"Hiding my power?" Anderson smiles bitterly, a sense of misery overwhelming him. He sighs and shakes his head to ward off the unpleasant feeling.

"Don't think everyone is as lucky and talented as you. I have no secret that you don't already know about."

At Anderson's words, Harrington can't help but raise a brow. "Do you mean you are not a martial artist? But you...," he pauses, not knowing how to put it as he doesn't want to offend Anderson, given that he holds an important role to Jordan's plan working out.

"You don't have to hold back from saying what you have in mind," Anderson says with a wryly smile.

"Unlike you who could harness your true energy and cultivate the ranks, despite that I'm a subordinate of the Cadens, a martial arts family, I couldn't do it. I tried day and night to harness my true energy, but each time, I failed harder than the last. I guess martial arts is not meant for everyone."

Harrington walks over to him and pats him on the shoulder. "Martial Arts or not,

    The attendees are confused about Anderson's real intention for coming over today. Just a moment ago, he downplayed the significance of the order, saying it wasn't that impressive enough to attract him, but now, he is also asking if he ever said he wasn't here to secure it.What was he really playing at? They can't help but frown. This is an important order they had all gone out of their ways to try to secure but Anderson appears to be playing with it. How can they not be offended?Meanwhile, at Anderson's last statement, Arthur turns to look at him and a small smile finds its way to his old crinkled face."Anderson," he says calmly. "I never thought I would meet you again in this lifetime.""How could you think it when we are leagues apart? Hahaha." Anderson laughs and says derisively, "I remember back then when you were still serving the Callahans as a chief butler, you were so high and mighty. "But look at you now, you've lost your nobility. If not for me coming here, you wouldn't

    Seeing this man, the eyes of the figure standing close to Anderson glisten. He leans into Anderson and whispers, "He is the one I told you about. Turns out he was indeed tailing Arthur. Perhaps, Jordan sent him to keep Arthur safe.""Hmph!" Anderson snorts contemptuously and turns to look at Lorenzo, his gaze scrutinizing him. After a moment, his expression turns to disgustful as he says condescendingly, "You are not even an innate martial artist and you dare act arrogantly in front me? Have you no fear? Do you think you are still in East Veridora?"Lorenzo shrugs indifferently. "So what if I'm not in East Veridora or an innate martial artist yet, does that mean I shouldn't keep my head high? I saw you walk into this conference room, even though you are not the President, you behaved as if you owned the place, why can't I be like you?""Hahaha," Anderson laughs, so amused. "Who is this punk?" He muses to himself and shakes his head before raising his gaze back to Lorenzo and saying, "H

    Edith lifts her gaze and looks at Logan. Her shocked expression turns into a frown and from a frown, her face darkens. She shoots him a glare and hisses, "You are not a woman, what does it have to do with you how he looks, or perhaps..." A mischievous smile plays on her lips as she teases,"Are you attracted to men?""What?" Logan's face drains of color and the next instant, he flares up like a boiling pot of soup, looking so flustered. "Hah!" He grits his teeth and stomps his foot. "You shouldn't spout nonsense! I'm warning you. Do I look like someone that would be gay?""I only asked a question, what are you kicking up such a fuss for? Are you better than those men out there who are gay? It's not like you are even qualified to be one. "Gay guys are naturally handsome and attractive. To top it off, they have big cocks. Looking at you, you have none."Logan's expression turns so terrific, as if he was about to vomit blood. Edith hasn't seen him unclad before so how can she know that h

    The battle for the order as orchestrated by Jordan was naturally planned to be a confrontation between Arthur and Anderson. While Arthur would be pretending to really need the order as World Apparels Galaxy would be lost without it, Harrington would ignore him and let Anderson have it.The plan is going accordingly. As such, Harrington is not conflicted in any way about who to choose. However, before he can point at Anderson as his choice, Logan stands and says domineeringly, "The Xaviers are also interested in the order! Mr. Harrington, I believe you should know that though the Callahans are the leaders of the invincible four, we, the Xaviers are not far off from them. Whatever benefits you can reap from the Callahans, you can also reap from us. Be it partners, influence, name it."Also, unlike the Callahans who are only willing to deliver the goods to you at 30% discount. We, the Xaviers are so generous as to let you have them at 50% discount! Now, tell me, Mr. Harrington, who do yo

