2024-08-03 17:02:51The confidence surging through Alex was something entirely new—a heady, intoxicating feeling that filled him with a sense of purpose and certainty. With his father’s memories now intertwined with his own, he knew exactly where to go to claim his birthright.
“Summit National Bank,” Alex muttered to himself as he shrugged on his jacket. He could hardly believe that he was about to step into a world that had been beyond his reach until now.
For centuries, Summit National Bank had been the exclusive domain of the country’s elite—a fortress of wealth and power. This wasn’t just a bank; it was a symbol, a gatekeeper for those whose influence stretched far beyond mere money. To even have an account there meant more than being rich; it meant belonging to a different world. But now, Alex knew—an account had been created for him at this very bank.
Stepping out of the taxi, Alex paused to take in the grand facade of the bank. Its towering pillars and ornate architecture were imposing, almost intimidating. But Alex wasn’t the same person he had been just days ago. He squared his shoulders and strode towards the entrance, but before he could enter, a burly security guard stepped in his way.
“I’m afraid you cannot enter, sir,” the guard stated firmly, his posture rigid and his gaze as hard as steel. He didn’t even bother to hide his disdain as he looked Alex up and down.
Alex didn’t flinch. He knew exactly what the guard was thinking—a man dressed as shabbily as him couldn’t possibly belong in a place like this. But Alex’s confidence was unshakable. He had seen too much and learned too much to be deterred by a mere obstacle like this.
“I understand you’re doing your job,” Alex replied calmly, his voice steady, “but I need to go inside to claim my inheritance.”
The guard hesitated, thrown off by Alex’s unwavering tone. He blinked, as if reconsidering his initial judgment. Perhaps this wasn’t just some random vagrant trying to bluff his way inside.
“A person like you cannot possibly have an inheritance in this bank,” the guard insisted, though his voice had lost some of its edge. “Please leave the premises now, or I’ll be forced to call the police for trespassing.”
But Alex didn’t budge. He simply smiled—a calm, knowing smile that seemed to unsettle the guard even further.
“I need to speak to your boss. Please get me your boss,” Alex said, his confidence cutting through the tension like a knife.
The guard’s face was twisted with anger. How dare this nobody demand to see his boss? But before he could respond, he noticed something unusual—this young man wasn’t intimidated in the slightest. There was something about him that was different.
“That’s it; I’m calling the police,” the guard snapped, his patience snapping as he reached into his pocket. “You’ll regret wasting my time. You’ll be in a cell by the end of the day.”
The guard pulled out his phone and began dialing, his eyes never leaving Alex. But before he could press the phone to his ear, a voice interrupted them.
“What seems to be the problem here?” A man in a crisp suit emerged from the bank, his presence commanding instant respect. The guard froze, his hand hovering over his phone, caught off guard by the newcomer.
Alex recognized him immediately. The way the guard stiffened and responded with deference told him all he needed to know—this was the man in charge.
“Sir, this man claims to have an inheritance here,” the guard said, his voice suddenly meek. “He insists on seeing you, but I was about to call the police. He’s trespassing.”
The man in the suit—clearly the bank manager—looked Alex over, his expression curious rather than dismissive. There was something about this young man’s demeanor that intrigued him—something that didn’t fit with his appearance.
“Good day, sir. I would like to speak with the bank manager,” Alex said confidently, meeting the man’s gaze with unwavering assurance.
“I am Nathaniel Sterling, the bank manager,” the man replied, his voice measured, but there was a note of curiosity in his tone. “You claim to have an inheritance, but I’m afraid you might not be aware of what this bank is. Summit National Bank is for: ”
“The wealthy class only,” Alex interrupted, knowing exactly where the manager was heading. “I must be mistaken if I think I have an inheritance here, right? If I have any inheritance at all, it must be in a bank for the common class, not a premium account like the ones you handle.”
Nathaniel Sterling’s eyes narrowed slightly, but before he could respond, Alex dropped the bombshell.
“I am Alex Carter, son of Sebastian Carter. The heir of the Sebastian Southlake Corporation.”
The effect was immediate. Nathaniel Sterling’s face was drained of color, his eyes widening in shock. He looked as if Alex had just struck him with a physical blow.
“The son of Sebastian Carter? The heir of the Sebastian Southlake Corporation?” Nathaniel repeated, his voice quivering with disbelief.
It was as though the ground had shifted beneath him. This wasn’t just some audacious young man making outrageous claims—this was the heir to one of the most powerful empires in the country standing before him.

