............"Please pay attention to the things we are going to discuss in today's meeting, and voice your doubts after I am done explaining," Priya said, gesturing for Sofia to start the projector."Ladies and Gentlemen, as you know, our Johnson Investment Group isn't very old and stabilized not long ago, but our owner is very wealthy and saw the potential in this city, so he decided to invest in our future!" Priya spoke in a calm and deliberate manner."He wants one very simple thing: our development. He wants Willowbrook City to develop a decade ahead of other cities or even other countries, and to become the number one city in the world when it comes to development!" Priya continued, adding more details.Priya then explained how their development could surpass other cities or even countries, not just in infrastructure but also in technology, the medical field, the food industry, the music industry, the movie industry, and more."Each field needs to develop many times over what i
............"Great, let's start with the main field under infrastructure, the construction company." Riya relaxed a bit, seeing their nods, before stepping to the side as a projection showed the construction works of Willowbrook City."These are some construction works of various companies, as you see on the projection," Riya said, motioning to the screen displaying various building structures from different construction firms.She explained many details, outlining the pros and cons of each project shown in the presentation.Riya then highlighted new projects by the Allen Morrison construction company, Willow Crest Builders. She showcased their previous office building, various restaurant buildings from their chain, and the new project being built at the Prosperity Hope Orphanage.The people present at the meeting understood clearly which construction company stood out."After considering everything, we have decided that Willow Crest Builders, led by Mr. Allen Morrison, will become
............"Wait... wait... did you say 1 trillion...?" Allen Morrison exclaimed, bewildered, as he couldn't believe what they were saying."Hmm, yeah... is there a problem?" Riya nodded as she pointed at the transaction amount mentioned in the contract copies."No... no, it's not a problem, but how can you just drop such a heavy bomb on me!" Allen Morrison shook his head, showing his surprise."Mr. Morrison, are you going to keep getting surprised like that? I'm sure they have more planned for us!" Mera Ward commented, amused by Allen's reaction."Haha... for now, at least, we don't have anything else planned!" Riya shook her head at Mera's claim with a smile, then gestured for them to make their preparations.After saying that, Riya and Priya gave them some time as they started to call their banks and accountants to settle their accounts."Now then, let us begin!" Riya nodded at them, seeing they were ready. Priya helped Riya transfer 1 trillion each to the four of them before t

Shit, this painful sensation... It's been a while since I felt this prickly pain in my head!" Rohan muttered, clutching his head as if it were being split open."Phew... finally, it's calmed down," Rohan sighed in relief as the pain subsided."Now, let's see what I've got in my head," Rohan thought out loud before delving into his mind."Click... crack... oh, shit," Rohan muttered as he processed the information in his head. He was amazed and eager to act on it, but in his excitement, he accidentally cracked the table."Hey... Rohan, did you just break my table?" Riya, Priya, and Sofia arrived just then, drawn by the cracking noise. Riya noticed where Rohan was gripping the table.Riya gave him an annoyed look, pulling his hand away to inspect the damage. "Seriously?""Haha... sorry, sorry, my mistake. You can re
............Zane released Rohan's hand, still looking impressed. "I've seen many promising individuals, but you, young man, are exceptional.""Haha... thank you, Sir!" Rohan smiled humbly. He didn't act smug because he had already learned from Mia and Jake that there are many powerful people in the world. He knew he wasn't that powerful compared to those individuals, so he felt he shouldn't be too proud as he still had a long way to go."No need to be so formal with me, Rohan. Can I call you that? And feel free to address me however you like," Zane Pyros softened as he asked for permission to use Rohan's first name, showing that he was a cool and laid-back person."It's alright, Mr. Pyros. You can call me however you feel like it," Rohan nodded, addressing him the same way he used to address Telly Bennett.Telly Bennett, observing the interaction, smiled and decided to lighten the mood. "Well, Rohan, you're certainly making an impression. Senior Zane doesn't usually give out complim
............Not long after Rohan left the SORT office, he immediately called Riya to inform her about his departure and transferred the 5 trillion funds to the company account.He reminded her once again to be bold and make large investments without fear.He then went home and informed Mia and Jake to take care of the villa while he was gone. He also gave them some pocket money to spend.He didn't inform Emily Muse himself, asking Riya to tell her later. He knew Emily would be quite mad at him for not meeting her after dumping the responsibility of taking over the streaming platform as CEO on her.Initially, Emily had been shocked and had rejected Rohan's proposal before reluctantly accepting and becoming the CEO of PerformStream.After informing everyone he needed to, Rohan called Zane Pyros."Screech...!" A car came to a halt in front of Rohan, and he boarded it."Are you ready now?" Zane asked, noticing Rohan was only carrying a small bag."Yes, I am. Let's go!" Rohan nodded, ge
............"Hmm... Why are there two extra presences in there? Is this a twist in information?" Rohan's footsteps slowed as he noticed two additional presences that shouldn't be there.He also noticed that his presence had been detected by the enemy and grinned, hoping his enemies were strong so he could properly flex his muscles."Swiish...!!""Whoa...there...!" Rohan dodged the sudden attack, glancing at the wooden plank stuck on the ground. He looked a bit surprised before turning back to the middle-aged man who had just appeared beside him."Who are you?" the middle-aged man asked cautiously, his eyes fixed on Rohan.Rohan studied the man, noticing his brown hair, blue eyes, and the saber he carried on his back."Your choice of weapon is quite good. Let's see if you have what it takes to wield it!" Rohan didn't answer the man's question but instead taunted him."Are you trying to test me?" The man looked composed, but his furrowing eyebrows told Rohan he was getting irritated.
............The seven onlookers charged at Rohan, each wielding a different weapon: an axe, spear, sword, blade, rapier, hammer, and staff. Each weapon was enveloped in the same blazing energy that the blue-eyed man had used, indicating their mastery or near-mastery of their respective arts. Their coordinated attacks were precise and deadly.Rohan remained calm, his breathing steady. The Essence of Zen Martial and the first move of the Metrona Blitz technique, the Eclipsing Strike, guided his movements. He felt the rhythm of nature within him, his body moving with effortless grace."Swiish... Boomn...!!"The axe wielder swung first, aiming to cleave Rohan in two. "Bammn...Ahh!"Rohan sidestepped, his body flowing like water, and countered with a swift strike to the man’s ribs."Bammn... Sizzle...!!"The spear followed, thrusting forward with deadly precision. Rohan deflected it with a quick parry, then spun to avoid the sword that came slashing from his right. "Swiish...Bammn...
