Everyone was left shocked and confused though, when Miles walked out of that room looking as dashing as he did when he entered five minutes ago. Not only did he look unbothered, but he also looked untouched. There was no physical indignation that he was roughened up at all, talk less of being beaten up. He walked with a swagger in his steps as he returned to Jonathan’s side.“Mr. Blaine, what did I miss?” Miles stood before his father-in-law and had his hands in his pocket, looking quite cool.“What?! Wait! What the hell is going on?!” Lesley couldn’t contain her shock as she began searching around her brother-in-law’s body, almost stripping him of his top outfit and touching every inch of his torso. “Miles, where the fuck are the bruises and the bleeding?”Miles held Lesley’s hands back and away from his body. “Relax, okay? I’m fine. Nothing much happened.”At that moment, the door opened again and a bunch of those bodyguards stepped out of the room. The scene became shocking as thes

Everyone still couldn’t believe what they had witnessed. They were all aware at this point that Miles was an ordinary man who was simply fortunate enough to be the son-in-law of a man like Jonathan. Still, Jonathan’s status in the city wasn’t that significant, and worse, Miles was known to be a stay-at-home dad who lived off of his hardworking wife’s earnings. Yet, this seemingly ordinary man had stood up to someone as powerful and influential as Collins Webber. Even a lot of men whose status was far superior to Miles’s, they wouldn’t dare face the son of the Webber family, knowing how their method of revenge can be extremely cruel and borderline evil.Miles went into a room full of capable bodyguards and he single-handedly dealt with all of them seriously, to the point where they were struggling to walk upright. Then he stood up to Collins and publicly humiliated him with brutal slaps, two in addition to the one he had given the man in private.Miles was looking like an untouchable d

Caleb Autumn was not happy about this situation at all. It was so sudden and there was very little option out of this conundrum he was suddenly put into. He glanced through the crowd and saw their eyes on him. At this point, he knew that he had no choiceThe main reason for his hesitance was the inclusion of the import channel rights owned by Dominion City. Years of control over this and he might lose it in the hands of that man because of a gamble. Sadly, he couldn’t turn away from the challenge, or else, his reputation as the jewelry industry leader was at great stake.Caleb cleared his throat before facing Krone Dodge. “Challenge accepted.”The crowd suddenly cheated and Miles and his in-laws, along with the rest of the crowd realized something. About 30% of this crowd were from Edgewood-Ave City, and they were here to support none other than Krone Dodge. This was a setup, which meant that they came fully prepared to win this gamble. If this ends up in their favor, not only does th

The game was over. Justin Fallon had lost to Lincoln Park, and by extension, Caleb Autumn had lost this challenge to Krone Dodge. It was a painful sight to watch for those merchants and the overall audience from Dominion City felt a wave of immense shame wash over them. They looked to the side to find those merchants from Edgewood-Ave City roaring out praises at their victory and at Lincoln Park as the reason for this victory.“Fuck yeah! I knew he was going to beat that lowlife scum, Justin Fallon! Lincoln is far too brilliant for the likes of those from the degenerating city!”“Was there even a doubt about this victory? That Justin Fallon is a great representation of Dominion, old and weak. Watching this challenge, it's quite clear that Dominion City definitely doesn’t deserve to remain standing as the greatest in comparison to us! It’s time that we chop off their fucking roots and take our rightfully deserved power!”The rest of the merchants from Edgewood-Ave City roared in suppor

Everyone then watched as Caleb made a call. In less than a minute, three women in formal wear walked up on the stage with the woman in the center holding a briefcase.“In here are the documents with the rights over the import channels of regional raw materials,” Caleb spoke with a defeated tone. “How about we finalize the transfer at this stage and just get it over with?”Every single Dominion City merchant has their head down in shame at the defeat. Meanwhile, the Edgewood-Ave City merchants wouldn’t stop throwing more insults at their rival merchants, as well as Miles, Justin Fallon, and even Caleb Autumn. Meanwhile, Caleb simply continued as if nothing was happening, as he began gathering the files after opening the briefcase.Miles frowned slightly at the scenery around him. He felt somewhat disappointed that Caleb couldn’t even bother to show a fighting spirit. He should have at least given Miles a chance, even if it was simply for his bravery and his will to show up in an attemp
