Mars Hotel, Stormwind City10:09 p.m.Nicolas took a swig of the extremely pricey wine that was sitting on his table and enjoyed the flavor. A few minutes ago, he finished his dinner and then gave it over to the members of the cleaning staff who had asked for it. He was now reading the lengthy emails that his most reliable contact in Stormwind City had forwarded to him in a cool and collected manner.The e-mails contained numerous possible top-notch deals that needed Nicolas' signature to be signed before the deals could advance, updates on the still-spiking share price of the companies, as well as various other critical documents that needed his attention to review.Nicolas browsed through the e-mails, taking sips of his wine from the glass cup he was using to hold it while scrolling through the e-mails on his iPad. He paid greater attention to the more essential ones that she had sent to him.As Nicolas scanned through the emails, he became aware of a very significant problem that w

Aaron Tyris awoke with a severe migraine and a burning and stinging sensation on the left side of his cheek. There was nausea in addition to the agony. He was suffering from both a migraine and a terrible condition on his left cheek, but the pain on his left cheek was far worse than the migraine. It felt like someone had put a hot iron against his left cheek, which caused the excruciating pain in that area of his face.In addition to this, his skin felt itchy and dry, which was peculiar given that he did not recall doing anything to himself that would have caused his skin to become dry and uncomfortable.He made an effort to lift his arm so that he could pet his left cheek, which was still burning and exceedingly painful, but all of a sudden he realized that he was unable to move his arm in any way. It seemed as though a very powerful and tight object, such as a rope or something similar, was holding it back."What the heck?" Aaron mumbled something, and it was clear from his tone tha

For the hundredth time, Aaron's eyes dilated in shock as he tried to process what had just happened. Since he had first come into contact with Nicolas, the number of occasions on which he had been surprised had clearly surpassed the total number of occasions on which he had been astonished during the entirety of his life."How on earth does he know about Jack Harvey?" Aaron pondered, and the shock in his eyes caused them to become even wider than they already were.The idea that Nicolas may find out about his friendship with Jack Harvey was so absurd that it couldn't possibly be taken seriously."I don't understand how Nicolas could have possibly known about my relationship with Jack Harvey," Aaron thought, refusing to believe his ears."I could have sworn that I had all of my dealings with him in complete secrecy," Aaron thought, completely panicked. Aaron's thoughts were frantic as he struggled to make sense of the revelation that his secret had been exposed.In addition to this, th

"What exactly do you mean by saying that?" The words that Terrence had spoken left Grey Tyris absolutely perplexed, so he asked him. He was a long-time friend of his, but he didn't believe a word of what he was saying since he thought his long-time friend was delusional and absolutely blasphemous.If it weren't for the fact that Terrence was the one who made this statement, he would not even consider it for a second to be a possibility. If it had been anyone other than Terrence who had stated this, the owner of the manor, which was him, would have labeled his long-time friend a lunatic and expelled him a long time ago.The explanation for this was really fairly straightforward.In Stormwind City, there were a total of four overlords.The Tyris familyThe Emerald family controlled the multi-billion-dollar Emerald Group.The Sky family owned and controlled the famous Sky Group, along with several other top business groups.The Russell familyFor as long as he could remember, these four

Nicolas and Charlotte didn't take long to locate his study room, and they entered the room. After that, he proceeded to take a seat behind his delicately carved large mahogany desk, and Charlotte proceeded to take a seat directly across from him on an additional plush chair.Naturally, the purpose of their meeting was to talk about the expansion of the three business organizations in Stormwind City that were now under his control. This was the only topic on their agenda for the meeting.Nicolas sat back in his comfortable chair and prepared to pay attention to Charlotte's report while simultaneously going through the necessary paperwork that Charlotte handed over to him.After handing Nicolas the essential paperwork to review for the day, Charlotte immediately started briefing him on the reports that she had prepared in anticipation of today. She did not waste a single second of Nicolas' time in doing so."We had a very productive week, and this week was very fruitful for us." Charlot
