"Forty million," Andrew muttered to himself, he knew that he couldn't win the bid with that amount. "That's a good start, but I can go much higher."

Andrew tapped the amount section and impulsively placed a bid of $60 million without much consideration. "There, that should do it. Over $60 million transferred and ready to secure the Emerald Crest," he said quietly, his face filled with determination.

Meanwhile, Damian still bid the official amount, Damian thought to himself. "That loser just seems to be bragging he can never afford even 40 million dollars, so there is no need for me to waste my time in placing a higher bet. This property is mine," Damian smiled as he looked at Andrew.

Just then, Evelyn emerged from her office and announced, "The bidding has been placed, and we officially have a winner."

Damian eagerly anticipated hearing his own name, but to his astonishment, the outcome was quite the opposite.

"Mr. Alexander Everest, you have won the bid. Congratulations and you are

    Andrew waved his hands to bid them farewell, but his gestures were indirectly insults. The girls remained outside, confronting the security guards."Do you even know who my boyfriend is? He lives here, and if he finds out you treated me this way, I assure you, your jobs will be on the line. Are you seriously telling me I can't enter?" Melanie, the owner of the Lamborghini, exclaimed angrily."We follow the rules, and if you truly are who you claim to be, why don't you call him over, ma'am? This is a peaceful neighborhood. Instead of getting worked up, let's have a civil conversation," one of guard advised, trying to diffuse the tension."Melanie, just give him a call," Trisha, her friend, urged, giving her a reassuring pat on the back.Melanie let out a frustrated sigh. She dialed her boyfriend's number, hoping for a resolution."Hey, honey, I've been here for a while, and they won't let me in," she sobbed into the phone."Who the heck refused to let you in?

    It was the beginning of a new week, precisely Monday, marking the start of the workweek. Andrew was determined that this would be the week he would seize full control as the CEO of Stellarite Resources. It was hard to fathom that at such a young age, barely in his twenties, he was about to assume such a prestigious role.This achievement would undoubtedly be one of his greatest accomplishments, especially considering he was now a billionaire in his own right. Andrew had been granted a semester suspension, providing him with the freedom to do as he pleased during this period, and he was determined to utilize it wisely.Rising from his spacious king-sized bed, Andrew stretched his limbs. It had been quite some time since he had enjoyed such a restful night's sleep, and he felt remarkably rejuvenated, as if he were capable of anything."I need to hurry!" he exclaimed, quickly getting out of bed and rushing to the bathroom to freshen up. Andrew was well-prepared, opting for a casual outfi

    Andrew finally reached the top floor of the building and spotted the secretary, who had been described as a lunatic by the receptionist, sitting at the corner just before the office of the head manager.Approaching her politely, Andrew said, "Excuse me, ma'am. I'm here as a shareholder of this company, and I would like to discuss an important matter with the manager. Could you please inform him?"Skeptically eyeing Andrew, the secretary replied "A shareholder, huh? How can a young college kid like you claim to be one? Do you even understand the value of a single share?" She leisurely scanned Andrew from head to toe, asserting her doubt.Andrew tried to clarify himself once more, saying, "I assure you, it would be in your best interest to relay my message to your boss."Interrupting him, the secretary retorted, "Or what? You'll resort to violence? Kid, if you know what's good for you, get out of here. This isn't a place for college kids to play around. Who even allowed you into this bu

    Andrew chuckled as they struggled to regain their footing. Eventually, Mr. Blackwood managed to stand and approached Meredith, delivering a resounding slap across her face.*Paaaah!*Stunned and in pain, Meredith held her cheek, bewildered by the sudden turn of events. "Sir, what have I done wrong?" she asked as felt the immense pain from the slap."You're to blame. You tried to hinder our CEO, causing him to wait outside," Mr. Blackwood explained, then turned to Andrew, bowing down. "I apologize for this, sir."Meredith, now understanding the situation, was equally shocked. "Brat! What are you all doing here?" Mr. Blackwood shouted at the others, who rushed over to Andrew and bowed down. "We are sorry for our previous actions, sir.""You should be apologizing to them, not me," Andrew remarked, pointing towards the protesting crowd outside. He then proceeded to sit at the desk, crossing his legs."I want you to fetch me the financial ledgers from one week ago," Andrew instructed, gest

    It was almost midnight as Andrew was still in the office, examining the company's financial ledgers, analyzing the profits and losses incurred over the previous years."Hmmm... Besides the mismanagement, it appears that the sales of Prime Stone have significantly declined. It seems the mining sites we currently have are no longer valuable," Andrew murmured, his gaze fixed on the map laid out on his desk.Stellarite Resources, a mining company specializing in rare orbs, had suffered due to the previous owner's poor decision-making when acquiring mining locations. Initially, they had struck gold with Prime Stone, a highly sought-after gem with properties comparable to diamonds. However, as the market became saturated with Prime Stone, sales plummeted, rendering it unprofitable for the company."I believe it's time to diversify. Dad, you mentioned a rare stone that could revolutionize our business," Andrew said aloud as a holographic projection of his father materialized before him."Yes

    Andrew had been working throughout the night, exhausted to the point of sleeping on his desk amidst the scattered ledgers. Suddenly, a knock on the door jolted him awake, causing him to stir immediately."Yaaah!" Andrew yawned, stretching his body as he tried to shake off the drowsiness. Just then, he heard another knock on the door, grabbing his attention."Come in," he called out, and the door swung open, revealing the receptionist who had been smoking the previous day. She seemed timid as her gaze met Andrew's."Good morning, sir," she greeted, her voice trembling slightly."Good morning, Miss..." Andrew's eyes fixed upon her, silently urging her to reveal her name."Sorry, sir... My name is Mira," she responded, her voice barely above a whisper."Nice to meet you, Miss Mira," Andrew replied, his tone polite but firm. "And please, I prefer not to see anyone smoking in the office environment.""Yes, sir," Mira replied, nodding her head immediately, understanding the expectation."I

Meanwhile, Inside the black car, Andrew remained hidden from view, leaving everyone present to ponder about the mysterious billionaire who had arrived.

    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.

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!

    Fight With The Assassins

    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.

    I'm The Boss

    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
