Robert Brown was elated to gain a Vice Chairman position for a mere $78 million pendant, laughing jubilantly. In his eyes, paying that much just to be Acting Chairwoman was idiotic, pathetic even. Were it him, he could have invested that money or started a new company - all better options than a temporary "Acting Chairwoman." Truly laughable.Just as Jason finished tidying up at home, his phone rang with Steven Martin's voice. "Brother Jason, I found that bike thief.""Good, deal with it yourself," Jason casually replied, no longer as angry. Susan's class reunion was in two days. She seemed fixated on finding that "old friend," even guessing several candidates yesterday.As Jason was about to hang up, Steven Martin hurriedly interjected, "Um, Mr. Gray...""Hm? What is it? Some trouble?" Jason's brows knitted, detecting something amiss. Could the South Emerald City underworld boss not even handle a lone thief?Steven Martin broke out in cold sweat. He couldn't let Brother Jason see hi

Sensing the thunderous cheers and screams from the crowd, Jason raised a brow. This man was clearly no ordinary figure, with such popularity and dangerous aura."Sir, you've injured so many people here and caused such a disturbance. You've gone too far. No one has ever been so arrogant and reckless here before. The consequences will be severe," Sean said coldly, rolling his neck.Hearing this, Steven Martin's expression changed. He whispered urgently, "Mr. Gray, be careful. This man is the ace boxer here. His fist is hardened steel.""They say over half the men who've faced him ended up with broken limbs. The rest were either crippled or killed. You must be extremely cautious."Kyle, collapsed on the floor, was also filled with regret and self-reproach. It was over, he could no longer stop this."Damn it..." he cursed.Hearing all this, Jason flicked his clothes in the shadows and replied, "Why not ask the man behind you to come out? Better to speak face to face."Sean frowned, about

Jason snorted. "If you truly harbored ill intent, you would have likely been discovered from the first day of tailing me."Kyle hung his head in shame. He had been blind, and if he had acted on those thoughts initially, he would certainly be finished already. Even Sean was no match, what chance did he stand? Seeking death.In the end, it was the shred of conscience that had saved him, though he still ended up ensnared."You're a fighter, competing in over 20 matches in a month. Even if you lost, there was prize money. Where did it all go that drove you to such madness, disregarding your life?" Steven Martin asked, puzzled.It was nearly impossible to fight continuously like that for over a month. The injuries from back-to-back matches with no time to properly heal, each fight aggravating the last. Just 16 consecutive bouts was already a remarkable feat.Jason was also very curious where his earnings had gone.Hearing this, Kyle bit his lip until it bled, eyes reddening as he said hoar

Traffic in Emerald City was especially congested today with construction everywhere, a bustling and thriving sight.Many large corporations seemed eyeing the Central Area cake, starting with Macro Vision Group and Sky Wing Jewelry. Rumor said the Central Area top ten tycoons were also on the move, aggressively staking their claims.But this mattered little to Jason, having left company affairs to Daniel Smith already.Mark Phillips and his people had their own plans, while Steven Martin now had 300 million to make big moves, all urgently needing attention.By the time they arrived at Riches Restaurant, it was nearly past the meeting time, but they managed to make it. Yet no sooner had Susan stepped out of the car than over a dozen gazes focused on her."Susan! Our class beauty is here, how come you took a taxi? Can't afford a car yet?""Don't be silly, Jeremy. Susan is Brown Group's acting chairwoman now, how could she not afford a car? She's intentionally keeping a low profile..."Th

"Forget it, we're already here. Let's go in and see what all the fuss is about. Can't let his efforts go to waste."His lips quirked meaningfully, though Susan didn't quite grasp his implication. Still, he seemed unaffected.In fact, she had been hesitant about this reunion from the start. But to uncover the mystery "old friend", she had no choice but to investigate.Seeing Susan and Jason enter as well, Walter Bell snorted derisively. A useless man like him, comparing himself to the likes of me? I'll have him hanging his head in shame soon enough. And once Susan comes to her senses, she'll fall right into my embrace."Hmph..."Riches Restaurant was unmatched in Emerald City, where one didn't just dine on rare delicacies, but on money itself - the taste of luxury.Stepping inside, Jason and the others were bathed in the glow of dozens of lamps decorated with natural gems, plus eight night pearls that illuminated the space brilliantly, as if they had entered a dream."It's...it's too b
