Rise of Power: Return of The Pathetic Commoner Chapter 70: I'll Not Tolerate This The Next Time
“WHAT, MAN?” asked Harvey as he raised his eyebrow. “What mess?” Harvey, who was in a steamy session with the two girls he called onto a motel room, sat on the couch, naked. He commanded his whores to stop pleasuring him for a while as he wanted to give his full attention to what Bruce was going to say. ‘Bruce sounded serious,’ said Harvey at the back of his mind. ‘This is odd,’ he added as he chuckled lightly. “Aren’t you aware of the news?” Bruce asked on the other line— Confusion was evident on it. “If I do, would I ask you?” Harvey snorted as he looked and groaned at his fully erected member. Bruce just interrupted him from pounding those girls until they only moan for his name anymore. “The only mess I am in is with my lust— Oh shit.” Harvey has filled again with his dirty, naughty thoughts when Michelle— the host of the annual party earlier— kneeled in front of him and licked the tip of his cock, making him groan. Before his mind would get cluttered with his dirty thoughts
Rise of Power: Return of The Pathetic Commoner Chapter 71: The Second-Ranking Family
MEANWHILE, at the Wellington’s mansion, Francis and Benjamin Anderson, the eldest son of the Anderson Corporation, and would also be the next-in-line heir, sat on the couch as they held their beer mugs, sipping on it from time to time.They were having the time of their lives at Francis’ mini-bar, which serves as a place where they could be wasted altogether, and at the same time, a meeting place where they talk about their wicked plans and harsh gossip.“I should have been there, man!” Benjamin, who was still sober yet acted like he was drunk already, leaned on the couch as he grimaced. “I can’t believe I missed that remarkable moment at the party. Tch.”Benjamin grunted. No matter how many times he watched the CCTV camera where Bruce’s havoc could be seen, he knew that it would give him a different feeling if only he was watching the scene personally.“Stop complaining already. It’s done.” Francis shook his head and drank the remaining beer in his mug.It seems like the beer doesn’t

AS JAKE heard what Bruce had said, his remaining patience was pushed to its limits. He pulled Bruce in the collar, nearer than before, as he gritted his teeth. He wanted to punch his son until he understood what was happening and came back to his senses.“You imbecile, little man…” said Jake in a disappointed and low tone as his gaze turned onto the two bodyguards still holding him. “Bring him to my other room.”“Jake!”Nicole grunted as she was about to approach Jake so she could try persuading him, but when Jake gave her his intense, deadly look, she stopped moving. Her feet felt like it was frozen to the floor.“He’s our son…” Nicole reminded him in a weak tone, almost whispering. “I don’t know what you’ll do to him, but he’s our only son!”Jake didn’t speak. Nor the coldness in his eyes changed despite what she said.The bodyguards started to pull Bruce, who didn’t fight back anymore, to the second floor. His forehead was sweating, the same as his palms. He knew what might happ

THE MOMENT Bruce went out of the room with Trance supporting him, Nicole suddenly stood up as she was waiting for her son. She didn’t even pay attention to Jake earlier, even if he told her to come with him.In response, Jake even kicked on the wall as he walked towards his office with his hands clenched in irritation.Samantha was with Nicole as she couldn’t help but worry about Bruce. Nicole tried to push her away earlier, but she didn’t even budge. She believes that it’s her right to worry as she was Bruce’s future wife.“Bruce!” called Nicole with worry. That emotion also became evident on her face as she stared at her son, looking pitiful and weak. Nicole immediately went to Bruce, and the first thing she noticed was the sweat covering his whole body, and it even soaked the suit he was wearing.Her gaze flickered from different parts of Bruce’s body, and sighed in relief as she noticed that there were no wounds on his body, but he was trembling so badly. She could feel it as Bru

