This girl was Clara Carmichael, Philip's younger sister and William’s only daughter.

She turned on the TV but froze in her tracks at the sight of Chloe and Orion. She couldn’t help but stare.

A newscaster reported on Black Mercury’s sudden partnership with the insignificant Carmichael Group. The program also featured photos taken by employees, showing Marcus bowing to Chloe. The sight drew a shocked reaction from the Carmichaels, and, apparently, it was the talk of West Arcadia.

Senior Lucius’s attention shifted back to the contract, his aged fingers meticulously tracing its leather edges. It was truly legitimate. His granddaughter’s cleverness had caught Marcus Voss’s eye, and earned her this contract.

“Ha, ha,” Senior Lucius laughed, pride gleaming in his eyes. “My own granddaughter did this. Unbelievable. She really is the jewel of the family. Now, it's the Carmichaels time to shine in West Arcadia city!” The rest of the family let out short laughs.

  • I Dominate Them All!   Chapter 0001 - A Dragon amongst Men

    Rain seeped through a gap in the shattered remains of the Smith family manor, splashing onto a long, thirty-eight-seat dining table. The decayed and waterlogged wood, though burnt, still had bloodstains. A tall, handsome man in a black trench coat stood silently, staring at it. His cold blue eyes had been fixated on the table for hours, his figure as still as a statue. A hot air of power and authority surrounded him. This man was Orion Smith, the sole survivor of his family’s massacre. After a decade of forging an empire through fiery military conquests, Orion now stood in the room where his life had endured its most agonizing turning point. Where he had watched his entire family slaughtered before his eyes while he hid, powerless. Guilt stabbed at his chest, and he gritted his teeth, clenching his jaw tightly. His fingers curled into fists, so tense that his knuckles turned white. Then, with a sharp exhale, he released his fists, dropped to his knees, and bowed. B

  • I Dominate Them All!   Chapter 0002 - Who killed my family?

    The pair arrived at the Silenzio d’Oro villa, a twenty-thousand-square-mile fortress nestled on the hillside of West Arcadia. It had everything: indoor gym, pool, and even a private lake. It was the perfect place for Chloe to recuperate. Orion assisted Chloe out of the car. As soon as the villa’s security detail—men in dark suits armed with AK-47s—spotted their General, they snapped to attention in perfect unison, the thunderous sound of their movement echoing through the compound and startling Chloe. They began to raise their hands in salute, but Orion shot them a sharp glare, freezing them in place. Orion strode into the villa, still carrying her with ease. Inside, rows of the empire’s finest doctors stood waiting. At the sight of him, they all bowed respectfully. Admiral Flag stepped forward and addressed Orion. “As per your instructions, the empire’s best doctors have been assembled. All necessary medical equipment is in place.” He gestured toward the doctors. “They

    Not a single Carmichael had bothered to look for Chloe, even after all the time that had passed. To them, she had foolishly run into the fire, destroyed her beauty, and tarnished their social standing in West Arcadia City. Chloe, however, held no grudge against her family. After all, blood was thicker than water. Alongside Orion, she decided to pay the Carmichaels a visit, hoping they would bless their marriage. The couple stepped out of the villa, and Chloe’s eyes widened at the sight of a brand-new Mercedes-Benz adorned with red ribbons parked outside. Standing in front of the car was a brown-skinned man in a tuxedo, nervously fidgeting with a box wrapped in gift paper. As soon as he spotted Orion, the man squared his shoulders and called out, “Greetings, Supreme Gen—” while raising his hand in a salute. Before he could finish, however, Orion swiftly grabbed his hand and pulled him aside. He shot a glance over his shoulder to check if Chloe had caught anything, but her a