    Harrington looks at Arthur and says with a helpless sigh, "Arthur, your offer is indeed mouthwatering. Any company would kill for it, but I'm sorry, I can't afford to partner with you at this moment when Anderson has already shown interest and gone to great lengths to secure the order. But not to worry, next time, we would surely partner with you.""I'm afraid, after now, there wouldn't be a next time," Anderson laughs loudly and grabs Harrington's hand. "Old man, come on, let's go make the deal official. We can't be bothered about insignificant people."Harrington glances at Arthur apologetically before nodding at Anderson and walking away with him. In no time, they walk back into the conference room with Anderson holding a document, a triumphant smile playing on his face."Old fogey, you are still here?" He sneers as soon as his gaze falls on Arthur. "Perhaps, were you thinking that it was a joke that I secured the order? In that case, do you want to see my signature on the paper bef

  • A Billionaire After Divorce    PLEASURE YOU AS WELL

    In a dimly lit luxurious room in the Cadens Manor, Layla sits on a couch with a white towel hanging loosely on her chest. Her hair is wet, seemingly as if she just got out of the shower, and her mouth is slightly parted open, soft moans escaping her vocal cord. Her fair flawless skin is ridden with goosebumps and her expression is strained. It's almost as if she's about to be overtaken by a mind-blowing orgasm. Layla's legs are spread far apart, one pointing south and the other north. And in between them, on his knees, rests a male slave, his head lowered in between her legs as he lusciously eats her out with reckless abandon and almost as if his life depends on it. The male's slave eyes shine with delight as he stares at her juice-coated pussy and his heart swells with pride as if he is eating a fruit no one of his status can ever be able to eat. Perhaps, that's true, after all, he is merely a lowly slave while Layla is a member of the prestigious Caden family, a family amongst the

    "For a slave, you have quite the high taste, don't you?" Layla snickers, seemingly not offended by Aiden's request, a stark contrast to her well-known character. A mischievous smile plays on her lips as she teases, "How long have you been harboring this desire?""It's been so long that I feel I might have been wishing for it all my life, Mistress.""Oh really?" Layla laughs, feeling blissful. Being with Aiden brings her immense happiness. Truth be told, it's not that Layla had not considered being intimate with Aiden before, but his status as a slave held her back. She couldn't bear the thought of a slave like him having carnal knowledge of her. Moreover, she wasn't sure about his ability to practice safe withdrawal. Since she doesn't like using that artificial rubber, she could only avoid sex with him.Prevention they say is better than cure. Obviously, she can't see herself carrying his child. But at this moment, she is having the thoughts that it wouldn't be bad to give it a try, a

    The grand foyer of the Xaviers Manor is filled with an air of tension as the family gathers, seemingly in a heated discussion. On a regal chair, sits a middle aged man, exuding an aura of a formidable leader. This man is none other than Rutherford Xavier, the esteemed Patriarch of the Xaviers and Logan's father. "Logan, are you trying to say that Arthur Smith was part of the attendees at Eve's Allure Emporium's just concluded meeting?" Rutherford asks, his cold gaze dropping to his son, who stands in front of him."Yes, father. I swear, I wouldn't dare lie about this. I saw him with my own eyes. It's fine if you doubt me, but you can't doubt Sir Anderson, right? He was there and personally confirmed that the old man is indeed who I say he is." Logan responds earnestly."Hmm," Rutherford hums. "After a decade, he suddenly resurfaced. Was he tired of hiding or what? Even if he was, knowing his Lord was a public enemy, why would he risk exposing himself in such a blatant way? Wasn't h

