"Please sir, we never knew that it would turn out this way. He seemed like such a responsible man." Robert said calmly, his voice extremely sober from the shame and guilt he felt, having to come back to the same man he did not listen to barely an hour ago. Justin glanced at him one more time, fighting the urge to say something bad to him. He looked away, and took a sip of his drink."If you're not going to help us find him, then at least, give us his number." A woman pitched in. She was feeling irritated by his behavior even when they were the ones who brought it upon themselves. "We might be able to reach him." The others nodded, agreeing with what she had said."Look, all of you, I didn't come here to be disturbed. So, I would very much like it if you left." Justin finally said something, something they didn't consider a good enough response. "But... But, we can't just leave. What about Meeky? What about the money we gave him?" One of the men asked."I never said you shouldn't get

"It's okay!" Someone yelled from behind them. It was the manager of the eatery. Everyone in the eatery turned to face her immediately. Her face was painted with annoyance as she stared at everyone in the restaurant, her eyes finally settling on the ones who were causing the nuisance. "What is this? Why all the unnecessary disturbance? Can't you see that this is an eatery where people come to sit and relax?" She walked closer and closer to them as each word left her mouth. Justin sat in his seat, unbothered by everything that was going on. "I think you all should leave now.""But we are trying to...""I don't care." She cut in aggressively. "You're making my place of business uncondusive. Enough is enough. I've been in my office for the past ten minutes hearing you all ramble about what and what not. And I am absolutely tired of it. Now, if you may...""Hold on." An unfamiliar voice said. All eyes moved to look at who was speaking, even Justin. A tall, slender man with black hair wa

Robert thought for a while, his eyes on his companions, seeking their opinions. And after three unbearably long minutes, he made a decision."Well, okay then." He said dryly, hoping for the best this time around. Just then, Justin scoffed loudly. His tone, unapologetic and mocking. Everyone turned to face him. It was expected for them to feel angry at his expression but he did not care."I'm sorry, what was that?" Luke asked calmly as he moved to where Justin was seated. He was trying hard to concede his anger, but it wasn't working. Justin looked at him and then looked away, without saying a word. "What is your problem?""I do not have a problem. But I think you're bluffing. I know it.""And who are you? Aren't you the heartless one who refused to listen to the pleas of these poor people? Doesn't it make you feel uncomfortable?" Luke spoke in anger, the fury of it all burning in his eyes. He didn't like to be doubted. Justin didn't say a word to him, neither did he even glance at him
I Am The Richest Man Alive Chapter Forty-one - Detective Luke Vs Justin.
There was a snarl from Detective Luke as he saw nothing but disrespect in the words of Justin. His eyes peered at the young man dangerously. Justin knew he had struck a nerve, but he did not care, and neither was he going to try pretending to care. He wasn't ready to act like what he was saying was not the truth. He could tell from the so called detective's clenched fist that he was angry at him and his claims."You..." the man said, his teeth clenched as his fist were. It looked almost as though sparks could fly at any moment. "You calling me a liar, I hope that you know that if you do so, it then rests on you to find a better solution for these people, Mr. Hotshot."Justin did not give him a reply. Instead, he turned back to look at something else. He was not interested in helping the people as after all, he had warned them before."Are you listening to me?" Asked the man in fury. "Since you seem to have a big mouth that you are having so much problem closing, I challenge you to g
I Am The Richest Man Alive Chapter Forty-two - The Challenge 2.
The detective briefly hissed at Justin's words. "If you were that smart," he began, "You wouldn't be here looking for reasons why a detective wouldn't be at a restaurant. What exactly stops a detective from being found in a place like this?”Justin had another round of laughter at the man's words. "Look at you trying to use logic to make up for your fraud. You scammers are all the same. You can go to any lengths to make gullible people fall for you. Like these unfortunate people here.""Stop messing with me, young man. I promise you that you won't like it if I get angry." There were veins already popping on his head, showing how angry he felt. "Are you going to accept the challenge or what? I told you I can call up to five people that would put you to shame right here right now.""Okay, let's do it," Justin said finally, after laughing his hats off. "You mean, you really are going to do it?" The detective asked, his face and tone, stained with surprise. "What is that surprised look

"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
I Am The Richest Man Alive Chapter Forty-four - Men From The Van.
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
I Am The Richest Man Alive Chapter Forty-five - Detective Luke's Lamentation.
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

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

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
