2024-10-25 16:05:14Vivian Howard paced the bedroom, the small doll clutched in her hand.
Her mind raced with possibilities, a flicker of doubt crossing her face.
"Could Juliet and Louis be having affair behind my back?"
She wondered aloud, her voice barely a whisper.
But as quickly as the thought arose, she dismissed it with a shake of her head.
"No, that's impossible."
She remembered she had never even introduced them.
As for Juliet, she was the eldest daughter of the Beaumon Family—she had good looks, perfect figure, and a prestigious background.
Although the Beaumon Clan wasn’t one of the four major Families, they were still an established name in Apple City.
So how could Juliet possibly be interested in a lowlife like Louis?
It was clear that Louis must have obtained the doll through improper means, just like some sleazy men who liked stealing women’s underwear.
“Yuk! Truly disgusting!”
Vivian tossed the doll back into the box, her disgust for Louis growing.
She'd ask Juliet about it later, just to be sure.
For now, she had more pressing matters - Ben Gutsby was waiting to take her to Apex Z Group.
As Vivian applied a final touch of lipstick, her phone buzzed. It was Ben.
"Ready, darling?" his smooth voice came through the speaker.
"Just about," Vivian replied, a smile playing on her lips.
"I'll be down in a minute."
She hung up, grabbed her designer handbag, and headed out, thoughts of Louis already fading from her mind.
Across town, a fleet of luxury cars pulled up in front of the Apex Z Group building.
Louis Kindsor stepped out of the lead vehicle.
He had arrived earlier than planned, his mind focused on the tasks ahead.
As Louis approached the entrance and was about to look around on his own, two familiar figures exited the building.
The woman was wearing a form-fitting long red dress, her curvy figure accentuated.
Her long wavy hair cascaded down, matching the beautifully intricate make on her face.
The man dressed in an upscale dark purple suit and had his hair neatly styled.
He wore a limited edition Rolex watch, and appeared to be around 25 or 26 of age.
They were none other than Vivian Howard and Ben Gutsby.
"Oh Ben! I can't believe you know John Wales personally," Vivian gushed, her arm tightly linked with Ben’s and her eyes sparkling with admiration.
"The General Manager of Apex Z Group! And the way you handled that conversation... If this project goes through, your family stands to make billions!"
Ben puffed up with pride, a smug smile playing on his lips.
"It's nothing, really. Just another day at the office for me."
Louis saw how nice and sweet Vivian was to Ben.
It was totally different from how she treated him.
Louis watched the exchange impassively, his face a mask of indifference.
He had no intention of engaging with them, but fate had other plans.
He tried to ignore them and walk away.
But Vivian already saw Louis.
Her happy face quickly turned angry.
"What the hell are you doing here?"
Vivian said with unmistakable disgust.
“It’s not a forbidden place. So why can’t I be here? Aren’t you here too?”
Louis looked at Vivian with indifference.
“Oh, come on, you loser. Can’t you tell that I came with Ben to discuss a project?”
Vivian mocked.
"As for you, are you here looking for a janitor job?”
“Wait! Don’t tell me you stalked me here to beg me to take you back!"
“I—stalkng you? To beg you to take me back?”
Louis shook his head and chuckled coldly.
"I'm just here to visit my company."

What the fuck?!Vivian couldn't believe what she heard. She couldn’t help but burst out laughing."Your company? Do you know that Apex Z Group is valued at 50 billion, and ranks 1st in Apple City? I bet a loser like you have no idea!” Vivian sneered loudly.“Ben, did you hear that? Louis thinks he owns Apex Z Group! That's funny!"Ben laughed too. "Wow, Louis. You're crazier than I thought. What's next? Are you going to say you're the king of Apple City?"Vivian looked disgusted. "I can't believe I was married to someone so stupid and boastful. You can't even tell what's real and what's not.""Maybe we should simply call security," Ben suggested playfully. "They'd love to meet the 'owner' of Apex Z Group. Want to give them a good laugh, Vivian?"Louis didn't say anything. He didn't look upset or angry. Their words didn't bother him at all.Louis moved to walk past Vivian and Ben, his face a mask of indifference. His didn’t want to waste another second on these two arrogant foo

Louis stood still, shocked. He just realized something big. The small doll he thought was Vivian's wasn't hers at all. This meant the kind girl who helped him years ago wasn't Vivian! All this time, he had been wrong!Louis felt many things at once - surprise, sadness, but also a bit relieved. He had spent years helping Vivian, thinking he was paying back her kindness. Now he knew it was all a mistake."What's wrong, Louis? Finally seeing how pathetic you are?" Seeing how quiet Louis was, Vivian said meanly.She thought he was finally embarrassed because she had caught him lying.This made her even angrier and more disgusted.Louis barely heard her. He was too busy thinking about what this all meant for his life.However, Vivian kept talking, and getting louder. "Why are you silent now? Weren’t you good at making up stories about knowing important people? Why not continue the play and give us a good show?"Vivian said more aggressively, her eyes filled with increased disdain.