    Orion was shoved out of the house afterward by Miriam. “Orion, I’m sorry,” Chloe cried beside him. “I’m so useless, I don’t even have a say in my marriage.” He took her hand gently. “Don’t cry. Grandpa gave us his word. If I secure the contract from Black Mercury, your family will recognize us as husband and wife.” Chloe’s eyes were solemn. “But this is Black Mercury we’re talking about. And a half-a-billion-dollar contract? It’s impossible.” Once a business major, Chloe understood the true weight of his task. Black Mercury Group, the empire’s largest conglomerate, managed assets of hundreds of companies. In the city, the pillars monopolized all of Black Mercury’s contracts, making it nearly impossible for a mere servant like Orion to get even a fraction of that business deal. Orion could only smile. “Nothing’s impossible, darling,” he said. “We’ve got to at least try.” “Wait!” Chloe exclaimed as a memory surfaced. “I remember. An old classmate of mine works at Black Mer

    Tonight was a night of celebration for the Blackwood family. Exodus Corp, their most successful legitimate company to date, had just reached its tenth anniversary. Their patriarch, Senior Richard Blackwood, was also celebrating his 70th birthday, adding even more grandeur to the occasion.A fleet of high-end helicopters landed at the Blackwood estate, and A-list celebrities, politicians, and representatives from the empire’s most prominent families disembarked to partake in the festivities.Inside the manor’s grand foyer, Senior Richard Blackwood sat comfortably, attended by his harem of women, who caressed him and served him champagne. Despite his age, the patriarch appeared sharp and athletic, impeccably dressed in the finest suit money could buy.“Ladies and gentlemen, this is a $31 million Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime wristwatch,” the family’s butler announced from the hall’s podium. “It is a gift from the Morgan family, who wish the Senior prosperity in his new age.”The but

    Early the next morning, Orion’s phone rang. He answered it, greeted by Chloe’s ecstatic voice. “Hey, hon! I got in touch with my classmate, and she helped us secure an appointment with Marcus Voss, the chairman of Black Mercury. Can you believe it? Also, I’ve prepared a business proposal that I’m sure will convince him to give our company the contract. Where are you? Let’s go!” Sitting in the foyer of his villa, Orion took a slow drag from his cigar before extinguishing it in the ashtray. “Wait for me on your porch. I’ll come to pick you up,” he said. Moments later, he stepped out, dressed in a simple outfit and ready to leave. “Where are we going, sir?” Jimmy, already seated in the car, asked. “To my wife. Step on it.” “Yes, sir.” At Chloe’s house, a sleek Mercedes Benz came to a smooth stop. Orion stepped outside, only to stop in his tracks, surprised to find Miriam waiting on the porch instead. Her gaze drifted to the car, then back to him, and her face t

    Chloe snapped, “Excuse me? I’m not that type of woman.” Her modest response struck a nerve with Lucy. “Oh, so you think you’re better than other women who’ve gotten what they wanted with their looks? Come on, Chloe. You’re gorgeous. Use it to your advantage. Get what your heart desires; we won’t stay young forever, you know.” Chloe’s resolve was firm. “Sorry, I’m married. Plus, there’s no benefit on earth that could make me lower myself to being a director’s bed warmer.” Kane felt insulted. As the director of Black Mercury, he had slept with countless women, offering jobs and partnerships in return. But this second-class nobody had the audacity to remain steadfast in her refusal. It was infuriating. Angrily, he grabbed Chloe’s hand. “Come here!” His eyes were desperate. “Do you have any idea who stood before you? With a single call, I can reduce your entire family to ash. I’m Kane Voss, and everyone in this empire bends to my will. So, what’s it going to be? A night with me, or yo

    Chloe wasn’t dumb; the way Orion approached the situation raised her suspicion. First, her family had proposed a nearly impossible task, and he'd been unbothered, certain he could complete it in a single day. Second, when all hope seemed lost, he remained adamant that it would work out—and it did. There was definitely more to this man than met the eye, she could feel it. Orion chuckled, folding his arms. “How? I'm just a lowly servant, hon. I couldn't have possibly done this.”Chloe rolled her eyes. “You stay in a billion-dollar villa and have a personal chauffeur. You also bid for me with a… ouch!” Chloe held her head, staggering slightly as a flash of memory hit her.Her eyes lit up. “Yes, yes, of course! Though it’s a bit fuzzy, I think when I first arrived at the villa, hundreds of armed men tensed up at the sight of you. Also, there was this huge man who spoke to you like a subordinate. You ain't a servant, are you?”Jimmy, who stood close by, sweat profusely like he's the one