“ARE YOU ready, August?” asked Sapphire as she was standing in front of the large vertical mirror. Staring at her reflection, she adored herself, wore a red shirt with a white button in the middle, and a red pencil skirt, partnered with red stilettos that always make a sound every time she walked. “I am,” August answered as he wore a simple black shirt with long sleeves, and pants partnered with black leather shoes. “I prepared myself so I would not disappoint father.” “As you should,” answered Sapphire as she let out a chuckle. Unlike Sapphire, who was already known by everyone as a part of the Remington family, August couldn’t wear an expensive suit as it would definitely blow his cover. No one would believe that he already became instant rich just by working for the Remington Corporation, anyway. After Charles scolded him before as he immediately knew that it was August on the video, Charles had him grounded in the house. He learned everything about the Remington Corporation in
Rise of Power: Return of The Pathetic Commoner Chapter 75: At Will
“SIR.” August, as soon as he got back to his senses, immediately stood up and extended his hand to the old man. “It was nice to meet you here.”The man in front of him was no other than Jake Sandoval— Someone he didn’t expect to meet, especially to approach him, in his lifetime.He was wearing a black business suit, making August have the conclusion that he had just come out from a business meeting.“I can say the same thing,” said Jake as he took August’s hand, and shook their hands together.August smiled, but lightly grimaced as he felt a sudden pain on his hand when Jake gripped it tighter than usual like he was trying to intimidate him at this moment.At this point, he was glad that Jake had the same aura as Charles, so he wasn’t that nervous.Or at least, it doesn’t show for now.“Can I sit here?” Jake asked again as he pointed at the vacant seat in front of August. “I also wanted to ask you about something.”Jake’s voice wasn't that loud, but his words thundered onto August’s h
Rise of Power: Return of The Pathetic Commoner Chapter 76: Resemblance
AS AUGUST went back to the Remington Corporation, specifically to the CEO's office where he works, he couldn't help but feel the rapid heartbeat in his chest. It was insane, and he didn’t think it would stop for a while now.He breathed heavily as both his hands landed on the table, while his head was directed downward. Dealing with Jake Sandoval was no joke. With that fierce look in his eyes during his departure, August knew that this would not be the end of everything.Rather, it's a start of a bigger mess he didn’t sign up for.“Fuck. Where did I get the guts to do that?” August asked himself as he sat on the working chair and made it turn repeatedly, hoping that the dizziness would calm down his nerves.However, as he remembered how Jake looked at him like he was humiliated, August couldn't help but feel proud of himself. He stepped his feet on the floor to stop the chair from turning.At least, he wasn't as pathetic as before. He isn't easily deceived. He knew how to fight for

OF COURSE, Myra wouldn’t go into a war without having the proper knowledge and guns to use. She knew August Fordman was— even from the start.As she watched the viral video about August, Bruce, and Samantha, she didn’t hesitate to believe August’s claims.Maybe the first reason was that she had a deep hatred for Samantha for so long, but the second reason is that… she knew Samantha’s desire more than anyone.If Samantha, her sister, abandoned August to be with Bruce, she won’t be shocked. Samnatha’s desire to live in luxury made her a bad person. She abandoned the Evergreen family for the sake of her dreams.“Sister?” August asked. His head tilted to the side in confusion.He got weirded out as every second passed. Samantha told him before that she was an only child. She also told him that she was working hard because of her family. That’s also the reason why he fell in love with Samantha— but it turned out to be a lie.He breathed heavily as the familiar pang of pain traveled onto hi

TWO YEARS LATER…The waves on the water splash on the yacht where August was standing right now. Both his hands were holding onto the rail as his gaze fixated on the sunset in front of him. It was beautiful, ethereal, and breathtaking… Just like the woman who was walking toward him.“August,” Daphne called her as she gave her husband a fruit shake. “You’ve been there for an hour already. Would you want to spend this day with fish than me?” she asked, pretending to be pissed as her lips curved into a smile.“No need to be jealous of nature, my dear wife. I just want to appreciate how beautiful the sunset was.”August laughed, pulling Daphne gently closer to him using his other hand. Now, both of them were staring at the sunset with genuine smiles plastered onto their faces. August’s hand was resting on Daphne’s waist, while the latter had her head leaned on her husband’s shoulder.A year ago, both of them got remarried, for real this time. At that moment, both of them couldn’t help bu

Chapter 244: Where The Game Ends
COUPLE DAYS later, August was able to heal from the beating he had endured when Raquel took him down. He was now as good as hell, and he could now work tirelessly to catch up with all of the deadlines and meetings he had neglected while he was at rest. Fortunately, the press, with a lot of help from Daphne, didn’t know a thing about what happened to August, or else he would be bombarded by the press in front of the Remington Corporation. However, it would not be for long, as something grand would happen now. August had been waiting for this day—The day when the final showdown begins. This day had come down to this moment, where the tables would turn, and justice would finally be served. This time, August made sure that Francis would not be able to run away from his crimes, nor frame someone up to escape from it. Inside August’s office, all of his allies, Daphne, Sapphire, and Maxine, were inside the room. The air was thick with tension as they were looking at the wall clock from ti

RAQUEL, at that moment, was too stunned to speak. Shivers sent down his spine as the unexpected news lingered in his mind. His shoulder was aching because of the pain, but suddenly, it became numb as the pain struck his heart.“W-What?” Raquel asked, blinking his eyes twice. “Are you… fooling me?”“No… It’s the truth.” Sapphire shook her head, the pain registering through her rounded, brown eyes. “We’re Maxine’s children—Her lost twins.”“But how?” Raquel’s brows furrowed in confusion and annoyance at the same time. “If she is my brother, and you’re my twin, and you knew everything about it… Then why didn’t you approach me?”“Maxine only knew it recently, the same as mine.” Sapphire heaved a sigh and bit her lower lip afterward to contain her emotions.After a few seconds, she spoke again.“August informed me recently by giving the birth certificates Master Charles hid in his cabinet. It turns out that Maxine didn’t want to know us at that time because of the complexity of her job… Sh

