Immediately after Andrew called out the sum of ten million dollars, all eyes turned to him."Who is that kid? How can he have so much? He didn't even hesitate to raise the bid from one million to ten million dollars," contemplated a man who was attending the bidding, exchanging surprised glances with his equally astonished friend."Ten million dollars! going once, going twice..." the auctioneer paused, scanning the room."Thirty million dollars!" Another man raised his bidding tag in the air, giving a smug smile directed at Andrew, who was seated directly opposite him on the right-hand side of the room. The bidder was none other than Frederick Louis, a young man in his mid-twenties, representing the Louis Empire. The Louis Empire was renowned for its expertise in mining precious stones, and it was a multi-billion-dollar company. Frederick was determined to win the bid, as he had been instructed by his father to give his best."Thirty million dollars! Thirty million dollars going!" Th
The crowd was left speechless, completely taken aback by the unexpected sight of a young boy, barely twenty years old, effortlessly revealing a billion dollars.In the audience, one person whispered to their companion, "His name is Everest. Could he be from the Everest Empire? But I have never heard of him." They pondered the situation, unable to comprehend what was unfolding before their eyes.Andrew finally approached Hannah, who remained in a state of shock. She couldn't fathom how the person she had perceived as poor and shy person just a month ago, had transformed into a handsome, confident, and dominant young man. It felt like a surreal dream to her, and she found herself inexplicably drawn to Andrew's unique charm."Is this really him, or is it someone else?" she wondered, feeling a warmth and a blush as he approached her.Andrew was slightly taken aback as he noticed her smiling at him. He walked over to where she was sitting and immediately extended his arm, surprising her. "
Present....Andrew and Hannah entered the car driven by Sean, accompanied by four escort vehicles. Andrew's influence and power were growing with each passing day.After a few hours, they arrived at the company, wasting no time as Andrew was eager to proceed with the next steps. He swiftly made his way to a sofa in the corner where the cylinder bag containing the map was placed. Andrew retrieved the bag and opened it, revealing the long map inside. He carefully placed the map on his desk, covering every section of the table.Andrew who was alone in his office, now focused focused on the map that was spread out before him. As he had tried to unlock the mysteries behind the map for hours, but yet to no avail.Andrew furrowed his brow as he examined the patterns and symbols on the parchment. "There's got to be a clue that will guide me to the location of the Stellarite gem."Suddenly, his attention was drawn to a black line that caught his eye. He leaned back slightly to get a better vie
Andrew wanted to keep the information about locating the Stellarite gem confidential, so he needed to trust whoever he shared the information with. He immediately called his newly acquired security team. "I have a task for you," he informed them. "Yes, sir. Should I come to the office right away?" Sean, the leader of the team, responded from the other end of the phone. "Okay... Yes," Andrew replied before ending the call. After a while, Sean knocked on Andrew's office door. "Come in," Andrew said in response to the knock. Sean entered the office as instructed. Andrew motioned for him to take a seat at the table. "Have a seat; we need to discuss business," Andrew said. "Okay, sir," Sean replied as they both sat down at the table. Andrew began explaining, "The reason I called you is because I have a very important task that needs to be done. I require trustworthy individuals for this." Sean, being an ex-military official, understood the significance of loyalty, and he was known
Andrew didn't waste much time as he wanted to quickly secure the building before others could do so.Andrew drove to the location of the mall, exited the car, and entered the empty hallway.He was greeted by the security guards, and as he approached them, he said, "I would like to speak with your manager." The cautious security guards stared at him, having previously experienced an incident that almost resulted in the mall's closure. They were determined not to let history repeat itself."I'm sorry, but our manager is currently unavailable. You can come back later to get in touch with him," they replied, attempting to protect the manager from falling into another trap.Andrew knew they were lying because his men had already installed surveillance cameras throughout the premises.Suddenly, a door at the corner of the mall, to the right, caught his attention.Andrew's eyes narrowed as he caught sight of the manager emerging from the corner door. Without hesitation, he called out, "Mana
Andrew had successfully made a deal with the owner of the Mega Shoprite. He had convinced the owner to allow him to build a mining facility underground without raising any suspicions. However, Andrew knew that executing this plan would be challenging, especially in terms of keeping it hidden."Hmmm... this is going to be one of the most difficult parts. How can I construct a mining facility beneath a shopping mall?" Andrew pondered, rubbing his chin as he paced around his office, searching for a solution.Suddenly, his ring lit up, and his father's face appeared on the screen. His father began to speak, a mischievous smile on his face."Hahaha... that's an easy task," Andrew's father said confidently."I don't think it's possible. A mining facility wouldn't be stable, and the mall could collapse, endangering people both above and below," Andrew replied, frustration evident in his voice."You're forgetting that you're mining one of the hardest materials. What if I told you that you can
Hannah walked hand in hand with Andrew, treating him as if he were her boyfriend. She proudly paraded him around the school, desiring as she had an connection and a sense of possessiveness. After all, she was the only one who had stood by him in the past, and being an employee of his further solidified their closeness. Hannah had already developed some feelings for him, which made her hopeful that he would reciprocate. This closeness and bond brought her happiness, and she believed it wouldn't be challenging for him to develop feelings for her in return.Andrew who was unaware of the thought that ran through Hannah's mind walked as she directed him. Elsa and other if her friends saw Hannah holding Andrew and walked up to them and removed both of their hands. "How many times, Hannah? Do I have to tell you that just because this freeloader has become rich doesn't mean you should still be following him? We all know him as the freeloader that he is. How can you be sure he didn't use som

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
