THE Dragon Billionaire Chapter 92: Dust
Amidst the swirling currents of change and unexpected connections, Gibson's thoughts turned to a chapter of his past that had long been untouched – his relationship with his parents. The city's transformation, his collaborations, and his newfound connections had unveiled layers of his own journey, leading him on a path of rediscovery.One afternoon, as the city bustled with activity, Gibson found himself standing before the door of his childhood home. It had been decades since he had set foot in this place, and his emotions were a mixture of anticipation and apprehension.With a deep breath, he pushed the door open and stepped into the familiar surroundings. The air was infused with nostalgia as memories of his childhood flooded back – laughter, arguments, and the warmth of family.As Gibson's eyes adjusted to the interior, he spotted a figure in the doorway – his mother, Evelyn. Her eyes widened in surprise, a mix of disbelief and joy as she gazed upon her long-lost son."Gibson? Is
THE Dragon Billionaire Chapter 93: Unresolved
Gibson sat at the elegant mahogany table, his ex-wives Cynthia and Lina seated across from him. The room exuded an air of tension, the atmosphere thick with unspoken emotions. His gaze was fixed on the intricate patterns of the tablecloth, his posture betraying the heaviness that seemed to weigh down his very soul. The sunlight filtering through the grand windows cast intricate shadows on the opulent furnishings, but Gibson's eyes remained cast downward, his expression a mixture of sadness and introspection.Beside him stood his mother, Evelyn, a woman of quiet strength who had weathered her share of storms. Her presence was a comforting touch, her hand resting gently on Gibson's shoulder, fingers moving in a soothing rhythm. It was a gesture that harkened back to his childhood, a time when her touch had the power to dispel fears and chase away nightmares. Now, her touch was a lifeline, a reminder that she was there to support him, even in the midst of the complex and strained reunion
THE Dragon Billionaire Chapter 94: Years After
The receptionist, visibly nervous now, stammered out an apology. "I... I didn't realize, sir. I made a mistake.""Mistakes can have consequences," President Adams replied calmly. "It's important to treat all guests with respect, regardless of their appearance. Remember that."Turning back to Gibson, President Adams' tone softened. "I apologize for this unfortunate incident. I assure you, we value all our guests equally. Allow me to make it right. You're my guest tonight."Gibson was taken aback by the unexpected turn of events. He nodded, grateful for the president's intervention. "Thank you, sir."As Gibson was escorted to a lavish suite, he couldn't help but wonder about President Adams' involvement. Why had the president personally intervened in his situation? He felt that there was more to this man than met the eye, something beneath the surface that he was yet to uncover.---The suite was opulent, adorned with elegant furnishings and a breathtaking view of the city's skyline. Gi
THE Dragon Billionaire Chapter 95: Restless
Chapter 17Weeks had passed since that tense gathering at the grand table, where Gibson, Cynthia, Lina, and Evelyn had confronted their past and the precarious state of their business. The City of Glass had transformed, as did the dynamics between them. Gibson had spent sleepless nights contemplating a pivotal decision, one that would not only impact their professional trajectory but would also reveal a long-guarded secret.Amelia, Gibson's loyal confidant and trusted advisor, had been instrumental in this decision. She had watched as Gibson grappled with the weight of his past, and it was her unwavering support that finally gave him the courage to take action.One evening, as the sun cast a warm, golden hue over the city, Gibson sat down with Amelia in his penthouse office, the panoramic view of the skyline a testament to the empire he had built. He turned to her, determination etched in his features."Amelia, it's time to reveal the truth," he said, his voice resolute.Amelia raised
THE Dragon Billionaire Chapter 96: Exhausting
As Gibson sat in his penthouse, a voice from the past echoed in his mind. It was Lina's, sharp and biting as ever, from a conversation they'd had just before their divorce."Lina, you have to understand," Gibson had pleaded, his eyes filled with exhaustion from years of trying to balance his work and their marriage. "I'm doing this for us. For our future."Lina, draped in a designer gown, had rolled her eyes. "Our future? Gibson, you've been saying that for years. All I see is you buried in your work while I'm stuck here alone."Gibson had sighed deeply, knowing that their marriage was hanging by a thread. "I promise, once this project is done, once the business stabilizes, I'll make it up to you. We'll travel, spend time together—whatever you want."But Lina had shaken her head, a bitter smile on her face. "You've been saying that for years too. I'm tired of waiting, Gibson. I want a life of my own, not one defined by your ambitions."Back in the present, Gibson's thoughts were inter
THE Dragon Billionaire Chapter 97: Green light.
Gibson's journey of redemption continued, and as he and Cynthia reconnected, they found solace in their shared commitment to making the world a better place. The gala event had been a turning point, rekindling a friendship that had once been buried under the weight of their past.As the weeks turned into months, Gibson's partnership with Charles on their revolutionary technology project thrived. Their team worked tirelessly to bring the innovation to life, overcoming obstacles and pushing the boundaries of what was possible. The technology, known as QuantumNet, promised to revolutionize communication, offering unprecedented speed and security.One day, during a heated discussion with the project's lead engineer, Angela, Gibson couldn't help but reflect on how far he'd come since the downfall of GibsonTech.Angela, a brilliant but fiercely independent woman, had initially been skeptical about working with Gibson. "You know," she said, her tone sharp, "I heard about your past, about wha
THE Dragon Billionaire Chapter 98: Game over
Lina's voice oozed with calculated cunning as she replied, "What's in it for me? Let's just say I have a few debts that need settling, and this information could make them disappear. Plus, I'd love to see Gibson crash and burn. It's a win-win for both of us."The shadowy contact contemplated Lina's proposition for a moment longer before finally responding, "Fine, Lina. Give me the details. We'll discuss how we proceed from here."Lina smiled triumphantly, knowing that she had just taken a dangerous step into the world of corporate espionage. "I'll send you everything you need," she said. "But remember, you owe me, and I expect results."With that, she ended the call, feeling a mix of excitement and trepidation. She had just set in motion a plan that could potentially unravel all of Gibson's hard-earned progress on QuantumNet.Back at the QuantumNet office, Gibson, Charles, and Elena were poring over the evidence of corporate espionage that Elena had brought. The documents and emails p
THE Dragon Billionaire Chapter 99: Off Season
Gibson's mind raced as he weighed the options presented by Lina. It was a perilous choice - give in to her blackmail and potentially sacrifice QuantumNet's future, or stand firm and risk the safety of Charles, their key to exposing the rival tech company's corporate espionage.Elena, her eyes filled with defiance, spoke up. "Lina, you can't possibly expect us to agree to your demands. We won't let you destroy what we've worked so hard to build."Lina's laughter filled the dimly lit warehouse. "Oh, Elena, you're as predictable as ever. But remember, I hold the evidence that can make or break your precious project. You don't have much of a choice."Gibson, his jaw clenched, decided to negotiate. "Lina, we'll consider your offer, but first, we need proof that Charles is safe. We won't make any decisions until we know he's unharmed."Lina nodded, her expression calculating. "Fair enough. I'll take you to him, but don't think about trying anything funny."As they left the warehouse, the te

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