Seeing how calm and collected Louis was, as if he was confident of victory, Vivian felt a surge of anger.She couldn’t wait to see how Louis would conjure up one million dollars for her right away.If he couldn’t, she swore she would make sure to drown him in her scorn!Louis calmly took out his phone and dialed a number. "Terminator X," he said, "I need you to send one million to the entrance of Apex Z Group now."Vivian's eyes got big. Seriously?!That Terminator X?! How could Louis be talking to him?“As you command, Sir. I’ill have John Wales, the General Manager of Apex Z Group, get the money ready.”Terminator X said on the phone.Louis ended the call and looked at Vivian. "Wait a few minutes," he said, not caring much.“Louis, how could your shame know no boundary?”Vivian's eyes widened in disbelief and mockery. "Do you even know who Terminator X is? Well, let me tell you, in case you have no idea.”“Terminator X is the richest man in the world! Do you know what that mean

“Mr Wales?”Louis confirmed. “Yes, Sir. Just call me John.”It was John Wales, the General Manager of Apex Z Group. Louis nodded at him.John Wales wiped the sweat from his face with a cloth. "Sir, I apologize once again. If I had known you arrived early, I would have come over sooner. I wouldn’t have kept you waiting at the entrance for so long. Please forgive me!"John Wales took a deep breath and said respectfully, with a hint of desperation.The person in front of him, Louis Kindsor, was the boss of his superior, Terminator X.Simply put, both his life and career depended on this man.If he messed up and Louis was unhappy, his job would surely be at risk.And that would be a true disaster.“No need to panic. It’s not your fault, John. I was the one who decided to come earlier midway.”Louis reassured.John had expected Louis, as a superior, to be very strict.But to his surprise, Louis was quite easy to talk to and very understanding.This really relieved him.“Thanks, Sir, for

“Would you like a tour of the Apex Z Group facilities while you’re here?”Louis shook his head. “Not today. I have other matters to attend to.”What was more urgent now was to determine who the real owner of the doll was.If Vivian’s doll was in the attic, that meant the person who saved him years ago wasn’t Vivian at all, but someone else.Who was it, then?He needed to find that girl as soon as possible.“At your command, Sir. I’m always here to await your arrival.”John said with a bow.He then indicated that he would see Louis off, but Louis politely declined.As Louis turned to leave, the entrance door swung open and a young woman rushed in.She wore a blue and white business outfit, her figure stunning and her beauty exceptional.Her long hair was pulled up in a high ponytail, looking vibrant and bouncy.She walked briskly, almost bumping into Louis. “Oh! I’m so sorry!” she gasped, looking up at Louis with wide eyes.“It’s f—fine,” Louis said curtly and hesitantly, stepping as

“... and therefore, isn’t reliable enough for us to consider a partnership at this time.”John got straight to the point as he didn’t want to waste the time.Juliet’s heart sank to the bottom.Her face fell and her lips went pale. But she didn’t dare back down. This was, after all, her last hope!Also, the Beaumons’ last hope!How could she give up so easily?“I understand the concerns, Mr. Wales.” Juliet continued, her voice trembling and rapid.“If you’re not at ease, I can offer all of Beaumon’s overseas assets as collateral.”“I can assure you they are completely legitimate and without risk.” “Additionally, to show our sincerity, we’re willing to offer a 60%—uhm, no, I mean a 70% discount. We just need a chance to prove ourselves.”Juliet? Beaumon? J and B?Just then, a light bulb went off in Louis’s mind.Of course!He remembered!Wasn’t that the name of Vivian’s best friend, the daughter of the Beaumon Family?Moreover, and most importantly, if he remembered correctly, the d

If Juliet was indeed that little girl from back then, his help now would be a small way to repay her.If it turned out that she wasn’t, he could just consider it a good deed.Unlike John Wales, who was only a General Manager, as the founder and big boss of Apex Z Group, he, Louis Kindsor, had no worries about the risk of cooperation.Juliet paused in her steps and looked at Louis with gratitude.She truly appreciated that he was speaking up for her.However, it was futile.No one, she knew of in the entire Apple City, had ever made John Wales change his mind.It was just impossible!Juliet thought it was hopeless, John Wales won’t give her a chance.“Thank you for your precious time, Mr. Wales,” she said with heavy heart, and turned to leave.However, Juliet didn’t realize how anxious John Wales had become after Louis spoke up.To Juliet's utter amazement, John Wales suddenly cleared his throat.