This is my inheritance.” Alex murmured, still in shock, struggling to comprehend the magnitude of what he was seeing.Mr. Sterling, the bank manager, was equally stunned.

A young man, dressed in shabby clothes, was struggling against two security guards. The situation looked precarious, and Jake's heart raced as he assessed the potential threat. The young man’s appearance suggested he might be a street thug or a common thief, posing a risk to the corporation’s property.“What’s going on here?” Jake's voice cut through the lobby with authority as he turned his piercing gaze towards the secretary.The secretary quickly pointed a finger at Alex. “This man asked to see Madam Ava, sir.”Jake’s eyes narrowed as he looked at the young man. “And why does he want to see Madam Ava?”“I don’t know, sir,” the secretary replied, her tone dismissive. “But he doesn’t seem important. He’s probably here to steal something.”Jake nodded in agreement. Recently, Madam Ava had reported an attempted break-in by some rough-looking ind

Unlike the previous days, Alex approached the school gate with a sense of confidence. He wasn’t scared; in fact, he felt a strange sense of satisfaction as he walked through it.As he entered, he noticed that no news of him being bullied or stabbed had spread around the school. The students who had witnessed the incident went about their day as if nothing had happened, mostly staring at him strangely. It was clear that they hadn’t expected him to be in such good shape.Alex smirked. “Such is life for the poor,” he thought, continuing his slow walk toward the school building. Each passing student eyed him with a mix of surprise and curiosity, but he remained unfazed.He knew that if the situation had involved a wealthier student, the school authorities and possibly even the police would have been involved by now. The student who had stabbed him would likely be facing expulsion. But with no money and no family to advocate for him, his case was easily ignored, especially with someone lik

In the classroom, Alex had always chosen to sit at the back. It wasn’t that he couldn’t sit in the front or the middle, but the last time he did, he was severely mocked. Since then, he has relegated himself to the rear of the room.Today was different. Bolstered by his newfound confidence, Alex felt that even if he faced ridicule from now until next year, he would remain unfazed. So, he boldly chose a seat in the front row, directly across from where Janet and Noah sat.Previously, Alex had never participated actively in class. Not that he wasn’t capable—he was a bright student—but he feared that answering questions would only lead to more mockery. But today marked a turning point.

Hearing Anastasia’s words, Noah’s smirk widened. “I always suspected there was something off about her when she defended the so-called good-for-nothing. Hahaha!” he laughed maniacally, clearly amused by the turn of events.“And what if he loses?” His smirk remained as persistent as ever.Alex immediately grasped Noah’s game and sought to give Anastasia an out. “Anastasia, you don’t have to—”Before Alex could finish, Anastasia cut him off, her voice resolute but strained. “Fine! If he loses, then I’ll date you, and he’ll never have to see me again.”The stakes seemed absurd to Alex, but he was confident in his abilities. Still, he stole a glance at Janet.Janet’s face showed clear shock. Despite her relationship with Noah, she was visibly taken aback by his audacity to challenge Alex and potentially date someone else.

