All Chapters of Rise of Power: Return of The Pathetic Commoner: Chapter 231 - Chapter 240

DAYS AFTER the new video game was launched by the Remington Corporation with August’s lead on the market, the users couldn’t help but register as beta gamers and try the game. At first, only the first two hundred registrants could play the game so the Strategy Department could get feedback and modify the game based on it, but after a month of countless trial and error to make the game reach perfection, the Remington Corporation released it to everyone who wanted to play. “The Remington Corporation’s new video game is now the top hit in the Play Stores nationwide!” “Despite their first time to release a product which wasn’t aligned to their main industry, the Remington Corporation was gaining overwhelmingly positive feedback from the gamers! Even the gaming experts told in their interviews that the game was formulated precisely!” “As the Remington Corporation had an exclusive partnership with the Johnson Gamings for the new video game, their good relationship had impacted positivel

AS ANOTHER day passes, the Remington Corporation and Sandoval Corporation were busy with their hectic schedules and strategies to fight against each other. It was still all about the issues circulating about them—About that one video game that Bruce and August were debating about.Both of them only have one goal—To gain their company’s innocence and to clean up the issues as fast and as discreetly as they could. With that, August had a meeting with the legal department regarding the case.The lawyers needed to prove two things: The authenticity of the game ‘Hospital Tycoon,’ and Bruce Sandoval gaining credit on a proposal that isn’t his in the first place without the creator’s consent.“If you need more evidence to pr

“SHIT!” August muttered angrily and was shocked as he was able to jump back, hitting his back on the wall as he dodged the attempted stab at him.“August? Hello? What’s happening there?” Daphne asked on the other line as he heard August cursing, but the latter didn’t answer him immediately. August became more attentive to his surroundings as he didn’t have any idea how an attacker was able to infiltrate the Remington mansion’s high security—Or he wasn’t sure if he could even call it high because an intruder was now inside his room.“I’ll explain to you everything. I’ll call you later,” said August as he hung up the call without waiting for Daphne to reply. After that, he fixed his stance as he stared at the attacker intently. “Who are you?” he asked, his gaze moving toward the brown envelope he was holding, making him frown. “Why are you holding a confidential document?”“That’s the main reason why I’m holding this—Because it’s confidential,” the guy replied nonchalantly. “Young mas

“IT’S FROM the Wellington family, Sir August. According to our investigation, Mr. Wesley Wellington had been cooperating with the media, gaining connection with them,” the IT department employee informed, causing August to lean on the chair while massaging his forehead.“Alright. Thank you for your good work,” August said and ended the call afterward.August went silent as he pondered on his thoughts. Aside from the media, Wesley had gained the Board of Directors' attention and trust too, given that some of his directors, particularly Sarah, wanted to get the company from him.It was only now that August realized that not all his competitors were outside the company. Some of them were lurking from the inside, too. With that, he needed to heighten his security as he couldn’t let all his father’s hardships go down the drain.“I need to defend my position as the chairman,” August muttered as he stared at the ceiling. “Without it and my wealth, I will be as good as a pathetic commoner.”A

SHE IS the most stupid person in the world, and she knows it. Samantha couldn’t help but look at August in disbelief, the pain and betrayal registering upon her facial expression.“August… You can’t do this to me…” Samantha mumbled as her knees went wobbly. If not only for the table in front of her, she might be sitting on the floor now. “This isn’t what we have talked about…”“I know,” August said, and Samantha didn’t notice that he was just done talking to someone on the phone. “That’s why it is called betrayal. It’s painful, especially when you’re feeling desperate.”“How can you do this to me? I am your girlfriend!” Samantha exclaimed, gritting her teeth and clenching her jaw.“Ex-girlfriend, Samantha,” August corrected before he heaved a sigh. “Our relationship was over years ago.”As if on cue, two guards entered August’s office and took Samantha away, just like what he did yesterday. He could even hear Samantha cursing and begging him at the same time before the guard closed th
