Yoel shuddered as he sensed the icy aura radiating from Howard. He knew the boss was seething with anger. If Howard's suspicions turned out to be true, Ciolara was in for a storm!At the same time, as they drove back to Mendorra, the Shadow Sect's Eastern District was buzzing with activity. Nearly 20000 of their men sprang into action, converging in different locations.The Eastern District's power players were all abuzz, scrambling to find out why the Shadow Sect was on the move. Something big was definitely going down.By nightfall, a shocking piece of news spread like wildfire through the district. The Dark Shady Cartel's ten local branches had been taken down in a clean sweep, and every single member was behind bars.The news left the other factions in awe. The Shadow Sect had flexed its muscles and crushed the centuries-old Dark Shady Cartel without breaking a sweat.In everyone's mind, the image of a kingly figure loomed large—only the head honcho of the Shadow Sect could pu

"Nothing at all!" Howard replied with a gentle smile and a shake of his head. "It just popped into my mind, so I thought I'd ask."As he spoke, he took the pendant from Talia, examining it closely, yet nothing seemed out of the ordinary."This pendant means something special to you, doesn't it?" Talia asked with a knowing smile. "Here, I'm giving it back to its rightful owner. Just make sure you don't lose it, okay?"She was no fool. She did not buy for a second that the pendant had just randomly come to Howard's mind.She could read the truth in his eyes. It brought back the memory from five years ago when Howard, on the brink of unconsciousness, had gripped the pendant as if he feared losing it more than anything.She had meant to give it back to him a couple of days ago, but life got in the way, and it slipped her mind."Thanks, love," Howard said with a smile. "It does hold a special place in my heart. I'll explain it to you one day, alright?"He never expected Talia to offe

Chapter 253

Yoel could feel the internal constraints beginning to give way, catching a glimpse of hope on the horizon."Stay focused!" Howard's voice cut through the tension."Mm!" Yoel nodded, his mind laser-focused, as he engaged his inner discipline, energy coursing through him.Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!The air around them turned vicious with the energy of unseen blades, leaving deep, alarming gashes not only on the pavilion's pillars but also on the trunks of nearby Honey Locust trees."Break!" After another stretch of 10 minutes, Howard commanded in a resonant tone, pulling back his hand.In an instant, a forceful burst of energy erupted from Yoel, sending the pavilion crumbling to the ground as if it were made of tissue paper. The grass was uprooted and flung skyward, tree trunks snapped, and a whirlwind of withered leaves filled the air.As the wave of energy subsided, Yoel exhaled a heavy breath of stale air and opened his eyes, a spark of triumph dancing in his gaze."Two levels at

In Ciolara, a zone under strict control, an office became the setting for a quiet encounter.An elderly man in simple attire sat comfortably on a couch, his presence commanding the room.The door opened. In walked another elder, Ezra Taylor, with a teacup in hand."Take a seat," the first man said, nodding toward the couch.Ezra settled in and asked, "What's on your mind?""You've caught wind of the kid's latest feat, right?" The man in plain clothes offered Ezra a cigarette."This is the outcome you were hoping for, wasn't it?" Ezra replied calmly, accepting the smoke."Why can't you ever just give a straight answer?" The man shot Ezra with a sharp look."Have I ever been wrong?" Ezra retorted, lighting up and inhaling deeply."Ever since he set foot in Mendorra, you've been two steps ahead. You sly old fox!""I've always had his best interests at heart," the man said, taking a drag himself. "However, there's something you might not have heard.""What's that?" Ezra leaned i

"What's the deal with Donovan's spot? Can't just leave it empty like this. Xander's not cutting it in the East District, it's starting to spiral.""We're still hashing out the plan," the old man replied. "Some are saying to split the East District in two. Others want to lump it with the West District, keep it all under one roof.""What's your take?" Ezra asked."Power comes with responsibility, and standing out can bring trouble. Might not be the best for him," the old man said, his tone even."You're thinking too much. From what I know of him, he wouldn't take the East District even if you handed it to him on a silver platter," Ezra shot back."I'm well aware," the old man nodded.After he finished her thought, he stared off into the distance, a contemplative look on his face."I might just have the right person for the job, but it's up to him to decide if he's up for it."It was Talia's third day at the Swanson Group, whose offices were nestled in the bustling downtown of Men

