Shortly after leaving their company, Mr. Stone, Diana, and Inid swiftly arrived at Davis Group. The secretary, dispatched to receive them, conveyed, "Mr. Davis has expressly asked for Mrs. Diana to present the proposal to him."Diana found herself taken aback. The situation escalated; she had initially hoped to avoid confronting Martin, but now she was compelled to meet him as he had specifically requested her presence for the pitch meeting.Evo Electronics' manager, Mr. Stone, directed his gaze towards Diana and handed her a document, accompanying it with these words."Take a moment to review the details enclosed and engage in a discussion about the contract with Mr. Davis. Rest assured, there's no need for concern; Mr. Davis is unlikely to be harsh, given our company's current connection to his. Even if he isn't keen on the proposed ideas, any adjustments he suggests would likely be minor."Diana acknowledged with a nod and proceeded to accept and examine the documents.Following t
Gina harbored intentions of once again subjecting Victor to embarrassment when Matthew's voice intervened, breaking the impending confrontation. "Mom, Dad, Aunty Gina," he announced, "I've been patiently waiting for Diana to arrive so that we can all visit the house I recently purchased. Considering Victor's assertion that he, too, has acquired a property, let's take this chance to inspect the house he claims to have bought."Frustration boiled within Gina as she silently cursed Victor. Her disdain for him was unmistakably etched on her face, a testament to the consistent manner in which Victor managed to put her in awkward situations.Victor could see that but he simply smiled. Diana's worry mirrored the uncertainty in the air, but Victor's reassuring nod offered a momentary solace. As they collectively stepped outside, Matthew, wearing a proud smile, extended an invitation to Diana."Diana, come join me in my car here," he said with evident pride.Matthew's pride wasn't unwarranted
Maple Villa proved to be a heavenly abode for Victor, who, engrossed in its splendor, allowed others to explore independently. Nevertheless, he took the initiative to personally guide Diana through the intricacies of the house, showcasing its various facets with enthusiasm and pride.Diana, still filled with surprise and confusion, inquired, "In what way did you manage to acquire this?" With a reassuring smile, Victor responded, "My love, as I mentioned before, winning the lottery has brought about significant transformations in my life, all of which are meant to benefit us. And there's more to the story – I've also begun working for Mr. Davis's superior. It's a lengthy tale, but the important thing is that our lives are on the verge of a remarkable change. I'm determined to provide you with the very best."Diana reciprocated with a smile, enveloping Victor in a warm hug before releasing him, a tinge of embarrassment coloring her demeanor."After concluding their tour, Matthew and h
Victor, Michael, and Ella were guided to a designated area where their cards underwent scrutiny. Following the verification process, each of them was equipped with distinctive tags displaying the letter C.Meanwhile, Boss Kent received a tag with the letter M inscribed on it, setting him apart from the others.Observing this systematic tagging, Victor discerned a pattern: C denoted Core, while M signified Middle. Intrigued, Victor hypothesized the existence of a third category, anticipating a tag labeled P.Soon enough, Victor's conjecture materialized as they encountered an individual adorned with a P-tag. A silent confirmation passed between Victor and Ella, validating their shared analysis.The event's organizers, it became evident, had implemented a hierarchical division of the affluent attendees based on martial art cultivation stages. Despite this revelation, the reasoning behind such categorization remained elusive to Victor.Indeed, there was more beneath the surface than ini
The initial auction item sparked a flurry of enthusiastic bids, particularly from participants within the core section of the auction. Subsequently, additional items were presented, each drawing its share of interested bidders.Jonathan addressed Victor, noting, "I couldn't help but notice that you haven't placed a bid on any item lately. The upcoming auctions promise intense competition, particularly among participants in the middle and peak sections. The middle section might struggle, not to mention the core section."In response, Victor explained, "I refrained from bidding because I didn't find anything that piqued my interest. I can't be certain, but it seems you possess substantial wealth and prefer not to reveal it openly which is why you chose to be in the core section."Jonathan, smiling, retorted, "You have good instincts but you are both right and wrong." His attention then shifted back to the host of the auction."Now unto one of our important items, we now unveil a truly
After the statement, no one else, not even the man adorned in a clown mask 🤡, put forth any additional offers. This was because the primary item of interest was already identified, rendering other propositions inconsequential.Prior to the commencement of the auction, rumors circulated among them about the final item slated for bidding. It was this particular item that captivated their anticipation, and they were determined not to expend their funds on items of peripheral significance.Victor's victorious grin widened as he secured the win, and he subsequently directed his attention towards Jonathan. "Consider the dragon cauldron my gift to you," he declared, a subtle air of mystery surrounding him.Caught off guard, Jonathan couldn't conceal his astonishment. It was a gesture he hadn't anticipated; Victor had not pursued the coveted item for himself but rather for Jonathan.Curiosity mingled with gratitude, Jonathan questioned, "Who are you really?" Despite the enigma, he accepted
Victor's pursuers wasted no time in tailing him, their focus unwavering. Despite the presence of his companions – Michael, Ella, and Boss Kent – it was Victor they sought relentlessly.While Victor possessed the ability to discard his mask and reclaim his other identity as a poor and useless son in law, the urgency of the situation left him with no time to change his clothes oe change into an alternate persona. Consequently, he had no choice but to persist as Mr. Parker, evading his pursuers while grappling with the constraints imposed by his current circumstances.Despite Victor being a cultivator in the noble realm alongside Michael and Ella, his current position at the core stage made them reluctant to leave him alone. Although they all shared the same realm, Ella and Michael had surpassed Victor, reaching the peak stage.Ella instructed Michael, "Go assist him; I'll remain here with Kent."Michael promptly acknowledged her command, disappearing in the direction Victor had hastil
