Joseph glanced at Zayn, and mockery appeared in his eyes. Joseph raised and kicked his right leg.Thump!Zayn was instantly kicked and landed five meters away."Hey, I won't let you go! It hurts!" Zayn grinned in pain, he stood up and pointed at Joseph in a threatening tone.When Zayn left, Rose's eyes widened and looked at Joseph in shock. "Wow, you're really cool! Zayn is a trained man, but I didn't expect you to beat him with just one move."Joseph did not answer, he let go of Rose's hand, and checked the clock. Katty would be home soon.As for what just happened, using her as a shield for no reason, Joseph did not like it."You're really weird, I was talking to you, why aren't you paying attention to me?" Seeing Joseph ignore her, Rose not only did not get angry, but seeing Joseph's gaze, she became more curious. The deeper she paid attention, the more she felt that Joseph was very mysterious.First, Joseph was riding a bicycle, and the bicycle was rusty, probably decades old. No
Gawali continued, "Now your family business is starting to acquire thoroughly and invest in various industries in the country, such as medical care, catering, education, and transportation, and you will be responsible for that.""That's a lot!" said Joseph in surprise."Gawali, can I handle so many industries?" asked Joseph anxiously."Don't worry, I'll help you, Young Master." Gawali said with a smile. "Of course, if you want, there are still hospitals, schools, road projects, etc., we can buy them and use them to train you.""This is enough, no need to buy." Joseph shook his head, he always felt that this old man was pretending to make deals with him."Of course, it all depends on whether you like it or not, Mr. Joseph. As long as you can use the money to solve the problem, it's not a complicated matter." Gawali said with a smile. "By the way, yesterday our company just bought shares in a restaurant called Plaza restaurant. The boss of the restaurant was delighted and told me that h
"So far his appearance is fine." Rose said, "But, I don't know the condition of his family very well.""Then, Mr. Dave said he wanted to invite you to dinner, and you even brought your boyfriend along. Aren't you afraid that Mr. Dave will get angry?" Nadine asked."Whether he gets angry or not is his business. He's paying for dinner and I brought my boyfriend along. Why, if he gets angry and at least he leaves right away, I'm even happier, and my annoyance is gone." Rose said. She shifted her gaze and looked at the side of the road, and saw a young man slowly coming on a bicycle."Joseph!" Rose's eyes lit up and she pointed at Joseph and said, "Nadine, he's my boyfriend."Nadine looked at Joseph and then she was dumbfounded."Rose, you're not wrong, right?" Nadine opened her eyes wide, and her mouth opened into an "O" shape."You're saying this poor loser is your boyfriend? No way, why would you look for a boyfriend like him! He stole the food from my supermarket that day!" Nadine sai
After putting his bike down, Joseph exited the parking lot and arrived at the gate of the Plaza Restaurant."Hello, Manager. We have a VVVIP customer at the restaurant." When Joseph left, the security guard called someone.There was a rule at Plaza Restaurant, when a VVVIP customer arrived, they had to be notified first."What's his name?" answered the voice on the phone."His name is Mr. Joseph Guezz.""Ok, I'll arrange the welcome.""Joseph, why are you here just now? We people have been waiting for you for a long time!" When Rose saw Joseph coming, she cowered, as if she was angry, as if she was a woman who had waited a long time for her lover."There's a bit of traffic on the road," Joseph replied."You're riding a bicycle, how did you get stuck in traffic?" Beside him, Nadine spoke and looked Joseph up and down with a look of disgust. "That's right, he's the one who stole the food from my supermarket! I don't understand why Rose would have a guy like this as her boyfriend!" Nad
Hearing this, David's expression was flat, he glanced at Rose and said, "OK. 5 kilograms of caviar! Order it! As long as Rose likes it, you can order anything!"Joseph looked at the menu and said, "Bring me Platinum Arowana fish, stew with sauce and less chili.""Sir, our restaurant sells platinum Arowana fish by the half kilogram not by the head." The waiter coughed slightly, "The price per half kilogram is $50,000""Ok. David is going to pay," Joseph said.But David's expression became grim this time."Joseph, this fish is highly protected. It is not to be traded carelessly and is only sold per half kilogram at the restaurant!""If you want to buy a small one, of course, I'm not short of money. But if you order a large one, can the four of us eat it?"David said firmly to Joseph."If I can't finish the meal, Rose and I will wrap it up and take it home, is that okay?" Joseph looked at David."David, you invited Rose for dinner, don't tell me that at this price you can't afford it!" J
"Of course it's fine," David said.The door opened, and a slightly chubby middle-aged man in a suit walked in with a smile on his face."Hello everyone, I'm the manager of the Plaza Restaurant, you can call me Ken.""Mr. Ken, what's up?" David asked."Haha, you all spent over $500,000 at this restaurant. I specifically came here to apply for your membership card." The manager laughed and glanced at the people at the table.Mr. Ken took out a black card and handed it to David respectfully, "Sir, this is your membership card. You can give me your cell phone number. Later, you will get a 5% discount on all your consumption in our Restaurant, and even you have the chance to taste our boss's skillful cooking."David's eyes lit up, "Is there still a chance to taste Mr. Zhen's cooking skills?""Of course, although our boss only cooks a dish once a month, we will randomly select a member every six months, and then cook a dish for the member to taste.""This is a rare opportunity!""Then maybe
