Jayson let out a sigh of relief as he watched Elena leave. Finally alone, he felt a wave of tranquility wash over him, and he drifted off into a peaceful sleep. The next morning, he woke up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.As he reached for his phone, it emitted a soft beep, indicating a new message. Curious, he picked it up and discovered a notification from the money-doubling company agent. "They responded so quickly," Jayson muttered to himself. "I guess I'll have to go to the rendezvous with Jao. I don't entirely trust those guys."After taking a refreshing bath, Jayson left the mansion accompanied by Jao, who appeared grumpy and dissatisfied. Jayson reassured him, promising a satisfying breakfast ahead. Determined, they headed towards the location where they were supposed to meet the money-doubling company.Upon arriving, Jayson and Jao were greeted by two men in sharp suits, their faces filled with excitement. Eagerly, they ushered Jayson and Jao inside, welcoming them with wa
The money-doubling company failed to anticipate the unexpected turn of events, where Jayson would execute such audacious maneuvers. Underestimating Jao and assuming that Jayson would confront the hired combat master proved to be their greatest blunder.Jayson and Jao made a frantic escape. As soon as they exited the building, they swiftly made their way to Jayson's parked car. Without wasting a moment, Jayson reversed and accelerated, leaving the scene in a hurry.By the time the combat master emerged accompanied by the group of money-doubling agents, Jayson's car had already covered several kilometres, far beyond their reach. The agents glared at the disappearing car with a seething mix of resentment and frustration, their teeth grinding in anger.Once Jayson had exacted his revenge on the money-doubling company, he jubilantly hummed a celebratory tune. After an hour of driving, he arrived at the Wilson mansion and skillfully parked the car. Both he and Jao stepped out of the car.Ja
Biggie's expression turned grim as Jayson's audacity caught him off guard. He narrowed his eyes, contemplating how he would have torn Jayson apart if it weren't for his appearance resembling that of a privileged scion from one of Jade City's elite families."Tell me," Biggie's voice dripped with coldness, his anger evident as his chest rose and fell in fury, "Which family do you belong to, brat?"Jayson responded with a smirk, undeterred by Biggie's intimidating demeanour. He glanced at the two women in his arms and said, his smile unwavering, "Jayson Wade. Shall we proceed inside?"Before Biggie could fully comprehend the situation, Jayson had already entered the premises with the two women, leaving behind a visibly disgruntled Biggie, his face clouded with anger that seemed ready to spill over."The Wade family?" Biggie muttered, his brows furrowing in confusion. He shook his head, trying to recall any knowledge of such a family. "Never heard of them. Jayson Wade," he muttered, his
Jayson's expression contorted into a mixture of confusion and disdain as he laid eyes on the man in the white robe, who was inexplicably slumbering while standing. He couldn't believe his luck in encountering such eccentric characters from the martial arts academy. From Jao, who possessed a bony frame yet devoured copious amounts of food without any visible evidence, to this person who dared to sleep amidst his adversaries.A glimmer sparked in Jayson's eyes, causing him to abandon his original plans of dealing with Biggie and his cohorts. With a smile stretching across his face, he addressed Biggie, "Consider yourself fortunate today, Biggie. I shall grant you forgiveness. But do not dare send your lackeys to stop me in the future." His voice rang with a stern warning as he turned away, striding purposefully towards his car without waiting for Biggie to utter a word."Stop right there!" Biggie's voice thundered, his face twisted with fury and malice.After insulting me and daring to
Elena stood there, stunned into silence by Jayson's unexpected calmness. His explanation seemed utterly unreasonable to her, and her eyes narrowed as she sneered, her voice laced with disbelief, "Jayson, if you seriously think I'll divorce you, you must be joking."Snatching her phone from Jayson's hands, she turned on her heel and stormed away, her anger radiating from her cold demeanour. This time, she was genuinely furious.Meanwhile, Jayson lay on his bed, not taking Elena's words seriously. Lost in his thoughts, he eventually drifted off to sleep, only to be abruptly awakened in the middle of the night by the sound of Elena's animated conversation.He listened intently as Elena spoke loudly into the phone, her voice filled with excitement and gratitude, "Kane, thank you so much for calling and wishing me a happy birthday! I'm genuinely thrilled!"Jayson's face darkened as memories flooded back to him—the countless times he had woken up in the middle of the night on Elena's birthd
Chloe's expression morphed into one of utter disbelief; she couldn't fathom that Mrs. Marcel, a prominent figure in Jade City's elite circles, would stoop to such levels. Before she could gather her thoughts and react, Jayson, disguised as Mrs. Marcel, abruptly turned on his heels and marched away.Flushed with embarrassment, Chloe's face reddened as she noticed bystanders capturing the embarrassing scene on their smartphones. Overwhelmed, she hastily turned around, tears welling up in her eyes, and hurriedly sought solace in the refuge of her car.As Jayson, still disguised as Mrs. Marcel, confidently strode into the blind spot of a surveillance camera, his true identity was revealed. Reverting back to his original self, he entered the bustling mall and proceeded to shop for the girls. Once the purchases were made, Jayson discreetly sent them on their way.With a nonchalant hand casually tucked into his pocket, Jayson strolled purposefully through the mall, scouring for the perfect s
"Wait a moment," the man in the sharp suit said to Jayson before walking away. After a short while, he returned, carrying a briefcase brimming with cash. As Jayson opened it, he couldn't help but be captivated by the pristine bills."Remember, you must repay it within a year," the man in the suit reminded Jayson, "along with an additional $100,000 as a loan servicing fee Monthly.""No problem," Jayson, donning a confident expression, responded with a grin as he took possession of the briefcase.Once Jayson exited the loan shark's establishment, a wide smile spread across his face. "Taking loans made easy," he remarked, his satisfaction evident.Jayson, disguised as Biggie, whistled cheerfully as he contemplated his plan. If anyone dared to offend him, he would assume their identity and effortlessly secure a loan in their name. Satisfied with his scheme, he happily made his way back to his car and drove off.At Wilson Corp.Elena was engrossed in her work when the office door swung ope
As Jayson locked eyes with Chef Breed, there was a tense silence in the air. Chest puffed out, Chef Breed stared back defiantly, tauntingly asking, "Do you want to fight? Come on."Butler Mark's voice interrupted the standoff as he approached them. "Breed, did the plan work? Did the trash take the bait?" he questioned, his tone revealing his anticipation.Chef Breed sneered, "Of course, the fool took the bait. He's nothing but trash." He directed his anger towards Jayson, threateningly adding, "What are you smiling at? Want me to gouge out your eyes?"Jayson's grin widened, sending a chill down their spines. Chuckling lightly, he calmly retreated to his room, leaving them baffled and unsettled.After enjoying a refreshing bath, Jayson slipped into his newly purchased, exquisite suit and paired it with the matching shoes. Admiring his reflection in the mirror, he felt a deep sense of satisfaction. With a desire to leave his room, he suddenly found his lips curling up into a mischievous
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
