Charlotte walked in nervously, her hands tightly clasped together. She looked like she hardly dared to breathe. There was a flicker of anxiety on her pretty face as she looked at Zack, her eyes filled with respect.Even just standing before him made her feel uneasy. Her humblest side was on full display.Zack glanced at her before saying with a faint smile, "My apologies, Ms. Shaw, but I had a phone call earlier. Do go ahead and tell me why you have come to see me today on behalf of the Shaws."Charlotte glanced at Zack. Her palms were sweaty. Although she had been standing outside the office earlier, she overheard a bit of Zack's conversation and heard him addressing the other person as chief. She even deduced from his tone that he considered himself a subordinate to the person on the other end, even going so far as to await the other's arrival.That was entirely shocking news to her, of course. Zack was not only the richest man in Lormford City but also the head of the Lormford

Smiling faintly, Zack replied, "Up till today, five of the Six Great Families of Lormford City, including your family, have spoken to me about this. We'll have to discuss it some other time. I'll give this matter my full consideration. The Shaws are also in the running, of course."Charlotte pursed her lips and clutched the edge of her skirt tightly. Biting her lip, she said with a conflicted expression, "Please do give us your full consideration, Mr. Larson."Zack sipped his drink and nodded without saying anything else. Charlotte knew this was a sign he wanted her to leave, but she dared not take any offense. He had already shown enough courtesy by meeting her in person.She turned to leave, but suddenly, she turned back around and said, "May I be so bold as to ask you something, Mr. Larson?""Go on."Charlotte's gaze flickered. Blushing slightly, she said, "My grandpa told me that when you had a meal with him, you mentioned wanting to introduce someone to me…"Zack was taken a

The elevator doors opened with a ding, and Charlotte lifted one of her long, slender legs to step into the elevator.At the same time, the doors of the elevator on the side opened, and Timothy stepped out. Taking in the opulence of the place, he tutted and remarked, "How lavish. He sure knows how to enjoy himself."Startled, Charlotte had a strange expression on her face. Why did she get the feeling she had heard Timothy's voice? That was impossible. She wanted to stick her head out of the elevator to check, but the doors started closing just as she was about to.Charlotte shook her head. Thinking that it was impossible anyway, she couldn't be bothered to open the doors back up. After all, Timothy came from an impoverished family, and his parents collected trash for a living. How could he possibly show up here?As the doors finally closed for good, she stopped dwelling on it.Timothy had no clue that Charlotte had entered the elevator beside him. He strode to Zack's office, wh

"I've heard some rumors about this, and now that I'm back, I plan to take care of these moles," Timothy said. "So far, only the Norgon has been exposed, but I'm sure others are hiding in the shadows." He continued, "You can't reveal my identity to anyone yet. I don't want anything to interfere with my business. Do you understand?"Zack nodded respectfully. "Understood, Mr. Yeager!""Alright, that's about it. I came to meet you mainly for those two matters. I'll contact you if anything else arises."With that, Timothy stood up and walked out of the office. Meanwhile, Zack watched his retreating figure with admiration.He could tell Timothy wasn't an average man from his words. Caelumis was bound to succeed with someone like him in charge.Without wasting time, Zack instantly assigned his subordinates to investigate Tiana's accident and searched for the medicinal ingredients Timothy needed.As night fell, Lormford City gradually came to life, its street aglow with sparkling light

Cora and Joseph remained still.Cora's expression changed from fear to confusion, skepticism, and eventually disbelief. Her voice trembled as she asked, "Tiana, what did you just say? Can you say it again? I can't believe it."With tears running down her face, Tiana repeated, "Mom, I can feel my leg again!"Hearing her words made Cora and Joseph burst into tears. It had been three years since Tiana's leg was paralyzed after that accident.In those three years, she had lost sensation in her leg. Every doctor had deemed her leg beyond hope, stating that it was entirely impossible to be treated.Yet, she could suddenly feel her leg again, which meant there was a chance for recovery.Cora held Tiana tightly, her voice choked with passion as she sobbed, "There's hope for you, Tiana!"Joseph wiped away his tears and patted Timothy on the shoulder. "Good job, son!"Timothy grinned and looked at Tiana. "I've already asked someone to look for the medicinal ingredients. Once they arrive,

Timothy swallowed the words at the tip of his mouth when he saw the smiles on his parents' faces.Cora was beaming with excitement, a feeling she hadn't experienced in a long time.Her son had returned home safely, had a fiancée, had excellent medical skills, and almost had a job. Meanwhile, there was hope for her daughter's leg to be treated.Suddenly, life seemed full of hope, and the wrinkles on her face seemed to disappear.The light in the hall was dim, and Timothy glanced at his surroundings. The walls were dirty, the floor cracked, the windows were drafty, and the roof leaked. The entire house was damp and dreary.He couldn't help but frown and ponder momentarily before saying, "Mom, Dad, you should start packing. We'll find a time to move out of here."The elderly couple was taken aback. "Move out? Where will we move? We don't have a house."Timothy smiled and answered, "I have a house big enough for all of us. Besides, the environment is much better than here. This old

