The Wilson family matriarch's threat to destroy Nissan Corporation sent shockwaves through the guests, leaving powerful guests visibly unsettled. Frowns appeared on their faces as they processed the gravity of her words.However, Jayson's reaction was quite different. He chuckled dismissively, not taking the threat seriously at all. To him, it seemed like nothing more than an empty bluff. "Hehehe, Grandma, you should choose your words more carefully. Many people here benefit greatly from Nissan Corporation. Not only does the company hold a fifty percent stake in Jade City's largest firms, but it also invests a staggering 200 million dollars in these businesses yearly. While the Wilson family may not fully understand the value of money, your guests certainly do," Jayson remarked, sporting a confident smile.The weight of Jayson's words hit the Wilson family matriarch like a ton of bricks. She looked around, suddenly feeling isolated. The realization dawned on her that if she were to fo
Elena found herself oblivious to her own mental and emotional state, blindsided by Gabby Willow's abrupt decision to sever ties with her family as soon as he sensed a threat from Jayson. It was a harsh awakening for her to realize that Gabby's love had been a facade all along, a ploy to safeguard his wealth. He had been using her, and his sudden suggestion of marriage coinciding with Hay Wilson's inclusion in the Eagle Sect was nothing more than a guarantee for his undisturbed dominance of his wealth in Jade City.With a heavy heart, Elena gazed up at the sky, overwhelmed by melancholy. After considerable contemplation, she pulled out her phone and dialled Jayson's number.Jayson's mind was consumed with deep thoughts when his phone suddenly began to ring. Glancing at the screen, he saw the caller's name and quickly retracted his gaze, letting out a rueful sigh.While Nissan Corporation remained free from any immediate threats, Jayson couldn't help but acknowledge that nobody would da
Jayson felt a wave of terror wash over him, nearly causing him to stumble backward. He hadn't even dealt with the Saint family yet, and now the Anderson family had entered the picture. The Wilsons' actions had only heightened his sense that the world was crumbling around him.His face contorted into a dark, charcoal-like expression as he glared at Elena, his teeth clenched tightly. The news of death threats was enough to unsettle anyone, and Jayson was no exception."Why are you telling me this, Elena?" Jayson managed to ask calmly, though his fists were clenched tightly as he struggled to control his racing heartbeat.Elena lowered her head, unsure of how to answer. She had overheard her uncles discussing something in her grandmother's ward and had hurriedly sought out Jayson to inform him."I don't know," Elena mumbled in response, avoiding eye contact with Jayson.Jayson hissed in anger. He hadn't even had a chance to exact revenge on the Wilson family, who had made his earlier lif
The old man behind the challenge desk glared at Jayson, his gaze filled with increasing anger. Through clenched teeth, he hissed, "Do you even realize that the Saint family is a heaven-ranked family?"Confused, Jayson stared back at the old man, oblivious to the meaning of a "heaven-ranked family." Wanting to understand, he inquired, "What exactly does 'heaven-ranked family' mean?"The old man's face grew even darker, and he scolded, "You don't even know how cultivators are ranked? Well, that's just great! As a mere mortal, you dare to challenge a force from a heaven-ranked family. If you're intent on committing suicide, there's a sea in Jade City, a river across Jade City called Diana's Bridge, or even a high-scraper. Take your pick and die, rather than infuriating me to death."Jayson was momentarily at a loss for words, unsure of how he had managed to provoke the elderly man seated behind the challenge desk. The old man's reaction caught him off guard, and he found himself staring
The words that escaped Grey's son's lips were astonishing; even though Old Wade and Grey wanted to believe, there was no logical basis for such nonsense. They knew Jayson too well. If he truly had money, wouldn't he have paid for his wife's bridal gifts instead of Elena covering the expenses?Grey reached out and firmly grasped his son's ear, giving it a slight twist before delivering a stern lecture. "Ever since we returned to our old house, you've been gallivanting around with those less fortunate girls. Let me make it clear: we will not allow you to marry any of them. You're a Wade; you should behave like a dragon. What do you mean Jayson is the owner of Nissan Corporation?"Having relied on the financial support of the Wilson family for the past three years, the Wade family was unable to perceive the truth about their own financial standing.Edward, Grey's son, winced in pain as he struggled to explain, his voice filled with a sense of injustice. "Dad, I'm not lying; Jayson really
Jayson stood his ground, his eyes fixed coldly on the bouncers. He knew that if he retreated now, suspicion would fall upon him. What he couldn't predict was how the bouncers would react under the circumstances. The bouncers, on the other hand, felt a chill run down their spines, fearing that their boss was displeased with their actions. Their boss had a reputation for ruthlessness, even resorting to violence for the slightest transgressions."We apologize, Boss. We didn't mean to impede you," one of the bouncers stammered nervously, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.Jayson, disguised as the notorious Tiger Gang boss, let out a cold snort. "See that it doesn't happen again," he commanded sternly.With his heart pounding and his palms drenched in sweat, Jayson took a deep breath and walked with purpose into the clubhouse. He possessed the memories of the person he had assumed the form of, granting him knowledge of the clubhouse layout. However, his greatest fear was encountering
