The convoy sped down the freeway with the imposing Hummer in the lead and ten Land Cruisers following behind. Everyone else on the road gave them a wide berth.

Inside the Hummer, Sam asked worriedly, "Master Rinz, are you really going to demand the ten million dollars?"

"Of course. I earned it. What’s the problem?" Elio shot back.

"If you ask me, you're not short of money. You should let the ten million go and hope Theodore won't pursue the matter anymore. Otherwise, we'll become his sworn enemies for sure. No one in the Cloudsea underworld can compete with that old man. The risk is too high." Sam analyzed the power dynamics logically.

He did not want Elio to take the risk. The money was not worth it.

Elio smiled calmly. "We’re already enemies. Even if I give up on the earnings Theodore won't let me go so easily. It’s only a matter of time, so I'm already prepared to fight that old man."

Since Elio had decided, Sam had no reason to hesitate anymore. He said with a solemn expres

    The Hummer turned at the intersection ahead and headed for the hotel Elio had mentioned. In the meantime, Elio called Sunny, his assistant, and instructed her to help him prepare a birthday present.More than a dozen people had gathered in the hotel room to celebrate Evelyn's birthday. Among them were her best friends and former classmates who were still staying in Cloudsea. It was a lively gathering.The hosts were her two best friends, Jenny and May. They had gone to great lengths to dress up for Evelyn's birthday. They had even invited a special guest. It turned out to be Bennet Zaccone, the deputy general manager of Dixon Company and Evelyn’s former suitor.As it turned out, Bennet's sister was Jenny’s classmate. In order to win Evelyn's heart, he asked Jenny to arrange an opportunity for him to get close to his crush. He had even come fully prepared for the birthday banquet.Evelyn had no idea about any of this. Because she was busy with the company, she had even forgotten it

    Hotel Hayspring was luxuriously decorated. When Elio rushed to the elevator, he saw a stylish young woman walking inside. He put on a burst of speed and held the elevator doors open, darting inside before it closed.The woman was quite pretty, but her makeup was a little too thick. The sequined dress wrapped around her slender body, and her black stockings could make any man's imagination run wild.Even though they were the only people in the elevator, Elio did not look at the pretty young woman. He just wanted to join his wife as soon as possible and celebrate her birthday. In his eyes, no woman was as perfect as Evelyn.The woman was annoyed at Elio for barging in so suddenly. She pushed up her sunglasses, placed them on her head, and looked at Elio with eyes filled with disdain.Elio’s cheap clothes irritated her even more. She snapped, "Are you crazy? Rushing in like that, are your pants on fire or something? You completely ruined my mood!”Her rudeness ticked Elio off. He fro

    He was smart enough to tailor his approach according to his target. Evelyn was a career-minded woman. She was focused on her company and wanted to pay off her grandfather's debt as soon as possible. That was why she was very interested in Bennet's suggestion. After all, more connections meant more opportunities.Evelyn said softly, "Thank you in advance, Mr. Zaccone."Bennet smiled. "There's no need to be so formal. You can just call me Bennet. Don't worry, I'll do my best to help you."Just then, a newcomer entered the private room and attracted everyone's attention. It was Elio.He was covered in sweat, and his hair was greasy. He wore a cheap T-shirt with a big hole in it. He almost looked like a migrant worker who had just returned from the construction site.Despite all the people gathered in the room, Elio's eyes locked onto Evelyn instantly and lit up. She was beautiful as always!However, he then saw the man sitting next to her. Elio had seen Bennet at his in-laws’ house

Afterward, she joined a music academy and participated in various talent shows after graduating. Some good reception gave her a minor celebrity status as a singer.She and Evelyn had been close at school, and she knew Jenny and May too. Now that she had returned to Cloudsea for the next stage of her career, she reconnected with everyone. When she heard about Evelyn's birthday party that night, she rushed over to attend.Unexpectedly, Natalee bumped into Elio in the elevator. She did not know that he was Evelyn's husband.As a self-proclaimed celebrity, she was rather arrogant and self-important. She resented the “trash-collecting peasant” for wasting her time, so she insulted him without a second thought.Unexpectedly, he had pointed out her body odor instead. It was the fatal flaw she refused to face, so she flew into a rage out of humiliation.Natalee had been suffering fro

