In a presidential suite of the most luxurious five-star hotel in Grayvale, Elijah lay on a bed with his arms wrapped around two beautiful women.

He radiated confidence and was utterly pleased with himself.

Suddenly, his phone rang. One of the ladies gently placed the phone next to his ear.

“Mr. Elijah, the arrangements have been made by Miss Amara. Grayvale’s business magnates and heads of local factions are waiting for you,” came a voice from the line.

“Let them wait,” Elijah replied nonchalantly.

He held onto the two women with a sly smile playing on his lips.

“So, this is the allure of power…”

There was a time when Elijah was just a nobody and had scraped by in the slums. Years of climbing from the very bottom had only earned him the status of a petty gang leader.

After enduring years of hardship, wealth and luxury felt intoxicating.

With just a single command, he could summon scores of subordinates. His every step was accompanied by admiration and respect

    Other factions were practically begging to be affiliated with the Wyatt family. What was Clayton thinking? Elijah was just about to lash out in anger when he was cut off. “The Finn family is withdrawing too. We will no longer serve the Wyatt family.” “The Dixon family as well. We refuse to be your subordinates.” Archie and Benjamin spoke one after another. Elijah froze. His face twisted as his anger surfaced, and his expression turned into a menacing grimace. He had sent the four families to unite and pressure Dustin, but three of them had returned to defy him instead? Rage surged in Elijah’s chest like an unstoppable wave. “Do you all... want to die?” he said with a chilling tone. He could not understand what had happened at Creative Arts Corporation. Why would the three of them suddenly betray him? “Elijah, keep your threats to yourself. We are not afraid of you,” Clayton said flatly. “Do you know that outside of this hotel, there is a battalion of

    That evening, at the end of a workday for Creative Arts Corporation, Shawna was driving her car out. She stopped at the security booth for a while. Poking her head out, she said, “Let’s go, Dustin.” “It’s not the end of my shift yet,” Dustin said. “It’s fine. Let’s go.” Shawna looked indifferent. After experiencing what happened today, she did not know how she should behave with Dustin. Dustin was the leader of Star Tower and commanded all sorts of powerful people. But he was working as a security guard for Shawna. Shawna could no longer treat Dustin in the same way she had before. Ever since Zion Larson had visited, Shawna’s attitude had started to change. Although she did not show it, Dustin still felt that she had gotten more distant. Shawna was not the sort of person who sucked up to those in power. Maybe it was because she felt that she was inferior, so she was distancing herself from Dustin. Dustin did not think he should mention anything about that. H

    “This reunion is being organized by the class president, Marco Geurrero, so everyone’s coming.” “A reunion…” Shawna was not really interested in it. “Hey, it’s at Majestic Hotel. We’re in the VIP ballroom. Marco’s paying for everything!” Devina said cheerfully. “Majestic Hotel? What a lavish place…” Shawna was surprised. Majestic Hotel was one of the fanciest hotels in Grayvale. Most people did not have gatherings there because they could not afford it. Yet, Marco was footing the bill. How generous he was! “It’s not like you don’t know how rich Marco is. Let’s just enjoy it,” Devina said. “Oh, if only I could marry into such a rich family. It’s a shame that he’s not interested in me… “Hey, didn’t he try to woo you back in the day? But you rejected him without even thinking about it. I really don’t know what you were thinking…” Shawna did not respond. “Oh, right. Are you waiting for someone? Who?” Devina looked around. “I have a flat tire. He’s gone to the bathroo

    Majestic Hotel was the most luxurious hotel in Grayvale. After Dustin and the women stepped inside, Devina looked around at everything inquisitively. This was the first time she had been to such a high-class place. She was a little excited. “They said the reunion is at the VIP ballroom. I don’t know where it is.” Devina went to ask someone about its location and led Dustin and Shawna toward the VIP ballroom. After they got there, Devina opened the door to a raging revelry, The VIP ballroom had been decorated lavishly. Most of their ex-classmates were present. For most of them, it was the first time they had been to such a fancy place. That was why they were having so much fun. “Everyone, look who’s here!” Devina said loudly. Those who heard her turned and looked. When they saw that Shawna was among those at the door, they all had different reactions. Shawna was once the campus belle, and many of the men had been interested in her. When they saw her, interest shone in

    How laughable the whole situation was! The men all had strange looks on their faces and seemed disdainful. Meanwhile, the women basked in their satisfaction. The worse Shawna was doing in life, the happier they were. Under those mocking gazes, Shawna’s face became ever darker, but she could not be bothered to explain. “A pig farmer? That’s not bad. I heard that the price of pigs is going up a lot. This could be a way to get rich fast,” a man said half-jokingly. A wave of laughter erupted in the VIP ballroom. It was very taunting. “I told you not to come. Look, you’re embarrassing Shawna,” Devina said to Dustin. “How can you be so thick-skinned? Don’t you feel ashamed? How can you just say that you’re a high school graduate and a pig farmer? You’re really useless!” “What’s so bad about being a pig farmer? I make a living with my own hard work. That’s not embarrassing,” Dustin said with a grin. Devina’s face became even more distasteful. She really did not know how