Jayson in Boss Slay form scowled and let out a cold snort. "Pet, if I ask you to jump, you fucking jump; if I ask you to kill, you fucking kill without hesitation; I don't tolerate defiance and questioning from my pets like you; if you want to live long, you should do whatever I say without questioning me; you understand the fuck I just said?"Pet, devoid of emotion, met Jayson's gaze and replied calmly, "We will carry out your instructions, Boss. I will mobilize my men to deface the Wilson Corporation and launch immediate attacks on their jewellery outlets.""Good," Jayson said, giving Pet's shoulder a reassuring pat. He then turned and confidently strode out of the hidden room, his spirits lifted.Once Jayson had exited, another man stepped forward and stood beside Pet. "Don Pet, should we proceed with Boss Slay's plan to target the Wilson family? You know the police are still hostile towards our men."Hehehe, we're going to make it happen. But how can I take control of the gang if
Old Wade, who had been feeling elated just moments ago, was taken aback by Grey's words. His eyes widened, and the wrinkles that had momentarily vanished appeared in an exaggerated manner. With a mix of disbelief and concern, he exclaimed, "What nonsense are you talking about, Grey? How can Jayson, a coward, challenge the Saint-Young master to a duel?"Old Wade desperately hoped that Grey was merely spouting nonsense rather than speaking the truth. But Grey, looking disheartened and upset, replied with a tinge of sorrow, "Grandpa, I swear I'm not lying. The news is spreading everywhere that the Saint family and Jayson have entered into a bet, and the prize is none other than Nissan Corporation."Old Wade's anger flared up even more, and he asked with a harsh tone, "And what has Jayson demanded if he emerges victorious?"Grey's face twisted with indignation as he recalled Jayson's audacious request. He responded with a fierce tone, "Grandpa, you won't believe the ridiculous demand that
Old Anderson, the patriarch of the Saint family, was the first to step forward, accompanied by his son, both renowned pillars of Jade City's pugilistic world. They were joined by nearly a hundred cultivators from various families, forming a formidable ring around Jayson.Despite the presence of the Wilson family guardians, Jayson found satisfaction in knowing that none of the aristocratic families' businesses had been spared. "Trashy Jay, there's nowhere for you to run. Surrender to us and spare yourself a slow and painful death," Julius taunted with a smirk. This day had been long awaited since Jayson had thwarted his chance to ascend the immortal world and had taken Ella from him, Jayson became his heart demon and the person he wanted to kill in the world the most."I'll remember you; your death will come first," Jayson replied, his smile unwavering. Julius was taken aback as he gazed at Jayson, who remained remarkably composed despite the fact that all the influential figures of J
Standing at the top of the office building, Jayson sneered, "Is it time for the other families?" before vanishing from sight.Throughout that fateful night, the entirety of the Wilson family's business empire went up in flames, with warehouses and factories alike reduced to ashes.The news of this catastrophic event dominated headlines, seizing the front pages of newspapers and flooding the airwaves, as live updates of the widespread devastation were broadcast on television.Observing the news coverage, Mrs. Wilson felt no sympathy for her estranged relatives. They had long ago cast her and her family aside when they divided the family's wealth among themselves."Mom, this is terrible; all our family's businesses are gone," Elena remarked, her face drained of colour.Seething with anger, Mrs. Wilson retorted, "What do you mean 'our family business'? The Wilson family's enterprises have nothing to do with us after they divided the family assets and refused to share even a fraction with
Jayson observed with anticipation as the lawyer revealed the outcome of the DNA test. "Based on the evidence presented, it is clear that Gabby Willow is not the biological father of Peter."A slight twitch at the corner of Jayson's lips betrayed his lack of surprise at the revelation. He had suspected that Elena might manipulate the DNA test, knowing all too well the lengths to which she would go to deny Gabby Willow any claim to fatherhood."Nonsense! I refuse to believe it! Peter is my son, and this DNA result is a sham! I won't accept it!" Gabby Willow's voice thundered through the courtroom, his rage palpable."Silence!" the judge commanded as Gabby Willow struggled to contain his fury, wanting to lunge forward but held back by others in the room. The judge proceeded to deliver the final verdict.As the court proceedings came to a close, a look of shock and disbelief washed over Gabby Willow's face. It felt as if he were trapped in a nightmare from which he desperately wished to a
