"Oh, you will?" He asked one more time to be sure. His eyes widened with glee as he listened carefully."Yes. That shouldn't be a problem. Can I have his details, please?""His name is Meeky. And about two hours ago, he defrauded some people of their money, claiming that he was going to double it and give it back to them. But after that, he was nowhere to be seen." Luke explained."Okay. Where are you right now?""I'm at a little eatery close to Tastena. And Meeky's victims are here with me.""Alright. That will be all for now. Hold on.""Thank you for your help." Luke smiled as he put down his phone. He gave Justin a mocking look and just then, the room erupted with applause. "Thank you. Thank you. But there is no need to clap. I told you I would do it, didn't I?""Thank you so much, sir. You do not know how much you've been of help to all of us." A glad woman smiled, her hands placed lightly on her chest as she spoke."You've been such a blessing, Detective Luke. I'm glad you showed

He smiled sheepishly, getting to his feet at once. He looked at Justin and then, at his audience's happy faces. He thought to himself how much honored he was to be able to help the people's cases. They cheered at him as he went towards the vans, even if it weren't open in the first place."Tch... What a low life." Justin scoffed at the detective's smugness as he stepped away. He wasn't sure what was going on, but atleast, he had the sense that the people who had come, were not to be taken lightly. "Hmph... Now you see that I know my stuff and I wasn't merely lying," Luke bragged in whispers as he walked out of the eatery. The scammed victims followed him outside as well, leaving Justin there who observed what was happening from within.The van opened and out of it came two men dressed in tuxedos. They had dark shades on, and their bodies proved to the eye of everybody else to be muscular. Luke flinched once he saw them, but decided that he shouldn't be afraid of how they looked. H

Luke writhed painfully on the floor as the two men that had alighted from the car, shut the doors and moved on, leaving him in nothing but chronic pain, covered in dust and blood. "Hahaha!" Justin laughed at him with his finger outstretched towards the so-called detective that he knew for certain at this point, was a fraud, not much different from Meeky. Only dumber. "You got what you deserve," he said."Why you..." The detective gritted his teeth at Justin's words. "Detective Luke, you disappoint us," one of the men said. "Why would you lie to us about knowing people that can solve this mess when you don't?"Luke's face became sullen at once with shame and embarrassment. He almost seemed from Justin's view to be attempting to hide his face on the floor but couldn't. That caused more laughter from Justin than he had done before."Why are you laughing, you nincompoop? I just got beaten and instead of you to help me out you intend to stand there and laugh at me. Is that something you

Justin knew just what was going on and so did not wish to keep them waiting any more than they had. He brought out his phone and gave the men a sullen look."Just so you know, once again I wish to say that I find all of this utterly annoying. I am just putting up with it because I still have sympathy in my heart." "Shut up and do it." Detective Luke scoffed at Justin's speech. He was on his feet. His hand was placed on a wall supporting himself from falling down on the count of his still shaky legs. "If you truly believed in your own words, none of this would be an issue." "Okay." Justin dialled a number and it got picked immediately. The detective and the other men listened attentively to the phone call."Hello," Justin greeted. His tone of voice had become thicker and more robust sounding as he called. "I need you to do something for me. You must know Meeky Evans. He collected something from a certain client of mine and I would really like that he gives it back. Thank you for you
I Am The Richest Man Alive Chapter Forty-seven - Elegance. Money. Power.
In front of Bruce's office, a white Mercedes came parking by. Out of it came a thin woman with very dark hair that she made into a bun at the middle of her head. She had a sad pale look, but from the way she walked, one could easily tell that her movements were guided by money, and her eyes, ambitious as as it could be, seemed to scream the same things. Elegance. Money. Power. This was Leanne. Hopeful Leanne. She had her complete faith in Bruce. He had promised her actually, heaven and earth, of linking her up in ways to get her boutique back. And that exactly was what she was there for.Bruce was in the office expecting her. In his mind he would have thoughts come and go that he did not want to entertain. The same thoughts of the new unknown heir to the Drogonuv's empire and how it would affect him. Suddenly a knock came shaking him out of his head."Come in," he said, and Leanne stepped in, one foot at a time."Good afternoon, Mr. Bruce," she said in a manner that appeared to be i

Despite the fears of the uncertain still swirling up within her, Leanne felt much more relieved knowing that Bruce had connections that could get back her business for her. Bruce himself did not relent in his trials to make her feel comfortable. He was, himself, proud that he was able to get a seat in the Drogonuv's empire. How powerful, how lucky could he be, he said conceitedly to himself in his thoughts."Alright, shall we? If you are not so weak in your legs anymore. This should be a good time to move on to the Drogonuv's headquarters." Bruce stood up, leading the way to the doors in a gentlemanly manner."You are such a resourceful man," Leanne said, grinning from ear to ear. "Lilly must be a lucky girl to have you in her arms anytime she so desires. What a lucky woman she is. Any woman must be lucky to have you. I am jealous."This statement caused even more for Bruce to feel swollen in his head. He felt like he was in cloud nine to be praised by Leanne, who was generally mos

