Gibson and The ArtWeave had achieved an unprecedented level of recognition for their innovative projects, but with fame came challenges they never could have anticipated. The growing attention attracted not only admirers but also critics, and as their projects gained momentum, they found themselves facing backlash from traditionalists who questioned the validity of their unconventional approach to art.Among these critics was the renowned art critic, Eleanor Blackwood, known for her scathing reviews and staunch resistance to change. She viewed The ArtWeave's work as nothing more than a fleeting trend, dismissing their projects as "gimmicks" and "publicity stunts."Eleanor's negative commentary triggered a wave of doubt within the group. As they worked tirelessly on their latest project, a massive art installation aimed at raising awareness about climate change, they couldn't shake off Eleanor's words.One evening, as they gathered at their studio to discuss the project's progress, ten

Their collaborative efforts had solidified their place as a formidable force for positive change, and their story had become an inspiration to many around the world.Their reputation attracted the attention of various influential figures, and one day, they received an unexpected invitation to an exclusive art gala hosted by the enigmatic billionaire, Nathaniel Sterling. Sterling was known for his vast art collection, which included some of the most coveted masterpieces in history.The invitation intrigued The ArtWeave, but it also raised suspicions. Gibson, Vanessa, Leo, Isabella, Amelia, and Julian gathered at their studio to discuss the offer."Something doesn't feel right about this," Vanessa said, her brow furrowed in concern. "Why would Sterling want us there?"Gibson nodded in agreement. "We need to approach this cautiously. Our intuition has guided us before, and we c
THE Dragon Billionaire Chapter 79: Going about it

The world had taken notice, and their reputation had grown exponentially.One day, a mysterious package arrived at their studio. Inside was a beautifully crafted puzzle box, accompanied by an enigmatic letter. The letter bore the signature of a figure known only as "The Puzzle Master." The contents of the box held a challenge that intrigued The ArtWeave."What do you think?" Isabella asked, holding up the puzzle box for everyone to see."It's certainly a curious invitation," Amelia noted, her eyes gleaming with excitement.With their curiosity piqued, they began to solve the puzzle, each piece fitting into place with the satisfaction of progress. As the last piece clicked into position, a hidden compartment opened to reveal a holographic message."Greetings, ArtWeave," a voice emanated from
THE Dragon Billionaire Chapter 80: Very Important
The dimly lit room was suffused with an air of tension. President Adams sat across from Gibson, his expression a mix of concern and curiosity. "Mr. Gibson, I must admit, I find your story quite intriguing. Please, tell me more about the events that transpired."Gibson leaned back in his chair, his gaze steady. "Mr. President, I appreciate your willingness to listen. It all began when I arrived at the hotel, seeking a room for the night. The receptionist took one look at my clothes and informed me that all the rooms were occupied."President Adams furrowed his brows. "That seems rather discriminatory. What was it about your appearance that led her to make such an assumption?"Gibson's lips curved into a wry smile. "Apparently, my attire didn't meet their standards of opulence. But as fate would have it, a fat man and a beautiful girl walked in shortly after. They, too, wanted a room, and the receptionist's demeanor changed instantly."The president's eyes narrowed. "A fat man and a bea
THE Dragon Billionaire Chapter 81: Security
The following day, Gibson found himself in a grand office within the hotel, seated across from President Adams. The atmosphere was charged with a sense of anticipation as they delved into the task at hand.President Adams clasped his hands together, his gaze fixed on Gibson. "Mr. Gibson, assembling a capable team for our security force is paramount. We need individuals who are not only skilled but also share our vision. How do you propose we go about the selection process?"Gibson leaned forward, his eyes focused. "I've given it some thought, Mr. President. We can start by reaching out to reputable law enforcement agencies in the city. Their officers are likely to have the necessary training and experience."The president nodded in agreement. "That's a solid starting point. But we should also consider individuals from different backgrounds—those who may not have formal law enforcement training but possess unique skills that can contribute to our mission."Gibson's lips curved into a t
THE Dragon Billionaire Chapter 82: Imaginary
The sun cast a warm glow as Gibson entered the hotel's expansive lobby the next morning. He could feel a mixture of excitement and anticipation building within him as he made his way to the designated meeting room.President Adams was already there, engrossed in his tablet. He looked up, a welcoming smile gracing his lips. "Good morning, Mr. Gibson. I trust you're ready to meet with Ms. Reyes?"Gibson nodded, a sense of purpose radiating from him. "Absolutely, Mr. President. I'm eager to discuss how her cybersecurity expertise can complement our vision for the security force."As the time approached for the meeting, there was a knock on the door. The woman who had been assisting them entered, her tablet in hand. "Mr. President, Mr. Gibson, Ms. Sarah Reyes has arrived."President Adams stood up, his demeanor professional yet approachable. "Thank you. Please show her in."The door opened, and a woman with a confident stride entered the room. Her eyes held a spark of curiosity as they fe