Old Wade stood to the side as Gilbert tried to contact other family members and grandchildren. Unfortunately, they were all magically unreachable or had their phones turned off."Old man, it seems I've wasted enough time on you two; I should be getting rid of you now," the gang boss said, pointing his gun at Old Wade and edging his finger toward the trigger."I'll give you 1% of my shares in the company," Old Wade suddenly offered.The gang boss's expression soured as he scoffed, "1%? Do you think I'm a fool?""3%," Old Wade blurted out in a flustered manner, his fear of death evident."Not bad, old man; you're good at handling a crisis," the gang boss remarked before standing up and leaving the father and son locked in the room.Looking at his father, Gilbert said unhappily, "Dad, you shouldn't have given him 3% of the company shares. Now we're left with only 15%, and our monthly dividends will decrease by 3%."Old Wade let out a disdainful huff and snorted. "Why should I continue to
Facing the menacing presence of a notorious killer, the father and son stood frozen, unable to muster the courage to lie. With a tense expression, Old Wade locked eyes with Gilbert before reluctantly admitting, "We intended to purchase the property, but the asking price is simply too steep. Our purpose in coming here was to negotiate a more reasonable sum."The gang boss regarded the duo with a smirk before scoffing, "The Wade family holds an 18% stake in one of the largest group globally, not to mention the wealthiest company in the country. Even for a shareholder with such substantial holdings, fifty million dollars shouldn't pose a significant obstacle, right?"Old Wade's eyes widened in disbelief, while Gilbert's complexion grew noticeably ashen. Old Wade responded with a hint of dissatisfaction, "We were under the impression that you were prepared to offer the property to us for thirty million dollars. Why the sudden increase to fifty million?"The gang boss lounged back in his c
As Gilbert drove them to the meeting location provided by the buyer, Old Wade couldn't contain his frustration. "Who does he think he is, making such an unreasonable demand? When we get there, I'll give him a piece of my mind. What a thief," he grumbled."Dad, please try to stay calm. We don't know who we're dealing with here," Gilbert urged, worried that his father might escalate the situation. They had an ongoing court case with the Wilson family that required a cash settlement, and their company's monthly dividends wouldn't be enough to cover additional troubles."Why are you so afraid? Sometimes I wonder if I'm even your father. When I was your age, I wasn't afraid of trouble; trouble was afraid of me," Old Wade scolded Gilbert relentlessly.Gilbert remained silent and declined to offer any further comments. Instead, he focused all his attention on driving while his father continued to criticize him as they made their way. Upon arrival, Gilbert hastily parked the car in a nearby s
After Jayson left the court, he headed over to Wade's side to check on their progress. When he caught up with the father-and-son duo, they had already been to more than twenty housing agents in the city, all of whom had refused to entertain their request for a house.Old Wade was seething with anger, clenching his teeth in frustration. "All we asked for was refunds for damaged houses, and they've all ganged up against us. Do they think the Wades are easily pushed around?"Gilbert focused on driving, letting out a rueful sigh before turning to his father and asking, "Dad, what should we do now?"Old Wade gritted his teeth and replied, "I don't believe that none of them will sell us a house. We'll keep searching tomorrow. Stop by a place to eat; I'm famished."Gilbert pulled over at an eatery, and they grabbed a quick bite. Once they were finished, they drove to the nearest hotel and booked rooms for the night.The following day, they rose early, had breakfast, and set out to find a hou
After fleeing, Old Wade hailed a taxi and returned to where Gilbert awaited him. Old Wade's expression darkened upon seeing his son. He hadn't anticipated Gilbert's disloyalty in fleeing at the first sign of danger."Gilbert!" Old Wade bellowed, drawing the attention of the lunchtime crowd in the eatery. Gilbert hung his head low as Old Wade stormed over to his table, pointing an accusatory finger."I regret the day you were born. How could you abandon me in a time of need?" Old Wade scolded.Gilbert lifted his gaze. "Dad, I tried to warn you, but you wouldn't listen," he replied.Old Wade made no effort to lower his voice; his outburst disrupted the peaceful atmosphere of the eatery, causing discomfort to the diners. A security guard approached them, saying, "Excuse me, sir, please lower your voice. You're disturbing our patrons with the noise."Old Wade turned to the security guard and bellowed, "Do you have any idea who I am? I'm Wade, a shareholder in the Wade group. How dare a me
Old Wade's eyes snapped open, and he immediately berated Gilbert, "Why didn't you catch me before I fell? I've broken my waist."Beads of sweat formed on Gilbert's brow as he scrambled to apologize, "I am deeply sorry, Father. I promise never to fail to catch you again. I won't make such a mistake in the future."Old Wade fixed Gilbert with a steely glare and retorted angrily, "What do you mean, 'next time'? Do you think I enjoy fainting? Don't let this happen again. Find new agent. We can't afford to spend the night out in the open."Gilbert wiped the sweat from his forehead and promised, "Dad, I will contact a new agent."Old Wade huffed in frustration and fell silent. After Gilbert arranged for another agent, they purchased a new house. However, just as they were about to move in, the house collapsed."What's happening?" Old Wade's eyes widened in shock as disbelief etched across his face.If it had happened once, it could have been a mistake, but twice couldn't be attributed to a
