............After leading the middleman outside, they swiftly made him unconscious and covered his eyes, securing his hands behind his back.Once Mikhail Kong placed him in the car trunk, they departed from the scene."Where should we take him?" Diego Rodriguez inquired, uncertain about the appropriate location to hold the middleman in their custody."Let's head to that old building on the outskirts of the city," Mikhail Kong suggested.They transported him to the outskirts, where a rundown and abandoned building was situated."Place him in the chair and make sure he's securely tied up," Mikhail Kong instructed, and Igor Ocampo successfully positioned him on the half-broken chair.After guiding Igor Ocampo on what needed to be done, he took out his phone, thankfully containing Rohan's contact number."Hello, Mr. Johnson. I apologize for bothering you, but I wanted to inform you that we've successfully captured the Middleman on your behalf. We're waiting for you on the outskirts of t

............"Please take your time, Rohan," Riya replied."Then ladies, see you later!" Rohan waved and left the room, leaving the two women alone."So, Ms. Samul, are you from Willowbrook Academy for the Arts?" Isabella asked, breaking the silence."Yes, how did you know?" Riya looked puzzled, realizing she hadn't mentioned it."Well, I guessed based on your age and your desire to help Mr. Johnson with this business," Isabella replied with a smile."Ohh," Riya's face lit up with understanding."By the way, is Mr. Johnson your boyfriend?" Isabella's question almost made Riya drop her drink in surprise."What... no, he is not my boyfriend!" Riya frowned and shook her head firmly."Relax, girl. I was just asking," Isabella looked amused, finding Riya's embarrassment and strong denial entertaining.'What a girl! Even though she has feelings for him, she's trying so hard to deny it,' Isabella thought to herself as she observed Riya's expression."Ms. Vanderbilt, can I ask you something?
From Rock Bottom to Riches: The Wealth Tap System 70. Middleman Spilling Everything
............"What's the deal, Kong? And just so you know, after today, you're getting kicked out from the underground scene in Willowbrook City!" Middleman tried to sound tough, but fear tinged his voice as he stared at Mikhail Kong, his threat falling flat."Hahaha...! Instead of bothering about us, maybe you should worry about your own situation. If you don't spill what we need to know, you won't be leaving here in one piece!" Igor Ocampo chuckled at Middleman's feeble attempt at intimidation, reminding him of the consequences he might face if he tried threatening them again."What... What do you mean?" Middleman's voice quivered a bit upon hearing Igor's tone."Let's cut the crap. Tell us straight up, who ordered you to target Mr. Johnson?" Kong's icy gaze locked onto Middleman as he questioned."Now I get why you're playing this game. You struck a deal with that guy, didn't you?" Middleman's arrogance resurfaced as if he had figured out the motives behind Kong and his crew captu

Rohan murmured.The mention of the Tanaka family stunned Mikhail Kong and the others.They all knew about the immense influence the Tanaka family held over Willowbrook City.For them, the Tanaka family was like a powerful giant capable of crushing them with their wealth alone."Alright, let's wrap this up!" Rohan turned, signaling for Mikhail to come along."What do we do with this guy?" Kong asked as he followed Rohan."Hmm, let's just hand him over to the police. They'll probably be more than happy to welcome him into their empty cells!" Rohan said with a slight grin, pausing and turning toward Kong."What's bothering you? The Tanaka family can't do much for a while. And they're not after you," Rohan reassured Kong, who seemed hesitant.Kong shook his head and posed an unexpected question, "Is it that you're interested in the world of crime?""Perhaps I might be in the future, but not now," Rohan replied, noticing Kong's hopeful expression.

............"The name, It's...!""The name is 'Son's Remnant'—what do you think?" Kong said, but the others looked at him with surprise written on their faces."You thought of that just now?" Aiden Patel asked, not expecting something great, but this was too much.Mikhail sighed, realizing his mistake, and said, "Let's talk about this later."They had also entered the city, leaving the outskirts behind.......Rohan arrived at the Pies N' Thighs Restaurant and headed back to the private room where he had been meeting with Ms. Vanderbilt."Knock...Knock!!""Hey, ladies!

............"Yes, Ms. Jensen. I'm really glad you called! It's nice hearing from you," Rohan said, his voice carrying a teasing tone."Hehe, you're quite the playful one, Mr. Johnson!"

