Jayson wasn't surprised that his father and his uncle Grey had gone to the company to clown around. His confusion stemmed from their absence at the Saint family's residence to witness the match. Instead, they seemed to harbour ill wishes for him, desiring his demise as swiftly as possible. With a perplexed state of mind, Jayson Humph instructed the driver, "Take me to Nissan Corporation."Without questioning, the driver acknowledged, "Yes, sir," perceiving Jayson's foul mood from the deeply troubled expression on his face. The car accelerated along the road, making a right turn at an intersection, and proceeded towards Nissan Corporation.As the car halted at the entrance of Nissan Corporation, Jayson stepped out and found Old Wade and Grey engaged in a heated dispute with the company's security personnel, preventing them from gaining access. Old Wade's voice carried a tone of anger as he exclaimed, "This company belongs to my grandson! By what authority do you obstruct our entry? Are
Jayson's heart sank as he heard Elena's words from the other end of the phone. Despite his deep-rooted resentment towards the Wilson family, he never wished death upon them. He furrowed his brow, attempting to recollect the details of the Wilson family matriarch's passing in his memories, but the threads of information eluded him. His reincarnation had altered the destinies of many individuals, blurring the events he once knew.The father-son duo, who had been engaged in conversation with Jayson, exchanged surprised glances as Jayson abruptly rose from his seat. Old Wade's voice carried a tinge of dissatisfaction as he addressed Jayson, "Jayson, if the Wilson family matriarch has indeed passed away, why do you appear distressed? Considering how they constantly preyed on the vulnerable, isn't this their due retribution?" His resentment still lingered from the recent events when the Wilson family had seized all their properties and forcibly evicted them from their newly acquired mansion
Jayson's expression grew colder as he listened intently. He stared at Martin Wilson with a steely gaze and retorted, "That's absurd! Who do you think you are to determine whether I am divorced from Elena or not?"Martin Wilson's anger flared, his face contorting with frustration. He glared back at Jayson and snapped, "How dare you speak out of turn? I haven't given you permission."A chilling laugh escaped Jayson's lips as he replied, "I believe my association with the Wilson family is over. I am no longer your son-in-law, and we have no further ties."Turning on his heels, Jayson made a move to leave. But then, he heard Martin Wilson's voice trailing behind him, "You can't just walk away."The three guardians of the Wilson family positioned themselves in front of Jayson, forming an impenetrable barrier that prevented him from making his exit. An expression of anger and frustration crept across Jayson's face as he turned around, fixing his gaze upon Martin Wilson. With a mixture of co
Don Santos peered at the man who had abruptly interrupted his plans to capture Old Wade and Grey, his underlings frozen in their tracks. With caution evident in his voice, Don Santos asked, "And who might you be?"The stranger's audacity in barging into such a perilous situation hinted at his extraordinary nature. Don Santos knew better than to underestimate someone who displayed such fearlessness. After all, his years as an underground gang boss had taught him to recognize expertise when he saw it.The man responded calmly, his words sending a chill down Don Santos' spine. "I am the Butler of the Anderson family. Will you give me face?"Alarmed, Don Santos couldn't help but shout anxiously at his underlings, who were still advancing towards Old Wade and Grey. "Stop! Do not lay a hand on them!"His underlings halted in their tracks and swiftly retreated. Don Santos wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, despite the chilly night air. Fear had taken hold of him, causing him to pers
Jayson, who was in his hotel room, remained oblivious to the fact that he had become the target of a mysterious expert. Engrossed in a call with a real estate management representative, he discussed the details of his recent transaction."I've completed the transaction. When can I move in? The sooner, the better. I'm looking for a well-secured area, preferably near the special squad headquarters in Jade City," Jayson explained over the phone.After finalizing the agreement, Jayson ended the call with a sense of satisfaction. "Great, then I'll be moving in tomorrow."Having concluded the conversation, Jayson made his way to the bed and drifted off to sleep. The following day, he was abruptly awakened by the sound of his ringing phone. Raising an eyebrow, he noticed that the caller ID displayed Elena's name.As he answered the call, a hint of disappointment lingered in his voice. He couldn't help but feel let down by Elena and Daniel for their failure to intervene when Wilson Martin con
Jayson ended the call when he received no response from the other end after several seconds. Little did he know how shocked the man was, and if he had known, he would have handled the situation differently.Taking a deep breath, Jayson got into his car and drove to his company. The news of the bounty he had placed on the Wilson family members had quickly spread among the underground bosses, causing a major uproar. Numerous gangs that seldom appeared on a normal day emerged in force, vying to carry out the kidnapping. Their actions were so audacious that the Jade City police found themselves overwhelmed by their sudden presence.Upon arriving at his company, Jayson parked his car in the exclusive parking lot and stepped out, taking a moment to compose himself. As he made his way inside, Mr. Sun's secretary approached him, her expression filled with concern."Welcome, Chairman," she greeted him.Jayson nodded in acknowledgement and hurried toward the elevator, with Mr. Sun's secretary f
Jayson's face contorted into a frown as he struggled to place the voice. His gaze fixated on the cloaked figure before him, who seemed to be enveloped in an ominous darkness despite standing beneath the street lamp's faint glow."Who are you?" Jayson snapped impatiently, his time too precious to be wasted on such a sly individual.The stranger's response sent a shiver down Jayson's spine. "You needn't concern yourself with my identity. I'm only interested in your secrets. Hand them over if they're worth a fortune. If not, I have all the time in the world to search your soul and extract what I need."A wave of defiance surged within Jayson, dispelling his fear. "Do you truly believe yourself to be all-powerful? I fear you not. Prepare to witness my capabilities."The cloaked stranger's gaze turned sinister, closely scrutinizing Jayson's every move.Taking a step backward, Jayson gathered his resolve. In one swift motion, he launched himself into the nearby flower garden.The stranger,
Jayson's eyebrows furrowed in shock as he tried to comprehend how the Gate family patriarch had managed to locate him so easily. The reason behind the patriarch's visit only served to deepen Jayson's confusion."Please, let him in," Jayson instructed the security caller before ending the conversation. He made his way to the bathroom, quickly taking a shower and changing into presentable attire. Standing on the balcony, he observed the Gate patriarch's car approaching his residence. Since he hadn't hired any household staff yet, Jayson descended from the balcony to greet his unexpected visitor.The Gate family patriarch parked his car and stepped out, his surprise evident upon seeing Jayson approaching him. He hadn't anticipated that Jayson would be both handsome and affluent; his plans were sure to succeed.With this realization, the patriarch extended his arm for a handshake and spoke, "I've heard so much about you, young man. I never expected to meet you in person today.""Mr. Gates
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
