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

    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

    "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.

  • The Hidden Legacy; I Will Rise Through Every Pain    Auction

    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 p

    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 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,

    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'

    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

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

    Days had passed, and Hannah had refused to even look in Andrew's direction. She’d barely eaten, barely spoken.Taylor stood by the door. He cleared his throat. "Hannah… we need to talk."Her voice came, cold and controlled. "About what?"Taylor sighed and stepped into the room, closing the door behind him. "No lies this time. Just about the stuffs I told you the last time ."She looked away. "Why would I help you?""Because you’re the only one who can access the biometric node at KAIROS. The data there might explain what they did to you… and to the baby."Hannah’s breath caught slightly. The child."I’m not doing this for him," she said. "I’m doing this to protect my baby. That’s all."Taylor nodded. "Understood."Outside the room, Andrew waited, pacing. When Taylor came out, he tried once again to approach the door, but Taylor stopped him. "She agreed," he said. "But she’s not ready to see you."Andrew didn’t argue. He just stood there, fists clenched, expression unreadable.Later th

  • I Love My Child: Abortion Wasn't the Answer

    Andrew stood alone in the corridor outside the med bay, his back to the wall, arms folded tightly across his chest.It had been three days since she’d thrown a glass at him. Since she’d screamed that she hated him.Since she’d looked at him like he was a stranger.He hadn’t gone back in. Dr. Yuen had kept him informed—quietly, professionally. The scans were coming in clean. The baby was fine. Hannah was recovering. Physically.Emotionally? That was a different story.Taylor passed him once, pausing with a hesitant glance. “She’s still not speaking to you?”Andrew didn’t answer, Taylor didn’t press. He just gave a short nod and disappeared down the hall.Inside the med bay, Hannah sat curled on the edge of the bed, knees to her chest, gaze locked on the blank wall across from her. Her hair was pulled into a messy bun. Her IV had long been removed, but the tape still clung to her wrist.She hadn’t spoken more than five words to anyone since that night. Only to Dr. Yuen, and only when sh

  • She Knows

    She collapsed in his arms the moment the second attacker hit the floor, Andrew didn’t breathe.For a few seconds, her head was against his chest and her breathe was shallow. He knelt, cradling her gently, brushing damp strands of hair from her forehead with his fingers still red from the fight.“I’ve got you,” he whispered. “You’re alright now. I’m here. He scooped her up, and walked out through the front door, boots crunching glass behind him. By the time he reached the secure exit and loaded her into the black SUV waiting in the alley, his voice was steady again — but his hands trembled.“Drive,” he told the AI. “Take us to fallback safehouse: Pudong sector. Level-three lockdown."He clenched his jaw, teeth grinding silently and that meant one thing: Liu Wenjie had just signed his death certificate.The SUV pulled to a hard stop in front of the secured safehouse. The reinforced doors slid open.Taylor, Leon, and Frederick stood waiting under the pale light of dusk.They barely had

  • They Don't Take A Break

    Hannah was bored of staying at home as she wrapped her scarf tighter as she stepped out of the glass tower, with sunglasses shielding her eyes. She needed fresh air. Space to think. And for once, just feel normal.She was only going down the street. She didn't have a destination..maybe she might go to the Pharmacy, or a tea shop or maybe just walk back. But something felt wrong the moment she crossed the first intersection. The wind hit harder than it should have. "Ahhhh?" She felt pain he her stomach as she clutched her belle hard.The nearest pharmacy was only six blocks a familiar spot she’d passed during her first two days here. The route cut through a narrow café-lined street where. She kept her head down, one hand in her coat pocket.By the time she stepped into the pharmacy, her vision had begun to blur at the edges.The woman at the counter greeted her with a familiar smile. “Morning, Ms. Hannah.”Hannah forced a smile. “Hi.” She handed over her prescription card.The woman

  • What Did They Do To My Baby?

