Mr. Cedar had finally pledged his loyalty to Andrew, signifying that certain things could indeed be bought with money. Andrew smiled and addressed them, saying, "You may leave now. I will be in touch." He approached the area where he had been resting. "Okay, Sir," Mr. Cedar politely bowed to Andrew, carrying James as they prepared to leave the construction site. James, consumed by anger and feeling betrayed by his father, unleashed his frustration. He vehemently questioned his father's loyalty to Andrew. "Who is he, Dad? We shouldn't be loyal to him... Father, he's the one who caused me immense suffering. I had to handle dead bodies... Dead bodies! And now you want him to go unpunished," James expressed his anger, determined to confront Andrew. Mr. Cedar stepped forward, forcefully pulling James back and delivering a resounding slap to his face. "Dad!" James exclaimed, holding his face in pain. "Are you out of your mind? Do you want to get yourself killed?... Sir, I apol
The car was filled with an uncomfortable silence as Andrew focused on the road while Hannah stared out the window, lost in her own thoughts. Andrew could sense Hannah's reluctance to speak. After a few minutes of driving, unable to bear the silence any longer, Hannah finally broke the ice. "Why are you ignoring me?" she asked, as she stared at him as he was still focused on driving and not sparing her a glance. Andrew remained silent, his grip tightening on the steering wheel. He didn't want to answer her, didn't want to go into the complicated emotions swirling within him. Hannah took a deep breath, her voice barely above a whisper. "You can't just pretend like nothing happened, Andrew. We need to talk about this." "What do you expect me to say?" Andrew finally spoke, as he was very bittered, "Congratulations on your engagement? Is that what you want to hear?" He slammed his hands on the steering wheel in anger, his frustration boiling over. The car swerved slightly, bu
Daniel, who was being held by some of the crowd, was furious after Andrew landed a blow on his cheek. He could feel the pain from the impact."Andrew, you're going to pay for this. You don't know who I am," Daniel said, pushing through the people restraining him as he left the scene.Andrew, still holding onto Hannah, breathed heavily as he watched Daniel walk away.Hannah could see the anger in Andrew's eyes as he stared at Daniel. She approached Daniel, placing a hand on his shoulder, and tried to calm him down."You went too far. It's alright," Hannah said soothingly.Andrew turned to Hannah, gazing at her, and reassured her, "Don't worry, I'm here for you. You don't have to be afraid of anyone while I'm around." He hugged Hannah in front of the onlooking crowd.Meanwhile, Daniel, who had left the immediate area, didn't completely disappear. He was about to call some people to help him in the fight. He took out his phone and dialed his friend's number."Tommy, I need you right now.
Daniel, witnessing Andrew's fall, felt a surge of satisfaction, anticipating that Tommy would now have the opportunity to harm Andrew."Let's see what happens when he's out of the picture and can't have Hannah," Daniel smirked with a malicious grin.However, Andrew quickly regained his footing and brushed off his body. He glanced down at his now stained red suit."Hmm... You've just ruined a very expensive suit of mine. I hope you have enough money to compensate for it," Andrew remarked, assuming a running position as he swiftly lunged towards Tommy, who stood just a few meters away. In a matter of seconds, Andrew closed the distance and launched a kick towards Tommy's face. Reacting swiftly, Tommy deflected the kick with his elbow, effectively blocking the attack.Andrew's eyes narrowed as Tommy skillfully blocked his kick, his expression unfazed. With a slight smirk, Andrew shifted his weight and pivoted on his heel, delivering a spinning back kick aimed at Tommy's midsection. Tomm
Andrew, who had just finished his call with Mr. Cedar, remained standing as all the other gang members, including Tommy, bowed down, begging for his mercy. They knew that Andrew was the true boss, and their actions had led to dire consequences. They had indirectly insulted and fought against him, realizing that Andrew's strength far surpassed their own. Injuring him would have placed them in an even worse situation. "I will leave your punishments for Mr. Cedar to handle, but all of you will be responsible for reorganizing this party that you guys have ruined," Andrew stated, folding his hands as he observed them. "Not only that, but you will also have to take care of some trash," Andrew turned to face the bewildered Daniel, who was on the verge of running away. Andrew pointed at him, causing Daniel to immediately panic and urinate in his pants before fleeing for his life. "Get him!" Tommy, injured and in pain, struggled to stand up and go after Andrew, but Andrew restrained him. "W
Andrew pulled back briefly, his heart racing as he looked into Hannah's eyes. She smiled softly, Without a word, she pulled him closer, and Andrew could feel the intensity of her body. He responded by wrapping his arms around her, holding her tightly as if he never wanted to let go.Their kiss deepened, becoming more urgent and hungry. Andrew's hands roamed over Hannah's back, feeling the softness of her skin through her clothes. The air between them was charged with electricity, an unspoken understanding passing between them.Hannah's fingers traced the contours of Andrew's face before she began unbuttoning his shirt, her eyes never leaving his. Andrew's breath hitched as he felt her hands on his chest, her touch igniting a fire within him. He helped her, shrugging off his shirt and tossing it aside.Andrew's hands found the hem of Hannah's dress, lifting it over her head and revealing her slender figure. He marveled at her beauty, his eyes drinking in every detail. Hannah's hands tr
