Nicolas was naturally unaware of the presence of James Millard, the mastermind orchestrating a relentless assault on the Clinton Group stock price. Yet, even if Nicolas had been privy to this covert rivalry, his indifference would have remained steadfast and unwavering.

Stormwind City, with its towering summits and bustling streets, stood in stark contrast to the overseas, where his mighty empire, the trillion-dollar Nacht Group, had firmly taken root.

However, it was not the crucifix of his thoughts. With unwavering confidence, he firmly believed that the formidable SAV Trading Company and the illustrious Emerald Group would be no match for his prowess in the cutthroat realm of the stock market.

    'How?!' 'How on Earth?!'"How was he able to recognize me?" The extremely stunning lady, who was later revealed to be known as Lady Neptune of Oasis, had the impression that her mind and ideas were completely jumbled up and mixed up.She was certain that she had managed to keep her identity a secret, and other than the gatekeeper, whom she had tipped off generously, no one else in the entire INVIN hotel was supposed to be aware of her identity, so how on earth did a stranger that she had never heard or seen in her entire life know her identity?"Who are you?" She asked. This time around, Neptune was questioned, and her tone of voice was rather icy. There was even a glimmer of homicidal intent in there somewhere.Yes.She was having severe second thoughts about not sparing the breathtakingly beautiful stranger.Her status as Lady Neptune of Oasis was a closely guarded secret, and anyone who uncovered such a secret should have been instantly put to death or silenced.That was her convi

    Nicolas maintained his composure as Neptune assumed a fighting stance in front of him. In spite of the fact that he did not show any emotion on his face, he could not help but find her behavior to be very amusing.She assumed a combat stance.For real?She genuinely believed that she could prevail over him in a fight?Internally, Nicolas let out a scoff.What a farce this was.He did not assume his own combat stance and instead glanced at Neptune in a calm and collected manner. He had a lot of inquiries regarding Oasis, and as a high-ranking member of Oasis, she would be able to answer all of his queries without any difficulty.Nicolas was unable to show any sign of emotion when he confronted her, and Neptune watched as he did so.In spite of the fact that his stunning face was expressionless, she was able to read the subtle traces of derision and contempt that were evident in his piercing blue irises.It was almost as if he were seeing a clown put on one of their most impressive perf

In addition to its many other impressive qualities, it was resistant to bullets and flames and had the ability to drive itself.Nicolas's thoughts were pretty calm and collected as he drove along the sparse roadway, which appeared to be quite desolate due to the fact that it was late in the night and by this time very few drivers were still on the road.Nicolas was reflecting on how his night had gone, and he was quite pleased with how things turned out

    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
