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
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
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
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
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
"Mr. Jayson, I regret to inform you that the results indicate that your fifth son is not biologically related to you. However, please do not lose hope as this is not the end of the world. Your medical report also shows that you are not impotent, which means that you are capable of fathering a child even at your age," Dr. Sam said in a composed manner. Jayson abruptly stood up and left Doctor Sam's office without uttering a single word. His mind was reeling with disbelief at what he had just heard. Could it be possible that the five children he had with his estranged wife Elena were not biologically his own? He shook his head vigorously, refusing to accept the information that Doctor Sam had just presented to him. The look of incredulity was etched on his face as he walked out of the office, convinced that they were lying to him.As Jayson stood in the hospital, a young man approached him with news that would change his life forever. "I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this, Mr. Ja
Upon hearing his wife's voice, Jayson felt a subconscious sense of happiness and even had the urge to comply with her command to crawl back, as she had instructed over the phone. However, as he realized the pathetic nature of his former self, he was shocked and understood why he was once known as the infamous trash of Jade City. With a firm resolve, Jayson abruptly ended the call and rode off on his scooter, ignoring the persistent buzzing of his phone in his pocket. As he was about to enter a shop to purchase some boxer gear and accessories, his attention was drawn to a motorcade that had just pulled over, and men in suits were disembarking from the vehicles. Jayson paused involuntarily, observing as the last man stepped out, and he immediately recognized him. Jayson's expression soured as he recollected something. Despite his apprehension, he approached Mr. Dawson, only to be intercepted by his bodyguard. "What do you think you're doing? My boss isn't someone you can just approac
But that was no longer possible because Jayson had been reincarnated. "You have a filthy mouth, Lucy. Did you even brush your teeth this morning?" Jayson replied, his tone acidic. Lucy's face went white. She had never expected Jayson to be so caustic with his words. Without another word, Jayson turned around and left the room. Elena's complexion paled as she realized the gravity of the situation. Without hesitation, she chased after Jayson, calling out his name anxiously. "Jayson!" Just then, Mrs. Wilson stepped in her way, her voice laced with anger. "Elena, what's wrong with you? Don't tell me you've fallen for that worthless man?" Elena shook her head frantically, her nerves on edge. "No, Mom. You know who I love. It's not him." The entire Wilson family nodded in agreement, aware of Elena's affection for Gabby, one of the wealthiest men in Jade City. Daniel's eyes sparkled with an idea. "Why don't you leave Jayson and marry Gabby?" Elena sighed and replied dejectedly, "I wis