"Joseph is so good at talking! He even dared to say that he was a VVVIP customer and recognized the Plaza Restaurant as his own, and said Mr. Zhen would cook for him!" David clutched his stomach as he couldn't stop laughing. "Joseph, stop fantasizing and look at yourself! I just want to know why you would say something like that! Do you just want to try to impress others!" Nadine said. She shook her head and looked at Joseph with disgust, "What he said, was obviously to show off in front of Rose. But his emotional intelligence is very low, not knowing that the more he brags, the more disgusted the girl becomes.""Joseph, do you know that VVlP customers at this Plaza Restaurant can only be obtained if you spend more than $1000,000 at the hotel every year. You are a poor man! This is probably your first time coming to the Plaza Restaurant. You told me that you are a VVVIP customer, are you making a joke?" David continued to belittle Joseph."Mr. Zhen has won the International Swordsman
"That's good." Joseph nodded."Mr. Joseph, wait a moment. I'll give you some preserves!" Mr. Zhen left the room. In about ten minutes, he returned with a small black box in his hand.Mr. Zhen placed the small box carefully in front of Joseph."Mr. Joseph, this is the preservative. To further show the dominant nature of this golden dragon carving, I even sprinkled gold powder all over its body. Under the light of the lamp, it really shimmers golden. You can observe it in detail when you return home," Mr. Joseph."Okay." Joseph put down the small box and said lightly, "If there is no more business, you can come out. I'm going to eat.""Okay, then I won't bother you, Mr. Joseph!" Mr. Zhen nodded and hurriedly bowed together with his manager, they quickly walked out of the room.After they left, the room fell silent. Rose, Nadine, and David's gazes all looked at Joseph, each with a different gaze."Mr. Zhen respects him so much, is Joseph not bragging? Is he really the owner of the Plaza
In the Hospital Corridor The hospital corridor felt eerily quiet, though the sound of medical staff's footsteps and the occasional beeping of machines broke the silence. Joseph sat on a long bench, gripping his phone tightly, his mind wandering far. Occasionally, he took deep breaths, trying to calm himself. Mr. Barta patted his son-in-law’s shoulder. "Katty is a strong woman. Trust me, she’ll be fine." Before Joseph could respond, the cry of a baby suddenly echoed from the operating room. He immediately stood up, his face filled with happiness. The operating room door opened, and a doctor stepped out, removing their mask. "Mr. Joseph?" the doctor called. "Yes, Doctor?" "Congratulations, Mr. Joseph. Your son has been born." Those words made Joseph feel like a great weight had been lifted from him. He couldn’t contain his wide smile. "Thank you, Doctor. Thank you so much!" Mr. Barta raised his hands in the air. "My grandson!" he cheered. Ten minutes later, Joseph w
Then.... The sound of rapid gunfire echoed through the air! Joseph stood motionless, calmly waiting amidst the chaos. Heavy footsteps reverberated across the room. Members of the G Alliance emerged from the front door, their rifles still warm from their shots. They had taken down all of Ramond’s soldiers with flawless precision, moving like machines devoid of mercy. The G Alliance members had long trained to shoot in complete darkness, even with their eyes closed. This level of skill now allowed them to dominate their enemies despite the pitch-black conditions. “Turn on the lights,” Joseph ordered curtly, his voice authoritative. Ultra-bright flashlights snapped on, instantly illuminating the room. The light revealed a gruesome scene: twenty of Ramond’s soldiers lay lifeless on the floor, their blood pooling beneath them. The stench of gunpowder mixed with blood filled the air, causing Ramond to cough as he scanned the horrifying aftermath with fear and rage. “You…” Ram
Jennifer stood frozen in place, her body trembling, her once graceful face now etched with frustration and despair. Slowly, her hand moved to the folds of her dress, drawing out a small pistol that gleamed under the dim light. All eyes locked onto her—Joseph remained silent, his gaze as cold as ice, while Ramond sneered with a smug grin, full of disdain and mockery. Zako, usually quick to act, now watching with a mix of anxiety and helplessness. Jennifer raised the pistol to her head, her hand shaking uncontrollably. "This is all my fault..." she whispered, her voice barely audible. Tears streamed down her cheeks, but no one moved to stop her. She lifted her head slightly, her tear-filled eyes meeting Joseph's. Yet, there was no response from her son—no empathy, no hesitation, just a chilling, unyielding silence. Jennifer’s gaze grew vacant. Taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes, and without warning, the sharp crack of a gunshot shattered the silence. Her body crumpled t