    "It doesn't matter," Evelyn replied, disheartened. "He won't be my husband for long, anyway. I'll divorce him tomorrow. Since he's just a scumbag who harasses women, how can I stay married to him?”Elio felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His body trembled violently. He had not expected Evelyn to be so heartless. She was going to divorce him after only hearing that woman's side of the story! His heart felt like it was breaking in two.However, everyone else erupted into cheers. "Good!" “Finally!”Bennet was overjoyed. Finally, he saw the light at the end of the tunnel. Evelyn was kicking that trash to the curb. Once she was single again, there was his chance!Jenny beamed. "I’m so glad for you, Evelyn. You've finally opened your eyes. This guy is a useless leech. He's not worth your time. Once you dump him, you have so many better options.”Without replying to Jenny, Evelyn turned to Elio. "Leave. Don't disturb our gathering anymore. I don't want to see you."Elio was dev

    Everyone was envious when they heard that Natalee was going to sign a contract with Rainbow Media. They showered her with praise, and the men looked at her like she was their idol."As expected of a celebrity. I’m sure these companies are lining up to sign you, Natalee!” "Why haven't I heard of Rainbow Media before? Is it new?"Their flattery went to Natalee’s head. She replied smugly, "Yes, it’s newly established, but it's huge. They have almost a hundred million dollars in assets! My aunt is the deputy general manager there, and I'm their first artist They’re going to focus on making me famous.""Really? Then you’re going to be a superstar! Don’t forget about us when you make it big," Jenny said with a smile."Of course! When I hold a concert, I'll give you VIP tickets for free. You’re my friends, after all." Natalee was also filled with anticipation for her new life. It felt like her dream of holding a concert was about to come true."Yayy! When the time comes, we'll all go t

    Everyone seemed to ignore Elio, which only made Bennet bolder. He pulled out a gift he had picked out with care from his bag, set it on the table, and said with a loving look, "Evelyn, it's your birthday today, and I've brought you a present. I hope you'll take it."All eyes turned to them, especially the girls who were really curious. They saw a sky-blue box with a purple bow. As Bennet lifted the lid, a diamond-studded bracelet sparkled inside, drawing gasps from everyone."Wow, a Tiffany bracelet! That's really pricey, and it's gorgeous!""Bennet's so sweet, giving Evelyn such an expensive bracelet. I'm so jealous!"Bennet grinned proudly. "It wasn't too much, just over $4,500. The important thing is that Evelyn likes it."Evelyn was taken aback. She had not expected such a genuine gesture, a fancy bracelet from a top brand. She could not help but be drawn to it, thinking how perfect and elegant it looked and how nice it would look on her.She knew what Bennet was trying to do

Her bright eyes filled with wonder and questions.They had been married for three years, and even though they had not been close, she had seen him without a shirt before and he never had any tattoos!Now, he had that phoenix rising from the ashes on his back, giving off a wild vibe. Evelyn figured he must have gotten it recently. He had been cruising around in fancy cars, showing off, and then, with that tattoo, he probably turned into a total troublemaker.What nobody knew was that Elio's tattoo was incredibly rare. It was made with the blood of a rainbow phoenix and the bird's feathers, each a different color, creating a stu

    That night, the news about the Aerin Group taking on the shanty town makeover project was all over the Cloudsea TV show. It shook up the whole business world in the city. Bosses from real estate and construction companies were all on the phone, trying to get the scoop.The Aerin Group was pretty new and not well-known in Cloudsea. Now, all of a sudden, it was the talk of the town. The big project that everyone wanted had somehow ended up with them, and it was really weird.The project to fix up the old town was massive, and lots of companies wanted to work on it.

    York nodded non-stop, apologizing. "Got it. Please forgive me. I'm really sorry."With the bill canceled, Elio felt they had done enough. "Let's call it even. Time to go."They walked out, heads high, leaving the staff and the hostesses in awe. York sat on the couch, face grim, and gulped down the fake Louis XIII. It was liquor from some other brand, cleverly resealed to look like the fancy stuff. It tasted pretty good, and hardly anyone could tell it was not the real deal. However, somehow, that kid figured it out. Who was he, anyway?York was fuming. Ever since his shop opened, he had sold bottle after bottle of this top-notch liquor to all sorts of important people, and no one had ever called him out. Now, some nobody had caught him."That little troublemaker, causing a scene in my shop," he grumbled. "Just you wait. I'll take care of you."As the boss was getting worked up and ready to get even, one of the girls spoke up, "That Mr. Rinz seems pretty impressive. I heard he even

    York asked with a friendly smile, "I don't think I've met this young man before. Can someone introduce him?"Yvonne replied with a grin, "This is Mr. Rinz, a dear friend of ours. He's the one who wanted to meet you."York did not know Elio's story, and he looked like an average guy. However, he had ordered three bottles of the fancy Louis XIII cognac and seemed to be friends with some pretty important people, including a famous TV beauty. York could not help but be impressed."Really? I'm super honored and happy to meet you, Mr. Rinz. Hope you'll come to hang out with us more," York said with a big smile. He's the kind of guy who knew just what to say and was ready to shake hands, showing lots of respect. However, Elio did not reach out his hand at all, which made York's smile disappear, and he felt really annoyed inside.Elio just frowned and said, "I think once is enough for this place." Yvonne and the others exchanged puzzled looks. They had no clue why Elio was upset and wh

