They had always wanted to expand their companies into Aqua City but were consistently stopped by Ethan. However, when Stephen took over, he welcomed them all without hesitation. Now, Aqua City's economy had become entirely dependent on them, and for that, Oliver and his associates were genuinely grateful to Stephen.Unfortunately, one of Stephen's friends quickly snatched the gift box and threw it violently to the ground. An exquisite blue and white porcelain piece fell out and shattered instantly.Stephen's friend froze when he saw it was not a phone or a recording device. It was a genuine gift!They immediately realized their mistake. They had smashed the wrong thing!An elderly man rushed over and picked up the porcelain fragments to examine them. As he looked, he became even more aghast."This porcelain is over 500 years old! It’s a true one-of-a-kind antique! How could this happen?"He was devastated. The blue and white porcelain was not just valuable—its collectible and his

Everyone now knew that Stephen had been mocked by all his enemies at his wedding. The South Regent had even sent him a blood-stained bullet, signaling his intent for revenge.In spite of such a massive show of disrespect, Stephen did not dare to say a word. All he did was call the police after the aggressors had fled, making him look pathetic."He's destroyed the Quinn family's reputation.""Is he really the Grand Marshal's mentee? He's such a coward.""If he were truly the Grand Marshal's mentee, would the South Regent act so brazenly?""If he can't handle it, maybe we should bring back the person who used to manage Riveria."Reading the online comments almost made Stephen throw his phone in rage.Rachel, who had just showered and changed into casual clothes, glanced at Stephen and said, "Don't come near me until you figure out what you did wrong."Then, she went upstairs to her room, and the door slammed shut.Stephen hung his head low. Sitting on the sofa, he could not unde

Having once served alongside Ethan, Marcus knew just how terrifying Ethan could be.…Three years ago, there were nine fighters from beyond the border whose combat abilities matched or exceeded those of military experts like himself. Some had even crawled their way up from battlefields of corpses, their abilities surpassing Marcus and his peers. They were known as the nine deadliest assassins beyond the border. Among them, Number Three was the strongest as he could face any three opponents simultaneously without losing ground. Marcus believed that even in one-on-one combat, he would not be a match for Number Three. It was during that time that the South Regent offered 300 million dollars to the nine fighters to eliminate Ethan. The Grand Marshal had only recently passed away back then, and the military experts were concerned about Ethan's safety. If anything happened to Ethan, the consequences would be disastrous. Marcus, in particular, wanted to give Ethan full-time protection

Andy’s mind was filled with questions. He could not understand why his mentor would sit down when his foe invited them to. It was humiliating! Ethan calmly said, “There’s tea in the pot. If you want some, help yourself.”Marcus picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Ethan and himself. Holding the hot tea cup in his hands gave him a small sense of comfort. “Your tea is as good as ever.” Ethan smiled. “How’s life been over the past three years?” “Not bad.” “I heard you got married.” “Yeah. I have a daughter now, and she’s two this year. If I knew I was meeting you today, I would have brought her along.” Ethan’s smile widened as he said, “Congratulations.” Marcus simply smiled and nodded. Ethan then asked, “It’s been three years. I suppose you’re still sharp?” Marcus immediately tensed up, a nervous smile appearing on his face. “I guess so.” Ethan could tell Marcus had grown complacent over the years. “Don’t worry. The blood you shed for Riveria is enoug

The South Regent owning a company in Riveria was unacceptable. It was disrespectful to Stephen and the others. That would be a chance for Andy to prove himself. Stephen asked, “Why do you ask?” Andy chuckled and said, “Nothing. I have something else to do. Talk to you later.” With that, he got up and left. As soon as he left Stephen’s place, he booked a ticket to Hill City. He did not ask Stephen which company belonged to the South Regent, but he believed he could easily locate it by asking around. After Andy got onto the plane, Marcus realized the young man was gone. He tried calling Andy but could not get through since the phone was turned to airplane mode. “Where is he?” He sent someone to find out where Andy had gone earlier. A while later, he dropped by Stephen’s place as it was the last place Andy had been seen. When Stephen saw Marcus at his house, he furrowed his brows. He had never seen the man before. “Who are you?” “I’m Andy’s mentor, Marcus West.” “Y