The dim light from the chandelier cast sharp shadows across Joseph’s cold face. His eyes scanned the room sharply, observing each person within it. Jacky tried to speak, but no sound escaped his lips. He was barely hanging on, his life slipping away. Joseph glanced briefly at Jacky before redirecting his focus to the three figures before him. Jennifer abruptly stood, clutching a nearly empty wine glass in her trembling hand. Her face was pale, and though she tried to mask her nerves, her shaking fingers betrayed her unease. Ramond, in contrast, lounged casually in his chair, legs crossed as if there were nothing to worry about. Meanwhile, Zako appeared far more alert, his eyes darting between Joseph and the exit. “So,” Joseph’s deep, cold voice shattered the silence, “I come here and find myself... entertained by quite the show.” Jennifer quickly drank the rest of her wine, trying to steady herself. But as Joseph’s gaze locked onto hers, she froze. The woman, typically full
The room was dark and empty. Only the sound of Jacky’s footsteps echoed, filling the oppressive silence. His eyes scanned every corner, his pistol aimed forward, ready for any threat. But there was nothing—no Ramond, no Jennifer, no Zako. Only the cold air brushing against his skin like an invisible menace.Jacky growled, kicking over an old wooden chair that lay in the middle of the room. “Damn it! They escaped!” he yelled, his anger burning hot. He rubbed his temples, trying to steady the frustration boiling inside him. But before he could plan his next move, something unexpected happened.Out of nowhere, a coarse cloth wrapped tightly around his face. Someone yanked a bag over his head, cutting off his vision entirely.Jacky struggled, punching and thrashing, but his attacker was strong. Two firm hands restrained him with precision. Within seconds, he was forced into a chair, his body tied down with ropes that quickly bound his wrists and ankles.“Who are you?!” Jacky shouted, his
In the basement...The damp atmosphere clung to the space, making the air feel oppressively heavy.At the center of the room stood an old wooden table strewn with papers and maps. In one corner, Ramond sat on a worn-out chair, dressed in a faded shirt. Despite his simple appearance, his chilling aura remained unmistakable.The creaking of the wooden door broke the silence. Jennifer appeared, carrying two large bags filled with food supplies and water bottles. Her once-elegant dress now looked slightly disheveled, as if the long journey to this hidden place had drained her energy."Ramond," she said softly, lowering the bags onto the floor. "I brought food and necessities to last you a few days. I hope it’s enough."Ramond lifted his head, a faint smile forming on his lips—a smile that was both calming and enigmatic. "My darling," he greeted her warmly, his tone as smooth as ever. "You never fail to impress me."Jennifer lowered her gaze, avoiding his penetrating stare.Ramond rose fro
Ramond was a name well-known among the global elite, not only for his ruthlessness but also for his uncanny ability to manipulate. However, behind the mask of power he always wore, there was a hidden truth: Ramond owned nothing. Everything—his wealth, assets, and the networks he wielded—belonged to Jennifer. A woman trapped in her blind love for Ramond for years, she had made him a symbol of power in the eyes of the world.Jennifer’s love became a vulnerability that Ramond exploited without hesitation. He played his role flawlessly, presenting himself as a charismatic yet dangerous leader within the global elite circles. Jennifer even elevated him to the position of leader of the global elite, ensuring that all resources were at his disposal. Under his influence, many leaders in the network were willing to take extreme measures to achieve their objectives—whether it was dominating specific economic sectors, manipulating politics, or mercilessly destroying rivals.Ramond became a symbo
Joseph stood abruptly and said nothing. He cast a cold glance at his mother before turning and walking away. His firm steps echoed as he exited the grand mansion, with Gawali silently following close behind. The tense atmosphere was palpable, yet not a word was spoken between them until both Joseph and Gawali were inside the sleek black car. Once the car door shut, Joseph leaned back, staring straight ahead with an expressionless face. Gawali, seated in the driver’s seat, finally broke the silence, his tone cautious. “Sir, should I contact Interpol immediately? If Ramond is truly involved in your grandfather’s death, we can make him an international fugitive.”“No need,” Joseph interrupted, his tone decisive. “I’ll find him myself. I’ll deal with him personally. No one else is allowed to interfere until I’m satisfied.”Gawali gave a slight nod, understanding it wasn’t the time to argue.Joseph added, “Contact Jacky.”“Tell him to prepare the team. I need them ready for my next orders
The grand mansion was silent, with only the sound of Joseph and Gawali's footsteps echoing against the marble floors.Joseph stepped into the vast living room, its high ceilings adorned with sparkling crystal chandeliers.At the center of the room stood a golden sofa, strikingly prominent amidst the luxurious Persian carpet surrounding it.Joseph’s eyes immediately caught the figure of a woman standing near the large window. Jennifer, draped elegantly in white satin pajamas, stood poised as she gazed out. Her neatly combed hair reflected the faint light from the chandelier, and her face remained expressionless as usual.Joseph exhaled deeply, throwing himself onto the golden sofa with a casual yet calculated demeanor. He crossed one leg over his knee and stared at his mother with a mocking gaze.“So, my mom is still the same as ever,” he said sharply. “will awake when hear commotion.”Jennifer turned slowly, her expression betraying no reaction to his jab. With measured grace, she app
