One Day Later at the Net TV Office

Hammo arrived at the Net TV office with his eldest son, Darren Xanta. They were there to fulfill an invitation from Dom to be guests on the talk show scheduled for that afternoon.

Hammo wore an elegant gray suit, while Darren, despite having his left arm in a cast, walked with a proud, confident stride.

As they approached the front entrance of the building, Darren’s eyes immediately locked onto someone familiar. Zander, the former military commander, was mopping the floor in a janitor’s uniform, just as Darren had last seen him.

“Daddy, look at that!” Darren whispered with a sneer, glancing toward Zander. “There he is, the former military commander now mopping floors. How embarrassing, right?”

Hammo glanced toward where Darren was pointing, squinting his eyes as he observed Zander with a neutral expression.

After a few seconds, he spoke in a low voice, though loud enough for Darren to hear, “Why does a big company like Net TV still employ

    Hammo remained calm, though his lips tightened. He looked at Antony with a small, forced smile. "Ah, I know what you're referring to." "Unfortunately, there are many rumors that are often exaggerated. What happened at that party has been handled internally, and I assure you that there is nothing for the public to worry about," he continued. Antony didn’t back down. He gave a small nod before responding, “Of course, the public just wants to make sure that their leader doesn’t have personal issues that could affect his integrity.” Hammo seized the pause to give a more diplomatic response. "Antony, I believe integrity is paramount in leadership. That is why I have taken steps to ensure that all personal matters do not interfere with my responsibilities to the public.” “The people of Venua can trust that I am solely focused on their well-being.” The tension in the studio slightly eased. The audience behind the camera nodded in agreement with his answer. Darren, though still

    The anonymous man spoke again, "I haven't been paid my salary for the last two months before I was suddenly fired." "I worked hard for the Xanta family, but when I started questioning some of Mr. Hammo's decisions, I was fired without a clear reason, and why wasn't my salary paid?" The audience in the studio and at home were stunned. Hammo, who had been listening carefully to every word, now looked increasingly anxious. Antony continued in a more serious tone, "That is truly shocking. Mr. Hammo, do you have an explanation for these accusations?" Hammo, despite trying to maintain his composure, finally responded. "What this anonymous guest is saying is a one-sided perspective. I have always strived to be fair to all my employees, including when it comes to salary payments." "If anyone feels wronged, we are always ready to resolve the issue in a fair and professional manner." However, the atmosphere in the studio was growing more tense. The audience started talking among

    In the grand Xanta family mansion, Hammo’s fury remained unrelenting since he returned from the talk show. The sound of shattering glass and destroyed objects echoed throughout the room. The servants could only stand silently in the corners, trying not to attract attention. Darren and Ganza sat on the sofa, exchanging nervous glances, but neither dared to intervene. “Dom! This is all his fault!” Hammo roared, slamming his hand on the table, leaving a large crack on its surface. “He’s the one who invited me to that cursed show!” Darren cautiously attempted to speak. “Dad, maybe it’s not entirely Mr. Dom’s fault. The media—” “Shut up!” Hammo cut him off sharply, glaring at Darren with blazing eyes. “The media? Dom should’ve prevented this!” Hammo paced back and forth across the room like a trapped beast. “I need to divert the media’s attention. There has to be something... something bigger than this!” Beneath his anger, Hammo knew he desperately needed Dom. However, his

  • I AM COMMANDER ZANDER: Your Good Villain   0022-Arrived in Atome

    Zander sat in the back seat of a Mercedes-Benz G-Class 4x4 Squared, a rugged yet luxurious vehicle, perfect for the journey to a remote countryside like Atome. Beside him, Jacky was busy checking coordinates on their military tablet, while three commanders from the Rhett Military Academy sat upright in the front and back seats, holding light weapons as a precaution. The car’s engine purred smoothly as they navigated rocky, winding roads. For five hours, Zander remained silent, his gaze fixed on the window. His eyes were sharp, but his mind was filled with questions. If Biella was truly in this place, why had she never tried to reach out? Jacky broke the silence. “Young Master, are you sure Galio will talk and tell us about Miss Biella?” Zander replied without turning, his voice cold. “He will talk. If not, I’ll send him to hell today.” Jacky glanced at Zander, knowing the man was serious. There was no room for failure in this mission. They finally arrived at the remote v

    Once inside the house, Jacky’s expression immediately shifted as they took in the interior. Contrary to its shabby and dilapidated exterior, the inside was spacious, with wooden walls adorned with luxurious ornaments. A dozen large men were scattered throughout the room. Some held bottles of alcohol, while others casually smoked something clearly not a regular cigarette. The pungent smell of drugs mixed with alcohol filled the air, causing Jacky to wrinkle his nose. The men seemed engrossed in their revelry, laughing loudly, paying no attention to Zander and his team. “You don’t need to worry,” Galio said lightly, waving his hand as if to reassure his guests. “I always keep an open house. Making people happy is my life’s purpose.” Zander didn’t respond, his sharp gaze fixed straight ahead, unaffected by the chaos around him. Galio smirked faintly, walking to a large wooden chair in the center of the room and sitting down nonchalantly. Two burly men immediately stood on eit

