That evening, Jonathan, as promised, made his appearance at the Jade Light teahouse in the city center. At that moment, Esther, dressed in a black silk outfit and sporting a pair of sunglasses, was seated within the teahouse. "Why did you suddenly remember to call me?" Jonathan approached, smiling and asked, while instructing the waitstaff: "I’ll have a cup of cooling tea, please." “I heard that the Heavenly Emperor Group from New York has arrived here, and there's intense competition with your Seven Wonders Group. You must be quite busy these days?”, Esther probed. These days, two news items were creating a buzz in the Southwest. Firstly, Esther's 'Big City' had just aired and become famous, turning into the most successful show of the year. More than a decade later, the name Esther is again a household name. One could say her comeback was immensely successful. The second piece of news was that the Heavenly Emperor Group had entered the Southwest, facing off against the Seve

The name Nathan Wang bore a quite formidable origin. Upon Nathan's birth, Toshan Wang of the Wang family had invited a great master from Dragon Mountain to name his son. The master scrutinized Nathan's fate and proclaimed him to have the destiny of a holy dragon's ascension, suggesting the implication of an exceptional ruler. Without hesitation, the name Nathan was given! Followed by the surname Wang. The master even took Nathan to Dragon Mountain to nurture him for sixteen years. Back in those New York days, although Nathan was taken to Dragon Mountain right after his birth, his name had been circulating around New York for years on end. After sixteen years, people eventually stopped mentioning the name Nathan, but he had returned. Within a week of his return, he had trampled over the reigning top dog of that time, making his name reverberate throughout New York! Following that, New York was astir for a year, with any upstart being ruthlessly suppressed by him to the point of

Atop the Sky Building's rooftop. Jonathan and Drake successively appeared, the wind on the rooftop was fierce. At this moment, Augustus was already waiting there. He slowly turned around and cast his gaze upon Jonathan. Not that it was Augustus's first or second encounter with Jonathan, but each time he seemed more stern and filled with increasing admiration. "I didn't expect you to outwit me, Jonathan. Wolfgang chose you for a reason." Jonathan closed the distance, maintaining a three-meter gap between himself and Augustus, and spoke: "It's merely a fluke. Had Isaac not betrayed us, I probably wouldn't have thought of this strategy." Augustus smirked and nodded. Indeed, without Isaac's treachery, how could Jonathan have orchestrated this diversionary tactic? Or, for instance, had Augustus himself paid a visit to the Clarke estate today, this opportunity would have been missed. But why would Augustus bother to keep a vigil over a small place like Isaac's estate? It wasn't tha

Ariella nodded firmly: "I didn't know about this at all. But as you know, the Primordial Stone investment case hasn't ended. I occasionally have to visit Slab! That's how I found out your family has come looking for you. Just that..." Ariella didn't beat around the bush and said: "Derek has impersonated you, claiming to be the son the Henry family adopted back then! He's supposed to return with your family in three days and become a rich man's son!" "Jonathan, your family is incredibly wealthy! The convoy that came to pick you up was all Bentleys, each costing several million!" Ariella's tone perked up as she remarked on this last point, licking her lips as if she could taste the luxury. A single Bentley was usually a sign of prosperity for most wealthy families, but Jonathan's people had brought an entire fleet. A fleet of Bentleys? Jonathan furrowed his brow in thought. If what Ariella said was true, he might know which family was looking for him. There were some irregularities

“I have no desire to join the military nor to venture to the North." Jonathan replied solemnly. Fane was slightly taken aback, as he did not expect Jonathan's refusal. How could the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Northern Military Zone not be appealing? “Jonathan, this isn't a matter you can simply opt out of! Sooner or later, the Wang family will discover that Derek is a fraud, and when they do, they will come looking for you. The fact that Nathan Wang's son is still alive is a ticking time bomb for their family! Even if they don't kill you, they'll play you like puppets." "The Northern Military Zone is the only place to protect you in our country." After saying goodbye to Fane, Jonathan returned to Phoebe's house. Whether he would go to the Northern Military Zone remained a matter of disagreement between the two. Truthfully, even though Jonathan appeared calm on the surface, he was in a state of turmoil internally. Suddenly aware of his heritage and learning that his b