"Mr. Gibson, the results speak for themselves. Our approach is making a difference."Gibson nodded, his gaze sweeping over the data. "It's clear that our efforts are having a positive impact. Citizens are beginning to see us not just as enforcers of the law, but as allies in their pursuit of safety."President Adams' expression grew serious. "But we must remain vigilant. Our success is drawing attentio
THE Dragon Billionaire Chapter 84: Blessing in disguise
The city's transformation was becoming evident to everyone. The security force's approach of collaboration, empathy, and justice had not only reduced crime rates but had also fostered a sense of unity among citizens. The security force was no longer seen as an external entity but as an integral part of the community.One morning, Gibson found himself in a community center, surrounded by children who were engaged in various activities. He was there to lead a session on self-defense and safety awareness. As he demonstrated techniques, the children watched with awe and enthusiasm.A young boy approached Gibson, his eyes filled with curiosity. "Mr. Gibson, can you show me how to protect myself?"Gibson crouched down to the boy's level, his voice gentle. "Of course, I'd be happy to teach you some basic self-defense moves."As the session continued, Gibson's interactions with the children were filled with patience and encouragement. He not only taught them physical skills but also emphasize

Chapter 202: Jeopardy
Gibson sat beside his mother who came to drive him back from work. She was waiting for her husband when they got home from a long case which had taken up most of the afternoon. He’d finished at three and would be taking a nap. The day was hot but sunny, and he was glad that he didn’t have to stay in uniform. His dark brown suit and tie had seen better days, but he liked it well enough because it gave him a nice look, unlike other officers whose uniform made them feel like they were going to go postal. He felt relaxed as he sat in his truck with the AC blasting full blast. It was almost too hot out. Not that anything bad could happen to him, he knew there were a lot of things worse than being a policeman. In fact, the more dangerous jobs tended to fall into the hands of the very few people capable of doing the job right. They couldn’t afford someone else. That’s how it worked.His father worked undercover with some pretty scary looking characters. But that wasn’t unusual. People did
Chapter 201: Eyes Closed
‘If I had been faster maybe he would still be alive’“Why didn’t you tell me? Why didn’t you tell me that he’s part of this?” she asked angrily.He could feel his throat tightening again. He hadn't realised how badly he needed to talk to someone but he couldn’t bring himself to tell Abby the truth. The more he talked about what had happened the more convinced he became that he should tell her. She deserved to know the truth, no matter how painful and difficult it might be. And besides, it would probably help her work things out. It would probably help everyone if Abby knew the whole story. He sighed deeply, knowing it was going to hurt her but hoping she'd listen anyway."I didn't want to scare you" he admitted softly.She shook her head violently, getting angry
Chapter 200: Time always tells
“Hi Gibbs! Have you seen Joseph? I've tried to get hold of him but he is ignoring my call!” She exclaimed, hurrying toward him.Jacob simply rolled his eyes. “Noticed. He has been acting strangely lately.” He replied, staring at his cellphone.Abby shrugged slightly. “Maybe he got a call and forgot to reply?” She suggested, wondering why the younger agent hadn't answered her message, although that couldn't have been it. They were both supposed to meet up together today and he clearly had no idea.“That doesn't seem like it. He said something about meeting me here at seven and yet he didn’t show up until nearly six thirty and we left the FBI Building at five forty five” he explained.Abby thought about what Jacob had said and made a mental note to ask Tim a
Chapter 199: I have to tell you
Gibson left his office very early that night and decided to go out to dinner with a friend. It was something he always did when the day started to drag on and it was still relatively new for him. He wasn't used to working long hours and so he enjoyed being able to go out without any work in tow. Plus, his friend could be a bit of an eccentric and they had never gotten along too well but they also understood each other. And since his best friend was a journalist and his own editor, their friendship worked like a magnet.He went to his usual restaurant and picked a spot near the window because it looked out over a small garden. There were few people milling around outside and most lights inside were off. This made it easy for him to sit with his back against the wall and enjoy his meal before heading home. As he ate he saw two young ladies approach one another and start talking animatedly while giggling about whatever. He smiled to himself as he continued chewing, watching them with amu