    Seeing their boss being shouted at by Zander, two burly men, Galio's subordinates, immediately stepped forward to confront Zander, threatening him not to act rudely here. Jacky moved ahead to block them. "Leave this place if you can't show respect to our boss!" one of the burly men said to Zander, glancing at Jacky. Zander responded coldly, "I asked your boss nicely, but it seems he prefers rough methods." "Yep, Zander. I don't like polite negotiations," Galio replied arrogantly. Standing behind his subordinates, Galio lazily waved his hand. "Take them down!" he ordered with fury. Twelve massive men moved in unison. Their footsteps echoed, and their faces were filled with rage. Three military commanders from the Rhett Academy, each wearing black combat uniforms that had seen countless fierce battles, stepped forward near Jacky, ready to face the twelve burly men. One of the Rhett Academy commanders, Levi, tightened his gloves. "It's been a while since I beat up street

    Zander stood in the middle of the room, his sharp eyes fixed on Galio, who now had no options left. The aftermath of the battle lingered in the air, with Galio's henchmen sprawled unconscious on the floor. The guests who had been indulging in alcohol and drugs earlier had all hurriedly fled the house, leaving Galio completely alone. "I'll ask you one last time," Zander said coldly. His voice wasn’t loud, but the weight of his words made the air feel heavier. "Where is Biella?" Galio gritted his teeth, his face flushed with humiliation and rage. He glared at Zander with burning eyes, but there was nothing he could do. All his men had been defeated, and no one would come to his aid now. "You think I'll betray my family just because you've won here?" Galio said bitterly, his voice dripping with hatred. Zander let out a small sigh, as though disappointed but not surprised. "I tried to be reasonable, but it seems you prefer I take another approach." Jacky, standing by Zan

    Zander stood in front of the Atome Nursing Home gate with Jacky. The place looked extremely run-down from the outside. The paint on the walls was peeling, the rusty gate was nearly collapsing, and wild bushes grew unchecked around the property. The atmosphere was eerily quiet, interrupted only by the occasional sound of insects. Jacky glanced around with raised eyebrows. "Young Master, is this really a nursing home? It looks like it’s been abandoned." Zander didn’t reply, simply pushing the gate, which creaked softly as it swung open, and stepping inside. Jacky followed, his gaze scanning the place with suspicion. Once they entered the main building, the interior wasn’t much better. A damp, musty smell filled the air, the walls were stained, and parts of the wooden floor were rotting. However, it was indeed a nursing home. In the corners of the room, elderly residents sat in wheelchairs or lay on simple beds. There were about 15 elderly people in the room, most of th

    The aunts’ children quickly took over the house, as if the grand mansion was their personal playground. Lauren and Chika were busy rocking back and forth on an antique rocking chair in the living room, laughing as they pushed it so hard that it nearly tipped over. Selly casually sat at the grand piano in the corner of the room, pressing random keys without care, producing an off-key cacophony that grated on the ears. Meanwhile, the triplets—Aca, Eca, and Ica—ran through the house, opening every door they came across and barging into private rooms without the slightest hesitation. It wasn’t long before they discovered the private swimming pool in the backyard. Without a second thought, the six teenage girls jumped into the water with delight, splashing around wildly and adding to the growing chaos in the house. Darren, already at his limit, abruptly stood up, slamming his fist on the dining table so hard that the silverware rattled. "Enough!" he bellowed. But the aunts

  • 0076-The Aunts

    That night, the atmosphere in the Xanta family's dining room was filled with unspoken tension. At the long dining table, illuminated by a luxurious crystal chandelier, Madam Nousa sat at the head of the table with an air of authority, watching over her children: Darren, Ganza, and Biella. Hammo was nowhere among them—he was now imprisoned in his own body, paralyzed and in pain, unaware that his private nurse, recruited by Madam Nousa, was slowly poisoning him with a substance that would gradually destroy his organs. They had just begun their meal when suddenly, the front door swung open, followed by the sound of numerous footsteps. Three middle-aged women, each carrying large suitcases, entered the house with an air of arrogance. Alongside them were six teenage girls, all in their early teens, their eyes filled with excitement as they took in the grand interior of the Xanta estate. They were Lauren and Chika, daughters of Aunt Sauna; Selly, daughter of Aunt Wulan; and the tr

    **The Next Day.** A fifty-year-old man arrived at Madam Nousa's private chamber. There were five knocks on the door. Madam Nousa, who was smoking, turned toward the door with a calm expression. She already knew who had come. Austin, a man in a formal suit with a firm posture and an unreadable face, stepped inside after locking the door behind him. Though age had crept upon him, his body remained solid and strong—a remnant of his past as a former military man. For twenty-eight years, Austin had served as the personal assistant of the Xanta family, handling all affairs and acting as Hammo’s right-hand man. However, no one knew that he was also Madam Nousa’s secret lover. Their affair had begun long before Madam Nousa married Hammo, a relationship that was nothing more than an outlet for their carnal desires. Without a word, Austin loosened his tie and walked toward her. Madam Nousa stood from her chair, inhaled her cigarette deeply, then exhaled the smoke into Austin