    Everyone in the VIP ballroom looked at Dustin with even more disdain. When Dustin stood up, it had taken everyone aback. They had nearly thought that he was secretly a rich man. However, it was only a mistake. Somehow, the situation was even more laughable. “Why did you stand up when it’s not your car? Are you determined to shame us all tonight?” Devina was already in a bad mood, but it had gotten even worse. She intentionally pulled Dustin aside and made him stand at the side. She was terrified that he would embarrass them further. She did not know what was up with Dustin. What was even in his head? Did he not see how many people wanted to embarrass him at this reunion? Meanwhile, he was willingly handing everyone the chance to make fun of him. “The class president is here!” someone said suddenly. Quite a few people went up to surround Marco. A handsome young man showed up. He was smiling, and this attracted a number of women to walk up to him in admiration. With t

    “Desmond, over here!” Stephanie waved toward a man and gestured him over. She wanted to show off her boyfriend to Shawna and Dustin. That way, she would be able to hurt Shawna and feel even superior to her. It would fulfill her fragile ego. Dustin could not help but raise an eyebrow when he saw the man walking toward them. Desmond Weaving was familiar to him. Shawna noticed Desmond as well, and her expression turned strange. She remembered when all those important people had come to visit Dustin. Some of them had brought a retinue with them, and Desmond had been one of the underlings among them. Desmond had not even dared to look up at Dustin back then. Desmond had been too nervous and had tripped before the entire gathering. Everyone laughed at him. His superior had told him off viciously and even pressured him to apologize to Dustin. Yet, Dustin had not pursued the matter. Who would have thought that they would stumble into each other here? Desmond had been happ

    “Did you say Shawna’s pig farmer boyfriend is the secret boss of your company? How could that be?” Stephanie really thought that she was mistaken. She could not believe that this was true. Dustin had been mocked the second he walked into the ballroom. How could he be the boss of a huge company? Was Shawna’s boyfriend not just a useless pig farmer? How had he suddenly become the boss of a huge company? What in the world was going on? Stephanie could not figure it out. She had wanted to shame Shawna and Dustin and calling Desmond over was supposed to insult them and highlight how awesome Stephanie was in comparison to Dustin. What was going on? Stephanie was going nuts. Even so, she had an idea of what it meant to be Desmond’s boss. Dustin was worlds more superior than they were, and they did not have what it took to mock him. “Stephanie, did you say something mean to him?” Desmond’s face darkened. He was terrified that she had offended Dustin. “She didn’t say anyth

    Nearby, the guests let out a round of cheers. The reunion came to a climax. “The wine already costs 800 thousand dollars, and we’re having our reunion in Majestic Hotel, too! Marco must have spent at least a million dollars on this reunion! He’s so generous!” Devina said excitedly. She desperately wanted to throw herself at Marco. During the entire reunion, the only people who kept their cool had to be Dustin and Shawna. Since Marco had brought out the renowned Ronan wine, everyone wanted a taste of it. After all, it was a luxury they would never again have the chance to savor. Smiling, Marco went to each guest and poured them a glass of wine. He felt like he was floating when he got praise and thanks from them. Soon, a lot of people had their glasses full. They tasted the wine and enjoyed it. As they did, they praised and complimented him even more. They made it sound like the wine was the nectar of the gods. It did not even matter if they were discerning wine connoisse

    “Let’s go, Dustin.” Shawna did not have the patience to stay put anymore. She called for Dustin and got ready to leave. “Forget it. Please forget what happened for my sake.” Marco played the mediator when he saw that Shawna was going to leave. “We’re all ex-classmates here, so we don’t need to make things so awkward. This man only said such things because he’s drunk. Shawna, please forgive him. However, you should also control your boyfriend. If he keeps attacking people, I won’t be able to protect him.” “Aw, don’t leave, Shawna. Stay and accompany me?” Devina went over and held onto Shawna and did not let her leave. Resigned, Shawna nodded. She sat back down. Dustin was quiet when he saw that. He went to sit beside Shawna. He could only follow her lead. Meanwhile, the man Dustin had pressed to the floor was quickly pulled away by a couple of people. Although some men still had ill intentions, especially after the first of them failed, no one dared to approach Shawna

    Desmond’s hurried departure with Stephanie was nothing more than a quick distraction in the reunion. Not many people noticed it. After all, Marco was the most important person at this reunion. Thus, not many people focused on what was going on with Dustin. The guests were too busy trying to suck up to Marco, so they did not have time to bother with Shawna and Dustin for the time being. Although the men were all interested in Shawna, they were in public. Plus, Dustin was there as well. Thus, they could only put aside their desires for the moment. As such, the reunion went on. After a while, some people started to get drunk. When people got drunk, they got bolder. A man came over to Dustin and Shawna with a glass of wine. He was staggering. “Shawna, it’s been a long time. Why don’t we have a drink?” the man said loudly. Shawna frowned. She wanted to ignore this drunkard. “I don’t drink,” Shawna said coolly. “How can you say that? It’s so rare for us all to meet