    MY SON

    Henry's face darkens. He is the young master of the Maguires, how can he get on his knees and apologize to Jordan?Such an act would not only disappoint his family but also jeopardize his position as the heir apparent. His pride and ego would also be crushed and he might never be able to raise his head high again."You don't want to do it?""You're being unfairly unfair to me. When Isabella apologized to you, you didn't ask her to get on her knees. Why are you asking me to do that? What are you trying to achieve?""Achieve? Hmph!" Jordan snorts. "I choose how I want anyone to apologize to me. It's late, and I need to leave. Are you apologizing or not?""I can only apologize to you while standing; I'll never kneel to you," Henry grits his teeth."What if I insist?" A menacing aura suddenly bursts out of Jordan, and he grabs Henry's shoulder, applying force."Ah!" Henry cries out, his face distorting. "What are you doing?!" he barks."Kneel!" Jordan bellows, applying more force.THUD!J

    GET ON YOUR KNEES

    Seeing this, Natasha turns pale. From Jordan's reaction, it's obvious he and this person are not on good terms. This leaves her wondering how that could be when the person gifted him such a unique card.Perhaps he did before whatever happened between them happened. She can't help feeling bad for asking the question."I'm sorry," she whispers."It's fine," Jordan offers her a small smile. "You did nothing. Let's just continue eating."Back at the hall...Somehow Henry and Isabella has managed to consume a quarter of the order. For an order that took three tables, that in itself is a commendable feat. At this moment, Isabella is sitting on the floor, drenched in sweat.Though there's AC in the room, it's as if nothing is touching her. Her naturally flat tummy appears to have broken its record today as it is now protruding. Beside Isabella, Henry is in a similar state, just that he is gasping so much, almost as if he can't breathe.For the first time, he believes the adage that says wha

    I BROKE A BANK

    "What? Why? Jordan paid all the bills so why am I not allowed to leave?" Isabella asks, staring at the burly men in confusion."Our general manager instructed us not to let any of you leave until the food and wine on the round table are cleared.""What?" Isabella's jaw drops. "What does he mean by that? How can only two of us finish that quantity of food and wine?""We don't know, Miss, but that is the instruction. Except the food and wines are cleared, you can only remain here.""How ridiculous!" Henry stands and bellows. "I'm the young master of the Maguires, will you two really stop me from leaving?""We only follow instructions, sir. It doesn't matter who you are, so yes.""Fine, wait until I send for my family guards!" Henry glares at them and reaches into his pocket and pulls out his phone.However, before he can do anything with it, the phone is swiftly snatched from him."I'm sorry, sir. But that is not allowed. You can only start eating now or remain here even after the resta

    NOT ALLOWED TO LEAVE

    Henry and Isabella had devised a plan to embarrass Jordan, hoping he would struggle to pay the bills and end up washing plates for a month. However, their scheme took an unexpected turn when Jordan not only paid the bills but did so with an astonishing 2.4 billion, 98 thousand dollars. This isn't 2. 4 million, 98 thousand dollars or 200 million, 98 thousand dollars but 2.4 billion, 98 thousand dollars! Isabella doesn't know what to make of this. The Jordan she divorced days ago was just a penniless man, one she and her family saw as a liability, which resulted to the divorce. How did he become so wealthy in the blink of an eye? Is she dreaming?She pinches herself to be sure before staring back at the screen. Seeing the numbers still blatantly visible on big screen, she can't help but inhale sharply.She was not dreaming. It's actually real. Jordan really paid the bills. He actually forked out 2.4 billion! She freezes.For a while, a heavy silence hangs in the air before the room b

    WHAT?!

