News of Carlos's arrest quickly surfaced in the financial and social sections of major media outlets. Due to the prior popularity of Magic Effects and the extraordinary display of love by Eve following her award-winning design, the public was keenly interested and concerned about their fate.Once hailed as the most talented couple, the woman's imprisonment on charges of rape, fraud, slander, and other crimes led the man to follow suit shortly after. They impressively transformed into the most unethical pair.Public attention towards them did not diminish at all, in fact, it surged every day.Many began questioning the reasons for Carlos's arrest, but because the case was still under probation, it was uncomfortable for the police to disclose information, so they remained unresponsive.Kalix covertly assisted tax officials in breaching Carlos's firewall and manipulated the accounting system of Dom&Tech. Ruthlessly, he pushed the company into a pit, then turned around and used one of the

On the other side of the screen, a beautiful woman walks towards Kalix, smiling slightly, murmuring, “What are you up to?” She places her hand on Kalix's shoulder, leaning down to plant a soft kiss on his cheek.“Wait,” Kalix declines, not appearing angry. “Let me handle Carlos first.”Carlos's eyes widen, but he isn't surprised. He's aware of the relationship between Kalix and Eugene—they're lovers. No wonder Celeste Group is willing to assist State-of-the-Art.“Okay,” Eugene steps back, glancing briefly at the computer screen, then tells Kalix, “Uncle Snyder has arrived. Don't stay down too long, or he'll scold you again.”Eugene's tone is neither hushed nor secretive, allowing Carlos to carefully hear her words. He notices when Eugene casually refers to “Uncle Snyder,” as if they have a relationship beyond acquaintanceship or mere business ties.“Snyder... who is he to you?” Carlos unconsciously asks.Kalix looks at him calmly, a mocking smile playing on his lips as he replies, “My

In the end, Kalix was reassured by the system, which stated, "I don't sense the presence of any other system, so it's highly likely that person has just been reborn."Kalix nodded, "Do you know from which year that person is?""I don't know, it seems like they weren't a significant or important person. They probably only knew a few things about Dominic's family and allies.""You're right," replied Kalix, finally feeling more at ease. He no longer thought about Mason's seemingly advanced and youth-appealing political tactics.The timeline in his previous life and the current one was precisely the same, where Mason replaced the governor and slowly gained fame through his sweet-sounding and highly educated words. However, it was nothing compared to one heroic act towards the end of his term, giving him a great chance to win the people's votes when he ran again.And that heroic act was suddenly reported this year, which should have been a few years ahead, becoming Mason's biggest trump ca

Snyder knew that his brother, Gio Mananov, wouldn’t and couldn’t hide in the shadows to get things done, but he didn’t expect that the man would be so foolish to resort to something like this.He raised his head to negotiate with the man, “I’ll pay you ten times what Gio Mananov offered.”The man remained silent, walked to the video recorder, played it briefly, and then aimed the camera at Snyder.Snyder’s face darkened slightly, but his tone remained unchanged as he teased, “As long as you allow me to call my assistant, the money will be in your account within 5 minutes.”Upon hearing this, the man looked at that handsome face, revealing a wicked smile. After all, having been in this game for so long, even if Snyder’s offer was ten times tempting, he wouldn’t sacrifice his own brand for this business.The man took out a needle and approached Snyder, saying, “I suggest you be honest, or I won’t just record a video. Imagine how scandalous it would be for the people in Urdanica if they

When Snyder woke up, he smelled the unique disinfectant scent of the hospital even before opening his eyes. Lifting his eyelids, his vision was gray as if covered by a veil, there was a white ceiling above his head and white walls around him.Hearing movement in the hospital bed, Kalix turned. His expression remained cold as usual. He stood up and walked toward Snyder's bed, asking, "You're awake, do you feel any discomfort in your body?"This question clearly didn't arise from Kalix's heart but due to his mother's insistence.That night, when they were found by Snyder's assistant and taken to the hospital, his mother had known they were kidnapped. The woman panicked and immediately sought them out with various questions, even forcing her way to catch up.However, Kalix refused and firmly stated that they were fine, including Snyder. He also promised to keep an eye on the older man.And here he was now, waiting for Snyder to regain consciousness to report his condition to his mother.
