"No...stay back!"The royal heir crab-walked away, desperate to flee this unstoppable juggernaut who had so ruthlessly crushed his men within a minute's span. "No...please, I beg you, spare me!" But the prince's plaintive entreaties fell on deaf ears as Evan inexorably advanced, his mocking smile twisting into a sneer of contempt. "A prince, you say?""Pitiful."With a single, bone-crushing strike, oblivion swallowed the prince's whimpering cries. Retrieving his phone, Evan dialed. "Adam, see if Dubai has a second prince. Identify any corporations under his purview. Dubai likely lacks deep economic ties to Elysia, so acquire whatever businesses this lesser prince may own."His tone grew animated. "Dubai drowns in oil wealth, Adam. If this fool controls any petroleum assets, you could all earn fortunes in your sleep!"He paused momentarily. "Though if it involves oil, the acquisition would require immense capital. I saw reports that Elysian petroleum firms are valued beyond $500 bi

"E-Excuse me?" She blinked owlishly, her frantic mind racing to process this non-sequitur. Evan plowed on undeterred, "I'll also need five more Bentleys - the five million dollar range is acceptable. Plus an Audi R8 while you're at it." His words landed with autocratic finality, rendering the salesgirl utterly stupefied as patrons throughout the showroom craned their necks towards the commotion.Only the Assistant Director, having witnessed previous such grandiloquent bravura, managed to maintain his decorum despite being similarly dumbstruck."Five additional Bentleys sir? I'll need to coordinate with our distributors immediately. We currently only have three coupés in stock, though the R8 is available. Will these be needed urgently, Mr. Smith?"Evan waved a dismissive hand. "Not desperately so. Process the paperwork for all six vehicles. Have them prepped and detailed optimally - I'll be calling for their delivery this Saturday evening to a specified location."With that, he exten

"Miss Roberts, I fear I may have affronted a prominent figure from Tiktoc..."Claire concisely apprised Miss Roberts of the situation."How could you be so foolish!"Miss Roberts admonished, her own trepidation mounting.This Tiktoc corporation, initially perceived as a mere livestreaming platform confined to the modest Lumina City, had unveiled itself as a veritable behemoth. Flush with wealth and influence, it had recently acquired two prominent entertainment agencies, solely to impose an outright ban upon the associated celebrities.The entire entertainment industry now regarded Tiktoc with a wary circumspection, deeming discretion the wisest course of action.Yet, should Tiktoc extend an offer of collaboration, they would undoubtedly embrace it wholeheartedly.For Tiktoc's reputation for magnanimity was well-established, as evidenced by the previous Billionaire Challenge event.And now, this golden opportunity lay before their company, only to be rebuffed by an ill-informed employ

Alighting from the vehicle, Evan nonchalantly tossed the keys toward the hotel's security personnel, chuckling at the unimpressive demeanor of his colleagues."No need for envy – after tonight, you shall all possess such treasures."This proclamation sparked a chorus of astonished exclamations.Sean, unable to contain himself, unleashed an unrestrained "Fuck!"His abrupt outburst startled the very guard who had accepted Evan's keys moments earlier.In contrast to Sean's unbridled reaction, the others opted for a more restrained response. Yet, their trembling frames and barely suppressed mirth betrayed their astonishment, prompting a wry smile from Evan."Follow me. Would I ever deprive you of such indulgences?"Thus emboldened, the remaining four could no longer restrain themselves: "Mr. Smith, you are truly indomitable!""Enough, enough!" Evan's countenance assumed a stern visage."Let us assess the gala's proceedings. How many of our personnel will be in attendance this evening?"Pr

Yet this retrospective proved fleeting, a mere ten minutes in duration.For all present understood that the employees' anticipation, and indeed Mr. Smith's own eagerness, lay elsewhere.Adam continued, "The sumptuous fare has merely whetted your appetites – it is a modest token of the company's gratitude for your arduous endeavors during this challenging period."With these words, he offered a respectful bow.Among the Tiktoc employees, eyes glistened with emotion.They were intimately acquainted with the tribulations of those grueling days, rendered bearable only by their encounter with Mr. Smith.Ah, there he was – Mr. Smith, ensconced amidst his feminine entourage, ever the charming seducer!One could not deny Adam's eloquence, for even the ladies surrounding Evan found their eyes moistening in response to his emotive oration.Yet this sentimental interlude proved short-lived, for tonight was a celebration!Adam's hosting prowess remained unwavering: "Enough of my reminiscences les
