All of the Mayor's security men ran up to the rooftop of the Mayor's estate. They seemed to have seen a very important person, they all bowed respectfully."Governor!" A round figured short man wearing a dignified black suit stepped down from one of the helicopters that had landed on the helipad on the rooftop of the estate.The man glanced at all the security men bowing at him, without a word to them he spoke to his assistant who had gotten down behind him."Ah, I almost forgot about this city if not for that person who suddenly reminded me about it last night. Does that make me an incompetent Governor?" He suddenly asked in a manner unlike his position as a governor, he seemed completely carefree.But the assistant shivered, "Of course not sir. You're the best Governor this country has ever seen, other Governor's don't even dare compare to you."The assistant seemed to be currying favor, he spoke quickly and with the beads of sweat on his brows it was evident he was nervous."Hahah
"Y...Y...You...!" The Mayor couldn't form words, he kept stuttering as he pointed a finger at Peter in disbelief."Eh? You know him?" The governor asked curiously.Then with a fawning look he glanced at Peter, "My good friend, you know the Mayor?" He asked Peter instead since the Mayor was looking too stunned to reply."Yes Governor, he's the Mayor of this city, so of course I know him."The governor laughed and clapped his hands together."Hahaha, great, great! Things will run smoothly."Saying this he turned to the Mayor, "I'm leaving things in your hands. Whether the whole city is demolished and destroyed for reconstruction, it's no longer our business since it is now private property, I'll have the compensation money transferred to you to distribute to people."The Mayor could only nod, his eyes gleaming as he stared at Peter. So he had actually done it!He didn't just buy this city by amassing the properties through individuals, he had actually bought a whole city from the gover
The whole city of Landville was shaken by the sudden news that day.A whole city reduced to private property by a mysterious person. A lot of families who had given up everything because of the simple promise from the Stone family were left lost.News that the Stone family had left Landville overnight had surfaced.Almost everyone was left lost and broken.They had sold off all their properties to the Stone family and they were left with nothing, but they all had no right to complain because it was a legal sales transaction.Most people had almost fallen into despair until the former Mayor began to distribute compensations to each family.The few hundred millions might not have been enough to bring them all back up. Everyone pleaded with the Mayor to be allowed to buy back some of their old properties, however the Mayor told them the new owner was uninterested in selling."The owner is magnanimous, he has agreed to leave the city as it is. Be it stores in malls, and company building
Eight days later.Peter was enjoying the sun sitting on the rooftop of the penthouse suite in the Paradise hotel when someone knocked on the door of the rooftop terrace.Peter took off his sunglasses and turned around to see Samantha.He had just finished swimming so his robe was just hung loosely around his body as he laid relaxed on a recliner.Samantha's face turned a deep shade of red as she saw him."What is it Samantha?"Peter, oblivious of her reaction asked.Samantha looked flustered, she couldn't find the words until she averted her gaze towards the glimmering blue pool that showed the reflection of the sunlight, only then was she able to speak."President, someone is here to see you."Peter frowned, "Someone came here to see me? Who is it?"He had come to his penthouse just to have a relaxing evening after a full week of work. He had to be in several places at once all over the city sometimes, in the end he hired more and more people on his team and sent Rico and Harry out
The biggest party of the century started at Everglow hall in the highest suburban area of Landville.All the elites who had lost their assets took this party as an opportunity to socialize and build stronger connections so they could regain their former glory.They might no longer have assets, but they still had the name they associated with power in the city. The Everglow hall was soon packed with elites who arrived on invite."Boss, the party is ready. Everyone who was invited has arrived." Daniel called Peter over the phone."I'm on my way." Peter replied succinctly before hanging up the call. "Welcome everyone to this amazing party. Tonight we celebrate the acquisition and accumulation of assets by a very important figure in this city. Since everyone present is a residence of this city, I'm sure you all know who I'm referring to. These assets have all been bought by the masked tycoon, he is the new owner of this city as such his status amongst everyone else is higher. I hope you
Stacie was in a very desperate state.Her sudden emergence from the crowd had stunned everyone into murmured gasps, the words she said spurring their attention.Someone suddenly seemed to have realized something as they yelled out, "Isn't she the girl who attempted to kill herself for the nation's husband?" "Yeah, it must be her!"Everyone's gazes turned to Peter.As this city's most important person at the moment, they didn't dare say anything bad about him, however looks could tell what the mouth dared not speak.Most people wouldn't willingly watch an injustice happen to a young woman right before their eyes.Looking at Stacie she was a young and very beautiful girl, however her eyes looked hollow as if she hadn't even gotten to sleep at all for days.Her state looked completely miserable as if she'd spent days pining for someone.Everyone immediately felt sorry for her. Peter raised how eyebrow as he glanced at her. "What did you say just now?" He asked calmly.Stacie looked at
The young woman who had just arrived was Katie Halton.When Amanda had gone around trying to convince everyone in class to side with Stacie's story, only Katie left without even giving her a listening ear.Peter had contacted Katie as his witness to show the world that Stacie was nothing but a liar.Katie walked up the stage holding up her skirt."Everyone, this is one of my classmates, Miss Katie Halton and one of the witnesses of my former relationship with Miss Stacie. I brought Katie here to help clear everything up." Peter gestured to Katie who nodded without any hesitation and stepped towards the mic."Stacie Williams, aren't you the most black bellied woman to ever exist on earth? How can you shamelessly speed these lies, if Peter were to marry you after all these lies, do you even think you could be happy with him?" Katie directed her words to Stacie, she felt incredibly upset about what Stacie was doing."Everyone I'd like you all to know the truth. Stacie broke up with Pete
Peter knew Stacie already came prepared, he was quite interested to see what else she had in store for this big plan of hers."Mr. Crox, please don't insult this innocent lady anymore, you've already done enough to cause her pain. If you really want proof, then I'll show you the proof that she's really pregnant."The woman who had stepped out of the crowd faced Peter."My name is doctor Gina Edwards, here's my ID for everyone can confirm. I didn't expect to see Stacie at this party tonight, at first I didn't want to interfere since we only have a doctor patient relationship however I'm a woman, I can't watch another woman in trouble. This man has to take responsibility for her and her child,"As for proof of her pregnancy, luckily I have a backup file on my phone containing all of my patients records."The woman took out her phone and scrolled for several minutes before she raised her head again, "Here's Miss Williams record that clearly shows that she is pregnant. Mr Crox, do you dar