Thanks a lot, Mr. Johnson," Priya Jensen replied, her voice filled with gratitude and a smile on her face.At the moment, Priya Jensen was in her office, talking to Rohan with a pleased expression on her face.'I took a risk with Mira's words, but I didn't expect to feel lucky today,' Priya thought, affirming her decision to make Rohan a shareholder."Don't worry, I'm just doing my part as the contract says. Oh, and a suggestion—if you need more funds, giving me more shares would be a good idea!" Rohan's voice came through. Hearing his idea, Priya started to consider it."I'll see if I can help you get more share

............[Ding... To master the "Stillness in Motion Technique," you need 500 Tap Points...[Ding... Does the host want to proceed with this...]'Hey, what should I do?' Rohan hesitated, unsure whether to master the technique now or later.He had no clue when he might need those Tap Points for other things."Forget it... Let's just master it. I can always earn more Tap Points later!" Rohan muttered, deciding to go ahead and master the technique.'Proceed!' Rohan thought in his mind.[Ding...Processing your request...Deducting 500 Tap Points...[Transferring the skill 'Stillness in Motion technique' to full Mastery....into Host's mind...[Ding...Transfer complete...]"Yes, Argh...!"

237. Young Master Alviric Dragorin
............The man seated on the plush couch was a man from the Dragorin hidden Family, a figure of immense power and influence. His very presence dominated the room, and even someone as powerful as Mord knew he had to show respect.“So, you were sent by Elias Kurovsky? You’re so weak!” the man finally spoke after giving Mord a brief glance. He shook his head in disappointment, his voice carrying a hint of disdain.“Master Dragorin, please don’t worry about my strength. I may be weak, but I’ve built a strong network in these lands. With it, I can help you accomplish your task easily,” Mord replied calmly, despite clenching his fists tightly. His tone was confident, showing no sign of dissatisfaction.Mord had heard from his brother Elias that the Dragorin family was searching for some traitors who had escaped. They needed his information network to track them down, and that knowledge made Mord confident. He sneered inwardly, thinking, *No matter how powerful you are, you still nee

............Ade nodded, a grim expression settling on his face. "Exactly. The Dragorin Hidden Family isn’t known for backing down easily. They’re powerful, and they know it. If it comes to a fight, things could get ugly fast."Rohan leaned back in his chair, his mind racing. The Dragorin family were no ordinary opponents—they were dangerous, cunning, and deeply entrenched in the power struggles of the hidden Martial world. A direct clash with them could lead to consequences far beyond their control."We need to be prepared," Rohan said after a moment, his tone more serious. "If we’re going to confront them, we can’t afford to underestimate their strength. Otherwise, we’ll be the ones to lose.""Agreed," Ade replied, his eyes narrowing as he considered the power of the Dragorin Hidden Family. "We need to gather all the intel we can and be ready for anything. The moment they make a move, we have to be ready to strike without hesitation."Rohan nodded, already thinking through strategi

............"Ehh...really!" Riya and Priya looked at each other with incredulous look, wondering why did they not notice that."You really forgot to look at the report, didn't you!" Sofia Baur look at Riya and Priya with twitch in her temple thinking these two really became spendrifts."About that, Sister Riya. It's about time to call our irresponsible Boss, shouldn't we." Priya said with raising corner of her mouth thinking only option as to how they can solve fund problem."Ahh... Rohan, should we...?" Riya hesitated, unsure of how to express her concerns. If they didn’t have more funds, they wouldn’t be able to complete the upcoming projects."What are you so worried about? Didn't he say before that if we needed more funds, we could just contact him and he'd transfer what we need?" Priya replied, noticing Riya's anxiety. She wasn’t the least bit troubled about calling him. After all, she was just an employee, and there was no harm in asking their boss for financial support.Priya

234. Troublemakers on Willowbrook City
............"How should I know what those arrogant shits are thinking? I just hope they don't enter Willowbrook City, or I might have to do something about them!" Rohan shrugged, his words turning cold."Hey... hey, Rohan... my man, you should know those arrogant guys aren't just any average men. It's what they have backing them that makes them so arrogant... and we're not in their league to criticize them." Ade looked speechless at Rohan's direct and cold words, even though he agreed. He knew they were nothing special compared to those arrogant piece of shits.As Ade was lost in thought, Rohan was mulling over the information.'How should I handle them? I'm not sure why their activity is getting closer to Willowbrook City. Are they here for the Turner siblings? Even if that possibility is slim, I need to make sure these arrogant guys don't get close to Willowbrook City,' Rohan thought, speculating why the Dragorin Hidden Family decided to send their men to all the neighboring citie

