"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.

    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

This was the only topic on their agenda for the meeting.Nicolas sat back in his comfortable chair and prepared to pay attention to Charlotte's report while simultaneously going through the necessary paperwork that Charlotte handed over to him.After handing Nicolas the essential paperwork to review for the day, Charlotte immediately started briefing him on the reports that she had prepared in anticipation of today.

    "What exactly do you mean by saying that?" With a worried and anxious expression on her face, Charlotte asked in a tone that suggested she was surprised by what her secretary had said. "That is a perfect example of what I mean, Miss Charlotte! Our stock prices are being sabotaged by an unidentified business entity, and as a result, they are currently plummeting in a precipitous manner, and we are unable to stop it." James retorted, his tone of voice becoming even more frantic and worried as he continued to speak. “Continue to keep an eye on the pricing of the shares, and make sure that they don't drop below 50%. I will look into what I can do right away to find a solution to the problem." Charlotte spoke to James in a soothing tone as she attempted to quiet down his anxiety.

Before he went into his study room, he quickly made himself a simple breakfast consisting of scrambled eggs and toasted bread. He ate it peacefully while reading one of his favorite books, ‘The Consortium’s Heir’.Due to the fact that he had an automated AI cleaning robot that took care of the majority of his laundry and kept his big villa clean and organized

    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
