blue dress. She held the room spellbound. Only after Ethelyne took her seat did Marvin resume. "We are currently constructing an MR-25 plant on a massive scale!" he declared openly to the entire forum. "Because this isn't just something Chemisland needs—it's what the world needs!" Several attendees drew deep, steadying breaths to calm their racing hearts. If Marvin’s words held true, a massive shift was on the horizon. Raymond Harvard scoffed in annoyance. He rubbed his eyes, unable to stomach the sheer resilience of the ex-convict. Slumping weakly in his seat, his discomfort deepened; it felt as though
The master of ceremonies delivered an announcement. "Wait, there will be a special session." The man brought out a trophy and an award medal.Every year, Gloriston University selects one person deserving of an award because they are judged to have made significant contributions to the field of science.The Science Glory Awards are not like the Nobel Prize, where candidates must register first to be evaluated by a jury. Instead, experts from Gloriston University independently select from various research results and recent scientific breakthroughs.Typically, the campus chooses ten research findings or discoveries deemed influential over the past decade. These are then evaluated by Gloriston University experts to determine the absolute best.The master of ceremonies faced the audience and said excitedly, "I invite Marvin Rock. Please, come up to the podium!"Almost all participants stood up and applauded as a form of appreciation for Marvin Rock.Usually, the Science Glory Awards are h
Gennifer shuddered. “Marvin, you are so heartless! Don't you love me anymore?" Gennifer's eyes were red and wanted to cry. Derick stood and put his hands on his hips. He looked at his son-in-law and said, “You're out of your mind, Marvin. One whole year your wife took care of you, fed you eve
Russell shouted, "You're finally here, my rich brother!" He immediately gave Raymond a warm hug. When he heard the news that Marvin had been released and was visiting the Winston residence, Raymond had rushed here this morning. He wanted to see firsthand what the ex-convict's face and body looke
In response to the new accusations that cornered him so much, Marvin became even more furious with Russell. "You! You are a slanderer so I go to jail!” Marvin started to get emotional. Russel, who is five years older than Marvin, clearly does not accept this. "You're accusing me of slander?!
This morning at Villa Winston. "Good morning!" Because she was no stranger to that voice, Gennifer suddenly ran over and opened the door. “Marvin my husband? How come you can go home?” asked Gennifer in disbelief. She was in complete shock. For the past year Gennifer has been a loyal member