............Ade nodded and sprinted towards the door, while Ravi stood guard to prevent any other gangsters from escaping.The fight was already over except for a few men who came with Hans Schmidt. They stood, looking at Rohan with murderous intent while helping Hans to stand firm.As Ade sprinted through the side door, he followed the sound of hurried footsteps echoing in the dimly lit hallway. Arman Mace's shadow flickered in the distance as he rounded a corner. Ade quickened his pace, feeling like he was chasing a mouse, and a grin formed on his face.Meanwhile, inside the warehouse, Rohan advanced on Hans Schmidt. The remaining gang members, though outnumbered and exhausted, stood protectively around their leader. Rohan's eyes flickered as he thought about how to get information from this trash and dismantle the gang so they could never regroup."You think you can still walk away?" Rohan said, his voice calm but firm. "I've already given you a death sentence, so don't even thi

...... ...... "Like he said, we are not interested. So, care to tell us where your gang leader is?" Ade stepped forward, clearly annoyed, standing in front of Arman. He was not pleased with Arman's attempt to buy time. Even Ravi could see that Arman was just trying to keep them busy with his trash talk. "Fine, you asked for it." Arman, with a disgruntled expression, noticed his phone ringing. Understanding what this meant, he smirked at Rohan and his group. "Get back, Ade. We have a guest who seems to have just arrived!" Rohan, who was keeping a vigilant watch, noticed a few other presences outside the warehouse. Seeing Rohan's warning and vigilant expression, Ade instantly moved back beside him. Arman picked up the phone, his smirk widening into a sinister grin as he answered. "Right on time," he muttered, his eyes never leaving Rohan's. Rohan and Ade exchanged wary glances, both tense and more cautious at the change in Arman Mace's face. The atmosphere inside the warehouse g

............"1...10...30....55... Hmm, there are not that many here. Where might the rest be?" Rohan counted and looked back at Ravi for an answer."They should be patrolling other areas or maybe collecting money from the vendors," Ravi replied after thinking for a moment, checking the time. It was his guess based on the usual activity his team had observed from the gang."Hey, you fuckers, I'm talking to you! Are you ignoring me?" The gangsters who had thrown bottles on the ground glared at Rohan and his group, feeling ignored. Anger flashed across their faces."Crash...!""Fuck it, let's teach them a lesson!" Another group of five stood up, throwing their bottles too. Ten gangsters advanced towards Rohan, Ade, and Ravi."Damn it, they think we're weaklings!" one of the gangsters muttered angrily. Feeling humiliated by Rohan's dismissive attitude, they lunged at him, who was standing at the front."Swiish... Bam! ... Ahhhh...!!""Crash... Thud... Thud...!!"Just as the gangsters lu

............"Thank you again, Mister, and you too. Please, let me show my gratitude sometime if you have the time. Here’s my contact info!" Anshika Kumari bowed and thanked Rohan and Ade once more, offering her phone number to Rohan. She felt that words alone weren't enough to express her gratitude and wanted to invite them to dinner sometime.Although she was poor, she knew how important it was to be thankful after being saved from such a dangerous situation.If Rohan and Ade hadn't arrived when they did, who knows what that gangster might have done to her."It's alright. We'll call you when we have some time. Now off you go. That nice lady will drop you off wherever you need to go. And make sure you don't follow any shady uncles next time, alright?" Rohan smiled gently, noticing the little lady's smile, a stark contrast to her earlier crestfallen expression."Mmm... see you next time, Mister. Farewell for now!"

............"Okay...Ms. Kumari, can you tell us how you ended up here? You know this place is very dangerous and filled with gangsters like those guys over there!" Rohan asked the girl pointed at the two pigs lying on the floor, wondering what her story was and what kind of situation led this girl to this dangerous place."I...!" Anshika looked at Rohan's face, hearing his words, unsure where to start explaining her situation that led to her current predicament.She became emotional as she remembered why she followed that portly man despite knowing he had no good intentions.At twenty years old, Anshika’s mother had suddenly been admitted to the hospital due to a stroke.