A bizarre, almost triumphant smirk spread across his face. “I’ll be waiting for you at the same place where you got beaten to a pulp last time.”Alex’s response was a calm smirk of his own. He didn’t rise to Noah’s taunt. Inside, he felt a surge of satisfaction, knowing it was time for Noah to face a serious lesson.“Shall we?” Anastasia said to Alex, her voice filled with resolve. They walked out of the classroom hand-in-hand, their unity evident. As they exited the school grounds, they saw Noah waiting for them, his posture radiating arrogance.Noah’s followers were strategically placed, blocking Alex’s path as he approached. Alex could see his prediction unfolding; as he walked past one of Noah’s followers, they moved to block him, pushing him forward, effectively sealing off any chance of escape.“But who’s trying to escape?” Alex thought to himself.

"I killed my ally, Your Honor," Paul declared, and everyone’s jaw dropped to the ground. The courtroom fell into a stunned silence. It was rare — almost unheard of — for anyone to confess to something so grave, so openly.Not only had this criminal admitted to being hired by another senator to set up the Senate President, but now he had confessed to murder as well?Alaric, the presiding judge, leaned forward slightly, intrigued. "And why did you kill him or her?" he asked. He gazed more intently at Paul, sensing that this case had taken a darker, unexpected twist. With every word Paul uttered, the courtroom edged closer to disbelief.As someone known for his unshakable sense of justice, Alaric had built a reputation for ensuring murderers never walked free. To him, anyone who committed murder was a murderer — no excuses, no exceptions. And now, not only had this man admitted to murder, but also to framing the Senate President.

Chapter 0223 Alex Exposed The Truth
“My lord, I am afraid that these ruling and prosecuting Senate President Morries is not needed because he is the victim here,” Alex declared. Everyone in the court immediately turned to each other, their faces painted with expressions of shock and disbelief.“What do you mean, Mr. President?” Alaric asked. He furrowed his brows, his interest suddenly piqued by the gravity of Alex’s words.Deep down within himself, Alaric knew Morries to be a man of impeccable reputation. It had always been difficult to reconcile the allegations with the man he had known. How would a man of such good reputation commit an act so vile and politically suicidal? But then again, how could he vindicate Morries when all the existing evidence pointed directly at him?“Please go ahead and buttress your point, Mr. President,” Alaric said, now gazing steadily at Alex. He was genuinely curious. If, by any means, Alex’s argument could truly vindicate Morries, then he was ready to defend him—even if that meant switc
Chapter 0222 Chief Justice Raised Concern
Chief Justice Alaric Vennor had been studying the video they sent to him of Morries for days now.Though he knew Morries couldn’t be a person like this, he had to put his understanding of him aside and do his job without emotions.The video was clear and bold enough. It was Morries’ face in the video. And so, therefore, he must now take action.Initially, he considered calling Morries on the side and asking him personally about this. But doing that was already adding emotions—and this was against the oath he swore to justice when he assumed the position of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Velmoria.So, without hesitation, he followed due process. He summoned the court and invited Morries on the order of the court, just as it should be—irrespective of the person involved.Meanwhile, Morries received his court invitation. He frowned as he opened the letter and read it.At that moment, it felt like he didn’t know what was happening any longer. Was it really him the Supreme Court had

Robert sat down with one butt on the metal table. He didn’t mind his pants getting stained with the blood on the table. Everything he cared about was to show Paul how firm he was, how he was in control, and how Paul must start talking now. This was no time for hesitation.Paul still shook in pain. The torment he had endured was already enough to break an average man. Nevertheless, he knew he couldn’t help it but confess now. The man interrogating him was nothing but a devil incarnated—someone who didn’t care about rules or morals, only about extracting the information he came for.“Delilah is dead, okay?!”“I know because I killed her!”“I fucking killed her because we got payment for the job, and I didn’t want to share the money.”Robert shook his head positively to what Paul said. He had suspected all along that Paul had killed Delilah, and now, with this confession, his suspicion was confirmed. But Robert hadn’t just needed a hunch—he needed Paul to say it.