"After last quarter's meeting, your marketing team promised confidently that you could secure an eighty percent payment collection rate. So, what happened?"Don't you realize that if this keeps up, our company's cash flow will be on the edge, ready to snap?""Ms. Coleman, Ms. Jenkins has only been with us for three days. She's not up to speed on all this yet," Nance interjected, rising to her feet."Is that supposed to be an excuse? If she's in that role, she needs to own it!" Yazmine cut her off."If we let every newbie off the hook, then with your department's rapid turnover, who's going to manage our sales and ensure we get paid?""But..." Nance began again."Ms. Coleman, good to meet you!" Talia cut in before Nance could finish, standing up."I've reviewed some reports over the last couple of days, and yes, our collection rates have been low. However, I assure you that from this quarter on, we'll push it past eighty percent.""Talk is cheap!" Yazmine scoffed. "The last thre

"The man Yazmine mentioned, Larry Gabrick, is the Executive VP. He's been away on business, so you haven't crossed paths yet. He's a notorious creep, using his clout in Mendorra to harass the women here at the office."Several colleagues have fallen victim to him, and the three managers before you were all ousted for standing up to his predatory behavior."And Yazmine? She's so overbearing because she's tight with him!""Huh?" Talia was taken aback again. "And the General Manager, Ms. Radanov, just lets this happen?""Ms. Radanov is in a tough spot herself. She's just a hired executive, and Mr. Gabrick doesn't even give her a second thought," Nance explained.Nance's phone rang at that moment, her expression shifting as she checked the caller ID."Got it," she said after the call, inhaling deeply before turning to Talia. "Larry summoned me to his office.""Did he ever...you know, come onto you before?" Talia asked, her brow furrowed with concern.Nance nodded grimly. "A couple

Chapter 258

It took less than a minute for Kenny to see Talia's picture on the screen and start choking on his coffee, tears welling up in his eyes."Mr. Carter, are you alright?" Lacee asked, her surprise evident.Sure, Talia was a looker, but it was not like she was a showstopper. She could not help but silently judge Kenny. For someone of his stature to lose composure over a pretty face seemed beneath him."Does she...work here?" Kenny managed to get out between coughs."Yes, Ms. Jenkins is a recent hire, just three days in," Lacee said, a bit puzzled. "Mr. Carter, do you know Ms. Jenkins?"As Kenny spoke, Lacee realized she might have misread the situation.Kenny took a deep, silent breath, trying to compose himself.Before that incident, he had casually asked Howard if they should just slot Talia into a position at Oceania Group's Mendorra branch. Howard's response was clear: Talia wanted to land a job on her own merit, not ride in on someone else's coattails. Thus, he did not give it

"Mr. Gabrick, Nance is on my team. From now on, I'd appreciate it if you'd come to me with any work plans, and I'll handle the delegation," Talia said, trying to ignore the discomfort his gaze caused her."Wow. Only a few days in and already pulling rank?" Larry's eyes narrowed with a hint of challenge."This isn't about rank. It's standard operating procedure," Talia shot back, her voice icy. "I expect you to respect that and not go over my head to assign tasks to my team.""Someone's feeling authoritative," Yazmine chimed in, entering the office with a quick, judgmental glance at Talia. "You dodge the department's targets, claiming you're too new to know better. And now, here you are, grabbing for power. You're quite the revelation.""Ms. Coleman, I'm in the middle of a conversation with Mr. Gabrick, which doesn't concern the finance department, last I checked," Talia said, her brow furrowing in annoyance."Oh, please," Yazmine scoffed, her voice dripping with disdain. "You're a

"Ms. Jenkins, I'm so sorry. This is all my fault," muttered Nance ruefully."It's not on you," Talia replied, offering a reassuring smile. "Look, even if this hadn't happened, something else would have. As long as he's around, I was bound to quit eventually.""But still, it all started because of me, I..." Nance tried to explain."It's not about you," Talia reassured her with another smile.Nance took a deep breath, steeling herself with resolve, and turned to Larry with a defiant gaze. "I'm done with this place too. Consider this my official resignation!""Get out!" Larry exploded, his voice booming with anger. "Both of you, get out of my company now!""It's you who should be leaving!" At that moment, a commanding voice cut through the tension. Lacee strode in, flanked by a group of people."Ms. Radanov!" Talia and Nance exclaimed in unison at the sight of Lacee."Ms. Radanov," Yazmine muttered with a sneer, clearly unimpressed.Lacee, the company's general manager, might not