Chapter 242: Hidden Truth
AUGUST WAS in a daze when he woke up from his not-so-peaceful slumber. He didn’t wake up naturally, but he woke up when someone poured him cold water placed in a bucket, causing August to jolt in shock… Only to realize that he was tied to the chair.Same situation. Same abandoned room.Shivers sent down his spine because of the uncanny coincidence both of the situations had.‘Fucking shit. This is déjà vu,’ said August at the back of his mind when he realized that this is where everything started—When Charles had his people take him so he could have a one-on-one talk with August about being a pretend heir.However, the only difference between the event before and now, is that the person in front of him looked like he was eager to kill him in an instant, but he was just taking his time to do it.“R-Raquel…” August mumbled, slightly stammering, as his gaze fixated on Raquel.“How’s your sleep, August?” Raquel threw the silver bucket on the floor in force while wearing his most sardonic

Chapter 241: Be Careful Who You Trust
[RICHARD WELLINGTON]August blinked his eyes twice, trying to confirm if what he was reading on the paper was true, or if his eyes were just playing with him. However, a few seconds had passed, and he still read the same name.“H-How…” August was at a loss for words. It wasn’t something that he expected. He almost thought that it was Francis, but turns out that the lead scientist is Richard, the Wellington family’s original heir.“Are there—”“Greetings, Sir August.”August was about to ask the lead engineer if he found more documents other than the white folder he was holding now, but his words went midway as three cleaners who were wearing personal protective equipment suddenly bowed in front of him.“One of your employees called us to clean this room,” one of the cleaners said as she glanced at the mess August made earlier.“A-Ah. Right.”August only nodded at them, not knowing what to say. His mind was so shocked that he didn’t even notice his employees leaving him alone in the ro

TWO WEEKS LATER, the event about Bruce being confined to the Remington Mental Hospital scattered around the country. According to the doctors, Bruce was diagnosed with Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and he would need long-term medication and treatment to heal.While some people sympathized with Bruce for it, some people say that it was karma because of what he had done to August.However, August didn’t care what those people think about now. He had work—A bunch of them—And it was never-ending.It was already one o’clock in the morning as August had finished meeting with the different departments, and reviewing business proposals. He wasn’t eating his lunch yet but he was determined to finish everything first. August wanted to have free time so he could take care of his other business that he neglected because the work became surprisingly overwhelming.“Maxine…” August called, causing Maxine, who was sitting on the couch, to look at him. “Do I still have any urgent matters

Chapter 239: The Salvation He Needed
“MR. JAKE SANDOVAL, the head of the Sandoval family, was arrested for torture against his son, Bruce Sandoval. The police said that they were investigating thoroughly about this matter and that they will preserve results with fairness and no biases—”Before the reporter could finish her sentence, August already took the remote and turned the television. Daphne, who was immersed in watching the news, jolted in shock as she turned around, only to see August smiling at her.“I’m home,” said August in a sweet tone as he extended both his arms, asking for a hug.Daphne couldn’t help but laugh a little. She went toward August and wrapped him in her embrace. “How was it? What happened to Samantha?” she asked in curiosity.“I think Samantha and Bruce divorced… But I’m not yet sure.” August caressed Daphne’s hair lightly and gently pushed her head more onto his chest. “Stop watching the news, okay? It’s already enough that you know anything, but don’t think about it too much.”Daphne only nodd

“WHERE DID you go? Why do you look like shit?” Nicole asked as Bruce went inside the room, all his clothes were soaked because of the rain. “Take a bath first before you go to the dining table. You know that your father didn’t like seeing you like that,” she added, shaking her head. “Yes, Mother.” Bruce nodded as he was tired to explain everything. He went to the bathroom to fix himself. Bruce wore a simple white shirt and sweatpants before he went to the dining table, joining Nicole and Jake for their late dinner. Samantha was already out of the picture as his parents were also informed of what she did earlier. However, they weren’t aware that Bruce felt hurt because of the same reason. “Did you chase that bitch away?” Jake asked while they were eating. “Y-Yes, Father.” “That’s good,” Jake commented, and Bruce only smiled subtly in response. Bruce ate his steak, but because of his stomach churning and his heart thumping rapidly, he felt like that piece of steak was hard to sw

Chapter 237: Divorce
SHE IS the most stupid person in the world, and she knows it. Samantha couldn’t help but look at August in disbelief, the pain and betrayal registering upon her facial expression.“August… You can’t do this to me…” Samantha mumbled as her knees went wobbly. If not only for the table in front of her, she might be sitting on the floor now. “This isn’t what we have talked about…”“I know,” August said, and Samantha didn’t notice that he was just done talking to someone on the phone. “That’s why it is called betrayal. It’s painful, especially when you’re feeling desperate.”“How can you do this to me? I am your girlfriend!” Samantha exclaimed, gritting her teeth and clenching her jaw.“Ex-girlfriend, Samantha,” August corrected before he heaved a sigh. “Our relationship was over years ago.”As if on cue, two guards entered August’s office and took Samantha away, just like what he did yesterday. He could even hear Samantha cursing and begging him at the same time before the guard closed th