Andrew, who had just arrived, greeted the professor with a smile, seemingly unfazed by the situation. He quipped, "I wonder what my humble self has done to merit this invitation," addressing Professor Liam.Professor Liam oversaw the school's conduct bureau, responsible for addressing troublemakers within the school. Those summoned by him were typically associated with some form of wrongdoing on campus."You've crossed the line, so report to the office," Professor Liam stated firmly, his tone serious and unwavering.Whispers spread throughout the school as students commented, "Ha! He thinks he's untouchable... Let's see how he deals with the bureau."Many students harbored animosity towards Andrew due to his exceptional intelligence and wealth, which elevated him to a godlike status in their eyes, making him a target of envy and resentment."I hope it's not what I'm fearing," Hannah, who was nearby, muttered angrily upon witnessing Andrew being called by the professor.Andrew brought
Andrew maintained his composure as he faced the accusatory glares from Daniel's father, Mr. Ellison, and Professor Liam. He knew he had to tread carefully, but he was determined to expose the truth. "Professor, I'm afraid there has been a grave misunderstanding here," Andrew began, his voice calm and measured. " You're making a rather serious accusation against me, and I feel it's only fair that I have the opportunity to address it." Mr. Ellison scoffed, his face flushed with anger. "Don't play games with us, boy. We have witnesses who saw you physically assault my son. You think you can just walk in here and get away with it?" Andrew raised a hand, silencing the irate man. "I believe I can shed some light on the situation." Professor Liam cleared his throat, his expression stern. "Do you expect us to listen to your opinion?" Andrew leaned back in his chair, his gaze fixed on Mr. Ellison. "You see, the so-called 'altercation' that happened, I regret why I didn't beat up your son p
Andrew was dressed in a expensive suit as he stood with Hannah by his side. Hannah looked as stunning as ever, her slender figure accentuated by in a dark blue gown. The two exchanged a warm glance, their lively expressions reflecting the pleasant memories of the splendid evening they had shared the night before.Andrew stood near the side of the podium, positioned in the background where presenters typically made their entrances.From his vantage point, he could see the venue was filled to capacity. To his astonishment, every attendee was of considerable influence—representatives of powerful business empires. The gathering had created quite an uproar in town, drawing significant attention.Paparazzi and journalists had swarmed the location earlier, but Andrew had taken precautions to ensure the exclusivity of the event.He had included specific instructions in the invitations requiring all attendees to wear masks. This measure was implemented not only to preserve anonymity but also
Zoro exchanged glances between his girlfriend and Andrew, noticing the intensity in Andrew’s eyes. It was clear that Andrew wasn’t joking.Zoro had never been in a situation like this before, and the atmosphere alone told him that Andrew was someone to be feared."Do you even know who I am right now?" Andrew asked, his voice cold and commanding as he noticed Zoro’s hesitation."You should know," Andrew continued, leaning forward, "I’m not just Andrew—I’m also the underground boss of the Crimson Gang. You’d better think twice before messing with me."As if to punctuate his words, Andrew stood up and stomped hard on Zoro’s foot, causing him to wince in pain."I knew it," Andrew said, smirking as he observed Zoro’s face. "You’re useless to me. But now I also know the truth."Andrew had a talent for reading people, and Zoro’s reaction confirmed his suspicions. Without hesitation, Andrew twisted Zoro’s wrist sharply, causing a loud crack."Aahhh!" Zoro screamed, his face contorted in agony
Zoro observed the precision in Hannah's attacks; they were the moves of a professional fighter. No one had told him that Hannah knew martial arts. While it might have been true in the past, she certainly wasn’t known as a championship holder.Zoro hadn’t anticipated the fight would be this difficult. If he had known, he would have charged double for the job.He briefly considered taking the money and walking away, but his reputation meant everything to him. Backing out of the fight with Andrew would be a devastating blow to his pride, something he couldn’t afford to let happen.“We’ve wasted enough time talking! To hell with this—it's getting boring,” Andrew said sharply, a hint of a smirk on his face. “I’ll take care of you, and my girlfriend can handle yours. Then we’ll be good to go.”Without giving Zoro a chance to calculate his next move, Andrew sprang into action, rushing forward with blistering speed.Andrew darted forward with blinding speed, his fist aiming straight for Zoro'