Juliet finally picked up her phone. "Hello?""About time!" Vivian snapped. "I've been calling all day!""I'm sorry, Vivian. You know, I was working on a project proposal—""Yeah. Whatever. I have big news," Vivian cut her off. "Louis and I have divorced.""Oh no! What happened?""Don’t feel sorry for me, dear. Congratulate me! I finally got rid of a freakish leech.”"He's the most awful being I’ve ever met, that's what happened! Do you know what he did?" Vivian's voice grew louder."He was having emotional affairs! ”“And you know what? He even dared to require a million dollars every month for expenses!" Vivian complained whiled expressing her discoveries and grievances, as if she was a victim, not a cheater."Really? I had no idea..."Juliet couldn’t believe her ears. How could a man be so shameless?She immediately felt sorry for her childhood bestie."Of course you didn't. Nobody knew how horrible he was," Vivian replied sternly. “You know what’s more?

The Sovereign ignored him. His palms began to glow with black energy as he chanted in a low, guttural tone. His aura surged—frenzied and unstable.“I am the end, Louis. The final act of creation. I will bring the universe to its knees.” He paused, his voice laced with venom. “Behold my ultimate technique—the Devastation Field.”Louis watched as the Sovereign's energy began to concentrate, the air around him thickening, growing heavy with the scent of imminent destruction.The Sovereign’s aura expanded rapidly, like an invisible hand that reached for the heavens. “This is my final gift to the world—a hundred miles of devastation, erasing everything within its reach.”The ground beneath them trembled, the air crackling with an intensity Louis had never felt before. The Sovereign was sacrificing his own life force, using every last ounce of energy to power this weapon.Louis felt the gravity of the moment—the Devastation Field would be a death sentence for everyone in its range. Even his

The Sovereign’s face drained of color. He stumbled backward, his rage bubbling over into desperate denial.“No! I… I—” he choked, his voice cracking. “I planned this! They were here! You can’t—”Louis smiled cruelly, his voice cool. “I know. I watched your men drag them all out through the back. You didn’t notice your own team had already turned, did you?”The Sovereign’s eyes darted in panic. “This is impossible!”“Is it? Your men were paid well, Sovereign. How could I let them keep risking their lives for you when they could be working for someone who, you know, doesn’t keep them locked in a vault with no dinner breaks?”Louis casually strolled past The Sovereign and walked toward the security footage screen that showed everything. He hit a button, and the footage played. The Sovereign’s own henchmen were seen escorting the so-called hostages out, making sure they were safe.“I love when a plan comes together,” Louis said with a wicked grin, as The Sovereign stood frozen in humiliat

Desperation gnawed at The Sovereign like a starving rat trapped in a corner. His grand schemes had crumbled—his financial empire was exposed, his immortality shattered, and his so-called power was slipping through his fingers like sand.But there was one thing he had left: fear.In a move that could only be described as melodramatic villain 101, The Sovereign took control of a towering skyscraper in the heart of the financial district.Hundreds of employees were held hostage, their lives hanging by a thread. The Sovereign, now a shadow of his former self, had planted explosives throughout the building.Through a live broadcast, he issued his demand:“Louis Kindsor. You will face me alone or I will bring this building down. You have one hour.”The world watched in stunned silence as government agencies surrounded the building, helpless to act. No one had a clue how to defuse the explosives, and every effort to breach the building ended in failure.An hour passed.Louis was in his offic

The tethers disintegrated, not with destruction, but with release.The victims gasped back to life, eyes blinking, souls restored. Thousands of them, all awakening at once.Eleanor gasped. “It’s working. Louis… you’re severing his hold.”Louis didn’t answer.He was already speaking through the energy lines, letting The Sovereign hear him directly.Hey, Sovereign. You feeling that? That tingly sensation? That’s what it feels like to lose.”“Every scream you silenced, every life you fed off—they’re waking up now. And guess what? They’re not grateful. They’re pissed.”He grinned.“You built your empire on stolen life force. I’m just returning what’s theirs.”Back in his abyssal prison, The Sovereign shrieked as his strength drained, his spiritual foundation crumbling like soggy toast.“YOU DARE—!”“Dare?” Louis smirked. “Buddy, I already did. And I did it with style.”As the last of the tethers vanished, silence swept the chamber. The once-dormant victims opened their eyes, no longer hollo