    They sat under high-spectrum scan light, connected through a double-isolated channel into Taylor’s offline decoding rig. Three plasma monitors flickered to life, feeding raw signal patterns into algorithmic scramblers.Taylor’s eyes narrowed as lines of corrupted metadata unraveled in bursts of red and white static.“This is deep-locked military encryption,” he muttered. “But not national. Private-sector stuff. Unregistered… compartmentalized black-tier development.”Andrew stood over his shoulder, arms crossed, jaw tight. “Keep going.”“I’m looking at this code,” Taylor muttered, “but it’s like... Some of this feels familiar. But I don’t remember decrypting it.”Andrew didn’t move.“You did,” he said.Taylor looked up.“Four days ago,” Andrew continued, eyes fixed on the screen. “You hacked into Liu’s restricted medical network. You found a file tagged Carrier 6B. You told me Hannah was already being scanned.”Taylor blinked. “I… said that?”Andrew nodded. “Then you forgot.”Taylor t

  • Interception

    The van rolled quietly through the east industrial corridor of Shanghai, escorted by silence and low fog. Its windows were blacked out. Its GPS route was shielded by encrypted pings feeding directly into Liu Wenjie’s private surveillance channel.To everyone in the command chain, everything was proceeding exactly as it should.But Andrew had built the lie before the route even began.Two Hours Earlier...In a dimly lit garage beneath a fake shell company in Baoshan District, Taylor stood beside an identical replica of the auction van. Same model. Same make. Same tires, even matched wear on the sidewalls.Andrew stood across from him, zipping up a matte-black delivery suit that bore the same credentials as Liu’s logistics personnel.“Thermal sync patch is ready,” Taylor said, holding up a small node. “Once you’re inside the real van, press this against the core. It’ll copy the biometric read pattern in case they try to match it later.”Andrew pulled gloves tight, checked the scanner ri

  • Operation: Lot Forty Three

    Andrew stepped out of the car without a word, coat collar turned up against the wind.The driver didn’t wait. The door shut, and the sedan rolled off without hesitation.He stood at the entrance of what looked like a derelict opera house—abandoned, forgotten, walls choked in vines. But beneath the flaking columns, two men in black suits stood with biometric scanners.He approached slowly. “Invite,” one barked in Mandarin.Andrew handed over a sealed card embossed with a gold crescent. Inside was a chip and nothing else.They scanned it. No names were exchanged.The door opened with a soft hydraulic hiss, and Andrew stepped into a new world.The auction hall was nothing like he expected.Carved deep into a retrofitted bomb shelter, the chamber resembled a museum merged with a theatre. Velvet seats, polished floors, and glass exhibits under halo lights surrounded the central podium.No one spoke loud enough to be heard.Above it all, a massive chandelier shaped like a spinal cord rotated

  • Experiment

    Rain fell slowly, steady rain drops fell across Shanghai skyline, turning the penthouse windows into a blur of lights and water. Andrew stood frozen in the hallway, his hand still gripping the handle like it might anchor him to something steady. But nothing about him felt steady.He had seen not just her bare skin — the soft curve of her shoulder, the flash of skin above her waistband — but the shock in her eyes. The way her arm moved, instinctively covering herself. “You idiot...Damn it, she is still as sexy as ever" he whispered, pressing a palm to his forehead.He leaned against the wall, chest rising and falling faster than it should’ve."You shouldn’t have walked in. You should’ve knocked, called out—anything." He swallowed hard, running a hand down his face.“I’ve seen it all before,” he murmured, almost in defense of himself. “There’s nothing there I haven’t held. Nothing I haven’t kissed.” It was a weak excuse. But it gave him a thread to hold onto. They’d shared a past—eve

  • What's Going On?

    Andrew jolted upright, gasping. His breath came in short, ragged bursts as he scanned the room—dim morning light filtering through gray curtains, the quiet hum of the air vents, and the soft weight of his coat folded on the chair.He was in his room. “But… how?”His eyes darted around, confused. The last thing he remembered was… the rooftop. Hannah. The conversation. And Taylor—Taylor was tracing the KAIROS list.He staggered out of bed, his bare feet brushing the cold floor, tension rippling through every muscle.Something was off.He murmured, “I don’t remember coming back.”He rubbed the side of his neck, checking for signs. No injection point. No bruising. Just a faint pressure behind his eyes, like something had been pressed into his mind and then hastily pulled back.His gaze landed on the phone lying face-down on the desk.He walked over slowly, picking it up.“What was the last thing I did?” he muttered.“Taylor…” The memory came back in pieces. “We were tracking access to Han