    One hour later, Biella returned to the Xanta family home with Zander. That night felt more ominous than usual because the moment she stepped into the main hall, she immediately saw Madam Nousa arriving with Darren and Hammo, who was seated in a wheelchair. It was Madam Nousa herself who pushed the wheelchair, her expression unreadable. Darren’s gaze instantly shifted to Biella, who stood tall beside Zander. His anger flared the moment he saw the man. With a voice full of hatred, Darren snapped, “Biella! You ungrateful child! Your father is in this condition, and all you do is spend time with that useless man? You only think about yourself!” However, Biella did not react as Darren had expected. Her face remained calm, as if his words had no effect on her. With a cold yet firm tone, Biella replied, “I’m ungrateful? Darren, have you forgotten who has been paying for all of Father’s medical expenses? If not me, then who? You?” Darren was momentarily silent, but he quickly tried to d

    Meanwhile, elsewhere… After Nora's departure, Darren felt utterly devastated. Without power, money, or allies, he felt cornered. At this moment, the only person left by his side was his mother, Madam Nousa. Madam Nousa gazed at her son, who sat with his head bowed. She could see the panic in Darren’s eyes. With a gentle yet firm voice, she said, “Darren, listen to me. I will always be with you, no matter what. No matter what happens. You are my son, and I will not let you fall just like that.” Darren looked up, his eyes filled with despair. “But I’ve lost everything, Mom… I have no power, no money, no allies. I don’t even know what to do anymore…” Madam Nousa gave a small smile. “You’re wrong, my dear. You still have me. And I have more power than you can imagine.” Madam Nousa, or better known as "Madam N," was a figure both feared and respected in the underground world. After entering a contract marriage with Hammo, she built the largest prostitution empire in the world. With

    Biella sat in the CEO’s chair, her head lowered, her hands trembling as she read report after report filled with complaints from long-time employees of Xanta Corporation. Tears welled up in her eyes, eventually falling one by one. She couldn’t begin to imagine what her employees had endured over the past two years. Before she disappeared, the company had been running smoothly. Employees received fair benefits, opportunities for promotion were wide open, and the work environment was comfortable. But now, everything had been destroyed in the hands of Darren and Hammo. Zander, standing nearby, noticed Biella’s shoulders shaking. He knew how devastated she felt. Without a second thought, Biella stood up and threw herself into Zander’s arms. Her sobs broke against his shoulder, shaking her small, fragile body. Zander could feel Biella’s pain. His hand lifted, gently stroking her back. His anger toward Darren and Hammo burned even stronger. How could they treat this company so cruelly,

    Madam Nousa stared sharply at Nora, trying to find a way to change her mind. However, Nora did not show the slightest hesitation. She stood tall, arms crossed over her chest, her eyes fixed straight on Darren, who remained silent in shock. "I've made my decision," Nora said, her voice cold and unwavering. "There’s nothing left to expect from this marriage." "Our agreement clearly stated that this marriage should be mutually beneficial. But look at your situation now, Darren. Your father failed to become governor. You're no longer the head of the Xanta family business. So tell me, what do I gain from this anymore?" Darren remained silent, his face pale and expression blank. From the beginning, he knew this marriage was nothing more than a business arrangement, but hearing Nora say it so bluntly still pierced deep. Madam Nousa glanced at her son, hoping for a reaction, but Darren simply lowered his head, as if accepting this bitter reality without resistance. "My father was suppos

    A few days later, the day of the Venua governor election arrived. However, the tense political atmosphere had now shifted into a major scandal. The Xanta family’s name was once again the subject of heated discussions in the media and among the elite after shocking news about Hammo’s condition spread widely. Hammo was still lying weak in the hospital, his body paralyzed, unable to speak or move much. He was officially disqualified from the gubernatorial race. However, it was not just his physical condition that became the talk of the town—it was the reason behind his downfall. No one knew where it started, but rumors spread that Hammo had suffered severe shock after hearing the news of his same-sex lover, Voss’s, death. Darren, now the central figure of the Xanta family, felt the need to act immediately. Standing before dozens of reporters at an impromptu press conference, he firmly clarified that the rumors were untrue. "My father is not paralyzed because of the news circu

    Hammo snatched the tablet from his informant's hand with a rough motion. His sharp eyes scanned the screen, but slowly, his expression changed. His pupils widened, his mouth parted slightly, and the confidence that usually radiated from his face was now replaced by a deathly pale complexion. His body stiffened instantly. His fingers, gripping the tablet tightly, began to tremble. Across the table, Darren noticed the drastic change in his father's expression. "What happened?" The informant swallowed hard before leaning in and whispering once more into Hammo’s ear, "Mr. Voss is dead, Boss… His head was delivered to the Avoja mansion as a warning." It was as if the world had stopped spinning! The fine porcelain plates and silverware on the dining table became nothing more than silent background noise. Hammo opened his mouth, but no words came out. He tried to breathe, but his chest felt tight. Voss… dead? Impossible! It couldn’t be! "How… how did he die?" Hammo’s voice trem
