"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

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

"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

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

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

“I have no desire to join the military nor to venture to the North." Jonathan replied solemnly. Fane was slightly taken aback, as he did not expect Jonathan's refusal. How could the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Northern Military Zone not be appealing? “Jonathan, this isn't a matter you can simply opt out of! Sooner or later, the Wang family will discover that Derek is a fraud, and when they do, they will come looking for you. The fact that Nathan Wang's son is still alive is a ticking time bomb for their family! Even if they don't kill you, they'll play you like puppets." "The Northern Military Zone is the only place to protect you in our country." After saying goodbye to Fane, Jonathan returned to Phoebe's house. Whether he would go to the Northern Military Zone remained a matter of disagreement between the two. Truthfully, even though Jonathan appeared calm on the surface, he was in a state of turmoil internally. Suddenly aware of his heritage and learning that his b

"Hello... hello, sir, I am Zahal!" "Hello, I'm Jonathan. Please have a seat!" After Zahal sat down, Adela spoke: "Mr. Zahal, why are you here?" "I had an appointment with you this morning, but you said you were busy taking Curtis to the amusement park. So, after finishing my work, I came here to find you, not expecting Curtis' father to be here either. I hope I'm not intruding?" Zahal spoke amicably, yet his words seemed to create misunderstanding intentionally. If he said sweet nothings before someone else's husband, the couple would inevitably fight once they got home. "Young Wang, Adela, and I are very close. You don't mind, do you?" Zahal then deliberately provoked Jonathan. His face is impassive. Jonathan replied: "No, I hear you run a chain of stores. Is it a large-scale business?" "About a hundred stores across Los Angeles, total assets probably around two billion." Zahal proudly replied. Jonathan clicked his tongue and said: "Quite average! Now that you have a foundati

"Jonathan, I…" The thought of a particular possibility flushed her cheeks with a hint of pink, and she was at a loss for words. "What I meant was." he elucidated: "you've seen the situation between Adela and me. She might stay mad at me for a while. And I have no means to make it up to her. I'll buy you a car, and then if you could do me a small favor. When Adela needs to go somewhere, you can drive her." "Rest assured, the car I'm buying is for you. Naturally, it's yours." Selena was stunned again. Her heart instantly hollowed. She had assumed that Jonathan had suddenly developed an interest in her, wanting her to be his clandestine lover. She had been pondering, uncertain whether to accept or not. To be Jonathan's unrecognized lover, many women would crave. Selena, being flesh and blood, could hardly resist. But it turned out it was also because of Adela. She wanted to ask Jonathan what made Adela so special that he treated her well. "Alright!" Selena mustered a smile. Aft