"If you have anything to say, just say it, darling. There's no need to be so serious," Timothy teased with a cheeky grin.Mavis' face flushed bright crimson as she gritted her teeth in frustration. Her eyes were full of embarrassment and rage as she warned, "Timothy, for the last time, stop calling me darling!""You told me this afternoon that if you lost, I can call you darling. You're the CEO of a large corporation like Jefferson Group, but you can't keep your promises?"His words made her expression tightened. After a few seconds of silence, she reluctantly gave in. "You can call me that in private, but don't do it in public."Timothy silently chuckled. He hadn't expected the proud woman to give in. After all, she was pretty stubborn.He didn't want to push his luck and agreed happily. "No problem, darling! Tell me, what do you want to talk about?"When he stressed the word "darling", Mavis felt extremely uncomfortable. The feeling of being called that by a man who used to pic

Mavis sneered. "You'll never get to kiss me, so get ready to run naked. I'll send you my account number later. I can't wait to see how you plan to impress me." With that, she hung up the phone.A few seconds later, Timothy's phone chimed with a message from her that included her account number.He smiled mischievously and thought, "Mavis, just wait and see how I'll make you regret being so aloof tonight. My kisses will melt away that cold front you've been putting up."He glanced back at the dimly lit courtyard, then quietly slipped away. At the street corner, he rubbed his palms together and pondered how to make money.Timothy wasn't short of money. His card balance could buy several islands in a medium-sized country. Although he could just have someone transfer the money to Mavis, he found that idea too boring. Since he had nothing else to do after returning to Lormford City, he decided to have some fun.Suddenly, an idea struck him. He flicked the ash from his cigarette and h

Timothy remained silent and enjoyed the show. Cecilia knelt and looked up with a sensuous gaze. She bit her red lip and asked, "Master, do you want me?"Timothy's expression was one of amusement, and his emotions remained inscrutable to Cecilia. She slowly reached out and touched Timothy's belt. As she observed the changes before her, her eyes were filled with shock. She gasped subtly, swallowing hard. The comparison between Leon and Timothy was like night and day.Her cheeks flushed as she looked up at Timothy, her eyes full of astonishment. It wasn't for any reason other than the fact that Timothy was… simply too overwhelming. She had dated several guys and had seen plenty, but none could compare to Timothy. Her hands trembled as she tried to undo his belt. Her throat felt dry, and she licked her lips nervously. She made a few attempts but ultimately failed. A light sheen of sweat formed on her face.Timothy continued to watch her, feeling amused as she knelt in front of him

"Time to die." A whisper, like the voice of death, echoed in Leon's ear. Just as he was about to speak, Timothy's hand moved in front of him—a simple, light swipe.Leon's body froze instantly. Seconds later, his lifeless body collapsed to the floor. Cecilia looked at Leon's body and let out a hysterical scream. Leon's face was gone—his entire face was gone! Where his face used to be was now a flat, bone-smooth surface, as if it had been cut by a saw. The cut was so clean and smooth that it looked terrifyingly unreal. It was a gruesome sight.Cecilia had never witnessed something so horrifying. After her scream, her voice was caught in her throat as fear consumed her. Her stomach churned, and she couldn't hold back as she vomited. She slid down to the floor, looking disheveled. She looked at Timothy with tears welling up in her eyes. Her face was absolutely pale as she sobbed, shaking like a leaf. "Please… Please spare me… I'm begging you…"Timothy's eyes darkened, a bloodt

Leon's expression was twisted in anger as he shouted, "Did you think I'm powerless against the likes of you? Raise your hands and get on your knees!"Timothy wasn't the least bit surprised. He stared at Leon with deep, intense eyes. "Put the gun down. I don't like being aimed at."Leon cocked the gun and loaded it with a click. His finger rested on the trigger as he sneered. "You're still acting tough at a time like this. I'll admit that you're gutsy, but you must die here today."Timothy shook his head with a regretful expression. "I told you I don't like being aimed at. Put the gun down. If I'm in a good mood, I might spare your life. But if you don't put it down in three seconds, I'll have no choice but to send you to hell.""Send me to hell? You don't have what it takes! I've been with Blackgeld for years. I've seen it all," Leon responded.Timothy's expression shifted as he asked, "Has someone in Blackgeld been planning to kidnap Mavis Jefferson, the CEO of Jefferson Group, l