Lilly looked outside a window of their house. Her eyes were desperately searching for something. She bit her lips and held tightly to her phone. Her eyes were troubled."Where could you be?" She sighed hopelessly. "Don't you think you need to chill?" Diana said, from a corner where she sat down with her head pressed backwards on to the arm of a couch. She was playing with her phone, not bothered enough by her sister to turn her head towards her direction."What do you mean by that?" Lilly asked, shocked and perhaps even buzzing with rage for her sister to have said those words to her in as inconsiderate a manner as that. "I have been calling him for two days and his phone has been off for most of the time. And you think that I need to chill?"Diana got up and sat in a straight forward manner. "Well, I am only telling you that you need to chill. And you might be worrying too much. Who knows? He might really actually be somewhere having the time of his life. Or drowned in work.""Why y

"Hip hip hurrah for Dad," Diana cheered and the rest followed, including Meeky Evans."Goodluck, Dad," Lilly added.Right then, Mrs. Tucson stepped outside as well. She seemed to had overheard the conversation going on outside, and wanted to come join her husband off to where he was heading to. Immediately her eyes fell across Meeky Evans whom she remembered had said something about having connections at the inside of the Drogonuv empire."Meeky," she began in a considerably high-pitched tone of voice. "You told us you had some connections at Drogonuv, right?"Meeky immediately froze up, even with Diana all over him at that point. "Well, yes I did say that. Yes. My father is one of them. He has a lot of connections in Drogonuv's empire." Meeky was uncertain about her motives for the question, but he answered regardless."Then, please... Why have you not talked to him about this?" She asked, her tone of voice was not the only thing begging. Her eyes did the same. "Please, before I and