“I didn’t do anything wrong!” Paul protested. His voice was lower now—strained and desperate. Even in the other room, Snowman smirked as he dipped his hand into his pocket and brought out a cigar.He lit it slowly, taking a drag with casual amusement. Did Paul really think they were fools? That they would arrest someone without already having concrete intel on him?Inside the room, Robert mirrored that same smirk.“You did nothing wrong, huh?” he said mockingly, arms crossed as he leaned slightly forward.Paul didn’t respond. He only locked eyes with Robert, trying not to show weakness.“Since you did nothing wrong,” Robert continued, pacing a bit, “then I suppose the prostitute you were with a few days ago—parading yourselves as senators from Norway Bradad—must have done something wrong all by herself, right?”“You’re not involved in anything... right?”Paul’s heart dropped instantly. Just the mention of Delilah in such a subtle but calculated way sent a cold wave through his spine.
Chapter 0219 Langford Reaction
As Paul was taken to the White House, the news had already begun to spread like wildfire among the senators of Velmoria. Grayson had already gisted a few, and those few quickly passed it on to the others. Within hours, all of them had heard.Back at the Senate chambers, Langford turned his gaze to the side, pretending to be unaffected. His heart raced, but his face remained calm. He couldn’t afford to show any emotion—not in front of the person who had informed him about Paul’s arrest. That person could never know that Langford himself had been part of the conspiracy.Quietly, he shifted his gaze toward Richard, who, almost instinctively, turned to look at him too. Deep down, they both knew what they had done. And now, both silently wondered if their actions were going to backfire.Would Paul expose them to the White House? Was their secret about to unravel?Later that evening, Victor Langford and Richard arrived at Victor’s home. They held glasses of wine in their hands and sat facin
Chapter 0218 To The Presidency
Snowman had worn a boot that easily concealed everything he had to carry to do his job well done. And even when he pulled out the cuff from his boot, he had not felt as if he was carrying a weight in his boot before. The design was impeccable—slim, secure, and reliable. It was one of those tools he never left behind. He had worn it for years, like a silent partner that never failed him in the field.Right as he cuffed Paul, he pushed him into his sporty car and cuffed him to the rear seat restraint anchor so that while he drove, he would not be able to move or escape. The car's tinted windows shielded the scene from the outside world, ensuring that Paul’s brief attempts at resistance went unnoticed.Snowman knew this was only the beginning. The journey ahead was going to take unexpected turns, but his path was clear for now. Without wasting a second, he shifted gears and drove to the Senate building, determination etched into his expression. He had a task, and he never failed his missi
Chapter 0217 Snowman and The Ex Convict
After checking the last room and finding it empty, Snowman moved on without hesitation. He wasn’t tired. He wasn’t frustrated. This was his life—gritty, risky, full of close calls. He thrived in this chaos, and every locked door he opened brought him closer to the man he was after. His instincts told him he was getting warm.The building was such that it was not infested with CCTV cameras. The illegal vendors in the building had purposely not wanted the building to have it because if they did, what if the footage in the building leaked to the public at a later time?Leveraging this weakness, Snowman did the same for the second room, third room, until the tenth and until the twenty-fifth room and he was not caught.On the 26th room, which was obviously on another third floor of the building, Snowman did the same, however, this time,“Who the fuck is that?” nagged the vendor in the room.Snowman did not budge. He didn’t fright. This was his business, he was used to altercations like thi

Snowman slid into his sporty car. He hadn’t driven this car in a long time because he didn’t think the criminal he had single-handedly caught were worth it. But for this ex-convict, it was a definite thingy for him to use the car once again.This car, the one he customized from years back. The one that could speed faster than the average sporty car used in a car race. The one with four nitr installed in it?He pressed the start button of the car and heard it roared to life. The roar-ness of the car was what always gave him a thrill. He smiled.“Now, let's dance.” he said.As he said this, he put his gear into a reverse and accelerated backwards from the driveway.Judging from how long experienced the car itself was with Snowman, to enjoy driving the car well enough he made it a manual-handed car.Then he shifted the gear once he was out of the driveway. He pressed his left leg on the clutch and simultaneously pressed his leg on the acceleration as he removed his left from the clutch.
