An hour later. Stepping out of the car, a massive building of fifty to sixty stories stood before him, the Vincent Corporation. This was the headquarters of the Mid district, owned by Vincent. He held an incredibly high position in the Mid district and was a legendary figure who built his empire from scratch. It was astonishing how he managed to infiltrate the highest circles of power throughout Radiant Harbor. Indeed a stroke of luck! Theophilus got out of the car and walked straight into the lobby on the first floor of the Vincent Corporation. "Hello, sir. Who are you looking for?" The receptionist asked politely. "I'm looking for Vincent," Theophilus replied nonchalantly. As soon as he said this, everyone stopped by and stared at Theophilus, assessing him. Even the security guards became more severe and approached him. "Excuse me? Are you joking? You're looking for our CEO?" The receptionist quickly assessed Theophilus: "Do you have an appointment?" "No appointment," Theophi
At that time, the waiter named Brown was just a street gangster from the Mid district. One day, he followed his boss to fight against a rival gang leader in another section, but his entire gang was wiped out. He desperately ran for his life, pursued by more than ten armed fighters! However, the waiter named Brown only made a temporary mistake; he still had a good heart. Thus, fate granted him an opportunity to change his destiny entirely and reach the pinnacle of life! Waiter Brown was cornered with no escape when he suddenly saw a young boy standing calmly. He hurriedly advised the boy to flee home and tried to carry him away. At that moment, Waiter Brown knew he was about to die and feared the boy would also be killed. So, he led the boy to a hiding place and then rushed out to the street, risking his life. Unexpectedly, the young boy knocked him down and took his place, single-handedly facing more than ten fierce fighters armed with knives and guns. The teenager's silhouette te
After Theophilus had left, a young guard with a suspicious expression whispered: "Captain, this is Dragon's Death Mountain! What kind of background does that young man have? Why did you let him in without any hesitation? Don't we need to check him?" "Captain? What's the deal with that young man who just arrived? Are you afraid too?" Another guard asked, equally puzzled. It was a joke. They were standing at the foot of the emperor's mountain, guarding the entrance, yet they encountered a higher-ranking official. They were part of a security organization responsible for guarding retired national-level figures. "Stop asking! This is not something you guys should be listening to!" The captain coldly ordered them to stop: "Act as if nothing happened, understood?" The security personnel kept quiet, knowing there were many things they shouldn't ask about in their unique position. The captain's face was complicated as he looked at Theophilus's retreating figure. Despite often encounteri
Ting… Ting… Ting... Dulcie's phone rang suddenly, and she answered it with a severe expression, afterward furrowing her brows. "Mom, I will arrive at the company. There's an urgent board meeting going on." Dulcie said seriously, greeting her mother before leaving the mansion. "Alright, honey, do your best." Ariel happily saw her off. Afterward, she turned to Dai with a cold snort and started making phone calls. "Is this the third nephew's phone number? Yes, it's Rosa, right? Tell your father to call me back later and come to Elysian Echo in two days to stay at my mansion." Ariel spoke on the phone with an authoritative tone. She made seven or eight consecutive calls, contacting all her maternal relatives in a flurry. Each one received a call, and Ariel boasted about living in the luxurious mansion in Dragon Snow, inviting them to visit Elysian Echo in the future. After finishing the calls, Ariel smiled triumphantly, finally able to flaunt her wealth in front of her relatives aft
Lagan maintained a cautious smile, gently stroking his chin. "Maynard, why don't you stay at the Miller Gem Corporation and take over as president?" Lagan suggested delicately. Maynard was overjoyed, exchanging glances with Eugene. "Heh, heh." Eugene coughed twice, then turned to the nearby shareholders: "Everyone's position as a shareholder will remain unchanged. However, I have an important announcement: Dulcie, the deputy CEO of the Miller family, has no right to hold the deputy CEO and executive board member positions. She solely relied on her relationship with an outsider is Leighton to climb the ranks. Therefore, in this board meeting, I officially announce the dismissal of Dulcie from all her positions and her immediate expulsion from the company!" "Dulcie, you can leave now! Get out of the X-Peak building immediately!" Eugene coldly commanded: "Oh, and your assistant Theophilus too, that useless fellow is also fired!" "On what grounds are you doing this!" Dulcie was shocke
"Damn it, where did you lot come from? Trying to ruin my plans?" Maynard angrily shouted, his frustration mounting, a raging fire inside him with nowhere to go. "Who's the idiot trying to play the hero and save the damsel?" Lagan's face showed disdain. In this city of Elysian Echo, there were only a handful of people who could stand against him. Today, he was helping his son vent his anger; who dared to cross him? "We're Richard's men! Here to specially protect Miss Miller." The man in black spoke in a cold tone, showing no fear. They were bodyguards arranged by Richard to protect Dulcie in the shadows. When they came to Radiant Harbor to kill Egbert, they had already witnessed Theophilus's methods and capabilities. Did this father-son duo dare to touch Theophilus's woman? Were they seeking death? "Richard?" Lagan's expression slightly changed, showing a hint of apprehension. He knew of Richard, who lately shone like the midday sun in Elysian Echo, reigning supreme in the city's u
“Take Mrs. Jake home.” Richard instructed. Barrett quickly stood up, opened the door, and Dulcie, still fearful, stepped into the car. A few men dressed in black got into the off-road vehicles and followed Dulcie’s car. Dulcie was terrified, still shivering even after getting in the car. If it weren’t for Theophilus’s friends, she would have been done for! She didn’t know how Theophilus knew these powerful friends who also respected him so much. Barrett silently drove, not scared at all. With Theophilus’s influence, mobilizing troops and setting up such a formation was unsurprising Ring, ring, Dulcie’s phone rang. “Dulcie, are you safe now?” Theophilus asked worriedly. “I’m safe and on my way home.” Dulcie replied. “I’m not in Elysian Echo. If anything happens, remember to call the number I left you right away.” Theophilus said seriously. “Do you know them? Your friends seem to have quite a powerful influence.” Dulcie asked in surprise. “There are a few things. I’ll tell you
"Still not convinced? Want to keep your lives? Kneel, apologize, admit your mistake!" Richard said coldly. Edric stopped, and they each kicked Lagan and Maynard to the ground. At this point, the father and son Lagan couldn't bear it any longer. Their bodies and spirits are tortured, completely collapsing, their bones softened, their teeth knocked out, and their private parts broken. The foul smell intensified, and they lost control of their bowels, their image worse than beggars. "Are you kneeling or not? Are you kowtowing or not? Can you talk?" Richard coldly yelled, slapping them twice in the face, making their eyes vacant like fools. It took more than a dozen slaps to make them regain consciousness. "If you don't kneel, I'll kill you." Richard said coldly, lighting a Montecristo Petit Edmundo cigar. "Ah!" Hearing that they would be killed, Lagan and Maynard instantly sobered up, kneeling and repeatedly kowtowing. "Can't you speak now?" Richard coldly questioned. "Ah! I'm wro
