Back From Prison! Chapter 30: Find A Way To Harm And Make Money
At night, when the street lights just started glowing. The night scene of Elite Summit was dotted with countless bright lights, dazzling and splendid. Yet, even in such a bustling place, there were dark, gloomy corners. In the slum area on the northern outskirts of the city, the scenery was starkly different. Decrepit buildings from the sixties and seventies were dimly lit by a few faint lights. Basil, drunk, pushed the door open and stumbled into the small four-walled room, leaning over the water purifier and pressing the switch, hot water gushing into his mouth. "Phew, phew, phew!" Scalded by the boiling water, Basil jumped up, cursing: "Damn it, who left the hot water on? I'm burnt!" "Damn, so unlucky, even getting burned drinking water!" Bang! In his anger, he kicked the water purifier. The machine made a crackling noise and then broke down completely. Hearing the noise outside, Mrs. Jones hurried out of her room, scolding loudly: "Basil, have you lost your mind? If you
Back From Prison! Chapter 31: Conscience Game
Reaching an unoccupied restroom, Basil stopped. He pulled out a crumpled, cheap cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a few deep drags. "Jonathan, I've had the doctor check your prescription, and it's not from any legitimate hospital. Now, my mother's critical condition is due to your medication! Tell me, if I hand this prescription to the police, how many years in prison will you get?" Basil seemed confident of his victory. "Is it a disease-inducing drug from the black market?" Jonathan suddenly asked. Basil's eyes flickered with panic. How did Jonathan know? Only the black market would have disease-inducing drugs mixed with a small amount of pesticide and other substances, designed to trigger relapses of existing illnesses. Of course, Basil didn’t admit it and soon feigned calmness, shouting: "I don’t know what you’re talking about. My mother is seriously ill because of you. What do you think should be done?" Jonathan didn’t expect Basil to confess: "So, what do you prop
Back From Prison! Chapter 32: Racing Betting
Jonathan wandered the streets until three in the afternoon before returning to the company. As per his schedule, he first picked up Adela from work, then went to the nursery to pick up Carla. “Dad! Dad!!” Standing near the school gate, Carla saw Jonathan outside and waved. Seeing the bright smile on Carla’s face, Jonathan felt the joy of having a daughter, though her smile still held a hint of sadness. His time was running short. Becoming the master of Top-Sky House, he had wealth and power many could only dream of. But this also meant he had to shoulder the responsibilities of Top-Sky House and face its enemies. Those enemies were so formidable they were almost insurmountable. The most feared was a man known as Lord God, the strongest enemy of Top-Sky House. Jonathan, sooner or later, would have to confront this man, the world’s most powerful titleholder. Elite Summit City, Jonathan couldn’t stay too long. When Carla came out of school, Jonathan put all his complex thoughts a
Back From Prison! Chapter 33: Psychological Manipulation Plan
The Fairies Mountain in the night was filled with an eerie vibe, as if thousands of spirits were dancing chaotically. The car lights snaked through the mountain passes, with wild screams and the shrill sounds of racing cars blending together. "I am honored to introduce Mr. Tremblay. Everyone must know the Tremblays, one of the three major families of Crystal Cove, right? Mr. Tremblay is from the Tremblay family!" At the mountain's peak, Asher's subordinate was introducing him to the young masters of Elite Summit city. Upon learning that Asher was a descendant of the Tremblay family, one of the three major families in Crystal Cove, the young masters became overly cordial, fawning over Asher. Among them, a few pretty young women flirted with inviting glances, but Asher stood still, indifferent, as if he didn’t even notice them. Being a scion of a prestigious family controlling the economic veins of Crystal Cove, his gaze naturally became lofty. Women like these were beneath his not
Back From Prison! Chapter 34: Angry To The Climax!
Adela maneuvered the 488 around a curve, asking curiously: "How do you know so much? I mean about Fairies Mountain's course." Jonathan explained as if to a novice: "Shouldn't I gather information before racing? Like when we have a five million dollar order at our company, wouldn't you research the client before meeting them?" Alright then, Adela had nothing more to say. Adela, coerced by Jonathan to join the race, didn't ponder too much. She just familiarized herself with the car in a short period and then drove the 488 up the mountain for the race. "Fine, I'll do as you say! Jonathan, even if I lose, I won't get into his car!" This wasn't about playing tricks; Adela knew Asher's intentions well and couldn't consider getting into his car. The term 'lightning fast' perfectly described her current state. A hundred yards was nearly the limit speed for driving in a place riddled with curves like Fairies Mountain. Of course, a professional could manage an extra forty or fifty yards,
Back From Prison! Chapter 35: Flipped Face Again
The next morning, instead of taking Adela to work, Jonathan went to meet Basil at the arranged location. They were meeting at a tea house. When Jonathan arrived, Basil was already waiting inside. Today, Basil wore a gray jacket, his face full of anxiety, with a pile of cigarette butts in the ashtray in front of him. He looked haggard, panicky, and uneasy. Seeing Jonathan, Basil hastily snuffed out his cigarette and stood up, saying with confusion: "Sir, Mr. Wang." When they met again, Basil no longer called him 'that Wang guy.' Jonathan understood what had happened, sure that Mrs. Jones's illness had relapsed. He was somewhat shaken by this; Basil, despite being despicable, did care for his mother's health, showing some humanity. Of course, Jonathan had no sympathy. Pitiful people also have their despicable aspects; there are many like Basil, and Jonathan couldn't sympathize with them all. Jonathan sat down opposite Basil, speaking coldly: "What is it, why did you want to see

"Of course, I used to work under him. But later, he offended someone, got both legs broken and was kicked out of Elite Summit." "If young master Wang is trying to intimidate me with his name, I'm afraid that's a mistake." Gregory said, disagreeing. Dominic was now just a thing of the past. "Oh, so the IEP financial company is the one Dominic poured his money into. What was the name of the person who dealt with Dominic... I think it was someone from Edgar Jacob, how is he now?" Jonathan asked. Gregory became wary: "Don't tell me you know boss Jacob?" If the man before him was a friend of boss Edgar, he couldn't afford to be careless. "Mr. Finn, don't listen to his nonsense, how could he possibly know boss Edgar?" Basil was anxious, completely disbelieving in Jonathan's acquaintance with Edgar Jacob. "Boss Edgar, sounds quite powerful." "Here's the deal, I can give five million USD. Tell your boss Edgar to come and get it, as long as he dares to take it. Not just five million, I'
Back From Prison! Chapter 37: Life Betting Game!
Half an hour later, Jonathan stepped out of the room. Basil and Adela, anxiously waiting, approached him. Adela asked: "How is she?” “She’s stable, you can go in now.” Jonathan replied, then sat down on an old sofa and lit a cigarette. Adela went to check on Mrs. Jones' condition, while Basil timidly approached Jonathan, his voice shaky: "Mr. Wang..." "Used all your tricks and now you’re scared of me?" Jonathan glanced up and sneered. Basil dared not say anything. "I told your mother, whether you agree to my request or not, I would still save her. So, your use of Adela to force my hand in treating her was unnecessary and only made me think less of you." Basil clenched his fists, whispering: "Mr. Wang, I didn’t want to do this, but I don’t want to go to jail!" Suddenly, Jonathan asked an offbeat question: "Which horse has a high chance of winning tonight?” “Number fifteen!” Basil blurted out, instantly regretting his words. “Placed a big bet, huh?” Jonathan wasn’t surprised.