Andrew had just finished setting up the auction house and was leaving with Hannah, who had been working alongside him all day. It was already 11 p.m., a testament to how hard they had both worked, despite Andrew being the boss.“Hannah, thanks for your help,” Andrew said with a warm smile. She had been incredibly supportive, and despite the argument they’d had earlier, they managed to keep their personal issues separate from their work. After all, she was not only his girlfriend but also his manager.“You don’t have to thank me. Are you forgetting I’m your employee?” Hannah replied with a smile, casually glancing at him as they walked together.“Why wouldn’t I appreciate my girlfriend?” Andrew teased.Hearing that, Hannah’s heart swelled with happiness, and a faint blush crept up her cheeks. Before she could respond, the sound of a gunshot tore through the air.“Hannah, watch out!” Andrew shouted, his instincts kicking in as he grabbed her by the waist. He dove to the ground, rolling
One Week Later"I never expected your son-in-law to be this capable. I don’t think any young man his age could rival him," said a man in his fifties, holding a glass of wine. He took a sip as he turned to Mr. Telsa, Hannah’s father. They were enjoying drinks along with a few other friends."Hahaha! You flatter me, Henry. The boy is truly remarkable. Did I tell you he once helped a friend of mine win a major tournament? He also trained my daughter, who had no martial arts experience, turning her from a complete novice into a professional fighter capable of rivaling seasoned competitors. He’s someone who can’t be rivaled," Mr. Telsa said, proudly boasting about Andrew, Hannah’s boyfriend."You’ll surely be a proud grandfather soon," Martins, another man at the table, chimed in as he raised his glass. "I hope you can introduce me to one of Andrew’s friends. Even someone with half of his capability would be a blessing!" Martins was subtly trying to gain favor with Mr. Telsa."I’ll see wha
Andrew had just finished watching the scientists demonstrate their latest creation when they approached him for his opinion."Sir, do they fit your expectations?" one of the doctors asked."Yes, they’re perfectly fine. We’ll begin the auction next week," Andrew said, smiling confidently. "Keep refining them, and I’d like you to reach out to potential high-profile buyers."Andrew shook hands with the doctors, commending them for their hard work."Now, the advertisements for the discounts will naturally draw a large crowd to the mall. I’ll use that as the perfect platform to set the stage for the auction," Andrew thought to himself.As he stepped out of the laboratory, he was greeted by the sight of a massive crowd standing in line outside the mall. The reason? Andrew had slashed the prices of every item by 80%, effectively making them as affordable as giving them away for free. Unsurprisingly, the incredible discounts had attracted hordes of people."The first phase of the plan is work
"Are you really the boss of Urban Oasis?" Nathan asked, with disbelief. He wanted to hear the truth directly from Andrew."Of course I am, and I don’t recall being friends with a pauper like you," Andrew replied with a calm smile as he stared at Nathan and his girlfriend."If you’ll excuse me, I have important work to do and no time to waste. I’m a very busy man," Andrew added, turning away. Before leaving, he whispered something to Sean.Nathan, still in denial, shouted after him, "Liar! You can’t be the boss. I don’t believe it! This must be some sort of joke. And frankly, I don’t need Urban Oasis—I can get a brand ambassador deal elsewhere, at a much better place than this dump!" His arrogance was unshaken, as if he didn’t care about the consequences of his words."Honey, don’t worry about them. One day, they’ll come begging you," his girlfriend said, trying to console him.Andrew, though irritated by their arrogance, wasn’t interested in wasting his energy on someone like Nathan.
One month later…Andrew stood in front of the shopping mall, observing the bustling crowd moving in and out. The mall was a thriving business venture, bringing in significant profits, and on top of that, he was reaping the benefits of the mines he had recently acquired.Leaning against a Porsche parked near his car, Andrew’s thoughts drifted to his past. He remembered the difficult days when he and his mother could barely afford three square meals. They had worked countless night shifts just to pay the bills, yet it was never enough.Now, in just three months, his life had transformed in ways he never imagined. He had risen to heights he once thought impossible. At such a young age, he was already a billionaire, possibly the youngest in the world. His numerous businesses generated substantial income daily, and he was about to embark on a project that would eclipse them all."Sean, are the devices ready?" Andrew asked as he made a call to his trusted assistant."Yes, sir. They’ve been
Andrew stood at the site, admiring the three-story mall that now stood in stark contrast to the abandoned structure that had previously occupied the space. The transformation was extraordinary, and Andrew couldn’t help but marvel at the sleek, modern design of the new building.Sean, who had just stepped out from inside the mall, noticed Andrew’s admiring gaze and walked over to greet him."Apologies for keeping you waiting," Andrew said, bowing his head slightly, a hint of embarrassment in his tone. "You know how women can be; Hannah insisted I get a whole new set of clothes and rejected half of them before she was satisfied. It took me over an hour to finish up."Sean chuckled knowingly. "I completely understand, sir. My wife puts me through the same routine. It’s practically universal."Andrew sighed, then turned back to the building. "I have to say, you and the team did an exceptional job. I didn’t expect you to transform the place this quickly—just one month, and it looks brand n