Chapter 198: Surpassed it
Gibson's voice echoed through the office as he stared at his mother, a mix of surprise and confusion on his face. Colleagues turned to see what the commotion was about, creating an awkward silence. His mother, wearing a hesitant smile, approached him, breaking the tension in the air. "Surprise, dear. I thought I'd drop by and see where you spend your days," she said, trying to lighten the mood. Gibson, still processing the unexpected encounter, struggled to find words in the midst of the curious gazes around him.Gibson, still grappling with the shock, managed to stammer out a response, "I... What are you doing here, Mom? I didn't expect you to visit my workplace."His mother, a middle-aged woman with a warm demeanor, chuckled nervously. "Well, I wanted to surprise you, dear. Your father and I thought it would be nice to see where our hardworking son spends most of his time."Gibson's mind raced as he tried to comprehend the situation. He never imagined his mother would appear unannou
Chapter 197: Make a man
Gibson couldn’t feel his arms again as he had over used them at the his workplace earlier that day. He had tried to carry a huge amount of paperwork for his boss’s office when he had gotten home, but it had been too much, and had dropped everything. The paper had made little to no dent in his overall mass, so he’d put on a shirt to protect it from the cold of the night. When it started to rain while he was on his way back to the office, however, he had lost all hope of getting the papers back to his boss before the storm began. So here he was again. He sighed and walked around the corner of an apartment building with no door visible, trying to get some cover from the rain by leaning against one of its walls. It seemed like the right decision, however, as he could see that the entrance to the apartment building was only five feet away, so it was just about possible for him to get inside without the water being wet through. He pushed off from the wall and started walking towards the ent
Chapter 196: Wine is good
“I want to speak to Gibson,” the light skinned lady said sternly as she entered the office, her voice low and dangerous. It was not a question, it was an order, and the man at the desk knew better than to disobey it. He quickly picked up his phone and dialed Gibson’s number. The woman waited impatiently as he tried to connect the two calls, and when that failed, she turned to face him expectantly. Her face was hard and determined and made her eyes look darker than they normally would. She had dark circles under her eyes that made them seem bruised. Her lips were pressed tightly together, her hands clasped behind her back. She looked like someone who was about to get her way, which was probably true. She stood there looking intimidating until Gibson answered his cell, “Yes? Is everything alright?” His voice sounded worried and confused, and the woman felt a pang of guilt for scaring him with what she had been going to say earlier. “Hi Gibson, it’s me. I just... need a little help to
Chapter 194: Lazy Sections
Gibson read through the book he found on his office desk and grimaced at it. There was no reason to be upset about it, really, but he couldn’t help himself - he had been doing so well with this one! He had made a decent dent in his stack of files, he even had written half of what he needed for the article, which meant that he had to do something else soon! It wasn’t like him to let things drag out like this, but after last night - well, if there was anything that could get the better of him, it was stress, and stress sucked. He should have known better than to get distracted by that guy’s phone number, though! He didn’t deserve the chance, not when Gibson was just beginning to work his way up. But it was all gone now. He had forgotten the date, and he could barely remember any details from before he went home last night, and the only time he had remembered them was during the day. And then, well, then there were all those people who were still in his head - the ones who kept talking
Chapter 193: I’ll try and sing along
Gibson was forced to sing along at his business tea party. The woman he was with was a big fan and the song seemed appropriate enough that she started humming it loudly as they talked about her latest book. He couldn’t help but be envious of this person, this girl who knew so many interesting things and had such an exciting life, yet he was stuck here in the boring office of a company that made no money. He wasn’t complaining though - the pay sucked ass and being alone in the room with his boss all day was probably worse - but that didn’t mean he was happy about it. The woman continued to hum and sing, which annoyed him even more, and eventually she looked up and smiled when she realized what she was doing. “Oh, sorry! I keep singing! I do this sometimes to help myself think. I have trouble not singing if I can't talk to someone. It helps my brain to get away from reality.” She paused for a second, seemingly lost in thought before she shook herself out of it. “Sorry you have to list
