Mars Hotel, Stormwind City

10:09 p.m.

Nicolas took a swig of the extremely pricey wine that was sitting on his table and enjoyed the flavor. A few minutes ago, he finished his dinner and then gave it over to the members of the cleaning staff who had asked for it. He was now reading the lengthy emails that his most reliable contact in Stormwind City had forwarded to him in a cool and collected manner.

The e-mails contained numerous possible top-notch deals that needed Nicolas' signature to be signed before the deals could advance, updates on the still-spiking share price of the companies, as well as various other critical documents that needed his attention to review.

Nicolas browsed through the e-mails, taking sips of his wine from the glass cup he was using to hold it while scrolling through the e-mails on his iPad. He paid greater attention to the more essential ones that she had sent to him.

As Nicolas scanned through the emails, he became aware of a very significant problem that w

    Nicolas couldn't help but stare at the dashing young man who had the same jet-black hair and blue eyes as he did, and as he did so, a surge of rage and contempt washed over him. The atmosphere of tranquility that he had before Aaron's arrival abruptly vanished, and it was replaced with an aura of homicidal intent that emanated from him.He intended to put an end to Aaron!Aaron Tyris was a scoundrel of the greatest sort, and Nicolas Nacht, who was only a young boy at the time, took the brunt of the man's evil.Among the many other horrendous things that were done to him, he was beaten severely, had his food taken, and witnessed on multiple occasions as it was given to the dogs.He had pledged a long time ago that he would have his revenge against Aaron Tyris, and the five years that he spent overseas creating his multi-trillion-dollar group did not lessen the hatred and rage that he felt towards Aaron at all.The new piece of information he learned and the chat he had with Jack Harvey

    Aaron Tyris awoke with a severe migraine and a burning and stinging sensation on the left side of his cheek. There was nausea in addition to the agony. He was suffering from both a migraine and a terrible condition on his left cheek, but the pain on his left cheek was far worse than the migraine. It felt like someone had put a hot iron against his left cheek, which caused the excruciating pain in that area of his face.In addition to this, his skin felt itchy and dry, which was peculiar given that he did not recall doing anything to himself that would have caused his skin to become dry and uncomfortable.He made an effort to lift his arm so that he could pet his left cheek, which was still burning and exceedingly painful, but all of a sudden he realized that he was unable to move his arm in any way. It seemed as though a very powerful and tight object, such as a rope or something similar, was holding it back."What the heck?" Aaron mumbled something, and it was clear from his tone tha

    "Nicolas Nacht?" Aaron Tyris murmured something under his breath in an attempt to make sense of the words of the scary and attractive young man who was staring at him with a frigid expression.He struggled to understand who Nicolas Nacht was as he met his icy gaze, which made him feel both anxious and terrified.Even though Stormwind City was a very large city, throughout the course of his stay in Stormwind City, where he had spent the last twenty years and more of his life, he was certain that he had never encountered a Nicolas Nacht, let alone offended one to the point where he was kidnapped by one of them.He was also positive that he had never kidnapped one of them or even had a run-in with any of them.Furthermore, it appeared as though the animosity between him and this Nicolas Nacht ran exceedingly deep, as the stare that he was receiving from him was the most hostile and resentful stare that he had ever been on the receiving end of in his entire life.In fact, it appeared as t

    For the hundredth time, Aaron's eyes dilated in shock as he tried to process what had just happened. Since he had first come into contact with Nicolas, the number of occasions on which he had been surprised had clearly surpassed the total number of occasions on which he had been astonished during the entirety of his life."How on earth does he know about Jack Harvey?" Aaron pondered, and the shock in his eyes caused them to become even wider than they already were.The idea that Nicolas may find out about his friendship with Jack Harvey was so absurd that it couldn't possibly be taken seriously."I don't understand how Nicolas could have possibly known about my relationship with Jack Harvey," Aaron thought, refusing to believe his ears."I could have sworn that I had all of my dealings with him in complete secrecy," Aaron thought, completely panicked. Aaron's thoughts were frantic as he struggled to make sense of the revelation that his secret had been exposed.In addition to this, th

    "What exactly do you mean by saying that?" The words that Terrence had spoken left Grey Tyris absolutely perplexed, so he asked him. He was a long-time friend of his, but he didn't believe a word of what he was saying since he thought his long-time friend was delusional and absolutely blasphemous.If it weren't for the fact that Terrence was the one who made this statement, he would not even consider it for a second to be a possibility. If it had been anyone other than Terrence who had stated this, the owner of the manor, which was him, would have labeled his long-time friend a lunatic and expelled him a long time ago.The explanation for this was really fairly straightforward.In Stormwind City, there were a total of four overlords.The Tyris familyThe Emerald family controlled the multi-billion-dollar Emerald Group.The Sky family owned and controlled the famous Sky Group, along with several other top business groups.The Russell familyFor as long as he could remember, these four

    Vine Lane, Stormwind City.Vine Lane was one of the numerous middle class areas in Stormwind City, with well-built houses and apartment which were also pleasantly looking occupying the neat streets of the neighborhood.There were of course several middle end cars plying the traffic regulated highway, with the residents heading to their various destinations.The walkway reserved for the pedestrians were as empty as it could be, with only a very few passerby walking occasionally across the well paved ground.The weather was a little bit sunny, but considering the fact that it was 10:21 a.m., it was nothing too serious. Moreover, from the relaxed expression on the faces of the few pedestrians, as well as the residents in the various relaxing buildings like cafés and several restaurants, this wasn’t a one-time occurrence for them, so they were pretty much used to it.The fact that it was a Saturday, which was a weekend also contributed to the calm, serene and scanty environment.Tyrese Mi