    "What is this?" As the waitress accepts the card from Jordan and stares down at it, she asks, her brows furrowed in confusion."Hahaha, Jordan, did you pick up a play card on the floor? When did debit start being gold in color?" Henry jeers, laughing mockingly at him."That you don't know the card, is that what makes it a play card that I picked on the floor?" Jordan scoffs. "Anyways, your reaction is well expected, I would have been even surprised if any of you knew the card because the card is only one in the entire country, specially made for me.""Hah, what is that? Isn't he exaggerating too much?" A diner frowns. "He is just a pauper; how could he have a card that is only one in the country and is specially made for him? In fact, when has it ever been heard that a card was specially made for someone? Even the King of Zephyria might not have such card, who is he to?""He must be playing games with us all! Hah, he has no money and he made such a scene. How infuriating.""Well, I'm

    GOLD CARD

    "Why will I?" Jordan retorts, rolling his eyes. "Please order away! Don't hold back!""Jordan," Natasha, not being able to help it, tugs at his shirt. "They are obviously plotting against you, how can you still ask her to order after Henry has ordered that much? Do you really have the money to pay?"Jordan smiles. "I wasn't joking when I said I could buy this whole restaurant, let alone a few drinks and meals. What are you waiting for? Order yours as well. Also add mine.""Hahaha, Jordan, you seem to have hit the jackpot. Even your character is like one a wealthy man. In that case, I won't be polite neither will I hold back." Isabella turns to the waiter who is still waiting. "I will have this, this, this, this..." Unlike Henry who only placed order for approximately twelve meals and wines, Isabella takes hers up a notch, ordering 20 meals and 20 wines, the meals in the price range of five hundred thousand and the wines in the price range of one million."Ah!" Natasha slams her hand

    PLOTTING AGAINST HIM

    Two days ago or thereabout, Isabella met with Henry Maguire who urged her to invest in Starwood Apparels. However, Jordan came out of nowhere to tell her that doing so would be the greatest mistake she would ever make. He even claimed that the company would soon be destroyed. He had been so confident in his words that she started doubting her decision. If not for Henry that urged to trust him even just that once, that was how she would have been deceived and lost out on a rare opportunity to rise her family back to glory.Now, when Henry asked Jordan what he could say considering how things just turned out, she had expected him to at least be humble and sane enough to apologize for spilling the trash he spilled the last time.Instead of doing that, he began spilling another trash and acting as if he was one celestial god. She is so infuriated and can't help but wonder how it could be possible that they were once married. At this moment, she feels divorcing him has to be the best dec

    SCULPTED PALATE

    "Let's sit here," finding a table close to the window, Jordan says and draws out a chair, gesturing like a perfect gentleman,"Please sit, My Lady."Natasha rolls her eyes and mouths a soft "thank you" before taking her seat."You are always welcome, My Lady," Jordan smiles and walks over to the other side, also taking his seat."Welcome to Sculpted Palate, one of the best restaurants in East Veridora, dear prestigious customers. "Here, we serve all kinds of sumptuous and luxurious meals. Here are our menus for your selections. The price of each meal is attached to it," almost immediately, a beautiful waitress approaches Jordan and Natasha and says with a charming smile.Jordan doesn't bother to accept a menu from the waitress. He says indifferently, "I'll have anything the lady picks."Natasha feels her cheeks reddening at that statement. She quickly takes a menu from the waitress and uses it to cover her face. Simultaneously, she glances over the pages.The next second, a frown res

    "Mr. Callahan, have you found what it is you forgot? What was it though?" As they pass the receptionist's desk, the receptionist, catching a glimpse of Jordan, lifts her gaze and asks."Yes, I have, and it is...," Jordan pauses, a smile tugging at his lips as he glances down at Natasha Natasha beside him."What are you looking at me for?" Natasha turns deeper shades of red. She has to turn her face away him.Jordan chuckles and drawls, "I told the beautiful receptionist that I lost something, which was why I came back to the company, but what she didn't know was that I actually didn't lose something but someone. Now, I've found her and I'm leaving with her.""Aww, that's so sweet," the receptionist whispers. "I've been seeing you guys together a lot. It's a good thing you decided to allow love blossom between you. "You guys look so good together, almost like a match made in heaven! I can't wait for your wedding invitation!"Jordan stares at Natasha, whose cheeks are now as red as fr
