Alex glanced at the trio, his eyes filled with frustration."Have you ever heard that if you give a man a place to step back on, you will have a better life? Can you just pretend you don't see me here?"Rosemary pressed on, her voice dripping with malice. "I want to see you getting kicked out of here. I will even record a video when you are getting kicked out and post it on the internet!"Nicholas barked at the waiter, "What are you waiting for? Go call your manager. Do you want to get fired?"The waiter looked at Alex with a face not knowing what to do."They demand a manager. Just go call your manager here," Alex said. The waiter, like receiving a command, hurriedly went to find his manager.Jasmine yelped, "I want to see how you get out of this problem!""You know what?" Alex said, his tone calm. "It's very easy. I've had enough of eating here, so it's time for me to leave. You can have fun talking to the manager while I’m going out."As Alex walked out of the restaurant, Nicholas
Alex received a call asking him to return to the restaurant, but what he saw was not something he liked.He was a prince, and using his power to bully the innocent was the last thing he wanted. Although the people here were not completely innocent, they were just fools."I never told you to do something like this to them," Alex glanced at the manager, his eyes full of frustration."Yes, but it was the last request from Mr. Kane Wood," the manager explained. "He said no one could look down on Mr. Alex our new boss."Alex noticed Kane looking from his private room, clearly having no good intentions in making the Gracy family and White family hate him.When Alex glanced back at the four of them kneeling, they looked at Alex with disbelief."What? He's the owner?" Nicholas Gray couldn't believe what he had just heard. "Are you fucking kidding me?"Rosemary was also shocked. "How could this loser become the hotel owner?""What general backing!" Jasmine yelled arrogantly. "If your owner had
Lily scoffed, "What you're thinking isn't correct. I'm telling you, you'll regret letting go of Clean Water Company. I'm going to make it to the very top!"Nicholas Gray glared at Ava with displeasure. "Ava Sharp, you are totally wrong. With Gray Company making new investments in Clean Water Company, I think it will only go up, never down."Alex stared at Nicholas in disbelief. When people tried hard to avoid trouble, why did he insist on entering Clean Water Company, the source of all tragedy? Are you idiot?Alex could only shake his head.Ava secretly looked at Alex's face and smiled. "Well, if the Gray family wants to enter Clean Water, I can only congratulate you on your success. I might even give you a free lunch. What do you think?""If it's free," Jasmine added, "of course, I'll take it."She called for the manager, "Give me all of your expensive food here! Bring me the most expensive wine!" She already planned to call for a hundred thousand dollars wine.Ava grabbed Alex's han
As Alex walked down from the hotel to the entrance, there were about twenty private special forces, appearing like high-rank mercenaries with complete bulletproof bodies and weapons.The leader, named Joe, had a scar over his eye and an aura of danger around him. “Miss Ava, we will guard you and Mr. Alex to the location. Please feel at ease; we will hunt whoever dares to kidnap Miss Eva.”Alex’s eyebrow raised, “Do I need to be guarded too?”Ava stared deeply at Alex, “You are important to me; of course, you need protection.”He couldn’t say anything against the care that Ava gave, so he sat beside Ava in the car, and they went to the address, which was outside the city, near the jungle.“No need to worry,” Ava said to comfort Alex, as his face was serious and sharp, looking around, ready for any action.“They are the special forces of Sharp Company. They are stronger than many fighters, especially Joe, the leader. He has a lot of experience in war as a mercenary before we made him th
Joe stepped forward, "I don’t know who you are, but do you think you will get it very easily as I'm already here?"At the same time, all twenty special forces members took out their guns and aimed at each of the kidnappers."Now our guns are pointing at each other," Joe smirked. "You shoot us, we shoot you. How does that sound? You die, I die. No one gets anything.""What do you want?" the kidnapper leader asked."How about we fight one on one? You choose five of your best people, and I choose five of our best. If we win, you let Eva go, but if you win, Ava will sign over not only half of the Sharp family business to you but the whole Sharp family business to you. No one needs to die!" Joe suggested.Ava's face turned shocked, "Joe, how can you make a decision for me!""Challenge accepted," said the leader, not backing down.Joe stared at Ava, "I am hired to protect your safety. At this time, I think this match is much better than shooting each other, where all of us will die and I fa
Alex walked into the ground simple arena, still carrying his guns. His opponent, already in the arena, stared at him and said, "Don't you think you need to take off your gun in the fighting arena?""What? Are you still worried I will use gun with all your friends here?" Alex sneered. "I won't need my gun to defeat you.""Everyone, if he takes out his gun, just shoot him down!" the opponent yelled."No worries," the others responded.The opponent smiled and showcased his muscles. "It's great that you know your position, but sorry I will kill you here.""Why?" Alex smiled, still calm. "Is it because I'm not one of your people, so you won't pretend to fight with me?"The opponent rushed to kick Alex, but Alex evaded by stepping back. "All of you are really not good at hiding your killing intent, as I am an outsider," he said."Whatever," the opponent snarled, rushing to hit Alex again.This time, Alex had seen enough and decided it was time to execute his plan. As the man struck, Alex ev
"Arthur Sharp," Ava sighed, her voice heavy with concern as she was on the front seat car. "Are you sure my uncle is trying to kill us?"Alex glanced at her beautiful face and replied, "I’m not really sure of anything right now, but I am certain there’s a traitor in your family who wants you both dead. It just so happens that the people trying to kill you are your uncle's men. So he is the biggest suspect unless there is someone else in your family who hates you."Eva, sitting in the back seat, protested. "All of the Sharp family has been kind to us. We’ve never hurt each other.""Whatever," Alex focused on the road as the car headed back to the hotel. "You can keep believing that and get yourselves killed. Or you can start being wary of everything from now on."Ava and Eva knew his words were true.When Alex reached the front of the hotel, neither of them got out. "What are you both waiting for?" he asked impatiently.The twins exchanged looks, and Ava spoke up, "I’m sorry to bother
At one of the Clean Water Company branches, a group of people delivered a large liquid container."What is that?" asked the security guard on the entrance."We're delivering Sodium Hydroxide, like usual," said a man in a yellow suit, handing over a document. "Here is the paperwork.""What is that for?" asked the security guard, reading the document."Well, it is a liquid applied after the filtration process to adjust the pH levels of the water. It ensures the water is not too acidic or alkaline, which helps prevent pipe corrosion and ensures safe drinking water," the transporter explained.The security guard looked indifferent, yawning as he let them pass. As the group in yellow suits entered, they met a group of people in white clothing who wore badges from Clean Water Company."Let us take over from here," the man in white clothes said."No," the man in the yellow suit replied firmly. "We have orders to pour this liquid ourselves to ensure nothing happens.""Sure, everyone here is o