He then unveiled the Kindsor Foundation logo—a phoenix and dragon intertwined, representing rebirth and discipline.“We are launching a global education initiative. Ethical cultivation. Taught to certified professionals. Not for domination—for healing.”“This isn’t a secret anymore. It’s a future. And the only thing you need to believe in… is potential.”The room exploded with applause.Even the harshest anchors choked on their skepticism.Governments that were seconds from blacklisting Louis suddenly applauded him. Medical boards requested access to his research. UN ambassadors requested private consultations.Garvos blinked at the incoming message feed. “...Sir. China, Germany, and Canada just offered tax breaks if we expand clinics there.”Eliza looked smug. “A senator just apologized and called me ‘Madame Healer.’”Alexander sighed. “Still getting alien jokes, though. One guy thinks my head glows.”Louis just smiled.“Let them talk. As long as they’re listening.”Even with the world

The Sovereign might have been locked in the Kindsor Vault like a moth in a flame-proof jar, but his pettiness? Oh, that was immortal.Stripped of power, buried under his own arrogance, and with a bruised ego that would need a millennium of therapy, he did what any unhinged, centuries-old maniac would do:He pressed “upload.”Across every major platform—news, social media, holo-channels, even kids' cereal box QR codes—a terrifying headline exploded:“CULTIVATION EXPOSED: GLOBAL THREAT OR DARK MAGIC?”Clips of Louis in combat were stitched together with dramatic music, voiceovers painting him as a “sorcerer manipulating world leaders,” while Eliza was dubbed “The Crimson Witch,” and Alexander? Apparently “The Mind-Flayer Monk.”The Sovereign's voice—somehow still smug through cracked teeth—echoed through the broadcast:“These monsters bend reality to their will. Is that power… science? Or sorcery?”Governments panicked.Special forces raided cultivation schools.Hospitals reported myster

A cough echoed in the distance.Followed by the sound of rocks shifting.And then, with all the drama of a villain who refuses to stay dead, The Sovereign limped into the vault, robes tattered, hair wild, pride somehow still intact.“Well, well, well,” he rasped, blood staining his lips. “You found it. The great Kindsor prize. Tell me—does it sing to you the way it sang to me for centuries?”Louis turned slowly, unimpressed. “You look like a moldy curtain that lost a fight with gravity.”The Sovereign laughed. “Still joking. Even now.”He stepped closer. “You’ve seen what it offers. Don’t act like you’re above it. With your mind, my reach, and this technique—we could rule eternally. No more death. No more endings. Just… domination, forever.”He gestured toward the glowing scroll. “Share it with me, Louis. Or I’ll burn your friends to keep myself alive.”With a snap of his fingers, several holo-screens appeared, showing Eliza, Eleanor, Alexander, and Diana—all captured in containment f

Louis raised a brow. “Didn’t realize cosplay villains came with such terrible timing.”The Sovereign held up a vial, swirling with a glowing crimson liquid.“Your blood,” he announced. “From our previous fights. Collected drop by drop. All I need to do is apply it to the vault.”He turned to the gate, smirking like a child with a stolen toy.“You see,” he continued, “the vault only requires a touch of your lineage. It doesn’t care how I got it.”Louis tilted his head. “Ah. So you really didn’t read the family warnings, huh?”The Sovereign’s smile faltered. “What?”Louis casually strolled to a nearby pillar, brushing off ancient dust to reveal etched text in Old Kindsorian.“Blood freely given shall open the gate. Blood taken through violence shall awaken the wrath of the mountain.”He looked back at The Sovereign and added with a grin:“But sure, go ahead. Let’s see what happens when you treat my ancestors like an ATM.”The Sovereign hesitated.Then, pride overriding reason, he splash

Louis cracked his neck. “Did you really think I didn’t notice you?” he asked casually. “Your energy signature was all over your puppets. Every opponent you sent? They weren’t countering me. I was studying you through them.”Louis stepped forward, slow and deliberate.“Your footwork always favors the left. You overload your palm strikes to compensate for your fractured meridian. And that little twitch in your eyebrow when you prep a Heaven Breaker kick?”He smiled. “Adorable.”The Sovereign lashed out, throwing a barrage of chaotic techniques—Black Lotus Fangs, Abyssal Chains, Sky-Splitting Fists.Louis dodged them all with graceful mockery, countering each one perfectly.One palm strike sent The Sovereign stumbling back.“You’re not fighting me,” Louis said. “You’re fighting a reflection of your own predictable failure.”The Sovereign roared in frustration, throwing a desperate energy wave that shattered half the arena wall.Louis stood untouched.Then, with one flick of his fingers,