Chapter 557: The Price of Loyalty
The days following his confrontation with Mark felt like an endless storm to Justin. The stench of betrayal hung over him like a cloud, darker and heavier than any he had ever known. It was not just Mark's actions that wounded him; it was the realization that even those he trusted most were capable of turning against him. His empire, his family, the people he had built everything for, none of them were safe.In the quieter times when Justin wasn't surrounded by the unrelenting demands of his empire, the loneliness of the entire thing settled on him,In the silence of his penthouse, the cold glass walls offer no comfort. He knew this day would come. But it's still painful. The idea that someone he trusted, people who have stood by him for many years, can decide to betray him.It cuts deeper than any opponent that he had ever faced. But he didn't have the leisure to brood over it. The fight with Ethan was far from over, and Mark was just one casualty in this war. The loss of loyalty
Chapter 556: Reckoning
The room was silent when Justin re-entered. His expression was cold and disbelieving. There was no need for an explanation to the group still seated around the table for what had happened. The tension hung in the air. Every person in the room knew, it seemed, instinctively that a bomb had just gone off.And the consequences will cause serious damage. Mark sat at the head of the table. His fingers tapped the polished wood nervously. His usual confident demeanor was gone. It was replaced by a feeling of discomfort radiating from him. Justin could see it in the way his eyes avoided his gaze. But there had been more-something darker, something deeper. Silently, Justin walked toward the tabletop; his footsteps rang harsh in the otherwise silent room. Mark's eyes flicked up, catching everything else for the briefest instant before quickly looking down.“Everyone out,” Justin said, his voice harsh, commanding. There was no space for dissent.The team, sensing the heaviness of the moment,
Chapter 555: The Enemy Within
Justin sat in his office, staring at the files Mark had delivered earlier. The quiet hum of the city outside his window was a stark contrast to the storm raging inside him. A leak found in his own company—what he thought was kept safe—had just turned into a full-blown leak. People close to him are betraying him. And he didn't know who it was.In his head, Mark's words played on repeat, but it was the stabbing betrayal that hurt the most. He had single-handedly built this company as anything by steel-back-end deals, through a relentless strategy, and with the will to establish iron-clad grounds for its existence. And now, someone within his entire circle began tearing it all apart and selling to the highest bidder. A slap against the face, and Justin wasn't certain how to take it. He instantly picked the phone, dialing Mark's number. It rang once and twice, and right then came Mark's voice.“Justin?”“Where are we with the leak?” Justin’s voice was clipped, every word laced with an
Chapter 554: The Forgotten Foe
Upon waking, Justin felt gnawing uneasiness. He had won relatively hard and long, but as he walked in the office that morning, something was not right; the air felt heavy, the tension intense and indiscernible. Somehow, Justin couldn't seem to shake an inner feeling that someone was still perhaps watching, waiting for just the right moment to make his move.“Good morning, Mr. Drogonuv,” Mark’s voice broke through the silence as Justin walked into his office. The assistant’s usual upbeat tone was tinged with something more serious. “We need to talk.”Justin raised his eyebrows but waved his hand for Mark to continue. "what happened?" Mark's expression was tense, and Justin immediately felt a sense of urgency in the room.“It’s about the company’s recent movements. "I notice a few discrepancies in our financial reports. At first, I thought it was simply an oversight, but I now doubt it," Justin's heartbeat sped up. “What kind of irregularities?”“A few transactions that don’t add up.
Chapter 553: A New Horizon
The dust has settled. But the war was not truly over. Ethan's fall from grace was swift and unyielding. But Justin knows the road ahead isn't without challenges. As the remnants of Ethan's empire collapsed, Justin is forced to face the reality that his tireless victories have come at a terrible cost.The meeting room is quiet. It was the silence that came only after a fight. Board members who were once concerned about Justin's methods, Now they looked at him with a different respect. They understood the stakes, the price paid for survival in this ruthless world.But for Justin, respect is not as important as the weight of his decision. He sat at the head of the table, looking around at the face he was leaning on. Mark stood on the side. His normally confident demeanor was now marked with a delicate caution. Ava sat across from him. Her eyes narrowed as she examined the information in front of her. “Ethan's downfall has left a void in the market,” Justin said in a low but firm tone,
Chapter 552: The Final Blow
The days that followed the media explosion were chaotic. Ethan’s empire, once a towering structure of influence and wealth, was now a crumbling shell. He had endured the tumult of the tragedy caused by the scandal of Samuel Dayton, more than anything that Justin had ever expected. It had spread so far and caused investors to back out. But Justin was well aware that it was not yet over. He was indeed cornered, but that did not mean he was out of the game.One evening, Justin sat in his office, the dim light from his desk lamp lighting up long shadows on the wall. His thoughts are sharp and organized. With no room for complacency at this moment. It is time to end it all. Ethan has been a thorn in his flesh for far too long. And Justin knows the only way to truly destroy him is to take away everything that matters to him.As he searched through the documents on the table Mark walked in with a solemn expression. “we have a situation. Ethan is trying to play his last card. Word is that
Chapter 551: The Unseen Hand
The days that followed Justin’s decisive actions were filled with calculated moves and whispered strategy. Every step he took was a deliberate play in a game where only one could win. Ethan, however, wasn’t just a rival; he was a shadow, a figure always lurking, always ready to strike when least expected. But Justin had learned how to deal with shadows. And this time, he wasn’t afraid of them.Glassy, chilly and eerie, stillness filled the morning air. Just as Justin finished his very first cup of coffee, his phone bleeped with an alert from Ava. His fingers hovered over the screen as the text message loaded:"We’ve got a problem. One of Ethan’s shell companies just made a huge transfer—directly into the account of a prominent politician."A chill ran through Justin’s veins. The realization struck him like a fist to the gut. This wasn’t just a financial maneuver; this was a move that could bring everything crashing down. Ethan had gone from playing the corporate game to playing polit
Chapter 550: The Counterattack Begins
The morning after the war had been declared, Justin was already on the offensive. He knew it wasn’t going to be easy—Ethan wouldn’t sit back and let him take control without retaliating. But Justin had learned long ago that the best defense was a good offense. And if Ethan thought he could break him, he was gravely mistaken.The day started with a call from Ava. She was his eyes and ears in the media world, and if there was anyone who could keep the pressure on Ethan, it was her."Everything’s set," Ava said, her voice crisp and focused. "We’ve got the story ready to drop. I’ve coordinated with the biggest outlets. By this afternoon, Ethan’s going to be on the defensive."Justin reclined, swaying to the beat, tapping his fingers back and forth on his desk."Make sure we control the narrative. We can’t afford any loose ends. I want Ethan’s involvement in every shady deal and backdoor negotiation to be on full display.""Understood. I’ll make sure his reputation takes the hit it deserve
Chapter 549: The Cold War Escalates
The next day, Justin awoke sooner than his usual time, as his mind was already treading the mental paths of what had transpired. Lilly's disloyalty hurt him, but quickly the pain began to replace itself by a cold resolve. He was this way because he was relentless- because he flatly refused to bow down. And that wouldn’t change now.He walked into his office, his haven where he had made multitudes of decisions concerning the fate of his empire. The walls were not comforting at all today; they were lined with dark mahogany, closing in on him. There was a scent of coffee-heavenly, fresh, and inviting, but equally intent on leaving him in the throes of angers light and storm inside his chest. Mark stood by the window, his frame silhouetted against the golden light of these early hours. Definitely, he has been with Justin for years, unwavering in his loyalty. But today, even Mark could sense the shift in the atmosphere. The tension was thick, heavy. Justin hadn’t said much since his co