Leon laughed heartily and reached out to grope Cecilia's ample bosom. She let out a soft moan, squeezing her legs together instinctively as arousal traveled up her body. She wrapped herself around Leon like a snake, her eyes seductive as she bit her lip.She whispered, "Leon, I want it again. Come and give it to me."Leon's eyes became bloodshot. "Oh, you little vixen. It seems like you're not satiated yet. I'll make sure you get more than you bargained for today!" He flipped over, positioning himself on top of Cecilia. Just as they were about to enjoy their moment, a knock came from outside. "Hey, open up. Don't be a coward," Timothy called out.Leon shouted mockingly, "Idiot, did you think I'd be stupid enough to just stand where I was and wait for you? You've taken the bait. You're dead meat now!"Outside, Timothy shrugged helplessly and said, "If you open the door now and apologize on your knees, I'll leave your corpse intact. If you don't, things won't end well for you whe

Cecilia stared in disbelief at the man downstairs. It was like something straight out of a movie, yet it was happening vividly right before her eyes. She had never imagined that in real life, someone could actually take on dozens, or even hundreds of men alone. Timothy demonstrated what it meant to be fiercely skilled. Those thugs wielding machetes and clubs became nothing more than straw men in front of him. Every punch, every kick, every movement of his body became a deadly weapon. No one could get close to him. It was as if he had some kind of sixth sense for dodging attacks. He consistently slipped away just before the weapons could land. Timothy moved effortlessly with a relaxed expression. Every one of his moves was fluid and purposeful. One thug after another fell. They were reduced to nothing more than bouncy balls in the courtyard, as they were sent flying in all directions by Timothy's kicks. With each casual slap or kick, someone would be launched through the air.

At that moment, Leon was just done having his way with Cecilia in a luxurious villa. Cecilia lay naked on the bed, her face flushed. Her fair, long legs were posed seductively. Leon, breathing heavily, touched Cecilia's smooth bottom and grinned wickedly. "Babe, you've gotten even better. I almost couldn't handle you."Cecilia looked at him with a seductive gaze, tracing circles on his chest with her finger as she said sweetly, "Leon, I have my eye on a new bag recently. It's so pretty. I want it so badly.""If you want it, just buy it. How much is it?"Cecilia's face lit up, and she replied coquettishly, "It's around 80 thousand dollars."Leon, puffing on a cigar, scoffed. "80 thousand? That's nothing."He got up and walked to the safe in the corner of the bedroom. Then, he entered the code. Cecilia looked over and was stunned. The safe was full of cash and gold bars! Her heart raced as she also saw a gun inside. It was the first time in her life she had seen one, and she was

The store assistant became excited and recounted, "It was a young man, and he just left the store. He didn't dress well and didn't look wealthy. But he came in, barely glanced around, and bought a bracelet. "That bracelet was close to three million dollars, and he bought it right away! We've been in business for several years. This is the first time I've seen someone who keeps such a low profile."Susan was stunned, and Jason was equally shocked. He looked at Susan, swallowed hard, and stammered, "Could it be… Timothy?"Beside him, Susan did her best to suppress the shock she was feeling and asked the store assistant, "Can you describe what he looked like and what he was wearing?"The store assistant described him briefly, and Susan was absolutely flabbergasted. The person she described was indeed Timothy!She felt like she'd just been struck by a bolt of lightning that left her head buzzing. She couldn't believe that Timothy had bought a bracelet that was about three million dol

Susan had broken up with Timothy and cheated on him back then because he was poor. If Timothy was rich now, it would be a bitter pill to swallow for her. But on the other hand, she felt something for Timothy deep in her heart. It was a kind of feeling that she couldn't quite place her finger on. After all, she had genuinely loved Timothy back then. She ultimately left him because he was dirt poor. If he was rich now, wasn't there a possibility for them to rekindle their relationship?Susan refused to believe that Timothy had no lingering feelings for her at all. Back then, he had been so deeply in love with her. In the present time, it didn't seem like he had a girlfriend or a woman by his side. Even if he did, she was probably nowhere as good as her.Those two conflicting thoughts occupied Susan's mind. As such, a conflicted expression appeared on her beautiful, delicate face. Timothy had no idea what was going through Susan's mind at that moment. If he knew, he would have tol

Susan bit her lip, and a complicated expression appeared on her face. Since she and Timothy had been in a relationship in the past, meeting again at this moment was somewhat awkward. After a brief silence, Susan bit her lip again and forced a smile at Timothy. "We meet again. Are you shopping at the mall too? What a coincidence."Timothy shrugged. "It's not a pleasant coincidence, though. After all, someone here clearly doesn't welcome my presence."Without a doubt, he was referring to Jason. Jason's expression soured in response. He glared at Timothy and scoffed coldly as he said mockingly, "It's good that you know. Indeed, I don't wish to see your face. Running into you brings bad luck."He looked Timothy up and down before sneering again, remarking, "It's not that I have bad luck—it's this place. How could someone as broke as you even think of coming here?"Susan tugged at Jason's hand and said with a frown, "Jason, we're all classmates here. Is it necessary to be so harsh w
