Back From Prison! Chapter 231: Hand Over The Economic Department.
That evening, Jonathan, as promised, made his appearance at the Jade Light teahouse in the city center. At that moment, Esther, dressed in a black silk outfit and sporting a pair of sunglasses, was seated within the teahouse. "Why did you suddenly remember to call me?" Jonathan approached, smiling and asked, while instructing the waitstaff: "I’ll have a cup of cooling tea, please." “I heard that the Heavenly Emperor Group from New York has arrived here, and there's intense competition with your Seven Wonders Group. You must be quite busy these days?”, Esther probed. These days, two news items were creating a buzz in the Southwest. Firstly, Esther's 'Big City' had just aired and become famous, turning into the most successful show of the year. More than a decade later, the name Esther is again a household name. One could say her comeback was immensely successful. The second piece of news was that the Heavenly Emperor Group had entered the Southwest, facing off against the Seve
Back From Prison! Chapter 232: Handing Over Power!
"Sir, I understand that this is the most peaceful and lenient solution you can provide. But you also understand, without the Economic Department as a backing, I would be of no use to Augustus. Whether I serve him or not would become meaningless." "I, I cannot accept!!" Without his Economic Division, Isaac was merely a useless old man. Why should Augustus treat him with such regard and grant him such wealth? It was clear to everyone that the Economic Division was Isaac's backbone when he pledged allegiance to Augustus. Handing over the Economic Division was tantamount to handing over Isaac's power. The atmosphere in the grand hall became indescribable. Jonathan stared at Isaac with dark eyes: "If you're reluctant to hand it over, you must pay the price. I can forgive your decision as an individual. But as the head of Top-Sky House, your choice is unforgivable. Do you understand?" "I do!" Of course, Isaac understood. Even though he knew his persistence meant stepping onto a path
Back From Prison! Chapter 233: Young Master Nathan Wang!
The name Nathan Wang bore a quite formidable origin. Upon Nathan's birth, Toshan Wang of the Wang family had invited a great master from Dragon Mountain to name his son. The master scrutinized Nathan's fate and proclaimed him to have the destiny of a holy dragon's ascension, suggesting the implication of an exceptional ruler. Without hesitation, the name Nathan was given! Followed by the surname Wang. The master even took Nathan to Dragon Mountain to nurture him for sixteen years. Back in those New York days, although Nathan was taken to Dragon Mountain right after his birth, his name had been circulating around New York for years on end. After sixteen years, people eventually stopped mentioning the name Nathan, but he had returned. Within a week of his return, he had trampled over the reigning top dog of that time, making his name reverberate throughout New York! Following that, New York was astir for a year, with any upstart being ruthlessly suppressed by him to the point of
Back From Prison! Chapter 234: Fire Reveals Rats.
"Ah, the famous Mr. Lancelot! Indeed, your reputation precedes you." Zachary wasn't fazed, but seemed rather enthusiastic, lavishing him with praise. "Ha, indeed, Lancelot is well-known. I'm Bernie, the lesser-known and less impressive one." Bernie appeared and said with a meaningful look. "Why would you say that, Bernie? Everyone knows that by Mr. Lord God's side, there is a cunning adviser. Mr. Lord God's success today owes much to your efforts." Zachary continued to flatter. Bernie responded with a smile: "You're overestimating me, but no amount of your praise can flatter me." Zachary burst into laughter: "I understand! But... today, my young master insists on meeting Isaac. It puts us all in a difficult position." Immediately, the smiles faded from their faces. What appeared to be a peaceful atmosphere was indeed fraught with tension. Today's showdown was not merely a friendly meet and greet between the two sides. Everyone had their respective missions. The men from both s
Back From Prison! Chapter 235: Facing Life And Death!
Atop the Sky Building's rooftop. Jonathan and Drake successively appeared, the wind on the rooftop was fierce. At this moment, Augustus was already waiting there. He slowly turned around and cast his gaze upon Jonathan. Not that it was Augustus's first or second encounter with Jonathan, but each time he seemed more stern and filled with increasing admiration. "I didn't expect you to outwit me, Jonathan. Wolfgang chose you for a reason." Jonathan closed the distance, maintaining a three-meter gap between himself and Augustus, and spoke: "It's merely a fluke. Had Isaac not betrayed us, I probably wouldn't have thought of this strategy." Augustus smirked and nodded. Indeed, without Isaac's treachery, how could Jonathan have orchestrated this diversionary tactic? Or, for instance, had Augustus himself paid a visit to the Clarke estate today, this opportunity would have been missed. But why would Augustus bother to keep a vigil over a small place like Isaac's estate? It wasn't tha
Back From Prison! Chapter 236: One-Person Short.
"Mr. Alexander, Lancelot, and Bernie are indeed formidable. I'm only partially confident in a five-year duel. If you offer three years instead of five, I might reconsider." Jonathan pondered momentarily and then negotiated. On this side, they couldn't kill Augustus. Even if they could, they wouldn't want to. Fortunately, Lancelot and Bernie were unscathed, so they hadn't reached the limits of Augustus, thereby not having to engage in a do-or-die struggle. Holding onto their lives wouldn't be a wrong move. A decisive battle was part of Jonathan's calculations. "Ha ha, Jonathan, don't bargain with me. Your side is short of men. Drake will be ready to fight after resting for half a month. Donald is weak, but there's still Harvey, you, and the masters of Top-Sky House. Your side is quite strong." "And my side here, Bernie, won't be able to compete in half a month. Lancelot and I are severely injured at different levels, so our strength has greatly diminished." "Now, whether it's fiv
Back From Prison! Chapter 237: A Brother's Aid.
Ariella nodded firmly: "I didn't know about this at all. But as you know, the Primordial Stone investment case hasn't ended. I occasionally have to visit Slab! That's how I found out your family has come looking for you. Just that..." Ariella didn't beat around the bush and said: "Derek has impersonated you, claiming to be the son the Henry family adopted back then! He's supposed to return with your family in three days and become a rich man's son!" "Jonathan, your family is incredibly wealthy! The convoy that came to pick you up was all Bentleys, each costing several million!" Ariella's tone perked up as she remarked on this last point, licking her lips as if she could taste the luxury. A single Bentley was usually a sign of prosperity for most wealthy families, but Jonathan's people had brought an entire fleet. A fleet of Bentleys? Jonathan furrowed his brow in thought. If what Ariella said was true, he might know which family was looking for him. There were some irregularities
Back From Prison! Chapter 238: Identity Revealed.
Jonathan thought Phoebe would understand his feelings after he said so, but to his surprise, she cried: "I don't care! Derek's life will be buried in this tiny Slab if this opportunity slips away. He wouldn't even have the money to get married." "If you still regard me as your mother, give me that gem pendant! In the future, Derek will always remember his older brother. He will never do anything to harm you." Seeing Phoebe's brave act, Jonathan could only shake his head in amusement. What kind of twisted logic was his foster mother following? She spoke as if it was the most natural thing in the world for Jonathan to cede his position to Derek. It was as though Jonathan's status shone brighter than Derek's, so he was obliged to make way for him. "Mother, there are matters I may agree on with you, but not this one! Even if you threaten to sever ties with me, I refuse." Jonathan's voice was icy. Regarding the debt of nurture, the person who brought Jonathan to the Tu family all tho
