I Am The Richest Man Alive Chapter Twenty-six - The Manager.
The security guards backed off for a moment, certainly surprised and wary of Justin's claims, being that he seemed so confident, without a shred of bluff in his tone and words, that he would certainly get them to lose their jobs. Such threats to a person who valued his job, were never to be taken lightly. The security guards were careful, hesitating to make any action in the long run. Avoiding to be rash in their dealings. It was obvious to the rest of the staff, as well as Lilly and Bruce, that the security guards were afraid of touching Justin."You cowards," the Cashier cried out, her hair on edge, and a face painted with anger. "What are you all waiting for?" Justin at this time had a smirk drawn over his face. His arms were folded, waiting for the security guards to come take him away if they weren't so afraid for their jobs."Okay, so be it." Bruce declared, shoving his hand into his pockets, and digging up a phone. "I am tired of being here and watching this poser make a foo
I Am The Richest Man Alive Chapter Twenty-seven - You Will All Regret This.
The security guards had no qualms this time around on tossing Justin out. As long as it had already been established that he had no ties to the manager of any sort. They were angry, pissed that he played them for fools, threatening by all he could, when he couldn't possibly do anything, that they would lose their jobs. Both men seized Justin by both arms. He did not struggle, although it showed on his face that he detested being carried around like they were doing to him."You oaf," one of the security guards cursed."You're lucky we were not instructed to beat you up," the other one snarled menacingly with a frown and a glare from the side of his eyes. "You're lucky that the manager is not a bad person. I would have given you the beating you deserve. After talking all that shit about getting us fired. You really deserve to get beaten, you piece of scum.”Justin was not concerned about their words and whatever they had to say. He glared only at the manager. "You will regret this," h
I Am The Richest Man Alive Chapter Twenty-eight - Sweet Sweet Revenge.
"A splendid day, Mr. Justin, what can I do for you?" The manager's voice was eager and cheerful in the way he spoke. "You seem to be in a not so good mood. Is anything the matter?"Justin wondered if he should tell him anything in a brief thought of seconds. He shrugged it off immediately. "Don't worry about how I sound," he said. "See... I wanted to know if the Leanne Boutique is one of dad's investments. Is it?"Justin hoped earnestly within him for an affirmation. "Well, yes. As a matter fact, the company has a close to eighty percent share in the business's stock." The manager's words sounded like honey to Justin's ears. A honey of sounds. So much that he could feel himself vibrate from how good it made him feel. Sweet sweet revenge."Good, good." Justin smiled rather wryly."Is anything the matter?" The manager asked again."Well, there is. But I will leave stories like this for another to be told. What I want from you right now is to pull out all our assets and investments from
I Am The Richest Man Alive Chapter Twenty-nine - The Men In Suit.
"Yes, how may I help you?" The Cashier asked, her face in a frown wondering if she had gotten herself more weirdos as customers once more."Not much," one of the men said in response. "We are here to shut down the boutique. Drogonuv is shutting it down due to its bankruptcy." The Cashier couldn't believe her ears. It seemed it was from one problem to another. Today, it seemed, was cursed with the high chance of coming across weird men with an absurd level of audacity."What?" She asked, trying to clarify her hearing, but before she could complete her words the men had begun to announce to the populace in the boutique that they were closing the place down.Bruce and Lilly were just as shocked, both holding bags of clothing in their hands. "Who are these ones now?" Bruce complained, feeling tired already of the strung out day."The Leanne Boutique is now the sole property of the Drogonuv, we advice that all of you in here should leave. We are shutting this place down.""Are you sure
I Am The Richest Man Alive Chapter Thirty - Closed Down For Bankruptcy.
Leanne's face wore all the elements of surprise and confusion. She was speechless for a second, but she immediately regained herself. Her eyes flashed with fury as she began to speak."Excuse me?" She scoffed, turning to look at Bruce and Lily in disbelief, before turning back to the man who had just addressed her. "What do you mean by that? Bankrupt? How?" She was trying as hard as she could to keep her voice down and be calm. But the intensity at which her blood was boiling within her fought against it. "Well, like I said before, this boutique is being closed down for bankruptcy, so I advise that you all exit the building immediately.""What the hell are you talking about? How would my boutique be bankrupt and I of all people, am not aware? How dare you drive my customers out?" Bruce and Lily nodded in agreement and walked up to her."Calm down, Leanne. I know this is utterly ridiculous and extremely annoying. But, just try to catch your breath for a moment." Lily advised, rubbing

"What happened in there, Leanne? What notification were they speaking of?" Lily asked eagerly, anger present in her voice. Leanne said nothing, deep in thoughts and disbelief of what had just happened. There was a lot going through her mind, so she couldn't come to a conclusion just yet. "Leanne!""Hold on a second, Lily. Let her think. I'm also curious to know, but then again, let her be. She'll tell us when she's feeling better." Bruce remarked softly, his hand was placed over her shoulder, an attempt to comfort her."Damn! That dude was so annoying. Who the hell is he? I'm so confused right now, I don't even know what to think. This is so annoying." Lily said in anger, her body twitching in severe agitation."Justin...." Leanne whispered softly. Her voice was almost inaudible but her friends were able to hear her."What did you say?" Bruce asked without hesitation, a frown swallowing the shape of his forehead."What if it was Justin?""What Justin?" Lily asked in a mocking tone, ro

Justin watched the woman beg. He had first swore in his own heart and good soul that he wouldn't lift a finger. Not for her sake.Her eyes were soaked with tears, glittering in the sunlight as he stared from above her.Was this what he wanted? he thought. His heart was already stifling with guilt. To watch an innocent woman cry holding on his shirt? Not exactly. She was only unlucky enough to get caught up in the figurative battle he had drawn with Bruce and Lilly. But now, here she was, begging to have her business saved."I am sorry, I did not know who you were. I had no idea that you were who you say you were. Please I beg of you. Don't do this to me. I worked hard to make this business flourish and stable." Leanne seemed to be right at the edge of her wits. It wasn't of her to be acting this lowly at the time.Justin did not say a word to her. Rather he watched as she continued to beg. He was prepared to be stone hearted."Please, get off me" he finally said. "It's already done.
I Am The Richest Man Alive Chapter Thirty-three - Pity.
Leanne was embarrassed. Very embarrassed. The thought that she had been begging all this while at the feet of an ordinary low life who was merely pretending to be rich enraged her so much that whatever grief she felt at the time got pushed aside. In her eyes Justin was just no more than a pest. Lilly and Bruce could not have been wrong. She trusted them since they all came from well known affluent families. How could they ever lie to her?Justin rolled his eyes at the situation. Just what he expected to happen was exactly what was going on. Just at the moment he was about to call off his punishment, there she was standing eye to eye with him, anger visible on her face."I see that you are a trickster," Leanne accused. "Now I regret that I ever came to beg such a low life as you. You are not worth even standing before me, you rat."She immediately pushed him off her car. Justin did not know what would happen, so he was not able to break his fall by having a strong footing. Before he k

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