    "You think you can hit me and get away with it? I could ruin your family in an instant. Now, get out of here, do you hear me?" Tanner yelled at her."You..." Fear flickered in May's eyes. She was too scared to argue, worried about what he might do to her.Jenny let out a sigh, went over to help her friend up, and whispered, "Let's just go. We can't stand up to him. We've just got to deal with this bad luck."May knew the truth. She and Jenny might come from money, but they were nothing compared to Tanner's powerful family. What could she do? If she pushed him too far, she was afraid he might make her disappear for good.May had no choice but to follow her best friend, looking all messy and upset. She did not think she would end up like that, feeling so angry. She was mad at Tanner for messing with her feelings and even madder at Elio, thinking he had a big part in her troubles.The room was super quiet; no one wanted to talk. Tanner was in a bad mood—he got tricked by someone not

    As Evelyn's figure vanished from view, May frowned deeply and sneered, "She's so hopeless. She can't even handle her husband. Being a woman like that is just embarrassing.""Come on, don't be so hard on her," Jenny said. "Evelyn's got guts. She was ready to divorce Elio to stand up for what's right. Friends like her are rare.""Hmph, what good does that do? She still didn't get the stuff back. I really thought she could handle that jerk, but it was a waste," May said, not hiding her scorn."May, just a heads-up," Jenny lowered her voice, "the divorce might be good for Evelyn, but it puts you at risk. I've noticed Tanner looking her way a lot. Be careful."May felt a chill, sensing trouble, but she pushed back, "No way. Tanner told me he only loves me. You're just worrying too much."Jenny could tell what her best friend was thinking but kept it to herself. "Okay, let's just say I didn't mention anything. Let's head back."In the private room, Tanner was eager to hear the news. Wh

    Jenny and May were shocked, staring at each other and not knowing what to do.The couple was at a breaking point. May felt a rush of panic. Did that mean she would never get back the fancy watch and the big Benz? She quickly pulled on Evelyn's arm, trying to tell her friend not to say things she could not take back. However, it was too late."That's for the best," Evelyn snapped. "From now on, we're nothing to each other.""Let's just hope we're both happy from here on out," Elio said, trying to sound indifferent. However, inside, it felt like a thousand needles were poking his heart.Evelyn did not look back. She turned and walked away fast, a cold air swirling around her.Jenny and May ran after her, calling out, "Evelyn, wait up!""Don't leave, wait for us!"Evelyn felt a heavy sadness. They had been married for three years, together every day. To say she felt nothing would be a lie. Even though she never really respected Elio, going their separate ways was still hard to take

    The Seven Fairies Team was a tough bunch, and except for Helen, each one had fought their way to success in the cutthroat world of business. They were not about to let anyone push them around.With a loud "smack," Jenny's cheek stung from a fierce slap. She let out a sharp cry and glared at Yvonne. "Ouch! How dare you hit me?""You insult us, and you think a slap is too much?" Yvonne spat back, her teeth clenched in anger.May was not lucky, either. She, too, got slapped, leaving a bright red mark on her face. Lydia, who did it, shouted at her, "Who are you calling names, huh?"Jenny and May were no pushovers, but now, with their cheeks burning from the slaps and surrounded by a group of fierce-looking girls, they were boiling with rage inside. Yet, they did not dare to strike back, appearing utterly defeated and powerless.It was not the super-tough opponents they needed to worry about. It was the teammates who messed everything up!Evelyn had been sure she could get back those

    The women finally got it—the beautiful woman was Elio's wife. Yarely and the others stood up for a better look.A bunch of girls with eyes as wide as saucers were watching everything unfold, each one silently agreeing that Evelyn was the picture of perfection. It was no surprise that Master Rinz could keep his cool, even with all those stunning girls around him.Evelyn scanned the room, and it hit her—they were all gorgeous girls, and Elio was the only boy. It was just like the old saying: he was the lone rooster in the henhouse.When Yvonne tried to be friendly, Evelyn was not having any of it. She huffed, "Forget it. I just need to talk to Elio about something private. I'll be out of your hair in no time."That made Evelyn seem super stuck-up and hard to talk to. Yarely and the others felt put off, so they just sat back down on the couch.They were all tough cookies, top dogs in their own right.
